Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 116 116 Are all counting on the boss

"Father, what is this?" Xiaomi was curious.

Just like a wine jar, it's not too small.

Jiang Hu raised his chin slightly as if showing off: "This is rapeseed oil. Dad specially saved a hundred catties of rapeseed and asked shopkeeper Liu to take it to the county to squeeze the oil for us."

Xiaomi was surprised: "Really, is this rapeseed oil?"

As he said that, he quickly moved closer, and Jiang Hu simply lifted the lid of the altar: "Look, it's different from the meat oil we eat."

The three sisters surrounded her curiously, and Xiaomi took a deep breath: "It smells so good."

She hadn't smelled the smell of rapeseed oil for several years.

Jiang Hu quickly and carefully covered the jar again: "At noon, we will use this oil to stir-fry."

The three sisters nodded repeatedly, expressing their great happiness.

Then Jiang Hu came back with a pack of big bones from the ox cart and untied the ox cart. Knowing that Erniang was still in the field, he led the ox up the mountain.

As long as it doesn't rain, the big buffalo will be taken to the mountains to graze every day, and will be brought back at night.

Xiaomi Xiaoxue took Tiedan out and closed the kitchen door by the way.

What Jiang Hu asked Tie Dan to bring back was a pack of mung bean cakes. Jiang Xiaoxue took a piece for Tie Dan and asked him to sit beside him and eat slowly.

"One hundred catties of rapeseed, there is only so much oil, so little." One hundred catties is a big sack, and Jiang Xiaoxue has seen it before.

Xiaomi thought about it, the jar could hold about [-] catties of wine, and the density of oil was different from that of water, so the jar was filled with [-]/[-], which was about [-] catties.

One hundred catties of rapeseed yields thirty catties of oil, which is not a low oil yield.

But Xiaomi didn't dare to say, she just nodded in agreement: "It's really rare, no wonder it's so expensive."

I heard that it takes more than [-] copper coins to buy a catty of rapeseed oil, and you can buy more than two catties of pork.

No wonder everyone said that this is something only rich people can afford.

After a while, Jiang Hu came back with sweet potato vines on his back, Er Niang carried a hoe, and emotional Jiang Hu went to pick up his wife specially.

As soon as he got home, Jiang Hu quickly went to show off the rapeseed oil, and even told a lot about how to eat it. It seemed that he had asked Master Zhang a lot.

Jiang Xiaoxue and Tie Dan didn't feel anything yet, but Xiaomi was speechless.

Really, the three sisters were all around the oil jar just now, and they have never seen their father introduce them so carefully!

Erniang was curious and expectant: "I've only heard of it before, but this is the first time I've seen real rapeseed oil. It's very different from meat oil, and it doesn't solidify even when it's cold."

Xiaomi leaned closer to his parents and asked innocently, "Daddy, rapeseed can be used to extract oil, but what about other things? Can other things also be used to extract oil?"

The seemingly unintentional sentence shocked Jiang Hu and his wife Qi Qi, and then Jiang Hu asked tentatively: "Xiaomi, do you think there is anything else that can be squeezed out?"

Xiaomi frowned and tried to think: "Peanuts? Soybeans? They all look like rapeseed, just one big and one small."

Jiang Hu took a deep breath.

Xiaomi looked at him puzzled: "Father, what's wrong?"

Jiang Hu forced himself to be calm: "It's okay, Xiaomi, don't tell others about this in the future, do you understand?"

Xiaomi was at a loss, but still nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, just tell mom and dad!"

Jiang Hu patted Xiaomi on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go out and play, parents put this away."

Xiaomi didn't suspect him, so he jumped out of the kitchen and continued to cut sweet potato vines with his second sister.

In the kitchen, Jiang Hu took a small jar and prepared to pump out a catty or two of rapeseed oil, and took the rest to another room for storage.

Er Niang helped him hold the small jar, and asked in confusion, "Brother Hu, why did Xiaomi say to extract oil from soybeans and peanuts?"

Jiang Hu shook his head: "I don't know either, maybe she doesn't know why, she just said it unintentionally."

"Then why are you so overreacted that Xiaomi is not allowed to tell other people?"

Jiang Hu stopped what he was doing: "Er Niang, Xiaomi is different from other people, even if she said it casually, it is probably true."

Even Jiang Hu himself found it unbelievable, but his intuition told him that every word Xiaomi said should be taken seriously.

He knew it from the time they paid the grain tax for the first time in Fu'an Village.

Erniang was startled at first, but then realized: "Then what are you so nervous about? If soybeans and peanuts can be squeezed out, that would be a good thing. Maybe the prices of soybeans and peanuts can go up."

Soybeans are basically bean sprouts, tofu, and peanuts are just for drinking. The price is not cheap, but it is not high. It can only be said to be better than leaving the ground empty.

If this can be used to extract oil, the price will definitely rise. By then, peanuts and soybeans will be able to sell for more money.

Just like sesame seeds for sesame oil, the price is very expensive.

But Jiang Hu shook his head: "Of course I know what you said, but our Xiaomi is still young, if this word gets out of her mouth, it may bring disaster to her."

My child is only two years old, and he knows so many things. It is not obvious to tell others, is this a golden baby?
Erniang was reminded, and she also came to her senses: "Yes, yes, fortunately, Brother Hu, you thought about it. Xiaomi has been eye-catching enough in the past two years, and he can no longer attract attention."

Fortunately, from the current point of view, the crops are just better. Although outsiders are envious of Fu'an Village, the farmers are still farming and have not attracted the attention of the big shots.

But if it is replaced with something else that can bring benefits to the big man, I am afraid that it will not be as easy as a clean life.

Jiang Hu resealed the rapeseed oil and sighed softly: "Now it's up to the boss. If he studies well and comes back as a scholar, he can protect Xiaomi well."

Although he knew the chances were slim, he still couldn't help thinking about it.

A scholar can see an official without kneeling, and his family can be exempted from taxes. Of course, these are not important. What is important is that if there is a scholar master in the family, he is almost not afraid of being bullied by outsiders.

Of course, whether it's Jiang Hu or Erniang, they just think about it now, and they don't even dare to tell Jiang Yu that they want him to be a scholar.

After all, this is really not something you can pass the exam just by talking about it.

However, Jiang Hu's idea coincides with Xiaomi's. Let the elder brother/eldest son be a scholar, and then they can develop the family's agricultural industry with peace of mind and boldness.

Of course, it was several years before the examination for talent. Now, Xiaomi is thinking about another matter, about sweet sorghum.

In the spring of this year, the sweet sorghum sown together with corn will be ripe in a month or two. The sorghum stalks of sweet sorghum have a lot of sugar, which can be boiled.

Last year's sorghum stalks were wasted, but this year's ones can't be used as firewood!
