Xiuniang, who didn't know what she was going to do, couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw that she actually let people peel all the peanuts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Erya, why did you peel all the peanut shells?"

The eldest girl was also a little puzzled, "Yes, little sister, peel all the peanuts, won't it be much lighter when you sell them?" ”

The Han family planted seventy acres of peanuts this year, and they roughly weighed it at noon just now, although the fertility of these wastelands is insufficient, but one acre of land can receive more than 400 catties of peanuts, and seventy acres is more than 2,000 catties and nearly 3,000 catties.

Han Chuxue smiled and pulled the two of them aside, and said in a low voice, "Mother, sister, this year, our family's peanuts have been sold in an unusual way. ”

Xiuniang and the two looked at each other, what do you mean?

"Then Erya (little sister) how do you want to sell it?"

Is it possible to sell peanut kernels?

But if you sell it like this, no one wants it if it's expensive, and if it's cheap, you'll lose money.

Han Chuxue smiled mysteriously at the two of them, "This year, we don't sell peanuts or peanut kernels, but peanut oil." ”

"Peanut oil?"

Xiuniang and the eldest girl said that the more they listened, the more they didn't understand, "What is this?" "I haven't heard of it.

Han Chuxue tried her best to explain simply and straightforwardly, "It's the oil that can cook vegetables, but this oil is not squeezed from fatty meat, nor from rapeseed, but from peanuts. ”

What?

Xiuniang and the eldest girl were all stunned, can this peanut still be squeezed for oil?

As the two generations of housecooks before and after the Han family, the two of them know how expensive this oil is, and if these peanuts can really be squeezed out of oil like rapeseed, how much it will be worth.

After being surprised, the two of them became excited, and they reached out to grab Han Chuxue's arm in unison, "Er Ya (little sister) What you said is true?" ”

Han Chuxue nodded affirmatively, "Of course it's true, I used to read in the book that the master asked me to read that this peanut can be used to extract oil, this morning when I harvested peanuts, I suddenly remembered this, so I went to the town to discuss with Master Luo, and also took a few peanuts to test it once, to make sure that it can really produce oil, the Luo family is now convening craftsmen to study how to extract oil from peanuts in large quantities, and when they study it, we will transport all these peanuts from our own home, and all of them will be squeezed into oil, mother, sister, think about it, this is not much more valuable than just selling peanuts." ”

Xiuniang and the others nodded when they heard it, of course this oil is much more valuable than peanuts, not to mention that it can be sold, but it can't be sold and kept for their own use, so I don't know how much oil money can be saved.

Well, the business sense of these two people is still quite weak, the first thing they think about is not whether they can make money, but whether they can use it, but this is also the idea of most rural women, after all, one of the biggest characteristics of the small-scale peasant economy is self-sufficiency, so the first thing most villagers think about is not whether they can sell for money, but whether they can meet their own needs.

This is also the reason why the people of several villages guard so many wild kudzu on Yuanbao Mountain, but no one thinks of digging it up and selling it to the restaurant to see if people are willing to accept it, because they have tried it themselves, and with their boring seasoning and cooking techniques, it is not delicious at all, and they can only eat it when there is really nothing to eat, so no one pays attention to it, and no one thinks of using it to make money.

Far from it, let's get down to business.

Hearing that peanuts can squeeze oil, Xiuniang's mother and daughter were ecstatic, and pulled Han Chuxue to ask one by one.

"Erya, did you ask Sister-in-law Ding to peel out the peanut kernels, is it because only peanut kernels are used for oil extraction?"

"Little sister, in addition to peeling off the shell, is there any other work that needs to be done first?"

Looking at the excited mother and daughter, Han Chuxue explained while comforting, "Mother, you are right, to squeeze oil, you can only use peanut kernels, not shells, sister, this problem, there is really a problem, first of all, the peanut kernels of this oil extraction can not be bad, nor can there be other dirty things, otherwise the whole pot of oil will be damaged, and I think it is better to fry and then squeeze the oil, this oil will be more fragrant." ”

Of course, these are not what she sees from books, but from modern times.

In the era in which she lived in her previous life, all kinds of black-hearted foods emerged in an endless stream, so that the citizens had many scruples, and the diet also began to return to the basics, the more natural the better, and even many people made their own hands, and even the oil began to be squeezed by themselves, and there was a small oil press shop in the market near the community where she used to live.

Every day when she went to buy vegetables, she could see a group of aunts sitting there, burying their heads in selecting peanut kernels, and then pouring them into the humble oil press to make earth-pressed peanut oil.

She was not interested in studying the composition of the oil press at the time, but she remembered that the peanut kernels were not sealed when they were poured in, and she could still see the inside, and she saw at that time that the peanuts were not pressed for oil at the beginning, but would be stir-fried in the machine, and when they were almost fried, everyone passing by could smell the fragrance before entering the next link.

She doesn't know what to do next, but it is still certain that peanuts should be peeled and selected before oil is extracted, and they must be fried.

Listening to her say yes, Xiuniang and the two would not doubt it, after all, since returning home from the cold and early snow, everything this little baby has done is right, so that the family has an inexplicable trust in her.

After making sure that peanuts can really squeeze oil, and knowing how to squeeze good oil, Xiuniang's mother and daughter couldn't stay idle, found a low stool, and sat down to peel peanuts together.

Han Chuxue naturally didn't sit on the side, and smiled and came over to help.

"Sister, your eyesight is good, don't peel the shell, or be responsible for selecting the peanut kernels that have been peeled out, those miscellaneous things must be picked out, and the bad ones can't be wanted, and then put them on, and when they want to use them, they will be washed and set aside."

The eldest sister is learning to weave, so it wouldn't be good if her hands were rough.

The eldest girl didn't expect this for a while, but she knew that this link was related to the quality of the oil, so she would not have an opinion, let alone think about it, so she hurriedly put down the shelled peanuts in her hand, washed her hands, poured the peeled peanut kernels into a dustpan, and carefully picked them up.

For the little girl's arrangement, Xiuniang was naturally happy to see it, seeing that Han Chuxue had opened the big girl, but she squatted over to peel peanuts, she was busy stopping, "Erya, you are young and have good eyes, and follow your sister to pick peanuts." ”

Although Aunt He didn't know what the mother and daughter were doing, she also smiled and said, "Madame is right, this peeling peanuts seems to be light, and it takes a long time to work hard. ”

Mrs. Ding smiled and said, "That is, our old women are not as good as young people, if we let us choose, it will be quite difficult, then the job is still suitable for girls." (To be continued.) )
