Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 498: Just Half a Day

"Whether or not a lot of people want barley bread."

Defer the conclusion as to whether the barley bread is delicious or not and revert to the earlier topic.

"In fact, can I make flour in a way that goes with barley"

In response to my question, Bill Honen shrugged his shoulders and answered.

"It's not difficult. In the end, powdermaking is the task of crushing a certain size of grain into smaller grains with the action of stone molars. The grains of barley, as you know, are a lot bigger than wheat, so you need to crush them coarsely to the same size as wheat in a specially adjusted stone mold for barley. But then I think we can mill it just like wheat."

"However, if you do that, processing will be a hassle twice. No matter how low the cost of materials is, you can't squeeze them twice, and the price will go up."

Bill Honen says it is technically possible, but points out that Claudio will not engage economically.

None of this is to be missed about barley flour.

"You don't know that unless you try that. It is very difficult until the barley is powdered, but processing barley to the same extent as wheat may be easier."

"In the end, you won't know until you try it."

"Well, you can adjust the gap between the stone molars in half a day, so you can check when you can."

Bilhonen may have pointed it out to me in the sense that even if I made a stone mold dedicated to barley, it would be possible to convert to it for wheat, but there was something I didn't listen to, so I listened back like a parrot.

"Is it going to take half a day to adjust?

"Yeah, because we have a lot of good craftsmen"

The stone locksmith responded with his chest stretched, but I was dazzled.

Doesn't that mean the machine will stop for half a day if you don't have a line of stone molars according to the granularity!

I'm trying to build a lot of water wheels in my territory because I'm interested in the flour mill industry.

A flour mill using a large number of water wheels is an apparatus industry, which, to say the least, has to keep the machine running 24 hours a day, 365 days a week.

You can't coarsely mill wheat, adjust it for half a day to further reduce granularity, and then do something pastoral like milk.

Besides, thank you. It sounds like skilled craftsmen have to be tight to adjust the stone molars.

A skilled craftsman can finish in half a day, but it can take more than that.

"If you're going to move the water wheel and the stone molar all the time, you need a stone molar depending on the size of the grain, too, for wheat. I can't decide which one I want without looking at the seller."

"That's... you're gonna need a lot of craftsmen."

"Until the wheat is put in or the milled wheat is separated and sieved, we can automate it, right?

When I asked, Bill Honen shook his head left and right.

"You can't tell by me. I think how it works in a water wheel is another expert's job."

Is that true? However, I think I did it automatically until I sifted the powder on a water wheel I had seen in sightseeing.

However, I can't throw away the possibility that the mechanism in my memory was powered by electricity and other powers, as it is probably a short memory I saw in tourist destinations, but I also remember it wasn't that difficult.
