The sun rises and the moon sets, the back and forth are like shuttles, and the years are still the same. Lan Yi has really settled down these days, because according to the normal formation, if someone is here waiting to arrest their mother and son, the more than 20 days after coming back will be enough for those people to go back and forth to Meixian County and bring people to the door.

Lan Yi looked at the wood she had placed in the corner of the wall, these were originally prepared for her to jump out and escape into the back mountain if an enemy came to the door. In the past few days, she has walked back and forth several times by cutting grass, and she can quickly escape into the mountains and hide.

"Fortunately, it's useless, it seems that those people have given up." Thinking of the solemn expressions of the four people who searched for Yirou's mother and son in Qingshan Town, Meixian County, Lan Yi shook his head, there will always be a day when the clouds open and the moon will shine.

"Rolling ......" did not allow Lan Yi to think about it, the five little geese at her feet began to urge her to open the door, and her small body could make such a solemn tone, so that Lan Yi couldn't help but laugh every time she heard it.

The goose of a month has been clearly separated from the chicken, and the goose that has lost its fluff has also faded its childishness, with snow-white feathers and a long neck, and there is a sense of elegance between the movements. Unlike the chicks who only know how to find something to eat, these little geese have been taken by Yu'er to the stream a few times, and they will wait for Lan Yi to open the door every morning, and then line up to soak in the creek and walk day long.

"Go ahead, come back early." Lan Yi opened the door and let them out, looking at the door of his house, thinking about whether to open a hole in the door for the five of them to enter and exit conveniently, "Convenience is convenient, but this goose grows up, and the hole has to be dug bigger." ”

Thinking of a big hole in the door that was large enough for a goose to enter and exit, it could accommodate a person to climb in, where was there any sense of security.

When the door closes, the crisp sound of horses' hooves can be heard from far and near, breaking the quiet of the morning in the countryside.

"The sun hasn't come out so early in the morning, how can there be horses?" Lan Yi was afraid that Xia Wan was looking for something to find her, so she stood by the door and waited, a black horse appeared on the road outside the village, and a tall man immediately sat down, walking slowly.

Lan Yi saw in the morning light that the man was wearing a round-necked trapping suit, carrying a waist knife, looking like a dusty man, her heart "clicked", and she quickly closed the door.

Are you really afraid of something, could it be that the yamen sent someone to arrest yourself and your baby? However, seeing that he came alone, Lan Yi felt that he was still improvised, and it was up to him to see what was going on.

The catcher was afraid of disturbing the dreams of the villagers, so he slowed down the sound of the horse's hooves and approached. He is tall, wearing a fast catcher, thick eyebrows and beard that does not show his age, and a pair of eyes as sharp as a cheetah in the forest, like a soldier returning from killing the enemy on the battlefield, and his murderous aura exudes awe-inspiring righteousness.

He was surprised to see the five little white geese lining up on the side of the road and the petite woman who was half of her body showing by the door, but when he saw that the woman looked panicked, he quickly retreated and closed the door.

He couldn't help grinning, it had been a long time since he returned from the border pass, but the murderous and evil aura on his body was difficult to dissipate, and people were all stunned when they saw him for the first time. He dismounted and opened the gate of Lan Yi's house to the east, and led the horse in. Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Lan Yi's tense nerves relaxed, and he remembered that he should be the neighbor Chen talked about, Zhou Weiji, who was a fast catcher in the county seat.

Zhou Weiji hadn't returned home for a month, and the yard was overgrown with weeds and looked desolate. He seemed to have been accustomed to this scene, his expression did not change, he led the horse directly to the well, fetched water to let the black horse drink water first, this black horse followed him on the battlefield for many years, after several life and death, full of tacit understanding.

After the horse finished drinking the water, Zhou Weiji patted its neck and let it move freely in the courtyard to graze, and then fetched well water again, took off his shirt, and poured the dust off his body with cool well water. The two interlaced scars and a few arrow wounds on the wheat-colored sturdy and slender back show the master's battlefield career, even after many years, you can still see the thrilling time at that time.

Lan Yi has tried to hull the peony seeds these days, and the taste of the oil squeezed out without hulling is bitter. Peony seeds are smaller than lotus seeds, only larger than soybeans, because seven or eight peony seeds are tightly squeezed into a pod to grow up, and the shape is only semicircular or irregular, making the shell even more compact and difficult to peel. After the black-brown shell is peeled off, a layer of earthy yellow film is gently scraped off, revealing pale yellow peony seeds.

Peeling off the ten-pound peony seeds, Lan Yi fried the peony seeds and went directly to the village mill to grind the peony seeds and squeeze the oil, this is just a local method, but if she takes these peony seeds to the oil mill to extract oil, Lan Yi is afraid that the people in the oil mill will be able to recognize the peony seeds at a glance, thus ruining her plan to make money.

Ten catties of peony seeds in her simple operation, also squeezed out more than a pound of oil, Lan Yi remembered that the oil yield of peony seeds was about more than thirty percent, and the oil yield was still very considerable.

According to Lan Yi's survey, rapeseed is mostly used in Dazhou oil extraction, and the oil yield of rapeseed oil is more than 20%. The yield per mu of rape is similar to that of wheat and rice in the fields that can be irrigated, but because the price of rape is four Wen, which is cheaper than rice, wheat and millet, so farmers only grow rape in dry land, and the yield per mu is about 200 catties in the year when the rain is good.

Rapeseed oil sells for 15 to 20 wen a pound, which is already a considerable price. Peony seed oil is more fragrant than rapeseed oil, the color is more beautiful, similar to the color of olive oil, and the fragrance of stir-fried vegetables is better than rapeseed oil.

Lan Yi thought about it for two days, and went to the second uncle's house with oil in the evening. She didn't plan to make money by herself, the second uncle's family treated her well, seeing that the second uncle's family was having a hard time, now that she had something to make money, she naturally wanted to take them with her. Moreover, in addition to the Liu family, the second uncle's family is a good partner.

Lan Yi said hello to the second uncle, asked Yu'er to take the baby to play with Dafu, and went into the kitchen to help the second aunt Li cook.

"What's going on today, why are the dishes fried twice?" Second Uncle Wang looked at the shredded pork fried garlic moss and vegetarian fried vegetables on the table, and put two portions of each, and two bowls of pickled radishes.

"Father-in-law, this is my sister-in-law's idea, saying that let's try which of these two stir-fried vegetable oils is better." Liu quickly interjected, she didn't know what Lan Yi was going to do, she just liked to join in the fun.

"What the third brother and sister said is, second uncle, each dish is the same except for the oil, what is the difference between everyone trying this oil?" Lan Yi smiled and said, "Let's not eat at the same table today." ”

Men and women have different seats, and the second uncle's family eats at the second uncle on weekdays, which is also divided into two tables for men and women, Lan Yi asked the second aunt to put the food on the big table in order to discuss the next things today, and everyone hugged the children to eat together.

After the second uncle's family tasted it, Lan Yi asked everyone to talk about the difference in this oil.

The second uncle and the second aunt glanced at each other, and the second aunt Li pointed to a plate of pickles and said hesitantly: "It's all very fragrant, this pickle is more delicious." ”

Lin Xi saw everyone, his face turned red, and then he shook his head: "What my mother said is that they are all very fragrant." ”

Chen Shi looked at his man's uncomfortable appearance, and hurriedly spoke: "On weekdays, we have less stir-frying vegetables and less oil, and today's vegetable oil is naturally better than the usual ones." ”

Lan Yi nodded and looked at Lin Yuan again. Lin Yuan carefully reminisced, pointed to the dish with peony seed oil and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the oil we eat for stir-frying, what kind of oil is this?" It's not sesame seeds, it's not meat oil, it doesn't taste like it. I haven't tasted it before, but it seems to taste more. ”

"The third brother is right." Lan Yi didn't expect that it was Lin Yuan who tasted the difference, and what he said was almost professional.

Liu said proudly: "That's right, Erniu's father was apprenticed with the shopkeeper in the big inn in the county, and I haven't tasted anything." ”

Lan Yi was a little surprised: "There is such a thing? ”

Lin Yuan nodded: "Sister-in-law, it's all in the past, and if something happens, you won't go." ”

"Humph! It's not those people who make bad intentions ......" Liu opened his mouth unevenly, but was stopped by Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Let's hurry up and eat, sister-in-law must have something to say later, right?" Lin Yuan diverted the topic.

Since Lin Yuan didn't want to say, Lan Yi didn't have the idea of inquiring, she fed the baby and ate, let a few children play together, and asked the second aunt to help watch, Liu and Chen also went into the kitchen to wash dishes.

The second uncle and Lin Xilin sat in the hall, waiting for Lan Yi to explain today's events.

"Second uncle, the oil for stir-frying, one is the rapeseed oil we use on weekdays, and the other is the peony seed oil that I squeeze from peony seeds." Lan Yi opened his mouth to get straight to the topic, "I entered the county a few days ago and inquired that we didn't use peony seeds to extract oil here, so I had this idea. This peony seed oil tastes good, the price of peony seeds is cheap, only one and a half pounds, which is much lower than rapeseed, but the oil is more than rapeseed. I thought that we might as well open an oil mill to extract oil, and we would definitely make a profit. ”

"The taste of this oil is okay, but this oil mill costs a lot of silver, and it is not easy to get it." Second Uncle Wang said contemplatively.

Lin Yuan also spoke: "Sister-in-law, this idea is successful. But we don't have the capital, and we are not familiar with this oil mill, so it is not easy to get it. ”
