Da Tang: Three days later, I was frantically collecting supplies

Chapter 170 Maltose is successful, and the microscope is about to come out.

In the past few days, Luo Die and they don’t play mahjong anymore.

Luo Die’s belly is a little bigger than a few days ago, sitting for a long time is uncomfortable, and his back hurts. Without this big guy who throws money, Rouge is not so easy to win. Just as Li Kei planned to teach several of them to make candy, they all came to help. In fact, just let the next person do it.

It’s just idle and has nothing to play with.

Although Li Kei has a tutorial, it is also the first time to do it. There are all kinds of candies in later generations, where do you need to make them yourself?

However, as a science student in his previous life, Li Kei was still very proficient in chemistry. There is no doubt that sugar can be made without instruments with both hands.

Prepare a grate in the house, then sprinkle a layer of wheat seeds, cover with gauze, spray water, and have a stove next to it to keep warm. It’s just growing wheat.

Since there are many people who help, there are still a lot of plants. Li Kei didn’t care, it didn’t matter how much he did anyway. After a few days, the wheat has sprouted and taken root.

Then Li Kei took out a lot of glutinous rice and soaked it, which was much larger than the amount of wheat, about ten times. In fact, the composition of sugar is very simple, that is, simple sugars, monosaccharides or disaccharides are sweet.

Although starch is not sweet, it is a polysaccharide, and a polysaccharide molecule can be divided into multiple monosaccharide molecules. Therefore, starch acts through enzymes in malt and can be broken down into simple sugars.

It tastes extra sweet.

After an hour, the glutinous rice is ready.

Li Kei looked at several large basins of glutinous rice and fell into deep thought. This is especially for mass production!

It seems that you can too!

The sugar technology of the Tang Dynasty was backward, and sugar was a very expensive thing.

This time, make some first, and use it as a gift for the New Year. Almost 0 cost, just send out personal love, reasonable and reasonable. Sure enough, he learned mathematics, physics and chemistry, and he was not afraid to go all over the world.

“Xiao Man, go find a dozen subordinates and wash all these malts.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

“Xiaoyu, go find a dozen subordinates, start a pot and boil the fire, and cook all these sticky rice.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Rouge asked with a puzzled look: “Husband, didn’t you say that you make sugar, what do you cook so much glutinous rice for, and you can’t finish it?” ”

Li Kei scratched her nose and said with a smile: “Do you believe that a little stone becomes gold?” ”

Rouge shook his head: “I don’t believe it!” ”

“Then do you believe that I can turn glutinous rice into several times more sugar?”

“Don’t believe it!”

“Then bet!”

Rouge glanced at Li Kei and said proudly: “No money!” ”

Luo Die leaned in and asked, “Husband, do you mean that these glutinous rice and malt are all raw materials used to make sugar?” ”

“It’s worthy of the big wife, this is all guessed, that’s right, that’s it.”

Luo Die looked at several cauldrons, and thousands of thoughts flowed in an instant.

Li Ji smiled and said, “What’s wrong, have you found a business opportunity again?” ”

Luo Die nodded frantically: “Yes, if we can really make sugar, and the cost is only glutinous rice and wheat, then we won’t get rich?” ”

Wang Yurou smiled: “My sister is confused, we have already made a fortune.” ”

Luo Die was stunned and said, “Eh, that’s what I said.” However, who dislikes a lot of money, when I look for someone to sell candy, I will make a fortune for him. ”

Li Kei touched Luo Die’s belly and said softly: “Oh, your purpose is to raise a good fetus and give birth to a baby to King Ben, don’t worry about anything else.” ”

“Hmm! It’s okay, I don’t work, I arrange for someone to do it. ”

Li Ke: “…..”

Just can’t be idle, Li Ke.

After the malt was washed, Li Kei had all chopped. Then soak in water.

This malt contains enzymes that break down starch, which is the key to making maltose. Glutinous rice is the raw material that provides starch.

Similarly, other grains with a high starch content can also be made into sugar.

After the glutinous rice is steamed, let it cool, but do not let it cool thoroughly, there is a certain temperature reaction faster. Direct into malt-soaked water.

Then stir a little. Wait a few hours.

Then after the residue is removed, the pot of water is sugar water with a very high sugar content. Li Kei asked people to put the sugar water into the pot, and put the pot on the coal stove to boil the guy. After a while, the sugar water in the pot becomes sticky.

As the sweetness of the fragrance drifted, everyone also understood that this sugar was done. Rouge was taken aback: “It really works!” ”

After a while, the sugar was boiled and poured directly on the relatively clean board.

……

……

Then after a meal of kneading and kneading, the maltose is beaten vigorously, and the sugar is completely finished.

While it was not solidified, Li Kei asked people to split firewood and split some small wooden sticks, and then let people make lollipops. When it comes to making lollipops, you will never make ordinary candy, and Li Kei is absolutely unambiguous about this.

Until the evening, the first lollipops were made.

People have also seen the process of making sugar, no need to teach, directly follow this step to continue the remaining raw materials according to the steps.

“Here, try this candy, how does it compare to the candy you bought at the market?” Rouge hurriedly picked up a lollipop and put it in her mouth. ”

I saw her eyes light up: “Well, it’s so sweet, and it’s very fragrant!” Much sweeter than the fragrance on the set, the husband is really powerful! ”

“Just love to eat, but don’t be greedy!”

“Husband, why put in a stick? Wouldn’t it be better to hold it directly in your mouth? ”

When Luo Die heard this, his face turned red again, seeing how Li Kei explained.

As a result, Li Kei said seriously: “Actually, there are many bacteria on our hands, which are directly invisible to the eyes and are relatively dirty.” ”

“Reaching for the candy will put bacteria on the candy, which is easy to cause illness. With this little stick, doesn’t that completely prevent the disease from entering the mouth? ”

Rouge and Luo Die were stunned, and then each looked at his hands.

Rouge was surprised: “No, my hands are very clean, there is no mud at all!” ”

Luo Die also looked at Li Kei with a puzzled expression.

The heart said, isn’t this an excuse for you to deliberately coax the little girl?

Li Kei shook his head and said: “Bacteria are very small, invisible to the naked eye, and it is estimated that hundreds of millions of bacteria are not as big as a salt grain!” ”

Luo Die asked with some disbelief, “Really? ”

“Look at what you asked, as if I were fooling you, how could my husband lie to you? Suddenly, Li Kei seemed to think of something. ”

Luo Die will have a baby in the middle of next year, and she has to pay more attention to hygiene. The ancients just didn’t know bacteria, which caused the infant folding rate to be so high.

“Go back and build you a microscope so that you can see Microscopic World Nine!”
