Chung rice is a very ancient and practical agricultural production activity, and its history can even be traced back to the early history of human civilization.

It has been born from the earliest farming in the early germination of human civilization, and it has been spread for thousands of years in Yanguo, until the emergence of modern mechanical processing, which gradually replaced this ancient agricultural production activity.

But even so, in the vast countryside of Yanguo, this ancient skill can still be seen.

舂, the sound of the same chong, means to put something in a stone mortar or milk bowl, with a pestle to mash the meaning.

This is an ancient hieroglyph, the bottom is a mortar character, and the upper part is in the golden text and the small seal, which is the appearance of two people holding a pestle, which vividly and vividly expresses the meaning of this character.

And if you understand the meaning of this word, it is easy to restore this ancient agricultural activity.

Find a container that is strong enough, put the rice in it, and then use a heavy object to pound it continuously until all the rice husks are broken, and the rice grains are exposed, and the process of rice is completed.

In the vast countryside, this container is usually made of stone mortars, and more primitive and archaic is a pit burned out of a tree stump.

As for the tools used for pounding, wood, stone, and metal can be used, as long as they are heavy enough to crush the rice husks.

Chen Xin's method is to make a large bowl and a metal rod out of metal, then put the rice into the bowl and pound it with a metal rod.

Because the rice was not dried, and he did not pound all the rice, but only processed a little to cook the rice, it was enough to use a large bowl to scoop the rice.

Putting the golden rice into a bowl and pounding it with a metal rod one by one, watching the rice husk gradually break up, revealing the pale brown rice grains inside, is a very happy thing to feel the joy of labor.

In particular, these rice grains have not been dried, so they still exude a faint fragrance, which can make people feel more happy, so that Chen Xin is looking forward to tasting the rice grown by himself.

Since Chen Xin only cooked a bowl of rice, it didn't take him much time to make the rice.

It's just that at this time, the rice and bran have not been separated, and it is obviously not possible to cook them directly, and it is also necessary to screen them again to separate the rice and bran.

The most traditional method that Chen Xin knows is to use a flat basket to sift the finished rice bran mixture together? Is the rice grain heavier? It will fall back into the basket under the action of gravitational potential energy after being sieved, and the bran or rice is lighter? It will be blown away by the wind during the sieving process.

And the dust mixed in the rice grains will also fall down the cracks of the flat basket? In the end, only clean rice grains are left.

However, at this time, Chen Xinxing did not have a flat basket in his hands, and it was impossible for him to make one by himself? Because the basket is made of bamboo strips, where can we find bamboo in the last days?

If you use a metal material? Is that purely self-inflicted? How hard does it take to sift an iron basket?

So at this time, it is necessary to use a little more modern means.

Sieving rice itself is a very classic and naïve application of physics knowledge, although the ancestors who did it in the first place may not have been able to understand the physical principles contained in it? But that doesn't stop them from doing so.

And know that the principle of sieving rice is to take advantage of the difference in weight between rice grains and husks? Use the wind to carry away the chaff and grain, and things will be easy to do.

Chen Xin only needs to make a blower, blow the mixture of rice and bran with a blower, and blow out the bran inside.

Blowers are not difficult to do, especially since separating the bran from the rice does not require much wind? Even an electric fan or a hand-cranked blower will do the job.

With the help of the system, make a hand-cranked blower on the workbench? And add a funnel to the air outlet of the blower, and make an opening on one side of the funnel? It is convenient for the separation of bran, and Chen Xin can easily obtain clean rice grains.

The chaff that was blown out was carefully collected by him in a small bag? Light brown rice grains in a bowl? Chen Xin couldn't wait to taste its taste.

Wash rice grains with water? Put it in an iron pot, add an appropriate amount of water and cook it together, and the rest is just waiting for the rice to cook.

While waiting for the rice to be cooked, Chen Xin went to the food pantry to celebrate today's harvest by cutting some Jinhua ham and Iberian ham, taking a cabbage, as well as canned pork and tuna.

Iberian ham is a raw ham, and the best way to eat it is to eat it freshly cut and eat it raw.

Although it can also be used as a salad or with bread and fruit, or as a soup or other hot dishes, the former is not conditional, and the latter is too wasteful.

So Chen Xin just cut a few slices and planned to use them with rice.

And Jinhua ham can be used in a wide range of applications, it can be used to fry cabbage, it can be used to stew soup, and even spread on rice and stew it together is an excellent delicacy.

Therefore, for the processing of Jinhua ham, Chen Xin cut half of the ham he cut into thin slices and intended to put it on the rice, while the remaining half was chopped into minced pieces and intended to be fried cabbage.

As for canned pork and canned tuna, it's just a side dish after heating.

Humming a pleasant tune and cutting cabbage, Chen Xin felt that he had found the joy of cooking for a long time.

Being able to take the chef certificate as a non-professional chef is enough to prove that Chen Xin really likes to cook, but the lack of ingredients after the end of the world has caused him to be unable to play his cooking skills and can only eat ready-made food, which really makes him want to cook for too long.

Although there are still only a few simple ingredients, I can make up one or two dishes.

Compared to the Shelter food, which was simply seasoned, the meal he was preparing in front of him was just as simple, but the taste and the sense of happiness and satisfaction it brought were completely different.

The former is just to fill your stomach, while the latter brings a real enjoyment of food.

In these extremely cold and dark times, it is a luxury to be able to enjoy the pleasure of real food.

But it has to be said that the abundance of food in many construction games can increase the happiness of the people and improve the morale of the warriors, which really makes sense and makes sense.

Eating well and eating well can indeed lead to a great sense of happiness and satisfaction.

This point was when Chen Xin added Jinhua ham to the rice, and as the rice gradually matured and exuded a rich fragrance, Chen Xin swallowed his saliva and had the deepest experience.
