Chapter 4: Camellia oleifera, the way to make money
Ye Haoxuan and Ye Shuang'er glanced at each other, looking at Ye Aya'er who picked up the fruit on the ground with an excited face, isn't my sister stupid? What kind of treasure is this? People don't eat it, pigs dislike it.
Ye Aya'er didn't care about them, but looked up at the top of her head, which was full of fruits, and there were two more trees on the side, which were also full of fruits.
Looking at the fruit on the tree blankly, Ye Aya'er said, "Brother, I'll let you go to study again after I make money." ”
Ye Haoxuan looked at Ye Aya'er with a smile, walked over, and stretched out his hand to straighten the head she had been holding up: "Let's talk about it when you make money, have you seen it for a long time?" ”
Ye Aya'er turned her head to look at Ye Haoxuan and said seriously: "I saw a lot of silver flying in front of me. ”
"Poof." Ye Shuang'er couldn't help it, and was amused by her sister.
"Can this fruit be turned into money?"
"Of course you can, this fruit can be squeezed for oil, and it is better than rapeseed oil, I don't know how much." Ye Aya'er said excitedly.
The oil squeezed out of the camellia fruit can be sold for dozens of dollars a pound in modern times, and I don't know how much more expensive than other oils, she remembers that there are records in ancient books, in ancient times, camellia oil was only used by nobles and rich people, and it must not be cheap.
The smile on Ye Haoxuan's face disappeared suddenly, and he walked to Ye Aya'er's side: "Really? ”
"Of course, I remember rapeseed oil is twenty yuan a catty, if it is tea oil, it is forty or fifty yuan." Ye Aya'er said firmly.
Ye Shuang'er was suddenly excited: "Really? ”
"Well, we have to find a way to get all these fruits back now, there happen to be a lot of them on the ground, brother, let's pick some back first, and call my cousin to pick them together tomorrow." Ye Aya'er looked around, there were no extra Camellia oleifera trees, there were only two or three of them, they had better get all the fruits back, and first get some oil to squeeze out for everyone to taste today, and then they could pick them together.
If people know that this thing can be squeezed and sold for money, I'm afraid it won't be their turn at that time.
"Okay."
The three brothers and sisters quickly picked up the two back baskets, and the three of them hurriedly took them back, and after arriving home, Ye Aya'er began to deal with the camellia Guo in her hand.
It is necessary to hull first, and then the camellia seeds are processed well before the oil can be extracted.
The family heard that this thing could squeeze oil, although they were suspicious, but it did not dampen Ye Aya'er's self-confidence and helped her deal with camellia fruit.
In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Aya'er looked at the processed camellia seeds and said to Zhou Cuiyun on the side: "Mother, do you know where you can squeeze oil?" ”
"The village can extract oil."
"Who's from it?" Ye Aya'er subconsciously asked, she didn't want someone to watch from the side when she was squeezing oil, and there would be no secrets at that time.
She also plans to make a fortune with tea oil first.
"That's for public use, whoever wants to squeeze the oil just goes by themselves." Zhou Cuiyun waved his hand and said.
When Ye Aya'er heard this, she was immediately satisfied: "Then we'll go now." ”
This time the family went, when the camellia seeds were put in, the family was breathing, and when the golden and fragrant oil came out, Ye Shuang'er's eyes were excited: "Mother, it's oily, it's really oily." ”
Zhou Cuiyun is also very excited, this oil is very good at first glance, maybe it can really make money?
"Mother tonight at the feet of my uncle's family to eat, by the way to tell them about this in the evening, tomorrow we will go up the mountain together to pick the fruit, only two or three trees of camellia fruit, our family to take this opportunity to make money first, if people know, I am afraid that this fruit will not be our turn to pick." Ye Aya'er frowned and said.
Ye Haoxuan nodded approvingly: "Aya'er's worries are not unreasonable, I have to discuss them with my cousin tonight." ”
"Okay."
That night, Ye Changsheng's brother Ye Changlin brought the family over: "What's wrong with my father?" Hao Xuan said that he was looking for us for something, but he didn't make it clear. ”
"It's Aya'er, I found a kind of fruit in the mountains, you can squeeze oil, the taste is very fragrant, Aya'er said let you taste the taste, if it is suitable, you and your brother and two families go to pick the fruit back, and after squeezing the oil, sell it, and sell it for money, you can exempt both families from military service." Ye Kun opened his mouth and said.
Ye Changlin looked at his younger brother: "Really? ”
"Really, brother, you see this is the oil we squeezed today, and the fragrance and color are better than rapeseed oil." Ye Changsheng went to take out the oil he squeezed today and showed it to them.
Ye Changlin's wife was a little surprised when she saw this tea oil: "Really, this oil tastes really fragrant, and it seems to be a floral fragrance." ”
"Well, I heard my sister say that this is a white tea tree, also called oil tea, and the fruit can be squeezed for oil."
Ye Ziming looked at the oil excitedly: "Brother, let's go with Haoxuan tomorrow." ”
"Okay."
While the two families were talking, Zhou Cuiyun and Sister Ye Aya'er had already prepared the meal.
Eating the dishes fried in tea oil, not to mention that the fried vegetables are much better than the rapeseed oil and lard.
"Then do it, we'll go at dawn tomorrow, and we can't let anyone know about this matter for the time being." Ye Changlin is not stupid, if he is seen, there will be nothing to do with the two of them.
Conscription is coming soon, and they can't let their children die.
People are selfish, and even if they want to help others, they must only talk about it after their own situation has improved.
"Daddy is right." Ye Ziming kept nodding.
After the two families summed up, most of the big stone in their hearts was gone, and now they are waiting for the fruit to come back and squeeze the oil.
The next morning, the two families went up the mountain together, Ye Ziming and his brother Ye Zifeng climbed the tree like monkeys, shaking constantly, and the ripe camellia fruit kept falling.
After waiting for about a while, Ye Aya'er asked them to stop, and everyone picked it up together.
After picking the fruit almost, Ye Aya'er and the others began to process the fruit, and the first batch of oil came out, about more than 30 catties.
Looking at the full tea oil, Ye Aya'er had deep thought in her eyes.
"Aya'er, what are you thinking?" Ye Shuang'er asked.
"I want to go to town tomorrow, and after we squeeze the oil, we will see if we can sell it." If you can't sell it, it's for nothing.
And she doesn't know if the people here can read the goods.
If she meets someone who doesn't know the goods, she just has no place to cry.
When the family heard Ye Aya'er's words, they were silent, yes, they only cared about picking fruits and squeezing oil, but they forgot whether they could sell them.
"Okay, tomorrow Aya'er and Haoxuan will go to the town to have a look." Ye Kun nodded in agreement.
The two Ye Ziming brothers did not have any objections, they didn't know anything about this matter, Haoxuan had read books and knew more than them.
