Chapter 233: Baking Kiln
Gao Yang, Yaya and his son-in-law were staring at Li Feng with their eyes wide open at the moment. Whether it is in his eyes or on his face, he is full of a strong curiosity.
However, at this moment, Li Feng didn't pay attention to these at all, but concentrated, fiddling with the work in his hand, his movements were so careful, so gentle, and his expression was so focused.
Take a closer look, Li Feng turned out to be playing with mud. Hehe, of course, this statement is not true, to be exact, Li Feng is using pieces of dirt, piling up something, it looks a bit like he wants to build a small house, and there is a doorway made of three larger clods of earth.
When Li Feng used clods of earth to build the mud wall, he did not go up vertically, but leaned slightly inward, and as the mud wall was piled higher and higher, the remaining openings on it became smaller and smaller. And the more he got to the top, Li Feng's movements became more gentle and careful, and every piece of soil was carefully placed on it. Sometimes, he stretches out the fingers of his left hand and gently holds it.
Li Feng's movements were cautious, and Gao Yang, Yaya and his son-in-law on the side were also nervous. Especially the little son, with his beautiful big eyes, stared closely at Li Feng's every movement, and then stretched out his little hand and covered his small mouth. It seems that he is afraid that he will make a noise and scare Li Feng, and it seems that he is afraid that he will gasp and blow down this small house. In short, that look is simply cute.
Time seems to pass very slowly in the silent waiting, but it does not stop after all. As time passed, Li Feng's expression became more focused. Because, at the top end of this small house-like building, there is only a small opening left at this time.
Li Feng took a piece of soil that was about the size of the small opening, a little sharp, and gently put it into the small opening, and got stuck. Then he gently let go of his hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, it's so rusty, it took so long. When I was a kid, it would have been done in minutes. But fortunately, it was a success, and it did not collapse. Otherwise, it will be a big shame. ”
Seeing that it had been completed, Li Feng actually had a sense of accomplishment, but he also had a deep sense of loss, and he was a little dissatisfied with himself.
"Haha, that's great. Didn't fall, really didn't fall, big brother, you're too powerful. However, this little house, so strange, so small. Also, there is only a door opening, no door, but it is really beautiful. By the way, big brother, what are you doing this for?"
Seeing this strange little house in front of me, it was successfully completed. Gao Yang and Yaya's faces also showed a relaxed and excited look. However, then they all became curious.
"Yes, Fourth Uncle, what are you doing here. This...... It looks a bit like a tent. That's right, and those steppe people. The tent where I stayed, really like. Still, it looks pretty good, tiny. It's exquisite. It's really fun. However, Fourth Uncle, didn't you say that there is still something delicious? ”
Gao Yang on the side, when he saw this thing in front of him, was immediately very interested. There's fun, but where is the food?
"It's delicious, but you'll have to wait a while. Let's go pick up some dry firewood, but as long as those dead branches, they don't need to be too big. ”
Regarding Gao Yang's curiosity, Li Feng deliberately avoided answering. Then he led them around and looked for the dead branches of the trees with small roots. Although Gao Yang and the others were curious, Li Feng didn't say anything, and they couldn't help it, so they followed Li Feng and looked around for dry firewood.
"Okay, it should be enough, no need to look for it anymore."
It's still very easy to find these dead branches and rotten leaves, and it didn't take long to find a lot of them, and then pile them aside. Gao Yang and the others began to wait for Li Feng's next move. However, collecting firewood, there is no doubt that it is definitely going to make a fire.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that soon Li Feng raised the fire. However, Li Feng's fire made them even more inexplicable. Because, Li Feng actually lit a fire directly in the small dirt house that he had just built. Other than that, there was no other action.
"Ah....... I know, it's a stove, isn't it, fourth uncle"
The son-in-law, who had not spoken, at this time, saw that Li Feng was actually burning a fire inside, and finally came to his senses. After coming to the craftsman village for so long, the son still knows about the stove.
"No, no, although this is also a fire in it, but it is definitely not a stove, you see, this fire is burning inside, and there is no mouth on it, so where to put the pot."
As soon as she heard that the son said that this was a stove, the little girl immediately raised objections.
"But, little aunt, what is this not a stove?"
"This, I don't know, this must only be known to the big brother."
This time, everyone had no choice but to keep their eyes on Li Feng's body, wanting to get an answer from him. Li Feng looked at it, and didn't say anything, these two little guys were going to be depressed.
"Hehe, this is not the god of the stove, it is a kiln, just like the lime kiln a while ago. Now, we are in the baking kiln, which can also be called, the sweet potato kiln. As the name suggests, this kiln is made for us to eat fragrant sweet potatoes, this time you see? ”
That's right, Li Feng brought a few of them to the baking kiln today. The moment he thought of sweet potatoes, he immediately thought of this baking kiln. Because, this baking kiln can be said to be one of their favorite outdoor activities when they were children.
When I was a child, every family in the countryside raised cattle, and as long as it was a weekend or a holiday, the task of herding cattle was entrusted to them as children. Li Feng: Most of them are cattle. It is much more convenient and fun to release cattle than to release buffaloes. Cattle can climb mountains, and when they are herding, as long as they drive the cattle to a high mountain, they almost don't care, and they can play like crazy.
Li Feng: When they were young, they would herd cattle in their pockets and load a box of matches. Its main purpose is for this baking kiln. If the sweet potatoes in the field outside are not confiscated, then whoever catches them will dig up. If you take it back, then take the sweet potatoes out of the house directly.
It can be said that this baking kiln almost runs through Li Feng's childhood and is one of the most precious memories of his childhood, so as soon as he sees sweet potatoes, he immediately thinks of baking kiln.
This baking kiln is not the same as directly lighting a fire and roasting sweet potatoes. The baking kiln is to build an earthen kiln, and then make a fire in the kiln to burn the mud blocks used to stack the sweet potato kiln to turn red. Then, extinguish the fire in the kiln. Then put the sweet potatoes, one by one, carefully into the kiln. Take a clod of earth and seal the mouth of the kiln. Immediately, take a wooden stick and gently poke the red-hot clods of soil from the top of the kiln until the entire sweet potato kiln collapses inside. The next step is to use stones to break up the soil and pound it tightly. Finally, cover with a layer of wet soil and make it firm.
After waiting for about ten minutes, you can use a wooden stick to pull the soil layer by layer. Then, you can dig up the sweet potatoes slowly, one by one. However, at this time, you must be careful, first, be careful not to dig up the sweet potatoes. Be careful not to get burned.
The sweet potatoes obtained through the baking kiln are not the same as the roasted sweet potatoes that are usual. Cooked without burning, fragrant without rotting, and most importantly, this sweet potato will have a unique aroma.
Because of this, when Li Feng was a child, he often didn't eat at noon, so he went directly to herd cattle, and when the time came, he just went directly to the baking kiln.
If that's not enough, you can also catch some grasshoppers and put them on top of the soil clods in the sweet potato kiln that have just been dug up, and the temperature is still extremely high. With this crispy and delicious grasshopper, it is even more perfect.
"Wow....... Fourth Uncle, this is so fragrant. It's delicious, it's delicious....... it's so hot....... it's ......."
After a period of anxious waiting, the sweet potato was finally slowly dug out of the soil by Li Feng, Gao Yang, who already knew how to eat this thing from Li Feng, Li Feng couldn't wait, so he grabbed one, and his mouth was constantly praising while eating.
"yes, it's delicious, even better than the one just now. Big brother, when will we come again next time, burn this sweet potato kiln, okay? ”
Yaya is not lagging behind at all, just like Gao Yang, and has already begun to ask Li Feng when he will come again next time.
"Hehe, I said Yaya, you are so stupid, when the time comes, we don't know that we are coming. This sweet potato kiln is not difficult to make, and it is more interesting for us to come and make it ourselves. ”
"Ah...... Haha, yes, well, when the time comes, I will also build a sweet potato kiln by myself. ”
After hearing Gao Yang's words, Yaya was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became happy, and her eyes were full of excitement and expectation.
"Fourth Uncle......."
Only the youngest son, Li Feng said just now that it was very hot, and he didn't let her take it herself. However, now watching the maids eat and smelling the tempting fragrance makes the little guy anxious.
"I said you two guys, you only care about eating for yourself, and don't care about other people's children. Come, son, the fourth uncle will get you a big one, be careful, don't burn it. ”
Hearing the little son's anxious and aggrieved voice, Li Feng looked at the scene in front of him, and then he reacted. I first went to the side and picked a few large leaves, then picked up a sweet potato, blew the ashes clean, wrapped it, and handed it to my son, and said. However, Li Feng didn't dare to really give her the biggest, she couldn't eat it.
"Ah...... I'm sorry, little son, this is so delicious that I forgot about you..."
At this time, Gao Yang and Yaya reacted, and they also felt that they were too unrighteous, so they hurriedly ran to their son's side and said. To be continued.
