Speaking of extracting vegetable oil, there are more than 2,000 years of history and experience in the world where Surin was originally located, and the internal structure of the original oil press is not complicated.

In addition, the volume of several cups will be reduced on the basis of the original, which not only saves materials, but also makes it more convenient in terms of production and use.

When Su Lin and his father were in Yunnan to inspect Pu'er, by chance, they were fortunate to see an oil press used to squeeze tea oil unearthed, so Su Lin and his friends were bored to make a model.

In terms of making oil presses, Su Lin can be said to be born and cooked twice, and there is no pressure.

That said, it is difficult to make an oil press in a world where tools are scarce, after all, it is very difficult to make this kind of machinery.

"That's it." After spending a whole afternoon, Su Lin grinned and looked at the two rough oil presses in front of him with satisfaction, "Haha, God favors me Su Linye!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Shi and Fang's mother walked in, looked at Su Lin who was laughing wildly in disbelief, frowned and said, "What makes Lin Er so happy?" ”

It's no wonder that Fang's mother is suspicious, since Su Lin hit him in the yamen, he feels like a different person, if he said that Su Lin was a low-key nerd who was afraid of things in the past, now he is full of confidence, and occasionally he will say some strange things, such as "I'm rough"...

As an aunt who raised her, how can she not care? If you get crazy, then what's the point?

"Auntie." Seeing Fang's mother, Su Lin shouted, and then ran over and took Fang's mother's hand, "Auntie, nephew will show you something good." ”

Looking at the two half-human-sized wooden bumps suspiciously, Fang Mu asked, "What is this?" ”

"The oil press is a kind of machine that can squeeze oil and eat!" Su Lin introduced with his teeth and claws.

When Fang Mu heard such a description, she was even more confused, and then a trace of disappointment appeared on her face: "What machine?" Could it be that it is Lu Ban's learning, you are a Confucian and Mencian student, what are you doing with these strange and ingenious skills? ”

The Su family has always been a scholarly family, respecting the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they look down on these strange and obscene skills, although the Su family and the Su family are down, but Fang's mother has also been nurtured by the family, although Su Lin's nerdy appearance made her very anxious before, but now it is even more serious.

"Well, aunt, this is just my nephew's casual work, and I won't lose my mind by playthings..."Su Lin hurriedly defended, "However, now that the family is poor, my nephew is also trying to make the family feel better..."

"Huh... That's it! Fang's mother sighed, how could she provide for Su Lin to study without money? While observing the oil press, he said, "What is the use of this lump of wood that can neither weave cloth nor be used in the military?" ”

"Ask my aunt to fetch some beans." Surin Road.

After a while, the confused Fang Mu took a bag of beans, and Su Lin quickly made these beans into oil cakes from straw bales, and after a while, the clear soybean oil rolled out, and the air was filled with a strong fragrance.

Fang's mother was dumbfounded, and when she asked about the smell of soybean oil in the air, she couldn't help but say, "This bean water can be so fragrant!" ”

Su Lin took the clay pot and soybean oil, and said with a smile: "Auntie, this is not water, but oil, and stir-frying with this oil is much more fragrant than animal oil." ”

"Can this be stir-fried?" Fang's mother couldn't believe her ears, it was true that there were stir-fried vegetables in this world, but because there was no vegetable oil, ordinary people couldn't afford to waste animal oil to stir-fry, "Lin'er, Aunt Mo is happy." ”

Su Lin didn't argue, and looked at the soybean oil in the clay pot, which looked like about seven or eight catties, even in his world, it was enough for a family of three to eat for two or three days.

The slanting sun shone into the clay pot, looking at the reflection of soybean oil, Su Lin couldn't help but laugh.

"Auntie, it's getting evening, you can take this to stir-fry vegetables for dinner first, if there are beans, sesame seeds, and rapeseed at home, you can use it to make vegetable oil."

Handing the soybean oil to Fang Mu, feeling the oiliness of the clay pot and the fragrance emanating from it, Fang Mu had no choice but to do what Su Lin said.

The sunset in the west mountain, the sunset is red all over the sky, the originally poor courtyard exudes a strong fragrance of vegetables, and many neighbors have run to Su Lin's house to find out.

However, Su Lin closed his door to this, and others only thought that the poor scholar had made a fortune and bought lard and mutton fat to come back to stir-fry.

The things that can be directly squeezed at home are used, not counting the previous squeezing, including fifteen catties of soybean oil, half a catty of sesame oil, and five catties of vegetable oil.

Compared with soybean oil, rapeseed oil is more fragrant, and Su Lin feels that he will use rapeseed oil at home in the future.

"Wow, that's delicious!" The jade scales can be said to be devouring today, he has never eaten a bite of stir-fried vegetables, and he eats it once by chance, as if a person in the desert has eaten fresh fish once.

Eating stir-fried vegetables that he hadn't eaten for many days, Su Lin felt indescribable happiness in his heart, but he didn't expect this oil and water to really come out by himself, and the success of the first plan made Su Lin have great confidence in those jars of wine and tea production in the future.

However, Fang's mother now has a complicated complexion, and making vegetable oil can certainly make the family situation better, but this is always a strange and ingenious skill, and a scholar still wants to do business, you must know that the ancestors of the Su family have always been officials for generations, and it was not until later that the great-grandfather's generation participated in the change of law that they gradually fell into decline.

My grandfather's brothers and Su Lin's father's brothers, who didn't study hard for the sake of recovering their ancestral business? If you want to say that it was okay in the past, there were some ancestral protégés and family friends to help, and the family was quite passable, but they were always manipulated by the opposite during the exam, resulting in failure.

Now it's good, in Su Lin's generation, although the opponents of the ancestors are almost dead, but it happened to be a big flood, don't say that a small family like the Su family, even some big families were flooded, and only one out of ten remained.

As if seeing through Fang's mother's worries, Su Lin sandwiched a piece of lotus root into his aunt's bowl: "Auntie, are you worried that your nephew has forgotten the responsibility of recovering her ancestral business?" If this is the case, my aunt can rest assured that my nephew will study poetry and books in his spare time, and will take the exam in Beijing again next year. ”

Fang's mother sighed, thinking that none of her brothers were champions and people, but because the ancestral opponent was still there, the emperor didn't care about anything, and he was always unwilling in the examination room when he was young, and then it was easy to wait for those people to die, and a big flood destroyed the whole family.

When I arrived at Su Lin, the Su family's qualifications in reading seemed to be like the flood that washed the Su family to ruin, and it no longer existed.

"Jade Scale, did you go and ask?" Only then did Su Lin remember what he had told his cousin in the morning.

Jade Scale burped, and looked at the leftovers on the table reluctantly, but couldn't eat it: "Brother, the restaurant said that the cheapest lard and mutton fat now costs 500 yuan a catty, and if there is really fried oil that is better than lard and mutton fat, 800 yuan can also be sold." ”

"You first hand over the fifteen catties of soybean oil to the restaurant, and the first time you buy and sell, it will be counted as ten taels of silver, and you will leave a good impression on others." Su Lin laughed.
