Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Yang Dazhuang was the first to calm down and said: "Xiaojia, I will not open the workshop. I will plant dozens of acres of land on the hillside."

The children in his family are small, the eldest is in a research institute, and the others are in school. He has no brothers to help him, so running a workshop is not suitable for him.

Brother Shen had already given him the big buffalo. We have cattle at home, and they can plow the fields very quickly. Now we have sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts and other crops grown on dry land, so we should just farm them honestly.

"My family can open an oil pressing workshop, and we can cultivate dozens of acres of dry land on the hillside. As for the chili sauce workshop, I can't have it. I will go to the village to find other people." The seventh uncle has many sons and grandsons. But he wasn't greedy either.

"Okay, let me know when you choose the address where you can open the oil mill." Shen Jia responded.

Uncle Seven knew that Shen Jia had a lot of experience and thought it would be better to ask her opinion: "Where is the best place to build the oil pressing mill?"

"I suggest it be near the county seat, because in the county seat it can reach villagers throughout the county and the news will spread faster. By next year at the latest, everyone will have peanuts to squeeze oil."

Uncle Seven nodded: "Okay, I will find land to build an oil pressing mill as soon as possible in the next two days."

Shen Jia briefly told them about the wood-pressing oil mill, and then wrote down the tools they needed on a piece of paper, marked their sizes, and asked them to find them first. After they found them, he told her that they could not use them until she had seen them in person. .

For example, the wood must be old camphor wood that is more than a hundred years old.

There is a record of Tiangong Kaiwu in the previous life: Any giant that presses wood must be surrounded and embraced, and it is hollow, with camphor as the top, followed by sandalwood and wolfberry.

An 'oil bed' two meters long and more than one foot wide was cut out in the center of the camphor wood. It is used to put the oil wrapped into cakes, and then drill a small hole underneath, and the peanut oil flows out of the small hole.

There is also the grinding plate. The grinding plate is in the shape of a traditional stone grinder. Pour the fried peanuts into the trough, place a certain weight of stones on the grinding plate. Under the pressure of the stone, the wheel rolling back and forth grinds the peanuts in the trough into powder. .

A few days later, the seventh uncle came over and told Shen Jia that the location of the shop was right next to the winery, and he would buy that piece of land to build an oil pressing mill.

Shen Jia told the construction team how to build the oil pressing mill. The seventh uncle invited many people, and the frame was built in two days. The rest had to find materials and come back to build it.

The seventh uncle's sons and grandsons traveled a lot of mountains for the oil press. Their hard work paid off, and they actually found two large camphor trees that were two hundred years old.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen went to see it. The tree was tall, strong and straight, and was extremely suitable for making pressing tools.

The seventh uncle invited several people, including his own son and grandson, and it took nearly twenty people to carry the tree down from the mountain.

Shen Jia told several carpenters about the requirements for cutting the oil bed with press tools. The carpenter was also very handy and moved very quickly. He finished the press tools in more than ten days.

The grinding plate, pot, and stove have been prepared and placed in the oil pressing workshop, and the oil pressing workshop has finally been built.

The peanuts and corn were ready to be harvested. Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen took the servants at home to take back the peanuts and corn from the fields.

The sun is strong in summer, and the peanuts are already dried in only three days.

Shen Jia and others peeled the peanut shells and picked out the moldy peanuts.

She and Xiao Yichen brought peanuts and oil barrels to the oil press.

The seventh uncle and his son and grandson were already waiting for them.

"Seventh uncle, you must first sort out the moldy peanuts. If there are moldy peanuts mixed in the peanuts, the peanut oil will easily deteriorate. You must remember this." Shen Jia said seriously.

The seventh uncle and others said in unison: "I know." Good guy, the seventh uncle is a prosperous person. This sound will lift the roof off.

Shen Jia poured half a bag of peanuts into a pan and stir-fried over medium heat. "Pay attention to the heat, be sure to use a gentle heat."

"Okay!" The young man from the Lu family sitting at the door of the stove nodded hurriedly, staring directly at the flames in the stove, almost keeping his eyes on the flames.

After the aroma of the peanuts came out, Shen Jia quickly poured the peanuts into the stone grinder.

Transfer the peanuts to the grinding plate and grind them into fine particles that can pass the sieve. The fine particles that cannot pass the sieve need to be crushed again.

There is a steamer on the stove, put the peanut powder into the steamer and steam until cooked.

After steaming, pour it into a straw bag fixed with bamboo strips and press it into peanut cake.

"When wrapping into cakes, the speed must be fast, the pressing temperature must be ensured, and the sultry steam inside must not be allowed to escape. Because if the cakes are wrapped too slowly, the final oil yield will be greatly reduced, so you must pour and pour quickly. The oil yield rate is high." Shen Jia said lightly.

The wrapped cake is placed in the oil bed of the press, and then pressed with wooden wedges in sequence.

"It is necessary to pay attention to the rhythm and intensity of wood pressing. From the beginning of pressing to the time when it is compressed by 30%, the peanut cake at this stage contains the most oil, the extracted oil impurities are the least, and the oil is the most fragrant. After that, the amount of oil produced in the peanut cake will be determined and the gaps in the oil bed are gradually wedged to increase the squeezing force on the peanut cake.”

jump! jump! jump! With a dull and rhythmic banging sound, a wooden hammer is used to push the wooden wedge. As the pressure continues to increase, the fat in the cake is squeezed out bit by bit, completing the gorgeous transformation from peanuts to peanut oil.

Those present smelled a strong aroma of oil that filled the oil shop. Thin oil droplets emerged from the edge of the oil tank, and quickly flowed out from all directions, gurgling along the oil tank and into the oil barrels.

"The oil is really coming out." The seventh uncle was so excited that his whole body trembled, and a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Others also had red eyes, including Xiao Yichen. With vegetable oil, many people’s problem of eating oil can be solved.

"The freshly squeezed peanut oil is a little turbid. After settling for a few days, put the clear and translucent oil on the top into an oil vat. The oil with sediment at the bottom needs to be filtered several times to make sure there is no precipitation before it can be put into the oil vat. If there is sediment, The oil is prone to acidification, so we can eat the precipitated and filtered oil first."

"Okay! We remember it." Uncle Seventh and others responded loudly. They remembered every word Shen Jia said.

Shen Jia added: "The squeezed oil must wait until it cools down before the lid can be put on, because the newly squeezed oil is very hot. If the hot oil is put on the lid, it will be difficult for the heat to escape, and the oil will easily deteriorate. And it must be Keep peanut oil in a cool, dry place, because high temperatures can also cause peanut oil to deteriorate. You must remember what I say."

"remember."

The entire oil mill was slowly filled with the fragrant peanut oil. This fragrance slowly floated out of the oil mill and reached the winery.

The winery worker sniffed his nose and said, "It smells so good! What is this smell?"

"I heard that peanut oil is being pressed next door."

"This oil is so fragrant! Won't the fried vegetables be even more fragrant?"

"Needless to say, that's for sure!"

One kilogram of peanuts can be squeezed out about four taels of oil. Shen Jia squeezed more than one hundred kilograms of peanut oil from the peanuts she brought. After leaving five kilograms of peanut oil for her seventh uncle, she took the rest home. The oil will be used by escorts in July. The team was brought to Beijing.
