Yu Jin's cultivation and processing

Harvesting processing Before the winter solstice until the beginning of spring, the plants withered and harvested before germination. Before the excavation, the withered stems and leaves are cut, and then the deep excavation is carried out in sequence. Dig up the underground part, shake off the dirt, cut the roots, and process it. After the roots are washed with water, the boiled water is boiled in the pot for about 10-15 minutes. The roots of the nail file can be taken out without drying or drying. Drying temperature should not be too high, otherwise it is easy to crack. After drying, hit the sorghum in the bamboo basket.
Stem storage turmeric stems (also known as "Shantou") are generally excavated each winter and stored until early spring. If it is improperly stored, it will be susceptible to freezing or rot. It will seriously affect the species used for production. The storage method is as follows: Select pests with medium and intact heads that are free of pests and diseases, cut off their roots from the base with a knife, and do not wash. Put it in the sun for 1 to 2 days, and then put it in a bamboo basket, about 25kg per basket, choose a well-insulated and drier house, the floor with a brick pad 20cm high, several horizontal shelves 10 ~ 20cm in diameter The long wooden strips put bamboo baskets with taro one by one on the wooden strips. Generally only one layer is placed. If there is a large amount of time, the height should not be more than two layers (do not directly stack on the ground, otherwise the steamed bread will easily rot). During the storage period, once every two months, when the temperature drops below 5°C or when the relative humidity of the air is above 90%, the doors and windows should be closed tightly to keep the room warm and dry so that the steamed bread is not frozen or the humidity is too high. Big causes rot. If it is found that the bamboo basket has a fever in the center or a rot of a steamed bun, the steamed buns in the basket should be immediately poured out (sun) and the decayed buns should be removed to prevent the spread.
