Chapter 196: Half Sold and Half Given
"Zhuang Gongzi, do you have any small medicine pestles for grinding medicine at home, or maybe you can use the grinding disc for grinding tofu."
"I'll look for it." Zhuang Jin now has some hope for Shen An'an's arrival, after all, judging from his father's words and deeds, Shen An'an's words can have a certain impact on him.
If he is allowed to reduce the amount of work and do what he wants, it will be the best of both worlds.
"Let's go outside and talk. Uncle Zhuang, do you have any other oil here? After seeing the oil mill in Lao Zhuang, Shen Anan knew that he was not bragging. Basically, the ancient oil extraction process came from this way.
However, if the olive oil is fried like this, the damage is too great, which is not conducive to the oil. That's why she thought about whether to try a simpler and less labor-saving method.
"There are other oils, such as camellia oil, and the oil you fried with cinnamon last time, but the oil that was fried with cinnamon is too strong, and I don't like it."
Shen An nodded approvingly, and explained: "Because cinnamon itself is a spice, the fried oil has a strong taste. And most of the uses of their pies are also used for stir-frying. But camellia oil, or olive oil, has other wonderful uses. ”
"Oh, how do you say this? Can it really be used for other purposes? ”
"Well, camellia oil tastes light and smells, and there are no impurities, and after a certain amount of purification, it can be used as an essential oil. The use of essential oils is that they can be used to moisturize the skin, and in short, they are used to help us women beautify and maintain their beauty. ”
Lao Zhuang's mind couldn't turn for a while, and he asked Shen An'an again: "You mean, these olive oils I made can be used to wipe your skin." ”
Shen Anan smiled and said, "Yes." If Uncle Zhuang doesn't believe it, he can ask Mrs. Zhuang to apply these olive oils evenly all over the body after bathing every day. In less than half a month, you can basically see the effect. Olive oil contains a lot of nutrients that can moisturize people's skin, and after long-term use, the effect is even better. ”
Lao Zhuang seems to understand whether he understands or not, but Shen Anan said that the miraculous effect can be tried, after all, this effect can also be seen.
What Shen Anan didn't say was that in fact, many people don't know the function of olive oil. For example, olive oil in Sichuan is also considered a tribute, and it is all used as a tribute to the harem concubines.
It's just that those concubines don't know much about the wonderful use of olive oil, and many people feel that the olive oil is greasy and uncomfortable on the body, and it has not been promoted across the country.
If Shen Anan is the first person to eat crabs and promotes the wonderful use of essential oils, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the market.
But if they don't say that the essential oil they use is olive oil, or camellia oil, no one can guess what it is.
Therefore, the potential of this market is unlimited, and their way to making money is also bright.
After the three of them went out, Lao Zhuang took a cloth towel and wiped it on his body, wiped off the sweat on his body, changed into a dark gray gown, gathered his clothes, and prepared to take Shen Anan to the warehouse.
However, when I turned my head, I found that there was a delicate little lady standing next to Shen An'an, who looked vaguely similar to Shen An'an, but not completely. Lao Zhuang guessed if they were sisters. couldn't help but smile and asked, "It turns out that you are not alone today, but you even brought a little lady." I already saw your brother last time, so who is this today? ”
"Oh, she's my sister, her name is Shen Anxiu, and my name is Shen An'an. We've seen each other twice, and I haven't told you my name yet. ”
Lao Zhuang smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's your sister, you look a little alike." However, you little girl, you seem to have been doing well lately, and you seem to be much better looking than last time. ”
Shen Anan couldn't help but smile shyly, and said in his heart, it was because this girl had just crossed over, she lacked food and clothing, and she was a little unaccustomed to the soil. Now that he has slowly opened up the situation, life is much smoother, and people will naturally get better and better.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhuang, I will take your words as a compliment." Hahaha
Lao Zhuang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"I've been okay lately, I've been busy. It's Uncle Zhuang, you've lost a lot of money recently. Shen Anan looked at Lao Zhuang's body today, but he was a little worried about him. After all, the body is the capital of the revolution, and if you don't have a good body, you can't do anything you want to.
"You always have to pay attention to your body, there are some things that you can command and let others do it." In fact, Shen Anan told him to rest completely and stop messing with these things.
Lao Zhuang didn't listen to it, and he didn't care very much. "Thank you Xiao Nizi for your concern, what I did was not a matter. It's just that I'm usually fine, so let's get it. If I were really idle, I would feel uncomfortable. ”
Shen Anan knew that what he said was in vain. Lao Zhuang is very persistent, and it is difficult to change the things he believes in, unless he is asked to do things in a different way. Now she somewhat understands why Zhuang Jin talked about his father with a sad look on his face.
"Little lady Shen, I found something for you. In the yard behind my house, there is a grinding disc. If it works, it can be used. ”
Shen Anan nodded and took the medicine pestle in Zhuang Jin's hand.
Without waiting for her to speak, Zhuang Jin had already volunteered to help Shen Anan bring some fresh green olives that were not fried.
Shen Anan said thank you and put the medicine pestle on the table, and there were about a dozen fresh olives in it. Just pound it so hard.
"If I remember correctly, just mash it like this, and you can extract a lot of olive oil from it. Then this used olive pomace. It can be used as fertilizer for crops, and if it is placed in a marsh pond, it has another wonderful use. ”
Now Shen Anan doesn't think about power generation, but does power energy. Things are done one by one, and the meal must be eaten in one bite.
Lao Zhuang didn't pay attention to Shen An'an's words later, thinking that the rest was rubbish. Except for planting trees, it should not be of much use.
Shen An'an pounded it for about ten minutes, and those green olive fruits began to separate. Even the kernel inside the olive was directly crushed by the pestle.
formed, sticky paste-like stuff.
However, what is more amazing is that when Shen Anan grinded the medicine pestle in the medicine bowl at an increasing speed, a layer of golden oil slowly rose on it.
"Okay, you come and take a look, as long as this slowly sinks to the bottom, the amount of oil is relatively light, and it will slowly float to the surface."
Lao Zhuang took a look, didn't he? I saw that the surface of the pestle really had a layer of oil, about the thickness of a fingernail. It's still freshly made, and if you really let them sink a little bit, or squeeze them a little more, the oil that comes out might be better.
"Hey, I found that there was no foam in the oil."
"Yes, the olive oil made by this method does not destroy the nutrient layer inside. As long as the oil is sealed and canned, a barrel of oil can generally be used for two to three years. ”
Shen An'an's words made Lao Zhuang feel like he had read for ten years, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly. "What if I change this to a grinding disc?"
"It's okay, but I don't think we can get fresh olive oil if we're here. It's better for us to make vegetable oil, such as camellia oil, and some flowers and plants can be used to refine oil. ”
Shen An'an no longer thinks about the refining of essential oils, because Lao Zhuang can fully provide the amount of oil she needs. What she thinks about is what to do with the oil cakes. Seeing the scale of Lao Zhuang's place, he should often get out of these plant wastes. If you collect them all together, it can also come in handy.
"Uncle Zhuang, where did you put all the used oil residue?"
Seeing that Shen Anan was asking, Lao Zhuang hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed out the window. "They all fell into the pond behind them to feed the fish. Let me tell you, my fish have grown fatter since eating these things. ”
"That's a good idea, but you can't eat too many of these fish, or you're going to die." Shen Anan muttered to himself.
"If you're not afraid of trouble, uncle, you can fry these fried oil cakes in those logs in the future. The oil that comes out here can be used to cook vegetables. You can help me put the rest of the scum in the vat, let them ferment naturally, and when they are so full, you have someone to inform me, and I may have to come in handy. ”
As Shen Anan spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured towards the pool in front of him that was dozens of square meters square.
"Okay, whatever you say in the future, I'll just do it. Hey, how well you read and how well-informed. ”
was praised in front of others, and Shen Anan's face was still a little thin. "It's a coincidence that I'm also coincidental, because when I came, I specifically asked someone for advice."
"No wonder, but you're amazing." Lao Zhuang said with a smile.
Shen An'an's words also dispelled the doubts in Shen Anxiu's heart. Because of what she said today, she couldn't interject at all, so she could only listen to it stupidly and write it down in her heart.
Next, Shen Anan went to see the oil depot of Lao Zhuang, but he didn't expect that Lao Zhuang really took this matter as a thing. There are about five or six kinds of large and small bottles and cans.
The most abundant of these are camellia oil and olive oil. Flower oil is not, there is also some cinnamon oil and soybean oil.
Shen Anan bought ten catties of camellia oil on the spot. Twenty catties of olive oil, and another twenty catties of soybean oil. Soybean oil is eaten when I go back to cook vegetables. Shen Anan told Lao Zhuang that he could use some flowers to squeeze oil and see the effect.
Lao Zhuang agreed, Shen Anan wanted to give Lao Zhuang silver, but Lao Zhuang refused to accept it. Unexpectedly, they made too much noise in front, which alarmed Mrs. Zhuang and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family who lived in the backyard.
Mrs. Zhuang is about 50 years old, and her face has obvious nasolabial folds and wrinkles. He was not very tall, and he was about the same as a woman in an ordinary family. It's not kind, and it's not particularly enthusiastic.
