In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.
Chapter 14 Pueraria lobata powder making
After eating the braised rabbit meat, the children ate up all the remaining food along with the wild vegetable soup.
With the help of Lin Dashan, Lin Kunlun processed all the Pueraria root skins.
"Sanwa! What's the use of this thing! It tastes slightly sweet when you chew it! But it can't be used as food, nor can it be used to make dishes!" Lin Dashan asked while looking at the kudzu roots.
"This thing is a treasure! Not only can it be used as a snack, it can also be turned into flour!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.
"This thing that looks like a tree root can turn into flour!" Ye Cai'e asked in surprise. You know, they don't usually have flour. It's good enough to eat some grains like sorghum and millet. Wheat requires good farmland. And it's usually used to pay taxes. So even if they grow crops, it's hard to eat real white flour.
"We need to find a stone mill to crush them, and then I'll turn them into flour for you to see!" You may not pay attention to these things normally, so you can't think of where there is a stone mill that can be used to crush these things!
"That's easy. I'll take it over later! Just grind it on the stone mill at the entrance of the village!" Lin Dasan quickly thought of the big stone mill that they usually used to press grain.
Lin Dashan was impatient and would do anything once he spoke. Lin Kunlun immediately carried the bamboo basket on his back and followed Lin Dashan to the village, to the grain drying ground next to the big ancient well.
There is a stone mill here that people usually use to grind flour.
When they arrived at the millstone, some villagers had already followed them. They were very curious about what Lin Kunlun was going to do. You know, Lin Kunlun has been the subject of discussion in the village these days.
You know, nowadays everyone eats wild vegetables and tree roots. Suddenly someone hunted wild game for several days in a row. You can imagine the impact of this incident.
So the idle villagers and children gathered around, wondering what Lin Kunlun was going to do.
"Brother Lin, what are these?" a villager asked Lin Dashan.
"This is what Sanwazi found on the mountain. It's called Pueraria root!" Lin Kunlun didn't intend to hide it, and he couldn't hide it. People probably didn't recognize this plant before. Or they didn't think it was edible, so they didn't pay attention to this vine root.
"What is this thing used for?" a villager asked.
"I don't know either. Sanwazi found this!" Lin Dashan shook his head. He didn't dare to say that this thing could be made into flour. If he failed, he would be laughed at by others.
"Sanwa! What is the use of this thing?" A villager couldn't help but ask Lin Kunlun.
Lin Kunlun thought that everyone was in a difficult situation now. If everyone could find Pueraria root in the mountains, it would increase their food supply and increase their chances of survival.
"This thing is called Pueraria root! It is mostly found near tunnels in the mountains! Everyone bring back its roots! Peel off the skin on the surface! It can be eaten directly! You can also crush it, then wash it and get the powder inside! It can be used as flour!" Lin Kunlun didn't know how to explain what starch was.
Pueraria root starch is a starch powder extracted from Pueraria root. Its main components are starch and cellulose. It is a natural food raw material without additives and chemical ingredients. It is very popular in modern society when it is processed into many foods.
"This thing can be ground into powder!" Some villagers said in disbelief, after all, it looks like a tree root. It can be ground into powder that is the same as flour.
Lin Kunlun thought about how his image in the eyes of the villagers had always been bad. If he wanted to stay here for a long time, he had to change his image. He smiled and took a few kudzu roots. He cut them into small pieces and distributed them to the villagers.
"Everyone try the taste of this kudzu root, it tastes good when you chew it in your mouth!"
The villagers took it and chewed it gently. You know, at this time, as long as they can eat something, they will fill their stomachs without hesitation. It was really those wild vegetables with little oil and water, which were not enough to satisfy hunger. Originally, they thought it should be bitter tree roots. After chewing it in their mouths, there was a faint sweetness.
"This thing is really good? You can eat it directly like this!" A villager made it happily. It tasted much better than those wild vegetables boiled in water.
Lin Kunlun placed the Pueraria roots on the millstone.
"If you see this kind of kudzu root in the mountains in the future, you can bring some back, but don't dig it all at once, leave some seeds there! This thing contains a lot of nutrients and is good for the body!" Lin Kunlun explained. He started to push the stone mill! Fortunately, this body is still strong. There is no pressure at all to push this stone mill.
Lin Kunlun pushed Lin Dashan while adding some water. Soon the milky white water flowed from the bottom into the wooden barrel. This is actually where the starch is. What remains on the millstone is plant fiber. It's a pity that there is no modern soy milk machine, otherwise the plant fiber can be directly crushed. After all, plant fiber is also a very beneficial thing for the human body.
In the end, all the kudzu roots in a bamboo basket were squeezed to produce white juice!
Lin Kunlun threw away all these plant fibers. In fact, if there is no food in the family, they can grind it up and put it in the grains to eat. But Lin Kunlun doesn't want to eat these things.
"Sanwazi! Where is the flour you mentioned? It can't be these white things!" A villager asked in confusion. You know, when you grind flour or something like that, you press it directly into white powder. Now Lin Kunlun was mixing water into it while pressing it, so it turned into white water.
"Yes, it's here! But we have to wait for the moisture in here to evaporate, and then we can get something similar to flour!" Lin Kunlun said with a smile.
"Sanwa, where did you learn this from?" asked the oldest man, Mr. Li! You know, no one in the village knew that Pueraria root, which looks like a tree root, can be made into flour.
"This! I overheard it from a traveling merchant in town! Now everyone is short of food at home! When you see these kinds of vine roots, you can bring them back and make them into this kind of batter! You can drink this stuff directly by heating it! Let it dry and turn the moisture into flour to make cakes and the like!" Lin Kunlun explained with a smile.
Now some villagers started to move and headed up the mountain. It was not like they had never seen this kind of root before, but they just didn't think it was edible.
When Lin Kunlun returned home with the wooden barrel, Lin Dashan asked curiously, "Sanwa! Why did you want to tell everyone about this method?"
"If I don't tell them this method, they will know it themselves! It's better to tell them to do them a favor! Nowadays, one more food to eat means one more possibility of survival! I'm afraid the harvest won't be that good this year!" After all, Lin Kunlun is a top investor in modern society. A method with no economic benefits and no possibility of keeping it secret. It can change his image among the villagers and improve the relationship between his family and the villagers. It is very worthwhile.
