Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 834 Oil Pressing
It's the day when it's new in the store.

The chefs got to work.

In addition to making braised pig's trotters, you also need to make pork skin jelly.

There is simply too much to do.

Fortunately, the chef got up early because he was afraid that it would be too late.

It's not that diners can't wait.

After the wild food before, Yun Yiyi signed a cooperation contract with the people in Liyuan.

As long as there is something new in the store, people from Liyuan will come to try it on the spot.

This is the first time they have done it in the store. Seeing so many moments in the audience, several people can't help feeling a little flustered.

"Eldest brother, I feel that we are not eating, but being eaten." Looking at the dark eyes in the audience, the second senior brother felt the pressure.

This is scarier than their singing.

When I came to power at that time, everyone was very peaceful.

It's not like now, looking at them one by one, wishing to eat them in their stomachs.

This is not looking at people, they are clearly treated as food.

Is this the world of foodies?It's too scary.

"Just perform on stage as usual, keep a calm mind, and don't meet their eyes." Zhu Liang withdrew his gaze.

"New products are here!" With Xiaoer's yell, two large dishes were served.

"This is the new braised pork trotter and pork skin jelly in our store." Yun Niang came to Zhuliang and introduced them to Zhu Liang and the others.

"Wow, it smells so good!" The fourth junior brother could smell it from afar.

"Eldest brother, why have I never felt that pig's trotters are so fragrant?"

"This pork skin jelly looks delicious."

Yun Niang smiled and said, "Whether it's delicious or not, eat first and then we'll talk."

She didn't need to taste it today, so she stood down on the stage.

Zhu Liang was the first to pick up a piece of pigskin jelly, which was as smooth as jelly, and it rolled over when it was picked up.

"Wow, this thing looks like jelly."

"But the jelly I have eaten is not like this."

"Wait, look, this one still needs to be dipped in juice."

Zhu Liang dipped the dipping dish, and after being rendered with juice, the pork skin jelly was particularly refreshing.

"Woooooo...I'm already drooling."

"Hey, I don't know what it tastes like."

The fourth senior brother was a bit bolder than Zhu Liang in eating. The pork skin was frozen and cut into very small pieces. He couldn't get enough of eating one by one, so he just picked up a spoon and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"This pork skin jelly must be dipped in juice, it will be twice as delicious." His cheeks were bulging after eating, and he still did not forget to greet everyone.

"This part of the pig's trotter is the most fragrant, especially chewy." The sixth brother felt that it was inconvenient to eat with chopsticks, so he started directly.

He gnawed and showed it to everyone.

"Seeing what they eat makes me hungry."

"That's right, I really want to try that pork skin jelly."

"Shopkeeper, can I buy it now?"

"Everyone, don't worry, the food will be served right away." The shopkeeper waved and ordered.

"Give me a pork skin jelly at my table."

"Pig trotters, I want pig trotters, sir, I'm hungry."

"Do you understand what is first come, first served? Can you stop grabbing my seat?"

Everyone pushed and shoved each other, and finally got the food they wanted.

When the table was put down, the man couldn't wait to eat.

"Shopkeeper, bring me another piece of jelly, I want to taste the difference between the two."

I served two meals today, especially the pork skin jelly, which is extremely popular.

Yun Yiyi handed over all these matters to Yun Niang, and at this moment, her mind was all on the matter of the rape blossoms bearing rapeseed.

The flowering period of rapeseed is only about a month, and the middle of May is a good time to harvest.

Yun Yiyi brought the guards to Yun Zhuang, and the rapeseed had grown mature rapeseed.

In Yunzhuang in the morning, the sky is clear, with hazy mist, slightly humid, and dew drops slowly sliding down the rapeseed flowers.

The corners of the rapeseed are tightly closed and are not easy to burst, so Li Yao hurriedly led the crowd to start harvesting.

After the piles of rapeseed are cut, they are gently put aside.

If you want to extract oil, you need equipment. It is unrealistic to extract oil by manpower alone.

Yun Yiyi asked Li Yao to lead people to harvest here, and she was going to find artisans to make oil pressing equipment.

There was no electricity in ancient times, and modern machines are not realistic, so what Yun Yiyi thought of was to use the wooden wedge method to extract.

She drew a complete set of drawings for the craftsman and asked him to make the equipment first.

"Ma'am, I don't know what this is for?" The craftsman frowned tightly.

"It's for pressing rapeseed oil."

Yun Yiyi glanced at him: "Most people eat lard, but eating too much lard is bad for your health. I'm going to use this tool to extract rapeseed oil."

The craftsman nodded. In fact, he understood all of these.

The tools used by Yun Yiyi include squeeze shells, rams, iron rings, wooden wedges and so on.

These are essential.

When Yun Yiyi returned to Yunzhuang, she wanted to see how Li Yao's harvest was doing.

It also takes time for craftsmen to do these things, Yun Yiyi is going to do the preparatory work first.

After the rape blossoms are harvested.

Yun Yiyi asked everyone to spread a layer of gauze on the ground, put the rapeseed on it, and expose it to the sun for two days.

She directed the crowd to beat with wooden sticks to remove the shells by hand.

"Remember to turn it over and continue beating." Yun Yiyi said.

In the process of beating, the rapeseed fell on the gauze.

This process is very tedious and boring.

After all the rapeseeds were out of their shells, Yun Yiyi took out the sieve and said, "Pour the rapeseeds into it to filter."

Li Yao's energetic bodyguards were sweating from exhaustion.

Fearing that they would suffer from heat stroke, Yun Yiyi asked the maid to go back to Yunzhuang to get some mung bean soup.

"You guys rest for a while, wait a while and then continue."

Li Yao rested for a while, feeling his sweat.

"Thank you ma'am."

He took the bowl, took a big sip, and looked very thirsty.

"After Ma'am finished filtering, what should I do next?" Li Yao felt better after drinking two bowls.

"Stir fry the rapeseed in an iron pan." Yun Yiyi went through the steps in her mind.

"Ma'am, can I eat it after frying?"

The servant girl gave her a puzzled look, it didn't look like it was edible.

"Of course not your way of eating."

Yun Yiyi laughed: "Stir frying in an iron pan doesn't mean you have to eat this, it's a process of extracting oil."

The maid nodded half understanding.

She doesn't quite understand it, but it sounds like it's very powerful.

After a while, Li Yao and the others had rested enough, so they continued to sieve the seeds to remove the shells and sand inside to ensure that the rapeseeds were clean.

A few days later, the craftsman sent over the completed equipment.

These equipments looked very strange, and everyone was afraid of accidentally breaking them, so they put them in their original positions and did not move them.

When Yun Yiyi came over, he saw everyone staring at these devices in a daze.

"I didn't expect it to be ready so soon, so let's start extracting oil today."

Yun Yiyi put the sifted rapeseed directly into the iron pan and stir-fried over low heat to prevent it from scorching and causing slight toxicity.

This process is mainly to stir out the unique aroma of rapeseed.

Yun Yiyi dipped some rapeseeds with her fingers, and when she saw that the rapeseeds had turned tea-yellow, she asked people to stop the fire.

"The next step is to crush the rapeseed with a stone mill." Yun Yiyi ordered his servants to pour the fried rapeseed into the groove of the stone mill.

Underneath, there is a connected windmill, and Yun Yiyi uses the water flow as the power to crush the rapeseed.

The whole process does not require manpower.

"Ma'am, is this considered to be crushing?" Li Yao asked.

Yun Yiyi walked over, scooped some up with her hands and looked at them carefully, the rapeseeds were already in a ball shape and felt swollen.

"That's enough. Next, put the powder in a wooden vat and steam it." Yun Yiyi ordered.

The rapeseed powder was put into the jar, and Yun Yiyi tied a knot with straw and put it on top.

As soon as the fire below started, the water vapor surged up.

"You look at the heat, it can't be steamed until it's fully cooked, as long as it's soft." Yun Yiyi said to the fire girl.

She turned to look at Li Yao: "Go find some clean straw, the more the better."

Li Yao responded and left.

After the rapeseed flour was steamed until softened, Yun Yiyi asked everyone to embed the straw into the iron ring, put the cooked flour into it, took out a wooden crutch, and hammered the straw-wrapped flour into the shape of a big round cake .

"You put these powdered cakes into wooden troughs and fix them with wooden wedges."

Yun Yiyi demonstrated while doing.

Pressing and adding wedges requires these cakes to be stacked together in an orderly manner to facilitate subsequent operations.

"Ma'am, what should I do next?"

They don't know how to use these tools at all.

After loading the cake, Yun Yiyi went to the other side and stuffed a piece of wood.

"You put this ram on the beam first."

Yun Yi looked at the heavy hammer on the ground.

Several big men exerted their strength and quickly placed the heavy hammer in place.

In order to avoid accidents, Li Yao even shook it a few times. After making sure that he would not fall, he walked up to Yun Yiyi, cupped his fists and said, "Ma'am, it's already installed."

Yun Yiyi nodded.

"You just use this heavy hammer to hit a wedge that I just inserted between the wooden blocks."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and you are all stunned.

Seeing this, Yun Yiyi walked to the heavy hammer and looked at Li Yao: "Come here and help me."

The hammer was so heavy that she couldn't push it by herself.

Li Yao came over, and according to Yun Yiyi's order, began to hit the wedge.

With his movement, the wedge was driven into the barrel, squeezed by gravity, the oil flowed out slowly, and dripped into the barrel impartially.

"Hey, it's really oily, you see." Someone exclaimed.

The indoor light is not good, and the drops of oil have a dark yellow luster.

Li Yao sniffed: "This oil smells so good."

He is the closest.

Therefore, the smell is also the strongest.

"Why are you standing there? Why don't you hurry up and help?" Li Yao looked at the crowd and said angrily.

"That's fine."

After being interrupted by Li Yao, everyone came back to their senses.

"I'm coming."

Without waiting for Yun Yiyi's order, a few strong men came uninvited, took over the work from Li Yao, and slammed the heavy hammer into the wedge.
