31 kudzu

Mu Feng was holding a stone spear, Yao Xiaoqing was carrying a sapper shovel, and the two looked around vigilantly.

The group did not dare to delay for a moment, and they ran all the way, and they did not relax until they walked out of the forest. After resting for a while, Mu Feng took Yaohu's wooden stick, and several people carried the black bear down the mountain.

Entering the yard, Hua looked at the big black bear in surprise, "Ah! You caught such a big black bear. ”

"Alas! Don't say it," Biao sighed, "I was almost scared to death by a black bear today, and this dead bear stared at Xiaoqing for some reason, and was ...... by her"

Everyone watched him play with the treasure, and waited for him to show off. Yaohu smiled and patted him, "Go and skin the black bear." ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said to Yao Hu: "Father, snake gall bladder and bear paw are both good things, you remember to stay." You are hungry, and I will make food for you. ”

"Okay, I'll keep it for you later." Yaohu said with a smile.

Hua followed her into the cave, "Xiaoqing, Shan and Shui Bo dug up a bunch of things when they were cutting trees at the foot of the mountain, we dug them when we were in the tribe, and they said that they couldn't eat it when they bit like tree bark. ”

Following the direction of the flower's finger, Yao Xiaoqing saw a basket full of things like big tree roots in the basket, she walked to the basket, picked up one and looked at it, it turned out to be kudzu.

This thing is also good, it can be made into flour to fry duck quiche, and it can also be eaten with mush, and I heard that it can also lower blood pressure and enlarge breasts.

The hard thing is, what kind of filter is used after mashing? Yao Xiaoqing looked at Ge Gen and made a difficulty.

Hua saw her frowning, "Xiaoqing, can you eat it?" There's a big patch growing down the mountain! ”

"You can eat it, it's just a little troublesome, you make food, I'll call Shangmu Feng to take it to the pond and wash it."

Yao Xiaoqing walked outside the cave, and suddenly thought of the people who planted kudzu in the village in the previous life, and used kudzu vine leaf nodes to press the soil for breeding. Although kudzu is not a staple food, it is better than eating wild vegetables and barbecue every day! It seems that you have to look for potatoes in the woods, like yam feet.

Yao Xiaoqing didn't care about washing the kudzu root, and hurriedly walked down the mountain.

Shan was surprised to see her, "Xiaoqing, why did you come back so soon?" Father, what about them? ”

"Father, they skinned the bear at home, and we hunted a big black bear. Uncle Shan, those roots you dug up there? ”

"A big black bear, no wonder you're back. We went to see the trap early in the morning and there was nothing in it. Shan took Yao Xiaoqing towards the place where the kudzu roots had grown, "I know, you know how to eat those tree roots." ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Uncle Shan, that one is called kudzu, not tree roots." ”

Shan smiled and said, "Just call it the root of the kudzu tree, you can eat it." Some of them have been dug up in the soil, and they will be dug out after a while. ”

Shan pointed to the vines in the forest and said to Yao Xiaoqing, "Look, it's the kind of vine that grows under it. ”

Yao Xiaoqing saw that the shrubs in the forest were crawling with vines like carob vines, and the leaves grew a bit like lentil leaves.

She lifted a thick vine and said to the mountain: "Uncle Shan, you and Shui Bo loosen the soil below, and then pull up such a kudzu vine, press the leaf nodes in the soil, and more kudzu roots will grow out next year." ”

Shan nodded happily, "Okay, I'll call Uncle Shui and Uncle Worm to come over, and you can teach us carefully." ”

Yao Xiaoqing asked them to dig up the soil under the leaf nodes first, put the leaf nodes on the loose soil, and plow the soil and press it on top to wait for it to take root.

She recalled that it would take nearly a month for the leaf knot to take root again, so she would go back and record it, and then she would cut it off.

Watching the three of them press a few leaf knots, Yao Xiaoqing looked at the mountain, "Uncle Shan, if you see yams and foot plates in the future, remember to dig them up and plant them." ”

Shan nodded and said, "We know that thing, and when we see it, we dig it and plant it." ”

Yao Xiaoqing returned to the yard from the bottom of the mountain and saw that the peeled black bear skin had been hung on the fence with bamboo pieces to dry.

Several people were dismembering the black bear with stone knives, watching them painstakingly cut off pieces of meat with stone knives and lay them on stone slabs.

When Yu and Mu Feng saw Yao Xiaoqing coming back, one of them walked towards her with two bear paws and a grin.

Mu Feng held a bear paw in one hand and a bear bile that had been poured dry in the other, "Xiaoqing, you said that bear bile and bear paw are good things, give them to you, we will keep them for you." Do you want to make something delicious? ”

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at the two of them and thought: The two of them are foodies, they don't have any seasonings, and they can't even suppress the fishy smell, can they be delicious? It's better to concoct it first, and then make it when you have the seasoning.

The method of concoction has been seen in the Chinese medicine dictionary that my father bought, clean up the claws and hair, paste the soil and dry it in the shade.

But what's going on with this bear bile? The bile is gone, is bear bile still bear bile?

"Brother, leave the bear's paw, and throw away that guts!"

After hearing this, Mu Feng threw the bear bile skin into the outer forest, and said with a smile: "I'll just say it!" How can something so bitter be a good thing. ”

Yu looked at the bear paw in his hand, revealing a slanderous look, "Xiaoqing, will you make bear paws for us to eat tonight?" ”

"Brother Yan, this thing has to be dried and left for a few days before it can be eaten, you first clean up the fine hairs and claws on the bear's paws, and put it there until I come back to make it."

Yu nodded a little disappointed, "Xiaoqing, what are you going to do?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked at his disappointed appearance and secretly laughed in his heart.

"Uncle Shan, they dug some kudzu and came back, I want my brother to accompany me to wash the kudzu by the ditch under the mountain."

Pueraria! I knew that what she was talking about was something like a tree root, and it tasted like eating a tree root, and it didn't taste good at all. He took the two bear paws in Mu Feng's hands and waved his hand: "Go ahead!" I'll go with my whole bear paw. ”

Seeing that he was not interested at all, Yao Xiaoqing laughed.

The brother and sister ate something, carried the kudzu to the ditch, pulled a handful of grass and began to scrub the kudzu.

Mu Feng took one and asked, "Xiaoqing, how do you wash it out?" Can it be delicious? ”

"It's delicious to make kudzu powder. It's a little troublesome, wash and peel the skin, cut the pieces and put them in the bucket and mash them, add water and rub them a few times to filter the impurities, and change the water a few times to precipitate the kudzu root powder. Kudzu powder can be eaten with duck eggs, wild vegetables to make cakes, and fried ......"

Mu Feng became energetic after hearing this, and said with a smile, "If you had said that the kudzu root was delicious earlier, I would have rushed to wash it." ”

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Let him wash the kudzu that he digs in the future." ”

The brother and sister laughed and washed the kudzu, carried it back to the yard, cut it with a stone axe, and put it in a basket. Yao Xiaoqing put the kudzu block into the wooden barrel, asked Mu Feng to find two wooden sticks, and pulled Yu to pound the kudzu root at once.

She put a layer of mud on the bear's paws she had cleaned up, hung them on the fence to dry, and began to find a way to strain the kudzu powder. I went back to the bamboo shed and took out two pieces of cotton body and looked at it, and felt that it was impossible for arrowroot powder to be filtered out of the fine cotton body tree, so I put the body body back in a stupid way.
