Chapter Ninety-Three: The Oil Mill

Li Xin stayed in the Zhuangzi for two days, and then watched the people in the Zhuangzi collect rape and peas. The crowds were quick to reap, and some of them took away, while others led the oxen and ploughed out the ground.

The affairs of Zhuangzi, Wang Fu and his wife arranged it very well, and Li Xin didn't have to watch it all day long. Two days later, Li Xin took Wang's sister-in-law to the town of Baihua Town.

Baihua Town is also a relatively lively town, with many shops on the streets and pedestrians coming and going, although it is not a market, it is still very lively. Although Baihua Town is lively, it is not very large, so there is only one oil mill in the town. The scale of the oil mill is not very large, because all along, the people still use more animal oil, and the business of the oil mill is not good, and it has always been a bit bleak.

With Wang's sister-in-law to guide the way, Li Xin soon found the location of the oil mill. When you are close to the oil mill, you can smell the fragrance coming from the oil mill, and before the oil is pressed, the raw materials are generally fried, so it is very fragrant.

The lower part of the oil mill is a little remote, but it does not prevent those who want to buy oil from finding the oil mill. The oil fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys!

When I entered the oil mill, I found that there was a counter on the outermost, the counter was not large, and it looked very old. Fortunately, it was still clean, and there was no oil stain everywhere because of the sale of oil. The king's sister-in-law went up and shouted, and a woman answered and walked out.

"Do you want to buy oil?" The woman wiped her hands on her apron and beckoned Li Xin and the others.

"I don't buy oil, I heard that you plan to buy the oil mill, I'll come and have a look." Li Xin directly explained the intention.

"Let's take a look inside!" The woman led the way in front and led Li Xin and the others inside. There is a curtain hanging on one side of the counter, and after entering through the curtain, you can walk a few steps to the place where the oil is extracted. A few guys are busy in an orderly manner, in this era, oil extraction is more tiring, and there are many steps.

Li Xin looked carefully, the scale of this oil mill is not large, and the area used is also small. It's a little small, but now, I can't take care of it. She really needs an oil mill, after all, the rape is about to be harvested.

In this era, the so-called skills are passed down from generation to generation and are not known to outsiders. Therefore, the technology of oil extraction is also mastered by a small number of people, and outsiders have no place to learn if they want to learn. Li Xin didn't know the specific steps of oil extraction, and she was still like this in her previous life, and she didn't know how to use these ancient methods in ancient times.

Therefore, if you want to extract your own oil, the best way is to buy an oil mill, and it is best to be able to hire even the guys in it.

After looking inside the oil mill, the woman led Li Xin and the others to sit in the back. There is also a small yard at the back of the oil mill. A small courtyard and a slippery house are where the owner of the oil mill lived. And the person who has been guiding Li Xin and a few people is the proprietress of the oil mill, and the owner of the oil mill is also squeezing oil with a few guys in front, knowing that Li Xin and the others are interested in buying the oil mill, so they stopped first and came to the back to entertain.

The proprietress of the oil mill untied her dirty apron, went to make tea, and picked up two plates of snacks.

"How does Miss Li look at this oil mill?" The proprietress asked while pouring tea for Li Xin.

"Everything else is fine, but it's a little small."

"Does Miss Li plan to open an oil mill when she bought it? I think that since Miss Li has arrived here, she also knows the situation in the oil mill. ”

"Yes, this oil mill doesn't have much business on weekdays! That's why you're going to sell the mills. I do plan to buy it and continue to open the oil mill, but I hope to buy all the oil extraction equipment in the oil mill, and it would be better if the guy could continue to stay. I wonder what you two think? ”

"If the price given by Miss Li is right, those utensils can also be bought. But we don't forget about the guys, after all, they are all hired from the surrounding villages, and their stay is only decided by themselves. The family is having a hard time, and if Miss Li gives the right salary, she is willing to stay. The proprietress smiled and agreed.

After some negotiations, Li Xin and the proprietress of the oil mill also agreed on the price of the oil mill, and found the town's tooth to sign a contract. Li Xin handed over some money to Ya Yu and asked Ya Yu to help him go to the Yamen to get an official contract.

Li Xin asked the proprietress of the oil mill to help ask the guys, and the guys all came out to do the work, as long as the wages were fair, naturally it was the same where they worked. Li Xin's salary is even higher than before, and those guys are naturally willing to stay.

After buying the oil mill and telling the original owner of the oil mill about the official handover time, Li Xin went back to Zhuangzi first. The oil mill has been open, but now it has suddenly changed hands, and there are still a lot of things to deal with. Moreover, the original owner of the oil mill lived in this oil mill, and it naturally took a lot of time to move.

Now, the rape has just been harvested, and Li Xin is not in a hurry. It's good to just let the kuài move, but don't rush.

Since it is a transaction, Li Xin also has some understanding of the original owner of the oil mill. The owner's surname is Yang, named Yang Zhu, Yang Zhu's grandfather fled from outside, and was later recruited by a family in the village, that is, Yang Zhu's grandmother's family. This family has some family background, and Yang Zhu's grandfather used to be a partner in an oil mill and has a good skill in squeezing oil.

At the beginning, he squeezed oil in the village, and gradually gained some fame, so he opened this oil mill in the town. People use animal oil more, the sales of vegetable oil is not very large, at the beginning, the business of this oil mill is still very good, otherwise it will not be passed on to this day. Later, two large oil mills were opened in the county, and the grocery stores in the town would also have oil in the county. Such a small oil mill with a small capital is gradually unable to open.

Yang Zhu's family also planned to sell the oil mill, still moved back to the village to live, and could also use the money obtained from the oil mill to buy some land. The Yang family still has a house in the village, and it will not be without a place to live when they move away from the oil mill.

After buying the oil mill, the guys in the oil mill were willing to stay, and Li Xin was also relieved. Although you can also find a large oil mill to help squeeze oil, but there is a lot of rapeseed to be harvested, and the amount of oil will be very large, so it is always not so convenient to find others. If you have your own oil mill, it is still much better, not to mention others, that is, the quality of the oil can be guaranteed
