Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

She has not experimented with this method and has only used it in a similar way when preserving ginger and garlic.

The original owner of this house had a small cellar. They didn't use it to store anything now, so they filled it with some soil and put garlic and ginger in it. It didn't matter how thick the soil was to cover it. , just put it on top.

Cover the lid to prevent light transmission. The ginger and garlic inside can be stored for a long time, much longer than in the refrigerator. Ginger will wilt after a short time when stored in the refrigerator. Even those in small cellars will wilt, but The storage time can be several times longer.

The wilted ginger will be dried into dried ginger by the two people, and put into bags to make medicinal materials. Not only are the dried ginger medicinal and ginger medicinal effects somewhat different, the same dried ginger is divided into sun-dried and roasted. There are also differences in dryness. Zhao Yeqing can't remember it. Mu Xi usually makes the distinction.

She only uses it to make ginger soup, but all three types of ginger can be used.

Two bottles of the pickled ginger leaves had been eaten long ago, and only the last bottle was left in the refrigerator. The two empty glass jars were re-sterilized and could be used to store lotus root starch later.

The two of them plan to use 150 kilograms of lotus root starch, and they estimate that they can make ten kilograms, which is too much to eat, but it is better than wasting lotus root. After all, this lotus root starch is also easier to store. If it doesn't work, lotus root starch can also be used. For dessert.

Zhao Yeqing put the excavated mud in the backyard and poured it into the small reservoir originally made of bricks. After the mud sank, he threw the lotus roots in and buried them.

It should be feasible to store it in silt. Originally, she had thought about why it was necessary to dig up the soil and pour it into the pond. It would have to be cleaned up later. Wouldn't it be more convenient to bury it directly back in the lotus pond?

But then I thought about it, the pool was not clean. If I didn't use a clean pool to keep it, I'm afraid the fractured area would be directly infected and rotten.

This lotus root must be eaten, and the lotus root strips cannot be kept. This thing must be eaten within these days, otherwise it will go bad immediately. Because it is more fresh and tender, it does not have much fiber and high water content, causing it to Much less tolerant than lotus root.

During dinner in the evening, the crisp sound of chewing came from the kitchen, which was the sound of lotus root strips being bitten into pieces in the mouth.

However, it was not bitten by two people, but by four dogs at home. In addition to a few lotus root strips, there was also a piece of lotus root in the bowl. There is no problem for the dogs to eat a small amount of this stuff, and their teeth are good, and the sound of eating it is clear and crisp. , both of them felt like eating while listening to the dogs eating and broadcasting.

Mu Xi went out early in the morning with a plastic sheet to pick osmanthus flowers. When he woke up this morning, there was no water mist. The picked osmanthus flowers did not contain too much water vapor. They were not easy to rot and were easier to dry. It was a good time for picking.

Mu Xi was very careful when he went there, bringing a gun and an all-inclusive motorcycle helmet that he had found in the tourist area.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree is very close to the previous peach blossoms. You don’t need to guess to know that the group of monkeys will not let go of the peaches on the tree. The last batch of peaches should have just matured during this period, and they might bump into them if they go there.

The last time he was hit, he was still frightened. This time, he was fully armed with such a thick helmet. He couldn't believe that it could still hurt from being hit.

Zhao Yeqing was also a little worried and asked if he wanted to go with him. Mu Xi thought about it and refused, "It's not very safe, and it's best not to leave the house empty recently. Someone has to look after the house."

The beef sausages in the drying room are still being smoked, and it will probably take another four or five days before they can be taken out and placed outside in a shaded place to dry.

It would be better if the smoke could be smoked for a longer time, but it would be too wasteful of fuel. In addition to charcoal, there is also a metal gasoline barrel with half a barrel of firewood in it. This is mainly relied on to burn enough smoke for smoke. Bacon sausage.

This kind of open flame will deflagrate when it encounters the grease dripping from the bacon, which can easily cause a fire. The surrounding walls are covered with paste, but the top is still made of wood.

Originally, the two planned to use the material of the detachable board house they saw on the meadow to make the drying room, but they were worried that the paint on the inner wall would produce toxic substances due to long-term high-temperature baking. Can give up.

After Mu Xi went out, Zhao Yeqing walked to the backyard mushroom room. The mushrooms inside were still growing as lushly as before.

However, the mushrooms this time were not the oyster mushrooms from before. The oyster mushrooms only accounted for a small part, and Zhao Yeqing put the wild mushroom rhizomes found in spring on the rest of the medium.

The original plan was to use the dead horse as a living horse doctor. I picked the mushrooms and cut off the roots, buried them in the previous medium, sprinkled them with water and waited without hope.

Zhao Yeqing went there several times but didn't see any mushrooms popping up. Later, he was too lazy to care and forgot about it. It was more than a week later that he remembered to sprinkle water on the oyster mushrooms that were still growing inside. As soon as he entered, he saw that they were originally bare. The wood chaff straw medium is filled with tiny mushrooms.

It’s not just one kind of fungus, there are many varieties picked in spring, but she didn’t distinguish between them. She just buried them all in them, thinking that it would be fine if they couldn’t grow, but she didn’t expect these wild fungi to be so lively.

It's not that big, and the taste isn't that fragrant, but it's enough to satisfy your cravings.

Occasionally, if miscellaneous bacteria appear, she will remove them. Not only in the mushroom room, but also in the vegetable field, various wild bacteria will appear from time to time. It is not as serious as the year before, but it still needs to be removed, especially if it grows too long. In the yard, the silly chickens scrambled to eat when they saw it.

Whoever grabs it in the end wins.

I walked around the vegetable field and picked a small basket of small tomatoes. I washed them and threw them into my mouth. They were sour and sweet. The acidity was relatively high. It may be because the fertilizer was not poured correctly. In addition to farmyard fertilizer, I also had to apply it. Just use fermented organic fertilizer.

The food waste fermentation barrel has never been idle. The fertilizer produced is specially used for vegetable fields. It is sufficient for self-production and sales.

On a hot summer day, a glass of ice-cold mint water, a portion of sweet and sour cherry tomatoes, a slowly swaying cattail leaf fan and a creaking rocking chair all bring a drowsy warmth when the breeze blows over.

Zhao Yeqing squinted in the rocking chair for a while and set the alarm clock for half an hour. When he woke up, there was a thin layer of sweat on his body, especially on his neck and chest, and the strands of hair around his ears were soaked and stuck to his cheeks.

After she wetted the towel with cool well water, she wiped her body clean and stretched out, with a slight blush on her face.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yeqing planned to take advantage of his free time to process the lotus roots and make lotus root powder for storage. This thing is not difficult to make and is much simpler than kudzu powder. It only needs to be simply crushed, filtered and dried in the sun. .

There are also special tools for crushing, and the juicer the two of them got can handle it.
