Chapter 285 Buying a Stone Mill
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other before withdrawing their respective little hands.
This has to borrow an ox cart. No need to pick, Xue Sihu not only bought 100 catties of early rice, but bought 200 catties of early rice from the rice shop.
also spent a few hundred pennies to buy a small stone mill.
In fact, there is a stone grinder in the village. It is in the village chief's house. Anyone who wants to use it can grind it, but Xue Sihu thinks it is very inconvenient. In addition, he thinks that this business can be done for a long time, and it is not good to always go to the village. What kind of rice noodles did the elder family grind, so after discussing with Xue Erhu in the town, and without waiting to come back to ask, he bought a stone mill in the town and let the ox cart pull it back together.
Although there was an ox cart, it was still dark when Xue Sihu and Xue Erhu came back.
The next day, before dawn, I soaked 30 to 40 catties of early rice. I was afraid that I would soak too much and I would not be able to finish so much in one day.
The stone mill was also washed clean.
You can let the cattle pull the stone mill, but the space in the yard at home is too small, and the cattle can’t turn around in it.
The rice is soaked to the point that it becomes powder when you pinch it with your fingers, so it is even soaked.
This not only makes grinding less laborious, but also makes the ground powder very fine. If you use dry rice directly, there will definitely be coarse grains, and you have to grind it several times.
And after the rice is soaked, it has to be drained.
After the was drained, it was placed in the hole above the stone mill, and people began to push the stone mill to turn and grind it.
After grinding, add water and knead it into rice slurry, the consistency is still the level that can be made into rice noodles. Then, leaking wire. Then, remove the cooked rice noodles and put them in cold water. Finally, hang it on a bamboo pole to dry.
Because I’m not sure how many days the dried rice noodles can be kept, I don’t dare to make more, so I made more than 50 kilograms of rice in total.
The rest of the early rice is put there, and it is too late to make it later.
After the rice noodles were dried, I went to the village chief's house to get a scale and weighed it, and found that there were fifty-seven kilograms.
Jiang Yue thinks it's almost the same. Generally speaking, one catty of rice can make about one or two dry rice noodles per catty, depending on the ratio of your water and rice. If the sun is particularly dry, the water content will be less, and it may only be possible to make a pound of dry rice noodles for a pound of rice.
One pound of dry rice noodles can make several bowls of rice noodles.
Of course, it depends on the size of the bowl.
If there are a lot of side dishes, there is no need to add so many rice noodles to one bowl, and the number of bowls made by one pound of dry rice noodles will be more.
Anyway, these fifty-seven kilograms of dry rice noodles can make many bowls.
It took only four days to toss out fifty-seven kilograms of dry rice noodles. Xue Sihu and Liu Guixia were very happy, and they were going to go to town to sell rice noodles.
But because yesterday Xue Yihu had time to make a wooden cart on a cow, the wooden cart is estimated to be ready at noon today, so naturally he can't go to the town to do business today.
Before noon, Xue Wuhu impatiently went to bring the big yellow ox from the cowshed and tied it to the tree at the gate of the yard.
Just waiting to put on the wooden cart to see.
In the morning, the cow was still released by Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, and the cow had just returned from grazing, with bulging stomachs on both sides.
"Brother, are you okay? Are you okay?" Xue Wuhu couldn't help but ask.
"It's getting better, it's getting better, just put these two wheels on it." Xue Yihu smiled very honestly and honestly. He bent down and buried his head, but his hands kept moving, but anyone could see it. How happy he is.
The more he will do, the happier he will be.
The more useful you feel.
can also do more for this home.
