The so-called threshing barrel is actually a large round wooden barrel, and then a thicker rice rope is enclosed at the top of the barrel.

Usually threshing, the bamboo mat is erected and surrounded above the wooden barrel, and most of the threshing barrel is surrounded high, leaving only one piece for people to threh.

The other end of the ladder is just above the barrel, and the villagers will smash the cut rice on the ladder one by one, and the grain on it will fall into the threshing bucket.

The spilled rice when the villagers shake it will be blocked by the bamboo mats surrounding the side, so there will be no loss.

The reason why the bamboo mat can be fixed on top of the wooden barrel and enclose it is because when the craftsman weaves the bamboo mat, he will deliberately set aside a few feet of bamboo poles on both sides as the bamboo mat to fix the bamboo mat.

When threshing, the bamboo pole can be inserted into the rice rope around the threshing bucket to hold the bamboo mat.

Bamboo mats can usually sleep people, can dry grains, and can be used to beat grain buckets when harvesting rice, and its use is needless to say.

After determining the tools used to wash the pulp, everyone kept moving out threshing buckets, grain ladders, gauze, small wooden barrels, wooden basins, etc., and cleaned them.

When washing the pulp, put the grain ladder horizontally on the threshing bucket.

The valley ladder is not flat, but has a division of up and down, with the middle convex upwards and the ends facing downwards.

When threshing, it is easier to knock the grain down only if the top is more protruding.

In this wash, the upper side of the bulge should be facing down, so that the ends can be higher, and the middle can be sunk into the threshing bucket, just enough to allow the grain ladder to stand firmly above the barrel, without worrying about it sliding.

The large gauze cloth is spread out and cushioned on the small wooden barrel, covering the entire inside of the wooden barrel.

Then pour the sweet potato paste into the gauze, pour in water and stir vigorously.

After mixing, the gauze is pinched around and lifted whole, and the slurry will be filtered down from the gauze.

Of course, if this is the case alone, the slurry in the gauze will not be drained clean, so it will have to be put up on the grain ladder.

Let the person with clean legs and feet stand barefoot, step on the sweet potato paste inside the gauze with his foot, and step out all the slurry that remains inside.

In this way, it is still not possible to clean out all the fine powder in the sweet potato paste.

You have to pour water in the gauze again, stir, drain, and step on it.

Basically repeat three times, the fine powder in the sweet potato paste can basically be washed out, and only the sweet potato residue is left in the gauze.

The drained slurry water is left there for one day, and the water in the bucket is carefully poured out on the second day, and there will be a layer of sediment under it, which is the wet powder.

Dig out this wet powder and dry it, and after drying, it will automatically break it and gently grind it with your hands to form a delicate powder, which is sweet potato coarse powder.

Then use the fine sieve to sift and continue to grind the coarse powder until it is all fine.

This is sweet potato flour.

Sweet potato vermicelli is made from sweet potato flour.

Therefore, they also borrowed several threshing buckets and made a batch every day.

As for the dried sweet potatoes, it is simple, and it doesn't require many extra tools, it is similar to the usual steamed bun steamed buns, the sweet potatoes are steamed in a pot, cut into strips and dried, and can be eaten directly.

Everyone only tossed around at home for a few days, and then received a letter from Zheng Linchu again.

In the past, as long as it was Zheng Linchu's letter, the content of the letter would not be untargeted.

The value of this letter is even greater.

Without him, he taught everyone how to cut seedlings in advance.

I also know that Zheng Linchu will never joke about this sweet potato, and everyone will naturally not think that she is deceiving herself and others, otherwise she will lose the most.

After some calculations, it was determined that if more people were hired, it was really possible that all the sweet potato vine seedlings would be cut out and planted.

After knowing that they could cut seedlings and cuttings in advance, Jiang Qianyue and Xue Kejing were even more relieved and bold to recruit people.

In this way, the two of them are even more busy with their feet on the ground, running around the villages every day.

A few days later, the first batch of shredded sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour made at home came out.

The shredded sweet potatoes are naturally divided into a part and ground into sweet potato noodles.

And sweet potato flour is also used to make sweet potato vermicelli.

To make sweet potato vermicelli, the first thing is to knead the flour, pour the sweet potato flour into a large water tank, add appropriate water, and hammer it with several people.

There are many particulars in this, such as the need for several people to use even force, and the hammering speed should not be too slow.

At the same time, set up a large pot and bring the water to a boil.

After a long hammer and kneading of the water-filled sweet potato flour into a sticky dough shape, they are packed into a special large leaky scoop.

The use of the colander is to tie the handle to the wrist, and after loading the dough, use the other hand to hit the colander, and the 'batter' will continue to leak from the bottom of the scoop into the pot below, forming a filament.

When a scoop is about to leak, a helper needs to put the next ball of 'dough' into the scoop so that it continues to leak.

After the continuous 'batter' leaks into the boiling water, it will be shaped into a filament, which is the vermicelli.

When the noodle soup is cooked in boiling water, remove it from the cauldron, put in water to cool, and then dry it on the bamboo pole.

Of course, whether it is kneading the dough, or beating the leaky scoop, or drying the vermicelli, it takes a lot of skills, which requires them to continue to be proficient.

The Xue family obviously didn't have the time to toss these things for a long time, and the reason why they spent time tossing in and tossing before was naturally to try to make them.

Now that we have succeeded in trying it, it is natural to invite a group of women with quick hands and feet, as well as young men with sufficient physical strength and skillful hands, to teach them.

These tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes are just used for everyone to practice.

After they are proficient in making and successfully leaving the school, they will be the first batch of masters of the Xue family to handle sweet potatoes, and they will bring out a large number of apprentices for the Xue family in batches in the future.

Such a master is a craftsman, but the Xue family has invested a lot of energy in them, so naturally it cannot be compared with ordinary employees, and it is the object of the Xue family's long-term employment.

In addition to being proficient in using tools and learning how to make these sweet potato products, the Xue family also had to make these tools in large quantities.

The production tools are naturally managed by Xue Yuhe, a craftsman.

No one in the Xue family is more familiar with this matter than him.

The tools needed by the Xue family are also a lot, including copper, iron, and wood, and there are many categories, and the amount required is also large.

Xue Yuhe alone will definitely not be able to do it, and he will also do some carpentry work, or make some bamboo products, this copper and iron and the like, not to mention whether he will do it, even if he can, he is not qualified to do it, and a person's energy is limited.

You have to find an officially licensed store to customize in bulk.

The Xue family will have to deal with so many sweet potatoes in the future, not to mention anything else, just this tool, to make a sufficient quantity, the cost of silver is not a small amount.
