The atmosphere in the Zhuangzi was very good, everyone was full of happy smiles, and after Qinghe asked the location of the oil mill, Lin Yu'an and his party walked over slowly.

From time to time, people smiled and saluted her on the road, which made her not very used to it.

Although the houses in Zhuangzi are some years old, they all look sturdy, and most of them are tiled houses, unlike what she had seen in Hushen County before, where they were basically with thatched roofs.

It seems that her family's farmer is living well.

At this time, she saw someone walking by with a large pot of sauerkraut, and the sauerkraut that had been cut into thin shreds and tender yellow was piled high in the basin.

Smelling the fermented sour gas, Lin Yu'an couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

She remembered the famous pig-killing dish.

The stew mixed with sauerkraut, blood sausage, pork belly, big stick bones, etc., the more you boil, the more flavorful it becomes, and the more you cook it, the stronger the aroma.

But...... She can't eat it now.

So she added another big dish to the small book of the dishes she wanted to eat.

Next year's piglets are going to be raised!

The oil mill in the village is not far away, built near the small river on the edge of the Zhuangzi, and it is estimated that the fire protection problem was considered.

It can be seen that Zhuangzi's planning and design are good, and I don't know whose handiwork.

Lin Yu'an and the others arrived soon, and I don't know if the housekeeper said it in advance, Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang were standing outside the oil mill and waiting.

Seeing the couple again, Lin Yu'an had a special song in his head, "Ah Zhen fell in love with Ah Qiang, ...... on a starry night"

She almost hummed.

But the honest man and the delicate wife, this match is very good.

"Countryman."

Zhang Qiang and his wife saw them coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Lin Yu'an smiled and said, "Don't be too restrained, I just want to see how the vegetable oil is squeezed out." ”

"Okay, please go in with the little one and have a look."

Zhang Qiang took a step back and stood on the left side, letting Lin Yu'an walk in the center, introducing the tools in the oil mill as he walked.

The air is filled with the smell of oil.

Lin Yu'an looked at everything in the oil mill curiously.

In her previous life, with the changes of the times, the artificial wood press had long been replaced by the machine oil press, and it was the first time she saw the oil mill in reality.

"The steps of extracting vegetable oil are to sieve the seeds, grind the flour, steam the flour, step on the cake, and then squeeze the oil ......"

Zhang Qiang pointed to the basket on the ground, "This is the rapeseed used for oil extraction, when the oil is extracted, the oil embryo cake will be put into this groove, and then hit it with a bumper bar, and the oil will slowly flow out." ”

Lin Yu'an listened and felt that something was wrong.

She vaguely remembered Hu Mouhua's ancient peanut oil advertising slogan, which was slow stir-frying, fragrant, and then squeezed.

Although the advertisement says peanuts, the principle should be the same, right?

"Don't you have to fry rapeseed first?"

"Stir-fry?"

Zhang Qiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "May I ask why Xiangjun wants to fry it first?" Is there any explanation for this? ”

Lin Yu'an: "......"

You can't say that she was brainwashed by the lines in the advertisement, right?

After a while, she came up with a reason that seemed more reasonable, "When boiling lard, don't you also fry it over fire?" This way the oil can slowly seep out. ”

Zhang Qiang frowned tightly, as if he was struggling, "It's just that when the master taught, he didn't say this step." ”

Lin Yu'an saw that he was already shaken, and immediately continued to flicker: "As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, and the development of technology depends on everyone to carry out a variety of research and improvements, so that there will be new breakthroughs." ”

When she finished, there was silence in the oil mill.

Qing He looked at her with admiration.

Zhang Qiang immediately came to his senses as if he had been empowered, "I'll try it now!" After saying that, he picked up a basket of rapeseed without looking back, and strode to the kitchen.

Ah Zhen hurriedly explained: "Xiangjun, I'm sorry! My men are always like this, and they don't care about anything at the beginning. ”

"That's good."

Since the oil mill was full of oil, Ah Zhen suggested that Lin Yu'an go to the hall to sit and drink some tea.

Lin Yu'an pondered in his heart, anyway, he had already said it, or he would mention the matter of soybean oil, so he followed with a smile.

She glanced lightly at the two guards standing outside the door.

How do you bring it up so that it doesn't arouse suspicion?

Ah Zhen took out a plate from the cabinet, "This is the sesame candy I made myself, please taste it." ”

On the plate were some lumps with sesame seeds on the outside.

Each piece is two fingers wide.

Doesn't it mean that sugar is a scarce commodity? There isn't even much in Mu Wangfu, although things will be prepared for the New Year now, but the amount of sugar in this plate of sesame candy that Ah Zhen took out will not be less, right?

Ah Zhen smiled and asked Lin Yu'an to taste.

Lin Yu'an didn't want to brush her mind, picked up a piece that looked the smallest and put it in his mouth.

Hey?

The taste and texture were different from what she had eaten in her previous life, not so sweet, soft and a little sticky to the bite.

"Isn't this made with brown sugar?"

Ah Zhen covered her mouth and smiled, "I use caramel candy." ”

"Caramel sugar?" Lin Yu'an was a little confused, "What's that?" ”

Ah Zhen was a little surprised, the townsman didn't know about caramel candy? She explains: "It's made with sprouted wheat and glutinous rice, and my kids love it, so they always make some during the Chinese New Year." ”

"It turned out to be maltose, I forgot that it was called caramel anymore, no wonder it was so sticky." Lin Yu'an smiled and said, "It's delicious!" I think I can sell it. ”

Ah Zhen: "Thank you for the compliment, but you can't sell it." ”

Lin Yu'an: "Why? Ah, is it because you are afraid of being converted to a business registration? ”

"That's not it, just because this sesame seed is not easy to grow, and there are so many harvests every year, which are generally sold directly for money or squeezed into sesame oil."

Hearing her say this, Lin Yu'an's eyes immediately lit up.

Isn't this exactly the sleepiness that meets the pillow?!

Lin Yu'an immediately made a curious look, "It turns out that the sesame oil is squeezed out of sesame seeds?" ”

Qing He on the side was stunned.

Didn't Xiangjun just hear Aunt Qian's introduction yesterday, why is it like hearing it for the first time now?

Jane: "Yes, the process is actually similar to rapeseed. ”

Lin Yu'an asked, "Is there a lot of oil that can be squeezed?" Like what...... Well, for example, can we make beans for tofu? ”

"Beans don't work."

"Why? Have you tried it? Lin Yu'an was a little surprised, if the beans are not good, then where does the soybean oil come from?

Ah Zhen was stunned, she didn't expect this little countryman to be so curious about oil extraction, "I haven't tried this, mainly because of the oil extraction materials handed down by the masters, and there are no beans." ”

Lin Yu'an blinked his eyes wide, making himself look more innocent and cute, "Then try it, you can see that beans can be eaten directly, and they can also be made into tofu, maybe there are other uses." Otherwise, I'll make beans, please help me try squeezing them? ”
