2197 Episode 2181: Day 244 The Lamb Waters into the Lambs. (Let's try the traditional method of making grain vinegar.)

Takeo's bedroom.

Mia and the little ones went back to their rooms after bathing.

Now Takeshi, Alice, Pana and Konoha were making tea.

"Takeo, did the chef tell you to make sheepskin out of candy?"

Civiconoja says as she eats the kanto.

"Yes, you can take it with you if you make sheepfish, right?"

It works well and is a great way to travel. ”

"Well, sheepfish is a lump of sugar."

With gelatin? "

"Yes, sheepskin has a lot of energy."

It's good for rapid nutrition when you're tired. ”

Chibikonoja and Chibipana say the words of Takeo.

Konoha, what is a Western-style building?

"Ah, Alice, sheepskin."

"Yokan, as far as I'm concerned, it seems like I'm going to use a tweezers."

Alice asks.

Yeah, Takeo's trying to harden that forceps.

"Stiffen it?... How do you stiffen the forceps?"

I don't know what you're saying, but you're pretty good at it, aren't you?

Well, the cold stuff can be a bit hard. "

"You ate Alice in King's Landing, too, gelatin."

"Gelatin... ah! It's the one your Highness An made for me before."

"Yes, I'll use it to consolidate the stiffness."

You should be able to make sweets that are convenient to carry...

Konoha, you don't have bamboo, do you? "

"Ah... I can wrap it in bamboo leaves... no."

No, but... hey, takeo, do you make sheepfish with gelatin? "

Yes, that's what I'm going to do?

"Takeo... sheepskin is the one that has been hardened in the cold weather by making a base with a thick layer of water."

It's common to call something with a small amount of agar a water lamb.

Surely agar and gelatin have the same properties?

But... do you think that gelatin is only equivalent to water and lamb? "

Civiconoja says.

... um... won't it harden?

Takeshi says while thinking about it.

"It will harden."

But the difference between gelatin and agar is the texture and the temperature at which it hardens.

The gelatin is pully and the agar is firm.

Gelatin hardens below 15 degrees, but agar hardens from about 40 degrees.

The point is that the gelatin solidifies in the refrigerator at room temperature.

And if you leave the gelatin at about 30 degrees in the summer, it will melt.

So jelly is basically cold, right? "

It's true... that tomorrow, all you're going to make is a clump of water and sheep, right?

"I'm sorry to hear that."

If you put it in a mold and chill it, I think you can enjoy it as a water sheep leaf.

How to make it with agar and how to make it with gelatin... I think they're both delicious.

Besides, using gelatin is easy.

I don't think it's a problem to announce it as a water sheepskin.

Takeo, I was getting dried seaweed from Count Temple before, but was there agar? "

"I checked with Pana and the chef, but I couldn't."

I was expecting to find kelp and wakame, but I haven't been able to find them yet.

I think there is a pitch from within or beyond that.

That's when you expect it. ”

Hmm... by the way, do you know where Takeo is from?

It's true... it's a deep red seaweed called Amakusa, right?

"Oh, I've seen it before."

"Where was it... when I went to the fishing port, I was told that it was an ingredient of tokoroten and agar.

I was not interested in tokoroten or agar, so I thought it would be red.

I didn't expect to come here and look for it. ”

How do you make agar?

"I don't know."

Well... do you want to simmer it? There is a vague image. ”

Takeo says.

Hmm... well... I'll tell you when I find Amakusa.

By the way, takeo, you want vinegar, right? "

Definitely.

"Well... there's a possibility that you can do black vinegar."

"Oh... do you need it to make agar?"

"Yeah, I'll need a little vinegar."

"I see."

So it's black vinegar... do you think you can do it? "

"Yes, it should have been easier to make traditional vinegar in Kagoshima."

Um... was it vinegar in a kettle?

"Steamed rice", "koji" and "water" are the only ways to do it.

It will take at least a year to mature, but it will definitely produce vinegar that is more suitable for cooking than wine vinegars today. ”

"Hmm... I can sell it as soon as the recipe is published."

"Yeah, I can sell it, I can use it."

"The ingredients are similar to sake."

"That's right.

Japanese sake and vinegar are like brothers in terms of production.

Do you feel like we're going to split up?

Mirin is the end of sake, isn't it? ”

Why isn't that pot of vinegar going to first class right now?

"There must be a long maturation period and a variation in quality."

Because the craftsmen do it, it doesn't have to be uneven.

Takeo knows that grain vinegar matures mostly for a month or two.

Short maturation period means that there is not much difference in flavor and color. It can be evenly used as a product quality. Short maturation period in the first place means that the storage period is short and the shipment can be done immediately.

It means that it is suitable for mass production and mass consumption.

As a producer, I think that being able to wholesale immediately means that the product value is high. "

"I see."

The vinegar looks good. ”

I got it.

It depends on the test... but I'll try it when I make alcohol and miso. "

“Yes, please.

You can use as much rice as you need for prototyping. ”

I got it.

I'll do it while consulting with you properly. "

Civiconoja nods.

"Pana-chan, are you going to bed now?"

"That's right.

Takeo, Alice, see you tomorrow. "

Good night ~

Civic Pana and Civiconoja disappeared.

Takeo-sama, I need to talk to you a little bit.

Alice makes me say it with a determined look on her face.

"Hah... I thought you were thinking about something earlier... but let me ask you something."

Takeo nodded.
