Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 256

Time passed very quickly, and seven days came in the blink of an eye. Xiao Hong took Wang Chen to the oil pressing workshop. At this time, the craftsmen had made all the tools and utensils according to Xiao Hong's requirements.

"Well, it's very well done." Xiao Hong looked at these utensils and said, "I appreciate it."

Wang Chen stepped forward and rewarded each craftsman with thirty coins, which was already a large sum of money for them.

"I don't know if all the craftsmen present here are willing to follow me, and they will become my private craftsmen from now on." Xiao Hong felt that the craftsmanship of these craftsmen was very good, so he decided to take them all under his command.

"I am willing to follow Lord Wu An." All the craftsmen bowed down in front of Xiao Hong.

"Get up, all of you, since you are all my lord's people, this lord will not treat you badly. Are you all married?" Xiao Hong looked at everyone with a smile and asked.

"When I return to your Majesty, only Ermao and Mazi will be alone, and the rest have married," the leader of the craftsmen bowed and said.

"What's your name?" Xiao Hong looked at the craftsman who kept replying and asked.

"If you go back to your majesty, the smaller one is called Zhuzi"

"Zhuzi, then you will be the manager of this group of craftsmen from now on. I will give you ten days to bring your family members to Xianyang, and I will provide you with accommodation," Xiao Hong said while looking at Zhuzi.

"Thank you for your great kindness." Zhuzi led a group of craftsmen to kneel down again.

"Everyone, get up. We don't want to kneel down here. Just bow down and salute from now on. Wang Chen will send his guards to escort them home. As for their residence, I remember that there is a manor outside the city, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty rewarded you with a manor, which is only one mile away from Xianyang." Wang Chen bowed and said.

"Okay, then you and your family will stay in the manor first. I will arrange a new place for you in the future. You can go down first." Xiao Hong waved his hand.

"Here" Zhu Zhu bowed and accepted the order, then retreated with the group of craftsmen.

Now that Xiao Hong has taken all these craftsmen into his employ, he must let them live in Xianyang, and in order for them to settle down in Xianyang, their family members must move here.

"Wang Chen, where are the servants I asked you to recruit?" Xiao Hong asked after the craftsmen had all retreated.

"Return to Your Majesty, these servants are all waiting in the north wing"

"Let them all come over"

"Here." Wang Chen bowed and retreated.

After Wang Chen retreated, Xiao Hong took out all the rapeseeds and piled them on the ground.

"Your Majesty, everyone has brought them here"

A group followed Wang Chen to Xiao Hong, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "See Mr. Wu An"

"Excuse me, who among you is in charge?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's the young one," a middle-aged man bowed and said.

"what's your name?"

"Go back to your Majesty, the younger one is called Ergou."

"Well, you divide them into five groups."

Soon Ergou divided the group of people into five groups according to Xiao Hong's request.

"You all come with me." Xiao Hong asked someone to load a lot of rapeseeds and went to the room dedicated to frying rapeseeds.

Here, according to Xiao Hong's request, the craftsmen built a huge iron pot and two large shovels.

"Pour all these rapeseeds into an iron pot and turn on the fire. Stir-fry on a warm fire without stopping for a moment. When the time comes, use a wooden board to swing the rapeseeds to see the color: when the temperature is high, the bamboo leaves are green; when the temperature is normal, it is tea yellow; when the temperature is low , Old tea yellow, remember?" These are ancient crafts that Xiao Hong exchanged from the system.

"Report to Your Majesty, remember." Ergou stepped forward and bowed.

"Okay, then you guys come and try it." Xiao Hong stood aside and watched them start frying rapeseeds.

Although these guys were not well educated, they had really good memories and remembered everything Xiao Hong said verbatim.

After the rapeseeds are fried, it is time to crush them. For this purpose, Xiao Hong specially made a stone mill, and in order to ensure that all the rapeseeds could be crushed, Xiao Hong also found a cow. come over.

"Pour the fried rapeseed into the stone mill and crush them all," Xiao Hong directed the crowd.

Once the rapeseed seeds are crushed, it’s time to steam them.

Xiao Hong ordered people to put the rapeseed seeds that had been crushed into powder into a wooden retort. The wooden receptacle was filled with clean straw. The straw should be 100 to 120 cm long and must not be moldy or rotten.

After putting the rapeseed in place, you can start cooking with high heat, and wait until the gas comes from all sides of the retort and the soda is evenly distributed.

Next, Xiao Hong asked people to embed the clean straw into the oil ring, put the steamed rapeseed embryo into it, use a hammer-like tool made of hardwood to tamp it, wrap the upper part of the rapeseed embryo tightly with straw, and step on it Solid, made into a cake shape, and then placed neatly in a wooden trough, arranged in an orderly manner, and initially fixed with wooden wedges.

These steps are the preparations for oil extraction, and this is also a key step in whether to extract good oil. If you make a mistake, you have to start all over again.

"Have you all remembered these steps?" Xiao Hong asked after watching them arrange the rapeseed straw cakes.

"I remember everything." Everyone nodded.

"Okay, these steps are the key to oil refining, so you can't make mistakes in one step, and the next step is oil refining. I will show you a demonstration, and you can watch it." Xiao Hong decided that it is too slow to teach step by step, so he should demonstrate it by himself. One side is faster.

Xiao Hong swung the suspended striking rod to hit the wooden wedge. With Xiao Hong's impact, strands of golden clear oil flowed out from the small opening in the middle of the oil tank and flowed into the iron can prepared early in the morning.

During the oiling process, wooden wedges need to be added continuously and timely to increase enough force to squeeze out all the oil in the rapeseed.

The rapeseed oil extracted at this time cannot be used because there are still many impurities in it and require sedimentation and filtration. This step is the longest step in the entire refining of rapeseed oil. It takes about fifteen to 30 days. The main thing is to see Temperature highs.

"When each tin can is full, it is moved to a nearby house and allowed to settle until the impurities in the oil are separated. The separated oil is then scooped out and poured into another tin can. All the prepared oil is Put them all into the house at the door, do you understand?" Xiao Hong let go of the hitting rod.

"Okay, Ergou, take them and start refining oil. I will come back later." Xiao Hong led Wang Chen out of the oil mill.

"The seeds brought back from various places have matured one by one, and the vegetable oil has also been refined, so we can consider opening a big restaurant." Sitting on the carriage, Xiao Hong pondered.

Now Xiao Hong has two businesses that can make money, one is a newspaper office, but the current efficiency of making money is not high, and the other is the Daqin Mining Group, but this Xiao Hong only has [-]% of the shares, and even if it is a penny It is also divided once a year at the end of the year, and it will not work. (Liulifang belongs to Daqin Mining Group, but it is not managed by them, and its income is also counted in Daqin Mining Group)
As Xiao Hong's stalls grew bigger and bigger, and there were more and more places to spend money, these two industries were no longer enough for Xiao Hong's expenses, so he had to find another profitable industry, and the tavern was a very good thing.

With Xiao Hong's chefs, various ingredients and Wu Anjun's reputation, this tavern will definitely make a lot of money as long as it is opened, and with Xiao Hong's current status, he does not need to distribute the shares of the tavern to anyone else.
