Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 513
Chapter 510

It's really a skinny shrimp, Li Junge reached out to grab it, and then shook it away: "Damn! Stuck!"

The two happily chased Pippi Shrimp on the tidal flat like this, and it took a long time before they managed to find a way to catch Pippi Shrimp.

Li Junge laughed loudly: "This is another breeding base. I only know salt and pepper shrimp. What flavor have you ever eaten, Ayin?"

A Yin laughed and said, "This is only one! You just think about what to do!"

Li Junge said: "The virtue of eel is not easy to catch? It's a pity that there are only net bags and linen backpacks. How about we use your backpack?"

Ayin was not happy: "No! It's so hard to wash when you go back! If you don't need your T-shirt, you don't care anyway!"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "Forget it, they can't escape here anyway, let's come back tomorrow! Are you going to go home and take a nap or take a nap here?"

Ayin looked at the coconut grove on the beach in the distance, sighed and said: "Let's go home, we have to clean up seaweed and sea cabbage, don't we still need to study how to make bread and jam?"

Throwing the Pippi shrimp back to the tidal flat, the two washed their hands and feet and returned to the bottom of the coconut grove.

A soft mat was spread out, two coconuts were opened, A Yin took out the biscuits, and the two began to eat.

According to A Yin's instructions, starting today, I started to adjust my diet, changing from three meals a day to two meals a day, and the girl began to feel pressure to lose weight.

In the old days, rural people in Jiachuan often lived like this. They got up in the morning to do a row of chores, and then had lunch a little earlier. Li Junge naturally had no objection.

After this breakfast, the two walked slowly, collecting fruits and vegetables, and went home all the way.

It was almost noon when we got home, Li Junge asked A Yin to rest, and started feeding quail, cleaning sea cabbage, drying seaweed, tidying up the vegetable garden, and watering the flowers.

The current dam is cleaned every day by Li Junge and Ayin. Li Junge has paved a stone path between the new house and the milling trough. Li Junge is cutting bamboo again, preparing to build a gazebo next to the milling trough when he has time. , it can not only store the odds and ends around the milling tank, but also watch the lake view and do some small handicrafts inside.

First process the fruit, cut the picked fruit with wine flavor and durian flavor into small pieces and knead it into a pulp, then chop the picked strange loquat, mix it with water, take a kimchi jar, and use it The boiling water was scalded repeatedly, and then these things were poured in. When it was almost full, the lid was closed, and water was added to the edge of the mouth to isolate the air.

In this way, the air cannot go in, and the gas produced by the fermentation of the pulp can escape from the underwater side of the lid by opening the lid, and an oxygen-free fermentation environment is obtained in the cylinder.

Yeast decomposes sugars into carbon dioxide and water in an oxygen-free environment, and produces carbon dioxide and alcohol in an oxygen-free environment.

This matter is not sure, such as other bacterial infection, such as the climate is not suitable for the growth of yeast, such as too much oxygen mixed into the juice, all of which will lead to the failure of winemaking.

What Li Junge can do is to minimize the possibility of failure. After finishing the personnel affairs, the rest is God's will.

After taking a stone and pressing it on top of the lid, Li Junge took out the four pieces of hardwood behind the stove, picked two pieces he was satisfied with, and prepared to make a bow.

Because the wood is baked, it is now slightly bent towards the bark side. This is exactly the shape Li Junge hopes to obtain. The bow made according to this shape is not only a one-piece bow, but also a recurve bow. It is shorter than ordinary bows. Under the circumstances, the strength is not weak but strong.

The next step is to cut with a machete and a saw, and then install the knife on a planer to smooth the bow body.

The bow point is no longer punched, but two chutes are opened on each side of the point for hanging strings.

Hang the strings, carefully check the radians of the upper and lower bow arms, and then fine-tune them with a knife planer to ensure that the upper and lower bow arms bear the same force and are uniform.

Until everything is satisfactory, the edges and corners are sanded with a stick file and bark sandpaper, polished with burlap, and finally coconut oil is applied.

At this time, Ah Yin had already gotten up. Looking at the courtyard that had been tidied up by Li Junge, he saw that Li Junge was sitting cross-legged on a futon making a bow. Leave it to me to do it, I have been fattened by you..."

Li Junge patted her little hand and said: "Whoever has time can do it. Don't think that you will be fine after finishing these. Today is another big day, and it's time to smoke the meat!"

Ayin asked in surprise, "Don't you have to marinate for two weeks?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "It depends on the weather. Both Lijiagou and Xuantianzhai kill pigs in winter. It is no problem to soak them in salt water for a week or two. But now that the weather is so strong, if you don't remove the moisture from the meat as soon as possible, the meat will still be rotten." It will rot, I am afraid that the salt will not be able to withstand it, so I cut the meat into small pieces, so that the salt can be added before the bacteria multiply, and it does not take a long time."

A Yin smiled and said, "Well, you are always more flexible than me in doing things."

Li Junge said with a smile: "If a mountain runner can't learn how to be flexible, he will go to the mountain nine times out of ten to seek abuse."

A Yin laughed and said, "I'm not ashamed, Uncle Erhu never recognized you as a mountain runner."

Li Junge laughed and said: "He himself has started to be unorthodox, but he has the nerve to call me. Now he follows Weiwei, and pops up new words from time to time, sometimes it is species investigation, and sometimes it is resource protection... Hahahaha, this is The new incision of the mountain runner?"

The two laughed, and began to hang meat on the pyramid bamboo racks and set up a smoker's shed. Ayin found herbs and started to smoke bacon and sausages.

Li Junge didn't intend to waste the blood left after marinating the bacon, so he poured the blood into the pot and stirred it to boil.

When the blood was boiled dry, Li Junge switched to a high fire and stir-fried with a bamboo shovel to completely carbonize the organic matter in the blood to obtain gray salt.

Then add water again to adjust the gray salt into brine. After filtering out most of the impurities with brown silk, it is still the siphon method, using two water basins and a linen belt to extract the pure brine.

But it took a long time. After putting the things back together, Li Junge started to process the pigskin again.

Take the pigskin out of the thenardite water and stretch it out, the pigskin is already full of the thenardite.

This is the last time, and the pigskin will be ready to use when it is dried and processed tomorrow.

Then Li Junge began to collect the upper mud from the four bamboo troughs beside the stove into a jar, and put them together with the middle mud and lower mud.

Next, take the lime paste that has been aging since the earliest salt production, put it in a tank, add water and stir it, let it stand for a while, then take out the top layer of suspension and pour it into the sink next to the stove. Hang a strip of cloth to use the siphon phenomenon to get water, ready to extract the most delicate lime paste.

After everything was done, Li Junge began to take out the clay to make a pottery bowl.

The pottery bowl also has a lid, which has air holes and is not intentionally thin. It has an inner diameter of 25 centimeters, a low cylindrical shape, and a height of ten centimeters. Six of them can be stacked in a pottery kiln at a time.

Now the tools are very complete, and Li Junge made nine embryos in a short time.

He also put thick ears on the pottery bowls, took burning charcoal from the stove and baked the pottery bowls under the pottery table, and Li Junge started to cook dinner.

In the past few days, I have collected a lot of peppers. Except for some that were thrown into the kimchi jar earlier, the rest are ground into powder, and now there are two taels.

Put all the chili powder in a clay pot, add an anise, a few spice stalks, a few dried spice leaves, pour a large spoonful of hot oil into it, and stir it evenly with a small bamboo spoon. This is a jar of fried chili.

Dinner is cassava pot helmet, bone soup, fried mushrooms with water, sea cabbage mixed with red oil, except that there is no rice, this life is actually no different from Lijiagou.

After dinner, Li Junge made two shelves, got two futons to put on them, put them thirty steps away, and said to A Yin, "A Yin, I made you a bow. Come, let's play archery."

Ayin tied the bow, looked at the fine wood grains on it, and said, "The wood of this bow is really fine, and the brown eye is thinner than the rock mulberry in the village."

Li Junge said: "Not only are they thin, but the brown eyes seem to be filled with something, and they are shining golden in the sun."

A Yin adjusted the angle of the bow in the setting sun: "Ah, really! If Uncle A Chong sees this wood, I don't know how happy he will be!"

These two bows are only two and a half fingers wide, and the bow arms are also thinner. Li Junge tried the pulling force, and it was about 20 catties.

It is really a weapon, and it can also deal with the rest of the guys on the island except wild boars.

He took a bunch of chopstick-thick round bamboo sticks and cut them into arrows. He sharpened one end, then lightly carbonized the pointed end on the fire, slotted the tail, and said, "Come on, let's practice!"

The next step is to adjust, first touch the thighs to teach standing, then touch the waist to teach the angle of twisting the waist, well, the posture of the hips is not right, you need to touch the crotch to adjust, yes, then hold hands to teach the bow, face Face-to-face teaching aiming...

Ayin is obediently at his mercy, this situation is beyond all eclectic.

When Li Junge brazenly buried his nose in A Yin's hair, A Yin finally blushed, although his eyes were on the target, his mouth was gritted and he whispered: "Bad boy! He will take advantage of me..."

Li Junge looked like a pig, and murmured lewdly: "Don't make trouble, it's fun to teach..."

Ah Yin couldn't bear these words, she couldn't help but her body softened, her fingers loosened, and the arrow flew to nowhere.

Then Li Junge was kicked aside, and he was only allowed to watch the demonstration, and he was not allowed to come closer to him.

Then the two started to shoot you with an arrow, and I shot with an arrow, getting serious.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the sound of "boom-pop" and "boom-pop" was endless, and A Yin's pleasantly surprised laughter sounded from time to time.

The two practiced for half an hour. Li Junge untie the bow, took out coconut oil to maintain it carefully, and put it on the back stove to dry it.

The two sat on the bamboo chair to rest. Li Junge made flower and fruit tea for Ayin and dendrobium tea for himself, set up the chessboard, and started to play chess.

Ayin fell down, and smiled at Li Junge: "Er Pi, you really know how to play, this archery is more fun than flower crossbow."

Li Junge also took a step forward and said, "Really? By the way, you don't seem to play bows very much."

A Yin said: "The bow is inconvenient to carry in Bifeng Mountain, it is too long. But the bow has a much longer range than the crossbow. Isn't there an idiom called Baibu Yang?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "To reach that level, it is a whole system engineering. That is to say, everything must be standardized, the bow force is constant in various situations, and then the arrow length, weight, thickness, center of gravity, tail feather size, feather The category, the length of the arrow, must be accurate, otherwise even the best archer will be blinded, and there is no way to practice..."
