5. Then take a dustpan, dustpan or baking tray, spread a layer of corn leaves, and then spread cooked wheat on the corn leaves, about 1-2 cm thick.

7. Wheat begins to ferment, and white hyphae slowly grow on the surface. Fermentation continues until the wheat no longer has a fever, and the surface temperature is cooled by hand.

15. Put the fermented wheat dough into a container and knead it into a ball by hand, and add a proper amount of salt (almost all the flour paste you usually eat is salty, so it doesn't matter at all. I exchanged about 2 kilograms of salt for 10 kilograms of wheat. Pay attention to the salty taste when cooking.

16. Add proper amount of purified water or cold boiled water, and beat the wheat flour until it is soaked into a thick paste. It is recommended to use cold boiled water, because the microorganisms and bacteria in it are destroyed in the process of high temperature.

17. Put the batter into a batter jar or glass container, and stir it irregularly until the fermentation is completed, forming a strong-smelling wheat paste. I didn't find a suitable jar at that time, so I put it in stainless steel pot for the time being.
