"Next, steam the wheat grains."
Liu Di spread the wheat grains evenly across the steamer tray, then crouched down to inspect the yellow clay stove.
The old man curled his lip. "This step takes at least two hours. This old man should get some sleep first!"

With that—

The water inside instantly came to a boil!
Steam erupted at once, gushing through the gaps in the steamer tray!
"Although steam has a maximum temperature of one hundred degrees, the heat from the iron pot can boost it. This requires precise temperature control—not enough to scorch the grains, but enough to steam them through."

Liu Di clapped his hands. "They're done! Once the wheat grains cool to 36.5 degrees, they can ferment!"
"That's it?!"
The old man stared with his mung-bean eyes. "Fermentation has to take some time, doesn't it?"
