Transcripts

play00:03

We are in the southern part of Cantabria, in the municipality of Valdeprado, a

play00:08

mountain area crossed by the Polla River that joins the Ebro in its upper section.

play00:12

There, one of the old flour mills of Cantabria is still active.

play00:20

The Arcera mill has the most important element that any hydraulic device needs: water.

play00:27

Víctor López and Concepción Ruiz, "Conce" as she is called by friends, are the owners

play00:33

of this unique building that the neighbors called "the factory".

play00:40

Among lush and varied vegetation, this family has everything they need

play00:44

for their self-sufficiency.

play00:46

The trees provide firewood that will be used for heating in the winter and for cooking.

play00:55

The pigs eat potatoes, cabbage and beets, all from the garden, of course.

play01:02

We cook it for them to eat it better, but their work pays off, of course.

play01:07

And then I add the flour, which is ground barley, as we have the mill, well, we do it.

play01:18

All good.

play01:20

Conce prepares the pasture with which she takes care of two large pigs daily, because as she

play01:25

says, the quality of the meat depends on what the animal eats.

play01:29

After their slaughter in the winter, they will obtain good hams, sausages and other

play01:35

meat products for the whole year.

play01:40

Normally, Conce also takes care of the animals.

play01:44

In addition to the two pigs, he has rabbits and chickens.

play01:47

Every day, despite the dangers they run, she takes her hens out to peck

play01:52

worms in the meadow and feed on the salvau that she prepares for them.

play01:59

It tastes better, and in the fields, and we already have to be very aware of them, the fox arrives right

play02:07

here, the other day the fox brings us the hens and the kite and that, but

play02:11

it shows a lot in the color of the yolks in the taste of the eggs, when the hen grazes.

play02:16

With this same food, made given, eggs are not like that.

play02:21

The chicken likes to search, it likes to run, sometimes it runs after a butterfly and

play02:28

eats it, and those things, of course.

play02:30

To the shower...

play02:32

Conce treats her animals with love, takes care of them, takes them for walks.

play02:37

Pigs appreciate going out to the meadow for a while every day to wallow in their

play02:41

favorite pond and remove the parasites that attach to their skin.

play02:50

The animals and the garden give these millers all the resources they need.

play02:56

Braiding the onions, which we later bring into the house and hang them up and they keep better.

play03:05

We sow these, we plant them, back in May and by dint of irrigation and that, we take them

play03:13

out and later, they are worth us for the whole year.

play03:19

At the foot of the mill building, Víctor has a small, well-watered garden where he plants

play03:24

his carrots, cabbage, onions, lettuce,... and other horticultural products, both for

play03:30

himself and for the animals.

play03:36

The potatoes are also lovingly grown in the old Arcera mill, where

play03:40

this family has spent their entire lives.

play03:43

His four children were born here, who today live outside the area for work reasons, but

play03:48

who often return to their origins.

play03:55

One of these for you and me, fried with an egg, will taste like donuts.

play04:05

This weekend one of the sons has come and Víctor takes advantage of his help to dismantle

play04:10

all the elements of the mill, since he has to break the stones.

play04:15

After removing the hopper and the dust cover, the miller collects all the flour that has remained

play04:20

between the two millstones.

play04:25

The winch is a simple contraption in the form of a crane.

play04:29

The iron crescent moon hangs from it, to which the mobile stone is hooked with two bolts.

play04:38

With the turn of the spindle, the stone is separated from the gear and can be moved to an improvised bench.

play04:50

There, set the stone with its inner face up.

play05:00

The tool that the miller needs to chop the stones is the pot of spades, whose

play05:06

fine and elongated cut adapts perfectly to the grooves on the surface.

play05:14

To chop the spokes, which are the widest channels, Victor uses the pick pot.

play05:20

With a continuous pounding he achieves the roughing of the channel and the center of the stone, which he

play05:25

will later go over with the spade pot.

play05:30

Depending on the amount of work that the mill does, the miller should go over

play05:34

the wheels every half year or so.

play05:37

The quality of the flour obtained during milling depends on the roughness of the

play05:42

radii and the striations of the stone.

play05:46

When the surfaces in contact are smoothed by friction, the grain is ground with greater difficulty.

play05:55

The crushing of the fixed stone or "bajera" is done in the same way as that of the mobile or countertop.

play06:04

Víctor has prepared the surface of the stones to work for another six months.

play06:10

To lift the more than 500 kilos that the milling stones usually weigh, obtained in

play06:15

the Brañosera quarry, the miller uses the winch again.

play06:20

Now, for the placement of the stone, they pay special attention to the adjustment of

play06:26

the pin axis, which is the one that transmits the movement to the countertop stone.

play06:33

We call this the bed.

play06:35

The stone bed we call it.

play06:38

And this one, when walking, throws it here so that it is stuffed so that it comes out when it is grinding.

play06:48

The dust cover or drum prevents the flour from being thrown uncontrollably out of

play06:53

the stones during grinding.

play06:58

With the assembly of the hopper, the mill has been prepared to grind the grain.

play07:03

Fortunately, with his skill, Victor hasn't shattered the stone during the dive.

play07:08

In case of rupture, the broken piece would have been replaced with dried figs.

play07:15

And then, to fill that hole it has, to avoid that, it was arranged with mashed

play07:22

figs, well mashed figs, you put them there, you made a shell on top of that paste and that didn't go away.

play07:32

If, for example, you put plaster, that would go away immediately.

play07:38

Before grinding the wheat to make bread, the miller passes it through the cleaner, which

play07:43

is a machine made up of a cylinder with holes, into which the grain falls in doses.

play07:49

A fan, located in the top drawer, produces the necessary air

play07:54

to separate dust and lighter dirt.

play07:58

The clean grain falls down the inclined surface and is collected in a sack.

play08:05

The cleaning of the grain was only done with the wheat, since the other cereals were destined

play08:10

for cattle feed.

play08:12

When the grain is already clean, the miller pours it into the hopper and releases the water that

play08:17

puts the entire grinding system into operation.

play08:25

The pressure of the water, which goes down piped, prints a rotation movement to the impeller or rodezno

play08:31

that, through a central axis, is transmitted to the top stone of the mill.

play08:38

The grain in the hopper falls in doses between the two stones, due to the vibration transmitted

play08:43

by the grooves of the shaft.

play08:46

When the wheat is between them, its tendency is to come out through the spokes, but the

play08:51

movement of the worktop crushes it into flour, which in turn is crumbled by the grooves.

play09:00

The ground flour is ejected from the end of the spokes, and is collected in the drawer.

play09:08

Until the hopper is emptied, the miller can do other work, but he must ensure

play09:13

that the stones do not run out of grain, because the flour would burn and the friction between them would wear out the surfaces.

play09:23

A small device with a bell alerts you when the grain left in the hopper is going to run out.

play09:32

Since Víctor does not need any more flour to make the bread he needs in the next few

play09:37

days, when the grain in the hopper runs out, he stops the grinding system.

play09:46

The flour is ready to make the bread, but first you have to pass it through the

play09:51

sieve or sieve to separate the bran.

play09:56

Víctor takes the flour to the sifter, which also works with the driving force of water.

play10:01

The product resulting from the milling falls into a large horizontal container, made

play10:06

up of a dense mesh, which only lets out the fine flour, separating the bran.

play10:13

The two products obtained are separated inside and go through augers to two different bags.

play10:18

The flour will be used to make bread and the bran as animal feed.

play10:28

This family of millers, as they have done all their lives, grind their own

play10:33

wheat every week to make the bread they will need for the whole week.

play10:38

Conce handles this task in the small oven, starting by heating the water she

play10:43

needs to prepare the dough.

play10:48

Moving the sieve over two slats or sifters, Conce sifts the flour over the trough and separates

play10:54

the bran to use as food for the pigs.

play11:01

Now we are going to introduce the yeast, which consists of a piece of dough that is left from

play11:11

the previous time, which is called "recent", and then, the day before making the bread, it must be made larger.

play11:23

I'm going to collect the water so that it breaks down the salt.

play11:30

To better distribute the salt throughout the dough, Conce leaves it in a container of hot water

play11:35

to dissolve.

play11:38

Well, to undo the yeast.

play11:42

Push hard, push hard.

play11:46

And to catch more.

play11:49

It's time to knead.

play11:51

The yeast is already in the trough and you have to mix it with the flour.

play11:54

While her daughter pours the hot water with the dissolved salt little by little, Conce

play12:00

mixes the flour, yeast, salt and water dough vigorously, giving it the precise point so that it does not stick.

play12:09

For this task, strength is needed in the arms, since the dough is very heavy and hard to work with

play12:15

until all the ingredients are well combined.

play12:18

Well, you can see that it is compact and you just have to work it like that.

play12:26

It is already compact, everything is well united, the salt, everything.

play12:36

This is called the masera.

play12:38

cover it up

play12:41

Because the saying goes that the mass and the child, in summer it is cold, and you have to dress it well.

play12:55

To sleep here, honey.

play13:01

Well, now we have to bless him: In the name of the father, of the son, of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

play13:10

A) Yes.

play13:11

To sleep here for three hours, you have to sleep.

play13:19

Now you will have to leave the dough for about three hours, well covered with the maseras, so

play13:24

that the yeast ferments.

play13:26

It is the same dough that will indicate the moment in which you can start making the breads.

play13:31

So that the dough does not spread.

play13:33

So that the dough does not spread, it sticks there, and then, to see the process when it is raised.

play13:41

When the dough is here, it has to be raised.

play13:44

Now it's down and then it'll be up.

play13:52

Conce lights the oven with the bushes and firewood provided by the surroundings of the mill.

play13:58

Well, the best of this is hawthorn, which is better for fire and is the best firewood for cooking, hawthorn.

play14:12

While the dough increases in size due to the action of the yeast, during this

play14:17

waiting time, the oven will reach the ideal temperature for baking.

play14:21

The oven has to be white.

play14:22

Now you turn it on and it stays completely black, and when it's hot the oven has to be completely white.

play14:30

To raise the temperature, Conce keeps adding firewood that produces a lot of flame until the

play14:35

interior of the vault turns white.

play14:39

When three hours have passed, the dough has already fermented, and since it is soft, it has stuck to the masera.

play14:46

Conce knows that this is not a bad thing since she has spent almost all her life making bread for the family.

play14:51

When I was 14 years old, I started making bread.

play14:56

Well, from my mother.

play14:58

There were many of us at home and we were 12, my father was the only son, we were nine siblings so we

play15:09

had to make a lot of bread.

play15:11

Many years we were at home twelve.

play15:15

The children, my parents and the paternal grandmother, who died at the age of 95.

play15:23

The amount of dough he takes for each loaf is measured by eye, since he does not need to give an

play15:28

exact weight to the pieces, as happens to bakers.

play15:32

Now I'm trimming it, it's called trimming, trimming the bread, and look, now I'm closing

play15:38

the bread, now I'm closing it.

play15:41

This is going to be the bottom of the bread, like this, this is the face, and it stays at the bottom

play15:49

and at the time of putting it in the oven it is turned over, at the time of putting it in the oven it is

play15:54

the bottom face that is on top, that's the one on the right.

play15:58

To wrap the bread.

play16:01

The mass and the child in summer is cold.

play16:03

The child must be clothed in summer and in everything.

play16:06

A) Yes.

play16:12

Although in each batch she usually makes 24 loaves, today she is not going to make that many, but she will prepare

play16:17

some "thin" ones and some pieces of traditional pastry.

play16:22

We are going to make the thin ones, they are some that are smeared with oil and put in the first ones.

play16:30

Well, let's do it, I'm going to make the loaves, some thin ones, I'm going to make an Easter

play16:37

cake and a sobao, which has butter, egg and sugar.

play16:54

With the last portion of dough, Conce is going to prepare an Easter donut filled with

play16:59

home-made ingredients, which is traditionally eaten as revenge for the

play17:04

abstinence days of Lent.

play17:06

Homemade, all homemade.

play17:09

The pigs have not eaten anything artificial.

play17:13

Collard greens, potatoes, spiced over here.

play17:17

Chorizo, loin and streak bacon.

play17:25

I put this...

play17:34

Well, now, covered too, like this.

play17:36

Well, here I am going to make the piece of dough that I leave for the next time it cooks.

play17:41

Now I keep it here in the clay pot, and the day before I make the bread again, make

the yeast to bake it like I did yesterday, the day before it has to be done.

play17:52

This is the recent, for when it cooks another day.

play18:01

Well, sweep the oven with the chamariscos.

play18:04

So that the embers do not stick to the bread.

play18:07

The oven has now reached the ideal temperature for baking bread.

play18:12

Víctor "rescoda" the solero with a broom made with "chamariscos" and Conce, later,

play18:19

sweeps it with some damp rags.

play18:22

Well, to sweep the oven.

play18:24

The chamariscos are used for the biggest embers, and this, even better, for the caniza.

play18:33

And the saying goes that due to a badly swept oven there is never lost bread.

play18:45

I am going to put the luminary, to have the flame and it is seen to make the bread.

play18:52

And I cover the oven a little so that the bravery goes down.

play19:00

I leave it there while I prepare the thin ones.

play19:09

The first pieces that Víctor introduces in the oven are the "thin" ones.

play19:12

On the shovel, sprinkled with flour, Conce places the dough and adds a splash of oil on top.

play19:28

Then, all that remains is to wait and control the action of the heat, which will be very fast,

play19:34

since the "thin" ones require little cooking time because they contain little dough.

play19:45

The "thin" ones have been cooked and they must be removed from the oven quickly so that they do not lose the

play19:49

heat that is needed to bake the bread.

play19:58

To put the loaves.

play20:03

Without stopping the activity, this couple introduces the loaves in the oven, cutting

play20:07

a circle on the upper side with the knife.

play20:11

The process is identical to that of cooking the "thin", only the loaves will need

play20:15

more time in the oven.

play20:21

Within a few minutes, the pieces are cooked and must be removed from the oven.

play20:26

From the sound, Conce knows if the bread is ready.

play20:38

When you hit him like this he makes bread, bread...

play20:44

look.

play20:45

Pam, pam...

play20:49

The batch has gone well, as always.

play20:51

This self-sufficient couple will have bread for a few days and there will still be enough left over for their

play20:56

children to take to the capital

play21:03

As long as the Polla River continues to give them water to move the stones and irrigate their orchards,

play21:08

this couple will remain here, in this old mill where they Victor's grandfather was a servant.

play21:15

Today, the children, although they live in the city, are interested in conserving and maintaining the

play21:21

centenary Arcera mill, in which a whole family history has passed, which is theirs.
