Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun went to ask, because the oil extraction in this area has always been peanut oil and soybean oil, and this tea seed oil extraction does not want sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and rapeseeds.

Qiao Xiaoru said that she only said that it was treated the same as peanuts and soybeans, and promised that she would compensate if the equipment was damaged because of this, and paid a deposit of two taels of silver, so everyone reluctantly agreed to give it a try.

When I tried it, I found that this tea seed is indeed the same as peanuts and soybeans.

The tea seeds are first roasted in a special kiln to remove the water, then ground into tea seed powder, and then pressed into a cake shape in a mold.

The mold is made of iron, round, and the size of a basin mouth. First spread a layer of straw in the mold, pour the tea seed powder into it and spread it flat, press it, then cover it with a layer of straw, cover the mold lid, and squeeze it strongly to remove the mold, and then get a solid tea seed cake.

When squeezing oil, the pieces of tea seed cakes are overlapped and stuck together in a simple machine, arranged in a long line, two strong and powerful men shake the long iron handle, with the handle shaken, the string of tea seed cakes is squeezed tighter and tighter, there are drops of tea oil dripping down in the long groove below, and then the tea oil rises more and more like rain in a line, converges into a stream in the long trough, and flows down the slightly inclined long trough to the large vat below.

There will also be an iron ring covered with gauze on the cylinder, and the oil will first pass through the gauze and then flow into the cylinder, which can play the role of filtration.

To complete a complete set of oil extraction process, it takes about three or four days.

On the day of the oil, Qiao Xiaoru took the foolish husband to watch from the side, and the tea oil obtained was very clear and transparent, amber, and exuded a rich tea fragrance.

Everyone had never seen it before, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and they looked around for a while and talked about it.

"This tea seed can really squeeze out oil!"

"I heard that I picked up tea seeds from the mountains, why have I never seen them!"

"Hey, this little daughter-in-law of the Lu family is really capable, you can imagine this!"

A total of nearly sixty catties of tea oil were obtained, and the processing fee was six dollars of silver, and the previous deposit was returned to Qiao Xiaoru.

Qiao Xiaoru used two clay jars to fill them, put them in two baskets, and the foolish husband picked them up, and the two went home.

Sixty catties of oil is almost enough to eat for a year.

Those tea cakes after squeezing the oil, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun all carried them home, a total of twenty yuan.

This is also a good thing, and it can be used as firewood. Chop off small pieces and wrap them in gauze and soak them in hot water, using this hot water to wash your hair to nourish your hair and not produce dandruff, Qiao Xiaoru stacked all these tea cakes in the shed in the backyard.

Anyway, the yard at home is big, so you don't have to worry about taking up space.

In the middle, another thing happened that made Qiao Xiaoru speechless.

After knowing that their family had squeezed tea oil, the Yang family and the Zhang family actually called Tian to sit at home, and tried their best to ask Tian where he got the money to pay for the oil extraction.

They are clear about the family background of the third room, don't they just the few taels of silver when they split the family? Even if you pick up mushrooms and sell them later, there will definitely not be much, build a house, buy winter clothes, buy chickens, etc., where is there any leftover? It's good if you don't owe debt!

Tian was not the opponent of these two, she was forced to parry, so she had to reveal a few words Qiao Xiaoru and Fool Fujun went into the mountain to dig up some valuable herbs and sold them, as for what kind of herbs, she said that she didn't know, she only knew that the pharmacy gave a better price......

If it weren't for Qiao Xiaoru's serious advice that the matter of Funiu Mountain should never be leaked, Tian would definitely not be able to bear it.

The two pressed her to ask how much she had sold?

Tian didn't dare to say anything even if it didn't help, she only said that there seemed to be a few taels, and she didn't know how much, because she wouldn't be in charge, and the money was in her daughter-in-law's hands......

The Yang family and the Zhang family were so depressed that if the silver was in the hands of the Tian family, they could always think of some flowers. But in Qiao Xiaoru's hands, they don't have to think about it!

That dead girl is a master who doesn't get in oil and salt, and there are no elders in her eyes!

The two couldn't help but count the Luo Tian clan useless! has no prestige as a mother-in-law at all, and even let her daughter-in-law be in charge! If it continues like this, in a few years, I'm afraid that she won't even have a foothold in the third room! It's a shame to be so weak......

Tian listened to their counts, listened honestly, and squeezed out a little smile from time to time, just hoping that they would finish counting quickly.

Yang and Zhang saw that she was so "not growing", they said for a long time that she didn't mean to make a big fuss with her daughter-in-law to regain the right to be in charge, and she was so angry that she didn't know what to say, and she couldn't wait to knock her head open to see what was inside!

It was so easy for the Tian family to flee......

The Yang family and the Zhang family didn't dare to ask Qiao Xiaoru for money, but they made an appointment to ask for oil, so they said that there was no oil to eat at home, so they asked Qiao Xiaoru to borrow some. I don't believe she dares not to borrow!

Who knew that before they could come to the door to show their might, Qiao Xiaoru's family personally sent a small jar to the door, about three or four catties.

Where do rural people give up more oil when cooking? A little saving a little three or four pounds is enough for more than a month.

But Yang and Zhang were not satisfied, and both of them were too little.

Qiao Xiaoru didn't bother to pay attention to it, and said with a smile: "We send it, it's our heart!" Is it possible that the eldest aunt (second uncle) family will not be able to use oil in the future? If there is really this truth, I also admit it, if not, what does the eldest aunt (second uncle) mean by saying this! ”

If you want to borrow something in the future, it's impossible!

The next day after squeezing the oil, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun went to the old carpenter's house again and asked the old carpenter to make four pairs of wooden barrels, which should be made as light and strong as possible, and should be lided.

Immediately, Qiao Xiaoru paid the money in full, a total of one or two silver, and only asked to do it before the year.

The old carpenter readily agreed.

Then I went to the pottery kiln, made eight large jars, and asked the pottery jars to use some materials and add flat wooden covers, which were also made a year ago.

At this time, it was late October, and the things in hand had come to an end, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun rested at home for a few days, and by the way, they also made Bazhen cake, and ground a lot of powder with a small stone mill to put up the same powder in small jars for easy access.

Qiao Xiaoru taught Tian and asked her to steam it every three days or so in the future, and it would be enough to eat for three days at a time.

Not only does she eat it herself, but Qiao Xiaoru also eats it, and if she insists on it for a year and a half, it will definitely have a great improvement on her body.

In fact, Qiao Xiaoru's own body is not the same, her face is yellow and thin, her hair is not shiny, and her tail is slightly yellow. So she also needs to improve her body!
