Chapter 922: The Black Tree

The fruit of the black tree is only the size of a pea, and Ayin put one in his mouth first: "It's not as sweet as the one in our village." ”

Li Junge made fun of her: "No matter how sweet it is, it is not as sweet as my Li Jiagou, and then Li Jiagou is the sweetest on the mountain behind Tiren Garden." ”

Ayin hit him: "Oh, what I said is true!"

There are a lot of fruits, but they are not big, and the two of them frolicked to pick what they could eat, and it was just a small bowl.

Continuing on the road, Li Junge did not find any traces of fierce beasts and wild boars, it seems that the products here are not as good as Bifeng Mountain, the biggest is just goats and the like, it is estimated that there is still a family that runs out of the adult population.

Soon the two of them reached the top of the mountain, and there was also a ridge on the top of the mountain, which stretched all the way to the cliff near the river where they had been last year.

Ah Yin put up a pergola and looked over there, and asked Li Junge: "Do you want to go there again?"

Li Junge said: "I think it's better to go all the way down the valley and see what is cheap." There are a lot of places we haven't explored yet. ”

Ah Yin thought about it and felt that it made sense, and said with a smile: "Yes, let's slowly figure out this area, and it is estimated that it will take several years." ”

Li Junge said: "In general, it's good, but the animal species are not very rich, and the fish are not as good as the upstream and downstream, no wonder the ancestors didn't settle here back then." ”

Ayin said: "The soil layer is too thin to make fields. The tree is also not tall enough. However, the scenery is better, and it is much easier to walk than the thin bamboo forest, and the air seems to be drier. ”

Li Junge looked at it for a moment, and pointed to a trace of greenery in a red leaf in the valley: "That should be the starting point of the stream next to our camp, we haven't explored the other side of the stream yet, why don't we go down from there?"

Ayin asked, "How will you go to the water's edge later?"

Li Junge smiled: "Won't I swim over and drive the dinghy over to pick you up?"

Ayin had no opinion, the two found the right direction and began to choose the way down the mountain.

The most along the way were squirrels and hares, and Li Junge felt that he was about to become a disaster, and from time to time he would run out of the grass on the side of the road, or jump onto the trees.

All the way down, at last you could faintly hear the sound of water, and after walking a little further, you came to a shallow stream.

Fertile soil began to appear along the stream, and pine and oak forests began to appear, and it was clearly a mushroom nest.

I took a sapper shovel and pulled away the pine needles, and sure enough, a mushroom appeared on the red earth, a matsutake mushroom that had not yet opened its umbrella.

Li Junge looked at the mushrooms on the ground and smiled at Ah Yin: "Forget it, it's too far away from the camp, and I'll build a shed here next year." ”

Ah Yin smiled: "Then we can't just let it go, let's look around to see if there is a big nest, and mark it with an oak stick." ”

Li Junge thought it was funny, this is a squirrel and a hare, the wind and rain are blowing, and it will be hell if you can find an oak stick when you come back next year.

But I didn't want to disturb Ayin's good interest, so I listened to her words and went to sharpen the stick.

When I came back from sharpening a few sticks, I heard Ayin shouting: "Erpi, come quickly, there is a big kudzu here!"

Li Junge looked over, and sure enough, a big Ge tree had pulled vines between a pine tree and an oak tree, and Ge Ye had completely snatched the space of the oak tree, and had already tossed the oak tree to death.

The trunk of the kudzu vine, thicker than the trunk of the small oak tree, has become lignified.

Li Junge patted the trunk of kudzu vine with his hand, raised his head to look at the height of kudzu vine, and said, "Ayin, kudzu root powder is delicious." ”

Ayin smiled: "Isn't it troublesome?"

Li Junge waved the sapper shovel in his hand: "The artifact is in hand, and it is much easier than the fern root, and the daughter-in-law likes to eat, so she is afraid of the trouble of the gods!"

Ayin covered her mouth and smiled: "Then there is Lao Fujun." ”

Li Junge unloaded his backpack, changed the sapper shovel into a hoe, and began to squat down and plow the ground.

Once you can see a taproot, change it to a shovel and clean it along the taproot.

It took three meters to clean up the taproot and finish it.

found hay and burned a pile of grass ashes, Li Junge took a piece of one meter and five calf thicknesses, chopped it into three sections with a shovel and looked at the port: "It's a good time to produce powder, look at this one, how good the quality is." ”

Ayin found large leaves and thin vines, bandaged the kudzu at both ends to prevent the slurry from staining the backpack, and then put the kudzu away.

Li Junge used grass and wood ash to paste the location of the broken roots of the kudzu vine, and then restored the ground.

patted the vine stem again, and Li Junge exclaimed: "If this is all dug out, I'm afraid there will be two or three hundred catties!"

Ayin smiled: "It's okay to eat, it's really troublesome to carry two or three hundred catties." ”

The section that has just been intercepted is about thirty catties, about the same thickness as the forearm, Miao Village is now planting kudzu to sell tourists, such a thick one is rare, and it also makes Ayin feel very happy.

The two of them stopped to rest by the pine forest, and by the way, they turned out pancakes and canned chicken soup for lunch.

After washing the kudzu root and going down a little further, the humus layer on the ground began to thicken, and evergreen crops, bamboo, and fern vines gradually increased.

The number of birds also began to increase significantly here, and Li Junge suddenly stopped while walking, pointed to a tall tree and said, "Ayin, look. ”

Ayin looked at it and found nothing.

Li Junge asked her to search along the trunk of the tree through the digital telephoto lens, and stopped at a forked place.

Ah Yin raised the camera and searched upward, found the position that was almost at the fork, and shouted excitedly: "Owls! Two little owls! They are about the same color as the bark of the tree, you really didn't pay attention to it!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "This will save another three hundred yuan, this bird seems to have not been discovered by Li Jiagou yet." ”

Ayin's fingers clicked and pressed the shutter: "It's so cute, they're huddled in the hollow of the tree and looking out!

Li Junge said: "The big bird must have gone out to forage, these two should be able to fly soon, there are so many squirrels here, it is estimated that the owl will soon be able to form a population." ”

Ah Yin put down the camera: "It's a fun bird, why do you say that they are night owls and unlucky?"

Li Junge shook his head: "I really don't know this, maybe birds can walk at night, which goes against people's common sense that birds are night blind." ”

"But we have very few owls here, because in our area it is said that pregnant women eating owl stew can clear the fetus from poison, and there is no shortage of disasters for them in the old days. ”

Ah Yin looked up at the branches: "It shouldn't be now, right?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "It shouldn't be, and it doesn't have to be an owl stew to clear the fetal poison, fried goose eggs with goose intestine grass, and stewed pork belly with bitter scallion are all of the best quality, so why bother not getting along with owls?"

Ayin smiled: "I really hope they are as happy here as the golden retriever." ”

All the way down, I soon came to the pond where Gexian rice was found.

The area of the pond has indeed expanded a lot as Li Junge expected, and now it has thirty or forty square meters.

As we went down, the ravines grew deeper and wider, and the streams became more and more watery.

There are also a lot of useful plants here, in addition to those on the other side, Li Junge also found a few foot plate and a few konjac.

These two things are also in season, and Li Junge likes to eat them, so he can't let them go.

As for konjac, there are too many of them in Lijiagou, so I only cut the roots and took a few lumps, also called konjac seeds, and prepared to transplant them to the camp.

All the way to the stream, Ayin looked at the boat on the other side of the bay and said with a smile: "Look, I'm asking for trouble." ”

Li Junge began to wrap and undress: "What's the trouble with this?

Ayin stomped her feet and said, "Oh, why did you take off all your underwear?

Li Junge smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here." ”

Ayin rolled her eyes: "Shameless! I'm still proud! Hurry up and get the boat over and put it on...... Why are you still swimming outside?!"

Li Junge turned around and said, "Just kidding, what should I do if I am shocked after raising a fish nest for a few days?"

Ayin couldn't help but cover her eyes and cry and laugh: "It's all like this, you can't forget fishing!"

His Excellency Li Jun spared a big circle, and then he arrived on the other side and untied the dinghy and drove over.

The two returned to the New Year's number, Li Junge sassafrass a handful of his body, and Ayin took out half of Jiuli incense and half of ordinary rice.

Then take the pounded garlic and turn the washed black leaves into leaf pulp.

Li Junge took out two pieces of brown silk peeled on the mountain two days ago and tore them apart, using them as filters, Ayin poured the leaf pulp into a small pot, added water and mixed thoroughly, and filtered out the blue leaf sap through the brown silk funnel.

Pour the leaf juice into a rice bowl, cover the white rice, stir well and let it soak there.

Li Junge's operation method is similar, first wash and peel the kudzu, then cut it into pieces, and put it into a nest and pound it into a pulp.

But his funnel was made bigger, made of bamboo shelves and five or six sheets of brown silk.

The basin needed was also large, and Li Junge directly dragged two large storage boxes over as containers.

The next step is to add water to one storage box, mix and wash, then filter it into another storage box, and then take the kudzu fiber out of the large funnel and put it in the original storage box, repeating the process just now.

After several filtration and washing, the fibers and starch are completely separated, and a storage box of light brown slurry is obtained, like a very clear mud.

This is only coarse filtration, and the reason why the fine pulp is light brown is because there is still cellulose residue in it, so it also needs to be finely filtered.

The next step is to throw away the first fibers and remake the large funnel of brown silk, and the brown silk is thicker, and after a few times, the pulp becomes whiter and whiter.

Finally, let the slurry of this large storage box slowly settle.

It was nearly evening.

Ginkgo biloba has been concocted for three days, and today it is ready.

Tonight, Ayin was cooking, and Li Junge went to the sand bed to collect ginkgo fruit.

The fire was extinguished, and the sand in the sand bed was shoveled into a coarse basket with the ginkgo biloba, and the sand was sifted away, and the small white nuts were obtained.

In general, many of the ginkgo seeds sold in the market are raw and sun-dried, and there are some poisons, and the ginkgo seeds obtained by Li Junge's method are ripe, and the toxicity is exhausted, so it is okay to eat them directly, and the moisture is exhausted, and they can be stored for a long time.

Today, this drying bed is useless, go to the hillside to find a place to plant konjac seeds and small heels of the foot board, Li Junge returned to the boat with a basket of ginkgo seeds.
