Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 13 Before Oil Pressing
"That's easy to say. After Uncle goes to town next time and takes the prey he caught to the wine shop to exchange for money, Uncle will give you the money. But, Fanxing, what are you brothers and sisters doing in the backyard? It's grinding something."

"Uncle, this is something I picked up from the mountain. I'm doing an experiment to get something useful. I don't know if it will work. It just so happens that Uncle is here, so I won't be polite to you. Uncle, please help me. Help us grind all these things into powder!" Xie Fanxing saw that a labor force as big as Xie Zhong came, she didn't need it for nothing.

Anyway, Shan and his siblings also went up, and it was done, and her uncle would not do anything to them, at most he would say a few words, it was nothing.

"Fan Xing, you brought your younger siblings up the mountain." Xie Zhong asked with a change of expression when he heard this.

He was afraid that his nephew and niece would have something to go up the mountain, so he would feel sorry for the dead brother and sister-in-law.

"Uncle, I just picked up some things at the foot of the mountain with my younger siblings. I didn't dare to go deep into the mountains. At most, I went deep into the places where my uncle and aunt walked last time. Uncle, the children in our village, that I have never been to the foot of the mountain to pick wild vegetables or firewood.

It's okay, last time I fell, I just slipped and fell accidentally, don't worry, uncle. "Xie Fanxing also knew that her uncle cared about their siblings, so she explained a few words.

"It's okay. Remember, even if you want to go up the mountain, you can't go deep into the mountain." Xie Zhong heard that his niece and nephew were just picking up something at the foot of the mountain, and he was relieved to give a few words.

Afterwards, Xie Zhong stepped forward, took over the position of Xie Fanxing's siblings, and began to grind tea seeds.

Before, Xie Fanxing asked Fanyue to dry the tea seeds for the convenience of grinding later.

It's just that these tea seeds are big and small, and the smaller ones are better for grinding, just push the tea seeds directly into the grinding holes.

If larger tea seeds are pushed into the grinding hole, the resistance will be much greater, and it will take a lot of effort to push the stone mill.

Xie Zhong is worthy of being a farmer, and now he is young and strong, he pushes the stone mill, walking like flying, with ease.

The speed is several times faster than Xie Fanxing's sister and brother pushing the stone mill.

No wonder that in later generations, people in rural areas wanted to have boys.

This boy is not only a supporter, a family member, and a pensioner, but also a powerful laborer.

After all, there are some physical jobs in the countryside that women cannot do, and men are still needed to do them.

With Xie Zhong's help, it took less than an hour to grind all the remaining tea seeds into powder.

"Uncle is tired today, uncle, are you free tomorrow?" After grinding the tea seed powder, Xie Fanxing greeted her uncle to sit in the main room, poured her uncle a glass of water, and she summoned up his uncle's strength to ask again road.

"The rice seedlings have been raised, and your grandma has also tidied up the vegetable fields. Now only the dry land is left to turn the soil and fertilize. After fertilization, it will take some time to grow sweet potatoes and other food.

I haven't been busy recently, and I have some free time.Uncle Ming'er also plans to plant some of the vegetable land for your family first, these things are not urgent.Fanxing, if you have anything to ask your uncle for help, you can just say it. "Although Xie Zhong is honest and honest, he is also a thoughtful person. Hearing his niece's question, he knew that her niece had something for him to help.

"Uncle, I really need your help tomorrow. It's a bit long to say. Once, when I went to Cao Xiucai's house, I read it in an ancient book.

The oil we eat can be extracted not only from animals, but also from plants.

I fell down from the mountain before, because I stepped on something that contained oil. In the past few days, I took this thing back with my younger siblings, thinking about how to extract oil from plants to eat. "Their family's future oil extraction must not be hidden from her uncle's family.

Xie Fanxing thought it would be better to tell her uncle directly, and let him participate in helping, so as to save their sister and brother's little arms and legs to do these things.

It took a lot of effort, people were tired, and I still couldn't see any results.

"Extract oil from plants? What kind of things did you ask uncle to help you grind? This thing looks inconspicuous, and I don't know what it is? Can oil be extracted? Can people eat it?" Xie Zhong also reacted, he asked hastily.

If it is really successful and can be eaten, this is a great thing!

In the past, if you wanted to eat something greasy, you had to eat meat, or buy meat to extract oil, but this required money to buy.

If my niece can really extract oil from plants to eat, I will save a lot of money to buy meat and press oil to eat. In the future, with oil at home, the stew will taste better, right?

"The book says that it can be eaten naturally. Now my niece is also trying to press the oil as mentioned in the book. Whether it succeeds or not, we didn't spend money to do these things anyway. It just took some effort, which is nothing. The last thing we need is strength."

"Fan Xing, you are right. Uncle Ming'er is here to help you, not only Uncle is here to help you, but Uncle Ming'er also asked your grandma and aunts to come." Xie Zhong also felt that what his niece said was reasonable, anyway, it was useless Money, just spend some effort to do it, if things are really done, this is a great thing!
"That's fine, Uncle Ming'er, come here every hour, let's start the final step of squeezing the oil."

.

"Zhongzi, didn't you send wild rabbits to Fanxing? Why did you bring it up again, and it took so long?" Mrs. Zhang also knew that her eldest granddaughter had thought of a hunting cage for the second family, and caught The prey was divided equally between the two families, and the hunting cage only took five days to catch the original one-month prey, which made Zhang and Qian very happy.

When Mrs. Zhang saw that the second child came back with two hares that were originally distributed to the granddaughter's family, and it took so long, she asked curiously.

"Fanxing asked me to help, so I came back a bit late. As for the two rabbits, Fanxing asked me to send them to the town to sell for money. Mother, Yunxiang, Fanxing said that she read them from an ancient book in Cao Xiucai's family. The oil we eat can be extracted from plants to eat.

These days, she has found plants that can extract oil. These days, she is busy with extracting oil from plants. Now that this matter has come to an end, Fan Xing asked us to go next door to help her extract oil. "

"Press the oil."

"Oil is extracted from plants." Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Qian said in surprise when they heard this.

As long as this oil is stewed, it must be used, otherwise, the stewed dishes will not taste good.

Originally, there are less oily things to eat now, but now if it doesn’t cost money, you can extract oil from plants to eat, and anyone can do it.

And it’s okay for adults to eat less oil, but the children in the family can’t save it. If they eat less oil, growth will be delayed, and they will easily get sick.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant every household is to bear oil, some oil will be put in the stew.
