The problem of the experimental team was successfully solved, and the time entered the golden autumn of September.

The weather finally returned to normal, and the autumn rains began at the beginning of the month, which also allowed the crops to be nourished when they finally ripened.

After that, Xia Ning began to carry out the autumn harvest with the villagers.

This month is destined to be extremely busy, even heavier than the previous summer harvest tasks.

The villagers first harvested summer potatoes, then potatoes, then rape flowers, and finally cotton, and more than that, after harvesting this wave, the villagers planted the second crop of autumn rape flowers, followed by sugar cane.

In addition, the village also grows a series of seasonal vegetables, including radish, cabbage, edamame, rape, eggplant, pepper and so on.

In short, since the beginning of September, the whole base has not stopped, and every day is a busy scene.

It wasn't until around mid-September that Xia Ning took a breath.

Although she doesn't have to go to the fields every day to do farm work like the villagers, she basically shuttles between the fields every day, mainly to coordinate the autumn harvest situation in various areas, help everyone deal with various problems in a timely manner, and sometimes she will work with the villagers, or drive to do transportation work for everyone.

In addition to her, other people in the Song family will also participate in the autumn harvest team whenever they are free, so to speak, everyone in the family is hands-on and truly integrated into the lives of the common people.

Undoubtedly, their behavior has also been praised and praised by the people of the whole base, and the villagers also feel sincerely happy and happy to have such a leader family.

Of course, everyone is even more proud to have such a leader!

After working for more than half a month, the crops in the field were finally harvested, and the remaining ten days, the main task was to plant vegetables.

In the follow-up autumn planting task, Xia Ning didn't participate too much, because she had more important things to do: mustard oil!

The first wave of rape flowers in the village has been harvested and put into storage, and the next step is to press the rapeseed into oil as soon as possible, so as not to be damp and deteriorate after being left for a long time.

This is Xia Ning's first attempt at rapeseed oil, when she lived in the countryside with her grandmother, she saw many pictures of oil extraction on the scene, but she never got started.

Fortunately, they had downloaded some agriculture-related videos on their tablets before, including a video of rapeseed oil, and combined with what she had seen and heard before, she immediately launched a series of actions.

Xia Ning wants to build a modern township-style oil mill, such a simple workshop is more suitable for the current developing base, and too much mechanization can not make the base people fully adapt.

And such a rural oil mill is relatively simple and fast to build, and it can be basically completed in three days, of course, such an old-fashioned oil mill does not need too many tools and equipment, as long as the site is spacious enough.

The rest, let's slowly improve and improve it little by little.

When building the workshop, Xia Ning also quickly organized a group of people.

In the future, in addition to squeezing rapeseed, you can also squeeze peanut oil, tea oil, etc., and now it is time to learn and practice.

"Can this thing really squeeze out oil?"

"It's unimaginable~"

At this time, the daughters of the Song family were watching in the oil mill, wanting to see with their own eyes what oil extraction was all about, because there was no rape flower in Dongchu, and they also ate animal oil and soybean oil on weekdays.

If it weren't for Xia Ning's popularization for them, they wouldn't know that there was a crop like rape flowers, especially when they learned that this crop could also be squeezed to extract oil, they were even more curious.

"You'll see." Xia Ning smiled very mysteriously.

So, the group watched the whole oil extraction process in the oil mill, until they saw the yellow and clear oil and water poured into the porcelain jar, and everyone believed that this small rapeseed could really squeeze oil.

"It's amazing~"

"I didn't expect oil extraction to come like this."

"It's interesting."

Mrs. Song said curiously, "I don't know what it tastes like when this rapeseed oil is used to make vegetables?" ”

"It shouldn't be bad, it smells quite fragrant, and it must be very fragrant when cooking." Mother Song took a wooden spoon and gently stirred it in the porcelain jar a few times, and the whole workshop exuded a strong fragrance of rapeseeds.

"It does smell good."

"I can't wait to try it."

Xia Ning picked up a can of rapeseed oil and shouted, "Let's go, let's go home and cook now." ”

"Let's go!"

The ladies happily agreed.

Subsequently, when the group returned to the Song family's compound, they went directly into the kitchen and began to make various dishes with rapeseed oil.

**

Six o'clock in the evening (half past six in the evening).

"Why hasn't Shaoqin come back yet?"

Mother Song looked in the direction of the gate and read in her mouth.

"Shaoqin seems to be very busy recently, and he goes out early every day during this time." Bai muttered suspiciously.

Xu Wanqing hurriedly agreed, "Auntie, don't say that I haven't noticed it, it seems that Shaoqin came back later than before." ”

Father Song turned his head and asked, "Xiao Ning, has Shaoqin been busy with any other research projects recently?" ”

"I didn't hear him say it, it should still be a pilot project of hydropower generation, but this experiment is almost coming to an end, and I guess there are other new researches."

Xia Ning, who was suddenly named, was also a little confused, when she was busy with rapeseed oil recently, she had indeed not communicated with him well for some days, and she exchanged daily greetings in the morning and evening every day.

After all, the entire Song family has been in a very busy state this month, and this little exchange between her and Shaoqin has been a lot in this family, you must know that she and other people in the family sometimes don't even say a word for a whole day.

It's tonight's dinner, and it's the most neat meal in the past month, and it's all stained with rapeseed oil, because everyone also learned that they squeezed rapeseed oil today and put it into consumption for the first time at home, so everyone rushed home to eat when they heard the news.

Father Song picked up the chopsticks and signaled, "That's okay, let's not wait for him, let's eat first." ”

"Okay, then I'll leave some food for Shaoqin."

Xia Ning also agreed, but she took the rice bowl and prepared a meal for one person alone, after all, except for Shaoqin, everyone in the family has arrived, and they are both old people and children, so you can't let everyone just wait for him, right?

"Uh, this dish tastes so good."

"It's oily, and the taste of the vegetable oil made here is a little different from the oil we ate before."

"I feel a lot more refreshing than lard."

"Yes, it's delicious."

"Let's use this rapeseed oil to cook in the future."

"I'll see it." (End of chapter)
