Chapter 283: Pushing the Stone Mill

Gu Bai said: "The aura is still recovering, and no one can say how long this process will last. There will certainly be more and more variations of plants and animals in the future.

There will be not only mutant spiders, mutant wasps, but also mutant vipers, mutant rats, mutant bugs, mutant ants, and so on.

We are now suffering from a lack of manpower, so we can only defend the town. But as long as we have enough strength and enough manpower, we can take the initiative to go to the jungle to search. Nip danger in the bud before it happens. ”

Qiao Dayu sighed with emotion, "There is a long way to go!"

Gu Bai said: "That's why the Special Investigation Bureau has been set up above, and the Special Investigation Bureau has been given so much power. The role of the Special Investigation Bureau is not only to discover and cultivate talents for the country. The more important duty is to maintain social stability. ”

Qiao Dayu peeled peanuts, feeling a little heavy, "I have to be glad that there has not been a large-scale injury of mutant animals in China." ”

Gu Bai said solemnly: "This kind of thing will happen sooner or later. The teaching of the Taoist Academy has to be increased. Don't make it too easy for trainees. ”

Qiao Dayu touched his thinning hair, "There are thousands of things, and you can only deal with them one by one." ”

Gu Bai picked up the teacup and took a sip. He didn't speak, but his eyes said it all, and he wasn't as optimistic as Qiao Dayu.

There have been no large-scale injuries, and it can only be said that the time has not yet come. In the matter of aura recovery, Gu Bai did not dare to pin his hopes on luck.

Luck is too elusive.

Lu Zhan asked curiously, "Where did the wasp injury incident you just mentioned happen?"

Gu Bai said softly: "Sunset Country." ”

Lu Zhan frowned, "It's winter over there." ”

Gu Bai nodded, "So it's abnormal." Animals no longer follow the laws of the four seasons. I don't know what will happen in the summer, when everything grows. ”

Qiao Dayu picked up the teacup, "Drink tea." Lao Gu, don't think so much. It's not summer yet, and we still have months to prepare, so what are we afraid of? Besides, there is still Brother Lu here, we can't help it, Brother Lu must have a way. ”

Lu Zhan smiled, "Qiao Ju, I'm not omnipotent. When I encounter tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of hornets, I am helpless. ”

With lightning strikes?

With such a small size and such a fast flying speed, he had to summon many heavenly thunderbolts to kill the hornet.

I'm afraid that the thunder hasn't come down yet, and the hornets have fled.

Qiao Dayu also frowned, "I hate this kind of insect with a huge number and small size the most. It's simply a nemesis. Lao Gu, you have a suggestion from the above, it is time to increase the intensity of training and cultivate more talents. The previous step-by-step approach is probably not going to work. There is still a lot more research and development of poisons against mutated insects. ”

Gu Bai said: "The above knows better than us how serious the situation is. As for poison research and development, insecticides can't even kill ordinary insects, let alone mutated insects. Forget it, don't talk about that. Today is Mr. Lu's housewarming, and I should say something happy. ”

Lu Zhan smiled: "It's okay with me. By the way, have you ever pushed a stone mill?"

Qiao Dayu was stunned, "Stone mill, is it the stone mill I thought?"

Lu Zhan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's the stone mill you think." I soaked some soybeans and prepared to make bean curd to eat in the evening, and I also planned to make some tofu and dried tofu. I'm going to grind it out using the traditional method, stone grinding. Which of you two has done this?"

Qiao Dayu and Gu Bai shook their heads.

They all grew up in the city and had seen stone mills, but they had never pushed them.

Lu Zhan said with a smile: "Pushing the stone mill is very simple, as long as you master the frequency." And you two have a lot of strength, and you won't feel tired when you change pushing. ”

Gu Bai said: "Then we will push the stone mill." ”

Qiao Dayu laughed, "I haven't pushed the stone mill since I grew so big." Today, I will break a * here with Brother Lu. ”

Lu Zhan soaked eight catties of soybeans and started soaking them last night. The soybeans have been soaked until they are swollen. Large, deep wooden barrels filled with soybeans soaked until they swelled.

When I lifted it, I felt that it weighed dozens of pounds.

Lu Zhan said to Qiao Dayu and Gu Bai: "After soaking eight catties of soybeans, today's task is a bit heavy." ”

"It's okay, anyway, Lao Gu and I have a lot of strength. ”

Three people walked into the operation room.

This Lu Zhan took a bucket of water and cleaned the stone mill.

Specially made from the remote mountainous area of the stone mill, very large, very traditional. The long pushrod, with each push, the stone mill will rotate half a turn.

Lu Zhan said to the two: "You two push and look first, find the feel." ”

"I'll come first. ”

Qiao Dayu was eager to try.

Push it, it's very simple, it's not heavy at all.

Lu Zhan reminded, "We must maintain a frequency that is neither fast nor slow." It is necessary not only to grind the soybeans into soy milk, but also to give enough time to facilitate the people next to them to put the soybeans in. ”

The stone mill is divided into two layers. The lower level is fixed and also carries a sink. The sink loops around the stone mill and finally extends. The ground raw soy milk flows into the wooden barrel along the extended trough.

The upper layer of the stone mill is a circular movable stone slab with a recessed hole in the middle. Once the beans have been soaked, they are put in through the hollow hole. Push the stone mill, and as soon as the upper and lower layers are crushed, the swollen soybeans will be ground into raw soybean milk.

Qiao Dayu pushed a few times and said confidently: "No problem." ”

Lu Zhan smiled softly, picked up the water scoop, scooped a scoop of soybeans and put them in the stone cave.

Qiao Dayu pushed the stone mill, and soon, raw soy milk flowed out of the stone mill groove and finally flowed into the wooden barrel placed under the sink.

Lu Zhan maintained the frequency of putting a scoop of soybeans in two circles, and he and Qiao Dayu cooperated quite tacitly.

When Gu Bai saw it, he was also eager to try, "Mr. Lu, I'll put soybeans." ”

Lu Zhan nodded, "That's okay." Thank you for your hard work, I'm going to kill all the chickens and ducks. Cook roast duck tomorrow. ”

As soon as Qiao Dayu heard the roast duck, he immediately became excited, "Brother Lu, will you really make roast duck tomorrow?"

Lu Zhan nodded, "Yes, I'll make roast duck tomorrow." ”

"I'm 100% not going back tonight, just waiting for tomorrow to eat roast duck. ”

After saying that, Qiao Dayu drooled.

Gu Bai is also quite greedy. However, he is introverted, or sullen, not as outgoing as Qiao Dayu.

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "If you can get a little lamb, I can also try to make a roasted whole lamb." ”

Qiao Dayu immediately said: "I will call Mr. Su immediately and ask Mr. Su to prepare whole sheep and suckling pigs." Anyway, it's all roasted, and there shouldn't be much difference between roasting whole sheep and roasting suckling pig. ”

Lu Zhan said: "Pigs and sheep should be sent a few days later. Tomorrow I will only make roast duck. ”

Qiao Dayu said, "Okay, I know." Would you like someone to bring some firewood?"

Lu Zhan nodded, "Yes!" I also told Zhou Chen before that he would try to arrange for someone to send firewood over tomorrow. But I'm worried that it's not enough, so you can arrange for someone to send some over. ”

Qiao Dayu looked at Gu Bai.

Gu Bai said: "I know people who work on the forest farm. I called him and asked him to bring some firewood. ”

Lu Zhan said: "I'll give the money." ”

Gu Bai smiled: "A little firewood money, Mr. Lu don't rob us." Otherwise, Old Joe and I will be embarrassed to eat you and live yours. ”

Lu Zhan laughed and said, "You paid the living expenses. ”

"That little living expenses are nothing. That's it. ”
