Pastoral Pretty Lady

Chapter 37 What is the problem (1)
The grate curtain is made of high-quality willow wood, with a round wooden board with many holes, which is a bit like the steaming tray in a modern rice cooker.Just because the pots here are all big iron pots with big mouths and small bottoms, the grate curtain can be directly placed on top.In addition, because it is made of wood, the grate curtain is about an inch thick, and there are many holes on it, which are very large.

It stands to reason that the design of the grate curtain is quite reasonable, and the heat can fully come up, so there should be no problem!

Finally, Gu Xiaoyu set his sights on the lid of the pot.The lid of the pot at this time is not like the aluminum pot lid used in modern rural areas, nor is it directly connected to the pot like a rice cooker, but is made of wood.

The pot lid of the cottage is made of high-quality elm wood, which is divided into two semicircles on the left and right.It can be taken off separately at ordinary times, and can be joined together and placed on the pot when used.

Gu Xiaoyu pondered, the problem may be more likely to be caused by this.

She lifted the two pot lids, put them on the pot, and watched carefully.This pot is really big, and the elm wood is also relatively heavy. Only one piece weighs more than 30 kilograms!

I can't complain that the lid of the pot is not made as a whole like Gu's, but is divided into two halves.

Putting the two pot lids together, Gu Xiaoyu finally discovered the problem!
These two pot lids were made according to the standard of this pot back then.It can be estimated that it has been used for too many years. Due to long-term heat, some places are deformed, and some places are a little worn.So, now that they are paired together, it is obvious that there is a seam in the middle, and the edge cannot be tightly sealed with the edge of the pot due to incompleteness.

It is okay to make rice and porridge, but you can steam steamed buns or something. If there is an air leak, it is very likely that the steam will not be cooked.This group of old men probably never thought of this, and they have been using it like this all the time.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyu staring at the two pot lids, Xia Tian asked: "Why, Xiaoyu, did you find anything?"

Gu Xiaoyu nodded: "I may have found it, but I'm not sure yet. I need to experiment."

"Where is the problem, what do you want to try?" The thin monkey who had been staring at Gu Xiaoyu hurriedly interjected.

"Of course steamed buns!" Gu Xiaoyu began to pour flour into the wooden basin, "Hurry up and help! But I have never made steamed buns. If you don't guide, the food will be wasted! "

Looking at the flour poured into the basin, the thin monkey felt distressed: "If you don't know how to do it, don't mess around, this food is all bought with money!"

Knowing that Shouhou'er is concerned about money, Xia Tian has great confidence in Gu Xiaoyu: "Anyway, I've already bought these flours, and you can't make them. I think it's good for Xiaoyu to try, and maybe it can solve a big problem!"

As he said that, he took the initiative to scoop up a ladle of water from the tank: "Xiaoyu, do you want water?"

"That's right! Brother Xia is the best!" Gu Xiaoyu took the water and said casually.

"Villager, you just let Gu Xiaoyu mess around like this!" The thin monkey understood in his heart, but he still complained a little.

It's a pity, Xia Tian at this moment is still immersed in Gu Xiaoyu's words just now, Xiao Yu said he is the best, Xiao Yu said he is the best!At this moment, how could he care about the thin monkey?

Just about to add water, Gu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered an important thing: "Brother Skinny Monkey, is there any yeast powder on our mountain?"

"What is yeast powder?" The thin monkey seemed to have never heard of this thing.

Um, isn't it?Gu Xiaoyu raised his forehead, there is no yeast powder in this era, so how do they make pasta?
Gu Xiaoyu scratched her head and tried to explain: "Shouldn't the dough be fermented to make steamed buns? It's what's used to leaven the dough!"
