Chapter 365: Conquering a wise woman to farm in Huangxing (24)
Xu Yin looked at the fired pottery one by one. Except for a few cracks, most of them were intact.
Although it is not as delicate as jade as porcelain, nor does it have gorgeous colors and patterns, it is a success if it can be used.
In her opinion, the unique dark red matte color and slightly rough texture of seabed mud looks good without any additional modifications. It is pure and simple, returning to nature.
Pans and jars are cooked, and there is no shortage of sun-dried sea salt. There is endless Chinese cabbage, cabbage, cowpeas, radishes... which can be made into pickles, kimchi, and pickles at any time. Occasionally, you can change your taste.
“Hero, how do you make the pickles you mentioned? Directly soak them in salt water?”
“Hero, how do you make pickles?”
Xu Yin saw many people coming to ask her questions, so she simply opened a pickle teaching class and asked everyone who wanted to learn to come. Each person was given a jar and a jar of salt and followed her to learn how to make traditional Chinese pickles.
Simon and his party continued to think about burning the kiln.
Since they learned how to burn kilns, these gentlemen seem to have opened the door to a new world.
Can utensils such as jars and pots be burned, but other items can be burned?
For example, you can pick up your favorite knickknacks, put smaller ones at home as decorations, and put up larger ones in front of and behind the house and around the lake as signs to prevent new arrivals from misunderstanding whose house is whose house. land.
Just do it!
These people were so busy with the autumn harvest that they didn't even bother to hunt. Instead, they worked overtime and burned several kilns of large and small ornaments. They selected the best ones and gave them to Xu Yin.
Xu Yin thinks their idea is very good. It can provide enough food and clothing and start to let artworks enter life.
She placed the small ornaments sent by Mrs. Simon on the window sill. The larger ones had holes for placing flowers.
Place a larger one in the yard and use some water to create a landscape flowing water ornament.
Not to mention, this arrangement makes the environment more beautiful.
After teaching everyone how to make pickles, she took a walk along the Kenghuan Lake and saw a sword-shaped pottery tablet erected by the Kaxiu brothers in front of their property, with a few words crookedly engraved on it: Kaxiu Ka The land of the En family.
She was happy to see it, and then she felt something in her heart. She ran to the northern foot of Kenghuan Mountain, rubbed her sleeves and said, "I'll make a monument and give our area a name. What do you think of calling it 'Taoyuandu'?"
Didn’t the system ask her to create a paradise? She felt like this was it.
Do you have any opinions?
Just a name, it can be anything as long as it doesn't contain the word "exile" and makes them sad.
Xu Yin used her great strength to shape a tablet and engraved it with the words "Taoyuandu". It’s written in official script, but everyone can’t understand it. They all think it looks like a pattern, and it’s so winding and beautiful!
Xu Yin: “…”
Will we have to hold a class to teach Chinese characters in the future?
After the pottery stele was burned, she carried it to the outermost edge of the farmland, close to the release channel.
Keep it so that newcomers can see this eye-catching sign at a glance. Inside is a prosperous pastoral scene, and further inside are rows of neat and beautiful houses with green trees in front and behind and fragrant flowers and plants.
However, even after the pottery monument was erected, there was still no sound from the system announcing that the task was completed.
She couldn't help but rub her chin and wonder what the problem was?
Isn’t everything in front of me considered a paradise?
Login to the system interface, Xu Yin reviewed the long-term mission word for word, and suddenly, the words "astonish the world" popped into her mind.
This means that it is not enough for these people on the Exile Star to be amazing. People outside the Exile Star must be discovered and amazed before the mission is completed?
How to do this!
What a cheating dog system!
The Exile Star has always only had people coming in, and no one leaving. The supervisory office only cares about releasing supplies regularly to ensure that people are alive, and nothing else. Do you have to wait until the outside world finds out?
Then wouldn’t this task be impossible to complete in this lifetime?
After figuring out the crux of the problem, Xu Yin simply ignored this cheating task and decided to lie down and enjoy life.
She is preparing to make rapeseed oil these days.
This year's new rapeseeds were harvested before midsummer and are already very dry and fragrant. I have wanted to press oil for a long time but have never had the time. As the cold season approaches, I have some free time.
Xu Yin’s system warehouse has a household oil press, which seems to have been bought during the movie queen’s life.
At that time, I was recording a variety show in the mountains. One of the episodes included beating rapeseed, drying the rapeseed, and taking me to an oil press to extract oil.
At that time, she thought: If one day she travels to a small world where she needs to extract oil by herself, the ancient method of extracting oil is not only troublesome, but also inefficient.
So after recording the show, I returned to the big city and immediately placed an order for the latest model of household oil press.
However, now she took out this imported oil press and tried to squeeze a pot of oil. She found that the efficiency was not as high as she thought. After she squeezed out two pots of 500cc oil, the machine got hot.
This is a scammer!
Think about the people outside who are planting rapeseed flowers with her. When the rapeseed is ripe, they are more active than her in beating and drying the rapeseed. They are waiting for her to teach them how to eat this "dish"...
Xu Yin: “…” As things stand now, we can only squeeze oil the old way.
She actually knows how to do this, but she just doesn’t want to mess with it because it’s too troublesome.
There are too many materials to prepare. First, you need a big stone mill.
Xu Yin thought about it for a while, then came to the edge of the lake, picked up a big round stone, and chiseled the millstone.
It took two days to chisel out a large millstone and then prepare other materials.
The most crucial part is the rapeseed buns.
This not only requires a lot of strength, but also a thick and strong hardwood section, which is hung on the beam to hit the rapeseed buns like a bell.
So he went to the mangrove forest and cut down a thick tree, and chose the thickest part to use as a bumper.
The rest of the wood was not wasted and was made into tools such as wooden steamers, press beams, and wooden pegs.
Prepare all the tools and utensils required for ancient oil extraction, and complete the first few steps such as frying seeds, grinding, steaming embryos, and pressing cakes.
Xu Yin rubbed her hands and asked Kahn to find a few people.
"Brother Hero, what are you going to do? Can I help you?" Kahn said.
Xu Yin laughed and said: "This job requires a very strong person. You are still young and can't do it."
“Oh.” Kahn slumped his shoulders and went out to look for someone.
After a while, several strong and sturdy men were found.
Xu Yin taught them how to make rapeseed buns.
Several people took turns bumping, and when they got tired, they would change people. Xu Yin stepped in from time to time to help bump together.
“Oil is coming out!”
Kahn shouted cheerfully.
Seeing the brightly colored and richly fragrant rapeseed oil slowly flowing out from the slot, Xu Yin looked up to the sky and exhaled a long breath.
If the oil does not come out, she will wonder if there is something wrong in some link.
She took a pot of oil and used it to fry a table of vegetables, and rewarded the men who helped.
Everyone said in unison that the oil stir-fried vegetables were delicious and their mouths would not feel greasy after eating.
"This is the oil you squeeze out of the rapeseeds you planted with me." Xu Yin pointed out at this time.
Everyone suddenly understood and became ecstatic: "Hero, can we squeeze the rapeseed?"
"Of course you can. From here on out there will be an oil press workshop, and you guys will be the first batch of workers in the workshop. Every time a barrel of oil is pressed, each of you will be given a pot."
Forgetting the basic salary, you still need commissions, otherwise who would want to do such tiring work?
What? Looking for someone new?
Not all of the new arrivals are burly men, some are skinny and look even weaker than her.
It’s okay to let them dry salt and burn kilns, but forget about pressing rapeseed bags for oil.
Moreover, not only rapeseed oil, she also plans to pick the kernels of oil palm trees next to the saltwater lake and squeeze the oil.
Oil palm fruit has a very high oil yield and is a high-quality vegetable edible oil.
Xu Yin feels that rapeseed oil, peanut oil and the like are more fragrant for cooking, mainly because she is used to it.
However, oil palm fruit oil can be used to make high-grade cream and chocolate candies, and is a good vegetable oil for desserts.
In any case, it has no other use if it grows on a tree. It can be pressed into oil, and the cake residue can also be used as fertilizer. It kills two birds with one stone.
As a result, Taoyuandu Oil Pressing Mill started running vigorously.
Everyone has heard that rapeseed, with its bright yellow flowers and black fruits, can be squeezed for oil and stir-fried, so people take turns to line up.
The so-called queuing is to put empty barrels with everyone's name on them outside the oil pressing mill, and then transport the rapeseed when it is their turn.
Xu Yin was worried about jumping in line at first, and specifically asked Kahn to pay attention to the scene. If someone refused to listen and jumped in line, let him come to her.
It turned out that these people dropped the bucket and ran away...jumping in line? No one is queuing up at all! Leaving an empty bucket there, I rushed back to plant a second crop of land to obtain more natural ingredients.
As for rapeseed oil, it doesn’t matter when it’s your turn, it’s always your turn anyway, so why be anxious!
Xu Yin: “…”
Laughing dumbly.
