Chapter 1032 The first group of ancestors to be eliminated (for subscription)
"Like what I cooked today, it's one of them."

"There are many main teas in Fucha, such as Pu'er and Longjing. These are all teas suitable for drinking in summer, and they have a light taste, which does not conflict with the taste of medicinal materials."

"However, everyone should pay attention, the medicinal materials of Fucha should be put into the pot cold, and the tea leaves of Fucha should be put into the pot hot. They must be separated, so that the taste will be better."

In fact, Fucha has been a custom in rural areas in many places since the early days.

People in the village will put some tea in the pavilion at the entrance of the village and give it to passers-by for free. However, because there are few old roadside pavilions now, there is less and less tea in summer.

Fu Cha, like Fu Jiang, is one of the customs of the Great Heat.

Not only that, like many places will eat fairy grass and drink summer sheep on this day.

It is easier to understand drinking Shuyang, which is the lamb liver soup mentioned before. If you come to a bowl in summer, you will sweat profusely, and you will not feel hot for several days.

As for eating celestial grass, in fact, the "celestial grass" mentioned here is jelly grass, also called celestial grass, which is a kind of herb that is used for both medicine and food in mountains and forests.

But as for why this kind of grass is eaten, the main reason is its magical cooling effect, so it is called fairy grass.

But now, the evolved grass jelly also has a nice name, that is, burning grass jelly, and burning grass jelly has evolved from the previous tea making to be called jelly and dessert, and is welcomed by more people.

In addition, there are actually some different customs and cultures in many regions, such as eating pineapples, eating half-year meals, and so on.

Like half-year rice, there are also [-] people who are particular about it. The half-year rice is eaten by grinding glutinous rice into powder, kneading it with red noodles, and then cooking it into sweets to taste, which symbolizes reunion and sweetness.

The flame burned, and after about ten minutes, there was a sound of boiling in the teapot.

At this time, Li Yuan was the last to add the Pu'er, and as soon as the Pu'er was put into the teapot, the refreshing fragrance of tea and medicine came from within a short while.

Li Yuan felt very relaxed when he smelled that smell.

"It smells so good..."

The tea was left to simmer, but Li Yuan still couldn't relax, and then began to prepare another delicacy for himself... iced watermelon.

Of course, this iced watermelon is not put in the refrigerator, but in the well.

Li Yuan took out a big watermelon from the kitchen, and then walked to the well in the yard.

Studio.

"Why not just use the refrigerator?"

"Anchor, are you sure? Ice the watermelon with water? This... can it work?"

"Where is the well water cold in the refrigerator?"

"Can you still use well water to freeze it? This is the first time I've heard of such an operation."

"Believe it or not, watermelon is best eaten chilled with well water!"

"That's right, when I was a child, everyone who had a well at home did this. The iced watermelon won't soften, it's sweet and cold, and it tastes completely different from the ice tooth in the refrigerator!"

Li Yuan nodded.

"You don't have to doubt that the well water iced watermelon is indeed feasible."

"And not only iced watermelon, but also iced beer and iced drinks, and the cooling speed is no less than that of the refrigerator, and even faster."

"In the past, when there were no refrigerators in the countryside, this was always the way to freeze watermelon in summer. It was convenient, fast, and cost-effective. Most importantly, the iced watermelon tasted the best."

If the outdoor is a refrigerator in winter, then the well is a refrigerator in summer.

Although you can't put anything like ice cream, but if you want to drink some iced cola or iced fruit, there is no better place than a well.

The well of the old house is the only original thing left by Li Yuan. In order to maintain the original appearance of the well, when Li Yuan repaired it, he simply surrounded the outside with blue bricks to prevent the appearance of the well. Danger.

The way of fetching water is also a well-shaking method with a sense of age.

Although the water pump was connected, Li Yuan still kept it.

Hold the handle above the well and shake it from bottom to top. The old iron shaking machine immediately heard a creaking sound, and with the sound, the iron bucket used to fetch water from the well came out of it. .

Because the iron bucket is usually halfway up the well, there was no water when it was scooped up, so it was quite easy.

Throwing the watermelon into the iron bucket, Li Yuan turned the handle in the opposite direction, and the iron bucket and the watermelon sank slowly into the well until he heard a splash of water, which meant that the iron bucket had entered the well.

Li Yuan fixed the leather rope tied to the iron bucket, and then clapped his hands.

"It's done."

"I haven't seen this kind of old-fashioned well for some years."

"I said back then that the anchor had to keep the well for everything, and it took a long time to use it as a refrigerator!"

"It seems that the anchor's choice at the beginning was very wise."

"When I saw this well, I was terrified. When I was a child, I was almost hit by this hand-cranked machine! I never touched it again."

"Nearly? I have been beaten so many times!"

"I was always interested in this thing when I was a child. Every time I fetched water, I had to rush over it. As a result, the joystick was too heavy, and I couldn't move it at all..."

Seeing the teacher's well in Li Yuan's house seemed to bring many people's memories back to their childhood.

Indeed, it seems that this kind of water well only existed when I was a child, because there are many safety hazards in this kind of water well. Later, homes with conditions are generally changed to electric pumps.

However, Li Yuan is a special case. On the contrary, Li Yuan really likes this kind of old-fashioned things, otherwise he would not have built such an extremely old-fashioned courtyard in the first place.

Li Yuan: "That's true. I was injured a lot when I was a child, and I even had sequelae later. I haven't touched this old-fashioned well for many years."

"However... To say that it is old, in fact, this kind of well is considered advanced. There is another kind of older well. I don't know if you have seen it. It is a push-type well."

Pressed water wells are actually considered to be the level of ancestors in water wells.

However, in terms of the way it is used, Li Yuan has always felt that the pressurized well is more advanced than this hand-operated one, but the drawbacks of that pressurized well are also seriously higher than this hand-operated one.

It's just that the pressurized wells were the first to be eliminated, and the most important reason was because of its special way of use.

In fact, drilling wells was far less convenient in the old days, and drilling wells was regarded as a technical job, and there were not many people who would read them at that time. Even if there were, it was difficult to touch them in that era of underdeveloped information. trail.

Therefore, the well diggers at that time usually walked the streets and alleys to ask every household if they needed anything, and these people usually came directly with a machine and a long rubber hose.

The wells at that time were not as deep as they are now, usually more than three feet, that is, about ten meters.
