Chapter 549 Grinding Wheat (2)

Hearing Si Ye's question, Xia Tian neither nodded nor shook her head. Instead, she said, "I don't want to enter Dongfang City, but I don't want to leave either."

Si Ye didn't say anything, waiting for the other party to continue.

"I don't want to go into Oriental City because this is the city that abandoned you. You must have left here for a reason, and it must have been a bad experience. I also don't like the atmosphere inside, so I don't want to go in."

Xia Tian explained slowly, "But I have a very strong intuition that I must go in, into a certain place in this city. It is very important to me. But I don't know where exactly or what I should do."

This was the reason why she refused to use her female identity to enter Dongfang City during the day today.

Unlike those females who came to the city to pursue fame and fortune, she didn't want to cling to anyone's thighs, and she was not with Si Ye for the position of heir to the city lord.

Therefore, it might be a better choice to stay outside the city and observe the situation before figuring out the current situation.

The walls of Dongfang City are too high. Once you go in, you won’t be able to find out many things outside. If you stay outside the city gate, you might find some valuable information.

Si Ye supported her decision as usual and did not raise any objections. He just said, "Okay, if you change your mind, tell me."

As he was talking, the wheat had already been soaked.

I don’t know if it’s because the water and soil in this era are particularly good, but the wheat grown here is much fresher and fuller than that in the 21st century, and doesn’t need to be soaked much.

"The next thing to do is to grind them into powder. It doesn't need to be ground into powder as finely as possible. The main purpose is to separate the outer skin and leave the inner core." Xia Tian said.

Si Ye obeyed and did as he was told.

There are no stone mills here, and they cannot carry them with them all the time, so they can only use stone pestles to crush food and perform this operation in a stone pot.

After all, he is a male, and his strength is stronger than that of modern humans. This process, which originally required special tools, can now be easily completed with hands.

Sift out the unnecessary outer skin and impurities such as germ, leaving only the delicate inner core.

Now the final step is to grind these fine particles into fine powder to obtain edible flour.

"What we need to do now is to grind it into powder." Xia Tian helped on the side and cleaned up the excess garbage.

The originally light yellow particles gradually turned into milky white powder as Si Ye ground them bit by bit.

The audience in the live broadcast room who were originally skeptical were truly convinced after seeing this.

[It’s amazing! I actually saw the flour-making process today! ]

I don't usually have the opportunity to eat food made with flour. I've only seen it in ancient books. Today, I witnessed the birth of flour!

[It was really unexpected. The originally yellow particles magically turned into white powder! ]

I wonder what surprising food Xia Xia will make tomorrow? I’m so excited~

When all the wheat is ground into fine powder, it is still in a paste-like state because of the moisture in the beginning.

"It's ready." Xia Tian picked up a little from the stone pot and tested its fineness. "It's ready to use."
