Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 514

Chapter 510
A Yin said: "That's right, you haven't made tail feathers for my arrow yet! Shall we go climbing cliffs tomorrow to find feathers?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Hahaha, Ayin, it seems that you are not looking for a bird's nest. The bird's nest is full of fluff, how can there be feathers that can be used as arrow feathers? But there are many methods, or your family's ancestors, as recorded in ancient books The Miao and Dong crossbow arrows use palm leaves as tail feathers, and these things are flooded on the island, so just replace them as they go, don’t be too simple.”

The two chatted while playing chess like this. After five games, the break ended and they began to pack the bacon and smoked sausage.

The smoking shed was opened, and Li Junge couldn't stand the smell: "It's so fragrant! Let's eat Zhuerba tomorrow morning!"

A Yin laughed and said, "Okay! It's still transparent, and it must look better than Lijiagou Zhuerba!"

Li Junge cut out a bunch of bamboo hooks, tied the handles with hemp rope, took bamboo poles and put them on one by one, then hung the palm leaves tied with flesh on the bamboo hooks, and sent the bamboo poles to the beam above the stove to set them up horizontally .

Rows of oily smoke-colored bacon sausages were hanging gently above the stove, and Ayin clapped her hands below and applauded: "It really feels like a Chinese New Year..."

Li Junge is also very satisfied: "Bacon, cured sausage, pig face and tail, pork liver and pork belly, but unfortunately there is no skin. I like bacon skin the most..."

A Yin rolled his eyes at him: "Oh, I'm being picky, don't I still have two hind legs with skin! Those skins are not enough for you to chew on!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "I never tire of food, I don't tire of fine food, as a Confucianist, I never forget..."

A Yin laughed and said: "Wipe off your saliva before saying this, you don't look like a master's heir, but rather like a disciple of Mr. Jin!"

Originally, Ayin planned to make tamarind sauce today, but Li Junge's bow and arrow got him interested. He took hemp rope and beeswax and changed it to wrap the handle of the bow.Let Li Junge do the job of boiling tamarind sauce.

Seeing A Yin rubbing the hemp rope with great interest, Li Junge shook his head: "Isn't this reversed?"

Ayin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I still have to make bow practice gloves later."

Only then did Li Junge think of it, and said, "Then you need to make an arm guard, so that the bowstring won't hit your arm."

Ayin said: "Well, this is simple, just sew a fan-shaped bag and insert dried bamboo skins, and wrap it around the forearm to solve the problem."

Li Junge smiled and said, "Then I'll make you a quiver tomorrow out of pigskin. This is the contemporary Mulan..."

While peeling the sour horns, he peeked at A Yin.

A Yin has been working frequently for more than a month. She is in a happy mood, has simple thoughts, and eats properly. Now she looks healthier and more attractive, her complexion is ruddy, and her figure is more plump than in Lijiagou.

Li Junge felt like a cat scratching his heart.

The gentleman's six arts are rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Ayin and I respect each other as guests, and this is a gift; Ayin can play the flute and sing, and there is music; there are three bows at home, one big, two small, and three bows, and shooting is no problem; pens, inks, papers and inkstones are all available, plus some manuscripts, Books are barely plausible; playing chess, making furniture and pottery, these are related to numbers; it is this rouge pony, I don’t know when and what month it will be able to win...

Stirring the sour horn meat stewed in the pot with bamboo sticks, thinking about the days after he and A Yin are married, Li Junge has long been out of his mind, and I don't know what time it is...

in the program.

Bell: "Life is relatively simple for the teams today, but it's obvious that they're laughing more than ever."

Lu En: "The pressure of survival has been relieved, and the true feelings between husband and wife have begun to show. After more than a month of running-in, the feelings between the remaining teams have deepened. Today is a sweet day. And coincidentally Yes, today's teams' careers are also related to sweetness..."

Nian: "Today is another day for dog abuse..."

Bell: "The Russian team finally harvested in the jungle today. Although it was only on the edge, they found a piece of jicama. The roots of jicama are very sweet."

Lune: "The Argentinian team found purple potatoes, my goodness, they finally got a vegetable! Passarella made this soup of roasted dried purple potatoes and purple potato leaves so sweet for Laura , her husband’s love made her shed tears of emotion.”

Bell: "This team has the most abundant food, but the problem is that the food sources and processing methods are too single, lack of protein and fat intake, the two of them have lost a lot of weight, I hope they will continue to persist, the remaining days are not many ..."

Bell: "Is today Valentine's Day? Kewell boiled a kind of seaweed into a gel, mixed with petals, coconut meat and diced fruit, put it in a bamboo tube to condense and took it out to make a kind of jelly. What's more rare is , he did all of this behind Sally's back, and dedicated it to Sally under the coconut grove and sunset... Ah! Sally threw Kewell down, and the two couldn't help but kissed together passionately! Australian girl It was so full of energy and enthusiasm…”

Nian: "..."

Luen: "Danny dug out a kind of food from the water plants, which has sweet roots. Seeing Tanya's expression, he was very satisfied. This thing is like the relationship between these two people. It is sweet and meaningful. The two share joys and sorrows. , Mutual help and mutual understanding, this is currently the audience's favorite pair besides the Chinese team."

Bell: "That's water chestnuts, but I hope that while sharing the sweetness, we should also pay attention to hygiene. The food dug out of the mud of the freshwater lake should be cleaned and scalded with boiling water to kill bacteria and parasites." ..."

Lun: "Uh, Bell, you made everyone play instantly..."

Nian: "Really..."

Lu En: "By the way, there is a situation we need to explain."

Bell: "I received a lot of feedback from the audience, asking whether it is appropriate for the Chinese team to invite outsiders to join the banquet on the day of hunting wild boars."

Lu En: "After many investigations by the program team, this is a custom in the hometown of Jungle and Ingris. After the harvest, they will slaughter livestock and poultry, make exquisite meals, invite neighbors and friends to visit, and share the hard-earned food together. .”

Bell: "Out of respect for the ethnic customs of various countries, and all the food sources are obtained by the participating teams themselves, without the help of outsiders, we believe that the approach of the Chinese team and the photographer team is appropriate and there is no problem."

Luen: "This also just shows the warmth and hospitality of this nation."

Bell: "One of the highlights of this show is that it shows us the differences in personalities of different nations, such as the bravery of Russia, the romance of France, the tenacity of the United States, the elegance of Britain, the resignation of Argentina, Australia's love for the ocean, and South Africa's closeness to nature. ..."

Lu En: "We didn't know much about China before, and many Westerners often felt it was mysterious. But Jungle and Ingris perfectly showed us the charm of China and the charm of the Chinese people in the show."

"They are a combination of classical and modern, art and engineering; calm but brave, flexible but strong, hardworking but wise..."

Bell: "I have a very strong interest in their food. Thanks to the two photographers, who paved the way for us to eat on the island in the later shows..."

Luen: "Beibel, it's good to rest assured, there is no need to say it. Hahaha... But today's performance of the Chinese team compared to other teams can only give a moderate evaluation. The magician did not continue to cast magic, But the goddess did not continue to sway music and moonlight..."

Bell: "It seems that our requirements for the Chinese team are becoming more and more demanding. Two perfect wooden bows, dozens of kilograms of bacon and sausages, and Jungle's technique of obtaining baking soda, the method of recycling table salt, and a sumptuous and perfect dinner. Are these not desert island miracles?"

Lune: "This... well, we're all used to it... Besides, Ingris seems to be more interested in sports than music. Tonight, he has been winding hemp rope around bows, making gloves and armguards for himself..."

Bell: "And Jungle also made a few big and useless pottery bowls, don't they have less pottery?"

Lu En: "Generally speaking, the only highlight of the Chinese team today is probably the part where Jungle taught Ingris archery. It's really terrible..."

Bell: "But Ingris quickly stopped Jungle's inappropriate behavior. Well, it must be stopped, which I support..."

Lu En: "Hey, why Nian seems to be very quiet today, this is not the style of a gold medal host..."

Nian: "I'm not a gold medal host, I'm just a single dog who has been brutally abused repeatedly...I've decided! Muster up the courage to call my goddess tonight and ask her out for dinner..."

……

After boiling the sour horn sauce, he found a jar to put it in. Li Junge took out dried cassava, dried bamboo shoots, and dried mushrooms, and soaked them in boiling water for fermentation.

Then take a strip of bacon and finely chop it into fine pieces. This is the material for making Zhuerbai tomorrow morning.

Thinking that baking soda is not enough for Ayin to make bread, but also yeast, Li Junge scalded a ball of cassava flour dough, kneaded an alcohol-flavored fruit into a sauce, kneaded it with some honey, and covered it with a damp cloth Put it in a pot and put it on the stove to ferment.

There must be yeast in the wine-flavored fruit and honey. This ball of old noodles is fermented and added as you go. It is the so-called "old noodles".

At this time, Ayin also finished the arm guards and gloves.

Only the index finger and middle finger of the glove have finger covers, and the other three fingers are exposed for easy operation. There is also a space on the back of the hand for ventilation. The palm and finger covers are made of two layers of linen.

Ayin put the glove on her hand, moved her right hand, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, it's not for nothing to learn crafts from grandma during this time."

Li Junge also smiled and said, "Well, our Ayin is becoming more and more like a woman from Lijiagou."

After finding a few pieces of dried bamboo, Li Junge took a knife to remove the bamboo skin, sanded it thinly with sandpaper, cut it into a suitable size and shape, inserted it into the interlayer of the armguard, and tied it to Ayin's left arm.

Ayin waved his left arm and said, "Well, it's very light. Tomorrow morning, we'll get up to practice arrows, and then jog to the beach to catch Pippi shrimp!"

After putting everything in order, Li Junge moved the pottery bowl into the pottery kiln, added enough charcoal to fire it up, and washed with A Yin before going to rest.

In the middle of the night, Li Junge hadn't forgotten to add carbon to the pottery kiln again to keep the fire running.
