Chapter 1286 [1285] The Buried Female Farming Chronicle 13(5100)

While the father and son were busy transporting grapes, Bai He carried the jelly fruits down the mountain first. The reason why she just got so many grapes was because the space could be upgraded to level seventeen after harvesting tonight. Level seventeen

There will be beets, the raw material for making white sugar. With the white sugar made from beets, are you still worried about not being able to make good fruit wine?

She bought two ceramic jars weighing 10 to 20 kilograms last time, but they haven't been used yet. Now they can be used to make grape wine.

After the father and son of the Wei family came down, they saw the jars she was cleaning and said, "I have two at home, can I move them down for you?"

"That's good. I was originally worried that these wouldn't fit, and I was planning to find a way to make two more. Then please move them down for me quickly and wash them out together."

Four jars can hold eighty kilograms. After the grapes are sorted, washed, and seeds removed, the remaining juice should be able to hold them.

If it can't fit, just put it in the space first. Anyway, they are not oversized, so I don't know how much they can carry.

Although the wild grapes in the mountains are sweet enough and small enough, if no sugar is added during the brewing process, the taste will be very poor.

Fortunately, she grew sugar cane, and the sucrose cubes could be broken into pieces and used as rock sugar. However, the existing technology could not extract white sugar or rock sugar, so she chose to use sucrose cubes and went back to the mountains to see if there were any wild ones.

Honey, using honey to replace white sugar and rock sugar is also a good choice.

"Okay, you are quite tired, go up and rest for a while, and then leave it to me."

After the father and son left, the earthen pots that were dried yesterday had to be processed for the next step, so she first put all the grapes into the space, washed the jars, and placed them in a sunny place to be empty, and then went to dig at the foot of the mountain.

A basket of clay was carried up the mountain.

While no one was looking, she moved a lot of extra clay into the space. She wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could make another jar that could hold a hundred kilograms of grape wine.

After the bottom of the pot is dried, you have to use a relatively rough wooden brush to scrape the bottom of the pot to make it smoother, without pits or wrinkles. This urgent task requires patience and is made purely by hand. It tests the skill of the craftsman. Of course, as a

As a non-professional, her level is definitely not comparable to that of some inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. What she has to do is to be eye-catching, as long as there are no major flaws. No matter how perfect she is, she can't make it.

After the bottom of the pot is scraped, it is time to drill the fire holes. The positions of the fire holes must be evenly distributed. This is to tip the bottom of the pot upside down on the ground, use a pointed bamboo skewer to turn around on the bottom of the pot, and a piece of pot mud will come out.

One or two or three, the shape can be based on the briquettes. After digging out the fire holes, turn the bottom of the pot over and polish it twice. Then use mud to make a circle to make the base of the fire tube.

Do it well and then turn it upside down to make a foothold...

The entire earthen pot is polished, ears are planted, patterns are carved, and the entire pot is scraped flat and smooth on the turning circle. The thickness of the fire tube is also very uniform, and the base is installed very tightly. Although some details cannot be seen, it is always

Generally speaking, it is still very good. You can refer to Tengchong earthen pot for its appearance.

After all this is done, it gets dark, and the next step is to dry it for a week, bake it, modify the details, and rub it with shellac, both inside and outside, including the edges of the pot, and then dry it again. This is the real thing.

The earthen pot craftsmanship is complete.

The so-called lac is the purple natural resin secreted by the lac bug after sucking the sap of the host tree.

Also known as shellac, red gum, comfrey, etc.

Mainly containing lac resin, lac wax and lac pigment, the colored earthen pot will look more high-end and have better sealing properties.

She has seen lac bugs on trees in the woods. When she has free time, she will scrape some and take them home. She will find it much more convenient to make such earthen pots in the future.

The earthen pots she made are particularly exciting for eating hot pot. The copper hotpots in the old capital were made based on the appearance of earthen pots. There is a chimney in the middle, and charcoal fire can be placed below. The surrounding belly can hold ingredients for stewing.

For this reason, she specially made a bigger one. It looks okay, but it will be used in the future, right?

When she gets better at her skills, maybe she can sell them in the market?

After the earthen pot was ready, it was getting dark. She had worked all afternoon, so she consumed more energy. In the evening, she made a soup with leeks and noodles, and added tomatoes. When the tomatoes and leeks blended together,

, that taste is something that both father and son have never experienced before.

Wei Ying forgot to ask her at noon, and now he remembered to ask her: "How do you make that red soup?"

"Oh, that's a kind of wild fruit I collected in the mountains. After being mashed, it becomes a very good ingredient. It's very precious. It's out of season now, but I saved a small jar of sauce for next year.

It's season, I'll take you to find it, isn't it delicious?"

Wei Ying nodded, "The sour and sweet taste is very unique. I have never tasted this kind of taste in my entire life."

This year I'll put it off until he remembers it next year. If he can't remember it, she'll fool him. If that doesn't work, she'll just dig it out and bury it outside for him to find. Hahaha, she's so smart.

Anyway, people come up with all the solutions. Maybe next year he won’t care about them anymore!

She can't stop eating it. She really loves meals made from tomatoes.

Sure enough, as soon as the sugar cane was harvested in the evening, she successfully advanced to level seventeen. Level seventeen included beet, grapefruit and mushrooms.

Sugar can also be made from sugar beets. The juice of sugar cane is difficult to extract. She chopped the sugar cane and ground it with a millstone. It was very troublesome. The hardness of sugar beet is not as high as that of sugar cane, so it might be easier to do it.

When she was in the beast world, she made a simple compressor out of bamboo, but the effect was very mediocre. Sometimes it was not as good as using the power of the beastmen to squeeze it out. However, she had no other auxiliary functions in this life.

, so she still needs to squeeze out the juice slowly.

I wonder what the taste will be like if you combine the juice of beet and sugar cane? You can try it later.

After getting up from sleep, it was still dark outside, so she took a small mat and sat in the space. She began to pick grapes, pulling off the stems and bad fruits, leaving only the intact ones and putting them in the wooden basin.

She was reluctant to throw away those bad fruits, because the sweet smell could attract flies to hatch their eggs, so at dawn she dumped them into the pig pen in the backyard, and wormed them together with the wet garbage, and there were enough bugs.

, her chickens can produce many eggs.

Pour the selected grapes into a large basin, add flour and wash them. Do not add too much at one time, but add them little by little, otherwise they will not turn.

Flour can absorb some dirt on the surface, but it cannot take away the white frost on it that can promote fermentation. In short, it is a very useful cleaning product.

After washing the two large pots of grapes, put them into a bamboo basket to control the water. Control the flour and water for a while, and the flour will become clear. Pour away the water on the surface and keep the sediment below. Add vegetables, wheat bran and rice bran and stir.

It is very good chicken feed.

There was also a surprise waiting for her today, because she actually got two eggs. Look at the quail nest. After the two female quails nestled in the nest, they had no intention of laying eggs. She was not in a hurry, as long as they could hatch the eggs.

It’s also a credit.

She stored the two eggs harvested today in the space. She was not willing to eat them herself, let alone give them to the Wei family and his son.

Breakfast consisted of stir-fried pepper rings with garlic and garlic covered in flour, tofu mixed with spring onions, thick pumpkin rice porridge, and a dozen thick dough pancakes.

When Wei Ying came down, she had already eaten and was turning over the water-controlling grapes. She didn't notice that he actually had two rabbits in his hand.

The gray rabbits were big and fat. They were a male and a female. She was very happy when she saw them.

"I heard that rabbits are very capable of reproducing. Let's raise them!"

Wei Ying didn't seem surprised that she would say this, "I knew you would make this plan a long time ago, where would you put it?"

The gray rabbit was very cute and fluffy. She pointed to the pig pen in the backyard. She had maggots in the right corner of the pig pen. The smoke made her eyes hurt, but it did not affect raising rabbits. There was a lot of grass in the mountains.

Even in the winter, there is no shortage of sweet potato vines in her space, so raising rabbits can make the family more fertile, which is more conducive to the growth of vegetable seedlings in the ground.

Her entire house, except for the stinky backyard, the front yard has no odor at all, because she often cleans the chicken manure and quail manure in the front yard, and then piles them into the pit in the backyard for septic treatment.

There was also a lot of wet garbage thrown into the manure tank. After the vegetable seedlings sprouted in the field, a trench would need to be dug and fertilized.

Wei Ying washed his hands and brought breakfast up with Bai He's help. The stars started falling even before he went down the mountain.

"It's going to rain. Go home quickly and put away everything you need to put away."

As long as there are dark clouds in the mountainous areas, there will be a heavy rain, especially during the summer rainy season. So when she went home and put away the pots, grapes, and daily necessities outside, a heavy rain came, and the surrounding area was covered with rain curtains.

The force of the heavy rain created layers of water nests.

"It's raining really hard. It's really disturbing to watch."

Since natural disasters, people will feel uneasy when they see such weather.

Fortunately there was no wind. If there was rain and wind, it would be a disaster for the hut.

The fence of her house is high enough and the house is low enough, which virtually blocks the wind. This is a good thing, but the bad thing is that the overall ventilation effect is not very good.

When a heavy rain comes, I will worry about leaks. I walked through each room and found that two places actually started dripping. I quickly found a basin to catch it. I thought that when the weather cleared up, I would have to repair it. This is how the adobe house is, and it is constantly repaired and repaired.

Only by supplementing can it be stronger.

After putting all the quilts into the space, she moved a stool and sat on the porch and started to choose vegetables. The wild vegetables were dug up and put into the space directly without cleaning them.

At noon, she planned to use these wild vegetables to make a pot of vegetable nest, dip it in garlic sauce and eat it, and then make a vegetable and tofu soup.

The country people's three meals a day are very simple. They basically make whatever they have. In an era when there is no harm from disasters, having enough food and clothing is the happiest thing.

Even though many people have never been out of the mountains in their lives and live an ordinary and simple life, this kind of life is what many people are yearning for.

The earthy smell brought by heavy rain is the most intoxicating. Bai He especially likes to smell this smell, but the originally peaceful life was broken because of the appearance of villagers wearing bamboo hats.

"Doctor Bai, Doctor Bai, come with me and have a look. My son was in a hurry to go home and fell into the river. He was not even breathing when he was fished out."

When Bai He heard this, was it okay? He hurried back to the house, which was actually a space, took an umbrella, and ran down the mountain with others. It was raining so heavily, and the ground was slippery, and the clothes he wore were not thick.

She was not worried about the negative impact of the rain getting her clothes wet. She might not have even taken an umbrella, but she slipped and fell several times on the road. There was nothing she could do, the rain was too heavy, and there was mud flowing all the way down the mountain.

In this case, it would be strange not to slip.

When I ran to Xiaojing's house, there were people standing in the courtyard, and there were women and old people crying. The child was being carried upside down by a middle-aged man and was running and jumping.

"Put him down quickly." She knew that the possibility of rescuing him was unlikely because the delay was too long, but she still wanted to give it a try.

After the child was laid flat on the ground, she still performed emergency cardiac resuscitation and artificial respiration. This action was extremely physically demanding.

As she was doing this, she asked them: "How long has it been since the child was salvaged?"

It would take ten or twenty minutes just to go up the mountain. Waiting for her to come back again would take half an hour at the fastest, half an hour. Whether the child can be rescued depends on God's will.
