This Is My Primitive Tribe

In the evening, Jiang Xuan took out a cleaned pottery jar from the house, put all the clean snow on the reed mat into the jar, and then moved it back into the house.

Because of the existence of the fire pit, the temperature in the house is much higher than outside, and these snowflakes will slowly melt into snow water.

According to Jiang Xuan's memory in his previous life, snow water is a kind of water that is very beneficial to the human body, and it is different from ordinary water.

Ordinary water contains an ingredient that is harmful to animals, that is, heavy water. Heavy water has an inhibitory effect on the metabolism of organisms. Too high a content can even lead to death of organisms.

The heavy water content in snow water is 25% less than that of ordinary water, which can stimulate the metabolism of animals and stimulate biological growth.

Because of this, drinking boiled snow water, or eating food made from snow water, is beneficial to the human body.

Of course, due to the severe air pollution in the previous life, the snow that fell in most places, except for a few remote areas, was no longer clean.

Now it is different. Jiang Xuan is in the primitive world, and the snow falling from the sky is naturally very pure.

After Jiang Xuan moved Xue back to the house, he took out some vegetables from the small cellar dug in the yard and cleaned it.

The vegetables he took out included primitive cabbage, radish-like root plants, and colored peppers.

These vegetables are all grown by Jiang Xuan in the yard.

When the weather got cold, he picked all the vegetables, some were dried, and some were piled in a small cellar to eat slowly.

Winter vegetables are not perishable, fresh vegetables are placed in the cellar and can be eaten for a long time.

After Jiang Xuan washed the vegetables, they placed them in a rattan woven dust basket to dry the water.

He cleaned another pottery ding, then placed it in the fire pit, and added a lot of snow that showed signs of melting into the pottery ding.

As the flames burned, the Tao Ding became hotter and hotter, and the snow inside quickly melted into snow water.

After the snow melts, the volume will become smaller, so although a pottery cauldron was stuffed with snow just now, it becomes very little after it melts.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan kept adding snow to it until half of the snow water was melted.

Jiang Xuan removed the fire under the Tao Ding, then added an appropriate amount of salt to the boiling snow water to allow the snow water to cool naturally.

Afterwards, he moved out two more jars and cleaned them.

These two jars are the kimchi jars that Jiang Xuan personally fired in the past. They have an inner lid and an outer lid, and there are altar eaves that can hold water. The sealing is quite good.

When the snow water cooled and the vegetables dried, Jiang Xuan started to make the food he remembered.

That is snow water kimchi!

Snow water kimchi is more crisp and delicious than ordinary kimchi, and the taste is very good.

More importantly, even if the kimchi made by snow water is rough, it is not easy to deteriorate.

Thinking of the delicious taste of kimchi, Jiang Xuan involuntarily began to swallow.

He first sorted the vegetables in the dustbin one by one and put them into two jars respectively, and then added some wild ginger, wild pepper and other spices into the two jars.

Finally, he added salt to the pottery cauldron and poured cold snow water into two jars until the vegetables were submerged.

He closed the inner and outer lids of the jar again, and placed the two jars in a cooler corner of the house.

Finally, he scooped up the snow water from the pottery tripod with a water ladle and poured it into the eaves of the altar, so that the jar was truly sealed.

"Next, just wait patiently."

Jiang Xuan looked at the two jars with anticipation in his eyes.

In the previous life, every winter, Jiang Xuan's mother would always make two jars of snow water kimchi, and he would also fight and help out.

In this life, there is no mother to help him make it.

I don't know if his mother is doing well after he leaves, will he look forward to him going back to eat snow water kimchi?

"Mom, I'm sorry..."

When Jiang Xuan thought of his mother, his emotions suddenly collapsed. Two crystal teardrops fell down his cheeks and fell to the ground, breaking into countless petals.

It is a fortunate thing to travel through time, but people are not grass and trees, how can they not want to go home?

Unfortunately, it will never go back.

After a long time, Jiang Xuan sat by the fire pond again.

He is a person with a very strong heart. He just saw things and thinks about people, and it is human nature. After releasing his emotions, he slowly recovered his calmness.

Since there is no way to go back, then live a good life, even better than the previous life.

The fire pond made a sound of "crack, crackle, crackle", and the flames kept beating all the time. Jiang Xuan just looked at the flames and sat for a long time...

...

On the east bank of the rattan tribe, there is a stone tool workshop.

"Ding ding ding..."

The old man Heishi held a stone hammer and a stone chisel in his hands, and tapped on a round stone in a hurry.

This round stone is about sixty centimeters in diameter and twenty centimeters thick. It is very heavy.

Next to this stone, there is another piece of almost the same size, which has been polished. It has grinding eyes, deep grinding teeth, and a wooden handle, which is very beautiful.

The combination of these two large round stones is the stone mill that Jiang Xuan needs.

In order to polish this pair of stone mills, the black stone old man has spent more than a month.

After he tapped the last grinding pattern, the old man Heishi blew the stone chips on it, revealing the neat grinding teeth.

Although he is quite old, the old man of Black Stone is still very strong.

He lifted one side of the grinding wheel, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Just the last step left."

The old man put down the grinding wheel, walked to the side of the stone tool workshop, and took out a golden bronze shaft from an animal skin bag.

This bronze shaft was specially instructed by Jiang Xuan to the smelting workshop to cast it by the lost wax method according to the eye cut out in the middle of the stone mill.

The old man Heishi held the heavy bronze shaft and hesitated for a moment, but soon, his eyes became firm again.

"The leader is right. It doesn't matter what materials are used, it is important to be able to make good tools!"

The old man of Black Stone placed the bronze shaft in the center of the stone mill base, and then tapped it down gently with a stone hammer.

Because the bronze shaft was cast according to the eyes chiseled on the grinding table, and the size was very suitable, the old man Heishi knocked down the bronze shaft without much effort.

Then, he picked up another grinding disc, aimed it at the bronze shaft, and put it down gently.

"winter!"

The craftsmanship of the old man of black stone grinding stone tools is indeed unique. After the two grinding discs are put together, they fit very well, and there is no unevenness.

Afterwards, the old man Heishi held the wooden handle on the stone mill and pushed it hard.

The grinding disc began to rotate slowly, because the grinding teeth had not been run-in, and the rotation was a little difficult.

The old man Heishi asked two powerful apprentices to unload the stone mill, one fan for each person, hold it outside to clean it, and then put it together again and slowly rotate it to make them run in better.

When the teeth on both sides of the stone mill were almost worn in, the old man Heishi asked the two apprentices to send them to Jiang Xuan.

At this time, the edge of the Feiyu River has begun to freeze, but the ice is still relatively small, and it is still possible to ferry boats.

The two apprentices hugged the stone mill, crossed the river on a big bamboo raft, and then sent the stone mill to Jiang Xuan's yard.

When Jiang Xuan received the stone mill, he was very pleasantly surprised, because the stone mill made by the old man Heishi was almost no different from the one he remembered.

The upper part of the stone mill has a wooden handle that can be turned, and the lower part of the stone mill has an outer groove. After the food is ground, it flows into the outer groove along the stone mill, and then flows into the wood along the mouth of the outer groove. in buckets or other containers.

"beautiful!"

Jiang Xuan looked at the stone mill and pushed it a few times with his own hands, feeling very good.

"Boss, the things have been delivered, we will go back first."

The two apprentices were not very comfortable in front of Jiang Xuan, and they turned around and wanted to get sick.

"and many more."

Jiang Xuan stopped them, and took out a few large pieces of bacon that he made, and said, "I brought this bacon back for me, and I said it was made by myself, and it was a thank you gift."

"Yes."

The two apprentices took the bacon, then turned around and wanted to be fat again.

"Wait a second..."

Jiang Xuan took out two more pieces of jerky, and stuffed one for each of the two apprentices, saying, "This is for you, thank you for sending the stone mill to me in such a cold day, be careful when you go back, pay attention to Safety."

"This……"

The two apprentices were a little overwhelmed. They didn't expect that they could get the jerky presented by the leader just by sending something. They were both excited and moved.

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Take it back and eat it."

"Thank you chief."

The two apprentices sincerely thanked Jiang Xuan before turning around and leaving.

Jiang Xuan's small gesture made them feel very warm, even if it was icy and snowy outside, they didn't feel cold anymore.

After watching the two apprentices leave, Jiang Xuan looked around the room, and finally set his eyes on the table made of huge wooden piers.

"Let's put it here for now."

Jiang Xuan picked up the heavy stone mill with his bare hands, placed it lightly on the table, fiddled with it, and cleaned the stone mill twice.

"Try if you can grind beans."

Jiang Xuan poured out half a bag of black pearl beans, and then used a smaller, dry scoop, kilned half a scoop of black pearl beans, and tried to pour some into the stone mill.

"crunch..."

Jiang Xuan did not add a wooden pole to the handle of the stone mill. Instead, he relied on great strength to perform miracles, holding the wooden handle and turning the large stone mill with his bare hands.

Those black pearl beans were ground along the grinding teeth in the heavy stone mill, and then dropped into the outer groove together with the skin.

"not bad."

Jiang Xuan praised, then continued to add black pearl beans to the grinding eye, and continued to turn the stone mill.

He placed a pottery jar at the outlet of the outer groove of the stone mill, and from time to time he swept down the ground black peas.

After grinding half a bag of black peas, Jiang Xuan cleaned the stone mill, and then poured the black peas in the clay pot onto the dustbin woven with fine rattan.

"Crash..."

He kept shaking the dustpan, shaking it up and down a few times from time to time.

After a while, the lighter black pearl bean skin slowly floated to the top, and the heavier beans were below.

Jiang Xuan sifted all the bean skins, leaving only the black pearl beans with their skins removed.

Afterwards, he washed the black pearl beans~www.readwn.com~ and skimmed off the floating impurities, soaked them in water in a pottery jar, and closed the lid.

Because of the cold weather, he deliberately placed the pot next to the fire so that the water temperature could be a little higher.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Jiang Xuan opened the lid of the pottery jar, took some black pearl beans from it, twisted it with his fingers, and the black pearl beans suddenly became smashed.

"almost."

Jiang Xuan nodded. After soaking overnight, these black pearl beans were relatively soft.

Jiang Xuan held the pottery jar next to the stone mill, and then began to grind the beans for the second time.

The first time you grind the beans is to peel and break them, and the second time you grind the beans to make them into a pulp, which is used to make soy milk or tofu.

Jiang Xuan placed another pottery jar at the outlet of the outer tank of the stone mill, then scooped up the beans with water with a long-handled spoon and poured it into the grinding eye.

"crunch..."

The stone mill began to slowly turn again, and the soaked beans were ground to shreds, mixed with water, and flowed into the outer groove of the stone mill.

Jiang Xuan was not in a hurry or slow, grinding little by little until all the beans were ground.

After grinding, Jiang Xuan removed the pottery jar with the soy milk and cleaned the stone grinder.

The next step, which made Jiang Xuan difficult, was filtering, which also became pulping.

Pulp pressing is to squeeze out the essence of the beans and leave the bean dregs, so that the tofu will coagulate into lumps and taste fresh.

However, a tofu bag is needed for pulping, and at worst, a good cloth is needed. Where can Jiang Xuan go to find cloth?

Jiang Xuan pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of anything to replace the tofu cloth to filter out the bean dregs.

Could it be that after grinding so many black pearl beans, you can only boil them all into soy milk?

Jiang Xuan was a little unwilling.
