Chapter 194: Grinding Rice
The rice is very beautiful, and the golden look makes people feel very hopeful, and our group is very excited to see the rice in front of us.
Chen Jian dragged me even more, almost jumping on the ground.
"Brother Sihai, are we going to have rice to eat soon?"
Wang Ping on the side looked at Chen Jian, shaking his head with a smile on his face.
"Even if these rice grains are grown, they still have to be ground before they can be turned into polished rice, that is, the rice we eat in the city is rice that has been processed, but now the husk on these rice, what do you have to do to get rid of it?"
After Wang Ping finished speaking, Chen Jian, who was still excited, frowned suddenly.
"Then what should we do? We can't look at these rice? I can't eat it in my mouth, right? I've been hungry for a while, I never thought that rice could be so delicious when I was in the city, and now I drool when I think about it, I can't do it, Brother Sihai, what do you think should be done about this?"
I looked at Chen Jian and then at Wang Ping, and shook my head: "I don't have much experience in this matter, after all, I have never done this kind of rice grinding, and although my previous family was rural, I have never experienced such a thing since I was a child...... But there is a lot of strength in numbers, and I believe that we big guys can always come up with a way, after all, under such difficult conditions, we can even find rice, so it shouldn't be too difficult to grind rice, right?"
Wang Ping on the side looked at me and said with a smile: "I don't think we should be too anxious about this matter, as long as these paddies can grow completely, we will always have a way." ”
Liu Jiaojiao walked out of Chen Jian's room at this time.
Liu Jiaojiao's complexion has been very good these days, and being able to eat and drink has made us all a lot happier.
Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei have found a lot of little hares in the past few days, washed all the rabbits' fur, and then prepared to make small clothes for the children born to Liu Jiaojiao.
Now that several women have work, they are also a lot quieter.
Liu Jiaojiao leaned over and looked at the rice, and swallowed her saliva: "I've seen a movie before, and it seems to be grinding with some stone mills, but we have a lot of stones here, how to do stone grinding?"
Chen Jian has long regarded Liu Jiaojiao as his heart, and after hearing Liu Jiaojiao say this, he hurriedly leaned over and touched Liu Jiaojiao's hair with a comforting expression.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, Brother Sihai and I will always come up with a way to do this, I think this stone mill is not just a round stone? After a while, let's think about it and see if we can get a round stone, and then make a simple stone mill, anyway, it will take more than ten days for these rice grains to mature, twenty days, time is always enough, you go and rest first, I stewed egg custard for you in the pot, you go and taste it."
Liu Jiaojiao followed Chen Jian, and the two of them walked away with a smile, Wang Ping looked at Chen Jian's back, and his face also showed envy.
"Hey, in fact, sometimes I think about this kind of ordinary life is much better than in the metropolis, at least there is no intrigue here, although there will be occasional estrangement, but things are always very simple to deal with, it is much stronger than the pressure in the metropolis, Chen Jian, this kid came here can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. ”
I looked at Wang Ping and nodded, I agreed with Wang Ping's words very much, maybe it was not only Chen Jian himself who was blessed by misfortune but also me, otherwise, in the metropolis, I am afraid that I can't even get a Xu Wei, let alone a Xiao Qiang, but it's useless to think about these things now, let's think about how to make a graphite.
We immediately began to go down the mountain to look for suitable stones, Wang Ping said that it is better to be larger, after all, if this rice can be successfully multiplied, then we will have to grind rice regularly to eat in the future.
Therefore, making a bigger one will save you more trouble in the future.
I also agree with Wang Ping, but the trouble is that we can't find such a round stone now, and even if we do, we can't lift him to the top of the mountain.
Finally, we had to put this graphite at the bottom of the waterfall, and at first we used a large stone, the stone was uneven, and we used other stones to hit each other, but the effect was still not very good.
Wang Ping said that now this situation can only be like this, and then we found a stone that is a little rounder, and after more than ten days of tempering, we finally achieved the effect we wanted.
It's not perfect, but it shouldn't be a problem for grinding rice.
We found a very thick trunk and tied it to the vine, which we could drag to act as a fulcrum.
Although it was strange, it was not bad, and after waiting for more than 20 days, our rice was finally ripe.
Wang Ping and Chen Jian carefully put up the seeds screened by us, and we didn't waste any of the remaining rice, all of which were ground into rice.
Although the rice we milled was not as good as the one we bought in the city, we were all very excited when the rice porridge was cooked.
Chen Jian immediately took out a bowl and handed it to me, I took a sip, and I only felt that it was the best thing in the world.
The last time we ate rice was the sunken rice we found on the ghost ship, and although the current rice is not perfect, it has grown to the present day through our own efforts.
And our rice mill was pretty good, so we harvested a big jar of rice in the evening.
It's not a lot of rice for us, but it gives us hope because we still have seeds.
This year's harvest is one can, and the next year's harvest may be a dozen cans, or even more.
In this way, even if the search and rescue team can't find us and can't go out, there will always be some staple food to eat, which is simply exciting news.
In the evening, although we were not willing to eat rice, we just drank some brown rice soup.
But everyone was very happy, even the dried sea fish that we don't usually like to eat has eaten a lot.
Liu Jiaojiao was even more happy on her face, touching her belly and saying that even if the child is born in the future, even if there is no way to return to the city, he will always let him know that there is a food in this world called rice.
