"Ahh More than half a ......" The man in his fifties who was questioned by Hong Tao was operating the refining press, raising his sweaty face full of confusion, and then looked at the person who was busy in front of the wok.

"Where is this guest from?" The man was relatively young, around thirty years old. Generally speaking, it is the master who works in the oil mill and operates the refinery. In addition to the relatively light physical work, it is also possible to check the quality of the previous processes from the last process and control the overall oil output. But Hong Tao felt that he might have guessed wrong, this man was the one who spoke in the oil mill.

"I am from Dengzhou, Hedong Road, and I don't grow rape flowers at home, and I don't have an oil mill. However, in the early years, I went to Huangzhou to run a business, saw the local big oil mill, and was familiar with the master craftsmen inside. Hearsay, but it doesn't hurt to try. Just try one pot, and if there is less oil, I will compensate. ”

How to convince strangers of their words is a technical task, and nonsense really can't be done. Hong Tao chose the simplest and most direct way, believe it or not, I will save you from worrying about it first.

"Dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name?" Look, as long as the word money is touched, the party who hopes to get benefits will immediately be polite, and no one will really push the benefits outward, especially if there is nothing to lose.

"Don't dare, my surname is Wang, my name is Dalang, the businessman family doesn't have a word, just call Da Lang ......" Hong Tao is awkward, it was really a mistake to give the right to the pseudonym to Wang Shi, Da Lang...... How do you hear how to think that your daughter-in-law may be called Jin Lian, and now even the eldest princess has been scolded.

"The villain's surname is Zhen, and this oil mill is run by himself. Coincidentally, my name is also Da Lang, it seems that it is fate, Da Lang, please go and sit in the back and taste our local tea here. "This man is very easy-going, very talkative, and has a talent for trading. However, his name is very immoral, and other people's Dalang is fake.

"No, I'm passing through here, and I still have a long way to go. The trick of Huangzhou people to squeeze oil is actually very simple, it is nothing more than ...... "fake is fake, Hong Tao doesn't want to rob this unlucky name." The politeness is exempted, Hong Tao plans to solve the problem quickly and do good deeds without leaving a name.

"Dalang, Dalang...... It's a mess here, and it's better to talk while having tea. Zhen Dalang had the intention of pounced and covered Hong Tao's mouth.

"Have you read a book?" Hong Tao understood, he was afraid that if he revealed the secret recipe, there would be competitors in the future.

This is very reasonable, buy a set of oil press equipment, especially the new oil press investment is quite large, one more competitor will be more risk. Hong Tao didn't want to cause trouble to others, so he immediately shut up and didn't talk about the oil extraction method, but he was a little interested in this Zhen Dalang. Judging by his style, he doesn't look like an ordinary rich rural family, so he should be a bit of a elementary school question.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I've been in cram school for four years......" Zhen Dalang immediately changed his style when he heard this, and he became a cultural person.

Cram schools, which are also the basic education system promoted by the promotion society in the vast rural areas. If young adults can't read the instructions, many farm tools, agricultural fertilizers and advanced farming methods will not be used, and cram schools are for these old people who are not suitable for entering the new school.

"Oh, why didn't you continue to take the exam?" Four-year cram school, this is almost the level of primary school and junior high school, the new school designed by Hong Tao does not have a junior high school, five years of primary school and two years of high school, and then you can be admitted to Yangtze River College.

It's not that I make do, but I don't have so much knowledge to teach, and I spend one-third of my second year of high school going to social practice, and I can't teach calculus and chemical element tables. Therefore, Zhen Dalang's knowledge is already very good, and his family can open an oil mill, and there must be no shortage of room and board fees for high school.

“…… Don't hide it from Da Lang, originally there was a little floating wealth in the family, and he planned to let his younger brother go to Guazhou Town to study. Later, something changed, and I had to go back to my hometown......" Zhen Dalang talked about this problem, and his emotions fluctuated a little, but he couldn't help it.

"Brother Zhen came over with his ears, the method of oil extraction is very simple, you will know it if I tell it once......" Hong Tao immediately changed his mind, he liked to listen to the people tell about their unlucky experiences, not to gloat, but to often get what they want to know from it. These things are difficult to obtain just by looking at the appearance of the prosperous age, and they must be heard by whoever is miserable.

What's the trick to oil extraction? Hong Tao just saw that the operation methods of Zhen's oil mill are correct, but there is negligence in the details. For example, the screening of oilseeds is not enough, and many impurities will affect the oil yield. Another example is that the temperature of the wok is not controlled steadily, and the flame should not be allowed to directly burn the bottom of the pan, but should be padded with a layer of tiles to change from burning to baking.

But these are not the most critical factors, and the way to improve the oil yield is particularly strange, only adding less than 10% of the bran to the sifted, cleaned, and heated oilseeds......

This method made Hong Tao think about it for a lifetime, but after a few years of actual operation, the craftsmen in Huangzhou inadvertently figured it out. How does it work...... Hong Tao hasn't figured it out yet, I'm afraid he won't be able to figure it out in this life.

"Ahh Does it really work? Zhen Dalang agreed with the first two methods, and as soon as he heard that this Wang Dalang was an expert, he said everything to the point. But he couldn't figure out the last trick, obviously in order to sift out the impurities, he was both over Luo and over water, and finally added bran, so what was the blind tossing in front of him?

"It's okay to try, if this pot is less oily, it's mine! If there are too many, Brother Zhen will enjoy his face and go to drink two glasses of water and wine with me to catch up with the old days. Didn't I go to a new school for two more years than Brother Zhen, so I can be regarded as the same class, right? ”

Hong Tao is still the old way to ask Zhen Dalang's questions, and he uses money to smash them. As a result, 90 percent of the oil will be produced, and the remaining 10 percent may not be effective, and everything will be risky.

The results of the test came out quickly, and there was indeed more oil, and Zhen Dalang also kept the secret. He took the bran blending process to the back room, and the other two helpers were unaware of the experiment, nor did they notice the slightest change in the amount of oil.

Zhen Dalang is a trustworthy person, although his face is full of yearning for the increase in oil production, he still honestly followed Hong Tao into the carriage and went to Tufang Town, which is five miles away. There is a carved building there is very famous, of course, the famous is limited to the nearby ten miles and eight towns, whether it is the dishes or the wine are too far away from the wind and snow building.

"Brother Wang, how can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world, when I first came, I respected them as teachers, and I never slacked off when I asked for advice from time to time. But my father's 90 acres of fertile land have been passed down from his ancestors, and he has worked hard for generations, so how can he buy and sell on the grounds of small yield. After that, wouldn't the land of the Great Song Dynasty be controlled by the regent's family, and the fertilizers and pesticides were all produced by his family. ”

Not only are the dishes in the restaurant very ordinary, but the drinks are not bad, and the most primitive rice wine is not less mixed with water, and it tastes sour. But the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and Zhen Dalang, who is full of worries, immediately opened the conversation box after three glasses of sour wine. It's not that he was born with a quick mouth and quick tongue, but the effect of Hong Tao's sentence of the same door.

In such a remote village, it is rare for someone to be willing to go to cram school a few years ago. After learning so many new things, no one can communicate with him on weekdays, for fear that Zhen Dalang will not be able to hold it well. I finally met someone who could communicate, and I was willing to talk about it without asking.

What do you say? When people get to know each other at the beginning, there are usually only two topics, showing off or complaining. Zhen Dalang is the latter, it's not that he doesn't want to show off the unique oil mill in ten miles and eight towns, but the origin of the oil mill is really not worth showing off, and it is all sad and indignant.

His father is a small landowner with 100 acres of fertile land, and in addition to his old parents, he has a younger brother who is seven or eight years younger. The brothers are married, they are still sisters, and their in-laws live in Raozhou on Jiangnan East Road, which is not too far away.

A year ago, the local county government brought a working group to mobilize door-to-door to form a cooperative to plant rape flowers. Cooperatives are not a new thing, not to mention far away, the Linjiang Army next door has done a lot in recent years, and the response has been great. It is said that after joining, the income did increase, and the life of the people was better.

But for the Zhen family, the cooperative model is not very beneficial. My family's land has to be told by others to plant what to plant, and the yield is high, but the rent has dropped sharply, and I am not very interested in participating.
