"These are the rice, how did that rice come from?" Lin Ying and Liu Lan were very surprised to see the golden rice, they had only seen rice, and they had not yet figured out the relationship between rice and rice. Li Feng was sitting very well, and he saw that he had finished drinking the tea in his hand and went to eat, but he heard Lin Ying suddenly say something.

"Poof." A sip of herbal tea. squirted out, coughed a few times, and looked at Lin Ying and Liu Lan with puzzled faces. Li Feng was really injured, and the two of them didn't have time to come to the village. I don't even know how the rice came from now, isn't this the grain?

"Xiaoying, this rice is rice with the outer husk removed." Li Xin's face was flushed, and she pulled the hem of Lin Ying's clothes, this person lost it. Lin Ying and Liu Lan didn't realize it yet, and the two nodded. "But how do you get out of your shell, do you take off one grain at a time?" As soon as this problem came out, Li Xin slapped his forehead directly, alas, he couldn't help it.

"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, one by one, you're peeling peanuts. Even in the past, the rice was littered one by one, but now the shelling machine is directly used. "Li Feng still has the tools for clothes and rice at home, which is quite simple. This thing has been used in the mountains in the late 80s, and the shelling machine was only used in the early 90s. Li Feng has filial piety and has seen the use of stone mortars to make rice, and the stone mortars are hewn with a whole piece of large bluestone, and the whole is like a big wine cup. The diameter of the stone mortar is only sixty or seventy centimeters, but only three or four people can lift such a large stone mortar.

Chiseling the stone mortar is a craft, most of the stonemasons may not be able to make a good stone mortar, and the lines inside the stone mortar must be done in place, which is of great help to the rice. Li Feng's family was made by Li Feng's grandfather, and the old thing is now placed in the utility room, and it is rarely used. The stone mortar must be buried in the soil when the rice is sung, otherwise it is easy to turn over and shake around. All the four edges of the stone mortar that are exposed to the ground are extremely smooth, so that the rice grains scattered when the rice is eaten can be easily cleaned. On top of the stone mortar is a big hammer-like thing, called the mill, which is mostly made of good wood such as the jujube tree and the locust tree. There was a pole and pestle on his head, and iron teeth were pressed on the mouth of the pestle.

Some of them are simple and directly use the rice, but they are tiring, and the strong man sweats after a while. Later, a wooden stick was made in the middle of the belly, and there were crossbars on both sides to support the warping, just like the "warping board" for acrobatics. There is an iron lump at this end of the stick, which is easy to step on, step on it here, raise the head of that side and lick it down fiercely, lift it up, lick it down. Although the repetition of the machine here is less labor-intensive than directly using the machine. But after a long time, I am still very tired, and most of the people who can't bear it are men who work hard to do rotations. It's not easy to eat rice, where is it like now, a few dollars a bag of rice, it doesn't take much effort, and the white rice comes out.

Li Feng said that several girls were stunned for a moment, it turned out that there was such a thing, even Li Xin didn't know much about this. This thing didn't go out early. It's just that maybe there are still people in the mountains who are using it, there is no way, it is too difficult to get out of the mountains, and a few mountain people have no money to buy machines, and the transportation is not cheap.

"I didn't expect it to be so hard to eat rice. By the way, you said, you still have this stone mortar at home, show us how to cook rice that day. We haven't seen it yet, so we're curious. Liu Lan was very interested in Li Feng's ancient rice making skills, when this person first came, he felt very interesting about Li Feng's small grinding and grinding tofu, and he insisted on grinding it, but after two times, this person felt that he couldn't stand it. It is not easy to push and grind, there is no skill, and every time you give up halfway, Li Feng's family is a small grinder, usually making tofu, soy milk, or grinding some sesame oil. "Forget it, the stone mortar wasn't made by one or two people. Besides, this thing has to be dug and buried, which is time-consuming and laborious. Li Feng hurriedly shook his head, this thing is a whole stone, hundreds of catties, it takes time and effort to pick it up, and the rice that comes out is not as good as the shelling machine. These backward crafts can only be seen in textbooks. I don't want to be thankless, these girls get to the end, rice is not rice, rice is not rice, and in the end, they are not picking up the mess by themselves. I'm idle and hot-headed, and I'm not comfortable finding anything.

"I don't want to forget it, I still think that having a rice raking machine in the open space on this side of the yard can at least attract some curious people in the city like me, at that time, your family's vegetables, fish in the pond, maybe these rice can be sold at a good price." Liu Lan pursed her lips, why is this person so lazy, just looking for a few people to lift it, what's there.

"That's right, you look at other people's play with local characteristics, Li Jiagang can't be left behind." Lin Ying was instigating Li Feng to bring the stone mortar over, and this person was also full of curiosity and freshness about Chungmi. Urban children are always curious about rural life, just as Li Lili yearns for urban life. People are always more interested in a life full of unknowns, but full of complaints about the familiar life they are in.

"Let's talk about it later, let's go, let's eat." Li Feng snorted, and said in his heart that he was stupid, and he was getting things here. Maybe you want to play two handfuls of rice that day, but you didn't clean up the mess, you tried to make rice once when you were a child, and you almost didn't break your big teeth. Since then, Li Feng has seen how far Chungmi can run, and his heart is dark. Li Feng sighed, hurry up and run, these aunts and grandmothers can't afford to serve themselves

"This person, he ran away, it seems that Chungmi is really tired." Lin Ying and the three of them looked at Li Feng with a smile as if he had run away, and he disappeared for a while, it was not easy to make this person panic. Several girls laughed and muttered something about rice in a low voice. Especially Lin Ying and Liu Lan never knew that it was so difficult to shell rice.

During the lunch meal, Li Feng was stunned and didn't say a word, which made the three girls laugh again and again. Especially Liu Lan found out from Li Feng's mother's mouth that when Li Feng was playing rice when he was a child, he accidentally fell and gnawed mud, and his front teeth almost knocked off. I finally know why this person is so afraid of Chungmi.

"Hahaha." Until eating, Li Feng returned to the Taolin courtyard, and this person was not talking. I muttered in my heart, Mom is really, how many years ago, and I took it out and said it. A few girls, this will not be at all like the lady who just ate in small bites, drank soup in small sips, and spoke softly. Especially when Liu Lan smiled and leaned back, Li Feng was really afraid that there would be something wrong with his laughter.

"What's so funny, I'm thinking about you, this rice is very dangerous, if your little girl's front teeth are gone, then it's not ugly." Li Feng's face was full of helplessness, poured a cup of herbal tea, and poured it down. The aunts and grandmothers in front of them didn't appreciate it at all, and laughed even louder.

"Okay, let's rest, although it's not hot, but I'm laughing endlessly, I'm not tired, drink tea, and go to work." Li Feng poured a cup of tea with a teapot alone, which was considered to be admitting defeat to a few people, so it was necessary. Sometimes, Li Feng really doesn't understand how these young people laugh at a trivial matter.

"It's pretty much the same, I didn't expect laughter to be physical work, it's really tiring, hehe." Liu Lan was not polite at all, and drank the herbal tea.

"By the way, Li Feng, the little flying bear you mentioned, why haven't these experts and professors caught it yet. It's strange how many photos have been taken, but this living creature can't be caught. Liu Lan took a sip of tea, remembered something, put the teacup on the table, and leaned forward. "Yes, I didn't take a photo two days ago, why haven't I heard of catching a flying bear for a few days?" Lin Ying is also quite strange, these few people came back to ask Li Feng, this person was the first person to recognize the little flying bear, and he should have some understanding of the characteristics of the little flying bear.

Li Feng thought about it with the teacup, Xiaofeixiong's special ability is nothing to say. "Although this little flying bear is said to be a bear more like a cat, it has a good line of sight, especially strong night vision, light speed, and sharp claws, which is suitable for survival in mountains and caves. I think it may be for these reasons that the little thing has good night vision and has an advantage in the cave.

It's not that you don't know that the cave extends in all directions, and although many people can't go to the gaps, this little thing can easily go back and forth. These experts don't want to hurt the little flying bear, and it is a bit difficult to catch. If I make a set, use a few small fish, it's still quite easy to catch, Xiaofei Bear loves to eat fish, this, alas, forgot to tell Ouyang Fei. I don't know if they know. Li Feng remembered as he spoke, and he forgot to tell Ouyang Fei about the life habits of the little flying bear. Li Feng can't be blamed for this, these things are still remembered when he went back to check the animal illustrated book. The last time Ouyang Fei looked for him, he didn't know.

"I see, there may be a group of people coming out in the afternoon, and I'll ask them to see how they're doing. Let's go, the tea is drunk, by the way, I think it's better to get the stone mortar out, you see that you are the father of two children, why can't you forget a little frustration when you were a child. Lin Ying's words before leaving caused Liu Lan to laugh again, I really don't know that this person loves to laugh so much. Forget it, I still have to dry the rice, don't care.

The rice is turned over little by little with a piece of wood, and it takes about ten minutes to make it. I haven't made it for many years, the wood is a little rusty, and the thickness of the rice is uneven. On this day, the rice can be turned and dried in two hours, and the weather will be a little hot, and my mother said that I will go to the field after three o'clock, and there is not much rice in my own house, and it can be cleaned up tomorrow morning at most. The rice he grows uses less pesticides, especially when Li Feng watered the spring. Although these are not completely pesticide residue-free, they are better than the rice on the market. Li Feng's family did not plan to buy these rice, and they ate them themselves. So it was very clean, and I picked up the leaves by myself. With a little monkey watching, the little bird didn't dare to fly down, and there was less bird droppings, so it was safe to eat cleanly. Clear
