[289] Oil extraction
The container used for oil extraction has already been made by Shen Nong, but it has not been taken out and used.
A few Huangqiu people were called to help him move the containers out of the big cave, all of which were made of stone, with a groove in the upper part of the container, which was specially used to store the rapeseed taken after drying.
In the center of the groove, there is a fist-sized round hole, which is used to leak oil to the lower half of the container, and below this round hole, there is a net made of black rattan woven by Shen Nong specifically for Lero, and the function of this net is to filter impurities and only let the pure oil flow to the bottom.
Inside the lower part of the container is a stone barrel dedicated to storing the leaked pure oil.
When the stone container was moved out of the big cave, Shen Nong asked the clansmen to move the bone pot out, because he had always had the idea of squeezing oil, so all the rape flowers sent by the Huatian tribe were taken out by him early to dry, and now they are very dry, and these dried rape flowers can just let Shen Nong
Ready-to-use use.
Seeing Shen Nong tossing such a big movement, the clansmen who were still in the Huangqiu tribe were all attracted one after another.
"Go and help me add firewood and burn the pot. Shen Nong instructed, and he himself picked up the dried rape flowers, and then took them to the bone pot and beat them hard at the bottom of the pot.
I saw that a large number of black round grains continued to fall off on the sun-dried rape flowers, and all of them fell into the bone pot, Shen Nong concocted the rest of the rape flower seeds into the bone pot, and soon there was more than half a pot of black flower seeds in the bone pot.
As the fire under the pot continued to burn, the temperature of the bone pot soon heated up rapidly, and Shen Nong could feel a wave of heat coming from his face when he stood by the pot.
"Add more wood and make the fire bigger. Shen Nong shouted to the clansmen, and then he took a bone shovel and stirred it vigorously in the bone pot.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The black flower seeds were stirred by Shen Nong, and there was a harsh sound when they rubbed against the bone pot.
This step is the drying process, as long as this step is completed, Shen Nong can start the official oil extraction.
The whole drying process was extremely painful, so that Shen Nong, who was in charge of stirring, felt that he was back in the previous dry season, and in the end there was no way to be hot, so Shen Nong asked a clansman to take over his work, and Shen Nong was able to leave the range of the bone pot, let his body slowly, and breathe some fresh air by the way.
"Ahem. Shen Nong looked at the bone pot with a black face, but he was thinking about how long it would take to dry before it could be considered dry.
The steps of rape flower oil extraction were only what he accidentally saw from the town's oil mill when he was a child, and he himself did not know much about the detailed doorways.
After all, there are three hundred and sixty lines, and Xingxing has its own unique skills and experience, which cannot be learned by laymen after a few glances.
After about two hours, the clansmen who stirred the flower seeds changed six or seven, and only then did Shen Nong make a voice to make them stop what they were doing, baking in this high-temperature pot for so long, it should be considered baked.
Looking at the steaming flower seeds in the bone pot, Shen Nong nodded and said, "It's okay, put out the fire first." ”
"Yes. ”
Some people directly brought a bucket of water and poured it on the fire under the bone pot, and the entire flame was extinguished in an instant, and a large amount of green smoke floated out of the extinguished fire and spread.
At present, the temperature in the bone pot is very high, and the pot body is very hot, Shen Nong never dares to touch it with his own hands, so he can only wait until the temperature is slightly lower before taking out the flower seeds in the pot.
......
When the temperature in the pot drops almost the same, Shen Nong used a wooden scoop to spoon out the rapeseed seeds in the pot and put it in a wooden barrel, these rapeseed seeds are to be transferred to the stone container, the weight of rape seeds is quite heavy, Shen Nong transported two and a half barrels to all the rapeseed to the spoon clean, a non-falling all to transfer to the stone container, and then it is time to really squeeze the oil, as long as this step is successful, then the Huangqiu tribe will be able to use oil.
For the tools used to beat, Shen Nong chose the stone hammer harvested from a second-level warrior in the Mud Eel Tribe when he attacked the Mud Eel Tribe before.
Speaking of this stone hammer, Shen Nong had to pay a little more attention to it, because this was the first time he had seen this kind of blunt weapon type of weapon in this world, the weapons used by everyone in the past were either knives or spears, and the strange ones would have the shape of a cone, but generally these weapons have sharp characteristics, and they can easily cause wounds on the target's body, but the stone hammer is different, this weapon does not have a bit of sharpness, and it hurts people by swinging it violently.
And because the location of the Huangqiu tribe belongs to the primeval forest, where there are many trees and plants everywhere, it is not suitable for weapons that require a large attack to cause damage to the enemy, because this weapon is not practical, it is easy to be stuck by the branches and rattans on the top of the head when attacking the target, which affects the combat efficiency, so the weapons used in the general tribe are only spears and knives.
Although this stone hammer is not a conventional weapon, it is to bring convenience to Shen Nong's actions at this time, I saw the stone hammer smashed into the groove of the container one by one, and all those rape seeds were smashed flat and not pulled, jumping everywhere, many rape seeds were smashed by Shen Nong with a clicking sound, as if something was cracked and broken.
To do this kind of thing, Shen Nong must not be left alone, and soon some clansmen offered to replace Shen Nong's work, and Shen Nong gave it to them without hesitation.
After all, he is a witch no matter what he says, and it is too undignified to do this kind of thing in person, and for so long in the Huangqiu tribe, Shen Nong has always played an image that is close to the people and not high, so that the clansmen will neither be too afraid of him, nor too difficult to approach the public.
Seeing the clansmen holding hammers and smashing them there, I believe that it will not be long before signs of oil can be seen.
In the modern land of China, there is a way to snack that can be found anywhere, and that is barbecue.
Brush the meat through the bamboo skewers with a layer of oil, then put it on the charcoal fire and slowly roast it, and when the meat begins to taste, spray cumin powder, pepper, chili powder and other seasonings on it, and a bunch of barbecue is so simple and easy to make.
At present, there is about to have oil in the Huangqiu tribe, and if plants like cumin and pepper can be found, then the Huangqiu tribe may be able to recreate the 'barbecue era' in food.
As the old saying goes, there's nothing you can't do with one barbecue, and if you do, then two, which is a good thing.
