Chapter 1128 - 1128: Oil Mill Successfully Made
Up until now, he still didn’t know what Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were doing in the workshop. Everyone in Lin’s Garden had kept it a secret from him.
This made him very depressed.
He was a businessman, but he was not a despicable businessman.
Was there a need to be so wary of him?
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, ” Yes, it’s an oil press!
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s answer without hesitation, Liu Yichen was a little surprised and suddenly felt touched.
Everyone here was on guard against him. Only his sister, Lin Yuelan, who was also the master of Lin’s Garden, could tell him without hesitation.
However, what surprised him, even more, was that this was the first time he heard of an ‘I oil press ” from Lin Yuelan.
He asked, “ Oil press? What is an oil press?”
Lin Yuelan said, ” It’s a machine used to squeeze peanuts and corn to produce”
Liu Yichen was confused.
He didn’t understand.
Lin Yuelan waved her hand and said, I ‘ Forget it. You’ll understand when you go and take a look later. ‘
Lin Yuelan then asked, i ‘ Butler, I asked you to prepare the peanuts according to my instructions last time. Have you done it? ‘
The butler immediately said, ” Master, it’s all done!
As he spoke, he asked someone to move out a few peanut cakes that were bound with iron hoops. Then, he asked, Master, are you moving them to the factory?
This factory was usually used for experiments.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, ” Yes. ” Then, she said, ” Make these 20 baskets of peanuts into pancakes as well. ‘
“Yes, sir!” the butler replied. Then, he arranged for people to move the twenty baskets of peanuts down.
These peanuts had already been dried and were directly mashed into pancakes.
Lin Deshan, Doctor Zhang, and Liu Yichen were extremely curious about this oil press. They all followed her to the back of the factory.
The moment they entered, they saw the oil press that Lin Yuelan mentioned.
This was a machine made entirely of wood. It was as tall as a person and looked very complicated.
Lin Deshan and Doctor Zhang curiously touched it, and they couldn’t suppress the amazement in their eyes.
Lin Deshan asked curiously, ” Girl, is this the oil press?
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, ” This type of oil press is called a horizontal wedge oil press. The part in the middle that looks like it is in the air is called the pressing chamber. After the oil cake was loaded in the pressing chamber, a wooden block was stuffed into one side of the oil cake, and then a triangular wedge between the wooden blocks was hit by a hanging ram. As the wedge was driven into the pressing chamber, the wooden block placed horizontally in the pressing chamber would produce a squeezing force on the oil cake. As this power continues to increase, there will be clear oil flowing out.”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s explanation, everyone started to observe the press. However, they did not participate in the design and production process after all, so they did not quite understand the principle behind it.
However, if the principle were so easy to understand, it would be very easy for people to imitate it.
Liu Yichen was indeed a businessman. He reacted quickly and said, ” So, you got someone to crush these peanuts and shape them into pancakes! It’s so that you can put it into this chamber and squeeze out the oil.” Lin Yuelan nodded and said, ” That’s right!
Then, she said to Jiang Zhennan, ” Brother Nan, let’s begin!
Jiang Zhennan nodded. Then, he took out the peanut cakes from the basket and placed them in the oil press. Then, he walked to the side and began to push the ram to hit a triangular wedge between the wooden blocks.
After a while, everyone smelled a smell that was even stronger than the fragrance of fried peanuts. It was exceptionally pleasant. Not long after, they saw a stream of clear oil flowing out of the mouth of the oil press.
“It smells so good!”
Other than Lin Yuelan, the others couldn’t help but sniffle. They had never smelled such a fragrance before.
“Is this the peanut oil that the girl was talking about? It really smells good.”
Doctor Zhang could not help but ask, ” Girl, can this oil really be used to cook?
Lin Yuelan was speechless for a moment. Then, she said, ” Grandmaster, peanuts can be eaten. Why can’t peanut oil be used to cook? ‘
Lin Deshan said, ” Old Zhang, are you confused? You don’t even understand such simple logic. If you can eat peanuts, why can’t you cook with peanut oil?”
Doctor Zhang blushed and said to Lin Deshan, ” I was too excited and forgot.
Girl, can we use this peanut oil for cooking today?”
Hearing Doctor Zhang’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
They also wanted to try the dishes made with peanut oil.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, ” Of course!
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited!
Especially since Liu Yichen rarely visited Taoyuan Village, he was even more curious about these new things.
Liu Yichen asked excitedly, ” Sister, if your peanut oil is sold to the market, won’t everyone be able to buy it? ” Lard was made from fatty meat. It was very expensive, and ordinary people could not bear to eat it.
However, peanut oil came from peanuts, which were relatively cheap for farmers.
As long as peanut oil was not expensive, many people would be able to eat it.
Liu Yichen was not concerned about the farmers. In fact, he saw a huge business opportunity here.
Only Lin Yuelan had mastered the technique of extracting peanut oil. Therefore, he could cooperate with Lin Yuelan and sell this oil to all parts of the country or even the whole world.
Lin Yuelan smiled at Liu Yichen’s question without answering.
This kind of oil press was not like the modern ones that used machine oil to drive the oil out. It had to be manually operated and constantly hit to produce oil.
This time, it was an experiment, so Jiang Zhennan personally rammed it. In addition, he had high martial strength, so pushing wood and ramminz it was not a problem.
However, if they really needed to extract oil, they still needed to recruit young and strong men to do this kind of work.
Of course, as long as Lin Yuelan gave the order, her subordinates would take care of everything. She didn’t need to worry about it.
After Jiang Zhennan operated the press for a while, Lin Yuelan asked two guards to take over Jiang Zhennan’s work and continue.
By the time the two baskets were done, about 30 peanut cakes were made, which was about 100 catties. After they were all squeezed, half a day had passed.
Lin Yuelan estimated that they had spent about three hours.
This was because Jiang Zhennan and his two guards had sufficient manpower.
If it was someone who did not have martial arts, it might take a longer time, perhaps five to six hours.
Looking at the shiny oil, it should weigh 15 to 20 pounds.
It was about 5 to 8 pounds less than what was squeezed out by modern machinery.
That was enough.
Lin Yuelan smiled..
