Chapter 175: The Black Blind Man Breaks the Buds
"I haven't eaten this thing for many years-" Li Xiaopang took a bite of the flour rat that was burned out of paste on the outside, and the inside was a thickened cooked flour dough, sticky and kneaded into a long strip, like a fat mouse, so it was called a powder rat by everyone.
Put it on a spatula on a high fire, then reach into the pit and roast it, and it's ready to eat. Take a bite and pull it out, it is very old, very strong, and the inside is almost transparent flour jelly, fragrant, sweet and soft, and the flavor is unique. Anyway, you can't taste it at a regular restaurant or something.
Among the tourists, those who are old are also suddenly reminded of the old ice volleyball in their memory, and they remembered that when they went to the countryside to cut the queue, they could eat a pink mouse, which was almost the same as the New Year. They all have to be in good relationship to be able to taste it secretly.
So they all came together, and you asked for one, and he asked for one; Most of the young tourists have never eaten this before, and they all gather around to try it. Li Xiaopang is not the one who picks and searches, so he simply waved his hand: "Let's go first!" β
Anyone who has tasted a pink rat has even said that he is addicted. However, after the vermicelli in the big iron pot has been fished out and cooled, you can finally eat more enjoyable water vermicelli.
At this time, the vermicelli has not been dried, so it is called "gouache", put it in a large bowl, mix with chili sauce, and then sprinkle some green onion and coriander, stir a few times, bald, and eat a big bowl of gouache in three or two bites. Most people will shout, "One more bowl!" β
It's okay, the noodles can be eaten with an open belly without hurting the stomach, but if you change to dry noodles, it won't be. For a while, the sound of bald sucking vermicelli outside the flour mill was spectacular.
After eating, tourists have ordered some vermicelli and noodles. These things are made by their eyes, and absolutely no harmful substances are added, making it healthier and more reassuring to eat.
After all, it is a small workshop, the output is limited, and most of it has to be left for personal use, so the purchase amount is still controlled within a relatively small quantity.
In addition to round vermicelli, a lot of wide noodles are also processed. The shape is flat, and this is the most suitable for stew, such as the famous dish of Gada in the Northeast: pork stewed vermicelli, and the authentic one is to use wide noodles.
The flour mill is operating normally, and looking at this trend, tourists are buying enthusiastically, and they will soon be able to make some profits, Li Xiaopang is completely relieved, wondering whether to get the oil mill and the mill in the tunzi. On the one hand, you can eat what you have made yourself; On the other hand, it is to attract tourists, which is also a major feature of the Black Blind Tun.
For example, it must be more interesting for tourists to experience grinding or something; There are also various soybean oils and salad oils sold on the market, who knows if it is gutter oil. Even if it is not gutter oil, it is not very reassuring in terms of raw materials and production.
If a small workshop is built for production, although the production capacity and efficiency are a lot lower, it is just suitable for the current situation of the black blind Zitun, grasp the two major aspects of raw materials and technology, and make the products, even if they are slightly more expensive than the market, I believe that there are still many tourists who will be happy to buy.
After being addicted to the powder mill, Li Xiaopang devoted himself to the autumn harvest again. As the saying goes, Sanchun is not busy in autumn, and the old farmers often say a word, called "rushing autumn", all kinds of crops ripe in the field, or take back home as soon as possible, it is considered at ease.
Farm work such as cutting soybeans cannot be done by tourists, because the pods are more prickly, and the people in the city have fine skin and tender meat; Therefore, under the advocacy of Li Xiaopang, the experiential labor arranged for tourists is to break buds.
This is relatively simple, first put down the bud rice stalks, shop by shop, and then sit on the top, break the bud rice sticks from the straw, and gather them into a pile, even if the task is temporarily completed.
Tourists work mainly to experience, and they cannot be expected to do much work, but mainly to find the joy of labor. For example, after work, pick out those green buds, build a fire on the ground, and a circle of people take the buds and roast them on the fire to eat.
There are also skills in roasting bud rice in the wild, first of all, you must choose a hard artemisia stalk or wicker stick, insert it from the back of the bud rice stick, and then hold the stick with your hand and then roast it, so as to save your hands.
There is also a special aspect of the fire, if it is roasted when the flame is strong, then the fire is too urgent, and the bud rice sticks are all paste, the outside is black, and the inside is not cooked.
Most of the tourists, under the guidance of the villagers, have nibbled on the fragrant and tender green bud rice, and they all ate it until the corners of their mouths were stained with black ash.
"The autumn bud rice is more fragrant when it is ripe!" There was an old man who admired it with some nostalgia.
It's not just about eating green bud rice, tourists are also eye-opening today, and even the layers of bud rice skin outside the bud rice stick can also play tricks in the hands of the locals. I saw the little fat man who led the team sitting cross-legged on the ground, braiding the bud rice skin with folded belts, and after a while, he conjured a certain small hat, and there were two braids made of bud rice skin floating below.
"Give it to meβ" Sister Lin snatched it and buckled it on her head. Not to mention, it's quite exquisite. Especially when he shook his head, the two braids flew into the air, and the children and the eldest girl and daughter-in-law among the tourists surrounded Li Xiaopang with a hula, and begged him to make one.
I can't be busy even if I have three heads and six arms, Li Xiaopang immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, so he hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry, everyone, work first, and then make it up when you go home at night, my craft is the bottom of the village!" β
The tourists were also full of anticipation when they heard it, and secretly collected a lot of bud rice skins, preparing to ask the landlord to help make something at night.
Although the work of tourists is not their strong point, they can't stand the crowd, so the cutting of bud rice stalks is gradually unable to supply. Some tourists who are anxious simply go into the bud rice field and stand directly to break the bud rice. Of course, the main thing is to experience more.
This is a little bit of suffering, the bud leaves scratched the face, itchy, after scratching a few handfuls, it becomes a fire, people who have not done farm work, really can't bear this hardship, so some people began to retreat.
But those little babies are because they are thin, so they drill around in the ground, very flexible, as if hiding cats, so they don't want to go out, and the adults don't listen to them, and they still shout: "Listen, there must be people breaking buds in the field in front of them, so we are not afraid!" β
The adults listened attentively, and sure enough, the movement ahead was not small, and at least there must be dozens of people working.
"Our people seem to be here, they can't be stealing crops, right?" Li Xiaopang pondered that something was not quite right. In rural areas, there are also people who come to pick up crops during the autumn harvest season, saying that they are picking, but in fact, most of them go to the crops to pull them, which is similar to stealing.
Especially this year, the crops in the Black Blind Tun are growing exceptionally well, so they are also the most vulnerable to thieves.
As he was talking, he heard a loud noise in front of me, and then I saw the bud rice stalks shaking for a while, and many of them fell to both sides. Immediately, two big black men appeared in front of everyone.
This is - the black blind man, oh my mother, run quickly - the tourists were in a big mess, and they were just about to scatter and flee, when they heard Li Xiaopang yell: "Don't be afraid, this is the bear of our village, don't bite!" β
The black blind man is also free-range - the tourists are suspicious, and while they are ready to run away, they look at the two black blind men. I don't know who was the first to laugh, and then the laughter became one after another.
It turned out that the two blind bears were also breaking buds there, and the black blind man in front of them slapped and clicked, and even the bud stalks with the buds on the top fell to the ground; The one in the back actually dragged a sack and stuffed the buds and straws on the ground into the sack.
Everyone resounded a famous afterword, the black blind man broke the bud rice, broke an ear and threw an ear. It's said that the black blind man is stupid, so he went into the bud rice field and took a look, wow, there are a lot of buds, hurry up and break more. So he broke an ear and put an ear into the armpit, and then he was busy breaking a ear of three fires and four ears, but a fetal arm, the ear of bud rice that was clamped fell off, and in the end, he was tired enough to choke, and he got an ear of bud rice.
Obviously, this story does not apply to the two black blind men in front of them, who actually know how to use a sack, who wants to say that the bear is stupid, he must be stupider than the bear.
"Xiong Da Xiong Er, you two brothers are out of breath, and you are running to the field to bring disaster buds. Since you are willing to break buds, I will punish you for labor reform and break buds with us! Li Xiaopang rushed over, dragged the sack directly, and confiscated the stolen goods first.
As a result, there was an uproar, the sack was fluttering, and all the contents fell out. It turned out that the sack was dragged and dragged on the ground, and a big hole had already been grinded out, no wonder Xiong Daxiong Er was busy working for most of the day, and the bag was not full, and he was caught by Li Xiaopang.
Although he was not happy, Xiong Da Xiong Er was not stupid, and he knew that he couldn't beat the little fat man, so he was appointed and continued to break buds. The reason why Li Xiaopang pulled them into the gang is mainly to find some fun for tourists and enhance the cohesion of tourism. As for the tourists, after being happy for a while, they were not afraid, but they thought that these two big stupid bears were very funny, so they worked with the black blind man, and many people also took a group photo with Xiong Daxiong Er. In the group photo, everyone was smiling brightly; And the two black blind men looked unwilling, and the contrast was very obvious.
To say that this black blind man is powerful, not only the wild boar can help harvest potatoes, but also the black blind man can help break the bud rice, this is a veritable black blind man.
When it was time to finish work in the evening, seeing that Xiong Da Xiong Er's performance was not bad, Li Xiaopang fed them some green bud rice, and finally they were not busy in vain. But the two brothers also thought about it: tomorrow they won't be thieves, they will be tired enough to choke before they are half full, it is better to pick up pine seeds in the forest and eat them!
