Chapter 54: I made a drying room
The solution that Shen Yuerong thought of was to dry the wolfberries.
However, the wolfberry fruit is small, so it is not suitable to be roasted directly on the firewood, so that the appearance is easy to burn and black, and the inside is still not dry.
Shen Yuerong decided to use this hut to make a simple drying room.
But you have to move the wine away first, otherwise the temperature is too high, and the wine jar may burst if it can't stand it, and then it will be a big loss.
Sun and Qian moved all the wine jars they had just moved into the house under the canopy.
Shen Yuerong asked Liu to borrow a stove and charcoal basin for heating in winter, and then went back to his house to bring a stove and charcoal basin.
She put two stoves and two charcoal pots under the eaves instead of moving them directly into the house.
He also brought charcoal, and prepared to make a charcoal fire.
Liu Shi was a little puzzled: "Yue'er, it's not cold today, what are you doing with charcoal?" ”
Shen Yuerong explained: "Grandma Liu, I want to dry wolfberries. ”
Liu suddenly realized: "Then what are you doing with charcoal fire?" Directly make firewood, I have it at home, the firewood is big, and it is roasted quickly. ”
After Liu finished speaking, she was about to carry firewood, but Shen Yuerong grabbed her hand.
"Grandma Liu, the firewood is too big, and it is easy to bake the wolfberries black when you roast them directly. I don't make a charcoal fire to roast the wolfberries directly, but to roast the air in the house, and the air is hot, so that the house heats up neatly, so that the wolfberries will slowly lose water in the high-temperature environment and then dry out. ”
Liu Shi was confused, but she understood that firewood would roast wolfberries black, so she didn't move firewood, but watched Shen Yuerong operate it on the side.
Shen Yuerong lit charcoal fires on the two stoves and two charcoal basins, and when the charcoal was fully burned, there was slowly no smoke, only the fiery red light remained, and then she called Aunt Sun and Aunt Qian to move the stove into the room where the wolfberries were placed, and then came out and closed the door.
The Sun, Qian, and Liu looked at each other.
That's it? Does this really dry goji berries?
The girl of the Shen family is smart and powerful, she is here to help, and she can't think of any way, so just watch.
About an hour later, the rain still didn't stop.
Sun, Qian, and Liu, the three of them sat on the side and chatted.
Shen Yuerong looked at it for a long time and wanted to see if the drying room was feasible, so she opened the door of the hut.
The three people who were chatting on the side stopped talking and came over curiously.
As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat hit me.
In this not cold season, it is a little uncomfortable to get hot.
But Shen Yuerong was very happy in her heart, enough to ignore this discomfort on her body.
When I went inside, I found that the hut was even hotter than the door.
The indoor temperature of this oven must be 20 degrees higher than that of the outside, which is enough to dry a small wolfberry, even if it can't be dried for a while, it is no problem to let the wolfberry lose some moisture, as long as it loses some moisture, wait for the sun to come out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so that the wolfberry is not easy to deteriorate and blacken.
Shen Yuerong exited the room with a look of surprise on the three of them, it was really hot and uncomfortable.
Only then did the three of them understand how smart Shen Yuerong's approach was.
Liu Shi was the first to speak: "Yue'er, you are so smart, the room is so warm, the wolfberries we picked will definitely not be bad." ”
Shen Yuerong smiled: "Well, don't worry, I definitely won't let our wolfberries go bad." ”
By the evening, the rain had finally stopped.
Shen Yuerong checked the wolfberries in the drying room and found that they had dried a lot, and at least they would not be bad until the sun rose tomorrow.
If there is no sun tomorrow, continue to dry it in the same way.
I don't plan to bake tonight, it's not safe to burn charcoal fire without anyone watching, and it's not safe to put the wine jar outside.
Shen Yuerong extinguished the charcoal fire and beckoned the Sun family and the Qian family to move the wine jar back.
Although the charcoal fire was extinguished in the hut, the residual warmth was still there, and Aunt Sun and Aunt Qian were sweating profusely.
Shen Yuerong was a little overbearing, but today the wine jar was moved back and forth, and the work done by the two helpers was worth two days, but now he really doesn't have any extra funds.
She said to the Sun family and the Qian family: "Aunt Sun, Aunt Qian, I have worked hard for you today, and when my batch of wine is sold, I will definitely give you a bonus money." ”
Sun and Liu were still happy in their hearts, smiled and went home.
The next day it didn't rain, but the sun didn't come out, but it was cloudy.
When Shen Yuerong went to the winery, he found that the Sun family and the Qian family had already arrived.
They had moved all the jars under the canopy, and a charcoal fire was being lit.
Sun saw Shen Yuerong say hello and explained: "Shen family girl, you are here, I see that it is cloudy today, and I don't know if it will rain, so I will put the wine jar under the canopy first, and if the sun comes out in a while, we will move to the yard again." ”
Shen Yuerong nodded, the more she looked at these two helpers now, the more she liked them.
Aunt Sun talks more, is diligent and bold.
Aunt Qian doesn't talk much, but she works carefully and carefully.
Both of them are very neat, and they are both good at work.
Shen Yuerong stepped forward to help make a charcoal fire.
With yesterday's experience, the three of them quickly got rid of the charcoal fire and put it into the house.
Then the three of them were in the courtyard to see when the weather would be beautiful.
Fortunately, before noon, the sun appeared in Shen Yuerong's expectation.
Liu Shi saw the sun coming out, and came over from the front yard excitedly: "Yue'er, the sun is out, you are really a blessed person, I will help you move the wolfberries out to bask in the sun." ”
Shen Yuerong's face was also full of excitement, she went back to the house to extinguish the charcoal fire, and planned to take out the wolfberries to dry.
She touched the wolfberry and found that the wolfberry was almost dry, after all, the wolfberry particles are so small, and they are evenly spread.
As long as the room temperature is high, it will naturally dry quickly.
It seems that the effect of this oven is much better than I expected.
It seems that after half a day of drying today, the wolfberries can be put away, and the method of this drying room is good.
Since this method works, you don't have to worry about rainy days in the future.
The rain in Fenglin Town is still very sufficient, so there is no need to worry about the drying and storage of medicinal materials in the rainy season.
Shen Yuerong was full of gratitude for yesterday's rain, not only did she not cause any trouble, but also made her fully prepared for the rainy days in the future.
This is the so-called blessing of misfortune.
At this time, Lin Muqiu was crying at her mother's house.
"Mother, the croton you gave me last time was discovered by that cheap girl, and she forced me to eat braised pork with croton, I pulled all night, and I couldn't get out of bed the next day." Lin Muqiu cried and complained to her mother's family.
The old woman who listened to Lin Muqiu's crying stood up angrily, her eyes widened, and the flesh on her cheeks trembled violently.
"This cheap hoof, I didn't marry her last time, and now it's getting more and more difficult to deal with!"
