Siheyuan: a hole in the sky

Chapter 14 Oil Pressing
"Grandma, I'm going back to prepare dinner tonight. You can drink it here slowly. However, this pot of tea can only be drunk by yourself. If you really want to drink it for others, you must at least mix it with some other water. Remember Is it?" Zhou Jianguo was a little worried, and ordered him to the side.

"what are you saying"

Well, the deaf old lady was deaf again, but Zhou Jianguo laughed because he knew that the old lady had listened to it. What she said just now was to express to Zhou Jianguo that even if someone discovered the abnormality of the tea, it would be true. When she had to ask something, she was deaf.

After returning home, Zhou Jianguo locked the door, turned around and came to the cave world.

The current cave world has changed drastically. It was still barren before. In the current cave world, except for some specially reserved open spaces, other places have been filled with greenery and life.

"What a fresh air!" Zhou Jianguo was deeply intoxicated by the aura-filled air.

The Dongtian Orb is absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world all the time, a large part of which is converted into energy to expand the cave world, but a considerable part of the heaven and earth spiritual energy is still integrated into the cave world.

With sufficient heaven and earth spiritual energy, the creatures in the cave world grow extremely fast, and correspondingly, the air becomes more and more fresh.

"Okay, let's start making peanut oil." Zhou Jianguo looked at the mature peanut field. He came to the cave world this time to get some peanut oil.

My body is too weak now, and needs a lot of oil and water to fill it up. In addition, his appetite has long been 'spoiled' by the various delicacies in his previous life. For the current cooking that only puts three or five drops of oil Life, I really can't get used to it, so Zhou Jianguo is going to get some peanut oil and rapeseed oil out.

In the 60s, you need a ticket to buy oil, and each person only has a ration of three to five taels a month, and you can’t buy it in many cases. Therefore, if you want to rely on buying to realize the freedom of using oil, don’t even think about it. Extract the oil yourself.

Don't think about rapeseed oil for the time being. There are only three rapeseed seedlings in the cave world. If you want to grow a few acres of rapeseed and enough rapeseed for oil extraction, it will take ten or twenty days.

Therefore, rapeseed oil cannot be counted on for the time being, and now only peanut oil can be counted on.

Coincidentally, a lot of peanuts have been planted before, and now they are mature, and the yield is not low. There are at least six to seven thousand catties of peanuts in a peanut field of more than five acres, which is enough to make peanut oil.

"Get up!" Zhou Jianguo gave an order, and the peanuts in the more than five acres of peanut fields were pulled up one by one by invisible force, and then fell one by one, and fell accurately into the basket on one side.

In less than three minutes, five acres of peanuts were harvested. It didn't take much effort before and after. It was just a matter of Zhou Jianguo's few thoughts.

This is the great power of the Dongtian Orb. In the Dongtian world, Zhou Jianguo is a god!
Zhou Jianguo looked at the peanuts all over the ground in front of him, each one was so plump and sweet, and he couldn't help sighing: "As expected of the peanuts watered by the spiritual liquid of life, the yield and quality are really extraordinary. what!"

The yield of peanuts produced on these five mu of land far exceeded Zhou Jianguo's guess. At first he thought that six or seven thousand catties would be enough, but he didn't expect that it would be about twelve thousand gold (dried), which is two pounds per mu of land. The yield of more than a thousand catties is nearly four times higher than the yield per mu of the outside world.

Zhou Jianguo was really happy about the bumper peanut harvest, but in the next second, he couldn't be happy because he didn't know what to do with the more than [-] kilograms of peanuts.

Pressed peanut oil, up to three to five hundred catties of peanuts is enough.

Don't think that three to five hundred catties of peanuts are few, but actually enough, because the oil yield of peanuts is not low. One hundred catties of peanuts (with shells) can produce about forty to forty-five catties of peanut oil, that is It is said that three hundred catties can produce more than one hundred and twenty catties of peanut oil, and five hundred catties can produce more than two hundred catties of peanut oil.

This is more than one hundred and twenty catties of peanut oil, hehe, who can eat so much oil in a year, so if the peanut oil is squeezed, it is almost enough to keep three to five hundred catties.

The problem is that the peanuts here are now more than [-] catties, [-] catties, which is a drop in the bucket. Zhou Jianguo began to have a headache as to what to do with the remaining pile of peanuts.

"Are you really going to sell peanuts outside the movie theater?" Zhou Jianguo thought to himself.

"No, it's too unsafe and too conspicuous." Zhou Jianguo immediately denied it.

"It's not a big problem if there are hundreds of catties or more than a thousand catties of peanuts, but now I have more than [-] catties. If so many peanuts are sold outside the movie theater, there will definitely be problems."

Zhou Jianguo is not short of money now. Besides, even if he wants to get money, he doesn't need to use such a conspicuous method. There are plenty of other ways to get money.

For example, let’s go to the black market to sell fresh vegetables. It’s March now. If you want to eat fresh vegetables in Huajing, you have to wait until the end of April at least. Therefore, the price of fresh vegetables in Huajing is now much more expensive than the price of meat. times.

If Zhou Jianguo really wanted to make money, he might as well go to the black market and sell fresh vegetables for two to three hundred catties at a time, at two yuan per catty, and thousands of yuan at a time.

This is much more cost-effective and safer than selling peanuts.

To sell peanuts, if you want to sell them for [-] yuan, you have to sell at least [-] catties (calculated at [-] cents per catty), but you only need to sell vegetables for [-] catties at most. The gap between before and after is too big, so selling Peanuts are not as good as selling fresh vegetables.

"Forget it, let's squeeze all of them into peanut oil, and then sell them on the black market." Zhou Jianguo made a decision.

The capacity of the black market in Huajing is not small, and a few thousand catties of peanut oil is not a big problem.

If you think it's too conspicuous to sell a few thousand catties at once, then you can sell it once a month, and you can sell it silently after spending a little more time.

"How is the peanut oil pressed?" Zhou Jianguo recalled in his mind the video of peanut oil pressing that he had seen before. (You can search for it, there are many similar videos, which look quite interesting.)
The Dongtian Orb is indeed a treasure of heaven and earth, and it is very easy to reproduce the related videos in his memory.

Zhou Jianguo nodded, preparing to squeeze peanut oil according to the relevant process in his mind.

"First, you must have a large pot for frying peanuts." Zhou Jianguo recalled the content in his memory, and started to make the large pot as the first step.

"Fire!" With an order, a flame appeared out of thin air, and then Zhou Jianguo pointed at the scrap iron on one side (purchased from the scrap station), and the scrap iron automatically flew to the flame, and then Zhou Jianguo increased the flame, and the flame rose from red to red. Turn blue, then white.

At this time, the temperature had risen to more than [-] degrees (the melting point of iron is more than [-] degrees), and the scrap iron began to melt rapidly, and soon turned into a ball of molten iron.

"Molding!" Zhou Jianguo pointed again. The molten iron slowly changed from a circular shape to a flat surface. After that, the two sides slowly bent upwards, and the middle slowly sank. Soon, a large iron pot with a diameter of ten meters was formed. was refined out.

The quality of this large iron pot is quite good, with a perfect shape and a hint of blue on the surface, it is definitely a high-quality iron pot.

Looking at the big iron pot that has been refined in front of him, Zhou Jianguo still feels amazing even though he is somewhat prepared in his heart.

Outside, it usually takes a long time and energy to make such a large iron pot. Zhou Jianguo estimated that it would take a day or two, but in the cave world, he seems to only use It took less than two minutes to refine it. With such speed and efficiency, to be honest, even he was shocked.

This is the great power brought to him by the Dongtian Orb. In the Dongtian world, Zhou Jianguo is a god, so he was able to create this big iron pot so simply.

After initially appreciating the power of the Dongtian Orb, Zhou Jianguo started experimenting again with great interest.

Two hours later, more than a dozen iron pots of different sizes, dozens of pairs of exquisite chopsticks, hundreds of bowls appeared in front of Zhou Jianguo, and the flush toilet that he had been obsessed with before had also been refined. .

Zhou Jianguo has already tested it, and the effect of the flush toilet he made is quite good, compared with the effect of modern flush toilets, it is almost the same.

"This flush toilet is really difficult to make. It took a full forty minutes to make it. It's really not easy!" Zhou Jianguo looked at the flush toilet that had been built, and finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

The difficulty of making modern flush toilets is far beyond his imagination.

Zhou Jianguo had only used flush toilets before, and he didn't know how to make them at all. He only had the general appearance of a flush toilet in his mind, but what was inside, how was it made, what should be paid attention to when making it, etc. The key question, to be honest, he didn't know at all.

It can be said that Zhou Jianguo is crossing the river by feeling the stones in the manufacture of flush toilets, and he needs to keep groping.

Zhou Jianguo had seen a lot about the whole flush toilet, so he made it quickly, but the length, angle, size, etc. of the pipes inside were not clear to Zhou Jianguo at all.

Now there is no help from Baidu, and it is impossible to ask other people, so in the end Zhou Jianguo had to test one after another, one after another, salt, and tried no less than two hundred times before he finally succeeded in making it.

Looking at the two or three hundred abandoned flush toilets left aside, one can see how much thought Zhou Jianguo has put into this.

Fortunately, the clay in the cave world is of excellent quality, the top clay for refining porcelain, otherwise, just looking for the right clay would have exhausted him to the ground.

　Today is Monday, the beginning of the new week, and the traveler here wishes you all a smooth work, a happy family, and a fortune in the new week! !

　　Finally, Xingzhe asks for support! !
