Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Under the arrangement of the village chief, everyone divided the work and did their jobs in an orderly manner. As for supervision, it was left to the He Jing brothers.

The village chief said, don't think about being lazy, this is an inn built with funds from everyone, the sooner it is completed the sooner it can be put into use and the sooner the investment can be recovered.

Since the inn was run by the village chief and his sons, Shen Ping felt relieved. These days she was busy looking for workers to open an oil press.

Now the purchase of peppers has come to an end and the purchase of peanuts has begun. Peanut oil extraction was still a blank in the Dazhi Dynasty.

She doesn't need to worry about the acquisition work, but she is worried about how to start pressing oil. She saw a solar oil press in the mall. Although small, it has all the necessary functions.

I have the machine, but I don't know how to operate it. Although there is an instruction manual, it is not enough to just read it. I have to operate it in practice.

Shen Ping found Niu's younger brother Niu Wu and asked him to find two men to come and install the machine according to the instructions. This oil press is a fully dynamic shelling machine.

After the shells are removed, one man will fry the peanuts until they turn yellow, and the other two will pick them up and put them into the hopper.

Press the switch and the machine starts working automatically. After squeezing, the peanut oil flows out and flows continuously to the fully automatic filter, and then flows out from the oil outlet, while the peanut bran comes out from another outlet.

But for some reason, the oil that was squeezed out was a little black in color. Later, after repeated experiments, Shen Ping discovered that frying peanuts was the key.

The peanuts cannot be burnt. After many trials, I finally mastered the heat and fried out golden peanut oil.

This oil press can be operated by three people and can produce several thousand kilograms of oil every day.

Several men watched as the peanuts were poured in and the peanut oil flowed out from the oil outlet. They were stunned with surprise.

"Boss, how come these peanuts are so magical that they can be used to produce oil!" Niu Wu said in amazement.

Shen Ping raised her lips and said, "Of course, this oil is very fragrant, even more fragrant than lard. If you don't believe me, smell it!"

Niu Wu looked at the crystal clear peanut oil in the barrel and immediately leaned in to smell it. A fragrant smell of peanuts filled his nose.

Niu Wu took a deep breath, his face intoxicated: "Boss, you are right, it really smells good, how much is this thing per pound?"

Shen Ping smiled: "It's very expensive if you want to buy it, but if you have peanuts at home, you can bring them to me for pressing. I'll just charge a processing fee."

However, the purchase price of peanuts is high, reaching 15 cents per pound. Most people are reluctant to squeeze the oil themselves because only three ounces of oil can be squeezed out of a pound of peanuts.

In other words, 7 cents can buy one pound of pork fat, and 15 cents can buy two pounds of pork fat.

Let's ask the villagers, would they rather have two kilograms of lard or three ounces of peanut oil? The answer is of course lard.

After hearing what Shen Ping said, Niu Wu immediately shut his mouth. Forget it, he would just eat lard!

Shen Ping wanted to test the market. If the frying oil couldn't be sold now, she could put it aside for now and wait for Manager Chen to come and see if she could sell the peanut oil to the capital or the palace.

She knew that many rich people liked new and novel things. There were many rich people in Beijing. Although peanut oil was expensive, they would still buy it if they were interested.

Therefore, Shen Ping's peanut oil takes the high-end route.

In addition, Shen Ping bought the oil press after careful consideration, because some skin care products have a tea seed series, and she would have to purchase tea seeds in the future. With this oil press, she can extract tea seed oil.

Traditional manual oil pressing is slow and has a low oil yield. That’s why she considered buying this oil press, which can press both tea oil and peanut oil.

When the owners of major restaurants came to order chili sauce, Shen Ping took the opportunity to promote peanut oil to them.

On this day, Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Xiao from Xiaoyao Pavilion and Caidiexuan met each other. They happened to meet at the entrance of the village.

We are all used to eating lard, so when we see peanut oil for the first time, we think it is quite fresh.

But when they asked about the price, they backed out. My goodness, this peanut oil costs 500 wen per pound, while this pork fat is only 7 wen per pound, and one pound of pork fat can make 6 taels of lard.

"Madam Shen, it's not that I don't want to buy it, your price is indeed too high." Manager Liu of Xiaoyao Pavilion shook his head repeatedly.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, what about you?" Shen Ping turned her head and asked.

Shopkeeper Xiao smiled awkwardly: "Xiaoyao Pavilion doesn't dare to accept it, and our Caidiexuan shop is small, so we dare not accept it even more.

"In that case, I won't force you, but don't blame me for not giving you this opportunity to make a fortune!" Shen Ping said calmly.

Good wine needs no bush, so she is not worried.

When Shopkeeper Qiu came over, Shen Ping started to sell him the peanut oil again. Shopkeeper Qiu wanted to refuse at first, but he was too embarrassed to say it. After thinking it over, he agreed to take five kilograms to try first.

Five catties is only two taels of silver, or 500 coins. You can try it first. If it doesn't work, you can refuse it later without being embarrassed.

With the intention of giving it a try, Shopkeeper Qiu took the five kilograms of peanut oil back.

She followed the marketing strategy Shen Ping had told him and wrote a notice at the door: Our store offers special stir-fried dishes made with secret sesame oil, the quantity is limited, and everyone is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Although Heyang County is small, there are many wealthy people. Especially what Jufulou does is all business for wealthy people.

After the announcement was made, many old customers started to think about it. The secret sesame oil is something you have to try.

The restaurant was full of people that day, and everyone ordered dishes fried with secret sesame oil. Of course, dishes fried with peanut oil were twice as expensive as those fried with lard.

Each dish costs about 50 coins. Everyone looked at the menu and wondered in their hearts, this is dozens of coins more expensive than usual, is it worth the price?

But unable to resist their curiosity, many people still ordered it.

When the dishes were served and everyone put them into their mouths, they really understood that it was really fragrant, an indescribable fragrance, fragrant but not greasy, and they couldn't stop eating. Suddenly, many people whispered to each other.

“The dishes cooked with this secret sesame oil are really delicious!”

"Well, it's good, worth the price! I have to ask Boss Li to come over and try it tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Qiu didn't expect that everyone's reaction to the peanut oil would be so strong. It was really beyond his expectations. In less than half a day, the five kilograms of peanut oil were almost used up.

But Manager Qiu was so happy that he immediately asked his brother-in-law Wu Ren to drive the horse-drawn carriage to Kaoshan Village to buy 100 kilograms of peanut oil.

Shen Ping smiled as soon as she saw Wu Ren. She knew that this peanut oil would be popular.

Although lard is cheap and fragrant, it is too greasy. The dishes cooked with it are too oily and have an animal flavor. Ordinary people probably won't like it.

But for wealthy families who have no shortage of meat, the fragrance of peanut oil is more tempting than the greasiness of lard.

"Mrs. Shen, my boss said he wants 100 kilograms of peanut oil!" Wu Ren didn't even have time to rest and quickly asked Shen Ping to pack the peanut oil.

"Don't worry, it will be ready soon!" Shen Ping said, and asked someone to bring out two buckets of peanut oil.

Considering the bumpy mountain road, the mouth of the jar was sealed tightly and straw was tied on the edge to prevent impact.

This oil is really expensive. I don’t know why my brother-in-law wants this oil. Wu Ren looked distressed and handed over the 50 taels of silver in his hand.
