Chapter 144: Pushing and grinding

Ayin said: "It is estimated that they will have cracked skin and crooked mouths at noon, and they may not be able to drink alcohol, so let's make some blood rice soup for them." I'll find some more chicken blood vines and boil water for them to soak their feet. ”

Li Junge said: "Just leave the matter of grinding soy milk to us, Ayin, let's stew the chicken first, and then you help me pour the beans." ”

Stewed chicken soup is simple, large coal sand canned hot water, pat a piece of ginger, and then put the scalded and washed chicken pieces into it, cover the mouth of the can with mulberry paper, and put it on the honeycomb coal stove to cook slowly.

After making the chicken soup, Li Junge picked up the bucket of soaked soybeans and said to Ayin: "Go, Ayin, help me pour the beans." ”

Coming to the side of the house next to the big stone mill, this mill is also old, the upper mill is one third shorter than the lower mill, this is because the grinding teeth are constantly smoothed out and then chiseled out, back and forth the upper mill is shortened.

The upper grinding is turned up and hung on the edge of the lower grinding with a brown rope, Li Junge takes a brush to brush the grinding disc inside and out, and then puts the upper grinding down, carefully aligns the grinding core, and puts the upper grinding on it.

Grinding seventy or eighty pounds, this job can only be done by men.

The upper grinding is like a Taiji diagram, but the Yin fish side is concave, and the position of the Taiji fish eye is a hole of filler.

There is also a large square wooden wedge on the side of the upper mill, and there is a round hole perpendicular to the ground on the wedge, which is used to install the fader of the mill.

The fader is a T-shaped wooden frame nailed up with a large wooden stick, and a diagonal wood is installed on both sides to fix it, and the overall look is a horizontal under the word "hu", which is also fixed with a brown rope and suspended in the air.

The tenon on the fader is placed in the upper grinding wedge, and Ayin puts a clean large wooden barrel under the diversion of the mill to receive soybean milk, then wets the grinder inside and out, and begins to pour beans into the inlet.

There is also a knack for pushing and grinding, and the grinding disc wedge can not be in a straight line between your body and the grinding core after each force, but to go past a certain angle, otherwise you will not be able to exert force next time you push and pull.

In the children's song of Li Jiagou's "grinding, grinding, pushing bean flowers, please ...... the eldest child", there is actually a "" word, which has already revealed the trick of grinding.

The soybeans were soaked last night, one by one, a dozen beans and half a spoonful of water per spoonful, and soon there was fine soybean milk flowing out along the grinding seam, gathering in the grinding ditch, and finally flowing into the large wooden barrel below along the diversion groove.

A fresh aroma of raw soy milk spreads.

Li Junge was pushing and pulling the grinding plate evenly while chatting with Ayin.

Li Junge said: "Ayin, you sang a song for me that day, and I will sing a song for you." ”

Ah Yin's eyes were fixed on the inlet, and he said while adding beans, "Well, you sing." ”

Li Junge continued the rhythm of grinding and sang in the tune of "Railway Guerrillas": "The sun is about to set in the west, and the bachelors of Lijiagou are coming, and I can't let go of my beloved bamboo dart in vain......"

Ah Yin laughed and fell: "Well, you can't let it go, a dart pierced the pot, and you will have a fat Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Li Junge said abruptly: "How can you go directly to the pot, it's too wasteful!

Ah Yin laughed and gently tapped Li Junge's forehead with the tip of the spoon: "Don't make trouble! ”

……

The two changed the topic, and Li Jun said again: "The loess of Dingshan is at the tip of the sky, and the old saying of Jiachuan bean curd rice means that the rice at the foot of Dingshan, the beans on the loess ridge, and the chili pepper at the tip of the sky, make the best bean curd rice." ”

Ayin asked, "Where is Ding Shan?"

Li Junge said: "Ding Mountain, in the other direction of Jiachuan, the mountain god of Ding Mountain made a bet with the mountain god of Bifeng Mountain to compete who would grow taller, but Bifeng Mountain couldn't grow long, so he thought of an idea, and secretly put a grinding disc on his head in the middle of the night while Ding Shan was asleep. Since then, Dingshan has not grown, but Bifeng Mountain has grown to its current height. ”

Ayin laughed: "I know who you learned from this lazy two-skinned character, it turns out that you learned from the mountain god." ”

Li Junge also said solemnly: "This is true, you go to Ding Mountain now, there is a big grinding plate on the top of the mountain, and that mountain looks like a 'Ding' character, so it is called Ding Mountain." ”

The two chatted and worked, but they were not bored, and before they knew it, they finished grinding half a bucket of beans.

After cleaning the stone mill and hanging the grinding disc and faders again, Li Junge carried the large wooden barrel to the kitchen and handed it to Ni's mother.

Ah Yin picked a two-pointed knife and hung it on his waist, and said to Li Junge: "Erpi, let's go, let's get some rattan for Pig Worm and Erzhun." ”

The two of them went out of the stockade and walked to a path on the side, and after walking a short distance they came to the edge of a ravine, which was surrounded by native trees on both sides, and on which many vines were climbed, and some of them even climbed from this side of the mountain stream to the other side of the mountain stream.

"Hey, this is amazing, how did this vine lead it? It's unbelievable. Li Junge asked Ayin with the core of his head.

Ah Yin said: "That rattan is a chicken blood vine, I don't know how to lead it, anyway, it has a name called 'Mountain Dragon'." ”

Li Junge was amazed, and followed Ayin to a wrist-thick vine.

The vine has leathery heart-shaped leaves, and climbs along a wild tree, taking up one-third of the wild tree's living space.

I saw Ayin scrape the bottom of the vine with a knife, and then listened attentively.

Li Junge smiled: "Ouch, you still keep this legend?"

Ayin Waner said: "Haha, it doesn't take much to scrape, what if there is movement one day?"

Li Junge nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, there was a mistake in killing, I didn't let it go!"

Ayin gave Li Junge a kick and said, "Don't laugh at me, this is a habit I developed when I was a child." ”

Li Junge said: "It's really not a joke for you, when I was a child, I heard people say that if you eat plums, you will drink water immediately, but I still don't dare to drink water after eating plums for a long time." ”

Ayin pulled out the knife, squatted down and stabbed at the bottom of the vine, then stood up and slashed a person's height.

Turned the section sideways and showed it to Li Junge: "Erpi, look at this section." ”

Li Junge held the bottom with one hand, and saw that the section was light brown, with the center as the center, and several blood-red circles were distributed.

Red liquid was oozing out of several circles, literally bleeding.

Li Junge said: "In the past, they were directly cut as crutches, and I really didn't notice that the chicken blood was distributed in such a circle. ”

Ayin said: "It also has a nickname called 'Five Layers of Blood', which is based on this characteristic. ”

The two began to pull down the cut vine together, the rule of the mountain runner, since the vine was cut off, if you can, don't waste it.

The vine clings very tightly, and it really takes a lot of effort to pull it down.

Cut the rattan into a section of more than one meter, tie it into two bundles, and then make a bamboo tip flat pole and carry it back to the village.

Back to the village, throwing the rattan on the open dam to dry, Li Junge entered the hall, the huge teapot on the table was brewed Lao Yin tea, and Ni's mother also put honeysuckle and fat sea in it.

Li Junge poured a kettle of herbal tea, came out and said to Ayin: "Why don't we wait for them, and collect the chickens by the way on the way back." ”

Ayin said okay, and the two went to turn over a big cage that could hold bamboo chickens, and went to the top of the slope behind the village to wait for the arrival of the two.

was bored, so he simply picked a handful of lawsuit grass and played with grass.

After playing for a while, I heard the sound of muddy footsteps on the stone road, it was Zhu Chaoan and Si Xingzhun.

As soon as Zhu Chaoan saw the two of them, it was like seeing a savior, he didn't even have the strength to be angry, and waved his hand: "Huh, huh...... Fast...... Get my bag down...... Whoop ......"

Si Xingzhun was similar, put the camera bag on the stone road, sat down with a butt, and said, "Dead two...... Whoop Woohoo ...... If Miao Village is not as good as you say...... You just carry Lao Tzu on your back...... Whoop ......"

Ah Yin put down the bag for the two, Li Junge handed the two herbal tea, and said: "Don't talk yet, just pant and then talk, you can't sit for a long time, Erzun, hurry up and slip slowly." ”

The two of them took the herbal tea and poured it violently.

It was windy at the top of the mountain, and Li Junge took out a towel from the backpack of the two of them, wiped the two of them, and changed into dry clothes.

Finally, the two of them finally returned to their souls, and Si Xingzhun said: "Along the way, I really didn't look good, and the scenery was far worse than our Lijiagou side." ”

This kid stayed in Lijiagou for three months and regarded himself as a Lijiagou person.

Zhu Chaoan is a foodie, and he is about to cry when he hugs the cage: "What about the bamboo chicken? What about the bamboo chicken? It's good to have a good mouth, it's good to have a mouthful, it's all supported by the bamboo chicken, and you show me an empty cage!"

Li Junge said: "Hahaha, in order to let you experience the fun, this is not going to close the hall yet." ”

Zhu Chao'an immediately came to his senses: "Ah? hahaha, what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Li Junge said, "You don't take a break anymore?"

Zhu Chao'an said: "The immortals have worshiped ninety-nine, and the last time I saw the real Buddha, you let me rest?" I told you that I could catch a bamboo chicken today, but if not, I and Er Zhun really strangled you." ”

Li Junge picked up the backpacks of the two and said, "It should be no problem, the chickens in that hall are not old and young." It's just a short walk back to the road. ”

Si Xingzhun said: "A hundred birds in the forest are not as good as a bird in hand, pigs and insects, hurry up, I haven't seen a bamboo chicken yet." ”

The two of them carried the bird cage and limped in front, and Li Junge and Ayin looked at it from behind and smiled.

The four of them chatted and walked, and Li Junge said with a smile: "Pig worm, your trip is more effective than staying in Lijiagou for three days." ”

Si Xingzhun said: "I thought my physical strength was already good, why don't I feel as good as pigs?"

Li Junge thought to himself that although the pig worm has not completely succeeded in losing weight, he is also a person who has drunk Lingquan water a few times, and when it comes to physical fitness, Erzhun is really not necessarily comparable.

He said, "You're all good, we estimated it would take us four hours, and you arrived quite quickly." ”
