Chapter 76 Soy Sauce

Just because Caleb Ryan can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

For example, Albert Benton of the Benton family said, isn't brewing wine something that anyone with hands can do?

It was clearly the same process, but Albert Benton was able to make it almost perfectly after just watching the video once, and it tasted pretty good.

On the other hand, Albert Benton couldn't make vinegar no matter how hard he tried.

Caleb Ryan's mind is finally balanced!

Now that the vinegar is brewed, it’s time to make soy sauce.

Like synthetic vinegar, artificial soy sauce uses chemical methods instead of traditional fermentation to shorten the production cycle, which makes it lose its taste and nutrition.

Tang Jia clenched his fists and decided to start making soy sauce.

What did that advertisement say?

"Good soy sauce, show it out!"

We already have the soy sauce, so how about making some soybean paste, the soul of Northeastern cuisine?

Stewed fish, stewed pork ribs, stewed chicken, stewed goose, stewed beans, stewed potatoes, stewed eggplant... With its bright red color, mellow taste and salty flavor, soybean paste can do everything.

As soon as he thought of it, he started to act. Tang Jia turned around and took out the soybeans and wheat at home.

Part of the soybeans and wheat are soaked and ground into a paste, and part is soaked in water until they swell and then steamed until they become a paste.

Otherwise, shall we make some soy sauce first?

Mix the ground soybeans and wheat together, add salt and water, stir evenly, put them into a jar, and place them in a fermentation room for fermentation.

To ensure even fermentation, the soy sauce is stirred regularly every day. It takes about four months for the soy sauce to be fully fermented.

The fermented soy sauce is poured into wide-mouthed porcelain jars and placed on the roof to dry in the sun.

This is not an easy task. The soy sauce needs to be turned over constantly for two months so that it can be dried evenly.

After drying, pour the soy sauce into a pot, heat and boil to remove impurities and moisture, making the soy sauce richer.

After more than half a year, the first batch of soy sauce in StarCraft was finally born in Tang Jia's hands.

It takes a lot of effort to brew soy sauce, and soybean paste is not easy to make either.

It is better to choose newly produced, mature soybeans with a strong bean aroma. After removing impurities, wash them clean and soak them for a day.

Choose a sunny afternoon, boil the soybeans until cooked, and cover them in an iron pot overnight.

At this time, the cooked soybeans have turned into a deep red sauce.

Cooked soybeans can be processed into paste, which can then be crushed into paste. The paste can then be wrapped with large white paper and placed in cartons for fermentation.

Wait until the mold in the middle of the sauce base matures, then wash the fermented sauce base with warm water, dry it, and put it into the sauce jar.

According to the ratio of one pound of soybeans, six ounces of salt and five pounds of water, add boiling water with spices to dissolve the salt.

After the brine has cooled completely, add it into the sauce jar, seal it and sun-dry it for half a year, and the soybean paste is ready.

It takes more than half a year to make this soy sauce and paste, which takes a lot of time and effort.

But when she saw the finished product, she immediately felt that all the efforts were worth it.

With soy sauce and sauce, Tang Jia immediately developed a series of dishes.

After cutting these out, adding text, and throwing them to Caleb Ryan, Tang Jia no longer cared about them.

Looking at the massive influx of work once again, what else can Caleb Ryan do?

Of course, accept it!

As soon as the wine and the three seasonings were created, Caleb Ryan sent them to Dr. Pine for a mental contamination test.

After it was proven to be effective, Caleb Ryan immediately told Tang Jia the good news.

Tang Jia turned around and sent Dr. Pine's research report to Hai Xinghan, the little prince of the sea tribe and a freshman in the Art Department of the Alliance's First Military Academy. He also arranged a table of Northeastern dishes for Hai Xinghan, the most eye-catching of which must be the big fish stewed in an iron pot.

The effect is awesome.

Hai Xinghan was just about to drag Tang Jia and the fat boy George Patton to do a Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood.

Hearing that he could buy seasonings and recipes from Kyle Ryan, the commander of the Central Legion, Hai Xinghan immediately contacted his family and took action.

Tang Jia immediately relayed this news to Caleb Ryan. Before the Sea Tribe representatives even set out, Caleb Ryan had already prepared a series of silky combos, with three plans awaiting them.

Caleb Ryan couldn't drink much, but he was an expert at designing plans, which shocked the sea tribe representatives. He exchanged a thin stack of recipes for more than twice the expected resources, which made Caleb Ryan so happy that he kept calling them "huge bastards".

This action shocked Long Qingdai.

If she could obtain the recipe by using resources, she would have searched far and wide, traveling thousands of miles to the Art Department of the First Military Academy of the Alliance, asking around for information...

What is the meaning of all this she does?

Could it be that this is just to help Hai Xinghan?

Long Qingdai frowned, and asked Huo Qingyu to investigate Hai Xinghan's itinerary, while asking someone to contact Kyle Ryan, and she herself went to Hai Xinghan to get some information.

Hai Xinghan was a tight-lipped person, so it was not difficult to get information out of him, especially now that he was feeling proud. As soon as Long Qingdai opened her mouth, Hai Xinghan started to talk non-stop and told her everything.

Hearing that this matter was related to Tang Jia, Long Qingdai raised Tang Jia's danger level and asked Huo Qingyu to investigate the relationship between Tang Jia and the Ryan family.

It’s just that Ryan’s family kept their affairs very clean, and had nothing to do with Tang Jiaming on the surface.

Huo Qingyu investigated for a long time but found nothing. Not to mention Tang Jia, even Sun Wei did not appear to have any significant relationship with the Central Legion or the Ryan family.

However, Long Qingdai learned from Hai Xinghan that it was the fat boy George Patton, the young master of Nig Restaurant, who proposed contacting Kyle Ryan to discuss cooperation.

Long Qingdai and Huo Qingyu immediately turned their attention to George Patton and began to investigate openly and secretly.

The Central Corps is the main military force stationed on the main star, and Parma Patton is the owner of Nig Restaurant. If he wants to make Nig Restaurant the largest restaurant in the alliance, Parma Patton has to establish a good relationship with the Central Corps.

Not to mention that Parma Patton and Kyle Ryan are familiar with each other, more than half of the commanders of the Central Corps and the members of parliament who have always been at odds with the Central Corps, all have more or less personal relationships with Parma Patton.

Parma Patton's social network covers the entire top level of the alliance. As his default successor, George Patton's social network is also not small, and now even includes the little prince of the sea clan, Hai Xinghan.

Even for someone as smart and capable as Huo Qingyu, it would take at least three months to sort out George Patton's complicated social network.

By that time, the daylily will be cold!

Long Qingdai and Huo Qingyu were not stupid, so they gave up the investigation and instead begged Hai Xinghan's men, saying that they wanted to get to know the young master of the Nige Restaurant.

When George Patton heard that Long Qingdai wanted to meet him, he felt quite flattered and agreed immediately.

However, it’s okay to know each other and there’s no big problem with having dinner, but do you want to get information from the fat guy?

He is not Hai Xinghan!

The fat boy George Patton knew exactly what to say and what not to say.

Isn't it just the same old words being repeated over and over again?

He, George Patton, has never been cowardly!
