The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again
Chapter 97 Rapeseed
“Yes, uncle, this tea oil is the oil we squeezed from tea seeds picked from the mountains.
This oil is golden in color, pure in quality, fragrant in smell and pure in taste.
It can not only be eaten, but also used externally.
Tea oil is cool in nature and has the effects of cooling blood, stopping bleeding, clearing away heat and detoxifying.
Apply it on wounds caused by bumps, injuries, burns or scalds, and the swelling-reducing effect is very obvious.
If your throat is sore due to inflammation, take a sip of tea oil, it will quickly reduce the inflammation and relieve the pain.
Tea dregs that have been pressed for oil have very strong bactericidal and decontamination abilities and can be used to wash your hair. They have the effect of preventing hair loss and nourishing hair.
Tea dregs can also be used to fertilize fields and prevent insects.”
Zhang Shizhong's eyes lit up when he heard this. If such a good thing could be mass-produced, it would be a blessing for the soldiers guarding the border.
"This is serious! Zhang Fu, quickly go get a bowl of tea oil."
Zhang Fu took the order and left. After a moment he brought back half a bowl of yellow and fragrant tea oil.
Zhang Shizhong took the tea oil and took a sip.
The taste is mellow and smooth, warm and not greasy, a little bit bitter, with a sweet aftertaste.
"Good, good oil! How much is the yield of this oil? Is the cultivation complicated?"
Zhang Shizhong was overjoyed. If the yield was high, wouldn't everyone be able to eat such good oil?
"This oil is picked from wild tea seeds on the mountain. The process of picking, shelling, seed selection and pressing is complicated. The tea oil harvesting period is short. One hundred kilograms of dry seeds can produce 28 kilograms of oil, so the yield is not high.
Camellia trees grow slowly and have a long planting cycle, so they cannot currently meet the public’s demand for oil.”
Cheng Zeli's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Zhang Shizhong's enthusiasm.
“But in addition to tea oil seeds, there are other crops that can also be used to extract oil, and it is simpler and more effective.
Rapeseed is one of them. One hundred kilograms of rapeseed can produce about 40 kilograms of oil.
We can plant rapeseed after the autumn harvest. Rapeseed can also be planted in winter and harvested in four to five months. After the rapeseed is harvested, it will be just in time for spring ploughing.”
Zhang Shizhong, who was originally feeling depressed, did not expect that there would be a sudden turn of events and a surprise waiting for him.
"What are you waiting for? Where can I buy rapeseed seeds? Let's get everyone to plant rapeseed!"
Seeing Zhang Shizhong's impatient attitude, Cheng Zeli knew that he could safely hand over this matter to him.
"Uncle, I need to discuss the matter of growing rapeseed with you in detail."
Cheng Zeli looked around at everyone, and everyone understood and found excuses to go out, leaving the uncle and nephew in the house.
It was not until an hour later that the two came out of the house.
Thinking that his sister's son was so outstanding, Zhang Shizhong even looked at Old Man Cheng on purpose, which made him feel creepy.
"Ze Li, you will be taking the college entrance examination in a few days. Are you sure? I have a lot of books. I will ask someone to send them to you later."
"Thank you, uncle. I would be very grateful if you would accept my offer. I have been studying very hard under the urging of my father-in-law this year. I am determined to achieve the title of scholar."
"Good! You are confident and proud. You are worthy of being my nephew. Your uncle has high hopes for you."
The Cheng family and Zhang Shizhong lived together in Pingyang County for two days, and then they had to part again. Zhang was worried that the rapeseed at home had not been planted yet, and Zhang Shizhong also had important things waiting for him to do.
After the brother and sister agreed on the next time they would meet, they reluctantly parted again.
The difference from the last separation is that this separation is to prepare for a better reunion next time.
A few days later, a notice was posted outside the Pingyang County government office, asking everyone to go to the county office to collect rapeseed and take it home to plant. After the rapeseed was harvested, they had to return twice the weight of the seeds to the county office.
It also states the uses of rapeseed, which can be used to extract oil. One hundred kilograms of rapeseed can produce forty kilograms of oil.
Such a good thing actually happened, and the people were skeptical. They hoped it was true, but were also afraid it was a fraud.
For a while, people were talking about it on the streets and after dinner, but no one went to get the seeds.
Because Cheng Zeli was about to take an exam, he did not return to the village, so he continued to live with Zhang Shizhong in a house in Pingyang County.
Seeing that Zhang Shizhong was worried about no one taking the seeds, he used his brain a little and came up with a solution.
The next day, several yamen runners carried a long table and placed it outside the county government office.
Cheng Zeli brought a few young men from the village to bring a few cans of oil and a stack of white porcelain teacups. Using a small spoon, he scooped half a cup of oil into each cup.
"Fellow villagers, if you pass by, don't miss it, come and have a look, come and taste the freshly squeezed and fragrant rapeseed oil."
After saying that, he picked up a cup, held it high, slowly poured the oil into his mouth, and then swallowed it.
"Look everyone, you watched me pour this oil into the cup with your own eyes. I am drinking it now, and there is no problem at all. If you dare to challenge it, come up and try it.
The first ten people who come up to try the drink will each receive five kilograms of oil."
As soon as the words fell, the crowd rushed forward.
Regardless of whether it is drinkable or not, who doesn’t want something for free?
"I'll come, I'd like to be the first to try it!"
"I'm second!"
"I'm third!"
"......"
The crowd rushed forward, fortunately there were yamen runners blocking the way, otherwise the oil pipe on the table would have been broken.
"Line up, line up, line up, the first ten people in line come up!"
In an instant, the chaotic crowd turned into a neat team.
"Okay, please invite the first ten to come to the stage. First, let's try the rapeseed oil."
The ten people picked up the cups and took a sip. Unlike the stickiness of lard, rapeseed oil had a unique fragrance, and they were immediately delighted.
"This is real oil, fragrant and smooth, and tastes better than lard."
The crowd below, who were eagerly watching them, instantly began to boil like a pot of water that had just been boiled.
“Please be quiet for a moment. I will introduce several oils to you.
This is soybean oil squeezed from soybeans, this is peanut oil squeezed from peanuts, this is sunflower oil squeezed from sunflower seeds, this is sesame oil squeezed from sesame seeds, and this is tea oil squeezed from camellia seeds.”
Then he asked ten people to try several oils, and they all gave him favorable comments.
The vegetable oil introduction meeting was a complete success and had a huge impact.
Someone immediately went to the county government office to get rapeseed to plant.
County Magistrate Yuan Qingping was overjoyed. He believed that the Cheng family was indeed his lucky star.
After the incident involving the gangsters was reported last time, he was about to lose his job.
Unexpectedly, the general who guards the country resigned and returned to Yinzhou County at this time. The new Yinzhou County Magistrate was said to have a close relationship with him, so the general interceded for him.
In the end, because he knew about the flood in advance and avoided greater casualties, his merits and demerits were offset and he was neither rewarded nor punished, and he continued to serve as the magistrate of Pingyang County.
This is already the best result.
It was the Cheng family who reminded him of the flood in advance, and this great thing about rapeseed was also related to them.
If he could really grow rapeseed and squeeze out oil, regardless of whether it would be a credit or not, he did not have much ambition and just wanted to be a county magistrate in Pingyang County in peace and stability.
The main thing is that people's lives will be improved.
Before it even started, he seemed to have seen that in the next few years, under the leadership of the Cheng family, Pingyang County will usher in rapid development and prosperity.
Cheng Zeli was not interested in what the county magistrate thought.
Reputation is like arsenic to Chengjia Village at present, it is poisonous.
They also need to lie dormant in the dark and slowly accumulate strength.
He will also take the college entrance examination in three days.
