Chapter 484: Giant Bamboo Shoots

Walking back with a bamboo rat fart, he suddenly found a small crack in the ground.

"Damn, the tropics are good! It's only September, right?

Grab a piece of dried bamboo and dig around the tiny crack.

The more you dig, the more scary it gets, the more you dig, the more surprised you are, how big is the bamboo shoot below!

Li Junge didn't know what the bamboo in this forest was, but the bamboo poles were much thicker than the bamboo, and the bamboo with a diameter of 30 centimeters could be imagined.

Digging down to a depth of one meter, his buttocks were about to pout into the sky, and Li Junge found the roots.

I found a few plantain leaves and wrapped the bamboo shoots, and then I held the bamboo shoots and twisted them off.

The hair on the bamboo is not forgiving.

Holding the bamboo shoots in his hands, Li Junge was dumbfounded: "Mine go! This, this has to be more than a dozen catties!"

This cow is a big deal, Li Junge dares to guarantee that Ayin has never seen such a big bamboo shoot, wrap the bamboo shoots with large banana leaves, tie bamboo silk before and after, carry it on his shoulder, and run to the camp with the bamboo rat fart.

Ah Yin was making breakfast, and was putting the cassava dumplings in the cold water, when he saw Li Junge coming back with a big green package, and said in surprise: "Erpi, you cut a bunch of bananas and came back?

Li Junge put down the leaves on the bamboo table and said, "Ayin, come over and show you a rare thing." ”

After opening the package, Ayin was also frightened: "Can you still eat such a big bamboo shoot?"

Li Junge said: "Don't look at it so big, it hasn't been unearthed yet!

The bamboo shoot shell was opened, and a large bamboo shoot that looked like a bamboo shoot was placed in front of him, but this head bamboo shoot could not be compared, and there were at least ten catties of weight after the shell.

Li Junge took the machete and compared the proportion of the tips of the bamboo shoots, took off the tips of the big bamboo shoots, and gently cut off a piece from the bottom, put it in his mouth and chewed it, spit it out, and laughed so badly: "Sweet! Emma Jin Lao will be jealous of me now, hahahaha, the tips of the bamboo shoots are bigger than the whole bamboo shoots!"

Hurry up and process it, the sooner this thing is processed, the fresher it will be.

Cut the tips of the bamboo shoots into slices, throw them into boiling water and boil, take them out and soak them in cold water, leave a part of them fried on a plate, sprinkle a few chopped green onions, and use them as part of breakfast.

The remaining middle part, the hob is cut into pieces and stewed, and after cooking, it is also soaked in cold water, which is the part of the bamboo rat that is burned at noon.

At the bottom of the last part, cut into strips, open the sauerkraut jar, take out the taro stalks, put the bamboo shoots below, and then put the taro stalks on top, and laughed: "The sauerkraut jar is full now, hahahaha, a bamboo shoot can soak a jar, who believes this when it is taken to Lijiagou as a dragon gate array!"

When he was done, he picked up the bamboo rat and said to Ayin: "You haven't seen this yet!

Ayin also regretted: "This is the rice, after eating, pour the soup over the rice, how fragrant is it......"

After shaving the papaya coconut water pearl dew made by Ayin, Li Junge began to deal with the bamboo rats.

Originally, bamboo rat skin could still be used, but Li Junge's point of view was the same as that of Uncle Craftsman, it was a pity that this thing was used to make fur, and it was the right way to open it by scalding the skin.

Scalding, shaving, disemboweling, cleaning up the bamboo rats, and seeing the bearded face twitch.

Li Junge rolled his eyes, your baby will have to twitch later, and your nose will twitch!

Soak the skin rat meat in warm water, squeeze the blood water, and change it several times in the middle until the water is no longer red and the meat color begins to turn pink, then replace it with the last pot of warm water and soak it inside.

After Ayin finished eating and washed the dishes, the two began to make threads.

Because the drying time must be uninterrupted, the threading time is adjusted to the morning and evening.

Then Li Junge took the hemp seed oil that had floated up to the top of the oil basin overnight and put it into the oil bowl.

In the end, those who can't scoop up are not impossible, take four fingers and gently wipe them on the oil surface, stand up and shake the water droplets back, and scrape the four fingers together on the edge of the oil bowl, and the residual oil on your hands will go in.

The particles in the old time are really done to the extreme, Li Junge's hand, I have seen my grandmother do it many times, and I have already learned these small life experiences.

I got a small pound of hemp seed oil in total.

Today is a good start, and everything is going well, and Li Junge is ready to take advantage of this fortune to make a thing that he has wanted to do for a long time.

Take the longest preserved hardwood from the tail of the stove and select the finest hardwood and place it on the woodworking table.

Li Junge used this kind of wood to make a wooden spear, which has good elasticity and hard texture, which is very similar to Yansang.

The wood is split by a small tree, the whole body is knotless and unscarred, the material is straight, it has been dry for more than ten days, and it has been roasted for the last few days, and today is the time to use it.

First, nail a piece of bamboo on the woodworking table, and the bamboo skin goes down and the bamboo flesh goes up.

Place the wood in the depression and level it, pop the ink line with an ink fountain on it, and use a saw to remove the excess sides.

Then the two ends were removed, and this left a piece more than a meter long, three fingers wide and three fingers thick.

Keep the side with the belt arc, and the other three sides will be planed.

Then take out two screws and take them out, make two iron nails with two sharp ends, knock and bend them at 90 degrees in the middle, quench them and connect them side by side on the carpentry frame, which gives two grasping nails.

Placing the wood horizontally and tapping it on the grasping nail to fix it, Li Junge began to measure it on a large plane with a ruler and an ink fountain, and bounced the line.

The line is bounced, and a long and narrow diamond shape with a length of more than one meter appears on the plane, in the middle is a mere word, the upper and lower horizontal traverses of the mere word are wider than the palm, the diagonal line is also drawn, the oblique line intersects, and the four points that the diagonal line and the middle of the mere word intersect are also drawn on the line.

In this way, a figure appears on the board, removing the perimeter and leaving the middle part, which is a bow embryo with a grip.

Next, the machete was used to make a large diamond shape, and then the four sides were planed, and the wood was now transformed into a model of a racing boat.

Then leave the middle thick, and the bark will not move, and the wood will be slightly thinned from the middle to the two.

This should be done slowly, not only symmetrically on both sides, but also to maintain as much bow force as possible.

It is also necessary to leave enough height for punching, opening, and winding.

After doing this, Li Junge began to make stewed bamboo rats.

Some time ago, Ayin collected a lot of star anise, and Li Junge scooped up the bamboo rat meat, wrapped it in papaya pulp and tapioca flour batter, and drained it.

The papaya is very sweet, which is also sugar-colored.

Then pour out the remaining oil, leave a little more in the pot, add the meat, boiling water and star anise, cover and simmer.

The bamboo rat was stewed, and Li Junge continued to deal with the bow embryo.

The inner surface of the bow arm is treated into a large one, and the string holes are opened at both ends, the hemp rope is hung upside down, and the inner side of the bow arm is exposed to become an outer arc, and the planer knife is planed to a smooth one.

For those parts that cannot be planed, make a sand file with a wooden square modeled on the bark sandpaper, polish the bow arm into shape, and finally hold the sand with your hand to polish all parts of the bow arm smooth.

After doing this, the hemp rope was removed, the bow embryo was straightened, and the bamboo rat meat was also stewed, and Li Junge began to add bamboo shoots and salt to it.

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the bearded nose really began to twitch, and the taste was so beautiful!

There is no rice, Li Junge just uses tapioca flour to mix into dough, spreads it thinly and deepens it into pancakes.

Wait until half of the braised bamboo rat juice is received, add chopped green onion and some lemon and coriander shreds.

Cut the cake into slices, took three pieces and put them on a plate, scooped a bowl of bamboo rat meat, and let the bearded man serve it to the mustache first.

I also left him a bowl, and he and Ayin ate the rest.

This meal is so fragrant, crispy pancakes, fresh and sweet bamboo shoots, and tender and fragrant rat meat, no less than any meal in Lijiagou.

The bearded man no longer cares about his reserve and work ethic, so he used the camera on a tripod to shoot Li Junge and Ayin, and went to the pile with a plate and a mustache.

Ah Yin took a bite of the pancake, it was crispy and slaggy, and when she chewed it, she clicked and picked a piece of rat meat and put it in her mouth, and was pleasantly surprised: "Wow! This rat meat is fragrant and delicate! It is more delicate than the bamboo rat in Lijiagou!"

Li Junge said: "I also found out, it is estimated that there is a kind of cassava flour and papaya pulp that can make the meat more tender, but unfortunately there is no meat, and it will be tested next time." ”

Ayin shook his head and said, "The side of the pancake is crispy and fragrant, and the thick part in the middle is dipped in the soup, the taste is really rich......"

Li Junge picked up a piece of bamboo shoots and said: "This is sweet, it's not as delicious as the meat side dish, the bamboo shoots burned in thick oil, that's called a fragrant!"

This meal was eaten by four people, the amount of oil was large, the taste was fragrant, and it was the top delicacy in the mountains and forests.

After eating, Li Junge asked Ayin to take a nap and paint and weave instead of her.

Waiting for Ayin to get up and take over, Li Junge continued to deal with the bow embryo.

Take a machete to work out the grip part, carefully trim the shape, and polish it out with the same sandpaper.

The processed bow embryo is brought to the carpentry table, and the crouch is crouched down to take a look.

In addition to the middle handshake, which is two fingers wide and three fingers thick, the base of the bow arm on both sides is three fingers wide and two fingers thick, and then gradually receives a bow slightly to two fingers wide and one and a half fingers thick.

Evenly symmetrical, there are still two protrusions the size of half a peach leaf on the bow and two holes in each of them, but they are not yet grooved.

The hardwood is very delicate and the brown eye is so dense that it is almost invisible to the naked eye. Li Junge took the hemp belt and grinded it finely, and the surface of the wood began to shine, and finally it was as if it had been waxed.

Now the wood grain wood color is more obvious, and the brown and yellow bow embryo is so beautiful that you don't want it.

Li Junge boiled a little fish gelatin, scraped off the bark of the bow embryo, and after polishing the same sandpaper, he took a piece of dried bamboo skin, glued it with fish glue, trimmed the general shape, and tied the bow embryo tightly with a thin hemp rope.

After taking the bow embryo to the back of the stove and baking it at a low temperature, most of the afternoon has passed.

Li Junge began his routine work for the day, re-flushing baskets by the stream, adding cassava chips, washing hemp, carrying water, soaking alkaline water by the way, and washing the basket of hemp and bamboo silk for the day and bringing it back.

After putting away the paint, Ayin braided a belt of more than three meters.

Then the two began to dry the hemp, Ayin cooked, and Li Junge went to prepare for the night's work.
