Chapter 124: A few thousand catties a day

Although the instruction manual given by Zheng Linchu has the whole process of frying pecans, the Xue family has never been exposed to these things before, and they don't know what kind of results they can make.

So they planned to test the two loads of fruit first.

On the manual, this green fruit should be stacked for three or four before it is easier to take off the puff, so of course there is no need to make your own work more difficult in order to grab three times.

The reason why I am in a hurry to take off these two loads of fruits today is mainly to fry a batch for testing and see the effect.

Only when you see the final result and have real experience can you feel at ease.

Although the Xue family has a large number of people, the green peel fruit that has just been picked is really not so easy to peel, and it took a lot of time for everyone to peel off the shells of the two loads of fruits.

Stir-frying pecans sounds simple, isn't it just a matter of peeling the pits and stir-frying, it's just a matter of putting some ingredients.

Actually, it's not the case, and the process is complicated.

After peeling, of course, the pits should be washed.

This pit is more than just a wash.

The first step is to soak all the peeled pits in a large tank filled with water.

Cleaning is only the first step, cleaning the residue of the green juice residue from the depuning process.

After that, a preliminary screening is done to pick out the bad pits.

This selection of pits is also very particular.

The kernel in the water tank, sinking at the bottom, will not disappear, and it must be the fullest batch of fruits.

And what floats on it is not necessarily all empty shells.

This is to determine whether the floating part is the head or the tail.

If the head is up, it is a complete empty shell, and these are to be discarded.

If the tail is facing up, then it is likely that there is still some pulp in it.

Since there is still pulp, it naturally cannot be wasted.

You can choose it, and then you can knock it open later and make walnut kernels.

After the initial screening, all the good fruit pits are fished out of the water with a grate, and then they are sorted by secondary screening and separation.

The bigger and fuller the pecans in the manual, they are the best, and of course the most expensive.

Of course, the more inferior it is, the larger it looks ugly, and it is difficult to peel when eating, and there is no flesh after finally peeling it off.

Ordinary people are not willing to spend such an expensive amount of money to buy these defective products, so it is not qualified to sell them whole.

They can only be put together with those half-good and half-bad, and cracked open to take walnut kernels.

Therefore, the size of walnuts should also be screened in advance and stored separately.

As for how big it is and how big it is, there are pictures in the manual, and they just need to choose it.

After screening the pits, the remaining peeled husks and empty husks are also disposed of.

Naturally, these toxin-laden discarded pusks should not be littered everywhere, otherwise they will easily pollute the land, water and the surrounding environment, and even if they are accidentally eaten by children of any family.

And no matter what, these things are also carried by everyone from the depths of the wild forest at the risk of danger, and of course they must be used to their advantage.

In fact, this pu shell is also a treasure, it is more resistant to burning than ordinary charcoal, and compared to charcoal is less charcoal-making process, a little drying can be used to burn, just suitable for this season as charcoal.

At this point, these two burdens of green fruits have been completely processed.

Next, these cleaned and screened pits are dried and dried for two or three before proceeding to the next step.

Of course, Xue Langjing doesn't need to take care of these, after all, so many people in the family don't eat dry food.

All she had to do was focus on picking the fruit.

The next day, the hunting party set out again to harvest the fruit.

There were nineteen of them, and fourteen of them carried baskets to carry more fruit.

After coming to the fruit forest again, I found that the hyena corpse that was thrown outside yesterday was indeed gone, as everyone thought, and the original strong smell of blood had long since dissipated.

However, just in case, two people were left on guard on the perimeter, and the others were all engaged in picking fruit.

Because of the large number of people, the speed is naturally fast just by picking up the fruit.

It was only half an hour, and all the fruit of the land was obediently in the basket.

In total, they harvested about eleven loads of fruit, and the baskets they picked up were not, and generally speaking, the weight must be at least 3,300 catties.

Three hundred catties is probably the weight that a young man who has worked for a long time can pick. However, for those who are capable of it, even if they take the mountain road, the list of 300 catties is not much difficult.

According to the number of squares of this fruit forest, if they hit three or four thousand catties, then they will have to fight for at least half a month to finish, which is not a short time.

After picking up the fruit, based on yesterday's experience, the hunting team adjusted the method slightly, first picking 12 people to go up the tree to hunt the fruit.

With this number of people, one dozen of fruit is just enough to fill the baskets that have been picked.

After the official start of the battle, just like yesterday, there were occasionally one or two beasts attracted at the beginning, and the Qirao defense team was of course easy to deal with, and even a few people could be divided to pick up the fruit.

This initial period of security is important.

After all, at this time, the number of people on the tree is the largest, and the defense power below is sufficient, so that the people above can hunt the fruit with peace of mind.

During this period, the fruit also falls the fastest.

Gradually, the players on the defense below began to be overwhelmed.

From time to time, the members of the fruit team have to come down and join the defensive team.

The speed of the shooting gradually slowed down.

In the end, when there were only two people left in the tree, they held on for a while, and Xue Langjing, who was already experienced, quickly found the right time point and asked everyone to pack up their things and retreat in time.

Compared to yesterday's hastiness, the hunting team retreated in a much more orderly manner today.

Because of the timely retreat, by the time of the descent, Zhongrao's spirit was better than yesterday.

Today's luck was good, I didn't encounter a beast like hyenas, and it was a lot easier to fight.

Although it was easier in the later period, it took a while to pick up the fruit in the front, and it was half an hour later than yesterday when I went down the mountain.

In terms of the harvest of prey, today we did not waste our energy on worthless beasts such as hyenas, although it was not as dangerous as yesterday, but the harvest was greater.

Before the fight, I picked up eleven loads of fruit, and on the way, I picked up two more loads, a total of thirteen loads, adding up to nearly 4,000 catties.

Today's fruit is six times as large as yesterday's, and when they are brought back, they are piled up in the woodhouse.

When Xue Langjing led the team to hunt fruits on the mountain, everyone in the Xue family at home was not idle, and they also publicized it in the village.

However, in half a day, there were almost no people in the whole village who didn't know that the Xue family was going to recruit some women to help with the work.

For these women, who usually have little income, it is naturally a good thing to have an extra income, and there are not too many people who are rushing to work.

And so it went on for another two days.

The cleaned and screened pits at home have also been dried for three days before they can enter the next step.

That is to deastringen the pits.

The wooden barrel that deastringencies the core of the fruit is a special wooden barrel sent by Zheng Linchu, and the barrel is large at the top and bottom, commonly known as "mountain core steaming".

It is not difficult to get rid of astringency, but it takes a long time.

Put the dried fruit core into the wooden barrel, fill the steaming barrel with water, steam for about three hours, and then take it out to dry for three or four days or dry it directly, and the astringency of the fruit can be removed.
