Chapter 425: The Oil Is Out

The others listened to Mrs. Ding's words, and also laughed, Han Chuxue said that it was just a group of women's army, so they had to partner with the eldest girl. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before leaving, he reminded again, "Mother, don't peel those peanuts that are too tender, put them on the other side, and cook them when they are cleaned." ”

The peanut kernels that are too tender are not suitable for oil extraction, although she did not say it explicitly, Xiu Niang, who is used to farm work and housework, has guessed some of it, and said that she has collected so many peanuts, how should she cook some to let the children satisfy their hunger, so she smiled very happily, and then really put some of the still tender peanuts into a bamboo basket and put them up.

For the next few days, the people of the Han family circled around these dozens of acres of peanuts, during which Master Huang finally brought back a group of weavers.

The matter of linen cloth is also urgent, and Xiuniang's mother and daughter can only put down the peanut matter first and arrange to weave linen instead.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of places for the Han family to live now, and a group of weavers can easily settle down, and then there is the problem of weaving.

Because the front yard has to deal with peanuts, one is afraid that there will be more noisy people, affecting the work of the weaver girl, and the other is that there will be some dust, so as not to affect the quality of the linen, finally, the workplace is arranged in the inner courtyard, just right, the cold father several men are not there, the weaver girls in the inner yard to work is also convenient, to next year there will be no peanuts, so there is no need to worry about the future will not be arranged.

Just when the Han family was too busy to get along, the work in the village entered a moment of relaxation, because the rice of each family has entered the stage of drying grain, during this period, as long as the weather is good, it is not necessary for everyone to stay there all the time, just leave one person to watch their own rice, turn it over from time to time, so many people are idle.

So Lin Zi and other long-term workers returned in time, and with the addition of such a group of strong laborers, the seventy acres of peanuts were harvested a lot more quickly.

On the other hand, the women of Grandma Han, who originally helped spin yarn, were found by Xiuniang again, helping Weaver Niang to arrange the yarn, clean up the linen cloth and other hands-on work, so that the Weaver Niang only needs to weave with peace of mind, and the speed is naturally much faster.

And the eldest girl also found a group of her little sisters, who were lively and patient, and arranged to help pick peanuts in the front yard, and quietly and skillfully, arranged in the inner yard to help lay hands, and by the way learned how to weave.

This is also the idea that Han Chuxue came up with by chance, if a group of weavers are cultivated in this village, they will not need to invite people in the future, and the little girls in the village can also know more crafts, and they can have one more way to earn money in their future lives.

After Xiuniang and Grandma Han heard her idea, they agreed greatly, and as elders, they thought more far-reaching, the little girl was going to get married, so she might not be in the village, and if the little daughters-in-law who had just married were taught to ensure that Xiatang Village always had these weavers.

So Grandma Han came forward, and finally recruited a group of little daughters-in-law to come over, so that the Han family was lively.

In the field, a group of strong men are picking peanuts, a group of women in the front yard are peeling peanuts, and a group of little girls with good eyes are picking peanuts, while in the inner courtyard there is a group of daughters-in-law and weavers plus a few little girls weaving and learning to weave.

There were more people working, but the cold and early snow were idle again, so the head turned around again.

Squatting in front of a pile of already woven linen, she stroked her little chin and frowned slightly.

She has also worn linen in modern times, and the cool, breathable and somewhat flowing linen dress has always been very popular with young girls, but the color is a little different from the one in front of her.

She remembered that the modern linen dresses were a bit milky white, but the ones in front of her were yellowish.

"Master Liu, why are these linen cloths yellowish?"

Since the second lady proposed a new degumming method last time, the father and son of the Liu family have already looked at her first, seeing her idea of playing sackcloth, and immediately followed her, waiting for the second lady to have any new ideas.

Hearing her question at this time, Liu Guan intuitively felt that there must be an article in it.

Immediately said in detail, "Girl, the linen cloth that the old man has seen is all of this color, if the burlap is darker, the cloth should be harder." ”

Han Chuxue reached out and touched the fine linen cloth in front of him, not to mention, this feeling is really harder than what he has touched in modern times, this is ......

After pondering for a while, her eyes lit up, "It's a problem with degumming." ”

It's like a piece of soft hand paper, if it is stained with glue, that position will definitely be harder, and now these linen cloths are harder and darker than what they have touched in modern times, because the glue has not yet reached the most perfect state.

Liu Guan's father and son were shocked when they heard this, "Girl, what do you mean, can this hemp continue to be degummed?" ”

Han Chuxue nodded, "That's right, although the cloth we weave is much softer than burlap, it is still a little harder." ”

Liu Guan and his son were a little puzzled, "But linen cloth is relatively hard, so those dignitaries don't like to wear linen, and those soft silks are so valuable." ”

Linen cloth is therefore the cloth for the lower classes of people, because it is much coarser than silk.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Could it be that you still want to make the linen cloth as soft as silk, girl?" ”

This hemp is no better than silk, if you take off too much gum, this hemp will be ruined, let alone want to weave into cloth.

Han Chuxue nodded affirmatively, "That's for sure." ”

In modern times, linen is more popular than satin clothes, in addition to its better breathability and coolness, and its own lightness is also one of the reasons.

Of course, it is not easy to make modern craftsmanship in ancient times, so although I know how soft this linen cloth can be, and the color can be whiter, Han Chuxue, who is not from this professional background, is also at a loss for a while.

In the end, this research work was temporarily handed over to the Liu family father and son, anyway, they were also very interested in it, because there was no hemp in their hands, Han Chuxue simply went to the town to ask Jiao Guan to ask for a small batch of hemp back, and handed it over to the Liu family father and son for experiments.

As a result, I unexpectedly got good news, and the Luo family finally squeezed out peanut oil.

So she happily followed Jiao Steward to Luo's house, the Luo family didn't want to spread the news that peanuts can squeeze oil, so as not to let others steal the credit, so they have been doing experiments in the backyard of the Luo family, even those craftsmen are also trapped in the backyard, before the fact, none of them can think of going out.

When the cold and early snow arrived, a bunch of masters of the Luo family were also gathered in the backyard, looking at the bucket of golden oil in front of them, with a look of surprise and excitement.

Seeing the cold early snow, even Master Luo waved at her with some excitement, "Miss Han, come and take a look." (To be continued.) )
