Starting Today, I'll Work as a City Lord.

And like Zuixiaolou and various gourmet restaurants, they now use peanut oil, but due to the quantity, they are not sold to the outside world for the time being.

When peanuts are grown as vegetables in greenhouses, a large number of seeds are left, and when they open up wasteland and cultivate land, they are planted together with potatoes.

"Since you're here, let's go and have a look." Liu Feng said softly.

"Okay." An Li happily replied, and followed Liu Feng to the depths of the workshop.

Before coming to the oil press workshop, there were eight soldiers on duty at the door, in order to prevent irrelevant people from breaking in. After all, Liu Feng didn't intend to let other people know about oil.

In the future, this peanut oil will also be an indispensable item in the daily life of ordinary people. It can be said to be on the same level as salt. After all, it is firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.

"My lord." Seeing Liu Feng's arrival, the eight soldiers quickly saluted.

Liu Feng nodded, and took Mina and An Li to the workshop.

"Boom..."

"Buzzing..."

Before entering the door, the sound of the steam engine has already been heard. In the workshop, there are three presses driven by the steam engine, which are working.

The press was made by the scientific research department based on the blueprint given by Liu Feng. It is in the shape of a vertical barrel, and the pressure is powered by a steam engine.

Pressing peanut oil is to directly separate the oil from the raw material by physical pressure, without any chemical additives in the whole process.

Before the steam engine appeared, peanut oil was pressed manually, which was the most primitive way of pressing peanut oil, and the amount of oil produced was enough for several shops.

Now with the advent of the steam engine, the amount of peanut oil is more, but now it is also limited by the raw material of peanuts.

"Buzzing..."

After the three of Liu Feng entered the workshop, they frowned at the noise, and then looked around seriously.

"Wow, there are a lot of people peeling peanut shells." Enli looked at a group of people peeling peanut shells in surprise.

She knew about the peanuts. When the first batch of peanuts were harvested, Liu Feng took some to the castle and asked Nicole to fry them into salty and fragrant peanuts. They can be eaten as snacks when nothing happens.

"Let's go, take a look in front." Liu Feng walked towards the inside of the workshop.

"Rumble..."

The further you go inside, the louder the sound of the steam engine.

Liu Feng took Mina and An Li to refer to the stir-frying process. Before pressing the peanuts, some moisture must be removed, and the peanuts must be stir-fried until they are 6 to 8 mature before pressing the oil.

"It's so delicious." An Li held the fried peanuts in her hand and was stuffing them into her mouth.

"It's quite fragrant, but it's not salty." Mina also commented that it was less salty than Nicole's stir-fried peanuts.

"..." Liu Feng rolled his eyes and led the two into the pressing workshop.

The stir-fried peanuts are sent to the pressing workshop, and then poured into the funnel-shaped feeding port, and then pressed to squeeze out the peanut oil, followed by filtration and sedimentation, and the production of peanut oil is completed.

"Hey, that's how the oil comes from." An Li exclaimed, walking around the press twice, with little stars in her eyes.

Mina has already seen Liu Feng before, and she was surprised when she first learned that oil can also be obtained from peanuts.

It is hard to imagine that oil can be obtained from these small peanuts, which also let Mina know that oil can be obtained not only from animals, but also from plants.

"Master, it's amazing. The grains grown are so versatile." An Li admired, the sugarcane planted can be used to make sugar, and the peanuts now can be used to extract oil.

"Ta Tata..."

Liu Feng smiled, and turned to look at the head of the workshop who hurried over.

"Master City Lord." The person in charge of the oil press workshop walked over quickly. He was a member of the veterans.

"Can the production of oil keep up with the consumption now?" Liu Feng asked lightly.

"It can keep up, and there is even a lot of surplus, all of which have been stored in the warehouse." The person in charge responded.

"After a while, I will ask the scientific research department to send you another press machine." Liu Feng said calmly.

"Yes." The person in charge responded quickly.

"Open flames are strictly prohibited in the workshop, you must pay attention to this." Liu Feng said seriously.

It's full of oil here, and if it catches fire, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes, we will definitely pay attention..." The person in charge replied respectfully, still aware of the seriousness of this matter, and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Liu Feng inspected around and left with Mina and An Li after finding nothing wrong. After all, the smell in the oil press workshop was really not pleasant after a long time.

"Master, I've only been inside for a while, and my whole body feels a little greasy." An Li pouted as she stroked her hair.

"It's the same as last time I came here. Just go back and take a shower with soap." Mina gently helped Liu Feng remove the debris on her body. She just washed her hair last night, and she has to wash it again when she goes back today.

I don't know why, I used to find it bothersome to wash my hair once, but now I don't find it troublesome even if I wash it every day.

Every time I wash my hair, I feel refreshed and my hair is no longer greasy or itchy.

"Master, the soap is about to run out." An Li whispered.

When she took a bath with soap for the first time, she realized that it could be washed so clean and had a faint fragrance. Now that she doesn't use soap, she is not used to it.

Especially now in summer, when the whole body is sticky after sweating, it is even more necessary to take a bath with soap.

"No more?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows. It's been a long time since the last time he brought soap.
