I am the chief of a primitive tribe

Mu Feng thought about it for a long time, and finally slapped his head: "Ha, my brain, alkaline noodles and the cloth on the steamer!"

He said he was making yeast, but what he made was a starter.

Starter is the dough that allows the lactic acid bacteria in the dough to ferment by themselves in the absence of oxygen.

Of course, the fermented starter will inevitably become sour.

So if the starter is dissolved in water and kneaded into dough, the dough will become sour, and the steamed buns will naturally become sour.

When Mu Feng was young, he had eaten sour buns that were so sour that he couldn't chew them.

This requires sprinkling some alkaline noodles.

Alkaline noodles were easier to get in the previous life, but they are gone now.

He has two choices:

One is to directly exchange alkaline noodles from the system.

The other is to make alkaline noodles by himself.

Alkaline noodles are less and less each time they are used, and he can't use achievement points to exchange them every time.

In addition, he can't always do steamed buns in the future, so he needs to teach his tribesmen how to make alkaline noodles by himself.

There is a simple and simple way to make homemade alkaline noodles. Mix wood ash with water and heat it. The clean water obtained by filtering contains alkali.

There is no need to extract powder from such alkaline water. You can directly mix the dough.

In this way, the steamed buns made may have a little bit of earthy smell, but it is much better than sour steamed buns!

Especially for the people of the tribe, this is almost negligible.

Next is the steamer.

The steamer is just made of bamboo strips, with a large gap in the middle. The kneaded dough can be placed on it and leak directly into the pot. At this time, a steamer cloth is needed to be placed on the steamer.

But the steamer is generally made of coarse yarn, which is breathable and can be washed and reused repeatedly.

But now he hasn't even spun the hemp thread, and the ramie is still soaked in water. It's too late to fish it out and cook it right away.

"It is said that a good cook cannot cook without rice, and this is absolutely true!" Mu Feng frowned and thought, "Now that everyone has the ingredients for cooking, we can't be stuck on a small steamer cloth, right?"

"Let's find a substitute. But what can the tribe use as a substitute?"

Mu Feng thought of when he was a child in his hometown, he would go to the reed pond in spring and summer to pick reed leaves, wash them and spread them on the steamer instead of steamer cloth. The steamed buns would have a little green color of reed leaves, and a unique fragrance of reed leaves.

The taste of that steamed bun has never been encountered again until Mu Feng grew up and ate so many delicacies from land and sea.

"Reed leaves, reed leaves!" Mu Feng frowned and thought, a little annoyed, "There were reed leaves by the river when I went out yesterday, I should have brought some back."

"It should be in time to find someone to go there now, right?" Mu Feng thought, and then shook his head secretly, "If I go there now, I might encounter ferocious beasts, it's too dangerous."

"Oh, bamboo leaves, black bamboo leaves!" Mu Feng slapped his forehead, "Although black bamboo leaves are not as big as reed leaves, they can be used to replace cage cloth."

He did it right away, and hurried to find Li Hu again, asking him to get bamboo leaves.

Li Hu felt confused: the chief used to ask for bamboo slices, but now he even wants bamboo leaves? From bamboo shoots underground, to bamboo on the ground, to bamboo leaves, it seems that they are all useful to the chief!

But he didn't dare to doubt Mu Feng's order, and hurriedly agreed.

He also found that the chief had put a lot of thought into the tribe's relocation.

"Get more bamboo leaves and send them to me!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "Tomorrow is the day of relocation, which is a big day for the tribe to celebrate. I'll let you try something new tomorrow!"

"There's something new to eat?" Li Hu immediately got excited.

Mu Feng laughed dumbly, thinking that Li Hu would be interested when he mentioned eating.

"Sure enough, eating is human nature!" Mu Feng sighed.

"Well, what we are going to make this time may become our staple food in the future!"

"Staple food?" Li Hu was puzzled, "What is staple food?"

"Staple food means that we will eat this thing to fill our stomachs in the future, and meat will no longer be the staple food!"

"Don't eat meat?" Li Hu was even more confused, "What do we eat if we don't eat meat?"

Mu Feng was a little speechless: "If we don't eat meat, we can eat other things, such as mushrooms, wild vegetables, and bamboo shoots. It's just that these things can't be used as staple food."

Li Hu frowned and thought about it before he suddenly realized: "I understand, Chief! You mean that our staple food is meat now, and it will be corn in the future, right?"

Mu Feng was so excited that he cheered. It was rare that Li Hu reacted so quickly!

He nodded and said: "Well, our staple food in the future will be some grains, and corn is just one of them. It can be ground into flour and made into steamed buns or steamed buns. We will definitely eat meat!""Didn't I say before that we should eat a combination of meat and vegetables, so that our stomach, um, can better absorb nutrients, um, be healthier and live longer!"

Seeing that Li Hu had come to his senses, Mu Feng said a few more words to him.

As a result, Li Hu was dumbfounded again and stood there in a daze: "Food, steamed buns, and steamed corn bread? What about stomach, what about nourishment?"

Mu Feng was speechless again, and Li Hu didn't understand again.

He waved his hand: "Okay, go get the bamboo leaves, keep busy, and you'll know when the time comes."

"Yes!" Li Hu turned around and left without any opinion.

Mu Feng stroked his forehead with his hand: "It seems that the civilized education of the tribe really needs to be improved, otherwise it will take a long time to explain one thing, and it's completely unclear."

"By the way, we have to go and see how much flour has been ground. If it's about the same, we can mix the dough!"

He returned to the cave again, and the four people were still "grunting" and grinding flour.

Almost six large jars have been ground out.

"It's a bit slow!" Mu Feng thought, "Four people are so tired, it would be better if there was a donkey!"

Mu Feng thought, but now the flour is enough, he waved his hand: "Okay, no need to grind it, it's enough!"

The four people were relieved and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

One person couldn't help asking: "Chief, why do you ask us to grind corn flour for? Isn't corn cooked? I think the corn cooked by the chief for us a few days ago is very delicious!"

Mu Feng smiled and said: "The corn you eat is not fully mature, you can cook it. These corns are fully mature and the corn kernels are hard, so they can only be ground into flour."

"How can flour be eaten?" the man asked again.

"It can be made into steamed buns or wowotou!" Mu Feng was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Tomorrow the tribe will move, we will have a big meal together, and then we will eat steamed buns together!"

"Steamed buns?" The man was stunned, the same reaction as Li Hu.

Mu Feng nodded: "Yes, I asked you to grind corn flour for making steamed buns."

"Then can we see how to make steamed buns?"

Several people asked: "We want to learn how to make steamed buns next to us, so that we can make steamed buns for our tribe members in the future!"

"Okay!" Mu Feng nodded, "I will teach everyone in the tribe. How about this, you go and call all the women in the tribe, especially those who are responsible for cooking, call them all over, and I will teach you how to make steamed buns!"

"Yes!" The man ran excitedly to call people, and he was very excited all the way: the chief was willing to teach him how to make things in person!
