Chapter 362: Hammer It
Not only Zhang Sijiu is looking forward to it, but in fact, Zhang Xiaoshan is also looking forward to it.
Reluctantly put down his hand, Zhang Xiaoshan turned his head to look at Yang Yuanding's gaze, still the same eager: "Can you really make oil that people eat? It's the same as sesame oil?"
Yang Yuanding shrank back a little by this gaze, and was also a little nervous: Although we all know that rapeseed oil is squeezed from rapeseed, but! He hasn't done this before, if he doesn't succeed, then how can he face Zhang Xiaoshan!
Zhang Sijiu calmly grabbed Zhang Xiaoshan: "Just try it."
Zhang Xiaoshan realized that he was overzealous, and hurriedly rubbed his hands and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, just try it."
He couldn't wait to exert all his strength: "San Lang, *** what? Just call! What I have is strength!"
Yang Yuanding waved his hand: "Don't use your strength yet. Let's fry first, then steam!"
Stir-frying rapeseed is a technical job, Yang Yuanding quietly said to Zhang Sijiu, "Jiuniang, I'm a little nervous. I've never done this before. If it doesn't work out — I'll tell you the truth, I've just watched documentaries and listened to them before."
Zhang Sijiu was actually nervous.
But Dr. Zhang said that the more this time, the more you can't panic, even if you panic, you have to hold back, take out a mask called calm and put it on!
She patted Yang Yuanding: "Don't panic, the oil is inside, as long as you squeeze it, it will definitely come out!" If it doesn't work once, let's try a hundred times! If you can't do it in one year, it's two years! This is a generational change, how can it be so easy?"
With Zhang Sijiu's comfort, Yang Yuanding was obviously more confident, and began to prepare in an orderly manner according to the process that had been written down a long time ago.
Stir-frying rapeseed is obviously a technical job, and he has never done it, so when Yang Yuanding asked Zhang Xiaoshan to do it, Zhang Xiaoshan was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated and waved his hand: "I can't, I won't, I don't dare."
If he wants to work hard, he can't do technical work! What to do if it goes bad!
In the end, Zhang Sijiu rolled up his sleeves.
There were not many rapeseeds in the first wave of trials, and an ordinary spatula was enough.
The pot is a special iron pot, and the shovel is also specially made.
Burning the fire made Zhang Xiaoshan responsible - he is good at this. After all, from childhood to adulthood, from burning the fire for the old lady to burning the fire for the wife, there are countless experiences!
Zhang Sijiu took out the composure and caution of the operation, and kept stirring the rapeseed in the pot, trying to make them heat evenly, so that some places would not be heated, and some places would be already mush.
However, I don't know if there is a problem with the method, I fried for more than ten minutes, and the rapeseed in the pot has not changed at all. It seems that it is not rapeseed that is fried, but some pebble.
Zhang Xiaoshan and Yang Yuanding's confidence was a little hit.
Yang Yuanding couldn't help but be anxious: "Is there something wrong with it?"
Zhang Sijiu thought for a while: "Second uncle, try to get bigger."
Afraid of frying the rapeseed, Zhang Sijiu didn't dare to let Zhang Xiaoshan burn the fire too vigorously at the beginning, and kept using a small fire.
Zhang Xiaoshan followed the instructions and burned the fire vigorously.
So, after another quarter of an hour or so, there was finally a reaction in the pot - the shell of the rapeseed exploded a little, making a slight "beep-beep" sound.
At the same time, some rapeseed is a bit mushy.
Zhang Sijiu hurriedly asked Zhang Xiaoshan to suppress the fire and reuse the small fire.
Slowly, a smell began to waft out of the pot.
Zhang Sijiu felt that this smell vaguely seemed to be smelled somewhere.
After thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly realized: Isn't it just the smell wafting out of the oil mill!
Zhang Sijiu was overjoyed in his heart, but looked at Yang Yuanding quietly on his face: "Come, you take a few and try them to see if you can pinch out the oil."
Yang Yuanding nervously and expectantly reached into the pot, and grabbed it quickly at a speed that everyone didn't have time to stop - and then burned his hands.
Zhang Sijiu: ...... The children of rich and noble families really have no common sense of life.
In the end, this job came from Zhang Xiaoshan.
The same goes for Zhang Xiaoshan
I reached directly into the pot, but only pinched a few, not only did I not burn, but my face did not change.
Yang Yuanding looked impressed.
Zhang Xiaoshan crushed the rapeseed with his fingers.
Then his eyes widened, "It's oily! It's oily! It's really oily!"
Although the old style also pressed out the oil before, the old style only felt the oil, and it was not so much to the naked eye.
But now!! That little bit of golden grease hung on Zhang Xiaoshan's fingernails, it was so brilliant, so obvious, so amazing!
Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't even restrain himself from sniffing - but he didn't smell anything.
After all, there are only a few of them, what can you smell?
Zhang Sijiu and Yang Yuanding couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw that little bit of golden grease, and at the same time saw the hope of successful oil extraction! With this oil, no matter what the final oil yield is, but at least it is certain that this oil can be squeezed out!
Yang Yuanding clasped his hands together and thanked God and the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas seriously: "Thank God, thank God."
I thought it was going to fail! After all, who would have thought that rapeseed would have to be fried for so long!
The first step is done, and the next step is the next step.
The second step is grinding.
The stone mill used for grinding, Zhang Xiaoshan saw the finely crushed rapeseed, but he didn't see much oil, and he was a little disappointed: "It doesn't seem to have much oil——"
Yes, grinding like this only grinds the rapeseed, but in fact, there is no grease that is squeezed out by the grinding.
Yang Yuanding explained with a smile: "There will definitely be no oil now, if it is so easy, then the oil will not be precious."
Milling is just one of the steps, followed by steaming the bran and pressing the oil.
However, Yang Yuanding only knew that he wanted to mix a little coarse bran, but he didn't know the proportion, so he didn't dare to add a lot, so he only added a little bit into it. Then the ground rapeseed was poured into the trough, barely made into embryo cakes, and then put into the steamer to steam.
In fact, at this time, it is completely blind and touching the elephant. No one knows the specific method, purely relying on the documentaries that Yang Yuanding has watched to imitate - imitation can only imitate a rough idea. After all, it's been a long time, and Yang Yuanding doesn't remember a lot of things.
After steaming for a short while, Yang Yuanding took out the steamed embryo, used dry straw as a rope, wrapped the cake embryo, and then put it into the press tank for hammering and pressing.
There were six pie embryos.
The six bait embryos look a little shabby.
Yang Yuanding gave the wooden hammer to Zhang Xiaoshan, and was very solemn: "Second uncle, come on." Hammer it! Hammer it with all your might!"
Whether you can produce oil or not, it's one move!
Zhang Sijiu also looked a little dignified.
But the most nervous is Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan held the wooden hammer, his whole person was tense, and his face carried a solemnity and seriousness about what he was going to do: "That...... I hammered it?"
"Hammer!" Zhang Sijiu and Yang Yuanding spoke in unison!
