Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

The era this game is set in is somewhat similar to medieval Europe, at least in terms of food, it is quite close.

People's staple food is mainly black bread and wheat paste. Since there are many magic beasts and few animals, and many magic plants and few plants, meat and vegetables are quite expensive foods in areas other than Amt County.

The brown bread of this era was not delicious, mainly due to problems with raw materials and technology. The yield of wheat as raw material was not high, and the protein content was not enough. When ground into powder, it was mixed with a lot of bran, sand, sawdust - and even Many unscrupulous businessmen will deliberately add impurities into it.

There is naturally no problem with the wheat sold by the elves. The main purpose of the elves is not to make money, but to make more people survive. Therefore, the price of food has remained low for many years. But after buying wheat, it has to be ground into flour before it can be used. Not every household has flour grinding tools. It is good to have a mill in a village or town.

Impurities often occur during the milling process.

The grinding process of this era was very simple and crude. Without shelling or bran removal, the wheat was poured directly into the millstone. The ground flour was coarse, hard and had large particles. The weight of the flour after grinding was strangely reduced by less than half. Far beyond normal losses.

Just forget about the shredded bran and wheat straw that you secretly pick up. The sand is a good thing for weighing - these things are everywhere, and there is no cost to obtain them.

The black-heartedness of this approach is that it doesn’t matter if it’s short of a pound or two, but it still has to be covered up in a big way. As a result, people take the flour home and have to spend manpower and material resources to sift it several times to filter out the impurities...

Some people can't spare this kind of manpower, so they simply use this flour to make bread directly, or sell the flour and buy other people's bread - there are impurities in it, and they can still weigh it.

Just like this, you fool me and I fool you, people just weigh the scales and don't care about the quality, as long as they don't kill anyone.

complaint? There is only one store in the village and it is a complete monopoly. Where can I complain? Not to mention that one person opened his mouth to protest that the bread was full of impurities, but the shop owner on the other side smiled and said, "You sold me this impurity flour!"

Yes, both sides are not innocent.

Bakeries in villages and towns collect flour full of impurities and bake bread full of impurities. After all, if you don't do this, the cost will become very high - maybe only the bread eaten by the baker himself will use the flour. Sieve carefully several times.

As a result, only people with big families and big businesses can eat more delicately - they have the manpower, time and energy to filter out impurities, and have ovens to bake bread - not everyone can afford this expensive thing. owned.

Not to mention poor raw materials, high impurities, and low protein, the most critical fermentation in bread making is also a big problem in this era.

Although the working people here have discovered that fermented bread is more delicious, they have not yet fully mastered the art of fermentation, let alone separating and preserving yeast. That is something that requires an alchemist to complete, but the superiors How could an alchemist care about something as trivial as making bread?
