Chapter 120: Surprise
Qin Saburo looked at the soybean oil in the clay pot, and his heart was both surprised and surprised.
He knew that Gu Jinli wanted to use soybeans to make oil, and he thought that she could do it, but when he really saw soybean oil, it was still difficult to calm down.
…… From tofu to soybean oil, Xiaoyu has broken their perception of soybeans again and again.
Who would have thought that this small soybean could make so many novel things.
Qin Sanlang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, is this oil done?" ”
Brother Cheng also looked at his second sister, waiting for her to speak.
Gu Jinli said: "It's not good yet, you have to filter it before you can store it in a jar." ”
The soybean oil that has just been beaten has too many impurities and must be filtered to get pure soybean oil.
Gu Jinli ran to her and Gu Jinxiu's house, took out a half-meter-long piece of arrowroot cloth from a wooden frame, folded the arrowroot cloth into three layers, and filtered the soybean oil with the arrowroot cloth, filtering it three times before stopping.
At this time, the soybean oil no longer has foam and crushed bean dregs, showing an amber-like crystal color, which is very beautiful.
"Wow~" Brother Cheng said in surprise: "Second sister, soybean oil looks good, more beautiful than fried meat oil." ”
Qin Sanlang also felt that the color of this soybean oil was good-looking, and asked Gu Jinli again: "Xiaoyu, is this it?" ”
Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, that's it, you can start decorating the altar." ”
The third grandmother was cutting tofu with a knife, and when she saw them talking together, and Qin Sanlang also stopped beating the oil with the bell, she came over to take a look, and saw the filtered soybean oil, and was surprised at the moment: "This, this is soybean oil?" Eh, it's really oil! ”
After speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth and ran to the courtyard gate to take a look, for fear that someone would pass by and hear her words, but fortunately, there was no one outside.
The third grandmother hurriedly ran back and asked Xiaoyu in a low voice: "Is this really oil?" ”
Gu Jinli nodded: "Yes, this is oil, let's fry something in soybean oil and taste it in a while." ”
The third grandmother was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and after a while, she said: "Okay, let's fry things in soybean oil, what do you want to do, do whatever you want, put as much oil as you want, the third grandmother won't stop you." ”
In the past, when Gu Jinli cooked, the third grandmother always felt sorry for her for putting too much oil and wasting it. Now that she has made this soybean oil, she is no longer afraid.
Isn't it just oil, put it, you can put it as much as you want.
Cheng Ge'er had already gone to the kitchen and told Cui and Gu Jinxiu about Gu Jinli's soybean oil, and the two hurriedly came out and were taken aback when they saw the soybean oil in the clay pot.
"Little Fish...... This, this is really oily. Cui's voice trembled a little as he spoke.
Without waiting for Gu Jinli to speak, the third grandmother said: "It's not to make oil, we Xiaoyu just have the ability." ”
Cui Shi and Gu Jinxiu were very happy to hear this, and when they heard that Gu Jinli was going to fry something in soybean oil, Cui Shi said, "Mother will go and make room for you." ”
The three pots in the kitchen are boiling soy milk, and if the pot is not used, the small fish cannot be eaten.
Cui Shi went back to the kitchen, Gu Jinxiu is not the kind of person who likes to watch the excitement, after seeing the soybean oil, he also followed back to the kitchen to help.
Gu Jinli found a jar, scalded it with boiling water several times, and after sterilizing it, he put the filtered soybean oil into the jar and filled most of the jar.
Gu Jinli was very surprised, this jar is not small, it can hold five catties of water, and now it can fill the jar with half a finger, which means that the twenty catties of soybeans have at least four catties of oil, which is a lot more than she expected.
Qin Sanlang looked at Gu Jinli's appearance, thinking that he was surprised by the amount of soybean oil, so he said, "I'll borrow the nickname." ”
He went to He Sixteen's house, spent a penny to rent a small scale, and weighed the soybean oil: "Six catties and two taels, the jar weighs two catties, this is four catties and two taels of oil." ”
"It turned out to be four catties and two taels of oil." This amount of oil is really amazing.
Gu Jinli immediately calculated an account, now soybeans on the market are three cents a catty, twenty catties of soybeans cost sixty yuan, sixty yuan can have four catties of two taels of oil, which is much more cost-effective than lard.
A pound of fat pork is 30 yuan, and a pound of fat pork can produce half a pound of oil, that is to say, a fat pork of 60 yuan can produce a pound of oil, and at the same price, soybean oil is three catties and two taels more than meat oil.
Gu Jinli knew very well what this meant.
She suppressed her excitement and said to Qin Sanlang: "Little Brother Qin, you have helped me a lot today, I will go and make something delicious, you stay and eat." ”
Qin Sanlang smiled, a small dimple appeared on his face, and nodded, "Okay." ”
But he was not idle, but helped put away the pressed tofu.
Gu Jinli took the soybean oil to the kitchen, and then took out the oiled cake embryo from the small cloth bag.
After an hour of beating, these cake embryos have been thoroughly bonded together to form a piece of bean cake half a centimeter thick.
Gu Jinli cut these cake embryos into one inch size, then boiled the oil in the pot, and waited for the soybean oil to emit a trace of white smoke, and then put the cut cake embryos into the oil pot piece by piece.
The cake base swells rapidly in the oil pan, about three times larger, and when the cake base is fried to a crisp, it becomes fried bean skin.
She also made fried tofu with soybean oil and fried sweet potato balls. There are also some meat sent by Shang Xiucai's family at home, and fried crispy meat and fried meatballs are made.
Although the fried beans are not as fragrant as the meat oil, they are just as delicious.
Brother Cheng and the third grandmother were very happy, and the third grandmother sighed: "How dare you eat like this before? I fried some noodles during the Chinese New Year, but now I can eat fried things with an open stomach. ”
Oil is expensive, where do farmers have to make fried food? It's all about entertaining guests during the New Year. But now that she has soybean oil, she is no longer distressed.
After Qin Sanlang ate a few pieces of fried bean skin, he returned home with the two big pottery bowls of fried food given by Gu Jinli.
Not long after, the third grandfather who came out of the stall came back with Gu Dashan and his son, who went to procure, and the three of them looked at the fried food in two clay pots and a jar of soybean oil, and they were all surprised.
The third grandfather is an old man who has gone through things, and he knows the value of this soybean oil, so he hurriedly explained to them: "Don't tell you about the method of this soybean oil, so as not to cause trouble." ”
There are people who come to grab the tofu recipe, not to mention the soybean oil.
The family hurriedly nodded yes.
The third grandfather asked Gu Jinli again: "Xiaoyu, what are you going to do with this soybean oil?" ”
Soybean oil is a good thing, but it's too good to cause trouble.
Gu Jinli looked at Gu Jin'an and said with a smile: "Big brother is going to Uncle Shang's house tomorrow, and I will go too, and I will send soybean oil to Uncle Shang." ”
Uncle Shang is very interested in soybean oil and soy sauce, and she believes that this soybean oil will surprise him.
The third grandfather saw that Gu Jinli had a plan in his heart, put his mind at ease, and said, "Okay, I won't talk until I see Shang Xiu tomorrow." ”
The third grandfather is very convinced of Shang Xiucai, and Shang Xiucai has a father-in-law who is a county lieutenant, and he will definitely be able to help them protect this soybean oil.
