Chapter 0123 Is this honey?
The Binfeng tribe.
Ye Qing is very busy. He is making kudzu powder in the church.
Recently, the tribe has dug a large amount of Pueraria root, not only has it dug up all the Pueraria roots around the tribe, but it has not even been spared around the Youge Tribe.
Ye Qing mobilized a group of tribe members to support bamboo rafts and bronze tools. He didn't have much time to dig up all the Pueraria near Ge's family.
Pueraria root is not processed and is very unpalatable.
Ye Qing thought about processing the Pueraria root into root powder.
Now there are dense and wide cloths, so there is no problem with filtering.
To make kudzu powder, the first thing to do is to crush the kudzu root. Although the tribe now has bronze knives, the efficiency is too slow, so he made several guillotines.
After the guillotine is sliced, it needs to be mashed.
The tool to crush is a foot pedal. This invention is not difficult and has been made long ago.
The tribe originally grinded rice, just pounded it.
Put the rice into the stone mortar, and then hold the wooden pestle and pound it constantly.
Every family has it, and they all have it since many years ago.
In this era, it is also difficult to process a deeper stone mortar.
This stone mortar passed down from the inheritance is treasure.
After years of use, each stone mortar becomes deep and smooth.
Later, when it was necessary to smel copper, I changed the method of pounding my hands into a pedal.
The tribe's copper ore, tin ore, toner, etc. that need to be crushed into powder are processed by pedal mortars.
After pulverizing the pueraria root, filter it.
Rinse the crushed Pueraria powder with water, filter, remove the residue, and leave juice.
Put the juice in a large jar overnight, pour out the clear water the next day, and the bottom of the jar is white Pueraria powder. After drying, it can be stored for a long time.
This is much longer than storing Pueraria root.
And it is very convenient to eat, and the taste and taste are much better.
When something new comes out, the first thing is to demonstrate, Ye Qing personally demonstrates it.
Mix boiling water, boil it over low heat, add a spoon of honey, a bowl of smooth and refreshing, and the clear and transparent Pueraria powder is made.
He tasted it, well, it was no different from the taste when he was a kid.
This taste has not changed after 5,000 years.
Seeing Ye Qing's intoxicated appearance, Alan had already felt so greedy that her saliva was overflowing. She hugged his thighs and looked at him with a gaze.
Ye Qing laughed silently and handed the bowl to Alan.
Alan couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful, sucked it into her mouth, and immediately laughed happily.
Children like this jelly-like snack the most.
The women of the tribe were also extravagant for a while and cooked a lot of kudzu powder. They also took out all the honey that they couldn't bear to eat.
So soon, the children in the tribe smiled and each of them held a bowl of Pueraria powder in their hands.
The women were also smiling, happier than eating themselves.
It's so amazing!
Pueraria root can be eaten like this.
I have been eating for countless years and only today I know how to eat Pueraria root.
Pueraria root, which is not good and you won’t eat when you have enough food, can be so delicious.
Looking at the children's happy smiles, Ye Qing also smiled with relief.
Turning something that is not good and unpalatable into delicious food is the talent of the foodie nation.
After teaching his tribe members to make kudzu powder, Ye Qing started another job.
He wants to squeeze tung oil.
In the tribe, the tribe members have picked up a large number of tung fruits.
Many tribe members are peeling tung fruit.
Most of the outer shells of tung fruits are purple and black. This kind of tung fruit will crack a cross-shaped hole and can be peeled off easily.
Some tung seeds are still yellow and even a little green. Such tung seeds need to be stepped on with their feet before the shell cracks.
Often, this shell also has white juice, which can easily get stuck to people's hands.
Not long after, the juice will turn black, dry and condense on the skin, making your hands dark.
The outer shell is peeled, and the inner shell is also peeled.
The newly peeled tung seeds need to be dried. After drying, they will be smashed open to the inner shell, and the white seeds inside will be solid.
Before pressing the oil, you need to put these tung seeds in a pot and fry them and then crush them.
The tribe does not have the tools for oil pressing.
Ye Qing made two thick solid wooden boards and placed them in a thick shelf. Then he put the fried tung croquette residue wrapped in cloth into the two wooden boards and pressed them.
In order to increase the pressing force, a solid wooden bar was used as the lever.
Although the efficiency is low and the oil yield is not very high, at least it has been produced with tung oil.
With tung oil, the boat he was thinking about could be built.
With the ship, the process of civilization can be greatly accelerated.
It's just that oil pressing is very fertile.
The pressed cloth is soaked with tung oil. When you don’t use it at night, it will dry and harden the next day, and the board will become an oil cloth. There is no way to use it to press oil.
However, the tribe's cloth production is very high now, so this cloth is nothing.
After pressing the tung oil, Ye Qing simply brushed the tung oil carefully again and spread it flat and dry it.
This is the tarpaulin!
Oil cloth is also very useful.
The oil cloth does not leak, and the first thing Ye Qing thought of was to make an umbrella.
The water town is equipped with an umbrella, so that’s how to match it.
When he held the umbrella that could be opened or put away, and after strolling around the tribe, A Zi immediately snatched it over
This thing is not only rain-proof, but also beautiful.
She held an umbrella and walked around complacently.
The nature of a person who likes to show off is all about, regardless of gender or age.
Seeing her arrogantly holding an umbrella, coupled with a lot of feathers and animal bone jewelry on her body, in Ye Qing's eyes, this style sentence was extremely strange.
On A Zi, there was no trace of the little jade from a Jiangnan woman's family, and the meaning was elegant.
Ye Qing was speechless.
He felt a little confused in time and space.
When the three tribes including the Shihu clan in the mountains, as well as some of the members of the Chengfeng clan tribe of the Feng clan, arrived at the Fangfeng clan, they happened to see the Fangfeng clan squeezing tung oil.
Trees like tung trees grow everywhere, and they all know that the tung fruits they bear cannot be eaten.
Suddenly, he was extremely surprised to see that the Fangfeng tribe collected so many tung fruits and piled them up in the tribe.
What are you collecting this kind of inedible tung fruit? So many of them are collected?
Did the members of the Fangfeng clan have nothing to do?
When they saw several presses squeezing out bright and clear, with a little yellow tung oil, they were completely shocked.
What kind of witchcraft is this?
They have never seen tung oil.
Not only have they never seen it, but they have never seen it either.
The tribe members who were next to the oil press were curiously putting their fingers into the tung oil. After dipping a little, they were about to put them in their mouths to taste.
The color of tung oil is so beautiful, just like honey!
Is this honey?
Can this kind of tung fruit squeeze out honey?
The methods of gods and man are always so magical.
He wanted to taste it, is it sweet, and confirm whether it is honey.
Ye Qing quickly stopped him.
Chapter completed!
