On the sixty-first day, new problems and new discoveries (second two) add more to the people who have smoothed the edges and corners
This?
This is really arrowroot!
I never thought that I would see it here, and if it weren't for its resemblance to Tiger Piran, it would not have been recognizable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are many kinds of arrowroot, I have seen a lot of them, some are ornamental, some are used for planting, and when I was on a business trip in Guangzhou, I also went to the plantation over there to see it.
So when I saw this oval, dark green and light green leaves just now, I was guessing if it was arrowroot, this thing is said to be able to make starch, but I have only eaten arrowroot duck soup, boiled broth, arrowroot powder really has never eaten, let alone how to make it into powder.
But if the harvest is really a lot, I can consider trying to support them with arrowroot flour, and I can try a few more times if I have a lot of money, just like weaving a rattan basket, if I try more, there is always a possibility of success, and in the end I am not successful?
Maybe it's not the right time to dig, its tuber is not very big, pagoda-shaped, shaped like a bamboo shoot, after the soil is wiped off, the tuber is pale yellow, only finger long, I have eaten before but it is as long as two fingers, when you eat it, you can cut it into pieces and make soup.
I don't have this thing in my hometown, and the reason why I can remember it so clearly is purely because of its taste, which I haven't experienced in any other food.
I believe that anyone who has eaten it will remember the taste, which is refreshing in the mouth, but after chewing, it is full of starchy taste, and it is completely powdery. And it's cooked with duck soup, and the whole umami will be integrated into this little arrowroot segment.
The fragrance continues to overflow as you chew, and the feeling of powder will stick between your teeth, the base of your tongue, and the upper jaw.
Each time this memory brought me great pain, but this time I was thankfully full at noon, so I didn't go hungry again.
I was conquered by it, so my curiosity led me to the local plantation to see it, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized it, and it was exactly what I thought in my heart that I had planted willows and willows in the shade.
If there are only a few, of course, it is too little, but what if this one is all of them?
Is it enough?
Not far away, in the gap between the canopy of the big tree, where the sun shines, there is a large area of identical arrowroot!
If they were all dug up, I guess they would be more than a hundred pounds, right? I can't estimate exactly, they are not like the fruit of a tree, you can tell how many there are at a glance, they are all buried deep in the earth, and you can only see them after digging.
I don't know when the best time to harvest these arrowpotatoes is, but my old plantation farmer told me when the best time to harvest them. But I didn't listen carefully at first, because it didn't matter to me at the time, and I didn't think I was going to harvest it.
But fortunately, there are not many of them, and there are a lot of them, and maybe there will be more in the distance......
Dig it!
I dug until the sun set red and the woods began to darken.
I didn't notice it when I was busy, and as soon as I stopped, my waist was very sore, and I almost couldn't straighten up, and I was hunched for almost five minutes before I finally stood upright.
"Alas......" looked at the pile of large and small arrowroot wrapped in mud in the plastic basket, I was still very satisfied, but the fatigue was also real.
After putting the plastic basket on my back, I was ready to go back to rest, and after an afternoon of rough work, my stomach began to make noise again and signal that I needed to eat.
It feels strange to me, as if I haven't eaten for a long time after the last meal, so I'm hungry again?
What to eat for dinner is another headache, not only have to think about yourself, but also have to ensure that Xiao Hei can eat enough......
Along the way, my brain didn't stop at all, and I also gave a lot of suggestions, and all kinds of foods that I could make were thought of, and even several of them were very complicated, such as pasta, dumplings, etc.
I should be able to make it, but I don't want to spend too much time every time, so I haven't thought about it, especially today, I'm really tired, maybe I'll get some gnocchi when I get back to the tree house, add a few arrowroot potatoes to eat, Xiao Hei should be okay with it......
As soon as I got back to the yard, Xiao Hei rushed again, but instead of pounced, he grabbed my trouser leg and pulled me into the house......
I was amazed, did it find something, or did it come back with something good?
As soon as I entered the lower level of the treehouse, I saw a gray, fat rabbit lying there, big and full of meat......
But I was really tired, and it was getting dark, so I really didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to rest! So I put the plastic basket down and sat down on the stool. But I couldn't stand Xiao Hei's coquettishness, and its dog head kept rubbing against my legs, looking at me with blank eyes.
"All right! you win!" I patted it on the head, and threw the rabbit into the vine basket I had braided earlier, along with five or six arrowroots.
What else can I do? I can only go and wash! This guy was very accurate, and as soon as I finished cleaning, it was getting dark, and I stumbled all the way back to the treehouse.
This time I didn't roast the rabbit leg again, but chopped the whole rabbit into pieces and boiled the soup!
The arrowroot can't be put too early, and after a hint of oil broth surfaces on top of the rabbit broth, I put these cut arrowpotatoes down.
When cooking, the aroma is not very strong, only a faint aroma of meat wafting out from the gap in the lid of the pot.
After smoldering for a few minutes, sprinkle with salt, and this rabbit arrowroot soup is done.
I remember before, when I first heard the name arrowroot, I thought it was the same as taro, but I was wrong, it looks like a small bamboo shoot, some like an enlarged pagoda dish, and some like a large silkworm......
Of course, the little black who smelled the fragrance was excited, and it still walked around the fire five or six times, and the soot from its tail was scattered, although I stopped it a few times, but it didn't work, and in a blink of an eye, while I wasn't paying attention, it began to walk again.
Of course, I also know very well that it will not stop until it has eaten its food, and as soon as the pot of soup has cooled, I will serve the half of the soup that belongs to it.
The world finally fell silent, and the soot began to fall slowly as the little black stopped......
Although the rabbit arrowroot soup is not as delicious as the duck soup, it is not much different, I finished eating the arrowroot and the soup, and there is still a lot of rabbit meat left, so I can't eat it and pour it directly to Xiao Hei...... When I went to the upper floor, it was still eating......
Maybe you can try it another day, can this arrowroot be made into arrowroot powder...... In that case, the storage time can be greatly extended......
And such a large piece of arrowroot, is it really wild? Could it be that someone else planted it?
If it was planted? Who is it?
Could it be ......?
In my thoughts, tiredness struck......
