Smashing bamboo mats?

The bamboo mat that was finally woven can be smashed wherever it can be said. What if it's smashed, or half-broken or scratched?

Jiang Jingwan pondered for a moment and said, "Either put a layer of grass on top of the bamboo mat, which is moisture-proof and soft." ”

She was getting more and more pregnant, and she couldn't cut bamboo, so she only planned to sleep on this big bamboo mat.

In the past, it was not the case that a layer of branches was laid first, and then a layer of hay was spread. Changing to a bamboo mat and spreading hay will only make it more comfortable.

Xia Zhi nodded: "Just make a single bamboo mat a little more fine." ”

"Done." Wen Xian nodded and said, "Then take the hay out to dry and put it on at night." If you want to cut bamboo, go ahead, and come back with a basket of chestnuts by the way. I weave a bamboo basket to catch pheasants at home, and by the way, I take the eldest and fourth to deal with yesterday's chestnuts and bamboo shoots. ”

Chestnuts and bamboo shoots are properly handled and can last up to a year after drying. This is much better than seafood and wild vegetables.

Therefore, Wen Xian planned to prepare more and keep it for the winter.

Chestnuts are particularly prone to small insects, so you have to pick them before you deal with them. Only pick the intact ones out for disposal, and eat or throw away the ones that are obviously wormholes or flattened ones that are small.

Otherwise, in the process of preservation, as long as one chestnut rots, more chestnuts will rot.

After picking the chestnuts, put them all into the large pot of the earthen stove, pour the water that has not covered the chestnuts into it, and add a large spoonful of salt.

Next, stir and scrub the chestnuts directly. This not only cleans off impurities on the surface of the chestnut, but also allows the salt to fully dissolve in the water.

After a simple scrub, let the chestnuts soak in salted water for half an hour. During the soaking process, if there are any residual insects in the chestnut, they will be soaked out.

And salt has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, which can make chestnut cleaning more clean.

After soaking, take out the chestnuts and spread them in a basket, put them in a ventilated place, and dry them for a day or two to completely dry the moisture in the chestnuts.

There is still a lot of work to be done after drying, Wen Xian hurried up the time, and while spreading the chestnuts with Jiang Jingwan and Zhou Hui, she told them the next steps.

After all, she couldn't keep an eye on it all the time, and she wanted to speed up her pace to find cotton and catch game.

"You also need to prepare some sand and salt, and the sand needs to be dried for a few days like chestnuts to dry the water inside."

In fact, liquor is still needed, but now there is no liquor in this condition, so this can only be kicked out.

When the ingredients are ready, pour the sun-dried sand and salt into the pot, turn on the high heat, and stir constantly.

Fry until the sand is white in color, completely dry and free of lumps, then turn off the heat. Put the fried sand in a cool and ventilated place and let it cool completely.

After the sand and dried chestnuts are ready, find a clean long bamboo tube, first pour a layer of dry sand into the bottom of the bamboo tube, and then put in a layer of chestnuts.

Just like this layer of sand and layer of chestnut until the bamboo tube is full. At the top of the bamboo tube, a little more sand needs to be poured to ensure that the chestnut is completely submerged inside.

Finally, seal the bamboo tube filled with chestnuts and sand and put it in a cool and ventilated place to keep the chestnuts from going bad for half a year.

The trouble is a little troublesome, but as long as you can eat chestnuts in winter, it will be done.

Zhou Hui wanted to speak and stopped, and her face was puzzled: "Madam, we have so many chestnuts, if we all use bamboo tubes, how many bamboo tubes will be enough." Moreover, although the bamboo tube is long but narrow, a bamboo tube cannot hold many chestnuts. ”

The thought of the chestnuts with two more trees made her heart tremble. The chestnuts are all packed in bamboo tubes, and I am afraid that they will have to be piled high, and they are not worth it.

Thinking of the bamboo tube like a firewood pile, Wen Xian's eyelids jumped: "Do you have any good proposals?" ”

If it is really packed in a bamboo tube, it seems that it is really not worth it.

Zhou Hui was embarrassed, but Jiang Jingwan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you dig a hole in the wall of the cave and weave a larger bamboo basket." Put chestnuts and sand in a bamboo basket, stuff them into a hole dug in the wall of the cave, and seal the outside with stones? ”

When it comes to airtightness, the hole dug must have a place. In addition, there are bamboo baskets, so that the chestnuts will not get wet. It's still on the wall of the cave and doesn't take up space.

The more Jiang Jingwan thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was good, and she looked up at Wen Xian with blazing eyes.

Wen Xian pondered for a moment and said, "This method is very good, but the cave wall is not so easy to chisele. Try it, and if that doesn't work, build a storage box and put the basket in it. ”

Jiang Jingwan and Zhou Hui came to the end, and immediately went into the cave to dig the cave wall.

Wen Xian hurriedly shouted to them: "Don't worry, let's deal with the bamboo shoots." There are not many bamboo shoots, so just use the bamboo tube to store them. ”

If bamboo shoots want to be preserved for a long time, they must be made into dried bamboo shoots.

The bamboo shoots are cut into large slices, put in a pot with water, add a spoonful of salt, and cook for about a quarter of an hour.

Salt is added to the water, and after the bamboo shoots absorb the salt, it is conducive to long-term storage. But the bamboo shoots should not be cut too thinly, otherwise there will not be much after drying.

After the bamboo shoots are cooked and removed, they are soaked in cold water to cool down.

Then lay the bamboo shoots flat and let them dry in the sun for about three days, and then dry them.

The dried bamboo shoots should also be sealed well and stored in a cool and ventilated place to avoid moisture. In this way, these dried bamboo shoots will not go bad even if they are left for a year.

If stored properly, the texture and taste of bamboo shoots will not change much.

If you want to eat bamboo shoots in the future, you only need to soak the dried bamboo shoots in water for an hour in advance. After soaking, it can be fried, stir-fried, and stewed, and the taste is similar to that of fresh.

After explaining the matter of chestnuts and bamboo shoots, Wen Xian began to weave bamboo baskets with the broken strips last night.

There are not many strips, only enough to weave a bamboo basket to catch pheasants. The chestnuts can only be used to store chestnuts after a few people who cut the bamboo come back, and then use a large knife to break the slivers.

Wen Xian's fingers flew and she made the bamboo basket as fast as she could. Then he found a wooden stick about 20 centimeters long, tied it to a long vine, and then carried a bamboo basket and a few boiled chestnuts and clam meat to the mountain.

Zhou Hui couldn't help but want to go with Wen Xian again, but was cruelly rejected again on the grounds that the chestnuts and bamboo shoots had not been dealt with yet.

She looked at Wen Xian's distant back aggrievedly, and her eyes were very sad.

Jiang Jingwan couldn't help but chuckle and comforted: "Don't worry, Madame is both civil and military, nothing will happen." ”

Wen Xian didn't think about it so much, she was going to the place where the hare was found at this moment. She was going to set a trap there and watch to see if she could catch pheasants, hares, or whatever.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and the trap has not been set yet, and the familiar sound of wild boars has come from far and near.

Wen Xian's back was cold, and she couldn't help wailing in her heart, she didn't bring a dagger and a big knife!
