Han Chuxue hurriedly walked over as she said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luo Anyang was squatting by the bucket, and when he saw that she hadn't spoken, he smiled first, "Little Master, how do you know that this peanut can be used to extract oil?" Not to mention that this oil is much more fragrant than vegetable oil, and it is much better than lard. ”

Han Chuxue replied with a smile, "If you use it to cook vegetables, it will be much more fragrant than those two oils." ”

As she spoke, she had already walked in front of the barrel of oil, squatted down beside Luo Anyang, and looked closely, the oil was darker than the peanut oil she remembered, and there was some dregs precipitating at the bottom of the barrel.

Then she said, "Fetch another bucket and strain the oil." ”

Filtration?!

Master Luo and the others obviously didn't understand this word.

An old man dressed in a coarse cloth and a short beat asked curiously, "This girl, what is filtering?" ”

Han Chuxue touched her forehead, she forgot that this was ancient, some modern words, these ancients may not be able to understand.

"It's the slag, and the slag in the oil will affect the quality of the oil."

Oh, everyone finally figured it out, and Master Luo hurriedly ordered Steward Ye to get a clean wooden barrel and a piece of coarse-hole linen.

The old man who asked the question just now and Steward Ye started together, slowly pouring a bucket of oil into another bucket through the coarse-hole burlap, and when they were finally all poured, they lifted the burlap and looked at it, Luo Anyang immediately shouted excitedly.

"The color of this oil is really much brighter, little master, you are so powerful."

Old Madam Luo also smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this immortal disciple knows more things than ordinary people.

Mrs. Luo looked at the barrel of oil and said with a smile, "The oil squeezed out of this peanut is indeed more fragrant than vegetable oil, but it consumes peanuts too much." ”

The planting of peanuts is not comparable to rapeseed, rapeseed is planted after the autumn harvest, overwintering to the second year of March and April to harvest rapeseed to extract oil, completely miss spring ploughing, but peanuts are planted in March and April, until June and July can be harvested, that is to say, compared to rapeseed, peanuts are to occupy arable land, planted peanuts have to plant less grain, this gain and loss is really intriguing to calculate.

Han Chuxue frowned, "How many peanuts are used in this barrel of oil?" ”

The old man was supposed to be the one in charge of extracting the oil, so he answered the question, "Four liters of peanut kernels were used." ”

He is talking about these four liters is a measuring device, one liter is almost five catties, four liters is twenty catties, and this small barrel of oil, when the cold early snow is mentioned, it is more than four catties and less than five catties.

Stroking her chin, Han Chuxue silently recalled that she remembered that the aunts who went to buy peanut kernels to squeeze oil said that a pound of peanut kernels could squeeze out almost four taels of oil, and the amount of oil in front of her was obviously insufficient.

"Take me to see how you make the oil."

The old man immediately looked at Master Luo with some hesitation, obviously he had been warned before, and now he couldn't figure out the identity of Han Chuxue, so he naturally didn't dare to take people rashly.

Knowing what he was afraid of, Master Luo smiled with satisfaction, "This peanut can squeeze oil is the first thing that this cold girl discovered, and you don't need to avoid taboos in front of her." ”

The old man walked to a place in the backyard with the cold first snow.

The craftsmen were housed in a back courtyard, and in a large room they installed an earthen oil press, which is said to have been improved from a rapeseed oil press, and the oil was still being squeezed, next to several baskets of peanuts that had been oiled.

Obviously, in order to squeeze out the oil, the Luo family did not consume much this time, and they used a lot of peanuts alone.

Han Chuxue didn't go to the oil press, because she didn't understand it, but in the old man's explanation, she walked to the baskets of broken peanuts that were waste.

Reaching out and grabbing a handful, rubbing it, she frowned, this is definitely one of the reasons for the low oil yield, this peanut is not squeezed to the maximum extent at all.

"Did the debris get dirty?"

The old man couldn't understand why she didn't go to see the oil extraction, but instead cared about these useless peanut dregs, but seeing that Master Luo's family attached importance to her, he didn't dare to underestimate the little baby in front of him, and answered honestly.

"These baskets are all new, we have washed them, and as soon as the peanuts are squeezed, they are packed with this basket, so the scum is still clean."

Although they are craftsmen, they are also from poor backgrounds, and naturally have a habit of saving, even if they think that these peanut dregs can no longer be squeezed out of oil, but they also think that there should be other uses, so that they will not stain them.

Han Chuxue nodded reassuringly, "That's good, wait a minute, squeeze these peanut dregs again." ”

What the?

The people who followed her were surprised, and Luo Anyang asked curiously, "Little Master, what do you mean is that these peanut dregs can still be squeezed out of oil?" ”

Han Chuxue nodded affirmatively, "That's absolute, peanuts are not as good as rapeseed, it is an oil crop with a very high oil content, it is impossible to squeeze out all its oil only once, not only twice, as long as it is not squeezed to the point that some oil cannot be squeezed out, you can continue to squeeze." ”

As a technician, the old man understood a little, couldn't help but step forward, and also grabbed a handful of crushed foam peanut kernels just now like the cold and early snow, and sure enough, after a little rubbing, he felt wet and sticky with one hand, which was obviously oily.

The old man was excited, and shouted to the people on the other side of the oil press, "Come and move all these over and continue to squeeze." ”

Han Chuxue walked back to Master Luo and the others, and explained with a smile, "The oil yield of this peanut is actually quite high, and it is cheaper to cook vegetables than to use vegetable oil, and even if the peanut residue is all squeezed dry, it is still useful, and using them to make fertilizer is much better than ordinary grass ash fertilizer." ”

She remembered reading in a book before, the peanut dregs that have been squeezed can also be used to feed pigs, but they can't be fed more, otherwise they will have diarrhea if they eat too many pigs, thinking that the Luo family is not short of things to feed pigs, she didn't mention this stubble.

As for the fact that this peanut dregs can be used as fertilizer, it is not a secret in modern times, and the fertilizer made from peanut cakes is to raise flowers, plant trees, grow grass, and grow vegetables...... As long as it is a universal organic fertilizer that can be used for planting, with the Luo family's 10,000 acres of fertile land, such fertilizer should be more useful than pig feed.

Sure enough, Master Luo laughed when he heard this, and immediately told Steward Ye that after all these peanuts were squeezed out of oil, he must clean up all the slag.

At this time, the old man they have poured the peanut dregs that were supposed to be discarded into the earthen oil press, after a while, sure enough, there was oil flowing out, and after this trough was squeezed, they also got less than half a barrel of oil, although the amount was much less than the first squeezing, but it was not bad, if you squeezed a few more times, even if the amount of oil will be less and less, this adds up to nearly half a barrel of oil per four liters, and the amount of oil is undoubtedly greatly improved.

After looking at the oil output for a while, Han Chuxue pointed to the oil outlet and said, "You can think of a way to add a slag layer to the barrel below the oil here." (To be continued.) )
