Chapter 13: Chung Mi

The matter of pounding wheat is definitely a very boring job for Liu Qingxun, and the amount of this pounding wheat is very small, similar to pounding medicine, but the tool for pounding medicine is wood, and the stick of pounding wheat is a stone, and this power work has nothing to do with Liu Qingxun.

Liu Qingxun explained to Bai Yue in detail: Rice is to put cereals into a stone mortar, use a pestle to pound off the husk or mash it, and what comes out is rice bran. The remaining rice grains are the rice we eat, and the tool for pounding rice is a bit like a medicine pot, there is a mallet, a container, and the millet is smashed with a mallet, and the rice bran is smashed off.

When Bai Yue heard that there were indeed ready-made tools at home, he planned to try them himself to see if this method was feasible. Liu Qingxun told Bai Yue not to be in a hurry first, and then start cooking rice after eating a good meal, after all, this is an absolute strength job.

As soon as Bai Yun heard that this was a hard work, he wanted to show his brothers and sisters how powerful he was now, Liu Qingxun said to Bai Yun seriously: This is really not a process, and the process is not very complicated, Bai Yun can try it!

I saw Bai Yun take out a big stone hammer from home, and this stone hammer, in Liu Qingxun's opinion, needs three or four people to carry it. Liu Qingxun said directly to Bai Yun: You only need to lick it down, lift it up again, and then lick it down, so that the mechanical repetition is the rice licking.

Bai Yun and Bai Yue, because they were worried about the matter of Chung Mi, ate very quickly today, and after a while, they hurriedly finished eating the fish soup in front of them.

On the top of this mortar, there is a "sustenance body" made of a large tree segment, and under the head of the "sustenance" there is a pole and pestle, and the mouth of the pestle is pressed with iron teeth.

When Bai Yue started to cook rice, he did feel that this thing did have a lot of weight, and if he continued to repeat it mechanically, I believe that it would not be long before he would feel very tired. Bai Yue is not a person who blindly repeats mechanical movements, and when he was licking rice, he began to think about it on his own.

He tied a stone to the head of the "Tsui" to increase the weight, and the licking was more powerful, and Bai Yue, Bai Yue used skillful strength. In this way, it is not a job that requires too much effort for them, and by the time Bai Yun Bai Yue finished cooking rice, the two white tigers were already sweating.

Liu Qingxun looked at the two little tigers in front of him licking rice here, so he gently hummed the song of licking rice and cheered for them, and the tone was very cheerful and powerful. And they also began to rhythmically sing along with this tune.

After the rice was ready, Liu Qingxun looked at the white and tender rice and was happy. Happily told Bai Yue Baiyun that you can eat glutinous rice cakes tonight, or still use our old friend Muqin fruit, plus sweet sugar, you can boil the sugar into yellow in the pot today, it can be regarded as caramel! I don't know how brown sugar is made, caramel glutinous cake!

In the evening, after the caramel glutinous rice cake was baked, Bai Yun and Bai Yue were very happy to eat, the rice balls in their mouths were sticky and glutinous, and they didn't worry at all that the shell of the millet stuck in their throats couldn't be spit out, adding some troubles to the left and right. Bai Yun and Bai Yue's tiger whiskers were glued with syrup.

Then the next day, after everyone had breakfast, Bai Yue and Bai Yun ran to the square where everyone liked to gather with the tools of Chungmi, and showed everyone the technique of Chungmi.

The physical life of Chung Rice in the beast world is obviously not a particularly heavy physical work, and everyone is very happy to see that the wheat husk can be washed down to get white glutinous rice. Of course, there are also many young orcs who think this rice tool is very interesting, holding the tool in Bai Yunbaiyue's hand, and began to try it with friends, all the orcs looked at the rice in their hands, and couldn't help but feel fun, and they didn't cook the rice, and put it directly in their mouths to chew, which was even better than steamed rice in the shell.

Seeing that everyone was having a good time here, Bai Yun also began to sing the song of rice singing by Liu Qingxun yesterday to his friends.

The mortar is green-hearted, complaining about his father and mother. Complaining that my father and mother accept people's employment, how can I take care of the family if I am careful?

The mortar head is red, complaining about his father and mother, and complaining about the matchmaker. Complaining that my father and mother accept people's employment, how can I be a person if I am careful?

The mortar head hurt his waist, and the husband heard the hurried tide; Find no black chicken to replenish the abdomen, and find no fir board to press the waist.

The mortar head hurt his foot, and the husband heard that he was coming; Looking for no black chicken to replenish the abdomen, looking for no cedar board to press the feet.

The little animals thought that the song sung by Bai Yun was very interesting, so they begged Bai Yun to start teaching, and Bai Yun sang over and over again, and the friends sang along with Bai Yun. After singing it a few times, everyone knows how to sing it, and this song is not only popular among children but also among adults.

What Liu Qingxun didn't know was that when it came to Chungmi in the second year, this song had become a tune exclusive to Chungmi's season.

Bai Yue also took this opportunity to make a lot of money, Bai Yue and his companions in his clan took the cooked rice and put it on the grass market to sell, and in just two days, they made a lot of money back, some necessities, some small snacks that they usually eat, and some dried fruits.

Of course, many orcs expressed great interest in how they cooked rice, and wanted Bai Yue to teach them, but Bai Yue and they did not refuse. After telling the orcs about the method, some orcs went home to try it, but found that the tool was different from what Bai Yue said, so they returned to the grass market and explained the situation to Bai Yue.

After learning of this, Bai Yue asked some of his companions to go back to the tribe and make more tools. So Bai Yue and the others not only bought the good rice, but also sold the rice tools. For a while, the Xingyue tribe was a lot richer, and many small tribes looked at this cheap rice tool and were very grateful for the good deeds of Bai Yue.

The tool has caused a sensation and is very popular with small tribes, but for some large tribes, this tool is also the icing on the cake. After Ling Jueyi got the rice licking tool, he was very interested and tried it himself, looking at the rice that had indeed been licked. raised his eyebrows with interest, summoned the people who were monitoring Liu Qingxun and their family, and made it clear that they should find a suitable time to invite Liu Qingxun to the tribe, and such a person should shine in his own tribe.

And Liu Qingxun didn't know that he had been targeted by the tribal chief of the tribe next door, and at that time, Liu Qingxun was still happily asking Bai Yue for his autumn clothes.

He also shouted in his mouth: Bai Yue and Bai Yun's hair is oily and smooth, and they look very beautiful. I don't have it, I want it. When you want to hunt in the white moon, pick beautiful small animals to hunt, and you are not allowed to tear the fur.

Bai Yue happily agreed, saying that girls just want to dress up well. Bai Yun seems to have hunted pythons more well recently, or it may be more familiar. He said to his sister that he caught a python for his sister, stripped off the python skin, dressed her sister in snake skin, and asked her sister what color python she liked. Liu Qingxun replied: You let me wear snakeskin, I can walk and twist it into snakeskin, how terrifying is this thing, you still want me to wear it, do you want me to dance laser rain?

After arguing with the white tiger, Liu Qingxun began to think about the next step in making salt.

If you want to improve the quality of salt, then you need to remove the impurities of salt, but some impurities are easy to remove, but these obvious impurities are very easy to come out, but you clearly remember that there are some harmful ions in these impurities, such as sulfate ions, magnesium ions, how to remove these?

Anyway, sedimentation and filtration are indispensable after all.

Liu Qingxun sat alone next to the pool, bathing in the sun, watching the sunlight shine on the crystals in the pool, and his thoughts were as shining as the salt in the pool. Ah, what a dilemma for myself as an art student! Eventually, art students became agronomists and science students. She couldn't help but say it, a little funny.

After Liu Qingxun's meditation, Liu Qingxun felt that he could first take a small amount of fresh water and add the coarse salt he had made, make saturated salt water first, and precipitate and filter it first.

As for the next steps, Liu Qingxun felt that it was better to take one step at a time, after all, it was still a little difficult for her to practice. Damn, why is there a sugar factory next to your house? And not a salt plant? If my home was a salt factory, I wouldn't have lost my hair now, although I haven't lost much hair, but it is undeniable that I am the person with the least hair in my family.

Looking at Bai Yun and Bai Yue's oily and slippery fur, Liu Qingxun couldn't help but drool with envy, eat white tiger stew tonight.

Liu Qingxun held the salt block in his hand alone, of course Liu Qingxun knew the control variable method, and it was impossible to add fresh water to the coarse salt in this pool to make saturated salt water. In case of failure, the first step will be redone, Liu Qingxun took a knife and pried a few pieces of salt down, put it in the big water tank at home, and then lay down on the bed heavily, not because she didn't work hard, but because he was too painful, too sad, and his hair fell out.

When Bai Yun and Bai Yue returned home and planned to have dinner, there was no trace of dinner on the table, so Bai Yue appointed to cook for the two ancestors in the family, and after cooking, he felt a little thirsty and ran to the water tank to scoop water to drink, Liu Qingxun still fell asleep, and did not tell him that there was salt in it, Bai Yue drank it and tasted wrong, and thought that Bai Yun took the salt and put it in the water tank to play, Bai Yun tried to explain, Bai Yue realized that this was Liu Qingxun's next move.

After apologizing to Bai Yun, he began to have dinner with his younger brother, Bai Yun looked at the pool of salt water and fell into deep thought, then he needs to wash his face with salt water at night? Forget it, I don't go to the river to wash my face at night, so let's go to the river to wash my face! Tomorrow, I will take my private money to buy a tank in the grass market and honor my brothers and sisters.

Bai Yue watched Bai Yun eat a good meal and ran to the river to wash and drink water, and always felt that this child's behavior was a little stupid. The opposite side of the yard at home is inclined upward, and there is a spring after walking a few steps.
