After more than a month of polishing, the stone mill has begun to take shape. Although it is much rougher than the stone mill I saw in the previous life, these are not important. The key is that it must be able to be polished. After Li Feng and the others finally assembled the stone mill, they couldn't wait to take out some corn to grind it into cornmeal.

Because we were not making batter, we didn’t need to add water. Li Feng poured some corn kernels into the round hole in the middle of the stone grinder, and then pushed it together with Li Feng. Since the stone grinder was rough and the twill lines in the middle were not very fine, so he was pushing it. It was a bit laborious at the time, and the stone mill was quite big, and Li Feng couldn't push it alone. So when they were making stone mills, Li Feng directly asked them to install two push handles, which was convenient for two people to push. This time, the reason why four people came together was because they were all curious. Li Feng was curious. What is the quality of the flour? Is the ground flour fine? As for the other three people, they are just curious. When they were making it before, they didn't know what it would look like in the end. This big thing can really make the corn melt. Grind the grains into powder? And from inside such a small hole

Li and Bu were already strong, and there were two other grown men. Even though the stone mill was heavy, they couldn't even notice it. After putting the golden corn kernels in, some fine powder came out within two turns. Not much, but at least it's effective. Li Feng was greatly encouraged. It was his job to turn around and lick the corn inside. He would refill the corn when the corn in the small hole dropped to half. Although the hole was small, it could not stop them. The speed is fast.

Later, Li Feng felt that he could hardly keep up with the speed of adding food, so he simply let Li and the others do the grinding while he added the food, so as not to make himself dizzy like a donkey and have to keep lifting. Holding his arm, now he only needs to stand aside and see if the food is almost gone before adding more ingredients. The effect of this cooperation is very obvious. Especially after Li Feng had finished grinding dozens of kilograms of corn kernels that he had brought out for grinding flour, it was obvious that Li Feng was not satisfied yet and they all wanted to 'play' for a while longer, not getting tired, and being able to grind so much flour. When I came out, I couldn't help but praise this stone mill. I can eat a lot of noodles in the future, and finally I don't have to pound it hard in the stone mortar anymore.

Li Feng looked at the way they were still unfinished with their clothes and smiled, "Since you haven't had enough, then this job will be all on you from now on?" I think it's fun now, but if we come here often, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it, even the mules and donkeys. I have to tie my eyes so it doesn't bother me.

The golden cornmeal exposed in a circle of stone troughs below was gently swept into a clean pottery jar. It was always done by the strong wind every time before, so after getting used to it, the flour did not come out of any stone mouth at all. It fell out, and the flour was enough to fill most of the pottery jar. You must know that the pottery jar they made is not small.

"Okay, this is quite fun anyway." As soon as he heard Li's words, he happily agreed and immediately agreed. He quite liked this and was not tired.

"Okay, don't regret it when the time comes?" Li Feng covered the pottery jar and said to Ruo with a smile.

"As long as we have time, we will definitely do it." After all, Bu was smarter and had seized the right to speak beforehand. He couldn't say enough and had to leave room for himself.

Li Feng didn't make any calculations, and couldn't help but secretly thought to himself that Bu Zhen was getting smarter and smarter. He was quite easy to deceive at first, but now that Bu was in charge, he actually blocked his words. Forget it, who would be able to do it then? Whoever has the time will come. "Okay, I got it. I'm going to steam some steamed buns tonight and then make bean juice porridge. Don't you want to continue playing? Then let's grind the bean noodles!"

Li Feng is not worried that they will be idle. They have several crops that can be used to grind flour. They can grind dried sweet potatoes and taro, plus corn and soybeans when they want to eat. Under the thatched shed in the yard, if the space is spacious, you might be able to find animals such as mules to grind the mill, which is much better than human power. You must know that wheat is grown in the tribe, and there will only be more and more crops in the future. If you show up, you will definitely be too busy by then.

Li and the others were 'playing' there, while Li Feng was busy waking up the noodles to wait for making steamed buns in the evening. I don't know if the multigrain noodles mixed with bean noodles were not the same as wheat noodles, and the noodles had to be cooked at the same time. ? However, I can only try it and find out in the evening.

Mo and Lu also circled excitedly around Shimo. Although they were not as tall as Shimo, they actually wanted to try pushing. As you can imagine, they couldn't even touch the push handle of Shimo. It's strange that it can be pushed. However, this could not stop their curiosity and excitement. They held the little bun and watched the powder that was constantly grinding out from around the stone mill. When grinding the bean juice later, add some water to the soaked beans, and what comes out is the bean juice. All this makes them feel magical and admired, and they think they will grind it when they grow up. They don't understand anything yet, and they have no idea how dark their ambitions will be if Li Feng knows about them...

After a day of fermentation, the flour has almost woken up, and it has risen quite smoothly. The small piece of flour that was originally fermented has now become a full basin. This fermentation is good at this point, and you can make a lot of things with just a little flour. Steamed bun. It doesn't matter if you don't have a big pot. Let's use a large pottery pot or pot, fill it with half of the hot water, and then put a rough grate made of clean wood chips. Originally, the last bamboo slices were tied into a round shape, which can be placed The middle of the pot happens to be stuck, but there is no bamboo here, so I can only use clean and non-toxic wood chips instead. The thickness varies, but fortunately, it is done. There are finger-sized gaps in the middle of the grate. It can be steamed quickly when steamed.

Steamed buns are relatively simple. After the dough is mixed and kneaded on a flat stone table, the dough is cut into pieces, rolled into thick strips, and then cut into rectangular shapes or cut into pieces. The dough was round, but Li Feng didn't want to bother and cut it into a rectangular shape, about the size of a palm, and used a knife to cut a little bit in the middle, so that he wouldn't worry about the middle being cooked. The dough was so soft that Mo and Lu wanted to squeeze it, but Li Feng stopped them. This was not for them to play with, although it was indeed quite fun.

The rest is to be steamed directly in the pot. Just wait for the water to boil and then steam for a while. You can't just eat steamed buns and bean juice porridge at night. Li Feng simply prepares to fry a sausage and bacon, and then fry a pickle. , these pickled and sun-dried pickles are similar to pickles with pickles and dried radish. The stir-fried pickles are very fragrant and go well with rice. Especially Li Feng also imitated pickles with pickled pickles and cooked them with meat. Now their family often eats them. Anyway, there is a lot of meat now, and the pickled prunes are made from some fresh vegetables that he picked before. The taste is no worse than what he bought at the market before. The whole family likes this very much, but Li Feng is afraid of eating pickles. Too much is not good for your health, so you don’t do it often. Even the pickles they usually pickle must be washed many times before eating. After all, in winter, when there are no vegetables, we can only eat some pickles.

However, the most pity is that there are no fresh vegetables now, and I can only eat pickles, meat and the like every day. Li Feng thought about waiting until next year to see if he can find some winter vegetables such as radishes and cabbage. As for tonight, it will be That's all.

The vegetables had just been fried and brought to the table, and the hot steamed buns were also coming out of the pan. The golden-yellow and soft-looking steamed buns exuded a pure natural fragrance. Several people sniffed it vigorously and thought... They hurried forward to get one to eat, but it was too hot, so they had to wait for a while, but their eyes were staring straight at it. Li Feng hurriedly drove them aside and asked them to put a bowl of bean juice for each of them, so that they could eat later.

Today’s dinner is quite sumptuous, including soft steamed buns with the aroma of corn, and milky white soy sauce with a strong aroma of soy milk. This is their staple food. Then on the table are sausages, bacon, fried fish, and pickled pork with dried vegetables. and pickles. The table was filled with steam, and the taste of every food directly stimulated the taste glands to secrete saliva. One person grabbed a long and big steamed bun in his hand, took a bite of the hot and soft stuff, and then took another bite of dried plums and vegetables with meat. It's oily, and the aroma of cornmeal in your mouth perfectly blends with the salty but not greasy taste of pork with pickled vegetables and dried vegetables. After one bite, you really want to swallow your tongue, especially for someone who has never eaten such soft noodles. As for others, Li Feng had always made very rough dough pancakes before. The steamed buns this time were not only made from finely ground flour, but also had a soft texture that made you want to eat them when you touched them. I felt a little choked after one bite. I ate too fast. I just took a sip of the fragrant bean juice. My whole body warmed up instantly and my sweat pores opened.

The bacon sausage is chewy and oily, and the fried fish wrapped in flour is crispy, fragrant and tender. Even the fish bones are fried crispy, so there is no need to worry about getting stuck; although the pickles are usually eaten, but after eating the previous ones After the meat dishes, take a sip of bean juice to clear the greasy mouth, and then take a bite of the crispy pickles on the steamed buns that are softer than white clouds. It is simply the best partner for meat and vegetables! They all had a round belly after eating this meal. Although they usually eat a lot, today was the day they ate the most, especially steamed buns. Li Feng steamed a big pot, but there wasn't much left. Well, they have a large family, and most of them are adult men.

Since the stone mill was ready, Li Feng and the others have been grinding flour to make steamed buns for three days and two. Li Feng has nothing to do, so he makes some flower rolls or steams meat buns with various fillings, mushrooms and other flavors. Steamed buns, or various vegetable rolls similar to radish rolls, are a very rich meal, especially pasta, not to mention noodles, dough, etc., which are also common. Fortunately, their family had obtained a lot of various crops, otherwise it would not be enough to eat as they did, not to mention that Li Feng still had some seeds reserved for next year that could not be touched.

The winter passed quietly with their family eating well every day. Most of the people in the tribe did not starve to death or freeze to death. They prepared a winter's worth of food, and the consumption was almost the same after a winter. It's all gone, and this is what they save through frugality. The physical strength stored in one winter is just in time to use up some excess energy in spring, the season when everything recovers. Of course, this is for Li and his family.

Although they usually do a lot of exercise in bed, for Li Hebu and the others who eat less and move less every day, they still have a lot of energy, and every time Li Feng and Suo they have to rest after doing it all night They do it for several days, and sometimes they don't do it for a week. It's hard for them to turn their muscles into fat due to the harsh wind. It's just a good time to take advantage of this season to vent their excess energy by hunting. Hehe, spring is here, and their energy is even stronger. They are eager to pounce on their lovers every day, and then they don't stop all night...

In fact, Li and the others felt that it was not enough, but for Li Feng and Ruo, they had not gained any fat this winter. They often made their backs sore and their legs weak. They were exhausted and could not eat anything. What's not enough is the endurance and stamina of an animal. They toss around every night if they have nothing to do, and then wake up the next day at sunset. Days and nights go by so quickly, but the main culprit for them falling apart is that they are in good spirits every day. Incredible.

Now that spring is here, it's great. They can go out hunting instead of having to torment them at home all winter. Now, after a long day of hunting, they have no energy when they come back. Xin's little calculation was good, but could Li and the others really be tormented by their lack of energy in spring? I'm afraid it won't be as they wish.

Although there is still a cold wind, it is spring after all. The color of grass in the distance makes the animals that have been dormant all winter come out to replenish their food. They take off their heavy animal skins, which are cumbersome, and carry them with them. Relaxed and relaxed, they followed the clan leader into the woods, which were still a little bleak but were slowly beginning to show signs of life.

Li Feng and Suo were at home, taking out all the things that had gone through the winter, washing them, washing them, and drying them in the sun. It was already the weather in February or March of the Gregorian calendar, and the year had passed. Although it was just their family who had a sumptuous meal. A reunion dinner with chicken, duck and fish was set on the table. The family stayed vigil with the meal until twelve o'clock in the night. The time was calculated by guesswork. Although it was a simple celebration of the passing of the old year and the beginning of the new year. The new year is coming, but Li Feng can feel the warmth of the family. It is a very happy atmosphere for the family to have a reunion dinner and watch the New Year. Although he was later eaten by Li repeatedly until dawn, which made him feel happy on the first day of the new year. I spent most of the first day lying in bed like this. Apart from this, I thought everything else was very harmonious and yyy.

Moreover, on the first day of the new year, he actually received New Year's greetings from Lu and Mo's two children. Although it was just a simple bow, Li Feng was very happy. Finally, he had some New Year's feeling and gave it to them. Each person has a little fried popcorn, which is of course made from corn. Think of it as a red envelope. There is no currency here yet.

The little Baozi, who is almost nine months old, is getting up very quickly now. Li and the others went hunting today, and all the things at home have been packed. Li Feng held the baby and played in the yard to bask in the sun. He originally planted a tree in the yard. The two weeping willows also sprouted some yellow and furry spores. He was holding Little Baozi in the yard, supporting his armpits, and was letting him learn to walk. After all, the baby was still young and could not walk alone yet. Li Feng supported him and he seemed to be able to walk very well. With his short legs like wrapped dumplings, he took a limp step, and his whole body was swaying, looking like he was about to fall. However, the little bun didn't care as he was being supported by Baby Li Feng.

He was walking vigorously, everyone was clapping and spitting happily, and his short legs were moving more diligently. "The baby is so amazing. How can he walk so steadily?" Li Feng praised with a smile as he supported him. The cheerful little bun walked along with his movements.

The little bun opened his mouth and giggled, and his pink tongue was still spitting out saliva bubbles, as if he heard his father praising him. After laughing for a while, he actually looked up at Li The wind pulled the tender little voice and said "Babao..."

Li Feng was confused. Was the baby calling him just now? Are you calling 'Dad'? Can the baby call someone? Li Feng was happily stunned by this 'great' event about the baby. It took him a while to react, and his mouth almost reached behind his ears. He directly held the baby on his lap and sat aside, father and son. Face to face, "Baby, baby, call me daddy again?" Li Feng was still a little unsure whether he was calling 'daddy' or just making a 'pop' sound when spitting bubbles.

The baby obviously didn't understand what Li Feng was saying, but when he saw Li Feng's silly smile, he didn't know if he thought his father was funny, so he just grinned again. Just when Li Feng thought he had just laughed. When it was the sound of the baby spitting bubbles, the baby patted Li Feng's face with two chubby little hands, "Dad... dad..." in a tender voice, although there were still some difficulty in pronunciation. It was clear, but Li Feng already knew that the baby was calling him.

For a moment, Li Feng had the urge to cry. His eyes were hot and his nose was sore. He had worked hard to raise a **month-old baby, a soft and waxy baby, a baby like a little bun... unexpectedly He can also call him daddy, the baby can talk, and he can call himself daddy! !

The connection between the blood of the closest relatives made his heart soften. He couldn't help but kiss the baby's tender little face several times. As a result, Li Feng's hair tickled him, and the baby started to giggle again. ...' laughed. At this time, Li Feng was finally able to understand that one of his colleagues told him that he cried when his son called him daddy for the first time in a soft voice. At that time, he thought it was unbelievable, but now he can finally understand it. That great happiness and pride moved him and stirred his heart.

His dearest and dearest baby, one who is melted into his bones and blood, when he makes the most tender cry, when he calls him daddy in a soft voice, that kind of excitement mixed with happiness makes him want to tell everyone. People in the world, his baby son will call daddy!

"Baby, baby, call me again?" Li Feng was not satisfied yet and wanted to hear more.

"Dad...Dad..." The baby also cooperated and called daddy while spitting bubbles.

"Come on, call me again..."

"dad... "

... ...

Finally, the baby who was annoyed by the harassment gave up. He pursed his lips and stopped screaming. He also acted like if you let me scream again, I will cry for you. There were two pools of tears in his bright black eyes. Seeing this, Li Feng quickly stopped his thoughts of continuing to listen, "Let's go, daddy will take you to eat something delicious. What does the baby want to eat? Is milk good? How about soybean juice? Dad, can you make cheese? Do you want to eat it?" ? How about making milk powder? Pork floss?..." Li Feng, who was already overwhelmed with joy, carried the baby to the room to find something to eat, while the baby just went to the room with his two tender babies. Put your arms around Li Feng's neck, close your eyes and sleep. Li Feng's father is so noisy. You can't hear anything when you sleep...

Li Feng happily talked to himself, and when Li came back, he would ask the baby to call him. Hehe, Li's expression would be very interesting then. Thinking like this, I don't know if anything will happen when Li comes back

One winter is enough to change a lot, no matter what it is...

The author has something to say: In view of harmony and other things, the New Year's Eve event will be written in the extra chapter. By then, he will not be afraid of locking the article basket...

The basket will be updated daily in the next few days. Although the basket is going to take the exam this Saturday, I haven’t finished reading the test paper yet...
