Su Nian discovered that the plant seeds exchanged this time looked particularly like wheat grains, but they had not been peeled, so there was no way to know whether they could be used to make flour.
Generally speaking, processing wheat using the most primitive method also requires a stone mill, but Su Nian had never seen a stone mill in the cedar forest. She thought about it, found a bowl-shaped stone in the yard, and took a hard wooden hammer to try to crush the grains.
Chu Beichen fed the grass-eating and carnivorous animals in the yard separately, added water, and then slowly walked into the house.
"Su Nian, what are you doing?" Chu Beichen was very curious.
Su Nian excitedly showed him what was inside the stone. "Do these particles look like coarse wheat flour after they are crushed?"
Wheat flour and wheat flour are completely different things. Wheat flour is what is obtained by grinding the whole wheat grain. It contains a lot of bran, so it is rough and yellow in color.
Flour has to be peeled. The peeled skin is the bran, and the remaining part is the flour.
Chu Beichen looked at the contents of the stone, dipped his finger in some, and put it in his mouth to taste it. A look of delight appeared on his face. "Su Nian, this is wheat flour!"
Chu Beichen took the wooden hammer from Su Nian's hand and continued to hammer the particles.
It didn't take long before the two of them had enough wheat flour to make soup.
Su Nian added the wheat flour to the chicken soup and cooked it into a thick soup.
Now the two people's food mainly consists of meat and plant roots, but the eating habits they have developed over the years still make them eager to eat some grains.
The couple drank up all the rough soup, they thought it was so delicious.
After dinner, the two took out the white stone and studied it together.
But this time was different from before. Bai Shi seemed to have lost his spirituality and remained indifferent no matter how the two people thought about it.
Su Nian felt extremely discouraged. "This place is really weird. The golden sphere lost its function after sending us here, and now the white stone is useless too!"
Chu Beichen comforted his wife, "How do you know it's useless? We don't have to rush. We can wait and see. Besides, the children are living well in the other world. It doesn't matter if the two of us are left here!"
After hearing what her husband said, Su Nian didn't feel so sad anymore. Chu Beichen was right. No matter what, the two of them were still together in the end, which was better than being separated by force majeure.
Because they successfully processed coarse wheat flour, Su Nian and Chu Beichen specially found the bag of wheat grains and studied it.
They remembered clearly that this thing was given to them by an old man in exchange for a large broom.
In order to improve the utilization rate of Myla, Chu Beichen specially carried these things to consult the bearded village chief.
The bearded village chief was also shocked when he heard that wheat grains could be processed into delicious food. "Have you guys on the south bank of the Gangwa River already figured out how to use this stuff? You know, over the years, we've mostly used it to supplement nutrition for deer. Only the elderly and weak who can't hunt eat it!"
Chu Beichen nodded and attributed the matter to the high-tech on the south bank of the Gangwa River. "Yes, we've already started eating this stuff there. As long as we thresh and grind it, we can process it into delicious food!"
After discussion, the two people found that if they wanted to eat wheat grains, they had to make a stone mill.
"What's so easy? I'll get the stones and you can make them for us, okay?" The bearded village chief already treated Chu Beichen as a brother.
Chu Beichen agreed with a smile.
He knew the principle of the stone mill, and with someone willing to help, he quickly made two stone mills. Chu Beichen placed the large stone mill in the home of the bearded village chief for use by the entire village, and he also placed the smaller one in his own home.
With the stone mill, Su Nian and Chu Beichen quickly ground out wheat flour.
It was at this time that the people of Huodong Village realized that plant particles could also be delicious dishes.
Since Wall-E's grandfather couldn't hunt, his biggest hobby was collecting edible plant seeds. After he got the stone mill, the grandfather and grandson suddenly became the richest people in the village.
All of a sudden, the living standards of the whole village improved significantly.
Not only did everyone become clean and hygienic, but they were also able to use stone mills to process new ingredients.
The bearded village chief felt that all the changes in the village were thanks to Chu Beichen, so he trusted him more and more.
After observation, the witch doctor felt that the couple were trustworthy, so he let them go and allowed some villagers with minor illnesses to go to Su Nian for treatment.
Now the large amount of medicinal herbs that Su Nian exchanged came in handy.
She was already well versed in pathology and pharmacology, and with the help of acupuncture and herbs, she achieved almost 100% cure rate in her consultations.
Under such circumstances, Su Nian quickly collected enough prey as supplies for them to survive the winter.
There are fewer and fewer sunny days recently. People in the village say that the long, dark winter is coming.
The blizzards soon became more and more frequent, and they seemed never to tire. It felt as if there were many wild beasts crashing against the walls of the house. The house was shaking all the time, and low roars and roars often penetrated the house, like the chattering teeth of wild beasts.
In the interval of the snowstorm, Su Nian was invited by a villager to deliver the baby for his wife who was about to give birth.
In this village, the arrival of a newborn is a big event.
When Su Nian arrived at the villager's house, the bearded village chief and several capable villagers were also there. They were waiting there, ready to see if there was any unexpected situation that needed their help.
Su Nian had checked the fetal position for the mother long ago. At that time, everything was normal, so Su Nian was not too worried. But today, when she reached out her hand to touch it, her face changed color.
"Oh my god, why is this baby's position upside down?"
Originally it was head down, now it is feet down. How can I give birth?
Hearing Su Nian say this, the woman in labor also became nervous. Although she had never delivered a baby, she knew that giving birth for other women was like going through the gates of hell.
Especially the fetus with feet facing downwards that Su Nian mentioned is very difficult to give birth to, and even if it is born, it will most likely be stillbirth.
"What should I do? Su, please help me think of a solution," the woman in labor was also frightened.
"Can I perform a caesarean section on you now, cut open your belly and take the fetus out?" Su Nian looked up and stared into the eyes of the woman in labor. She didn't expect the woman to agree. After all, people in this era were still relatively timid and they had never seen the real power of medicine.
Although people in this era are relatively timid, the power of maternal love is still so great. To Su Nian's surprise, the woman in labor immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, as long as it can save my child's life, you can cut open my belly!"
