Chapter 189 Starch Extraction



The tiny particles on the stone will grind away some of the taro residue.

Then place the stone in a container filled with water.

The taro residue on the rocks will gradually fall into the water and gather together.

Once you have collected enough, pour out the excess water.

After being dried for a period of time, the taro residue will form a starch ball.

In this way, the most important step in preparing the ingredients for making dumplings is complete.

After cleaning the stone, Ye Feng picked up a saw and began sawing the tree.

The tree trunk that we used to make syrup jars yesterday still has a long section of it.

He wanted to make a water storage container that was bigger than a syrup jar.

There are so many taro roots. A small jar definitely won't work.

More than an hour later, it was almost noon...

Liu Sisi and Fu Changxiong had already washed all twelve taro roots.

Five of them were peeled and cut into pieces.

Liu Sisi wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked up to Ye Feng…

"Brother Feng, we're done here."

Ye Feng did not reply. He swung his chisel a few more times and then stopped.

This wooden jar was the slowest and largest he had ever made.

The hole was less than 20 centimeters in diameter, but over 50 centimeters high. And he dug it very deep.

It feels like it could hold 20 kilograms of water.

This can no longer be called a wooden jar; it's a wooden barrel.

Ye Feng turned the wooden bucket over, and countless wood chips fell out.

He blew hard twice, then stuck his head into the hole to examine it carefully.

After discovering that it did not let in any light, he handed it to Fu Changxiong with satisfaction.

"Go wash it clean, then fill it with two-thirds water."

"Eh."

Fu Changxiong quickly ran out of the camp again, and after waiting for about 10 minutes, he actually returned with Qi Xiaojie.

Upon seeing Ye Feng, Qi Xiaojie strode forward with great speed, carrying several birds of different colors in his hand.

Without exception, all the birds had blood on their heads, clearly indicating that he had killed them by smashing them.

Qi Xiaojie's mouth was practically stretched to his ears...

"Feng...Brother Feng, look...what...what kind of bird is this?"

Ye Feng took a look and saw that, apart from the two common yellow-capped parrots, there were none.

There was also a bright green-winged parrot...

"If this were in China, you'd be in jail for at least three to five years just for these few birds you have."

Hi~

Qi Xiaojie didn't care at all...

"This...isn't...this isn't...back home, do their...meat...taste good?"

Ye Feng shook his head…

"You'll know once you eat it, anyway, parrots aren't poisonous."

You and Nobita go together to gut the bird, then mix it with rat meat, dried fish, and dried pork.

Also, chop up the leaves of the elephant leg tree and use them as minced meat.

Sisi poured out half of the saline solution and boiled it into salt.

"With so many good ingredients, it would be such a waste if they didn't have any flavor."

Liu Sisi's big eyes widened, clearly surprised.

"Brother Feng, saline solution is a medical supply, you're willing to use it?"

Ye Feng sneered:

"It's just for rinsing wounds, we have alcohol anyway, so we're not afraid of infection."

Since we're going to eat well, there can't be any shortcomings. Let's go now.

"OK!"

The three of them immediately dispersed and got back to work.

They were quite in agreement on the matter of eating dumplings.

My hands and feet have become much more nimble...

Ye Feng carried the bucket up to the treehouse and began extracting starch.

Since Liu Sisi was right next to him, he explained and demonstrated at the same time.

As planned, he leaned the two stones against his left hand.

At the same time, he picked up two pieces of taro, each about half the size of his palm, with his right hand.

Then, on the stone, apply slight pressure and rub from top to bottom.

A long, white strip of taro residue was stuck to it.

Ye Feng immediately grabbed a stone and put it in the bucket.

Some tiny floating objects slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

"oh!"

Liu Sisi, who was standing to the side, seemed to suddenly understand Ye Feng's thoughts, but then she looked embarrassed.

"Brother Feng, starch is starch, and flour is flour. They are different substances. Even if you can make it into a ball..."

But starch simply won't hold its shape. Even if you bake it dry, the dough will still be crumbly. How are you going to make dumplings?

Ye Feng merely glanced at her indifferently…

"Never mind that, it'll be your turn to do this job soon, this is all you have to do today."

If you do as I say, I guarantee you'll have dumplings tonight.

Although Liu Sisi had doubts, she still believed in Ye Feng's abilities.

Ye Feng gave her some instructions on the details, and then handed the job over to her completely.

While Fu Changxiong and his companion were processing the meat, he chopped down a tree.

After measuring it with a tape measure for a while, I sawed off a section and used it as a cutting board.

After the two finished processing all the meat, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon.

The camp was filled with the sounds of mincing meat and cheerful conversation.

Qi Xiaoyan was bored and saw that Liu Sisi was too busy, so she decided to help her scrape taro.

This job didn't require much physical exertion or involve any risks, so Ye Feng didn't stop him.

Fu Changxiong's injuries hadn't fully healed when he was put in charge of chopping minced meat.

For his physical condition, this is equivalent to maintaining good health.

Ye Feng and Qi Xiaojie continued to improve the treehouse.

The space is so small that you can bump into someone just by turning around.

The most difficult part, the treehouse frame, was completed yesterday. From now on, all we need to do is follow the plan and fill in the blanks according to the frame.

Everyone was busy and having a great time.

Despite the beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads, the group remained enthusiastic.

Compared to just a few days ago, when they were living a life of hardship and uncertainty in the jungle, this was a stark contrast.

My current situation is like paradise.

Having narrowly escaped death, they all deeply realized…

It is such a lucky and happy thing to be able to follow a strong leader who can make the right decisions at any time.

Perhaps this is the meaning of teamwork...

Several modern people living in civilized society want to...

They created dishes that were completely different from what is found here.

Just like when they built furnaces, smelted steel, and made arrowheads.

Everyone was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Effort always pays off, as time goes by little by little.

Their treehouse platform grew wider and wider, the taro paste in the buckets increased, and the minced meat had long since been minced under Fu Changxiong's double knives.

The tender pink flesh is paired with green elephant leg leaves and pale red begonia flowers.

If you didn't know that most of it was rat meat, it would actually look like a very filling.

After nearly two hours of work, Liu Sisi and her partner finally finished scraping all the taro chunks.

The taro residue almost completely filled the surface of the water.

Ye Feng then had them drain all the water and some large pieces of taro fiber.

Then knead the remaining dough into balls and let it air dry.
