Chapter 53: Soybean Oil
In the era of the Tang Dynasty, the reason why people can eat three or four catties of grain a day is largely because there is no oil and water in their stomachs.
All energy and nutrients come from food, and naturally you will eat a lot.
But fats and fats are different, they are extremely high in energy and can provide a lot of nutrients. And most importantly, soybeans are cheap. It's cheaper than rice, and I just don't know how to eat it.
Using two wish points for the production of soybean oil, Qin Ze felt that it was very cost-effective, and this was the first time that the system had been so generous.
Just as I was about to thank the system for two sentences, I suddenly felt a pain in my buttocks, and then the whole person almost didn't fly out.
Qin Ze reacted at this time, and he forgot that Old Demon Cheng was still talking to him. Seeing that this guy's face was getting worse and worse, and it was obvious that he was still angry after kicking him, Qin Ze hurriedly waved his hand and retreated again and again: "I have a way, I have a way." ”
"Say." Cheng Lao Demon snorted coldly, not giving Qin Ze a good look.
Just when the military rations were made, soybeans were given. So Qin Ze grabbed a handful in his hand and said to everyone, "What do you guys look at?" ”
"Oops!" Before Qin Ze's words were finished, Cheng Lao Demon came up and kicked again.
In fact, this guy is also very sure, and it doesn't hurt too much to kick on his body, but the key is that Qin Ze's real age is already twenty-four years old.
Qin Ze felt a little embarrassed, but Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu on the side couldn't wait to run over by themselves, pouting their butts and letting Cheng Lao Demon kick them one by one.
In this regard, Qin Ze could only smile helplessly in his heart.
Qin Ze's old habit of liking people's appetite has been committed again, the key is that he has committed it on the unreasonable Cheng Lao Demon, what can he say except to think that he is unlucky.
After taking a kick, Qin Ze instantly became honest, pointed to the soybeans in his hand and said, "That's it, this thing can be used to squeeze oil." ”
"!" As soon as Qin Ze's words were finished, Cheng Lao Demon scolded with a dark face.
"Don't think I don't know, this thing is cooked and flatulent, how can it be possible to squeeze oil?"
Cheng Laoyou is indeed right, this thing really can't be squeezed for oil. Because in their minds, the so-called oil extraction is a physical method to squeeze out the oil.
And if this method is used on soybeans, it is estimated that soybeans will directly become powder, and what is there to talk about oil extraction.
This method is indeed very suitable for dealing with oily products such as sesame seeds and tung seeds, but it is useless for soybeans.
Just now he has obtained the method of making soybean oil from the system, and only then did he know that soybean oil is not squeezed out, but boiled in water.
During the process, Qin Ze suddenly remembered another method of making oil, that is, gutter oil.
It is all boiled in water and boiled until the fat seeps out.
"General, the oil extraction I am talking about is not squeezing, it is boiling." Qin Ze knew that if he didn't let Cheng Lao Demon stop, his ass would be very likely to bloom.
But as soon as he heard Qin Ze say that the oil should be boiled in water, Cheng Laoyou's beard shook, and the whole person was about to raise his feet. Qin Ze jumped to the side, and hurriedly said with his hand: "If the general doesn't believe it, let's make a bet." ”
Qin Ze found out, and the bet was a good thing. Because through this, he was able to get what he wanted, and in an upright way.
It's just for Cheng Laoyou......
Unreasonableness is a must.
He knew Qin Ze's ghost idea, how could he bet with him.
I didn't see what Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu were missing.
"Bet on the fart." After scolding, Cheng Lao Demon still wanted to raise his feet, or kick Qin Ze happily.
When he met Cheng Lao Demon, Qin Ze had no choice, this guy was shameless, and he had a complete fight with himself.
Chess opponents!
"I'll make you soybean oil right now." In order to prevent Cheng Lao Demon from kicking himself and becoming addicted, Qin Ze felt that he needed to interrupt him once.
Sure enough, when he heard Qin Ze say that he wanted to do it now, Cheng Lao Demon was also shocked, glanced at Qin Ze with a confident face, and found that he didn't look like he was lying. Only then did he put away his feet stupidly.
It wasn't until he saw Cheng Laodemon retract his feet that Qin Ze wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh of relief.
In fact, Qin Ze said that it is impossible to do it now, because it is the most critical step in making soybean oil. Just wait for the soybeans to ferment, and this process takes a day or two.
"I know how to do this, but it's going to take at least a day or two." Qin Ze shrugged his shoulders and looked at Cheng Lao Demon as he spoke, and at the same time, he was also vigilant under his feet, and immediately retreated if he was wrong.
However, after listening to Qin Ze's words, Cheng Laoyou didn't say a word, and looked at Qin Ze with a serious face.
He has felt the taste of stir-frying, and at the same time, he also knows that if there is a large amount of soybean oil, the entire diet of Datang will change dramatically.
At the very least, this kind of military rations fried in oil is much better than millet porridge. If this sentence was said to him by someone else, he might not believe it, but for Qin Ze......
Even Cheng Lao Demon is a little unsure.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Laodemon opened his mouth and asked, "Boy, let me ask you again, can you really make soybean oil?" ”
"Absolutely." Qin Ze nodded and replied.
On the other side, Changshi Song Fang couldn't help it, and came up and asked expectantly: "How much soybean oil can be made from one stone of soybeans?" ”
Qin Ze thought for a moment, and the system said that one pound of soybeans could make three to four taels of soybean oil. And the stone they are talking about is fifty-three kilograms, that is, more than one hundred catties of soybeans. Converting it to almost 30 to 40 catties of soybean oil.
And now one pound is still sixteen taels, and forty pounds is converted to about three catties.
Of course, in order to ensure that he had enough way to retreat, Qin Ze still decided to say less. As far as he knew, even if he used the advanced oil extraction technology of later generations, only four taels of sesame oil could be produced from one pound of sesame seeds. What's more, it is now a pure handmade era.
"One stone of soybeans can produce two catties of soybean oil, but I am not very sure."
As soon as Qin Ze said this, Cheng Lao Demon over there jumped up suddenly, grabbed Qin Ze's shoulder and said, "Boy, what you said is true?" ”
Soybeans are much more abundant than sesame seeds, and they are very cheap. According to what Qin Ze said, the oil produced is almost the same as the sesame oil, which is simply an excellent oil extraction item.
Being grabbed by Cheng Laoyou, Qin Ze only felt a pain in his shoulder. I can't say a word that grins right now.
Song Fang over there also noticed the change in Qin Ze's face, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull away Cheng Lao Demon, which saved Qin Ze a small life.
Cheng Laoyou also found that he had lost his temper, and laughed at Qin Ze twice, completely lacking his previous excitement.
Qin Ze rubbed his shoulders and said aggrievedly: "It should be like this, this thing is not squeezed, but boiled in water, so the refining is more thorough." ”
"Good, good, good." said three good things in a row, and Cheng Laoyou was obviously a little excited.
Qin Ze rolled his eyes, seeing that the atmosphere was just right now, he bowed to a few people and opened his mouth and said: "Don't hide it from a few adults, what Your Majesty asked your subordinates to do this time is to make locusts into military rations, and when the time comes, this soybean oil will be made, and you will have to rely on a few more people to help." ”
"What!"
Qin Ze's sudden words made everyone shocked, and they looked at Qin Ze one by one with an expression of whether I heard it wrong.
Qin Ze looked at them and nodded, and continued: "My idea is to use that soybean oil to fry locust powder, I don't know how many adults think it's feasible?" ”
If they could, Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu would rather lose to Qin Ze themselves than make this matter to Changshi and the general.
And Changshi Song Fang and the other two Changshi are also in the same mood, and they are eager to slap themselves in the mouth.
So there was an extremely strange scene in this small army courtyard, Zuo Wuwei's general, three Changshi and a middle marquis squatted on one side, Qin Ze, Wang Dayi, and Wang Daniu squatted on the other side, all of them looked at me and I looked at you, with a look of wanting to cry without tears.
In the middle of the ring, Song Fang asked cautiously: "Your Majesty really intends to use locusts as military food?" ”
This sentence is actually nonsense, and the reason why he asked this is completely unacceptable for a while.
This thing, which a few days ago was a poison that everyone had heard of, was now used as food for soldiers. If it was discovered by those guys, a bad mutiny was possible.
At least as far as he was concerned, he didn't want to eat it.
Can ...... now
Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word, saying that the two of them were the worst. not only got all his superiors in, but also completely blocked his own back road.
As for Qin Ze, although his face was also painful, he ...... in his heart
Hehe, someone shares what he's afraid of, anyway, so many bigwigs are in the same boat with him, and if something happens, they will capsize together.
Anyway, there are so many big guys on the boat, and if you talk about this little miscellaneous fish, others will also treat him as a little helper.
Well, that's what Qin Ze wants.
Song Fang is also reflecting now, it is very likely that he was cheated by Qin Ze. Whoever gets involved in this now will be a disaster.
"You've fulfilled your wish to try your cooking skills and get a little bit of Wish Points. The current wish is worth nineteen points. The sound of the system sounded, indicating that Qin Ze's task had been completed.
Won a little Wish Value, spent two points. But at least I got the production method that I had, and in general, it was not a loss.
A yard of people squatted on the ground and thought for a moment, and Changshi Song Fang opened his mouth and asked, "Is the soybean oil you said easy to make?" Song Fang frowned, since he had been pulled into the water, he simply did a good job.
"It's a simple method, and it takes about two to three days to get oil. As long as I am given a certain amount of manpower and enough soybeans, I can make a lot of soybean oil. The time given by His Majesty is a month, which is enough. Qin Ze replied honestly.
Cheng Lao Demon is not responsible for these things, military rations are originally the responsibility of Changshi, who will deal with it if he doesn't deal with it.
"Well, I'll go back and set it up and start making soybean oil as soon as possible. It's just that this production method ......" When it came to Changshi, he stopped, and looked at Qin Ze with a look on his face and stopped.
