Why can’t I buy yeast? What can I do if I can’t buy yeast during the epidemic?

Who would have thought that during the epidemic, apart from masks and disinfectants, yeast was out of stock? It turns out that during the epidemic, everyone stayed at home and couldn't go out, and they became gourmets, making steamed buns, bread and other snacks at home. So it's normal that you can't buy yeast in the supermarket.

Why can't I buy yeast?

Let me tell you something. The largest yeast supplier in China, Angel Yeast, is headquartered in Hubei.

In addition, the impact of epidemic prevention and control measures, such as logistics companies being unable to work normally and road closures, has greatly affected logistics.

Then, everyone was staying at home with nothing to do, so they started making pasta!

In the past two days, there are many people in my circle of friends who show off their homemade bread, steamed buns, and dumplings.

This is in my circle of friends. If you search for the keywords steamed buns/steamed buns/bread, there are so many results. I haven’t taken screenshots of all of them. There are also many people who make cakes, pizzas and various Western pastries. Some people also post pictures without keywords.

After staying at home for so many days, people are tired of eating at home. The cooking skills are limited, and the ingredients are limited. When the conventional dishes are done and you have a lot of time, many people start to try a good way to kill time - making various fermented pasta.

What to do if you can’t buy yeast during the epidemic

There is nothing we can do about not being able to buy yeast. There is no solution.

I went to the supermarket fully armed on the weekend and looked at each other with a few other young mothers who were wandering in front of the empty yeast shelves.

Then they sighed and went home.

When I got home and checked my social circle, I saw my sister had started making cold noodles.

My mother is really smart. She knows that I don’t cook usually, but now I have no choice but to cook at home. However, I have already finished what I know how to cook, so I have to try making pasta. I don’t even go to the vegetable market, so I just go there and buy 10 packets of yeast.
