Jiang De said hesitantly, "Seeing is believing, because the capital is enough, I have prepared three sets of equipment, and I don't know how to work hard, if the business is good, I will add it, anyway, there is a place." ”

It didn't take long for one hundred and fifty cakes to be ready, and Jiang De and the others also came to the most important place in the entire oil mill, the oil pressing center.

The oil extraction center is the largest, and the position is also in the middle, you can see that there are three huge logs inside, this wood is an excellent beam of wood at a glance, and now these giant trees that should be the beams of the house are placed diagonally, and there are three slightly thinner wooden mallets, with iron heads in front of them, hanging in the air with iron chains like battering rams, forming a T-shape with those giant trees.

Jiang De and others walked in together, Yue Fei and a few other teenagers looked at the huge trunk in front of them and couldn't help but wow, Jiang De introduced and said, "This is the thing used for oil extraction, this is called oil trough wood, the total length is more than five zhang, all of them are good pine wood, I'm afraid they are hundreds of years old, the most valuable thing in our oil mill is probably these three woods, the oil trough has been dug in it, and those oil embryo cakes are filled in these oil troughs."

Listening to Jiang De's introduction, Wang An and others hurriedly began to install it, one hundred and fifty oil cakes just filled the oil tank, leaving only a gap the size of a fist, Jiang De stepped forward, closed the oil tank, pointed to the trapezoidal wooden block placed on the ground and said, "This is the pile, our suspended mallet is used to hit the pile, come, let's try it!" As he spoke, Jiang De touched the gavel and said, "So who is coming from this first hit?" ”

Wang Ming stretched out his hand and said, "Then let Old Minister Zhou come." ”

Zhou Tong hurriedly said, "Brother Wang Xian contributed the most, I think it should be Brother Wang Xian." ”

Yue Fei said loudly: "Boy, look at this mallet is so long, why don't you come with a few outsiders and your father-in-law." ”

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Wow! Let's come along. Zhou Tong was in front, and the three members were outside and behind, and they worked hard together to push the mallet, and the mallet slammed into the pile, and the pile was slammed in, Zhou Tong and the three members added a huge force together, so that the giant wood moved, and Jiang De, who saw it, was startled, and hurriedly wrote down that he would reinforce the giant wood again.

The gavel struck again and again, and the cooperation of the four of them was getting better and better, and suddenly Yue Fei was heard shouting, "It's oily!" It's oily!! ”

Everyone heard the sound and looked, only to see that the bottom of the giant tree oil really came out of a thin wisp of pale yellow clear oil, this next week the same people are more motivated, Wang An in the giant wood side of the continuous addition of new piles, the oil is a very fine oil flow, slowly, the oil has come out like a fountain, Yue Fei and several teenagers who watched happily danced.

Maybe it's because the strength of Zhou Tong's four people is really big enough, or maybe it's other reasons, Jiang De originally expected to squeeze the oil for an hour, but it only took more than half an hour, and the oil had turned into a wisp of trickle, which was almost squeezed out.

Jiang De said, "Okay, everyone, sir, you can rest, this oil has been squeezed almost." ”

Zhou Tong let go of his hand, his hands were red due to the long period of exertion, he took a breath and said, "How much oil?" ”

Wang An looked at the vat filled with oil, estimated it for a while and said, "There are about fifty catties!" ”

Jiang De calculated for a moment and said, "A cake is two catties of beans, one hundred and fifty is three hundred catties, that is, the oil yield is one into six to one into seven, well, this oil is still dripping, it should be one into seven, and the oil yield is much higher than I imagined." ”

Wang Ming walked over, scooped up a spoonful of oil with a spoon and looked at it, only to see that the oil and water still had some foam and impurities, but he could also see that it was clear and bright.

Tang Wenzhong nodded and said, "Good oil, as long as this oil is left static for a few days, the impurities will sink, and it can be sold." ”

Zhou Tong sniffed it and nodded, "Although this oil doesn't smell as strong as sesame oil, this light also imprints that big sound, elephants are invisible, so I'm afraid the original flavor of many dishes will come out." ”

Jiang De clapped his hands and said, "Isn't it, this oil is the most suitable for stir-frying, by the way, Aunt Gao, is Aunt Gao here?" ”

Wang An hurriedly said, "Aunt Gao is here, she is waiting outside." ”

Jiang De hurriedly said, "Quick, take a small gourd of oil to her and cook for her, the iron pot should also be delivered, right?" Just use that iron pot to make it, what do you want to eat? I'll start by saying, I want a leek egg! ”

"I want to eat lamb!" Wang Gui shouted loudly.

"I want chicken!" Tang Huai also screamed.

"I want to eat fish!" Zhang Xian said not to be left behind.

Jiang De looked at Yue Fei, the only one who didn't speak, and asked, "Yue Fei, what about you?" ”

Yue Fei looked at Zhou Tong respectfully and said, "Let's ask my father-in-law first." ”

Zhou Tong looked at Yue Fei, who was so sensible, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't be restrained, child, just say it." The old man is old and eats the same thing."

Yue Fei swallowed his saliva and said, "I want to eat tofu." ”

Jiang De looked at the three members again, Wang Ming waved his hand and said, "Just have some of them." ”

Jiang De didn't let Wang An go directly, but took out his pen from his arms, brushed and wrote, Jiang De had already studied classical culture, coupled with Zhou Tong's teaching during this time, he had already written eight or nine traditional characters, and in fact, there were many simplified characters in ancient times, and the simplified characters of later generations were actually just the last step of the ancient simplified character movement.

Wang Gui saw that Jiang De was writing, so he leaned over and said while reading, "Cut the green onion from the middle, and then cut it diagonally into large sections." Cut the lamb into large slices, add minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt and sugar, and mix evenly. Put oil in a pan and heat the green onions... This is the recipe, Brother Jiang, you can still cook! ”

Jiang De smiled while writing, "Nonsense, what can't I do?" This stir-fry is actually very simple, but it is not easy to make it really delicious. When I'm done, you'll have a good taste. ”

Jiang De writes very quickly, these simple recipes are not complicated, if he is asked to write a nine-turn fat intestine, he can't write it, write a leek egg, then who wouldn't!

After Jiang De finished writing, he thought for a while and said, "Tang Huai, you take the recipe to find Aunt Gao and ask her to prepare the dish according to this recipe." Just go! ”

Tang Huai sighed, took the recipe and the oil pot and left, he is not stupid, this is close to the water and the moon first, can't he steal a few mouthfuls of food at that time?

Soon after Tang Huai left, the oil was completely gone, and Jiang De instructed Wang An to start dismantling the stakes and taking out the bean cakes. The bean cake had been pressed into a thin slice, and it was still oily, looking at the oil that fell on the ground, Yue Fei couldn't help but say with some distress, "Isn't there still this oil?" ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "It's too little, it can't be squeezed, these are soybean meal, and there is a lot of oil in it, which can be used to feed livestock, and can also be used to fertilize the field, and it will not be wasted." ”

Wang Ming immediately clapped his head and said, "Then we will not have less soybean meal in the future, second brother, third brother, I think we can let the villagers raise more pigs and sheep, and we can also pull them to the market to sell them in the future." ”

When Yue Fei heard that it was still useful, he was not so distressed, there was no way, he was really poor since he was a child. There has not been much oil and water in the stomach, and it is naturally a little distressing to see such a scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhou Lao Xianggong, Jiang Xiaolangjun, a total of 51 catties and three taels and seven coins, plus the one in Tang Xiaolang's hand, it should be 51 catties and eight taels and two coins." Wang An said to Jiang De and the others.

"More than 51 pounds, how much can it be sold for?" Wang Gui began to snap his fingers.

"If a pound is calculated according to eighty Wen, then it is 4 feet, if it is calculated according to one hundred Wen, it is 5 feet, our equipment land is not counted, just say beans, three hundred pounds is only 1,800 Wen, which can at least double the income!" Wang Ming's eyes were already full of copper coins.

"My mother, this is really going to make a lot of money!" Zhang Da touched his hand and looked at the oil press, where is this giant tree, this is simply a cash cow.

Even Zhou Tong couldn't help but keep touching his beard, touching it, and even pulling one off.

"Hehe, we have three sets of equipment here, if everything goes well, even if you only do 6 hours a day, you can make at least 20 trips, that is a thousand catties of oil, if we sell 80 wen a pound of oil, then it is only 80 yuan, and it is only more than 2,000 yuan a month, and it is more than 1,000 yuan to earn half of it, not much, not much." Jiang De shook his head and said, "And this oil is not so simple to sell, this oil is most suitable for stir-frying, now everyone will not, to suddenly accept a new oil, I'm afraid it will take time." ”

Wang Ming and the others nodded in agreement.

"By the way, how much principal do we have?" Jiang De asked Wang Ming.

Wang Ming replied, "We still have a small two thousand guan in our hands now, and this money is mainly spent on these three giant trees, this thing is really not cheap, one costs two or three hundred guan!" ”

Jiang De crooked his mouth, isn't this cheap? Such a giant tree is simply priceless in later generations, and it is only in ancient times that there will be such a giant tree, and even if it is in later generations, it is impossible to sell it, and it has been protected.

Jiang De asked again: "Which is the best restaurant in our county?" ”

Wang Ming gave a thumbs up and said, "Of course it's Dingxiang Building!" That's the largest restaurant in our Neihuang County, two floors smaller, it is said that it has been there since the time of the great grandfather, and it has been a hundred years now! ”

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "I went to eat this restaurant once, and it tastes really good." ”

Jiang De touched his head and asked, "In this case, the business of the restaurant is good?" ”

Zhang Da interjected, "That's it, that's one of the best restaurants in our country, whether it's food or wine, it's the best, and the taste is naturally good!" How? Xiao Langjun wants to eat and see? ”

Jiang De waved his hand and said, "Hey, I'll eat... I'm also interested, but it's not this, I think, we should open a restaurant, now we have soybean oil, I also know the secret of stir-frying, we can open a better restaurant than Fan Lou! That's right! I still have good wine, a few staff members, are you saying that you don't open a restaurant? ”

Tang Wenzhong touched his beard in embarrassment and said, "I understand what Xiao Langjun meant, Xiao Langjun wants to borrow the corpse to resurrect his soul and buy Dingxiang Mansion directly, right?" But this is not easy, the business of Ding Xianglou has always been good, and it will not be simply sold to others. ”

At this moment, a smell of vegetables wafted in, and Tang Huai walked in and said, "Sir, Daddy, the dishes are ready, go and use them, they taste good." ”

Wang Gui snorted: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that you had eaten it secretly." ”

Tang Huai stuck out his tongue, and did not argue, but ran out, Zhang Xian patted his leg and said, "Let's go quickly, otherwise this delicious food will be robbed by this kid." ”

Jiang De and Zhou Tong walked out slowly, only to see that a table had been set up outside, and Gao Yu was making dishes. Bursts of aroma wafted around.

"Hmmm! Fragrant! Gao Da Niang's craftsmanship has improved again. Zhang Da said praisefully.

Gao Yu blushed slightly and said, "This can't be meritorious, it's all taught by Jiang Xiaolangjun, the iron pot is also excellent, and the oil is good, so it's a good job." ”

"Haha, when I listen to it, Aunt Gao has no credit for herself, she is humble!" Wang Ming said with a smile and sat down with a few people.

Just look at a plate of leek eggs on the table, a plate of fried lamb with green onions, a plate of fried tofu with garlic, a plate of kung pao chicken, a plate of braised grass carp, a few plates of vegetables, and a big bowl of lean tofu soup.

"This is stir-fry?" Wang Gui asked curiously: "He has been listening to Jiang De nagging about this stir-fry in the past few days." ”

Jiang De was almost crying when he saw it, it had been more than a month, and he finally saw a plate of stir-fried vegetables from the future, he ate soup every day, and a bird was about to fade out of his mouth, but there was no chili pepper, and there was no chili pepper in his exchange items, not even a dried chili pepper, otherwise Jiang De would have to ask Gao Yu to make a spicy chicken dice for himself!

Zhou Tong first sandwiched a green onion fried mutton, smelled it, the aroma suddenly made his saliva secrete wildly, he was no longer polite, took a bite, the green onion completely covered up the smell of mutton, and the strange fragrance and the satisfaction of mutton made his tongue seem to be happy.

"Wow! Wow! Absolutely delicious, really absolutely delicious, today I know that mutton still has such a way to eat. Zhou Tong couldn't help but praise loudly.

Hearing Zhou Tong's praise, several other people also hurriedly eaten, and Yue Fei and others at the other table also began to put down chopsticks. After a bite, everyone fell silent.

Tang Wenzhong slowly put down his chopsticks, looked at Jiang De and said, "Xiao Langjun, if we don't open a restaurant, it will be a real loss!" ”

Zhang Da slapped the table and shouted, "It's so delicious!" Delicious! It's delicious! Saying that, he began to sweep frantically, Jiang De looked at it, this can be endured, and he also joined the sweeping team, Zhou Tong is a master of martial arts, and he is also a first-class master in grabbing vegetables, so that Wang Ming and Tang Wenzhong eat the least.

Everyone was eating and talking about their plans for the future, and no one was worried about whether the mill would make money, but now the question was how to make more money.
