Corn needs to be ground into millet size, and sweet potato needs to be ground into bean dregs, but it can't be ground into powder.
2. Breeding buds. Wash wheat or barley grains, put them in wooden barrels or crocks and soak them in water. Soaking water, cooling water in summer and warm water in winter.
