Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Everyone has learned how to build a kiln, and then you have to guide how to build an iron smelting furnace.

Shen Huaijin asked Li and the others to saw a large amount of bamboo first. After splitting it in half, the bamboo green was tied together outwards, and the barrel-shaped bamboo was inserted into the already laid foundation.

With the bamboo barrel solid in the middle, just wrap a layer of treated clay directly on the outside of the bamboo.In order to facilitate calcination, the soil layer should change from thick to thin from bottom to top.

After the clay has hardened a bit, the tuyere and slag outlet should be dug out at the bottom of the shaft furnace, and an outlet for taking iron blocks should be reserved at that time. The reserved outlet should be slightly thinned to facilitate subsequent disassembly and reinstallation.

After the shaft furnace is formed, burn the bamboo inside with fire and dry the furnace body at the same time.

To make the shaft furnace successfully smelt iron, bellows are essential.Shen Huaijin needed it to pump a large amount of air to heat the charcoal in the shaft furnace to a temperature high enough to smelt iron.

He is not completely unfamiliar with bellows.When he was very young, there was one in Grandpa Shen's house, and Shen Huaijin once even played with it.

The bellows has a simple structure and consists of a wooden box, a handle for pushing and pulling and a movable wooden box.

There is an air inlet at each end of the case and an air outlet on the side.When the movable wooden box is pulled out, the air is sucked in from the far end; when the movable wooden box is pushed in, the air is sucked in from the near side.In both processes, air enters the box and exits through an air outlet on the side.

At this time, a delivery pipe is connected to the air outlet, and the air can be sent into the shaft furnace for iron smelting.

Shen Huaijin and everyone explained the structure clearly before operating it.

Although the bellows is simple, there are many details. For example, it is best to wrap a layer of animal skin on the movable wooden box, so as to reduce the probability of air leakage as much as possible under the premise of smooth activities.

In addition, a clay pipe was fired to carry the air smoothly into the shaft furnace.

Everyone has learned from the past, and this time they are very careful in doing things, and finally successfully harvested two wooden boxes and many shaft furnaces that have not yet fully hardened on the same day.

After Shen Huaijin taught them, it was considered a successful retirement, and then the orcs would learn from each other internally. He should also stay in the valley and continue to work on papermaking.

He also specifically reminded the orcs that they could burn a few kilns of charcoal while waiting for drying, and save them for iron smelting in the future, and everyone agreed.

On the first day she was able to stay in the valley, Shen Huaijin was also very busy.

Because Ming's progress was too slow, Li and the others also helped to build the road, Shen Huaijin was alone at home, and An was about to give birth, so he couldn't come to help, so he had to do everything alone.

He first cooked the bamboo fibers that had been steamed but had been left for several days, and then slowly pounded them into mud with a pestle.

The water pestle got rid of the manpower and moved up and down rhythmically.

In the sound of "Boom—boom—", Shen Huaijin couldn't stop for the time being. He fished out the bamboos that had been greened in the new pond, moved them downstream to clean and remove their shells, and then put them on the stove to steam.

Counting the bamboo still being finished in the old pool, the amount of paper he made this time is estimated to be three times the output of last time, which is already enough. Besides, it is inconvenient to keep watching the fire, so Shen Huaijin decided to stop when enough is enough. Poured Hsinchu into the pool and finished.

After such a calculation, he had an idea in his mind.

He currently has a lot of coal in stock, and he doesn't need to look for another fuel for the time being, and the fire is burning, so he doesn't need to keep an eye on it all the time, so Shen Huaijin made a traction rope and pulled the bleating out of the animal pen.

The beast cub is in the age group where he can see the wind and grow up. A few days ago, the fluff that was still a small lump has now grown to the man's thigh.

Seeing Shen Huaijin lead herself out of the animal pen, Baa Baa was a little timid at first, and subconsciously wanted to hide in the direction of the animal pen, but felt the touch of the grass under its hooves while walking, and it quickly became excited, grinning at Shen Huaijin and sticking out its tongue , Tata ears shaking happily.

Shen Huaijin grabbed the fluffy curly hair on its head, then patted it lightly, signaling to baa-baa to move forward.

He has always wanted to try to raise the hairy animals, but due to the current situation and his own lack of experience, he has not had time to realize it in the future, and now he can only enjoy walking for fun.

I don't know whether it's the effect of the leash or because Baa Baa was raised by Shen Huaijin since he was a child. He looks very docile and has no desire to escape.

Shen Huaijin also let it go, and only dissuaded the latter when he tried to step on the crop field, Baa Baa obediently listened to the persuasion and walked away.If it weren't for the inherent impression of the hairy beast, Shen Huaijin even felt that bleating could be communicated.

Throughout the afternoon, he took the grass root and led the cub, stopping and walking, taking this opportunity to let himself go.Time was polished more and more leisurely, and he walked slowly to the setting sun before he was willing to send Baa Baa back to the animal pen.

It was getting late, and it was time to cook again.

For some reason, the egg production of several wild birds has declined recently. Shen Huaijin didn't want to waste feed, so she thought about changing a batch, and the ones with the least egg production in this batch were gradually slaughtered and eaten.

It happened that there was a continuous light rain some time ago, and everyone collected a lot of mushrooms to exchange with Shen Huaijin. Now he still has a lot of dried mushrooms on hand, which can be used to make a mushroom stewed wild bird.

As for the rest, it is also good to make wild bird meat with scallion oil.

He didn't have fresh mushrooms at hand, so he could only soak the dried mushrooms first, and then make the cold dish of wild bird meat with scallion oil.

He specially picked a relatively tender wild bird, cleaned it, blanched it in water, and then salted it.The marinated wild bird meat is stuffed with sliced ​​ginger and ginger and garlic, and steamed in a cooker.

After the wild bird meat is steamed, there is still the original steamed soup on the plate, and there are little golden oil beads floating on the white soup, which is full of mellow aroma.

Shen Huaijin carefully took out the wild bird to cool down, and kept the soup aside for later use.After the cooled wild bird meat was cut into pieces and served on a plate, it was poured with original soup and two spoons of fish sauce.Heat the oil in a cooker, add minced green onion and minced licorice and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the shallot oil over the wild bird meat while it is still hot.

The aroma of scallion oil wafted overbearingly, and Shen Huaijin couldn't help but try a piece.

The fat content of wild bird meat itself is not high, and it is cooked to be tender, juicy and chewy.After one sip, the taste blooms on the tip of the tongue.This method not only retains the mellowness of the ingredients, but also adds the lingering flavor of scallion oil, which tastes delicious.

He couldn't help but tasted two more pieces, and then he was willing to put a large plate of wild bird meat with scallion oil aside.

The dried mushrooms were almost soaked. Shen Huaijin squeezed the water out and tore them into small pieces. The wild birds were also cleaned and chopped into small pieces.

Clay pots are not easy to conduct heat, but fortunately there is still some residual heat after using them just now.Shen Huaijin boiled the animal oil over high heat, put in the wild bird pieces and stir-fried until the wild bird meat changed color, then put in the onion, garlic, chili pepper and licorice powder and stir-fried together until the aroma was released, and then poured in the cold boiled water that had not covered the wild bird pieces.

When the soup is bubbling, the fresh fragrance of wild bird meat will waft out.Shen Huaijin skimmed off the foam on the top layer, put in the dried mushrooms and continued to cook.

At this time, Li Yuming and the others rushed back to Yanzhong.

In order to catch up with the schedule, everyone came back later without knowing it day by day, and now the fatigue on their faces was a little obvious.

Shen Huaijin wiped the sweat off Li's forehead distressedly, and couldn't help frowning: "In the beginning, we divided into four teams, isn't it just to prevent everyone from working too hard, why does it look busier now?"

Li smiled indifferently, revealing the whiter teeth under the bronze skin, "It's okay, Jin, it will be fine after a few more days. Although it's hard work, in such a short period of time, you can see the base and roads being destroyed." After building it, we all feel a sense of accomplishment in our hearts.”

Shen Huaijin understood the mentality of the infrastructure madman.

He took out the cold baikai that he had prepared in advance and asked him to add water, while watching the soup in the pot, he chatted with the orc.

When Shen Huaijin heard the news of longhorn beasts appearing around the valley, Shen Huaijin was inevitably a little surprised.He hadn't actually seen the longhorn yet, but he used its femur to make a knife, and he also knew that the tree's life was hanging by a thread because of it.

"Is nothing wrong?" Shen Huaijin said worriedly.

"No." Shaking his head resolutely, "The longhorn beasts travel far away from the valley, they will not take the initiative to come over. The longhorn beasts are not aggressive beasts, they will only passively defend their territory .”

After hearing Li's assurance, Shen Huaijin felt relieved, but he was still a little curious why he had never seen a longhorn.

"Has the tribe stopped hunting longhorns since the tree was injured?"

Li looked into his eyes, and said softly, "No, it's because you brought new food to the tribe that we can not risk our lives to round up longhorn beasts."

Shen Huaijin was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head and smiled.

At this time, the soup has thickened, Shen Huaijin poured some salt into it, stirred it evenly, sprinkled it with chopped green onion and served.

He also steamed two bowls of custard by the way, poured three drops of fish sauce on each, and shook it slightly to create a tempting scene of rippling water.

Egg custard, wild bird meat with scallion oil, and wild bird stewed with mushrooms were all served on the stone table. After the two sat down, they couldn't wait to eat.

Mushrooms and wild bird meat are extremely delicious ingredients. After being stewed for more than half an hour, the soup is full of essence, and it will leave your lips and teeth fragrant after taking a sip.The mushrooms are soaked in the soup, which gives it a unique crunchy texture.The wild bird meat is a must. It is stewed until it is soft and not mushy. When you bite it, you can feel the mellow and delicious soup bursting out from the texture. The more you chew, the more delicious it is.

Li Lian repeatedly admired, after eating the wild bird meat and mushrooms, he couldn't help but drink up the soup as well.

Seeing Li Li's appearance, Shen Huaijin was also relieved.

He was in a very happy mood this day, and the food in his mouth was even more delicious. He even thought that the steamed egg custard dripped with fish sauce was extra delicious. It was smooth and delicious without losing its umami taste.

The custard brought back memories for him.

When he was a child, his parents were busy with work, and occasionally they would not be able to take care of home. They were afraid that he would be hungry, so after returning home, they could only steam pot rice and add custard in a hurry.Little Shen Huaijin often scooped up half a bowl of rice and mixed it with rice.

The smooth custard mixed with steaming rice has become one of his fondest childhood memories.

Now, Shen Huaijin is sitting under the burning peach blossoms, sitting opposite to the one she loves, and finally feels the warmth of home again.

The author has something to say: Xiao Shen: I dream of herding sheep, but only one head, if the sheep is lost, I will lose it too.
