Chapter 174: Leaking Powder
"Big boar, come on!"
"Pig Xiaoba, come on!"
The babies stopped playing, and they all followed the pigs and yelled to cheer up the wild boars. It scared Li Xiaopang enough: "It's all quiet and noisy, don't whole the wild boar!" ”
It is also rare for tourists to see such a spectacle, and there are many discussions on their lips. One of the old tourists took pictures and said, "I'm willing to go to the Black Blind Tun to wander around, every time there is a surprise!" ”
At this time, Li Xiaopang's shouting sounded again: "Don't just look at it, everyone, hurry up and pick up potatoes-"
So, the wild boar arched in front, and the tourists followed to pick it up, but it was the small four-wheeled and ox plough, and only the people in the tun were busy working, and the tourists were strange, and they all followed behind the wild boar's buttocks.
Picking it up, I gradually saw the problem: although the wild boars worked harder, the potatoes they turned out were punctured a lot by the fangs, and some were trampled by the pig's hooves and were damaged.
This is also inevitable, and I want the horse to run, and I want the horse not to eat grass, how can there be such a good thing. Li Xiaopang told everyone to pick up the broken ones separately into a pile, and use them to reward the wild boars in a while.
The boar is not a machine after all, and after arching for more than an hour, the speed slows down significantly. There are even some unruly ones, and they have already begun to gnaw potatoes in their mouths. Seeing this, Li Xiaopang hurriedly asked Yaya to organize this group of wild boars to rest, and the pile of tattered potatoes was quickly snatched up by the wild boars.
The tourists also got a short rest, followed the children in twos and threes, came to the ash heap, and pulled out the baked potatoes with small sticks. The potatoes wrapped in tin foil are best baked, and when the foil is opened, the aroma comes out. Break open the big potato, the inside is rustling, and it looks quite noodle at a glance. Take a small bite and your mouth will be full of sweetness. Everyone was arguing: "Let's eat boiled potatoes at noon!" ”
Of course, this wish can be satisfied, not only boiled potatoes, but also some green bud rice in the cauldron, and thick slices of noodles, carrots, beet gnocchi cut into thick slices, etc., full of a large pot, and then steamed some eggs stewed, you can eat it, you can definitely make the belly bulge.
Of course, Li Xiaopang's family also got this at noon, and there was a bumper harvest, of course they had to eat harvest vegetables. When eating, one person has a large bowl, mash the potatoes in the bowl first, then pull some coriander, tear some shredded green onions and throw them in, and then mix them with eggs and stew. A big potato is full of a big bowl, holding it and pulling it in your mouth, which is delicious and enjoyable. The only downside is that it's easier to digest and not much to fight hunger.
This year's potatoes are sweet and pasty, and the taste is amazing. After tasting it, many tourists have booked one after another, dozens of catties and hundreds of catties. Anyway, potatoes are a common dish, and the recipes are more varied and easy to keep. The most important thing is that the potatoes in the black blind tun are not subject to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and they are healthy to eat.
Some tourists are skeptical: without chemical fertilizer, potatoes can grow so big and produce so much?
There is no need for the black blind people to explain, some old tourists refuted them: "We come every week, from planting to harvesting, we really don't see the application of chemical fertilizer or anything, but when the land is prepared in spring, there is no shortage of farm fertilizer." ”
In order to hide people's eyes, Li Xiaopang organized a lot of people to transport farm fertilizer to the field during the beginning of spring. Of course, there's a lot of dirt in it.
Although it is not yet possible to calculate the exact yield of potatoes, these old farmers have it in their hearts. After putting all the potatoes that came out of the morning into the sack, the village chief's uncle estimated that he couldn't believe it, so he didn't dare to say anything. After all the potatoes were raised, looking at the hemp bags on the ground, several people got together to logarithmic, and then came to a conclusion: the yield per mu is definitely close to 5,000 catties!
If it was put in the past, the production capacity per mu was seven or eight hundred catties, and thousands of catties were considered high, but this time it has increased several times, no wonder everyone can't believe it.
"This mu yield is terrifying, why does it seem to be back to *** at that time?" Li Da understood the rush to find a point to put the satellite.
Everyone studied for a while, and finally the village chief's uncle put down his words: In the future, we will use more farm fertilizer!
With the vigorous development of the breeding industry in the village, of course, the source of farm fertilizer does not have to worry, chickens, ducks, geese, cows, horses and sheep are large and small manure machines, as long as everyone is diligent, these lands in the black blind Zitun will definitely be able to use farm fertilizer.
The yield of potatoes was quite unexpected, which also made the purchase wishes of those tourists satisfied. As for the price, it is still on the market, roughly five cents a catty. When the tourists leave, the cargo box of the tourist bus is basically filled with bags of potatoes.
The potato harvest was abundant, and of course the flour mill was opened. As soon as they heard that they were going to leak their own powder, the people of the black blind tun were happy: they hadn't cleaned this thing for many years.
Flour noodles and vermicelli are processed from potatoes, which are called leaky noodles in rural areas. The place of processing is the flour mill. Similarly, there are tofu mills, oil mills, mills, etc., which are basically small handmade workshops that every tunzi has. But with the development of the times, these small workshops were increasingly replaced by large processing plants.
However, small workshops also have the benefits of small workshops, handmade, although there is more waste of manpower, and the production capacity is limited, but it is better than lively, and the things that you get out of your own can rest assured. Take vermicelli and noodles as an example, the potato starch on the market is whiter than the other, and there may be how many chemicals are added to it.
As soon as he heard that he was going to leak powder, the leaker in the village immediately took the initiative to find him, and finally he was able to show his skills again.
"Uncle Snot, you haven't forgotten all the skills of leaking powder, have you?" Li Xiaopang looked at the bald little old man in front of him and joked in his mouth.
The leaker's name is Li Youliang, and he is from the same generation as the village chief's uncle. Because he suffers from chronic rhinitis, he always has a clear nose in his nose, and he only notices it when he flows out, and he sucks it up and pulls it back, so he is called "Li Da Nose".
"How can I do it, I just have this little bit of craftsmanship, and if I don't pick it up, I can only bring it into the coffin." Li Da snot is more funny, talking and talking, the snot crosses the river, and he sucks hard.
Seeing this, the village chief's uncle couldn't help but hehe twice: "You didn't throw away this craft, doesn't this leak powder every day?" ”
Everyone laughed along, and the runny nose is really similar to the leaky vermicelli.
The reason why the black blind man wants to leak his own powder is also Li Xiaopang's proposition. First, there is a bumper harvest of potatoes, and the leakage usually uses those small potatoes with balls and eggs; Second, there are more and more tourists in the tunzi, and the consumption of noodles and noodles is also large.
Just do it, it has always been the style of the black blind man, and the production team found three long empty houses as flour mills. I rummaged in the warehouse for a while, and found most of the tools used to leak powder before, and the ones that were missing could be processed by myself.
At the same time as the autumn harvest, I took the time to set up the stove and set up the cauldron, and the flour mill was officially opened. In the next two months, it can leak powder, so there is no hurry, only ten people are sent to Big Snot, which is enough to be busy.
Tourists are also looking forward to it, because the vast majority of people have never seen the process of leaking powder. And those who are old are also looking forward to it.
When the fan shop opened, tourists from Wuyang and Wuyang all came here to see the excitement. While watching, he said, "Good guy, this cauldron is too big, I can go in and swim—"
"If you have the ability, jump in!" The two tourists next to him made a gesture to carry the one in the pot, and the hot water in the cauldron was splashing.
Li Da's snot now has a place to use, so his voice is also extraordinarily loud: "Flash, flash, don't burn." Let's use this cauldron of 100 seals, and we used this to eat big pot rice before! ”
The unit of the iron pot is more special, and the "seal" is used, which is generally used by individuals at home, that is, 10 or 12 seals, which is enough. The diameter of the upper mouth of the 10-print pot is 70 cm, the diameter of the 12-print pot is 75 cm, and the diameter of the 100-print cauldron is 130 cm, which is indeed a bit ridiculous.
In advance, the potatoes have been washed, and then after grinding, rinsing, squeezing, and precipitation, a lump of wet starch is formed, each of which weighs hundreds of pounds, and the color is milky white, which is called white flour noodles; There is also a by-product that contains more slag and is darker in color, which is called black powder noodles.
It doesn't matter if it's a black spot, as long as it doesn't get a tooth. Black noodles can also be eaten, and my favorite way to do it is to make a piece of soup. The soup is boiled in the pot, and then several people knead the black powder noodles in the pot into various shapes, which can be kneaded into strips, can be shot into small pieces, or pinched into other shapes, and then go down to the pot. When cooked, it's slimy, slippery and firm.
You can also wrap black flour dry food, preferably with sauerkraut and stuffing, and a layer of crust on the bread. After steaming, they are dark and shiny, and they are quite fragrant to eat.
In addition to this thing produced in the powder mill, if you are hungry, you can also make it yourself. Li Xiaopang had done it before, and he first had to make a potato mill with iron chips. Use iron nails to chisel out small eyes on the iron sheet, and the back can be used to grind potatoes, grind the potatoes into slurry, and after precipitation, it will be similar to black powder, but it should be slightly whiter than that.
It is much more troublesome to make vermicelli, first thicken the wet starch, and then put the flour in it, which is equivalent to mixing noodles. This is the most tiring, and non-strong labor cannot do it. Knead the flour noodles so that they are not dry or thin, hold them with your hands, and let the flour sags naturally between your fingers.
Then pour the mixed starch into a large colander with 9 eyes and 6 eyes, and put it on top of the boiling cauldron. The starch liquid slowly slips through the pores of the colander into the pot.
When it encounters boiling water in the pot, it quickly takes shape, and a round vermicelli is made. Then pick it out and cool it down, put it on a shelf and dry it naturally. After it has dried thoroughly, it is considered to be finished.
The tourists were eye-opening, and they were thinking about buying some noodles to go back, but they found that a few more cunning tourists had already eaten them.
In the noodle shop, the best thing to eat is, of course, the roasted rat. Even Li Xiaopang and many of them are waiting here, just for this mouthful!
