Chapter 10 Red Lotus Powder

After sending the red lotus to Zhao Yuanchao, Huang Guihua didn't think that when she should send something to Zhao Yuanchao, the Li family was already preparing to make red lotus powder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The yield of red moiss is very high, and if it is not stored well, it is very easy to spoil. Because of the large amount of red roots, it is difficult for the production team to preserve. Therefore, after the brigade has left the seeds, these red plants will be distributed to each family early every year. Let each family find their own way to save it, if it's rotten or broken, it's your own business, no one else's fault.

The Li family shared a total of almost 1,500 catties of red roots, which can be regarded as the most food that the Li family gets.

In order to preserve the red roots, every household basically has a cellar. However, this cellar is not a panacea, and it is not impossible to put red lotus in the cellar, but it only slows down the speed of red vetch decay.

After the red lotus was divided, Li Qianghua and his eldest brother Li Jianguo picked the red lotus to their own home. And Huang Guihua and they cleaned up the cellar.

The cellar at home is not very large, and usually only one person can enter the cellar. This cellar has not been used for half a year, and there is a lot of mud in the cellar, and if you want to use it now, you have to clean up this mud.

Cleaning up this cellar was done by Huang Guihua and Lin Chunhua. And Li Mei and the others selected the red lotus that Li Qianghua and they picked back.

It's a simple matter, just pick out all the good, undug red roots. The small, or dug ones, are set aside. These good red weeds will be put into the cellar later, and if you don't choose, the good and bad ones will be put in directly, so that it will be useless at all. So, you have to choose.

The good ones are stored in the cellar, which are dug up, and they can't be eaten for a while. The Li family is generally made into red lotus powder, and it is not only the Li family, but basically many families in every household in the village will do something like the Li family.

After storing about seven or eight hundred in the cellar, the remaining Li family is going to use it all to make red vetch powder.

It is also a very troublesome thing to make red vetch flour, first wash the red vetch with water, and then you have to dig up the mud pit where there is a mud pit, otherwise the red vetch flour will be made and there will be sand when you eat it. You have to be very careful about doing this.

After all this is done, it is necessary to cut the red lotus into small pieces, at this time there is no machine, you can only use a stone mill to push, so at this time it is easier to cut into small pieces, and push with a stone mill.

There were many people in the family, so it took almost a morning to wash the red lotus and cut it into small pieces. After eating lunch, I have to use a stone mill to grind the red lettuce into a red lettuce pulp, and filter it, and after doing all this, it is almost dark.

After lunch, Huang Guihua took Lin Chunhua, Li Mei, and Li Qing to the team to grind, while Li Qianghua and Li Jianguo, father and son, went to fetch water first. Because a lot of water will be needed to filter it later.

When Li Qianghua and the others picked up the water and came over to help, Huang Guihua asked the two fathers and sons to push and grind, and Li Qing to grind. And she took Lin Chunhua and Li Mei home to prepare for filtering, if it wasn't arranged, it would definitely not be finished after dark.

Find a cloth from home and use it for straining. This cloth should leak water and not slag, in fact, this thing is quite easy to find, and the cloth used by Li's family is the cloth that other people's families have made filial piety. This cloth is a relative's family died, and the Li family went to pack the child (run to the funeral) and gave a gift, and the host's family would be completely distant and close to you with filial piety clothes.

It's not a good thing, and it can't be done otherwise. Generally, it is not used to make insoles, or it is sewn like the Li family, and it is used to filter things.

This cloth should not be less than one meter square, and two strong wooden sticks should be made into a cross shape, and the four corners of the cloth should be tied to the four corners of the cross wooden frame, which must be strong. At this point, find another place where you can bear the weight, drop the cross, and tie a rope to the beam. Place a large basin under the cloth. The position of the cross is high on the chest or abdomen of the person, use a spoon or a small basin to scoop the pulp into the middle of the leaky cloth, let the pulp flow through the leaky cloth to the basin below, shake the cross, let the pulp drain as much as possible, after the dregs in the leaky cloth reach a certain weight and size, pour it on the slag little by little with water, and then continue to shake, wash the pulp into the basin below, so that after repeating several times and waiting for the slag in the cloth to become white, you can take something to scoop out the slag inside.

Filter out the water, put it aside in a basin or bucket, don't touch it, and wait for it to settle on its own. The Li family didn't have so many things to pack these, so they still went to many families in the village to borrow them.

"Meimei, you come to see how I live this red lotus. Huang Guihua was doing things in her hands, and she didn't forget to bring Li Mei to her side to teach her.

"Mom, it's so simple, I need you to teach me. "It's not Li Mei who is talking big, because this has no technical content at all, so she doesn't have to be clumsy at all this time. Just be careful not to spill the red lettuce in the brie.

"Then you can try it. ”

"Try it, try it. "It's hard for her. Li Mei took it directly from Huang Guihua's hand and slowly began to shake. I haven't done it in years, but it's still easy to do.

"Okay, don't say you're doing things, it's really like that. Huang Guihua couldn't help but nod when she saw that Li Mei was doing a good job.

That is, it was not difficult for her.

"After the noodles are made, let's send some to Xiao Zhao. "There is something at home, Huang Guihua can't forget to send some to Zhao Yuanchao.

"Mom, I think it's better to forget it this time. He didn't fire alone, and he couldn't do anything if you sent it to him. "I just sent red dried rice to Zhao Yuanchao, and now I want to send vermicelli again, Li Mei is really afraid that she will send her whole home to Zhao Yuanchao that day.

"Why didn't he fire alone?" Huang Guihua muttered helplessly. "I don't know when he will come back to visit his relatives, the sooner you get married, the sooner you can settle my heart. ”

"If you want to get married, you have to wait for him to come back. Since writing a letter to Zhao Yuanchao, Li Mei found that her skin had also thickened, and when she mentioned her marriage to Zhao Yuanchao to Huang Guihua, she was not as awkward as before. Maybe it's because her skin has thickened, maybe it's because she let go of her brother-in-law's burden and treats Zhao Yuanchao as a real man......

"I know that, too. Today, when you get married to Xiao Zhao, next year you will have your second sister and Qingguo, our family has been married for two consecutive years in the past two years, and there will definitely be a famine next year. "There are many children, and parents are also worried.

"Otherwise, I will marry my second sister together, so that our family will have less famine. Li Mei said casually.

Li Mei spoke casually, she didn't care about this at all, but Huang Guihua listened to it. The two sisters got married on the same day, which is also quite good. It's just that she didn't do this alone, and she had to discuss it with the old man.
