Chapter 34 Burning pottery, frying tea

(It’s noon, please give me a recommendation vote, thank you!)

When he woke up the next morning, he didn't even need the little fur ball to help him with electrotherapy. Yun Buliu was already active and active in today's life.

Today's goal is to fry and dry tea, and then make pottery pots and cups. However, we just chopped the firewood yesterday and it will definitely not be used. We still have to go to the forest to find some dry firewood.

After the meat was stewed, he went to the woods behind the cliff and carried a large bundle of dry firewood back. The water in the clay pot had just boiled.

He planned to exercise first and come back for breakfast later.

Let’s start with a sprint of 5,000 meters. The distance of 5,000 meters seems to be very far, but on this green lawn, it is just ten laps running back and forth along the bottom of the mountain wall outside the cave.

At his current sprint speed, he can basically complete the task in four minutes.

Under the mad sprint, his heart beat violently, stimulating his body crazily, but it did not exceed his body's load, it just made him feel a little dizzy, breathing like a bellows, and the uncomfortable feeling crazily stimulated his nerves

, but he still endured it.

Over the past few days, he has used this method to stimulate himself from time to time, and he has become accustomed to it.

After resting for three minutes, waiting for his heartbeat to gradually calm down, he began to do push-ups, squats and jumping on the spot again. He did not stop until he was so tired that he felt dizzy, and then he felt like he was about to vomit.

, doing ligament stretching.

This kind of extreme-breaking exercise can actually easily hurt the body, but Yun Buliu felt that his body had mutated, and at worst he would give Hairball a few more electric shock treatments.

After stretching, call the little fur ball over and ask him to perform electric shock therapy.

After lying on the ground twitching for a few minutes, he got up feeling refreshed.

This is basically what the little fur ball has to go through every morning, so now there is no need for Yun Buliu to hold its tail and wag it.

After breakfast, he moved the sun-dried earthen jars, cups, earthen stoves, etc. to the small pit where the pottery was originally made, spread the prepared hay to the bottom of the pit, and then placed the earthen products on top.

After stuffing the earthen vessel with hay, add a pile of dry firewood outside, then cover the dry firewood with hay, and then apply a layer of mud to seal it.

After the fire burned to a high level, he sealed the ignition port.

After returning to the cave, he put the tea greens into a bamboo basket, filled the largest clay pot with some plant ash, and carried it to the lake to wash away the grease in the pot with the plant ash.

After washing, he carried a pottery pot of clean water back to the cave, poured out the water that had been in the stone mortar for two days, poured the water in the pottery pot into the stone mortar, and then lit a fire to light the stove.

After the water in the pot was boiled dry, he put his hand into the pot, felt the temperature in the pot, and then removed the firewood, leaving the charcoal fire.

After feeling the temperature inside the jar again, he poured part of the tea in the bamboo basket into the clay pot, and stirred it with a piece of bamboo.

Not long after, the sound of crackling came from the clay pot, and at the same time there was a unique fragrance of tea, and a little bit.

This step is also the final step in hand-fried tea. The purpose is to use high temperature to remove the green air in the tea leaves and allow the aroma of the tea leaves to slowly dissipate.

After frying the tea greens until they felt almost cooked, he padded the wall of the clay pot with rabbit skin, poured the fried tea greens in the pot onto the deer skin, and spread them out to cool.

But the deerskin is too small, so it's fine when it's cool and green, so it doesn't matter.

But it’s not enough to cool down the freshly fried tea leaves.

At this time, the heat in the tea green must be dissipated, otherwise the tea green will burn red and the taste will be bad. So he had to stop temporarily, cross the tea green with both hands, raise it high, release it, and let the tea green fall naturally

On the deerskin, this will allow the tea green to evaporate the heat faster.

In this way, when he finished frying all the tea leaves, it was already more than an hour later.

After the cooked tea greens are almost cool, put all the tea greens on a piece of deerskin and rub the tea greens with your hands. This is the second step of frying tea, kneading.

There are two types of kneading: cold kneading and hot kneading. However, the tea leaves of Yunbuliucai are relatively tender, so it is better to use cold kneading, that is, to cool the tea leaves, so that it is not easy to form crumbs.

The process of rolling is to knead the tea juice out of the tea leaves, soak the surface of the tea leaves, increase the flavor of the tea leaves, and make it easier to steep.

At the same time, this also reduces the size of the tea and makes it easier to store.

The third step is drying, which includes drying and natural sun drying.

Drying requires drying tools, so the best way is to sun dry.

Yun Buliu is no stranger to fried tea. There are many tea mountains in his hometown.

Wrap the kneaded tea leaves in deer skin, take them to the cave, and spread the tea leaves on the deer skin to dry.

Because the deerskin area is not large enough, it can only be spread thickly.

In this case, it will probably take a few more days to dry out.

After drying the tea leaves, it was time to prepare lunch again.

After lunch, he took a short rest and went outside the cave to dry the tea leaves.

Then take the wild boar tusk and prepare to cut bamboo and build a bamboo house.

He had never built a bamboo house before and had no clue. He could only imagine building a house with wood, wood and tiles. Of course he had never built a house with wood, wood and tiles, but he had seen it before because there were many houses with wood, wood and tiles in his hometown.

The one we live in is over fifty years old.

The older one has a history of more than 200 years, but their family only occupies one room in that building because it was passed down from the Madam-in-law’s generation and is no longer habitable.

Building a wooden house requires the use of wooden dowels and other items, as well as axes, planers, etc.

For Yun Buliu, these are too complicated and cumbersome.

Moreover, he still lacks tools. How difficult is it to make a bamboo house?

But he is not worried or anxious. If it doesn't work out, he can continue to live in the cave.

He wanted to build a bamboo house just to improve his living environment. At the same time, he wanted to challenge his hands-on ability and give himself a sense of accomplishment.

Otherwise, he could explore the mountains and forests and fight those beasts.

Of course, he will do this kind of thing in the future. Now he has to practice again, lest he encounter some more powerful beasts and be frightened to the point where he dare not move, his muscles will become stiff, and his head will plummet.

He realized this most deeply when he encountered the giant leopard.

He planned to build a stilted building, covering 20% ​​of the floor, with the second floor used as bedrooms, the first floor used as a hall and kitchen, and even a storage room to store sundries.

You can make the hanging legs higher and build a terrace. You can also get two simple bamboo chairs and put them on the terrace for lying on.

Then lie down on the bamboo chair on the terrace, sip tea, smell the fragrance, look at the stars, look at the moon...

Thinking about this leisurely life, he felt comfortable.

And this kind of life needs to be built by himself.

Tea is available, incense is available, bamboo buildings, bamboo chairs, bamboo tables, etc. still require his efforts.

I silently made plans in my mind, then ran to the bamboo and picked out three of the largest bamboos, with a diameter of fifteen or six centimeters and a height of more than twenty meters. I scratched them with wild boar tusks along the bottom.

After scraping the three bamboos, removing the branches, and carrying them back to the grass in front of the cave, Yun Buliu cut off a bamboo stake about one meter and a half long from the bottom of one of the largest bamboos.

He scraped the bottom of the bamboo pole with wild boar tusks to tip it, and then used a wooden stick to pierce all the bamboo joints inside the bamboo pole, turning it into a hollow bamboo tube about one meter and a half long.

Next, he needs to choose a place to build a bamboo house.
