After finishing making wine, Li Mengxi immediately went to make white flour. Then he took a wooden basin and followed the method of making noodles in his memory, adding water and noodles to make them come alive.

At this time, they were in the palace of the city lord. After returning from military training, Guan Yu took out the Spring and Autumn Annals and was reading. When he saw Li Mengxi busy making noodles, Guan Yu smiled and asked Li Mengxi if he wanted to cook or make dough for people to play with.

Li Mengxi immediately looked at Guan Yu speechlessly, and he thought to himself, Mr. Li is not a child, why would he want to play with someone else's face?

"Make yeast, steam buns...steam buns." Li Mengxi said.

Why don't we say steamed buns instead of steamed buns? This is because when talking about steamed buns, Guan Yu will definitely be curious and ask why they are called steamed buns. Then he has to explain that steamed buns are barbarian heads. They were the heads of Zhuge Wu when he conquered the southern barbarians.

When Shao Sheng was killed, he pinched the shape of a barbarian's head with his face and stuffed it with the meat of five animals to sacrifice to the souls of the dead.

Guan Yu then asked, who is Zhuge Wuhou, and why does Zhuge Wuhou want to attack the Southern Barbarians?

Oops, how do you explain this? How do you explain Zhuge Wuhou?

Can't explain it.

Therefore, steamed buns could not be invented. Steamed buns could not be called steamed buns, they had to be called steamed buns.

Guan Yu was very curious about steamed buns.

Guan Yu put away the bamboo slips and asked in detail.

Li Mengxi said, "Momo is a kind of pasta, and the key lies in the yeast.

Once you have the leaven, use warm water to stir the dough, then knead the dough to make it firmer, then place it in a wooden basin and let it rest.

There is a peculiar thing about this leaven. The leaven likes to breathe. When it breathes, the dough becomes full of holes.

In this way, the dough will be like loofah pulp, loose and soft.

At this point, divide the dough into fist-sized pieces, place it on a wooden pat, place it in a vat, add water, cover it and cook. After two seconds, the dough will be cooked and the buns will be ready.

The steamed buns are soft, delicious, sweet and glutinous when eaten here.

It’s more delicious than pancakes, better than pot cakes, better than Hu cakes, and better than dead dough cakes.”

Li Mengxi once described all the pasta and pancakes in the army. He even said they were not delicious and were not as delicious as steamed buns. This shows how much Li Mengxi resented the food in the army. None of them were delicious, not as good as steamed buns.

Li Mengxi was very eloquent, and it was just steamed buns. Li Mengxi described what was soft, delicious, sweet and glutinous, which made Guan Yu curious. What does this steamed bun taste like and why is it so delicious?

This is not the end, Li Mengxi continued, “In addition to steaming, you can also add sorghum noodles to make fox head steamed buns.

You can also chop green onions, add salt and sesame noodles, and make Hanamaki steamed buns.

You can also add sophora flowers, shepherd's purse, horseradish, lotus root, and radish to the dough to make vegetarian steamed buns.

You can also wrap various meats to make meat buns.

You can also make it with meat and vegetables.

Also, there are soup dumplings, crab roe dumplings, fried dumplings, and so many more.”

What Li Mengxi said made him drool. Li Mengxi said a lot. How could Guan Yu not believe that Li Mengxi had something good again?

Before eating a dish, Li Mengxi made dumplings, but the dumplings themselves were made with medicinal ingredients. They were filled with ginger, garlic, fennel, pepper, etc. There were too many things added, which made the taste very bad.

But steamed buns are different. This is what Li Mengxi really prepares as food.

After a long time, Li Mengxi was finally able to improve his food.

The dough will be ready in a short time.

After finishing the dough, he kneaded the dough into small balls and placed them on a clean wooden board. After placing more than twenty pieces of dough on the wooden board, Li Mengxi went out with the board.

The current climate is not suitable for making yeast. It is too cold and the dough will probably freeze hard if left outside.

But the city was in ruins and there were no houses with enough insulation, so Li Mengxi thought of a fire kang.

Fortunately, we had made the kang in advance to keep out the cold, so we had a place to keep warm.

Li Mengxi arrived at the wounded soldiers' camp. At this time, the number of fire pits in the wounded soldiers' camp was already over capacity. There were already more fire pits than wounded soldiers, and every wounded soldier had a place to sleep.

Li Mengxi found a remote tent, drove the few lightly wounded people in the tent to other places, and vacated the tent.

Then, Li Mengxi had a tent dedicated to storing dough.

Put the noodles on the hot bed, it will be hot.

Thinking about it, as long as the heat preservation is good, the yeast colonies free in the air will multiply after landing on the dough. When the dough becomes sour and sour, it means that the dough is ready for fermentation.

The reason why he drove the lightly wounded to other tents was that Li Mengxi was afraid of bacterial contamination caused by personnel activities.

Everything was ready. Li Mengxi looked at the long fire bed and then at the small wooden boards placed on the fire bed. He felt that such a big fire bed could only keep a few small pieces of dough warm.

However, even if it is a waste, a separate tent must be made available.

Li Mengxi thought for a while, and he thought, is there any way to improve the utilization rate of the fire kang, and what else needs to be kept warm?

Li Mengxi quickly thought of making maltose, because just a day or two ago, he helped a group of people from outside, and a baby among the people almost starved to death. Maltose came in handy. Since he had just come into contact with maltose, Li Mengxi could only think of it.

Something related to maltose.

It is said that because of the snow and cold weather, the production of maltose in the army came to a halt, and maltose is an important material. There are several seriously injured soldiers in the army who suffered stomach and abdominal injuries and cannot eat. They have to rely on easily absorbed maltose to replenish their energy.

Since winter, Li Mengxi has forgotten about maltose.

Li Mengxi immediately went to find a few people who were specifically responsible for making maltose. In the past, during the march, making maltose was a march production, and it was done on the maltose wagon. Now that they are stationed, there is no need to use the maltose wagon. Several

The farmer took out the drawers from the carriage and placed them one by one on the hot bed. He still had a full kang that was still empty.

According to the process of making maltose, the peasants still sprinkled some wheat on the drawer, then sprinkled some water, and then covered it with a layer of wet linen cloth. The process was OK, but Li Mengxi discovered a problem.

The fire kang is an amazing thing. People with strong fire power can get nosebleeds while sleeping on the fire kang. With the fire power of the fire kang and water splashed on them, they will be dry in a short time.

In the same way, if the maltose drawer is placed on the kang, the water will dry up after a while, and the wheat will not be able to germinate without water.

After all, the fire kang from later generations is a new thing to the people. It is normal for the people to not understand the fire kang.

The method of producing maltose had to be changed. Li Mengxi ordered several peasants to find thick wooden boards, then stack the wooden boards and put drawers on top. At the same time, Li Mengxi told him to sprinkle water on the wheat every once in a while.

With insulation technology, maltose production can be restarted.
