Beginning Backpack [Farming]

When the weather cleared up, the tribe resumed the rhythm of construction.

Shen Huaijin brought out the two tanks of fish sauce.After several months of fermentation, the fresh and salty liquid has flowed out.This time he was able to filter with a clean sackcloth, and the separated fermentation liquid was clearer.

The filtered fermented liquid is collected together, and an appropriate amount of sugar, garlic, pepper and lemon are added to it for seasoning, and a delicious fish sauce is made.

Shen Huaijin poured the fish sauce into the bottles one by one, washed the two tanks clean, drained them and put them away for other uses.

He plans to try to brew some soy sauce with the remaining two baskets of soybeans to satisfy his craving for soy sauce, an indispensable traditional seasoning.

Shen Huaijin took out the soybeans soaked a day in advance, drained the water and steamed them in a pan.

When the weather is good, spread the ripe soybeans on the bamboo fence and let them ferment indoors.The cooling effect of the rainy period in the past two days has not completely disappeared, but the temperature should be around [-] degrees Celsius, let’s ferment for two days and see.

These tasks seemed simple, but the amount of soybeans was relatively large, and it was already noon after Shen Huaijin finished her work.

In the scorching sun, he sat under a tree to enjoy the shade, carefully looked at the space around his house, gnawed a peach with one hand, and modified the drawings with the other.

The courtyard on paper has already taken shape, but the size needs to be confirmed again and again before the actual construction starts, so as to avoid oolong incidents.

Judging from his current stock of bricks and tiles and the time left before the cold season, it is impractical to build a courtyard, but it is not difficult to build the east wing as the master bedroom first.

But before officially building the house, Shen Huaijin had to plant a new batch of soybeans and potatoes.

After practice, there is every chance that the potatoes here can be ripened twice a year, and the growth cycle of edamame is relatively short, and it can just regenerate once after the rainy season.

Do some prep work before planting.

He took out a basket of beans stored in the cellar, put them in the sun to dry, and then took out some potatoes stored at home and put them in a warm and sunny place to germinate.

The potatoes in the first half of the year hadn't been harvested yet, just as Shen Huaijin was wondering what to do, An seemed to come over by telepathy.

"Jin!" He walked quickly and waved to Shen Huaijin, with excitement on his face.

Seeing the person coming, Shen Huaijin hurriedly and enthusiastically asked him to sit down, and poured two cups of salt flower tea to let the sweaty An relieve the heat.

Anton drank a whole cup, and let out a "ha" in enjoyment, "Refreshing!"

"An, why is it so hot?" Shen Huaijin asked strangely, and he looked around, "Why is Ling not by your side?"

Ann waved his hand, "Also, if it wasn't for sending Ling to the base to play with his father, how could I be so tired? But it's okay, at least I'm relaxed now, and I don't have to stare at this little boy all the time. Puppy."

Thinking of the many naughty things Ling had done, An Po gritted his teeth.

There are still certain dangers outside the valley, but there is a set of rules for raising cubs here, Shen Huaijin will not ask too much.Besides, since An had a cub, he had much less time for himself, and "reducing the burden" for him in this way would kill two birds with one stone.

An Lian drank two large glasses of water, and finally cooled down, and then he remembered the business, "By the way, Jin, didn't you say that you would plant potatoes again after the rainy season? Why haven't you dug up this batch of potatoes? ?”

Hearing this, Shen Huaijin immediately turned into a mournful face, "I'm worried about this, when will I have to dig such a large piece of land."

An put his shoulders on his shoulders and smiled, "I'm here right now, don't worry, the two of us have experience and can dig quickly."

Shen Huaijin had no choice but to ask him again.

Fortunately, the farm tools available this time were complete and powerful, which saved them a lot of time.

It was a waste of time in front of the huge potato field in one afternoon. They only dug out a third of it, and it was almost dark.It was not easy to dig potatoes at night, so they had to give up temporarily and continue the next day.

In the end, the two stood on the ridge of the field counting the harvested potatoes with their sore waists.

"One, two,..., fourteen." Shen Huaijin murmured, "Including yesterday's seven baskets, this batch harvested a total of 21 baskets of potatoes!"

There is one more basket than last time, which is considered an improvement.

Shen Huaijin put his shoulder to An who was next to him, and said briskly, "Take three baskets!"

Hearing this, An patted Shen Huaijin's forehead, and said bitterly: "Jin, no matter how much you have, you can't waste it like this! I just dug potatoes for you, and I didn't participate in the planting process at all. Do you think I should take three baskets?"

Shen Huaijin was stunned, and stared blankly at An in front of her, until she realized the latter.

An covered his face with his hands, he was used to preaching to mischievous and troublesome spirits, but he couldn't stop the car for a while in front of Shen Huaijin.

Shen Huaijin also quickly returned to normal. He knew that An's words were for his sake, so he just teased: "Ann, you are indeed old enough to be my Apa."

"I have to give these three baskets of potatoes. Firstly, Li and I can't eat so much food, and it's a waste to put them around; secondly, I'm also greedy for purple berries and green grass. It all depends on you to help me gather more. Some."

His words are well-founded, and it is impossible to refute them.Ann scratched her head, and finally moved the three baskets of potatoes home.

Shen Huaijin moved the collected potatoes one by one into a cool and dark cellar for storage.

As long as you open the cellar to ventilate every once in a while, you can ensure that they will not germinate for several months. When you are free, take another batch to make potato starch and potato vermicelli.

While thinking about it, he smashed the soybeans on the indoor bamboo fence to let them continue to ferment to perfection.

As time passed day by day, the two lands were finally cleared up. Shen Huaijin took the lead in preparing the land, and added another layer of base fertilizer to promote the germination rate at that time.He also intends to swap the two crops in case the natural fertility of the land becomes insufficient.

The soybeans have already been dried in the sun. In order to ensure that they can be harvested in the off-season, Shen Huaijin planted the beans first.

During this period, the potatoes receiving the light are slowly sprouting, but so far there are only one or two sprouts on a potato. Shen Huaijin is not in a hurry for the time being, and plans to cut and plant when there are more sprouts.

While waiting, Shen Huaijin first processed the fermented soybeans.

He boiled water and kosher salt in proportion to dissolve the salt completely.After the brine is cooled, pour it into the container, then pour the fermented cooked soybeans, and stir evenly.

The principle and process of making soy sauce and making fish sauce are similar. Then keep stirring once a day for the first month, and then every three days after that. Fermentation will be complete after about four months.

Shen Huaijin put the two tanks of evolving "soy sauce" to the place where the fish sauce was placed before, and then went back to see how the potatoes sprouted.

Thankfully, under the perseverance of the sunshine, the sprouting rate of the potatoes is very high, with an average of three to four sprouts coming out from each potato.

According to the distribution of the buds, he cut the potatoes into different small pieces, and then planted them in the soil, waiting for them to thrive.

After planting all the potato seedlings, Shen Huaijin realized that he had been busy in the evening before he knew it. Fortunately, the trivial things before building the house had been completed in half, and he could concentrate on building his own bungalow the next day.

He hummed and prepared dinner in a cheerful mood.

He can barely be regarded as a person with a sense of ritual. Since he has made up his mind to officially start building the house the next day, he has to eat something good tonight.After much deliberation, Shen Huaijin decided to make a hot pot meal that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

An quickly delivered half a basket of green grass and purple berries as promised, and helped Shen Huaijin move to the front of the house. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Jin, I only have these for the time being, and I will collect more in two days." Bring it back to you."

Shen Huaijin was peeling potatoes. Hearing this, she turned her head and glanced at the food delivered. The green leafy grass was green and tender, and the purple berries were plump and moist, and they looked fresh.

"It's okay, I have a small appetite, and Li is a meat eater, so eating the distribution of the tribe is enough. By the way, An, Rin and Ling are not here today, so you can have dinner with us, I am cooking what you like What about hot pot?"

"Okay." An happily sat down, picked up a potato and was about to peel it, "Then I'll help you."

The two of them peeled a dozen or three potatoes together, sliced ​​them thinly and put them aside.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Huaijin took out the bean sprouts that had grown in the house, cleaned them, cut off the slender brown roots, and put them on a plate.On the top of the white and tender stems of the bean sprouts are light yellow bean grains, fresh and dripping.

Standing on the side, An curiously picked up one with her fingers, put it in front of her eyes and observed it carefully, and murmured, "Jin, is this the food you just discovered? I don't think I've seen it before."

"Isn't this the sprout from the bean?"

"Bean?" Ann's voice brightened a little. He touched the bean on the top and suddenly realized, "You planted this?!"

Shen Huaijin pondered for a moment, and explained: "It's not planted in the ground as you thought, these bean sprouts grow from wet cloth, and they are specially eaten at this stage."

The bean sprouts he gave out looked good and slim, the stems were white and tender, and they were crispy when chewed. They were very popular with the two of them, so Shen Huaijin made several pots one after another, and now it was the fourth batch.

"The Western Continent is amazing." An lamented softly as he washed the bean sprouts in his hands and put them back on the plate.

Shen Huaijin paused for picking vegetables, and after a long time, he let out a snort. He washed his hands, fetched the bean curd that had been dried two days ago, and introduced: "This is also a bean product, and you can eat it by rinsing."

The dried bean skin was translucent khaki, and it turned into a large piece of dry, hard and crispy. You can only smell the bean fragrance when you get close. Shen Huaijin took half of it and chopped it into strips.

There are also vermicelli, tofu, washed green leaves and various meats on the side.The hot pot soup is bubbling and bubbling, and when the lid is opened, fresh fragrance comes out along with the steam.

After returning from their busy schedule, Li and the two sat around the steaming hot pot, enjoying the rare leisure of the day.

The much-loved bean sprouts are worthy of the first chopsticks.Shen Huaijin picked up a handful and put it in the milky white soup pot to scald it back and forth. The light yellow beans were looming, and the straight stems softened.It tastes crisp and refreshing, with fresh soup and bean aroma, which makes people mouth watering.

The bean curd returns to its softness after being boiled for a few times in the pot, and the thin slice is very tough to chew. After being dipped in the hot and sour dipping sauce, it tastes refreshing and relieves pressure.

The meat slices rolled up and down in the milky white soup, and quickly lost their color; the tofu was as steady as a mountain in the pot, secretly absorbing the delicious soup, and the whole thing was watery.

Tell the three of them to eat heartily.

The author has something to say: The stupid author mistakenly opened all the pre-receipts as direct publication ah woo woo woo QAQ

The urgent measure is that except for the book on the end of the world, other pre-received books will be republished, and the previous ones will be gradually replaced with short stories. The number of words is about 1+ or ​​3+, and one book has already been written.When you are bored, you can go to the column for a stroll, and leave as soon as you feel good *v*
