Chapter 120 Surprise

Qin Sanlang looked at the soybean oil in the pottery basin, feeling both amazed and pleasantly surprised.

He knew that Gu Jinli was going to use soybeans to make oil, and he thought she could do it, but when he really saw soybean oil, he still couldn't calm down.

…From tofu to soybean oil, Xiaoyu broke their understanding of soybeans again and again.

Who would have thought that this little soybean could make so many novel things.

Qin Sanlang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Gu Jinli: "Little fish, is this oil considered finished?"

Brother Cheng also looked at his second sister, waiting for her to speak.

Gu Jinli said: "Not yet, it must be filtered before it can be stored in an altar."

The soybean oil that has just been extracted has too many impurities and must be filtered to obtain pure soybean oil.

Gu Jinli ran to her and Gu Jinxiu's house, took out a half-meter-long piece of Ge cloth from a wooden frame, folded the Ge cloth into three layers, and used the Ge cloth to filter the soybean oil for a full three times before stopping.

At this time, the soybean oil no longer has foam and crushed bean dregs, showing an amber-like crystal color, which is very beautiful.

"Wow~" Brother Cheng said in surprise, "Second sister, the soybean oil looks so good, it's more beautiful than fried meat oil."

Qin Sanlang also thought the color of the soybean oil was good-looking, so he asked Gu Jinli, "Little fish, is this done?"

Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, that's it, it can be stored in an altar."

The third grandma was cutting tofu with a knife. Seeing them chatting together, and Qin Sanlang also stopped the clattering of oil, she came over and took a look. After seeing the filtered soybean oil, she was amazed immediately: "This, this is soybean oil ? Hey, it’s really oily!”

After speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and ran to the courtyard gate to have a look, for fear that someone would pass by and hear what she said, but luckily there was no one outside.

The third grandma hurried back and asked Xiaoyu in a low voice: "Is this really oil?"

Gu Jinli nodded: "Yes, this is oil. Let's fry something with soybean oil in a while, and taste how the oil tastes."

The third grandma was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and she said after a while: "Okay, okay, let's fry things with soybean oil, do whatever you want, put as much oil as you want, and the third grandma won't stop you."

In the past, when Gu Jinli was cooking, the third grandma always cared that she put too much oil, which was a waste.Now that soybean oil is made, I am no longer afraid of her misfortune.

Brother Cheng had already run to the kitchen and told Cui Shi and Gu Jinxiu about Gu Jinli making soybean oil. The two came out in a hurry and were surprised when they saw the soybean oil in the clay pot.

"Little fish... this, this is really good." Cui's voice trembled a little.

Without waiting for Gu Jinli to speak, the third grandma said: "It's not that I made oil, we Xiaoyu just have the ability."

Cui Shi and Gu Jinxiu were very happy to hear that, and when they heard that Gu Jinli was going to use soybean oil to fry things, Cui Shi said: "Mom, go and make room for you."

The three pots in the kitchen are all boiling soy milk, and the small fish can’t cook without emptying the pots.

Cui went back to the kitchen. Gu Jinxiu was not the kind of person who likes to watch the excitement. After seeing the soybean oil, she also went back to the kitchen to help.

Gu Jinli found a jar, scalded it with boiling water several times, and after killing the bacteria, put the filtered soybean oil into the jar, filling more than half of the jar.

Gu Jinli was very pleasantly surprised, this jar is not small, it can hold five catties of water, and now the jar can be filled with half a finger, which means that the twenty catties of soybeans yielded at least four catties of oil, which is more than she expected A lot more.

Looking at Gu Jinli's appearance, Qin Sanlang thought he was pleasantly surprised by the amount of soybean oil, and said, "I'll borrow a small scale."

He ran to He Shiliu's house, rented a small scale for a penny, and came back. He weighed the soybean oil: "Six catties and two taels, and the jar weighs two catties. This is four catties and two taels of oil."

"It actually produced four catties and two taels of oil." This amount of oil is really surprising.

Gu Jinli immediately made a calculation. Now soybeans on the market cost three Wen a catty, and twenty catties of soybeans cost sixty Wen. For sixty Wen, you can get four catties and two taels of oil, which is much more cost-effective than lard.

That fat pork costs thirty Wen a catty, and a catty of fat pork can yield half a catty of oil, that is to say, only sixty Wen of fat pork can yield a catty of oil. At the same price, soybean oil is three times more than meat oil. Two or two catties.

Gu Jinli knew exactly what this meant.

She suppressed her excitement and said to Qin Sanlang: "Brother Qin, you helped me a lot today. I will cook delicious food, and you stay to eat."

Qin Sanlang smiled, a dimple appeared on his face, he nodded and said: "Okay."

But he was not idle, but helped put away the pressed tofu.

Gu Jinli carried the soybean oil to the kitchen, and then took out the oil-pressed cake embryos from the small cloth bag.

After an hour of beating, these cake embryos have been completely glued together, forming a bean cake half a centimeter thick.

Gu Jinli cut these cake embryos into one-inch sizes, and then heated the oil in a pan. After the soybean oil emitted a trace of white smoke, he put the cut cake embryos into the oil pan one by one.

The cake embryo swelled rapidly in the oil pan, about three times its size, and when the cake embryo was fried until crispy, it became fried bean curd.

She also made fried tofu with soybean oil and fried sweet potato balls.There is still some meat sent by Shang Xiucai's family at home, and I made fried crispy meat and fried meatballs.

Although the fried bean oil is not as fragrant as the fried meat, it is just as delicious.

Brother Cheng and the third grandma ate very happily, and the third grandma sighed: "How dare you eat like this before? I just fried some noodles during the Chinese New Year, but now I can open my stomach to eat fried things."

Oil is expensive, and farmers are reluctant to make fried food, so they make some to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year.But now that there is soybean oil, she doesn't feel bad anymore.

After Qin Sanlang ate a few pieces of fried bean curd, he returned home with two large ceramic bowls of fried food that Gu Jinli gave him.

Not long after, the third grandfather who was out of the stall came back with Gu Dashan and his son who went to buy. The three of them were surprised to see the fried food in two clay pots and a jar of soybean oil.

The third grandfather is an old man who has been through the experience. He knows the value of this soybean oil, so he hurriedly explained to them: "Don't tell me how to make this soybean oil, so as not to cause trouble."

People come to grab tofu recipes, let alone soybean oil.

The family hurriedly nodded yes.

The third grandfather asked Gu Jinli again: "Little fish, what are you going to do with this soybean oil?"

Soybean oil is a good thing, but it is too good to cause trouble.

Gu Jinli looked at Gu Jinan and said with a smile, "Brother is going to Uncle Shang's house tomorrow, and I will go too to deliver soybean oil to Uncle Shang."

Shang Xiucai is very interested in soybean oil and soy sauce, she believes that this soybean oil will surprise him.

Seeing that Gu Jinli had a plan in mind, the third grandfather felt relieved and said, "Okay, we will talk about it when we meet Shang Xiu tomorrow."

The third grandfather is very convinced of Shang Xiucai, Shang Xiucai has a father-in-law who is a county captain, and he will definitely help them protect the soybean oil.
