181 Oil (three watches)
In the steaming pot, there is gradually a unique burnt smell of cottonseeds. Cheng Zhaoer was afraid that the frying was too much, so he beckoned Li to stop the fire, and even pulled out all the unburned firewood, but Cheng Changqing's stir-frying action did not stop!
Taking advantage of that residual heat, wait until the cottonseeds in the pot have been stir-fried several times, mixed with hot gas, poured into the trough and flattened, evacuated the hot air with rollers, and waited until it was completely cooled to sieve to remove the soil and impurities!
Then the sieved cotton seeds are evenly put into the stone mill, put on the donkey, and let the donkey pull the mill slowly.
With the rolling roller ring groove sprinkling water, grinding, while sprinkling water, while turning the seeds, so that the billet draft evenly, about a quarter of an hour, Cheng Zhaoer watched for a while, found that the billet can no longer form a ball, so he helped Cheng Changqing unload the donkey.
Until this time it was not over, pour the billet into the steaming bucket to be flattened, pour in an appropriate amount of water, so that Li Shi burned the fire and steamed.
Li Shi said with a smile while lighting the fire: "Your method is not to say that the people who learned to make rapeseed oil, if we don't make cottonseed oil, we can make rapeseed oil!" Although they said so, Cheng Changqing and Cheng Zhao'er both knew that they were just talking. Where would anyone make rapeseed oil in a place where canola can't grow?
This is just a comfort for Li to give his daughter because he was afraid that the cottonseed oil would not come out in the end.
Cheng Changqing heard the meaning, and also glanced at Cheng Zhao'er, and also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I took a look at the price of cottonseed oil in your Uncle Feng's grain and oil shop the day before yesterday. It's worth more than the lard we eat! "Uncle Feng is the one who helped the Cheng family bring rapeseed oil tools and told Cheng Zhao'er how to press rapeseed oil.
Cheng Zhao'er was a little nervous in her heart, just because there was no result in this matter yet, but it didn't mean that she couldn't bear the result of failure, at most, she would go back and try more, even if there were problems with the number of various proportions, it would take more time!
However, seeing that the Li family looked afraid of her disappointment, and Cheng Changqing was the same, she was not easy, and only smiled: "When the time comes, we will still be together as a family!" ”
The husband and wife smiled and nodded!
Laughing and talking. Quickly disperse the flour and wrap the cake. The action should be fast, and the packaging should be flat and tight, in order to prevent the heat loss in the billet.
Then it's time to press.
Cheng Zhaoer's family has been busy all afternoon, and now the sun is setting. The bolt and the round round are tired of playing. I've been home for a long time. Now the two of them are lying on the bed and falling asleep! Look at the sky, at this time, Cheng Rongrui and Cheng Ronggeng are about to come back.
Cheng Zhao'er's hand sped up. It's time to make dinner.
Gravity pressing is to use a kind of wooden board hanging with large stones, with a wheel axle-like thing from both sides to the middle, using this extrusion principle, to press out the oil in the cottonseed.
At first, it seemed that the cottonseed cake did not produce oil, but no matter how you pressed it, no oil escaped.
Cheng Zhaoer's heart tightened, could it be that this time it was unsuccessful, something went wrong, whether the flour was not steamed, or the cake was not thick enough!
Thinking like this, her mind spun rapidly, and in an instant, she had gone through the steps in her mind, if this was the case, it meant that the amount of cottonseed oil was different from that of rapeseed oil, and it seemed that it would have to be adjusted.
Is it better to make this bag of bread thinner?
When she was spinning her thoughts in her head, she only heard Cheng Changqing shouting in surprise: "It's oil, it's oil!" ”
Cheng Zhao'er looked down, the light yellow oil escaped from it abundantly, dripping into the wooden barrel they placed, gradually more and more oil, gradually dripping into a line, until about seven or eight minutes later, the oil line was broken and became ticking.
The Cheng family knew that this was a sign of the end, so they waited patiently.
When the oil is basically gone, the family quickly changes to the next one! And so on!
By the time the twilight was about to get dark and the yellowish lights were lit up in front of the windows of every house outside, Cheng Zhaoer had already tossed out a bucket of cottonseed oil.
Although it is crude cottonseed oil, the color is good, the yellowish color and the candlelight at home reflect each other, with the white porcelain bowl that Cheng Zhaoer took out, the oil bowl reflects each other, and the golden light flashes slightly.
However, there is a lot of sediment at the bottom of the barrel, which is visible to the naked eye through the oil on it!
Li Shi said regretfully: "Although this oil looks a little turbid, it is no different from the old and expensive rapeseed oil that is sold, not to mention that there is no unpleasant green smell, is it really not to be eaten?" Li didn't understand these things at all, although she knew some of Cheng Zhaoer's strange experiences, but she was also afraid that the children would be ignorant and spoil things.
Cheng Changqing waved his hand: "What are you talking about, Zhao'er can still mess with things." This thing looks good, but maybe it's poisonous! ”
Cheng Zhaoer nodded, didn't say anything, isn't it poisonous?
Put away the tools and stuff, put the cotton oil out of the reach of the children, and the remaining cottonseed cake after squeezing the oil is a good feed, Cheng Zhaoer is reluctant to throw it away!
woke up the two children, and it happened that Cheng Rongfeng and Cheng Rongnian also came back, and the family was busy eating dinner.
At night, Cheng Changqing, as usual, sat in the hall to make furniture, Li coaxed the two children to sleep, and Cheng Rongfeng and Cheng Rongnian reviewed the endorsement homework left by the master in their own room, and then wrote a few big characters.
Cheng Zhao'er looked at the vacancy, walked to the hall and said to Cheng Changqing: "Dad, grandparents are not in good health, do you want to accompany your mother to have a look!" ”
Cheng Changqing didn't care at first, thinking it was ordinary gossip, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with a bamboo bedside table in his hand, and said casually: "I want to go and see, wait for your eldest brother to come back together, your eldest brother hasn't been to see his grandparents for a long time!" ”
Cheng Zhao'er paused and said directly: "Don't wait for the eldest brother, you can go tomorrow and stay for a few more days!" ”
At this moment, Cheng Changqing felt that something was wrong, he raised his head and wondered, "Why?" ”
Cheng Zhaoer doesn't hide it, and there is no need to hide it, even if he hides it this time, he won't know when Cheng Changqing comes back. What's more, Cheng Changqing's consent must be obtained for this matter, because these people are Cheng Changqing's closest relatives, if she makes her own opinion, it will be detrimental to their father-daughter relationship!
So he hid the key point and said vaguely: "Hasn't Dad been bothered by the three hundred taels of silver that the Zhao family wanted?" My daughter happens to be free, so let's help my father solve it, but I have to pay some silver, but I pay this silver in exchange for one of their weaknesses in my hands, Dad, do you do this business? ”
Cheng Changqing stared at Cheng Zhao'er for a long time, gradually stretched his brows, he lowered his head and continued to tinker with the bedside table in his hand, as if gossiping: "Do!" Of course you do! (To be continued......)
