Chapter 155: Pound rice

Grinding rice is a very ancient and practical agricultural production activity. Its history can even be traced back to the early days of human civilization.
It has been born since the earliest slash-and-burn farming in the early embryonic era of human civilization, and it has been spread for thousands of years in the Yan country. It was not until the emergence of modern mechanical processing that this ancient agricultural production activity was gradually replaced.
But even so, this ancient skill can still be seen in the vast rural areas of Yan Country.
To pound, with the same sound, means to put something in a stone mortar or mortar and mash it with a pestle.
This is an ancient hieroglyph, with a mortar at the bottom, and the upper part in the inscriptions and small seals, both holding a pestle, which vividly and vividly express the meaning of this character.
And understand the meaning of this word, then it is very simple to restore this ancient agricultural production activity.
Find a container that is strong enough, put the rice in it, and then use a heavy object to pound it until all the rice husks are broken and the rice grains are exposed.
In the vast rural areas, this container is usually made of stone. The more primitive and ancient one is to burn a pit with a tree stump.
As for the tools used for pounding, wood, stone, or metal can be used, as long as they are heavy enough to crush the rice husk.
The method used by Chen Xin is to make a large bowl and a metal rod out of metal materials, then put the rice into the bowl and pound it with the metal rod.
Because the rice was not dried in the sun, and instead of pounding all the rice, he just processed a little bit to cook and eat. It is enough to pound the rice in a large bowl.
Putting the golden rice into the bowl, mashing it with a metal rod one by one, watching the rice husk gradually break, revealing the light brown rice grains inside, is a very happy thing to feel the labor.
In particular, the rice has not been air-dried, so it still emits a light fragrance, which can make people feel more happy, making Chen Xin look forward to tasting the rice that he has grown by himself.
Since Chen Xin only mulled a bowl of rice, he did not spend too much time on it.
It's just that the rice and bran haven't been separated yet. Obviously, they can't be boiled directly if they are mixed together. A screening is needed to separate the rice and bran.
The most traditional method known to Chen Xin is to use a flat basket to sieve the pounded rice bran mixture. The rice grains are heavier and fall back into the basket under the action of gravitational potential energy after the sieve. Light, it will be blown away by the wind during the sifting process.
And the dust mixed in the rice grains will fall down along the gaps of the flat baskets, leaving only clean rice grains in the end.
But at this time Chen Xin didn't have a flat basket, and he couldn't make one by himself, because the flat basket was made of bamboo strips, so where would you go to find bamboo in the last days?
If you use metal materials, it is purely a sin for yourself. How much effort does it take to sift a flat iron basket?
So at this time, we need to use a little more modern means.
Sieve rice itself is a very classic and simple application of physics knowledge. Although the ancestors who did so may not be able to understand the physics principles contained in it, it does not prevent them from doing so.
And knowing that the principle of sieving rice is to use the difference in weight between rice grains and grains, and use wind to take away the chaff and rice grains, and that matter is easy to handle.
Chen Xin only needs to make a blower, blow the mixture of rice and bran with a blower, and blow out the chaff inside.
The blower is not difficult to do, especially the separation of the chaff and the rice does not require too much wind, even an electric fan or a hand-operated blower can do the job.
With the help of the system, a hand-operated blower was made on the workbench, and a funnel was installed at the air outlet of the blower, and a hole was opened on one side of the funnel to facilitate the separation of the chaff. Chen Xin can easily To get clean rice grains.
The chaff that was blown out was carefully collected by him in a small bag, and the light brown rice grains were placed in a bowl, making Chen Xin a little impatient to taste it.
Wash the rice grains with water, put them in an iron pan, add an appropriate amount of water and cook together. The rest is just waiting for the rice to be cooked.
While waiting for the rice to be cooked, to celebrate today's harvest, Chen Xin went to the food storage room to cut some Jinhua ham and Iberian ham, took a cabbage, and canned pork and canned tuna.
Iberian ham is raw ham. The best way to eat it is to eat it fresh and eat it raw.
Although it can also be used to make salads or eat with bread and fruit, or to make soup and other hot dishes, the former has no conditions and the latter is too wasteful.
So Chen Xin just cut a few slices and planned to serve them with rice.
Jinhua ham can be used in a wide range of applications~EbookFREE.me~ It can be used to stir-fry cabbage, it can be used to stew in soup, and it is even delicious when it is spread on rice and braised together.
Therefore, for the processing of Jinhua ham, Chen Xin sliced ​​half of the ham he had cut into thin slices and put it on the rice, while the remaining half was chopped up and used to stir-fry cabbage.
As for canned pork and canned tuna, this is just a simple side dish after heating.
Humming a pleasant little tune and cutting cabbage, Chen Xin felt that he had found the joy of cooking after a long absence.
Being able to take the chef certificate as a non-professional chef is enough to prove that Chen Xin really likes cooking, but the lack of ingredients after the end of the world makes him unable to perform his cooking skills and can only eat ready-made food, which really makes him want The heart of cooking is too long.
Although there are still only a few simple ingredients, I can make up one or two dishes.
Compared with the refuge food that is simply seasoned, the meal he is preparing is equally simple, but the taste and the happiness and satisfaction it brings are completely different.
The former just fills the stomach, while the latter brings real enjoyment of food.
In this extremely cold and dark apocalypse, it is a very extravagant act to be able to enjoy the happiness of real food.
But it has to be said that the abundant food in many construction games can increase the happiness of the people and improve the morale of the warriors. This is really reasonable and reasonable.
Eating well and eating well can indeed give people a great sense of happiness and satisfaction.
When Chen Xin added Jinhua ham to the rice, as the rice gradually cooked and gave off a strong fragrance, Chen Xin had the deepest experience while swallowing his saliva.
