Chapter 672: Trial Effect of the Drying Room
"Lin Zeng, what are you eating?" Jiang Hua came out of the studio, pinched the back of his neck, and saw Lin Zeng sitting cross-legged at the low table in the small hall, pinching a red gadget from a small white porcelain bowl on the table, putting it in his mouth, looking at his expression, he felt that it tasted good.

"Dried strawberries, you taste them. Lin Zeng pushed the small bowl in the direction of the river painting.
The dried flesh, which is about one-third the size of a strawberry, fills the entire small bowl, looking bright red and slightly wrinkled, but it seems to be more vivid than fresh fruit.
Jiang Hua picked up a dried fruit, observed it carefully, and found that the small sesame-like particles on the surface, smelling the faint fragrance of dried strawberries, were exactly the same as the strawberry fruit of the goddess of harvest.
Put it in your mouth and chew it carefully, the flesh is elastic, slightly sticky, chewy, and the texture is different from that of juicy fresh fruit, making it perfect for daily snacks.
One bite was not enjoyable, Jiang Hua took the initiative to reach out and grab a handful, and put them in his mouth one by one to chew.
"How is it?" Lin Zeng took out a sealed box from under the table and handed it to Jiang Hua. The sealed box is about two litres in size and is not transparent.
"The taste is different from the dried strawberries I've tasted," Jiang Hua put them in his mouth one after another, and the more he chewed them, the more flavorful they became, "It's not dry, and the flesh has a gelatinous texture, not like dried fruits, but like delicious dried sweet potatoes." Is it more delicious than ordinary dried cranberries, or raisins, and is it made by drying strawberries from the goddess of harvest?"
"Yes. Lin Zeng motioned to Jiang Hua to open the sealed box and take a look.
Jiang Hua lifted the lid of the sealed box, and saw a row of plastic bags neatly placed in the box. Inside each bag is brightly colored jerky.
Judging from the appearance, there are raisins of various colors, emerald green, ruby red, orange yellow, as well as the dried flesh of blueberries, and the black wrinkled skin, which is not eye-catching. The largest is the dried flesh of the kiwifruit, which is turquoise in color and sliced and dried.
"Won't you taste them all?" Lin Zeng looked at Jiang Hua's expression of looking left and right, reluctant to do anything, and thought it was very interesting, and then encouraged her to eat.
"It has to be. Jiang Hua immediately unwrapped a plastic bag, took out a piece of dried kiwi fruit, and put it in his mouth.
"Well, it's not sour at all, it's very sweet. Jiang Hua praised from the bottom of his heart.
"A special method of rapid drying, on the basis of rapid drying, almost completely preserves all the nutrients of the pulp, even the most easily lost vitamin C, there is not much loss. This is the information obtained in Lin Zeng's data, "The dried pulp removes the moisture from the flesh and is more resistant to preservation than fresh fruit." Even during the spring rainy season, when it is most perishable, it can still be stored at room temperature for at least half a year. If it is a low-temperature and dry environment, it will be stored for a longer time. ”
"Your drying room can be used?" Jiang Hua's eyes widened in surprise. She only knew that Lin Zeng had been working on some things that others couldn't understand for a week, looking for plants, drawing complex patterns, and tossing under an old lychee tree.
Unexpectedly, in just one week, the drying room she needed appeared.
"Yes. Lin Zeng nodded, affirming the news. "This year, if you dry the bamboo shoots, you don't need to dry and put them away every day, no matter how much it is, put it directly into the drying room, and you will soon get delicious dried bamboo shoots. ”
What Lin Zeng said was very fast, really very fast.
Although the speed of releasing heat is not fast, it absorbs the energy of the sun every moment and a tree blooms, so it has a very fast baking speed under the warm fire.
Even in rainy weather, it still does not affect its working effect.
"Great, take me there. "Jiang Hua is most interested in this kind of thing. With the drying room, she can grow all kinds of plants without worrying about too much produce and going to waste. There is also the chicken jerky that Po and Saike love to eat, and it is not necessary to use a narrow dryer, and it is done in batches.
When you go to the drying room, you must experiment with the drying effect and learn how to use the drying room.
Jiang Hua thought about it and decided to take a processed bitter bamboo shoot from the freezer room of the refrigerator to the drying room to bake, and then make dried bitter bamboo shoots.
Bitter bamboo shoots don't look at the bitter taste and numbness, but the nutritional value is very high. Especially according to the folk saying, clear the liver and clear the eyes, although bitter but beautiful. It has a crisp and tender taste, white color with emerald green, fragrant and slightly bitter, sweet and smooth, and is a first-class mountain delicacy.
According to Jiang Hua, the sweet bamboo shoots in the same season are only four or five yuan per catty, while the price of bitter bamboo shoots is four or five times that of it.
Bitter bamboo shoots grow in spring and summer. A few days ago, when Jiang Hua went up the mountain, he saw a sharp bitter bamboo shoot, so he folded it casually, and when he went down the mountain, it was a basket full of sharp and tender bamboo shoots.
Jiang Hua had to peel off the bamboo shoot shells, soak them in salted water, and then freeze them in the refrigerator.
Lin Zeng saw that many of the ingredients in Jiang Hua were treated like this, and the freezer room of a large double-door refrigerator had been crowded with all kinds of ingredients.
Lin Zeng helped Jiang Hua hold the frozen bitter bamboo shoots in the basin and came to a lychee tree closest to Jiang Hua's villa.
This lychee tree is not large, but the area under the shade of the tree is also more than 100 square meters, showing a beautiful umbrella canopy, if you don't look closely, you will think that there are ripe red lychee fruits hanging from the branches.
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that the fruits that you thought were red are actually bright little flowers, poking their heads out from between the branches and leaves of the lychee tree, making this lychee tree more beautiful than other trees.
"Come in with me. Lin Zeng tapped lightly on the trunk of the lychee tree with his backhand, and the plant wisdom from the warm fire sunflower immediately responded to him.
A circular staircase in the shape of vines, spiraling down from the tall canopy. The staircase form of the warm fire sunflower is different from the plant gym, its handrails are woven together with net-like grass blades, and the vibrant needle-point fleshy leaves of the sunflower form the staircase handrails.
The stairs are flower-shaped stairs made of blooming sunflowers, and the stairs floating in mid-air make people feel unsafe. It is only when you step on your feet that you can really feel the firm and firm vine staircase made up of flowers and leaves.
Jiang Hua walked up the staircase with Lin Zeng and touched the lychee tree curiously, feeling that this experience was very fresh.
Living in Qinghe City, Jiang Hua naturally knows that the "Plant Mother and Baby Room" and "Plant Gym" in Qinghe have been hot recently, and Jiang Hua has also run to a plant gym to experience the pleasant feeling of fitness in the trees.
Lin Zeng said that this drying room made her quickly think of those special street buildings.
This model is really the same.
Jiang Hua glanced at Lin Zeng, who was leading the way in front, and opened his mouth, but didn't ask more.
Stepping out of the staircase, Jiang Hua and Lin Zeng walked into a one-person passage, and after five or six steps, they opened a door entwined by sunflower vines, opened the door and entered, the coolness hit, and the room temperature in this room was much lower than that of the outdoors.
A large, half-opened flower grows quietly in the center of the room.
Lin Zeng carried the pot of bitter bamboo shoots, walked up to this huge sun flower, and said, "We will put the bitter bamboo shoots on the flowers, and we will be able to pick them up in thirty to sixty minutes." ”
"Thirty minutes to sixty minutes?" Jiang Hua muttered over time, more time than she could have imagined. She uses an ordinary dryer on weekdays, and it takes more than ten hours to dry these ingredients, and even more than a day if the ingredients contain a lot of moisture.
This drying room that exists on lychee trees can be more than ten times more efficient than ordinary dryers?
At this speed, it's just okay.
