Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Jiayao was not being polite when he said Jiang Tuan was a good teacher. Jiang Tuan was so detailed when he explained the method to him. He felt that as long as they listened carefully, anyone in the kitchen could make steamed buns successfully.

If Jiang Tuan knew what Jiayao was thinking, he would definitely be very dissatisfied. What does it mean that anyone can succeed as long as they put their heart into it?

Is he not careful enough, or is he not a human being? How can he be so hard to describe?

Fortunately, Jiang Tuan didn't know what Jiayao was thinking. His mind and eyes were now filled with the steaming buns. When the other party took the buns out of the steamer, he immediately tasted one.

After tasting it, he found two problems.

First, the steamed buns in his hand were a little rougher than the ones he had eaten before. But there was nothing he could do about it. The wheat flour in Daxia was not ground as finely as modern flour, so a little roughness was understandable and acceptable.

Second, this steamed bun was not as fluffy and delicious as the ones he had eaten before. It was hard in texture and tasted a bit sour.

This puzzled him, why did it become hard and sour? Could it be that too much old dough was added?

"My Lord, my Lord, how does it taste?"

Hearing Jiayao's voice, Jiang Tuan came back to his senses from his thoughts. Instead of telling the other party about the problem he had discovered, he let the other party taste it first.

With the experience of the ginger milk last time, he knew that his taste was somewhat different from that of Daxia people. It would be best not to use his own taste to match the taste of Daxia people. He should listen to what others say before making any comments.

"Try it first and then we'll talk."

Jiang Tuan spoke, and Jiayao picked up a steamed bun and examined it carefully. The appearance of the steamed bun was very good, delicate and smooth, making people want to eat it just by looking at it.

Thinking of "delicate, tender and smooth", he suddenly found that he seemed to have been saying this word since the appearance of ginger balls. He had said this about everything from tofu to double skin milk, ginger milk, to the current steamed buns.

This gave him the illusion that Jiang Tuan was best at making things that looked and tasted like this.

Jiang Tuan didn't know about Jiayao's strange idea. If he knew, he would definitely say that he was not best at making food that looked and tasted like this. It was just a coincidence, everything was just a coincidence.

After observing the delicious dish, he took a bite and was pleasantly surprised by just this one bite.

This food called steamed bun was very soft and much more delicious than the hard wheat cake. It was so delicious that he was reluctant to swallow it.

After eating for a while, he felt some sweetness in his mouth again. He thought it was an illusion, so he took another bite and continued to taste it. This time he was sure that he really tasted sweetness.

"Your Majesty, this steamed bun is soft and delicious, but I don't understand one thing."

"You tasted it too, right?" Jiang Tuan thought that Jiayao, like him, also tasted that the steamed buns were a bit hard and sour.

"Yes, I tasted it. Your Majesty, can you tell me why this steamed bun tastes a little sweet when I didn't add honey or maltose when I made it?"

I want to tell you it's sour, and you tell me it's sweet. Is this what they call talking at cross purposes and talking irrelevantly?

Jiang Tuan knew why steamed buns tasted sweet. This was a little bit of chemistry knowledge, but how could he explain chemistry knowledge to an ancient person?

Forget it, I don’t know how to explain it so I won’t explain it.

"This is how steamed buns taste. Don't be surprised. But that's not what I want to talk about. Do you feel that they are hard and sour when you eat them?"

Hard? The delicacy didn’t tell. To him, the steamed buns were much softer than the wheat cakes, and he couldn’t feel where they were hard.

Sour? Jiayao tasted it, but the sour taste was not particularly strong. He thought that was the taste of steamed buns, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that Jiang Tuan brought it up, he took another bite and said, "Your Highness, I didn't taste any hardness, but it was a little sour. Could it be that there's something wrong with the dough I made?"

Jiang Tuan carefully looked at the remaining dough. It was not moldy or smelly, so there should be no problem. He watched the whole process and did not see any problem.

But why does it become sour? What's wrong?

He scratched his head, not knowing how to solve this problem. If he had known he would travel back to ancient times, he would have learned more from his grandparents.

He couldn't think of the reason for the time being, so he could only give up. Fortunately, Jiayao said that many people had never eaten this steamed bun, so they probably wouldn't mind the sour taste.

After all, compared to hard wheat cakes, people would probably prefer steamed buns even if they taste a bit sour.

After spending some time in the kitchen, Jiang Tuan returned to the palace where he lived at dinner time. He tried to hold back for a while but couldn't, so he called the system.

"System, system, are you there?"

After calling a few times without getting a response, Jiang Tuan knew that the system was still checking its own program, so he could only continue waiting.

After waiting for a long time, it was time to go to bed. Before going to bed, he called again with an attitude of giving it a try, and this time the system finally responded.

"Dear, the system is here!"

"System, great, you finally responded. How about it? Can you collect some energy first?"

"Dear, after the system checked the internal program, it was confirmed that some programs can be modified to collect some energy first, but there are certain restrictions!"

After the system's explanation, Jiang Tuan knew that since the system was advanced intelligence, its owner had given it certain permissions.

In addition, after its owner discovered that he could not travel with it, he was afraid of unforeseen events and further relaxed this permission.

In addition to mandatory procedures such as "cannot harm the host", the system can actually adjust energy collection within a certain range.

However, this adjustment is huge and cumbersome, and even a system with advanced intelligence took some time to adjust.

The key is that this kind of adjustment cannot be made as you wish, there are certain limitations.

For example, Jiang Tuan said that after something is made, before it is widely used, it is possible to collect some energy first. However, the amount of energy collected is constrained by the program and cannot be changed.

“How much can you collect first?”

"Dear, if the energy that the system can collect from making something to its widespread use is 100%, we can collect 10% of the energy as soon as we make it now!"

It’s only 10%. Jiang Tuan thought he could collect 50%.

After all, it is not easy to make useful things, but it is much easier to promote them. Even in a place like Daxia where information exchange is inconvenient, spending more time can always make everyone know about it and use it.

But we can't despise it. Ten percent is ten percent. It's better to have it than nothing.

"Then how much energy can I collect from the things I have been working on during this period of time?"

As soon as Jiang Tuan asked the question, the system gave him an order. This order was much more complicated than the previous one.
