Chapter 468 Cassava
Chapter 460: Cassava

Li Junge shook his head: "Is there any reason? The taro is so big, the rice is harvested for three seasons, the fruit is rotten on the street, and the products are so rich. This is God's reward... Why didn't it become a developed country..."

Back to the camp with the taro on his back, he saw that A Yin had already returned and was boiling water with a pot.

Seeing him come back, Ayin said, "Where did you go, Erpi? Yo! You dug the taro back!"

Li Junge said: "Isn't it necessary to open a casserole? We in Jiachuan open a casserole to cook rice porridge. I thought we would cook taro similarly, so I went to dig it back."

Ayin couldn't help laughing: "You are really the same as Wuxi No. [-], you can make do with everything, but you don't lack any rules!"

Li Junge used a knife to cut off the small balls of the taro, buried them in dry sand, scooped up a basin of water, washed the big taro mother and child, scraped the skin and cut them into pieces.

Then quickly wash your hands with soap and warm yourself by the fire, this thing is itchy.

Add the ginger and scallion flavor to the fish pieces, and Li Junge boils the taro first, and makes the taro soup paste in a casserole.

After the taro is cooked, put it on a ceramic plate, wash the casserole, add oil, put the fish pieces in a bamboo wire strainer and fry them.

Fry it for a while, take it out, pour out the excess oil, add taro soup, add sliced ​​ginger and spring onion, add fish head first after the soup boils, then add fish pieces, gurgling and watching the soup become snow white.

Then add taro cubes, cook for a while, sprinkle with salt, and a pot of taro catfish soup is ready.

Throw away the old scallions, sprinkle with fresh scallions, and the two bring the fish soup to the table, ready to eat.

Ayin glanced at the big and small beard who was filming, and said with a smile: "Why don't you come and eat together?"

The bearded man swallowed, but shook his head after thinking about it.

The mustache looked at the beard with resentment.

Ayin smiled when he saw the mustache, took a pot, filled a pot of fish soup out of the casserole, put it aside and said: "Erpi and I can't finish it, and the taro can't be put in, so just put it in Just drop it first."

Then came back to have dinner with Li Junge.

After dinner, Ayin went to bed as well, and Li Junge usually did some quiet work at this time, so he was going to get out the bamboo hat today.

The bearded man was rushing to drink the fish soup. Seeing that Li Junge was going to work again, he hurried to come over to shoot. Li Junge had no choice but to put down his bamboo hat and said, "Forget it, forget it, eat first, and I'll make it after you finish eating. Go for a stroll."

After walking along the stream for a few minutes, looking at the lush green mountains on both sides, I wondered when I could inspect the whole island.

After watching for a while, the two beards had finished eating, and they gave Li Junge a thumbs up with a smile, then picked up the camera and started shooting.

Li Junge took the bamboo hat shell, arranged the bamboo leaves, and pressed another shell on it. After sandwiching the two layers, he wove the bamboo strips together and locked the sides, and the two bamboo hats were completed.

At this time, A Yin got up, took out a roll of fiber from the basket, and said to Li Junge: "Erpi, look. I got a little numb in the morning, it's really numb!"

Li Junge rubbed and studied for a long time, then raised his head with a confused face: "I don't understand."

A Yin laughed so hard: "I don't understand, you still look at it for a long time! This hemp fiber is long, soft and thin, better than the hemp grown by my grandma."

Li Junge said: "Then this is unscientific? How can the wild species be better than the ones that have been screened for many years... Don't use goose egg gold to block my mouth!"

Ayin thought for a while: "What if it's not wild? What if someone planted it here a long time ago? Is it possible that this flat land was flattened by someone before? Could it be that someone was here before?" Have you ever lived? For example, when fishermen encounter storms and waves, they come here to escape or something..."

Li Junge stood up, looked around the grassland and the surrounding terrain, and said, "Ha, if this is the case, there may be other crops around, so have you found anything new in the past few days?"

Ayin thought for a while and said, "There is nothing too big to discover, but there is a plant that looks like castor bean, and it is distributed quite a lot..."

Li Junge shouted all of a sudden: "Castor? Wait...do you remember what they shouted before we set off?"

A Yin said: "What number are they calling, Bi Ma is coming... Wait, they are calling this Castor?!"

Li Junge also jumped up: "Then what you see may be cassava, which is a large crop in this country! They probably mean that cassava is like castor!"

A Yin opened his mouth wide: "Is that what you mean?"

Li Junge clapped his palms together: "Go and have a look and you'll know?!"

Ayin led Li Junge and ran to the back of the mountain. Li Junge said, "Wait, wait, wait until I get the bamboo shovel and the basket..."

Arriving at the back mountain, Ayin pointed to a plant and said to Li Junge: "Look! That's it!"

Li Junge made a black line on his forehead: "Ayin, how unfamiliar are you with castor bean? The leaves of castor bean are much wider than this, but the pole is somewhat similar. If Wu Zhiqiu and the others mean that, it is obvious that I will beat someone when I go back Misleading..."

A Yin snatched the wooden shovel: "Oh, you talk a lot of nonsense!"

Li Junge quickly snatched the shovel: "I'll come, I'll come, my good guy is recording a photo, I'm holding my hands next to you to see you digging, I guess I'll get beaten before I beat someone It's..."

I dug a circle along the root of the plant, and then gradually dug in. After a while, some red thick roots appeared in the soil, which looked like some long sweet potatoes.

"Oh!" Li Junge sped up his movements: "Oh, oh... This is simply a deaf man commanding a blind man, a blind cat meeting a dead mouse..."

Seeing such a big root, which looks like a sweet potato, Ah Yin was so happy that she didn't bother to argue with Li Junge: "Hahaha, we found cassava! There are so many on this island! Now you don't have to worry about food!"

Li Junge rolled his eyes and said, "Since I saw that lake, I have never been worried, okay? I only worry that I will get tired of eating fish..."

Ayin said: "Anyway, the starch problem is solved."

Li Junge said: "I can't eat it tonight. I heard that this thing must be hung up completely, sliced ​​and soaked, and cooked completely before it can be eaten..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the two beards maliciously, and whispered in Ayin's ear: "How about I cook a delicious meal for those two to taste first..."

Ah Yin bumped Li Junge with an elbow: "I said, why are you so bad! But my grandfather said that there is a kind of intoxicating potato in Shushan, which looks like a bush on the top and sweet potato on the bottom. I don't know if it's this..."

Li Junge said: "Did Grandpa Yu say how to deal with it?"

A Yin said: "What Grandpa said is similar to what you said. He said that if you put any poisonous tuber in the mountain spring for a few days, you will always eat it..."

Li Junge laughed loudly, and said: "Then follow this method, you can't be poor with a golden scorpion..."

However, he made up his mind in his heart that if there was any adverse reaction, he would really have to cheat with Lingquan water.

After cutting off all the cassava, Li Junge returned to the camp with a basket on his back.Ask A Yin to twist the hemp fiber in his hand into a hemp rope.

First take a piece of dry bamboo and process it yourself, leave a section at each end of the bamboo slice, remove a part in the middle to make a wide concave shape, and then press the knife edge in the middle of the concave bamboo slice, between the knife edge and the wide groove Leave a gap, tie the two ends with hemp rope, and the knife is transformed into a planer.

I picked up a piece of cassava and washed it clean for a try. The potato skin was scraped off.

Throwing a sawed tree stump into the basket as a cutting board, Li Junge smiled and said, "Yes, it works! Let's go, let's harvest the hemp and soak the cassava!"

When he came to the creek, A Yin had already washed out two bundles of retting hemp, rolled them into hemp balls and soaked them in clear water.

The manpower of the tools is limited, and only so much can be processed in a day, and the rest can be allowed to continue retting.

Li Junge came to a turbulent stream, washed the cassava and began to peel it.

After scraping off all the skins, leaving only the cassava core, Li Junge cut the cassava into thin slices on the cutting board and put them in the basket.

Fix the back basket on the creek rocks, soak half of it in the stream, a stream of clear water rushes directly into the back basket, and the cassava chips are thrown up and down in the back basket.

Then, carrying a sharp shoulder pole, he tied the hemp ball tied by A Yin and went back to the camp.

In the afternoon, Ayin boiled, soaked, tore and pounded hemp, while Li Junge went back to the beach to move the rest.

Seeing that Li Junge brought back all the discs for smashing saponin beans, Ayin laughed: "Erpi, you really like exercising, you even have to bring back the barbell plates."

Li Junge laughed loudly: "You can't underestimate this thing. After I grind the middle, it can be made into another tool."

Next, Li Junge continued to make pottery, and A Yin continued to process the hemp fibers and dry them.

Dinner was still taro fish soup. After dinner, Li Junge continued to make the upper part of the pottery, made a jar, and then made a rim around the edge of the jar, and made a bowl-shaped lid. When it was covered, it turned out to be a kimchi jar commonly used by Jiachuan people.

Ayin laughed again: "Erpi, can you be more reliable? Is kimchi what we need now?!"

Li Junge replied solemnly: "Of course! Don't eat acid for three days, and walk through it! This is what your Miao family said. Besides, I don't know if there are peppers, but Jiang Ke has collected a lot. As a Shuzhou native Get some sauerkraut and pickled ginger, and you will be looked down upon by Mr. Jin when you go back!"

A Yin was amused and giggled: "Okay, then I will wait to eat your pickled fish!"

After carrying the jar to the firepit to bake, Li Junge came back and started making tools.

Let's start with the simple one, first of all, there must be a tool that can get a straight line, the ink fountain.

He took out a bamboo tube and turned the eye on it, ready to use it to hold ink, and the eye to run the ink line.

Saw a few pieces of wood, and the chisel chiseled out tenon and tenon joints, and knocked them together to make a wooden box.

Drill a hole at the back of the wooden box, scrape a round stick through it, and ensure that the round stick can rotate freely.

Open a slit at one end, clamp the hemp rope and wrap it around a few times, and put some gum on it as a clip.

Choose another rectangular piece of wood, turn out a hole at each end, apply gum to one hole, and knock the wooden stick on the ink fountain into the hole to fix it.

Then I found a round stick and put it into another hole, and the handle of the ink fountain was completed.

Place the bamboo tube in front of the wooden box and fix it, and an ink fountain combined with bamboo and wood appears in front of you.
