0296 Overripe

Xu Yi inspected and saw that the yellow barberry skin on the bamboo plaque had been completely dried, so he picked up a piece and looked at it.

A piece of yellow barberry is slightly curled, and the thick cork is about five millimeters under visual inspection, and it has a hard texture to the touch, and he reaches out to break off a small piece, and the color of the section is golden and bright.

Put the small piece of barberry under his nose and smell it, there was a fragrance in the faint bitterness, Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction, the quality of this barberry is quite good.

Xu Yi found an empty bag, left two pieces, put away all the remaining yellow barberry, and filled most of the bag.

The remaining two large pieces of yellow barberry Liu Liping are not used, these should be put away, how to say that this is also a good thing, it is shameful to waste it casually.

The content of these barberry components produced in space cannot be determined, and cannot be put into the prescription and used with other drugs.

However, as a common Chinese herbal medicine, barberry has been studied for many years, and the ingredients contained in it are relatively clear, and it has also been well affirmed. Even if it is used externally or taken to treat enteritis, there is still no big problem.

Of course, Xu Yi can't directly carry these two pieces of yellow barberry and throw them directly to Liu Liping, and let her rub her face directly on this board, which can indeed rub the acne away, and ensure that the skin of the face can be wiped clean, and this yellow barberry has to be processed again before it can be used.

Anyway, it was planned for her to use it externally, so Xu Yi was going to concoct it as simply as possible, polish it into powder, and finish it, so that it could be used when the time came.

Xu Yi took out a board and put it on the workbench, took the remaining two yellow barberry, and carefully cleaned it up with a knife. The bark of the tree is now firmly attached to the cortex.

Clean up the bluish-gray skin. The whole piece of barberry becomes golden all over. The colors are brighter and brighter.

Without a guillotine, Xu Yi doesn't care, anyway, it's just a cork, it's much softer than the bark of a tree, and it can barely be dealt with with with a kitchen knife.

After washing and drying the knife, Xu Yi pressed the yellow barberry on the board, cut them all into thin filaments with the thickness of the refill, and piled them up on the board. It's like a bunch of shredded carrots that are cut very evenly.

Xu Yi took out a brand-new stone mill, cleaned and wiped it clean, laid plastic wrap on the operating table below, and put the stone mill on it.

Grabbing a handful of barberry silk and feeding it to the feed port of the stone mill, Xu Yi began to push the grinding disc to rotate with his other hand.

As the rumbling sound of the grinding disc sounded, streams of bright yellow powder began to flow out from the middle of the grinding fan, falling on the plastic wrap below, and the bitter taste slowly diffused to the surroundings.

All the barberry silk was filled into the stone mill, and Xu Yi took a sieve and put a plastic bag on the bottom of the sieve. In order to catch the sifted barberry powder.

Xu Yi collected the ground barberry powder and dried it in it, and poured the coarser barberry particles on the sieve back into the stone mill to continue grinding. It wasn't until the clean-up was completed that the plastic bag was filled with half a bag of barberry powder.

Lifted the bag and weighed it, it looked like it was almost two catties.

Xu Yi reached into the bag and picked up some yellow barberry powder and twisted it gently, the feel was slightly astringent but there was no obvious graininess, and then he nodded with satisfaction.

Taking a cup of boiling water, Xu Yi twisted a small pinch of yellow barberry powder and threw it into the water.

The light powder floats on the surface of the water in a lump of water, and wisps of bright yellow are produced from the place where the water meets the barberry, and the filaments are pulled out in the water, and these filaments quickly spread, dyeing the water in the cup pale yellow.

Xu Yi curled up his fingers and flicked the wall of the cup, and the clump of yellow barberry quickly dispersed, absorbing water, slowly precipitating, and settling down at the bottom of the cup, the color of the water in the cup became more and more thick, like a glass of beer without foam.

I took a small sip of the cup, which was slightly sticky and slippery, and after swallowing, the root of the tongue was a little sweet, and there was only a unique fragrance of barberry in the mouth.

Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction, this time it was really done, the quality of the barberry is absolutely fine, and there should be no problem with the effect.

After cleaning up, Xu Yi looked at the tea leaves and shrugged his shoulders, and went to simply bag and put all the seasonings, coffee beans and other things that had been dried well, and checked the newly dried ones.

Then he sat there in a daze, and for a moment felt that there was nothing to do.

When he was glancing around, Xu Yi suddenly saw the small melon field, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue and walk there with the basket.

I haven't looked at these melons since I picked them that day, although it's only been a few days, but a few months have passed in the space, and I don't know what these melons are like.

There was no need to go to the ground, Xu Yi looked at the situation in the melon field with a wry smile.

The previously verdant melon seedlings have become yellow at this time, and they are spread out in a mess, and it is impossible to tell which is the watermelon vine and which is the melon seedling.

On the ground between the vines are also scattered with some white melons and dark green watermelons.

Xu Yi approached and bent down to pick up a melon.

The melon was completely ripe, and when Xu Yi picked it up, the melon in the back fell off silently.

The size of the melon is almost the same as when I ate it before, but the feel is getting softer and softer, and after looking closely, Xu Yi found that the flesh inside the melon skin seems to be a little transparent.

Sniffing it under your nose, the melon exudes an alluring sweet smell, even stronger than the last time I picked it.

Xu Yi looked around and found that there must be at least one or two hundred melons in this field, and it would definitely not work if they were to be thrown here.

Fortunately, I found it early, and then put it down like this, maybe one day this melon will crack with a bang, and this kind of seed will definitely splash everywhere.

In that case, no matter what is planted here, a large number of melons may come out, and I will have to work hard to clean them up.

Isn't that another shortcoming in space?

Xu Yi thought wildly, his hands and feet did not stop, and he gently picked up these melons and put them in the basket.

He didn't dare to put too much in the basket at once. This melon is too soft. It's too hard to toss.

Xu Yi didn't doubt it at all. If you fill the basket, you are afraid that the melons under the basket may be crushed.

So he only loaded a dozen of them in the basket at a time, and after piling two layers under the basket, he carried them back into the bamboo plaque.

After going back and forth more than ten times, Xu Yi picked up all the melons in the field, and then he was ready to clean up those watermelons.

Grab a watermelon next to you and pull it off the vine, such a thick watermelon skin, I'm afraid that even a kick may not be able to crack. It's okay to be simple and crude.

Xu Yi didn't have any illusions in his heart, the melons were all virtuous, and the watermelons were 100% ripe.

Of course, this watermelon still looks like it is covered with white frost, and under the white frost is still the green skin that has been dug up and cool, and it is impossible to distinguish the good from the bad from the skin.

Xu Yi stretched out his hand to hold down the watermelon, and slapped the watermelon twice with his other hand, and heard a banging sound, which was empty and without any texture.

grabbed it and weighed it, such a big watermelon looked like it had to be at least ten pounds and eight pounds. But in fact, it weighs only five or six pounds.

Xu Yi knew that this watermelon was really ripe, if it was cut with a knife. It must be hollow inside.

Xu Yi was not ambiguous, he touched the melons along the vine, and picked all the watermelons in one go.

Although there are early and late melons, Xu Yi found that these watermelons are still about the same size, and there is basically no big difference, just like pouring out of a mold.

The watermelons were all put together, and Xu Yi counted more than forty of them, piling up a swarthy hill on the ground.

After pulling out all the melon seedlings and piling them up, Xu Yi carried two watermelons and moved them to the edge of the stove.

After moving all the watermelons back, Xu Yi found an iron bucket and put it on the edge of the stove, and brought a watermelon and put it on the cutting board to split it.

Sure enough, the color of the melon inside the watermelon is still red, but it has become like a ball of cotton wool, Xu Yi reached out and grabbed the "cotton wool" and shook it gently, and saw the watermelon seeds mixed in it crackling and falling down, leaving only those deflated seeds that had not been pollinated and were still white and flowery hanging on it.

After inspecting the melon seeds that were not wrapped in it, Xu Yi grabbed the watermelon skin and poured the watermelon seeds into the steel bucket next to him, and then threw the watermelon skin and melon pulp into the basket next to him.

The skin of this watermelon is thick enough, and it should be good if it is used to dry the dried watermelon, but I am not good at it, so I am too lazy to bother with it.

Xu Yi thought about it, looked up and saw the melons in the bamboo plaque, and thought that those melons were not bad, it seemed that he was a little saccharified, and it should be good to use them to dry.

After processing a few more watermelons, Xu Yi walked to the pile of melon seedlings with the basket and poured the contents of the basket on top of the pile of melon seedlings.

There are no microorganisms in the space, these things can't rot at all, the melon pulp is fine, the water is quite large, and it must be absorbed by the ground, but those melon skins are afraid that they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Don't think about being lightweight, dig a pit and bury them all, so you can hurry up.

In addition, there are so many melon seedlings, as well as the ginger and potato seedlings from the last time, not to mention that there are wood shavings on the edge of the workbench, and I don't want to burn them all at once, and it will be too uncomfortable to get smoke and dust everywhere.

After processing all the watermelons, Xu Yi went out of the space to pick up a few buckets of tap water, cleaned all the watermelon seeds, and poured out most of the buckets of black, oily, large and full watermelon seeds.

Xu Yi carried a bucket and poured the watermelon seeds into the bamboo plaque to dry, and some of these watermelon seeds were left as seeds, and the extra ones could be kept for fried melon seeds.

But after being busy for so long a day, Xu Yi is really tired, and he really doesn't want to toss those melons anymore.

The weather is hot, and the watermelons and muskmelons still have to be planted again, at most this time I remember to harvest them in time.

Thinking like this, Xu Yi grabbed a few watermelon seeds, went to get some melon seeds, re-selected a piece of land next to it, and planted them.

As long as you finish your busy work at noon tomorrow, you will be able to harvest the first batch of melons and fruits! (To be continued......
