Chapter 483 Giant Bamboo Shoots
Chapter 480: Giant Bamboo Shoots

Carrying the bamboo rat and walking back, I suddenly found a small crack on the ground.

"Damn it! The tropics are great! It's only September, right? Are the bamboo shoots starting to sprout?"

Find a piece of dry bamboo and dig around the small crack.

The more you dig, the more frightening you get, the more you dig, the more surprised you are, how big are the bamboo shoots below!

Li Junge didn't know what the bamboo material in this forest was, but the bamboo poles were much thicker than moso bamboo, and the bamboo with a diameter of [-] centimeters could be as big as the bamboo shoots underneath.

After digging down to a depth of less than one meter, Li Junge finally found the root.

I found a few plantain leaves to wrap the bamboo shoots, and then twisted the bamboo shoots off.

The hair on bamboo is not forgiving.

Holding the bamboo shoots in his hands, Li Junge was dumbfounded: "Damn it! This, this must weigh more than ten catties!"

This cow is so big, Li Junge can guarantee that Ayin has never seen such a big bamboo shoot. He wrapped the bamboo shoot with a big plantain leaf, tied the bamboo thread on the front and back, carried it on his shoulder, and ran to the camp with the bamboo rat.

A Yin was making breakfast, and was pouring small cassava dumplings into the cold water. When he saw Li Junge coming back with a big green package, he said in surprise, "Erpi, you brought back a bunch of bananas? Why did you get covered in mud?"

Li Junge put the leaves down on the bamboo table, and said, "Ayin, come here quickly, and I will show you a rare thing."

Opening the package, Ayin was also startled: "Such a big bamboo shoot! Can you still eat it?"

Li Junge said: "Don't look so big, it hasn't been unearthed yet! It's the same nature as the winter bamboo shoots in my hometown!"

When the shell of the bamboo shoot was removed, a large bamboo shoot with the same shape as a moso bamboo shoot was placed in front of him, but this moso bamboo shoot was incomparable. After the shell was removed, it still weighed at least ten catties.

Li Junge used a machete to compare the proportions of the tips of the moso bamboo shoots, and took off the tip of the big bamboo shoot, and then lightly peeled off a piece from the bottom, chewed it in his mouth, spit it out, and couldn't stop laughing: "Sweet! Emma Jin will be jealous of me now, hahahaha, the tip of the bamboo shoot is bigger than the whole moso bamboo shoot!"

Process it quickly, the sooner this thing is processed, the fresher it will be.

Cut the bamboo shoot tips into slices, throw them into the boiling water and boil them, remove them and soak them in cold water, leave a part to stir-fry on a plate, sprinkle with a few green onions, and serve as part of breakfast.

Cut the remaining middle part into pieces with a hob and stew it. After cooking, soak it in cold water. This is the part where the bamboo rat is roasted at noon.

Most of the bottom at the end, cut into strips, open the sauerkraut jar, take out the taro stalk, put the bamboo shoots under it, then put the taro stalk on top, laughing like a flower: "The sauerkraut jar It’s full now, hahahaha, one bamboo shoot can soak a pot, who would believe this if Lijiagou is used as a dragon gate array!”

After finishing the work, he picked up the bamboo rat and said to A Yin: "You haven't seen this yet! Braised bamboo rat with bamboo shoots at noon today!"

A Yin also regretted: "It's just rice. After eating, pour the rice with soup, how delicious it is..."

After three or two mouthfuls of the papaya and coconut juice pearl dew made by A Yin, Li Junge began to deal with the bamboo rats.

Originally, the bamboo mouse skin could be used in a big way, but Li Junge’s opinion was the same as that of the stripper. It would be a pity to use it as fur, and the correct way to open it is to burn the skin.

Scalding, shaving, disemboweling, and picking up the bamboo rat, the face of the bearded man twitched.

Li Junge rolled his eyes, your baby will twitch later, it smells so good that your nose twitches!If you have the ability, you can resist not eating!
Soak the rat meat with skin in warm water, squeeze the bloody water, and change it several times in the middle, until the water is no longer red and the flesh color starts to turn pink, then put the last pot of warm water in it to soak.

After Ah Yin had finished eating and washed the dishes, the two began to make thread.

Because the time for drying paint must be uninterrupted, the threading time is adjusted to morning and evening.

Then Li Junge took the sesame oil that had floated up to the top of the oil basin overnight into the oil bowl.

The ones that can’t be scooped up in the end are not impossible. Use four fingers to wipe the oil surface lightly, stand up to shake the water drops back, put the four fingers together on the edge of the oil bowl and scrape, and the residual oil on your hands will go in. .

In the old days, the granule returning to the warehouse was really done to the extreme. Li Junge has seen his grandma do it many times, and he has learned these little life experiences.

A total of one catty of sesame oil was obtained.

Today is a good start and everything is going well. Li Junge is going to take advantage of this opportunity to make something that he has wanted to make for a long time.

Take it out from the tail of the stove and keep it for the longest time. Pick the best piece of hardwood and put it on the woodworking table.

Li Junge used this kind of wood to make wooden spears. It has good elasticity and hard texture, which is very similar to rock mulberry.

The wood was split by a small tree. The whole body has no knots or scars, and the material is straight. It has been dried for more than ten days, and it has been roasted for the past few days. Today is the time to use it.

First, a piece of bamboo is nailed on the woodworking table, with the bamboo skin facing down and the bamboo meat facing up.

Level the wood in the depression, use the ink fountain to pop the ink line on it, and use the saw to remove the excess on both sides.

Then the two ends were removed, leaving a piece more than one meter long, three fingers wide, and three fingers thick.

The side with the belt arc is kept, and the other three sides are planed.

Then take out two screws and make them into two pointed iron nails, and bend them into [-] degrees in the middle.

Put the wood horizontally and knock it on the nails to fix it. Li Junge began to measure on the large plane with a ruler and an ink fountain on it, and snapped the thread.

After the line is played, a long and narrow rhombus with a length of more than one meter appears on the plane. In the middle is a word "目". The upper and lower sides of the word "目" are wider than the palm. The four points where the two horizontal lines intersect in the middle of the word Hemu are also drawn on the line.

In this way, a figure appears on the wooden board, remove the periphery, and leave the middle part, which is a bow embryo with a handle.

Next, use a machete to trim out a large rhombus, and then planed on all sides. Now the wood has become a model of a racing boat.

Then leave the middle thick, and the bark does not move, and thin the wood flesh from the middle to the two sides.

This has to be done slowly, not only must the two sides be symmetrical, but also maintain the bow strength as much as possible.

There should also be enough height for the two points to be used for punching, opening, and winding.

After finishing these, Li Junge started to make braised bamboo rats.

Some time ago, Ayin collected a lot of star anise, and Li Junge scooped up the bamboo rat meat, wrapped it with papaya pulp and tapioca flour pulp, and drained the oil.

Papaya is very sweet, which can be regarded as sugar-colored at the same time.

Then pour off the remaining oil, leave a little more in the pot, add meat, boiling water, star anise, cover and simmer.

After the bamboo rats were stewed, Li Junge continued to process the bow embryos.

The inner surface of the bow arm is processed to a large size, and the string holes are opened at both ends, the hemp rope is hung upside down, and the inner side of the bow arm is exposed to form an outer arc, and it is planed on a planer until it is smooth.

For those parts that cannot be planed, use a wooden square to make a sand file in the same way as bark sandpaper, and polish the bow arm to shape, and finally hold the sand with your hands to smooth the bow arm everywhere.

After finishing these, remove the hemp rope, straighten the bow embryo, and the bamboo rat meat is also stewed. Li Junge began to add bamboo shoots and salt to it.

As soon as the lid was lifted, the bearded man's nose started to twitch. The taste is so delicious!

Without rice, Li Junge just made a dough with tapioca flour, spread it thin and fried it into pancakes.

Wait until half of the stewed bamboo rat juice is received, add chopped green onion and some lemon cornel coriander and let it out of the pan.

Cut the cake into slices, took three pieces and put them on the plate, and scooped up a bowl of bamboo rat meat, and asked the big beard to serve the little beard first.

I also left a bowl for him, and he and A Yin ate the rest.

This meal is so delicious, crispy pancakes, fresh and sweet bamboo shoots, tender and fragrant rat meat, no less than any meal in Lijiagou.

The bearded man no longer cared about his modesty and professional ethics, so he put the camera on a tripod to shoot Li Junge and A Yin, and went to the other side with the plate and mustache.

Ayin took a bite of the pancake, which was crispy and turned into slag, and it made a crackling sound as soon as he chewed it. Then he picked a piece of rat meat and put it in his mouth. He was pleasantly surprised: "Wow! This rat meat is delicious and tender! It is better than the bamboo rat in Lijiagou. So delicate!"

Li Junge said: "I also discovered that there is probably one kind of cassava flour and papaya pulp that can make the meat more tender. Unfortunately, there is no meat, and it will be tested next time."

Ayin shook his head and said: "The pancakes are crispy and delicious when eaten alone, and the thicker part in the middle is dipped in soup, the taste is really rich..."

Li Junge picked up a piece of bamboo shoots and said: "This one is fresh and sweet. It's not as good as vegetables with meat. The bamboo shoots cooked in thick oil are delicious!"

All four of them enjoyed this meal, with plenty of oil and rich flavor, which is the top delicacy in the mountains and forests.

After dinner, Li Junge asked Ayin to take a nap, and he dried the paint and weaving instead of her.

When A Yin got up to take over, Li Junge continued to deal with the bow embryo.

Take a machete to process the grip part, carefully trim the shape, and sand it out with the same sandpaper.

Visit the processed bow embryo on the woodworking table, squat down and take a look.

Except that the handshake in the middle is two fingers wide and three fingers thick, the bases of the bow arms on both sides are three fingers wide and two fingers thick, and then gradually close to the bow to two fingers wide and one and a half fingers thick.

Even and symmetrical, there are still two and a half peach leaf-sized protrusions on the bow, with two holes on each of them, but no slots have been made yet.

The texture of the hardwood is very delicate, the brown eyes are dense, and it is almost invisible to the naked eye.Li Junge took the hemp belt and ground it finely for the last time, and the surface of the wood and flesh began to shine, as if it had been waxed in the end.

Now the wood grain and wood color are more obvious, and the brown-yellow bow embryo is suddenly beautiful.

Li Junge boiled some isinglass, scraped off the bark side of the bow embryo, and polished it with the same sandpaper, took a piece of dry bamboo skin, glued it on with fish glue, trimmed the rough shape, and tightened the bow embryo with a fine hemp rope Tie up tightly.

Take the bow embryos to the back of the stove for low-temperature baking, and more than half of the afternoon has passed.

Li Junge started a day's routine work, washing baskets by the stream again, adding cassava chips, washing hemp, carrying water, soaking in alkaline water by the way, and bringing back the baskets of hemp flocs and bamboo shreds that he washed for another day.

After putting away the paint, Ayin weaved another three-meter-long tape.

Then the two began to dry the hemp, A Yin cooked, and Li Junge went to prepare for the night's work.

　Secretly post a plus update, I wish everyone auspicious Year of the Dog, hahahaha!
