Chapter 82: Ice Powder

Next, Li Junge invited Si Xingzhun to play with him in the afternoon, but Si Xingzhun refused, arrogantly saying that he wanted to study with the fourth grandfather, and asked him not to patronize the babies all day long, or to improve himself from time to time, so angry that Li Junge pulled Zhu Chaoan to turn around and leave.

The two went to Li Ermao's small supermarket first, Li Junge weighed two catties of brown sugar and one catty of hemp sugar, and weighed a large bag of quicklime, and returned home.

took out the coal sand jar at home, Li Junge chopped the brown sugar and hemp sugar and put it in, scooped three catties of water into it, and steamed it in the pot.

Then mash the quicklime block into lime powder, turn out a basin, put the lime powder in it, add water and stir well, and let it clarify slowly.

After having lunch with his own children, and the brown sugar water was also boiled, Li Junge took two large plastic buckets of mountain spring water from home, put them on the small cart together with the coal sand jar and lime water, and pulled the pockets of the bean curd filter at home, pushed the cart, and took his children to the small dock on the floating platform.

Of course, Zhu Chaoan is indispensable.

After a while, all the children in the village arrived, and Li Junge picked a lot of young branches with leaves from the eucalyptus tree next to him, knitted a hat ring for each baby and put it on his head, and said, "Do you know the big ice powder tree on the side of the mountain?"

Li Yusong said: "I know, I know! I'll lead the way!"

The group walked mightily towards the foot of the mountain.

The babies will never stop, and after a while, each of them has an extra stick in their hands, poking and poking into the sky to the rhythm, and starting the chorus with the tune of "Ten to the Red Army".

"Breaking the (lame) to join the Red Army,

The Red Army don't break it!

Because of the butt of the broken child,

Easy to expose the target!

Break the child to find the commissar,

The political commissar is also a breaker!

Because of sympathy for the break,

Just let him join the army!

Break the child to carry out the mission,

Accidentally exposed the target!

Because of the butt of the broken child,

I was caught by the enemy!

The enemy tortured and broke the children

, break the child and don't move!

Because he didn't make a move when he was dying,

was killed by the enemy!

……”

Zhu Chao'an hadn't heard of this, he held his belly and laughed wildly, almost planting himself in the ditch next to the stone road.

Li Junge held his forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "Can you stop a little? I don't know if you will be harmonized like this!"

Too lazy to care about this group of bear children, Li Junge introduced to Zhu Chao'an: "There are two kinds of ice powder trees in Shuzhou, and both trees have cool names. ”

"One is called fake sour pulp, there are two super dick aliases, one is 'Blue Flower Fairy', the other is 'Da Qiansheng', Niu No? This thing is an exotic plant, native to Peru, introduced to China in the Qing Dynasty, and we have the most Pengshou City in Shudu Province. ”

"False sour pulp is a small shrub, the flowers are blue-purple, the fruit is like a small lantern, after drying, it is like a natural dried flower, it is hidden for a long time, and it can be played in a vase. ”

"Pseudosour berry itself has the effect of sedation, expectorant, heat-clearing, detoxification, cough suppressant, treating mental illness, rabies, cold, rheumatic pain, scabies and other diseases; Flowers can dispel wind, reduce inflammation, and cure the nasal abyss. It can be said that the whole body is a treasure. ”

"There is also a kind of Xue Li, did you think of Chu Ci when you heard this name?' If someone is in the mountains, he will be taken by Xue Lixi!', this thing is a vine-like plant, but some old trees in our Jiachuan will grow into a tree-like, the leaves are a bit like evergreen leaves, and the fruits are like figs and pears. ”

"This is also a traditional Chinese medicine, the leaves can be anti-aging, and the husks can cure back and leg pain. ”

"This time we are going to pick Xue Liguo, the fake sour pulp has just bloomed now, and it has not borne fruit. ”

After a while, they came to the foot of the mountain, where there was a large ice powder tree by the stream, clinging to a huge rock, and the trees were full of fruits, some like pears, some like figs.

Zhu Chaoan felt very novel, and picked up the big one violently.

Li Yuning and Li Yusong laughed and fell: "Uncle Fat doesn't understand anything, just point to the male fruit and pick it!"

Li Junge smiled at Zhu Chao'an and said: "Pig worms, this is the same as wild sweet potatoes, it is also divided into male and female, the big fruit is generally a male fruit, which is hollow, and the smaller and rounder ones are the mother fruits, and there are ice powder seeds in them." Also, when picking, you have to move quickly, otherwise glue will flow out of the stem, and you will have to rub it with sand on your hands. ”

The big babies were like monkeys, and after a few clicks, they grabbed Xue Liteng and climbed onto the big rock, and kept picking the fruit and throwing it down.

The little babies picked it up below, and when they found it, they threw it into a woven bag that Li Junge had opened.

Soon half a bag of fruit was filled.

"Enough is enough!" Li Junge was afraid that the babies would fall, so he protected them below, and when he saw that the number was enough, he quickly let the babies come down.

Carrying half a pocket of Xue Liguo, a group of people sang and returned to the pontoon dock.

Taking out the fruit and washing it in water, Li Junge began to cut the fruit.

After everything was halved, the fruit was handed to the children, and the children began to scoop out the ice powder seeds with a spoon and throw them on the cart to dry.

After a while, the ice powder seeds were half-dry.

Zhu Chaoan and the babies were so hot that they jumped into the water after getting the ice powder seeds.

Li Junge put the brown sugar water in the stream, grabbed some ice powder seeds and put them in the bean curd pocket, tied the bag tightly and soaked them in a plastic bucket and began to rub the seeds.

After a while, the surface of the pocket began to seep out of the transparent slurry.

After every rubbing, Li Junge would wipe the slurry on the surface into the water.

After rubbing until there was no slurry flowing out, Li Junge shook out the ice powder seeds, grabbed a few more handfuls and continued to rub.

After rubbing until the spring water in the two plastic buckets was filled with small suspended solids, Li Junge took out the lime water, knocked off the lime skin condensed on the surface, scooped out the clarified lime water with a small bowl, poured it into the plastic bucket and stirred it gently.

In fact, Xue Liguo's ice powder seeds can solidify on their own, but the weather is too hot, and in order to speed up the progress, Li Junge still added some lime water to it as a coagulant.

Covering the lid of the plastic bucket, Li Junge couldn't hold on, took off his clothes and jumped into the water to play with the babies.

After playing for an hour, Li Junge returned to the floating platform, opened the lid, and the spring water in the two plastic buckets turned into jelly-like gel.

Li Junge picked up the coal sand jar and put it beside him, took out a long-handled spoon, and shouted to the babies who were still playing crazy on the water slide: "The ice powder is ready!

The babies shouted loudly, "Eat ice powder!" and jumped into the water and swam this way.

Each baby picked up a bowl, held a spoon in his hand, and eagerly gathered around Li Junge: "Uncle Erpi, I'll come first, I'll come first!"

Li Junge laughed and said, "What about the two big buckets, I'm afraid that I won't have enough to eat, start with a small one, Xiao Lun, you come first." And then there's Xiaoxian. ”

Xiaoxian is Wang Meixian, the granddaughter of the second aunt, who has just been sent from Shudu in the past two days, and has already mingled with the original five little babies in the family.

Li Junge scooped a bowl of ice powder for each person, and added a scoop of pond water, and a row of babies sat on the small floating platform to dig ice powder and eat.

Zhu Chaoan also made a big bowl for himself, ate a few bites, and said: "Well, I still don't put anything, just brown sugar water, clear the heat and relieve the heat, the most authentic!"

Li Junge also said: "Yes, I eat a lot of ice powder in Yuzhou, watermelon and mango, and when glutinous rice cakes, I don't know whether it is ice powder seeds or gelatin, or I make it well, don't worry about it for the baby, by the way, aren't you sore legs, I'll eat more later." ”

Everyone drank two bowls each, and the boys were energetic and ran to play in the water again.

The girls were quieter and ran to pick the "lawsuit grass".

The lawsuit grass is a common kind of grass on the roadside, with several forked spikes on the grass pole, just like the walkie-talkie antenna on the back of the old army signal soldiers.

This is also a game often played by the children in the township, the lawsuit grass out of a circle, and then make a knot, two people will pass their respective lawsuit grass through the circle of the other party's grass pole, and then begin to pull their own grass pole at both ends, if whose grass is broken first, it is whose lawsuit is lost.

After a while, Wang Meixian came to complain with tears in her eyes: "Little cousin, I always lose, I don't want to play with them." ”

Li Junge got up and pretended to look for it in the grass, but in fact, he secretly took out a lawsuit grass from the space, helped her tie the knot, handed it to her and said: "Uncle Xiao found one for you, this one guarantees that you can win, but it's not necessarily fun to win all the time, you go try it first." ”

After a while, Wang Meixian came back with tears in her eyes and said: "Little cousin grass back to you, I always win, they don't play with me anymore, saying that the grass you gave me is too thick, it is cheating." ”

Li Junge touched her head and said, "Isn't it? Uncle Xiao just told you that winning all the time is not necessarily fun, is it? Winning until all the children stop playing with you, are you still happy? So the most important thing in playing games is not to lose and win, but to be happy with your friends and play together." You always lose, it's because your grass knot is not well laid, come, my little cousin will teach you. ”

After teaching Wang Meixian to tie the grass knot, Li Junge said to him, "Now if you go to find a straw to play by yourself, there will definitely be a win or a loss, if you win by yourself, you will be happy for yourself, if someone else wins, you will be happy for others, is this good?"

Wang Meixian obediently agreed, and after a while, she laughed and laughed with a group of little girls.

After a while, another baby wanted to eat ice powder, and when he came over with a bowl, Li Junge scooped a bowl for them. The babies threw away the bowl after eating and ran to play again.

As a result, on the way home, a group of babies had puffed out their small bellies, and when they walked, they could hear the water in their stomachs, and from time to time they had to run to the roadside behind the trees to pee.

Then Zhu Chaoan found that his legs were weak again, and after drinking so much ice powder, it still didn't work.

When I went home at night and saw my parents, I realized that it was time to harvest rice again.

Dad said: "Let's not collect it in person this year, there are so many things on the lychee side, so let's just ask someone to collect it together, as well as your uncle's family, your cousin's family, your fifth cousin's family, and your company Wang Qingguo." ”

Now my father provides fresh fish to the lobby brother in the city every week, and the lychees are constantly falling down the trees, knowing that Li Junge's finances are no longer a problem, he seems to be rich.

Of course, Li Junge raised his hand to agree, this rice harvest is really a bit bitter, and it is really inappropriate to let the elders work at home, so it is the best.
