My Island Survival in the Wild

Chapter 298 Making Maltose

Lin Xiu didn't expect that wheat and corn grew on this island. After all, these two crops grow in different seasons.

But it's not surprising that Lin Xiu quickly considered the island's unique Reda rainforest climate.

"Let me taste it!"

Before Lin Xiu finished explaining, the greedy Da Jin pecked off half of the corn in one gulp.

"It's a bit hard, but it's sweet!"

Da Jin smacked his lips dissatisfied.

"You ate the corn on the cob, of course it feels hard. If you want to eat this thing, you can eat corn kernels!"

Lin Xiu rolled his eyes, and was speechless when he encountered such a silly bird.

Fortunately, the corn is not ripe, otherwise it would probably choke itself to death after taking a bite.

"corn kernels?"

Hearing this, Da Jin instantly put aside the dissatisfaction just now and took another peck.

This time, it scraped off the corn kernels with its mouth, and after eating, its expression became much more comfortable, "It's much more delicious to eat the kernels specially!"

"You can't eat too much now, or this amount of production will not be enough, and I will use this stuff to make better food for you to eat later!"

Seeing Dajin's eyes staring at the remaining corn, Lin Xiu guessed what it was going to do, but there are only so many corns growing, so you can't leave it alone.

At that time, Lin Xiu will use growth acceleration to leave seeds. Only after he leads Xiao Wukong to plant them on a large scale can these corns be supplied in large quantities.

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Da Jin flapped his wings in obvious dissatisfaction.

But it was also obedient and did not continue to eat corn, because Lin Xiu had promised to make more delicious ones for it to eat.

In terms of eating, Da Jin absolutely believed in Lin Xiu.

After cutting off Dajin's idea of ​​continuing to eat corn, Lin Xiu ordered the monkeys to harvest the wheat.

But he avoided the live broadcast perspective, and then used the growth acceleration to ripen the corn quickly.

As long as corn is edible, it is not far from maturity.

Without much effort, Lin Xiu selected more than a dozen corns that could be used as seeds.

"Okay, now you can harvest the corn together!"

The wheat and corn on the island are wild, and the quantity is not too much.

After Lin Xiu finished ripening the corn, the monkeys had already harvested the wheat.

Anyway, it was all free labor, so Lin Xiu ordered them to break it together with the rest of the corn.

With all these things, Lin Xiu and his team returned to the monkey tribe.

When the monkeys in the tribe saw Lin Xiu and the others moving so many things back, they all surrounded them curiously.

"Everyone is out to work!"

What Lin Xiu has to do next will take a lot of time. Although these monkeys are old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe, at least they can do simple tasks.

After the monkeys gathered together, Lin Xiu began to teach them how to hustle the wheat and how to obtain corn grains.
"Well, there's no need to use a mill to crush these tender corns, just mash them when the time comes!"

After Lin Xiu saw the maturity of the corn, he gave up his original idea of ​​building a stone mill.

While the monkeys were removing the wheat husks, he cut some wood and made two big wooden barrels.

Immediately afterwards, some hibiscus tree strips were found, the bark was torn apart, and then all were stitched together to make a bark cloth bag.

These tasks took a lot of time. After Lin Xiu finished weaving the bark cloth bag, it was already afternoon.

Fortunately, the monkeys also accelerated their work progress later on. A large pile of wheat on the ground was successfully shelled and turned into yellow-orange wheat grains.

shhhhh!

Da Jin was fiddling with his paws boredly, and it was very uncomfortable that he couldn't help anything.

And for a foodie, nothing is more difficult than waiting for the food to come out.

It looked at the yellow wheat and corn kernels, and it was already too greedy.

It's just that seeing that Lin Xiu didn't speak, it didn't dare to speak casually.

After the monkeys finished their work, it hurried to Lin Xiu's side and asked expectantly.

"Just wait in peace!"

Lin Xiu rolled his eyes at the silly bird, put the grains of wheat in the stone tank and cleaned them, and then put them in the wooden barrel.

Immediately afterwards, he added water that had not been covered with wheat grains into the barrel, and then closed the lid.

After completing this step, Lin Xiu mashed the corn and steamed it in a stone pot.

"I don't understand what the anchor is doing!"

"I seem to understand. Wheat and corn should be making maltose!"

"Sure enough, he is an all-round anchor, he can even make maltose!"

"But I remember that maltose needs to be fermented, it should take about ten days!"

"It's been so long, then I won't learn from anchors anymore!"

……

After steaming the corn on the fire, Lin Xiu also had some free time, so he could reply to the barrage of the water friends.

"These veterans are right. What I am making is indeed maltose, but this maltose does not need more than ten days to ferment. It can be out of the pan tonight!"

Hearing Lin Xiu's confident words, the water friends rarely raised doubts.

"Impossible. I just make maltose. Maltose itself needs to be fermented. The most you can get out of the pot tonight is a little sweet syrup. It can't be maltose!"

At this time, a water friend stood up and vetoed it. After listening to his well-founded analysis, he immediately got the approval of more water friends.

Water lovers with some common sense in life know that fermented foods like maltose require a long-term reaction to form.

Lin Xiu said that the production could be completed in one day, which just sounds incredible.

Faced with the doubts of the water friends and the facts they raised, Lin Xiu did not deny it.

"Listen to me, there is no absolute thing. The reason why I say this is because I have a secret recipe that can quickly make maltose."

"If you don't believe me, please keep watching the live broadcast today, and I will answer this question with facts!"

That being said, Lin Xiu didn't have any so-called secret recipe. The reason why he dared to make maltose within a day was because he had the ability to accelerate growth.

When it comes to fermentation, fungi play an indispensable role, and the function of accelerating growth is to accelerate the ripening of animals and plants. Fungi naturally belong to the category of biology, so the function of accelerating growth can naturally be used in fermentation.

Of course, this is not Lin Xiu's self-justification, but the answer given by asking the system, otherwise he would not dare to make such a guarantee.

"Although I trust the host very much, today I have a fight with you. I have been making maltose for so many years, and I have never heard of a secret recipe that can complete the fermentation of maltose so quickly."

"If you can make malt candy tonight, I will reward you with 10 great white sharks. If you don't succeed, I hope you, the host, can apologize for your bragging!"

It was still the former water friend, when Lin Xiu touched his domain, he did not hesitate to fight Lin Xiu.

"Okay, I will tell everyone the result with the facts, but this old man, you don't have to reward so many things!"

Lin Xiu was overjoyed. As the saying goes, there are many people who are polite, and for an anchor, there is nothing more important than a gift.
