At this time, the benefits of having space are fully reflected.
Wherever your eyes are locked, you can take in everything, which is a thousand times more efficient than ordinary people.
When Song Liyun came out, he not only collected acorns, but also harvested whatever was available, including dead trees and rotten grass. The place he passed was like a tornado blowing through, and the ground was instantly bare, making Xiao An and Hei Jin stunned.
There were several times when Heijin would have been almost sucked into the space if he hadn't jumped quickly.
Fortunately, the space only contains things that cannot struggle and move, so Black Gold was spared.
The hilltop where Song Liyun was located was wiped out in a long time.
After her space was filled with messy branches and hazelnuts, she finally stopped to rest.
Because he had to go up the mountain, Song Liyun prepared steamed buns in advance and cooked acorns in a pot.
Acorns are known as "millet on trees" and can be eaten, but they contain tannins, which make them bitter and unpalatable. Unless food is extremely scarce, generally no one would be willing to taste them.
But acorns are also good things, rich in nutrients and good for the stomach, but they must be carefully processed to be eaten.
When acorns are boiled, the tannins contained in them are destroyed and the bitterness is greatly reduced.
But just boiling it once is not enough. You need to boil the water with the acorns and then pour it out. Then add water and boil it again. Repeat several times until the filtered water no longer turns brown and the bitter taste inside is gone.
remove.
There was a time in the apocalypse when mutated acorns that grew to the size of a fist were mankind's life-saving food.
Everyone knows how to deal with the tannins in acorns, and a series of acorn products have been developed, such as acorn noodles, acorn cookies, etc.
Xiao An used to eat raw and roasted acorns with Song Zhenping in the mountains. Now he eats boiled acorns, and he only feels sweet and fragrant.
With such delicious food, Black Gold also lost its raw acorns and ran over to compete with Song Liyun and the others to eat them.
It has not eaten the cooked food it likes for five years, and it tastes even more ferocious than Xiao An. Often the water is just boiling, and it will eagerly stretch out its claws to fish it out.
He still grinned to protect his food, but Song Liyun pinned him to the ground and beat him up.
You can't eat all the acorns on the mountain. Black gold is just a habit. You can only obey the rules after being beaten.
Because it was the first time to go up the mountain, Song Liyun did not stay too long.
After lunch, Xiao An was put on his back again, and the two of them and the monkey returned along the same route from the river beach.
Back at Baolinju, Song Liyun had something to do.
First, the acorns in the space were dumped into the cellar, the firewood was piled in the backyard, and then a large pot was cooked.
He also brought a stone vat from the yard, poured half of it into the vat, and soaked the other acorns in the larger vat.
Boiling acorns requires frequent water changes, and soaking acorns also requires changing the water every day until the water is clear and has no other color.
This process usually lasts for half a month, and the tannins in it are gone, and the grinding powder will no longer have a bitter taste.
In comparison, although cooking acorns takes a short time, it consumes a lot of firewood, which most people cannot afford. So soaking acorns is the most economical and economical, but you can't rush it.
The acorns are boiled, ground in a stone and slurried, then allowed to cool.
When Song Zhenping came back in the evening, he could already eat acorn jelly.
The acorn jelly mixed with oil, salt, chives, ginger and garlic has no astringency at all, but an indescribable refreshing taste.
The slight trace of bitterness left in it actually adds to the rich taste of sweet, sour and spicy aroma.
Song Zhenping sighed while eating: "I have only eaten acorn flour steamed buns before, why didn't I think of making it into frozen skin like this?"
When he was in Xiaoshi Village, every spring when there was a shortage of food, he and Xiao An would eat acorn flour steamed buns for a long time, which tasted bitter and astringent and difficult to swallow.
Song Liyun smiled and said: "Today I only picked it up at the edge of the forest. I will pick up more tomorrow and grind it into acorn flour that can be eaten every day."
She didn't say that the deliciousness of this acorn jelly is not only that it has no bitter taste, but also contains oil and salt.
Even though Song Zhenping could remove the bitterness before, she couldn't use these seasonings.
Xiao An ate with his head in his hands while holding the bowl.
Acorn jelly is a whole grain, rich in nutrients, and good for the stomach. Song Liyun doesn't hold back.
This frenzy of eating made him sweat on his forehead, bulging in his belly, and a blush appeared on his sallow little face.
The three of them ate acorn jelly to keep them full. Finally, Song Zhenping said: "In a few days, I will go up the mountain with you."
He no longer objected to picking up acorns.
But Song Zhenping was working, and his talk of going up the mountain was empty talk.
Only Song Liyun took Heijin Xiaoan to the mountains several more times.
She had almost picked up all the acorns on several hills, and there were tall piles of firewood piled up in the backyard of Baolin House.
Song Zhenping goes out early and returns home late every day to work, and can only watch the changes at home.
Knowing that I can carry so many things back, I must have used a "treasure bag" that can be stored and stored.
Before dinner, Song Liyun replaced the tank where the acorns were soaked with fresh water.
It has been soaking for five days and the water is still turbid and black and yellow in color.
This is not okay!
Thinking about the tons of acorns already piled in the cellar, Song Liyun felt a little headache.
Just soaking day by day, no matter how long you want to soak, you still need a big pool.
There is also grinding powder.
It is impossible for my three siblings to eat jelly every day, even if they make porridge and cakes.
Song Liyun was thinking about how to deal with the acorns, and she was still grinding the acorns on her hands.
Just after filtering the ground acorn pulp and pouring it into the pot, Song Liyun was preparing to light a fire to boil the pulp, when he saw Xiao An running into the stove with laughter and hiccups, followed by Hei Jin, who showed his teeth and claws.
Now Heijin is returning more and more to his nature as a pet, and he is having a great time playing with Xiao An.
Seeing that her sister wanted to make delicious cold cakes again, Xiao An stopped playing and sat down obediently in front of the stove to help light the fire.
Heijin came over and snuggled next to Xiao An, handing him firewood, whimpering into the fire, and showing Xiao An half of its tail, looking pitiful.
Xiao An also muttered words that only one person and one monkey could understand, and the two children got along harmoniously.
After the jelly was prepared and placed in a small basin, Song Liyun began to prepare the condiments.
Remove the onion, ginger, and garlic from the space, and chop the last few coriander stalks into fine pieces.
Cut off the onions and coriander roots, put them in a clay pot, put them in the soil, and put them in the corner of the kitchen.
Song Liyun poured rice water again.
These onions have been stored in space for almost a month, and I hope they can still grow.
Alas, there are less and less things in space.
It's still more than half a year until spring produces crops, so why don't you build a greenhouse to grow some vegetables?
Ji's house occupies about an acre of land, and the backyard takes up more than half of it. After being burned by fire, it was basically abandoned.
If you want to rebuild, you need to knock down the broken wall and dig up the waste soil and move it away. This kind of project is not what Song Liyun is considering now.
However, the ground that was dug up to a pulp and mixed with charcoal ash became fertile land that could be cultivated into a vegetable garden.
This matter needs to be discussed with Song Zhenping. After all, when it comes to farming, I am only theoretical and cannot compare with him in practical operations.
Before the end of work in the afternoon, Song Zhenping came back early with a large bale of hay and brought big news.
