Chapter 339 Preparation before oil extraction

Qin An did not participate in the process of making cotton into silk threads, he could make a textile machine, but there was no way to mix two different silk threads together and turn them into new silk threads.

It's not his specialty, he can't do it.

After leaving the textile workshop, Qin An returned to the house and told him about cotton.

"Great. In the future, the village will have cotton, and there will be no need to freeze to death again. Ying Yin Yan said excitedly.

"It doesn't matter." Qin An said, "After three years, there will be no problem with how much cotton you want."

Now I'm going to tell you to do something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Go buy 500 catties of rapeseed." Qin An said, "I have always said that rapeseed can be used to extract oil, and it is almost time to extract oil." ”

Li Yanran was surprised: "Xianggong, didn't you say that rapeseed is the seed of rape flower?"

Isn't our number one task at the moment to expand the scope of cultivation? 500 catties of rapeseed, how much rapeseed do you get? ”

"I don't know." Qin An shook his head, "But don't worry, this rape flower can produce two hundred to four hundred seeds, and it is enough to leave enough seeds." ”

"Xianggong, is a hundred catties good? Anyway, you don't plan to sell oil, but tell the people that rapeseed can really be used to extract oil. Ying Yin said.

Qin An thought for a while, and finally nodded: "That's right, my purpose is to make a set of oil making processes."

Then let's ask for a hundred catties first, no less, and the rest of the seeds will be planted with rape flowers, which can also be eaten. Don't waste it. ”

"Okay."

Subsequently, Qin An and his three wives worked separately.

Qin An began to make tools.

The three daughters of Yingyin quickly collected a hundred catties of rapeseed.

Usually, they just listened to Qin An's mouth about rape flowers, and when they saw them with their own eyes, they knew that this rape flower did have a lot of seeds, but the seeds were too small.

It is estimated that there are tens of thousands, or even millions, of a hundred catties.

They didn't count, they didn't count, they just knew that there were many.

On the other side, Qin An was a little embarrassed.

As far as he knows, there are many links in rapeseed refining, one of which is that the tools used in crushing are all manpower.

So Qin An drew a design drawing, an oil press.

All oil presses, in fact, are made up of four wooden beams, and the rapeseed cake is placed in the wooden beams, and then the wooden wedges are hammered vigorously with a specific hammer to squeeze the rapeseed cake again.

Finally, the oil is discharged, and the oil swims smoothly from the sump into the tank.

The oil also needs to go through a period of precipitation and filter several times before it becomes a real finished product.

Because there was no way to test the quality of the oil, Qin An planned to use the ancient method to make the oil.

So, Qin An asked Zhang Han to find some villagers to come over, and at the same time set up an oil workshop.

Because of the small relationship of rapeseed, the current workshop is only a small workshop and there are not many people.

In addition to Zhang Han and Qin An, there were a total of ten people.

"Sir. I've got you people, all of them are strong and powerful. ”

Qin An looked at the ten Black Dragon Guards, all of them were tiger-backed, with strong bodies and bulging muscles.

Qin An stepped forward and touched it, and said, "It's really strong enough." Not bad. I'll give you some tasks later. ”

"Sir, please do not hesitate to command." The one who is the leader makes the way.

Qin An waved his hand and said, "Don't be so serious, it's just oil extraction, not to let you go to war." ”33

Zhang Han said: "Sir, just say it directly, they all like to go straight." ”

"That's fine." Qin An said, "I collected 100 catties of rapeseed and planned to experiment with oil extraction.

I'm going to tell you a little bit about the specific steps of oil extraction.

First of all, it is to choose rapeseed, after selection, wash the rapeseed, and then ......"

Qin An quickly explained the steps, and the steps were actually just six steps, and everyone quickly remembered them.

There are only two steps that require some strength, one step is to crush a hundred catties of rapeseed, and the further is to press.

The crushing weapon costs a little less, but it takes a lot of effort to squeeze it, so it's no wonder that Qin An wants to find them.

"With the steps out of the way, the next step is the actual operation. Now you will come with me back to the house. Qin An said.

"No."

Immediately, Ann took everyone back to the house, and at this time, the three daughters of Yingyin Yan had been waiting in the yard for a long time with a hundred catties of rapeseed.

"Xianggong, you're back. Rapeseed has already been taken. Ying Yin said.

Qin An smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll leave it to me next." It takes a man's strength to make oil, and you can't get involved. ”

"Okay." Ying Yin Yan nodded, "Then what can we do to help Xianggong?" ”

"No need." Qin An shook his head, "If you really want to help me, then prepare some beans, I suddenly thought of some new methods."

The taste of meat is made from tofu, and the current stock of meat in the village farm is low, so I thought of a substitute, which I call vegetarian meat, fake meat made with vegetarian dishes. ”

"Okay." The three daughters of Yingyin said excitedly.

When they heard that they could make meat with soybeans, the three girls were very surprised and decided to make it.

This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, soybeans are cheap, but meat is very expensive, so this soybean vegetarian meat will definitely be loved by the people.

"Sir, these soybeans really make the taste of meat." Zhang Han asked.

"Of course, not only the taste of the meat, but also the chewiness of the meat. It was perfect. Qin An said.

"I'll help too." Zhang Han immediately said.

"Okay." Qin An said, "I will arrange for them to pick out the rapeseed first, and then teach you how to make vegetarian meat." ”

"Okay." Zhang Han said.

"Then let's go buy soybeans."

"By the way, soybeans can also be extracted from oil." Qin An suddenly thought of soybean oil, "It just happens to be squeezed with rapeseed." ”

"Soybeans can also produce oil?" The crowd was shocked again.

"Of course, I also suddenly remembered, otherwise I would have been able to extract oil from soybeans a long time ago." Qin An said, "No, I still have to go to the research workshop to build a soybean oil extraction tool."

You go buy soybeans first, buy 500 catties. There are more soybeans. ”

"Okay."

So everyone went separately again, one to make tools, and the other to buy soybeans.

There are also ten black dragon guards who began to select rapeseed, and they took the lead in making rapeseed oil.

After Zhang Han finished buying soybeans, he chose Heilongwei, who was strong and powerful, to help make soybean oil.

Li Yanran even gathered a group of women, since they want to make vegetarian meat, they must go into the kitchen.

To enter the kitchen, you need women, who are more skilled and more suitable for cooking.

Some people died, but not completely......
