The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 55 Soymilk Purification Method

After the transaction was completed, Chenbei and the others did not stay in the tree tribe for long. It was too risky to spend the night in an unfamiliar tribe.

Even if they have just happily completed the transaction, it does not mean that the two parties have become close friends.

"Moo!"

The Rhino King roared, and left the Tree Tribe with other rhinos and people from the Mang Tribe.

"Chief Chen, welcome to trade again next time!"

The leader of the tree tribe waved his hand with a sincere smile on his face.

"Okay, I will definitely bring more goods next time."

Chen Bei also waved to the leader of the tree tribe, then turned and left.

After the mang tribe left, the leader of the tree tribe lowered his arms.

Finally, Hongye couldn't help asking: "Boss, why do we use so many things to exchange for smoked fish and smoked meat?"

"That thing is black and looks worse than jerky."

Hongye didn't understand this very much, and neither did the rest of the tribe, but they didn't dare to refute what the leader decided, so they could only follow through.

"What do you know, can I do things that lose money?"

The leader of the tree tribe whispered in Hongye's ear: "There is salt in those meats, a lot of salt."

"what?"

Hongye almost yelled, the leader of the tree tribe slapped him on the head angrily, and said, "Slow down, do you want to yell so that the whole tribe knows?"

Hongye hurriedly covered her mouth, and after a long time, said in a low voice: "Where did this Mang tribe come from? I've never heard of it before. It can't be a big tribe from other places, right?"

The leader of the tree tribe said: "It doesn't matter what tribe they are, as long as they don't have bad intentions for our tree tribe, trading with them is much better than trading with the eagle tribe."

Hong Ye nodded, and said, "That's right, the Diao tribe is too deceitful, and things are extremely expensive to sell."

The leader of the tree tribe said: "Put the meat away and cook it in a large pot. Cook it every few days for all the people in the tribe to eat, especially the children. They won't grow up without salt."

"Yes, chief, I'll do it now."

After Hongye left, the leader of the tree tribe sat on a huge tree root, looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Besides, Chenbei, on the way back, the speed was obviously much slower, because it was autumn now, most of the fruits of the plants were ripe, and they would stop to pick some good things along the way.

At this time, the role of white grass is manifested. She collects all kinds of plant fruits all year round, and knows a lot of things. You can basically know what you can eat and what you can't eat at a glance.

Between several large rocks, Baicao found another plant, which was a garlic-like plant with large and thick leaves, and white garlic-shaped tubers underneath, the big ones were as big as a fist.

Chen Bei walked over and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Baicao raised her head and replied: "Boss, this is one of the herbs that the witch will find. It is called Lycoris, which usually grows in the crevices of stones. It is said that it can be used to detoxify."

Chen Bei looked at it and said, "Can it be eaten as food?"

There is no garlic in Chenbei's spices, so seeing that this thing is similar to garlic, the first concern is whether it can be eaten.

"This... I don't know, why don't you go back and ask Wu for advice."

Chen Bei nodded, since it was the herb that Qingzhu was looking for, she must know it well, just go back and ask.

In this way, Chen Bei and others stopped and went, during which time they collected a lot of herbs, fruits, and some edible vegetables with planting value.

After five days, they finally returned to the tribe.

After returning to the tribe, first of all, he properly arranged the things obtained from the trade, and then, Chen Bei couldn't wait to ask Qing Zhu if the several herbs collected could be boiled and eaten directly as spices.

"It can't be eaten directly, it's poisonous, it's for external application."

Qingzhu ruthlessly broke Chenbei's sweet dream of replenishing spices.

"Okay, I see." Chen Bei was a little disappointed, and planned to go back and cook something to comfort himself.

"Boss, wait a minute."

Qing Zhu hurried to the yard, dug out a handful of grass-like plants with a small stone hoe, and brought them to Chen Bei.

"Boss, this herb is called chives. It has a strong fragrance and can be cooked and eaten."

"Chinese chives?"

Chen Bei took this grass-like plant in surprise, smelled it, and said, "That's right, it's really leeks! Great, it just so happens that colorful pheasants have started laying eggs recently, and you can fry eggs to eat."

Qingzhu smiled and said: "The leader can eat whatever he likes."

"Thank you Wu, when it's ready, I'll send a copy for you to try."

After Chen Bei finished speaking, he went back with a happy face. He couldn't wait to taste the taste of scrambled eggs with leeks.

It's a pity that I don't have a suitable wok, but it's the same for frying and eating.

Qing Zhu looked at Chen Bei's back, smiled, and returned to the house to continue with her own business.

The leader loves to eat and likes to try various foods. This is known to the whole tribe. As a neighbor, Qingzhu also eats the food made by Chenbei, so she pays attention to things like leeks.

In the evening of that day, Chenbei really brought a plate of fried eggs with leeks to share with the green bamboo. The leeks and eggs had a unique aroma, and the fried eggs of the colorful pheasant were also relatively tender. The green bamboo was very good for this dish satisfy.

In the middle of the second month of autumn, soybeans were harvested in the vegetable field.

The soybeans were collected last autumn. They were planted for one season this spring, and harvested once they matured. Then most of the soybeans were planted again. Now it is the second season of soybeans this year.

Chenbei is more concerned about soybeans, because soybeans are rich in protein and soybean oil, and they are a good food.

The other one is about the purification of salt.

Previously, the salt of the Mang tribe was only filtered, and the water-soluble impurities could not be removed.

But it’s different after having soybeans. After the soybeans are ground into soy milk, put them into boiled salt water, which can absorb the impurities in the salt water, so that you can get a salt with a mellow taste, which is also a good salt in the true sense. .

So after the soybean harvest, Chenbei asked people to dry the soybeans, and on the other hand, he found a stone tool maker and asked him to help build a small stone mill, which could be used to grind soybean milk.

The structure of the stone mill is not complicated. Chen Bei was a child in the countryside in his previous life, so he used it a lot.

So he explained the structure of the stone mill to the stone tool master in detail, and even used charcoal to draw the grain of the stone mill on the wooden board to ensure that the stone tool master could understand it.

A stone tool master deserves to be a stone tool master. This kind of simple stone tool is easy to understand, and he made it very seriously.

After the soybeans were dried, the small stone mill Chenbei needed was perfectly polished.

Chenbei used a wooden barrel to soak the soybeans in water, and then put them into a stone mill to grind them.

After grinding, the soybeans turned into fine soybean milk. Chen Bei cleaned the stone pot and boiled the soybean milk.

"call……"

Chen Bei scooped the boiled soybean milk into a bowl, blew on the hot air on it, added a little salt, and took a sip. The familiar taste almost made him cry.

"It would be nice if there was sugar."

Chen Bei misses the taste of soy milk with sugar, but now that the conditions are limited, it would be nice to be able to add salt.

After drinking the soy milk, he dissolved a large pot of salt in a clean bucket, and then started boiling salt water in a salt pot.

"Grumbling..."

After the salt water boiled, Chen Bei added two spoonfuls of soy milk into it.

As time goes by, the soymilk in the brine begins to coagulate and absorb impurities in the brine.

Chen Bei used a spoon to scoop away the bean curd that had absorbed impurities, it was inedible.

After repeating this two or three times, there are very few impurities in the brine except salt.

When the water in the pot became less and less, white salt crystals began to appear on the side of the pot, Chen Bei scooped up these crystals, pinched a little and put them in his mouth.

"Sure enough, the bitter taste disappeared!"

In the past, the salt always had a bit of a bitter taste because it was not pure enough. Now, after the absorption of soy milk, the impurities have basically been removed, and the bitter taste has naturally disappeared.

Such salt is considered pure salt.
