Chapter 343: Ancient Oil Extraction
The matter of illegal sand washing came to an end, and in the afternoon, the program "Let's Go" began to be officially recorded again.
There are not only fruit trees planted this year, but also many original camellia trees.
The Double Ninth Festival has passed, and the cold dew season is a good time to pick tea.
The program team also intends to promote this aspect and promote the sales of camellia oil in Meicheng.
Meicheng Camellia oleifera is also known as wild Camellia oleifera.
Camellia oleifera is a unique woody oil tree species in the south, the world's four major woody edible oil trees, and Huaguo's camellia oil is known as the olive oil of the East, but in fact, the dual function of dietary therapy is actually superior to olive oil.
In addition to the similarity of nutrients, tea oil also contains specific physiologically active substances such as tea polyphenols and tea saponins, which are not found in olive oil.
It is a pity that the unique excellent native tree species wild tea has a high initial investment due to the long-term lack of excellent new varieties, poor management, and high initial investment. There are also reasons such as lack of public awareness and lack of policy support, and the camellia industry has not developed smoothly.
Many of them are places in the south where there is a kind of camellia oleifera, and the locals know that it is good, and the camellia oil at home is not enough to eat, so they will buy some to eat.
Few outsiders know about its existence.
This time, the five guests put on sunhats, incarnated as local tea pickers, and put on gloves on their backs to start picking tea.
This Camellia oleifera tree is not tall, it is a shrub, and it is easy to pick.
In addition to the tea on the tree, the ripe camellia will naturally fall to the ground, and everything on the ground must also be picked up.
In the past, sometimes after someone else's family picked a round of camellia, people who did not grow camellia at home would take a bag to pick up the leakage on the ground on the mountain, and they could also pick up a bag at the end of the day, and squeeze a dozen catties of oil to eat at home.
In the recording of this show, Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang also picked tea together.
The guests asked, and they came to answer the way to introduce to the public.
Wang Yanmei also said: "Tea oil is very precious to us, and these days, the dishes at home are also fried with tea oil. ”
"No wonder, I feel that the fried vegetables taste different, not only because the vegetables are delicious, but also because of a very fragrant taste, which turns out to be tea oil." Wen Hao sighed.
"Not only is the oil and the food good, but also the skill of my aunt in stir-frying." Xia Weiwei boasted.
made Wang Yanmei laugh embarrassedly, and said modestly: "Where, where." ”
After everyone picked the tea for a while, the program team arranged to go to the camellia workshop to explore how camellia oil is produced.
However, the picked camellia seeds have to be dried to dry it, so that the oil yield is high, and the outer skin is turned into a flower, and it is rolled out like petals, revealing a petal-by-petal black fruit inside, and the fruit is oil-extracted.
The freshly picked camellia seeds of the boss's family naturally cannot be extracted.
This show is mainly for the popularization of science Camellia oleifera, and what I watched was the camellia seeds of other people.
This time coincides with the harvest season of Camellia oleifera, and Camellia oleifera workshops are waiting in line to squeeze it.
The guests stood there and watched, chatting with the owner of the camellia shop from time to time.
The camellia seeds should first be cleaned and impurities, hulled, and the tea kernels can be steamed and fried before the oil can be squeezed.
The machine is like a pressure cooker after simmering rice, after squeezing out the oil, it is precipitated and filtered, and the orange-yellow clean and impurity-free camellia oil is ready.
For such a bundle, the Camellia Workshop only charges a processing fee of 15 yuan per bundle.
The audience not only watched the modern oil extraction method with the guests, but also decided to go to the ancient oil mill when the program team knew that there was an ancient folk oil mill in the village.
In this era of rapid development of the information economy, sometimes the food you eat in restaurants is pre-made dishes. All the pace of life seems to be accelerating, and it also makes people's hearts yearn for the previous human era with simplicity and no additives.
As soon as you enter the ancient oil mill, you can see large wooden shelves. The environment for oil extraction is naturally not as clean and bright as the shopping malls in the city, but it can't help but remind people of the feeling of childhood.
Every link of oil extraction is done by hand, which is undoubtedly a labor-intensive manual work.
The owner of the oil mill is a young man in his twenties, and he also temporarily knew that the program team was coming, so he nervously wiped his sweat on his trouser leg in front of the live broadcast camera before shaking hands with Liu PD, "Welcome to come." ”
Seeing the boss so young, Wen Hao was a little surprised.
After all, the ancient folk method of oil extraction and young people don't seem to be able to get along.
Living in the village during this time, he also knew a little about it, most of the people in the village were middle-aged and elderly, and there were hardly any young people in sight.
Wen Hao opened his mouth and asked, "Boss, how did you think about doing this?" ”
The owner of the oil mill smiled: "This craft was passed down from my grandfather's grandfather's generation, my dad had an accident in a car accident the year before last, my grandfather was old and in poor health, I grew up in this environment when I was a child, there is no reason to give up this, so I quit my job and went home to do this, just to take care of my family." ”
"Can that make money?" Wen Hao asked.
"Fortunately, I can live at home, and I will do some other business." The owner of the oil mill laughed.
didn't sell miserably in front of the camera, which made Wen Hao feel a little admiration in his heart.
You must know that in the past, when participating in this kind of show, many people would choose to sell miserably, so that the products would sell better. It's not that those people are wrong, it's all human nature, and life is really not very good, and I just want to sell more products and make more money.
It's just that this boss has such an optimistic attitude, which makes people feel rare.
"Then I'll take you through the process of oil extraction." The owner of the oil mill stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to go this way.
The process of oil extraction in ancient methods is much more complicated, and each link is a test of craftsmanship.
The boss introduced: "For example, when roasting tea seeds, it should be in a state where there is no water and cannot be scorched, the sieving powder should be fine, the heat should be appropriate, and the oil should be squeezed in time, and the effort should be in place." Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may not be able to squeeze out the oil or produce less oil. ”
The guests followed into a room, which was a large stove in the countryside, which was heated and baked, damp and fried with firepower, and it was here that we should pay attention to the size of the fire.
"It's stir-frying tea seeds." The boss said.
When you go out of the room, you can see a stone mill in a courtyard.
The boss said: "This used to be a grinding room, and we used to use this kind of stone grinding disc, manpower and cattle to pull the mill. Now we rarely use it, and we will directly use the electric powder machine, which saves time and effort. ”
Further inside, there is the steam room.
An earthen stove with steamers on top.
"In this way, the raw material will be turned into mature material, and the oil will be separated, and after steaming, it should be made into tea cakes while it is hot."
A few guests were taken to another room, and everyone was shown a little modern tool.
The boss explained: "In the past, most of the ancient methods of oil extraction were made by manpower to trample the tea cakes with their feet. But I always feel that it is not appropriate, especially now that young people like me are actually paying attention to whether the food in their mouths is clean or not, which is definitely not good if customers see that the oil they eat is trampled on before it is made. ”
"The reason why I was inspired to make this machine is that I watched a short video before, such as the old method of making cane sugar, the old method is to never wash the sugarcane and send it directly into the machine to squeeze the juice, a young man he felt that it was not clean so he made the machine to automatically clean the sugarcane before squeezing, so I also made this cake pressing machine according to my experience for so many years, so it is much more convenient and clean."
Wen Hao said: "That is actually equivalent to combining technology and ancient methods to make it more suitable for the current market." ”
The boss nodded, "Yes." ”
The last room is to put the tea cakes into the press trough of the wood press, and the tea cakes must be placed neatly and smoothly, otherwise the oil may not be squeezed.
Once all the tea cakes are placed, corks, wedges and piles are inserted
Next, it is to rely on manpower to pull back and forth to hit the pile, relying on the force of squeezing, it plays the role of physical pressing oil cake, in fact, this is the basic principle of ancient oil extraction.
In the picture of the live broadcast room, I saw the physically pressed tea oil overflowing from the oil cake like raindrops, gathering together and flowing into the large wooden barrel outside the press from the oil outlet at the side of the squeeze.
This kind of local method of squeezing tea oil is actually difficult to see in modern times.
The boss even said unabashedly: "In fact, I also have a modern oil mill, after all, such an ancient method of oil extraction process is cumbersome, but some of the older generation are still reluctant to do this, and will come to me to squeeze." The people you just saw were all people from the village who came to help, and they wanted to squeeze oil like this and eat it deliciously, so I never left it behind and didn't take their money. As long as someone needs a day, I do it for a day. ”
Those men who were busy knew that it was a recording show, and they all squeezed over and said thank you Xiao Li.
"Over the years, we have come to squeeze oil, and Xiao Li has confiscated our money."
"Yes, in fact, there are not many businesses to make money in the village, and Xiao Li has really not had an easy time these years."
An old man said: "If it weren't for the fact that there was still an oil extractor in the village, we would have to go all the way to extract oil, which is very troublesome." ”
"You are recording the show, can you help us publicize more, our tea oil here is actually very good."
"Yes, today's squeeze is my family's oil, you can scoop a few catties and try it."
The online audience in the live broadcast room swiped the barrage.
[This kind of ancient method of oil extraction is really rare, my mother took me to see it when I was a child, and the smell of oil is still there in my memory. Now there is no oil extraction in the village, and you have to go to the oil mill in the town. 】
[Now there are fewer people in the village, and there are even fewer people who extract oil, and the oil mill in the village is not profitable at all. 】
[Just like the school, now the primary school in the village is gone, there are fewer people, there is no way to unify these resources in the town, and all the people in the seven miles and eight townships go to the town to squeeze. 】
[I hope this boss can persevere, at least don't let this craft be lost.] 】
[Does anyone know how much this tea oil costs a pound, I want to buy some to try? ] 】
[In fact, the oil mill can also rely on the tea withered rapeseed cake to sell some money, let the boss sell it directly online, I grow strawberries to make enzyme fertilizer and buy it every year. 】
[If you buy camellia oil, it is very expensive, the price is different in each place, our side is more than fifty pounds and it is cheap, such as camellia oil quality is very good in areas are more than seventy, or even more than eighty pounds. 】
[In fact, the main reason is that everyone doesn't trust things on the Internet very much, and they don't know whether the quality is good or not.] 】
[Yes, even the dishes of Fuwang Farm were questioned at the beginning, there is a test report in the back, and it is really delicious, everyone has bought things so many times, and they have never turned over the car, so there is a scene where everyone is rushing to buy now. 】
To put it bluntly, it doesn't hurt if you buy something cheap, but it's too expensive, and the cost of trying it is too high. The devil knows whether the things sold online are conscience or not, and there are many black-hearted merchants.
Wen Hao worked in Fuwang Farm for a few days, and knew that it was very popular to bring goods online, so he asked the boss: "Do you have a store online?" ”
The boss shook his head, "Most of the villagers in the neighborhood come to squeeze the oil, and after squeezing the oil, those tea withered and rapeseed cakes, whoever wants to take them, and those who want to give money will look at it." ”
"Then you can open a store online, and it just so happens that our show will help you promote it." Seinfeld said.
Huo Fengze, who has always talked little: "Our current program is Yunqi Live, and you can apply for a store directly on Yunqi Live." ”
The boss is a young man, and he has a high acceptance of these, but he didn't think about it before, after all, there are so many stores on the Internet, and no one will pay attention to it at all.
The boss also knew that the show was intended to be promoted, so he immediately agreed, he took out his mobile phone to download the app, and submitted the business license and other information.
The review of Yunqi Live was very fast, and the store quickly passed.
The "Xiao Li Oil Mill" store is online.
He put everything he had in the store on the shelves.
Tea withered, 5 catties 15 yuan. Peanut bran, 5 catties 15 yuan. Rapeseed cake, 5 catties 15 yuan. Camellia oil, 75 yuan for 1 catty, is not free of charge.
He sold at this price, and he came at a very authentic price, and he deliberately increased the price without seeing the program publicity.
The online audience base of the "Let's Go" program is here, and many people are pouring into the store to buy it. Although it is not the boss's thing, this show did play some promotional role.
Fishermen can make nests when they buy them, and they can make fertilizer when they buy vegetables, after all, peanut bran is a good organic fertilizer.
Although camellia oil is expensive, it is indeed at this price, not only the audience grabbed it, but the five guests who could know it at the first time also snapped up dozens of catties to express their support.
Especially Wen Hao, although he doesn't cook in the crew all the year round, he tasted the food at the boss's house, and knew that it was fried in camellia oil, and this tea oil was so healthy, so he thought about buying some for his family, and bought a hundred catties in one go, anyway, it wasn't bad for money.
After Xiao Li launched the product, he was shocked when he saw that the backstage had been sold out.
Carrying the live broadcast room on his back, he couldn't hold back the tears.
In order to come back to take care of his grandfather and father, he gave up earning 10,000 yuan a month at the city construction site, and barely lived on the oil mill over the years, and went out to do small jobs from time to time, planting some rice and vegetables.
This is the economic effect of the era of traffic, some people pay attention, and sell everything quickly.
Nowadays, many markets are occupied by finished products sold by capitalists, but in this era, there are still a few people who insist on making original and good products.
