Whether it is wheat, glutinous rice, or flour or rice flour, they are all grains.

So, the four went to the rice shop on the next street.

People here don't know what the principle of maltose production is, they only know how to do it, but Jiang Yue knows that after the wheat germinates, a maltase will be produced, which can hydrolyze the starch in the glutinous rice into maltose.

Therefore, it is necessary to buy wheat to germinate.

Glutinous rice is also to be bought.

However, because this is the south, basically rice is grown. If wheat is not grown, the wheat has to be transported from the north, so wheat and flour are quite expensive.

In the north, you can buy a pound of wheat for only ten cents, and in the south, it costs about fifteen cents.

The flour is milled from wheat, so it is more expensive, anyway, it is more expensive than rice flour.

Jiang Yue did not plan to buy flour to prevent the sugar cubes from sticking, but decided to buy rice flour to prevent the sugar cubes from sticking.

But rice flour also costs 20 cents a pound, because it is ground manually or by animal power. It has to be threshed into polished rice and then ground into flour. It takes a lot of work, and there are no machines in this world.

Because of the low yield of glutinous rice, there are fewer people planting it, and the price is also high. It costs 30 cents per pound.

Either way, in this town, the minimum selling price is one pound.

If you buy half a catty, they won't sell it to you at all.

Originally, Jiang Yue planned to buy two catties of glutinous rice, a little wheat, and a few large rice flours. Because of the authentic maltose method, the ratio of glutinous rice to malt is 40:1.

The cost is also lower.

But because this is not the fully automated sugar production in her original world, the fermentation temperature and ratio can be controlled within the most suitable range, but all controlled manually. In order to ensure full fermentation, the best sugar output can be achieved as much as possible. , the amount of this malt should be more, the ratio can be 10 to 1, 8 to 1, or 4 to 1. Anyway, the ratio can be changed.

The amount of malt is less than the amount of glutinous rice.

Do not have more malt than glutinous rice, otherwise, the maltose produced will be sour.

In fact, you can make maltose without glutinous rice, you can also use rice, but the amount of starch contained in glutinous rice is higher than that of rice, and the maltose made from glutinous rice will taste better.

Just use sticky rice.

Thinking like this, Jiang Yue said to the owner of the rice shop: "Two catties of glutinous rice, one catty of wheat, and one catty of rice flour."

At that time, I won't be able to use so much wheat and rice flour, and I can't do anything about it. I have to buy a pound at least, so I can buy a pound of it.

"Good." The owner of the rice shop hurriedly called the guy to weigh it. "Ninety-five pennies in total."

Jiang Yue was very fortunate that Xue Yihu and Li Hehua paid for the wontons just now, and Xue Yihu and Li Hehua paid for the ox cart. Otherwise, she and Xue Yan would not have enough money.

It was also because she was ill-considered that no matter what kind of food she bought in this town, she had to buy at least a pound.

Xue Yan hurriedly took out the purse to pay.

"Do you have enough money?" Xue Yihu and Li Hehua also took out their money bags, fearing that they would not have enough money, so they would collect it for them.

Xue Yan said: "Enough."

After giving out the money, Xue Yan only had five cents left in his wallet.

Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan's purse, which was deflated at once. If you don't look carefully, you don't know that there are actually five cents in it.

Xue Yan looked at her.

Jiang Yue rarely coughed, and then said to him a little uncomfortable: "Let's go back and ask your mother for some money and put it on us."

Although she felt she had nowhere to spend the money, she always had to buy something sometimes.
