On the sixty-second day, try (below) for the knife song ~ withered leaves
This method is not simple, but it is more suitable for doing it now than the method of drying in the sun before. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because when the weather is good, I have more things to do, and on a rainy day like this, it's best to kill time by doing things.
And it was precisely because I could do it on such a rainy day that this plan finally won my favor.
I washed about five catties of arrowroot first, and after counting, this large basket of arrowroot is only fifteen to twenty catties at most, which is not particularly much.
For this attempt, five catties were enough, and after washing these arrownames, I said that after each of them was peeled and rooted, I washed them all again with a basin of water.
There is not much water in this bucket, I haven't fetched water for several days, and now there is less than half a bucket left, and if I just eat and drink, it will be enough for me to use for several days.
However, the current method also needs a basin of water, after scooping out this basin of water, the water in the bucket should be enough for three days, of course, it is enough, even if you go to catch some rainwater, as long as it boils, it will not be bad.
No matter what, don't think about it so much, if this method doesn't work out, then I'd rather go to the upper level of the treehouse and drink honey lemon tea, watch the rain scene, breathe in the fresh air, and spend this damn rainy day lazily.
……
I watched a documentary about sweet potatoes before, and that documentary was mainly about sweet potatoes, about all the dishes and processing methods that it can be made, and there is also a primitive method of making potato flour in the mountains, which I thought was amazing at the time, so I watched it carefully.
Unexpectedly, this kind of inadvertent knowledge can also give me some inspiration, which I never thought of before.
Following the process that I can still remember, I started the production.
Cutting these washed arrowroot into slices with a knife, and then stacking several slices on top of each other and cutting into tiny shredded arrowroot is not only a technical job, but also a physical job.
I've been cutting for a few hours, but the five catties of arrowroot haven't been cut yet, and there should be about one-tenth of it, which is almost half a catty.
My arm is already sore and numb, if I say chopping, it's relatively simple, but I'm cutting, and I have to cooperate with both hands at the same time when cutting, otherwise I can't finish it. I was almost overwhelmed by the bend of my waist, but I still persevered.
No, I want to see my success, I want to be right, and although I'm not completely sure, I still choose to believe in myself.
Finally, after cutting for more than 30 minutes, I finally finished shredding these arrowroots, which were originally like small bamboo shoots, and I cut them into small filaments.
I soaked them in a basin of water, and I stirred them with chopsticks to make them come into contact with the water in the basin as much as possible.
In order to make every side and every part of them fully in contact with the water, I never stopped stirring.
Stir until the water in the basin turns the color of rice soup, and then stop.
Seeing that the water had changed color, the heart that had been afraid of failure finally came down a little, and it seemed that all this was still going according to my plan, and there were no accidents.
"Whew" I exhaled a long breath and took a few deep breaths, my waist and hands were sore, and it was time to rest.
Lunch was also done during the break, there was no accident, it was just three juicy fruits with Xiao Hei alone, too much to eat, greasy. Although I really don't want to eat, I really don't want to spend too much time preparing the ingredients when my back hurts, and when it's finished, I'm in a good mood, and if I succeed, I can treat myself and Xiao Hei at night.
After lunch, I was a little sleepy, but I didn't finish it, I always felt like I had something on my mind, I knew my character very well, once I had something on my mind, it was hard to fall asleep, instead of lying down and thinking over and over again, it was better to rest after doing it.
I fished out the shredded arrowroot in the water, and when I fished it out, I used chopsticks to clip it, and every time I tried to let the water on it drip out, and then, these arrowroot shreds that had been cut into thin strips were cut by me again, and a shredded arrowroot was cut into several pieces by me, and after all the cuts, I poured them all into the basin.
Again, keep stirring and let them come into close contact with the water in the basin.
Ten minutes later, it was finally completed, and only the last step remained, which was to use chopsticks to clip out all these tiny arrowroot sticks, and complete this step with the combination of eyesight, endurance, and physical strength.
Now the water has become whiter, has begun to settle, I used chopsticks in the basin to rotate a few times, the water in the basin also began to rotate in the direction of the chopsticks, after a few turns, I lifted the chopsticks, looking at the basin of rotating water, the bottom began to have some white sediment that looked like flocculent, they were gathering in the middle, precipitating.
"It should take some time. "Looking at the progress in the basin, I judge.
Now we have to dispose of these small arrowroot sticks, they are all food, but they must not be wasted.
As for how to do it? Actually, I already had a plan in mind.
The most classic thing about this arrowroot is that it is made of starch! If you have eaten this food, you will know that you can't taste other flavors at all, and it is just a starch aggregate slowly, so I will try to make it into arrowroot flour in the traditional way.
After boiling, this pot of boiled arrowroot looks good, and the soup is even a little sticky.
When I pressed all the arrowroot sticks in the pot with a spoon, the whole pot changed, well, it looked a bit like lotus root flour, and a little like white sesame paste......
It was absolutely unsightly, and even a little unappetizing, I tasted it, and although it wasn't particularly delicious, I was still okay with it.
But after sprinkling some salt and mixing some lard, the whole taste changes drastically......
These two licked bare pots are me and Xiao Hei's, and they are really delicious, especially the things that are like pots on the edges, crunchy, but they will melt again soon after entering the mouth, just like the seaweed that I have eaten before.
After looking at it, the water basin was all settled, and I began to use a spoon to scoop off the water on it spoonful, spoonful by spoon, until it reached some of the top of the sediment, and when this step was completed, my task was only to wait.
After taking a pot lid and covering the pot, today's task was finally completed...... I need to wait for the rest of the water in the basin to dry up, as soon as the water evaporates, the starch that has settled in it should solidify, and then the solidification will be taken out and crushed to use as arrowroot powder.
Of course, I remember on the show, they would crush the solidification and sift it again, but I didn't have the utensils to sift it, and it wasn't necessary, it was pretty much fine......
……
I was woken up by the wind several times during the night......
Is it going to be windy again?
Oh my God, I'm so sleepy......
In a daze, I fell asleep again......
