Tamer: I Build My Home on the Back of Xuanwu

"That's enough." Mu Liang called to stop.

He stretched out his hand and made a cylindrical container out of glass, nearly one meter in height and half a meter in diameter.

The bottom of the cylindrical container is sealed, leaving only a few slender gaps.

Mu Liang also made a four-legged frame out of colored glaze, with a round center, used to stand the cylindrical container.

A large basin can be placed in the shelf to hold the pressed oil.

"Pour in the roasted peanuts." Mu Liang gestured with his hand.

"Okay." Xiaomi and Yao Er cooperated and poured all the peanuts into the cylindrical container.

Mu Liang flattened the peanuts with his hands, and then used glass to make a solid column as big as the container.

Put the solid column into the container and start squeezing the peanuts inside.

"¨〃The next step is physical work." Mu Liang stretched out his hand and made a huge hammer out of colored glass.

"Hey!!"

He raised the sledgehammer and hit the solid column hard.

With each blow he struck, the solid column squeezed the peanuts, making the gap between them smaller and smaller.

tick tock...

From the bottom of the cylindrical container, dark golden peanut oil began to flow out and fell into the large basin.

"Is this peanut oil?" Xiaomi's beautiful eyes widened.

"So it's this color." Yao Er tilted her head.

She watched more and more peanut oil dripping, changing from dripping to flowing.

bang bang bang...

Mu Liang continued to tap, and the loud sound attracted Yue Feiyan who hadn't gone to the Thousand Thorns Pass.

"What are you doing?" Yue Feiyan asked in surprise.

Yao Er replied on his behalf: "Lord Mu Liang is extracting oil."

"Pressing oil? It looks like it's fun." Yue Feiyan became playful, eager to try and came to Mu Liang's side.

"Want to try?" Mu Liang smiled.

"Uh-huh."

Yue Feiyan rubbed her small hands in front of her body, she nodded quickly and said, "I'm also very strong."

"Okay, you come." Mu Liang paused, and handed the sledgehammer to the red-haired girl.

"Hey!!"

Yue Feiyan held the long handle of the sledgehammer with both hands, shouted coquettishly, and with all her strength, raised the sledgehammer and smashed it down again.

"It needs to be improved, the efficiency of extracting oil like this is too low." Mu Liang stretched out his hand and stroked his chin.

He thought in his mind how to make the oil press.

After the peanut planting scale is expanded, an oil extraction workshop will be opened.

Pressing oil according to the ancient method will require a lot of workers.

In today's shortage of manpower, it is necessary to find a way to save manpower.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .No.

"Aha!!"

Yue Feiyan raised the long hammer high, and then threw it at the solid pillar with all her strength.

Bang~~

With a muffled sound, the dark golden peanut oil flowed out faster.

"Master Mu Liang, can the oil you squeeze out be used directly?" Xiaomi asked with her head turned.

"It still needs to be processed briefly before it can be used." Mu Liang said gently.

He remembered that peanuts were one of the most susceptible crops to be infected by Aspergillus flavus from the knowledge he had learned on earth.

Aspergillus flavus is a hepatocarcinogenic toxin, which is highly toxic and has a strong carcinogenic effect on humans and animals.

To be cautious, the peanut oil is still processed.

"Lord Mu Liang, what should we do?" Yao Er asked with interest.

Mu Liang said softly: "Use activated carbon to filter all the peanut oil."

"Activated charcoal..."

Xiaomi blinked, what is activated carbon?

She asked curiously: "Lord Muliang, is it charcoal?"

"That's right, but it's different from the charcoal we usually use for barbecue." Mu Liang explained softly.

Activated carbon is a specially treated carbon.

It is also very simple to make.

Activated carbon can be produced by heating wood, coal and other organic matter under the condition of isolating the air, and then contacting 730 with air after carbonization.

Non-carbon components can be reduced by heating, which is called carbonization.

After carbonization, it reacts with gas, causing the surface of carbonized wood to be eroded to form dense micropores. This process is called activation.

Activated carbon can absorb a large number of Aspergillus flavus in peanut oil, and it can also make the color of peanut oil brighter.

Mu Liang recalled the physics knowledge in high school, and sighed in his heart: If you learn physics, mathematics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world.

"Xiaomi, go make some activated charcoal." Mu Liang said indifferently.

"How?" Xiaomi obediently stepped forward.

"Go find some wood, and then..." Mu Liang told him how to make activated charcoal.

"I see, let's try it now." Xiao Mi Jiaohan nodded, turned and left the palace.

"Hey!!"

Yue Feiyan raised the sledgehammer high, hitting the solid column one after another.

The rate at which the peanut oil came out slowed down, and in the end it was just a drop.

"Mu Liang, I can't squeeze the oil out." Yue Feiyan's hands paused.

"Dug out the peanuts and fry them again to squeeze out the oil." Mu Liang said lightly.

What is squeezed out now is the head oil.

"Okay." Yao Er nodded obediently.

Mu Liang stretched out his hand to pat the solid pillar, and the glass disintegrated and disappeared under his hands, saving the effort of digging it out.

Yao Er found an iron spoon, half of her body leaned into the oil press, digging hard peanuts.

"Leave the rest to you." Mu Liang said indifferently.

Yao Er raised her head and respectfully said, "No problem, Lord Mu Liang."

Mu Liang watched it for a while, then turned around and left to go back to the study.

He sat down, pulled a piece of paper, and began to design the oil press.

"It will be driven by water power." Mu Liang said to himself.

His strokes stop and go, and sometimes he uses glass to make small models to verify theories and assumptions.

.........

Commercial Street, inside the Treasure Building.

Luo Jia and Li Xiaogu changed into their overalls, holding a duster made of ferocious beast feathers in their hands, to clean the dust on the goods on the first floor.

"It doesn't look dirty at all, there is no dust at all." Li Xiaogu muttered in a low voice.

Luo Jia acted seriously, carefully picked up the goods on the counter, and gently wiped off the dust on them.

Behind the counter, the fox fairy was sitting with her legs crossed, her pink eyes half-closed, but she was actually observing Luo Jia.

"Good stuff." Luo Jia reached out and caressed the magnifying glass on the counter, and the fingerprints of his fingers were clearly visible under the lens.

She glanced at the price marked on the side: [-] primary and medium ferocious beast crystals.

"You can buy it if you like it." The fox fairy said lightly.

Luo Jia smiled and said gently, "I don't have a beast spar."

Hu Immortal frowned, and said tentatively: "With your strength, it shouldn't be."

Luo Jia raised the corners of his lips, but did not answer the fox fairy's words.

"Sister Fox Fairy, there is no one around now, do we have to work too?" Li Xiaogu came to the side of the guard woman with a duster.

"Of course, if you don't work, you won't get paid." Hu Immortal looked at Li Xiaogu amusedly.

"Okay..." Li Xiaogu pouted.

She wanted to go out to play, to go to the outer city to find Xi Beiqi and Yue Feiyan, instead of staying in the Zhenbao Building to clean up the dust.

Li Xiaogu rolled his eyes and asked, "Sister Fox Immortal, when are we going to the mountain city?"

"About eight days later." The fox fairy said lazily.

"Mountain city." Luo Jia's eyes flickered slightly.

The fox fairy sat up, looked up at the sky-blue long-haired woman, and asked with a smile: "Sister Luo Jia, it shouldn't be wrong to call you sister, right?"
