But the ancient method of oil extraction, wooden tools need a lot, how can there be time now, late autumn is coming, the trade will be imminent, followed by the heavy snow winter, a lot of things to prepare.

So the oil pressing tools, she plans to tinker with them when she is idle in the winter, just stock up on the wood in advance, and put the others first.

In the end, among these nuts, acorns are the most versatile.

Sift out the stiff little acorns that you don't want, leave them for the cubs to play slingshots, spread the full particles to dry in the sun, then remove the shells, sort out the impurities, put them into a stone mortar and pound them into powder, rinse them with water, and then filter and precipitate them until they rinse off the bitter and astringent taste, and then dry them to make the best acorn powder.

Acorn powder can be eaten well.

Xu Yin taught the working women to use acorn flour and noodles to make pancakes.

It just so happened that the pheasants in captivity laid a lot of eggs, so the cubs picked them up in baskets, beat a few eggs into the batter, and sprinkled a handful of chopped wild onions and a pinch of salt, and the eggs were full of chives.

"It smells so good!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"I can't bear to eat it!"

Everyone held the small triangle pancakes in their hands, swallowed their saliva, and exchanged words.

When the pancakes are in their mouths, who has time to talk, the food has satisfied and enjoyed their taste buds in all directions.

After eating, I smashed my mouth and tasted it for a long time, and then let out a satisfied sigh: "It's so delicious!" ”

"It's the best I've ever eaten in my life."

Xu Yin smiled but did not speak.

Later, he led the women to make acorn tofu with acorn powder.

The acorn noodles without any bitter taste are poured into boiling water, stirred constantly, cooked thoroughly and cooled, and condensed into a delicious, soft but chewy acorn tofu.

Xu Yin used fried minced meat and chopped wild onions as condiments, sprinkled with salt and a little butter refined butter, and the fragrance spread with a "zila" sound.

Mix the condiments well and serve.

"What is this? It's delicious! ”

"Mother, I still want it!"

"Father, I still want to eat!"

The cubs seem to prefer acorn tofu over pancakes.

Xu Yin also likes this dish very much, because it is very refreshing, and it would be better if you could add some vinegar and butter and replace it with vegetable oil.

Others didn't care at first, but a bite also opened up a new world of taste buds:

"It's really delicious!"

"It's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life."

"You said that yesterday."

"Hahahaha-"

A few more days passed......

As soon as Xu Yin took out a bag of unground acorns from the cave, the women and cubs all gathered around: "Da Wu, what are you doing delicious today?" ”

"Dawu, you put it away, you need to do something, you say, let's come."

"Yes!"

If there is something delicious, you can do it!

Xu Yin couldn't help laughing: "If you don't eat today, you will make wine today." ”

The acorn starch content is high, it can be fermented and brewed, and the wine yield is higher than that of grain.

She's going to try.

When I went to dig the tubers of Panax notoginseng, I found a spicy knotweed that can be used to make koji along the way, and with it, I was able to make my own koji and make sake.

Speaking of wine, I don't know if the yellow-skinned fruit wine was brewed before.

Counting the time, it has been more than three months.

"Ah Chun, help me take out the jar in the far corner of the storage hole."

"Okay, big witch."

When Xu Yin smashed the acorns and dried off the hard shells, Ah Chun brought the wine jar over.

Xu Yin finished her work, washed her hands, opened the wine jar, and before she could take a closer look, she smelled a faint aroma of wine.

Although the aroma of the wine is not strong, it is finally brewed.

She couldn't help but laugh.

The women gathered around: "Dawu, this is what you made when you first came, is it called wine?" ”

"That's right! Wine, this is a fruit wine made from yellow peel fruits. ”

It's a pity that I wasn't too sure at the time, so I tried a little and didn't get much wine.

But each person has a shallow bowl of bottoms.

Therefore, that night, the Xu tribe toasted and drank together, sang and danced to celebrate the wine.

Although it was only this little wine, I didn't drink it to the fullest, but I was happy! Being able to brew one jar means being able to brew many jars.

No, the next day, Ah Chun took the women of the collection team, carrying self-defense bows and arrows, to pick all kinds of wild fruits, as long as the fruits were ripe, regardless of the type, they were all picked back.

Dawu said, sour is fine, on the contrary, the more sour the wine, the better it tastes.

Therefore, everyone picks very diligently, bags of wild fruits, not limited to sweet and sour, as long as they are fresh, they are all picked back to the tribe. If you can't finish eating, you can soak it into candied fruit like an olive and make it into fruit wine, which is better than rotting on the branches.

Xu Yin didn't go with them this time, she was thinking about the winterization of the breeding beasts.

A few years ago, chickens, sheep and slaughterers must have slaughtered a few heads, and they planned to make a Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meal, but the population is so small that they can't be eaten after all the slaughter.

So she was trying to figure out whether to build a bamboo hut with dry branches and hay on the roof to keep them warm, and then drive them into the shed when it snowed.

Big Eagle came to her: "Da Wu, it's less than a month before the trade fair, what will we take to trade this year?" ”

After the efforts of summer and autumn, the tribe has stockpiled a lot of supplies, and there is no shortage of essential salt.

In previous years, they went to the trade fair, mainly to change salt, but this year there is no such pressure.

But the people were bent on giving them some high-quality long-haired hides, so they urged the eagle to ask.

Xu Yin doesn't care, if you want to participate, you can go, anyway, there are a lot of things that can be traded.

Salt, pottery, jerky, straw sandals...... Oh yes, and the hemostatic powder she prepared after grinding the Panax notoginseng tuber, and divided it into mini clay bottles pinched by the cubs, each vial is about 30 grams. Let the eagles watch them come back in exchange for something valuable.

"Great Witch, the magic medicine is too valuable." The big eagle looked at the bottles of hemostatic dispersion, and was reluctant.

Anyway, the tribe is not short of food and salt this year, and it is enough to bring salt and pottery to the big witch for a long-haired animal skin.

As for them, they have rough skin and thick flesh, and they don't need it.

The cave that used to be so small has come over, but this year I moved, and the cave here is warm in winter and cool in summer, and everyone gathers together to build a bonfire in the cave to keep warm, and it will not be more difficult than before.

Xu Yin looked at his expression a little funny: "We have better ones, these are the most ordinary hemostatic powders, bring a few bottles to the trade fair, and come back in exchange for something you are interested in." ”

She also has a high-grade hemostatic powder mixed with deer antler, angelica, black grass root, angelica and other rooting hemostatic herbs, which is extremely sought after by martial arts masters.

But it's to be kept for your own tribe. Take it to trade, ordinary hemostatic powder is enough.

Hearing her say this, Dayak no longer struggled with the pain and arranged the transaction.

Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Big Eagle, this fair, I will lead the team, you stay behind, don't go out hunting recently, take everyone to set up the breeding shed, we will come back as soon as possible." ”

“……”

What? The Great Witch wants to go to the trade fair?
