After traveling through ancient times, she became a wild woman

Chapter 585 Dried winter bamboo shoots

Xiao Se and Ah Cha came to Gu Yafa and said to Ah Fei who was following them: "Take off the things on top and take out the winter bamboo shoots."

A Fei and other males immediately stepped forward, removed the stone, and took out the winter bamboo shoots from the box: "Hey, how come such thick winter bamboo shoots have become so thin?"

"This is to squeeze out the water in the winter bamboo shoots, so they are so thin." Xiao Se took a winter bamboo shoot. It was very thin, but not dry enough.

Ah Fei was very puzzled and asked: "What happens after it is squeezed and thinned?"

"After squeezing it thin and drying it, it can be stored for several years without rotting." Xiao Se smelled it, and it still tasted a bit watery, so it needed to be dried in the sun for a few more days.

The dried bamboo shoots made in this way are authentic dry goods, and they are very expensive in the market.

But here, people in their own tribe can eat it.

When they heard that it could be stored for several years, A Fei and the others laughed heartily: "That's great, I like food that can be stored for a long time like this. Then when we have winter bamboo shoots, can we all cook them like this?"

Others also looked at Arthur, yes, yes, as long as there is food to eat and you are not hungry, you can do more.

Xiao Se smiled and said, "Okay. A large bamboo forest can be made into dried bamboo shoots and stored for us to eat slowly."

It's good to have something to eat. The hungry and scared tribesmen laughed and worked happily. I hope that every windy and snowy day in the future can be like this year, full of food, drink and warmth.

Put the winter bamboo shoots in the basket and carry them on a pole to the concrete floor of the green brick house.

Here in the blue brick house, there is a high platform made of blue bricks, with a cement surface on it, which can be used to dry animal skins and other necessary items.

"Take out the dried bamboo shoots and put them on top to dry. When they are completely dry, you can put them away and keep them. Take them out to eat when you want to eat them." Xiao Se directed A Fei and the others to spread the winter bamboo shoots out to dry.

A Fei and others moved very quickly and laid out the winter bamboo shoots.

After this was done, Xiao Se was happy and said to Ah Cha: "Let's go and make some winter melon sticks for you to eat."

Ah Cha cheered happily, but accidentally, the sole of her foot slipped and she fell out.

"Ah Cha!" Xiao Se reached out to grab her in a hurry, but failed to catch her. He felt very guilty, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ah Cha quickly got up and smiled cheerfully, "It's okay if I fall."

There was just a lot of dirt on the butt, which stained the hide.

Xiao Se checked her and made sure she was not injured, then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you so excited? I didn't say I wouldn't cook it for you. Hey, I should have cooked it for you when you asked me to." I won’t let you think about it for so long.”

Ah Cha felt embarrassed: "Okay, I'm fine. Really, don't say that. I'm not greedy. I just want to have new things. There's no other meaning. I don't want to eat at all."

Xiao Se nodded her forehead: "You, okay, I understand, but it will take a few days to do that. Let's go back."

As she walked, she looked back at the slippery road. Although the snow had melted, the soil was still a little wet, so she would slip and fall if she wasn't careful.

Ah Cha happily followed Xiao Se to the kitchen, picked up a big winter melon, and was very excited: "How to make it, how to make it?"

"Peel the winter melon and cut it into half smaller than what we usually eat." Xiao Se gestured, "That's almost it."

Ah Cha happily went about her business.

"Arthur, what are you going to do?" Ah Xi, who heard the clan members saying that Arthur and Ah Cha had gone to the kitchen, had already rushed over, her eyes shining like a dog's nose smelling the scent of meat, "You want to make something?" Is it delicious?”

All of them have dog noses.

Xiao Se smiled happily: "Well, let's make winter melon sticks." "How do you do it? What can I do for you?" As soon as he heard that it was making food, Ah Xi was even more excited than Ah Cha and couldn't wait for a second.

Xiao Se walked out the door: "Bring a basin and follow me to get some lime."

"Okay!" Ah Xi picked up a big basin, followed Xiao Se to Ah Sha's place, and got a large plate of lime, "Is it enough?"

Xiao Se looked at the rising lime and hurriedly stopped her: "No, it's too much. Pour it out. Just take half."

Ah Xi reluctantly poured out the lime, muttering as he did so: "Is this lime edible? Then why didn't I listen to you before?"

Xiao Se stroked his forehead and quickly warned her: "Lime is not edible. You must not eat it, or you may be poisoned."

Ah Xi cherished his life the most. Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I don't know how to eat lime. So what are you doing with this?"

"Make winter melon sticks, don't ask, just take it back and I'll make it for you." It's hard to explain, but once you make it and show it to Ah Xi, she will know how to make it.

Ah Xiang was so happy that he followed Xiao Se to the kitchen with Li Li in his arms.

"Pour the lime into this big basin. Don't use the basin you used. There is too much lime. Divide it into two basins." Xiao Se took out a large basin that was twice as big as Ah Xi's hand and placed it on the ground. "Pour half in."

Ah Xi poured half of the lime water in and stared at Xiao Se with shining eyes.

Xiao Se poured the water into a large basin filled with lime and stirred it with a big spoon: "Mix the lime water evenly, then don't move the water and let the lime settle."

Ah Xi stared at the lime water, which was gray and white, and couldn't figure out why. He immediately followed Xiao Se to Ah Cha: "Ah Cha, I'll cut the winter melon too."

"it is good."

Ah Cha's sword skills are not as powerful as Ah Xi's, but they are not bad, at least better than Xiao Se's.

Xiao Se stood nearby without using any force.

After the winter melon strips are cut, the lime water has almost settled.

Pour the winter melon strips into the large wooden barrel, and pour the precipitated lime water into the wooden barrel. Do not pour the bottom layer of white lime in, as it will not cover the winter melon strips.

After pouring, Xiao Se pressed down the winter melon strips slightly, then took a basin and turned it upside down, with a stone on top: "Wait until tomorrow morning."

Ah Xi watched eagerly, and the curious baby came online: "You can't eat lime, so why can you use it to soak winter melon?"

"You also said that you are soaking the winter melon and not boiling it with the winter melon to eat, right?" Xiao Se said, "After soaking, the winter melon needs to be washed many times until there is no lime smell before you can proceed to the next step."

"Moreover, the winter melon soaked in lime will become very hard, so that the winter melon will not break when done later."

Winter melon will become soft when boiled, and will not break after being soaked in lime water.

Ah Xi suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it. Is it true that all soft things that are soaked in lime water and then washed will not break when they are made?"

Xiao Se was startled and smiled: "Theoretically, that's the case."

Ah Xi smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Then I learned something again. So what should we do next?"

"Wait for tomorrow morning." Xiao Se looked at the two females who were looking at him eagerly and smiled, "Tomorrow morning will come soon."
