Shen Jiayue was curious and eager to learn.
Lin Xu said:
"The second method is actually not much different from the first one. The only change is using a household grinder instead of a stone mill. This way, it's easier to handle, and the grinder is easy to maintain and doesn't take up much space, making it much more convenient than a stone mill."
This time, Lin Xu roasted quite a bit of ingredients.
Once roasted, he took some black sesame seeds and put them into the grinder's cup, grinding them into a fine powder.
Then he put in the glutinous rice and ground it in the same way.
"Why not grind them together?"
"Because these two ingredients differ in size and hardness. If you grind them together, one may be completely crushed while the other remains in large pieces. So, they need to be done separately."
The grinder cup operates in a high-speed rotation mode, which is much more efficient than a stone mill.
