After making the 　　 oil pancakes, the next step is to squeeze them.

　　 Now at the far left end of the oil cake compartment, which is the other end of the oil cake compartment, place a round stow. This kind of stow is the key to oil extraction. The diameter is slightly smaller than the iron ring used to make the oil cake. It is located at both ends of the oil cake compartment. When oil is pressed, the oil cake is squeezed by pointing to the two pieces of stow wood. .

　　 After placing the stows, the twelve prepared oil cakes and iron rings were put into the oil cake compartment one by one, squeezing each other very tightly, just enough to fill the whole oil cake compartment.

　　 Each pancake is about 30 kilograms, and these twelve pancakes are three hundred and sixty kilograms of crushed peanuts.

　　 Finally, put a piece of wood on the right end of the oil cake tank again, and the work of the oil cake tank is completely finished.

　　 Next, we will put a square wooden block into the squeeze cabin. Eight square wooden blocks were stuffed into the rectangular squeeze chamber one by one, filling the squeeze chamber completely, and the leftmost wooden block was in contact with the thick stow at the right end of the oil cake chamber.

　　 At this time, all the work of pressing is finished, and the next step is the last process of pressing the oil, which is to smash a triangular wooden wedge into the gap of the eight square wooden blocks in the pressing cabin.

In front of this oil press, an old wood set up a shelf. The shelf is more than three meters high. Two ropes hang down from the upper beam. The ends of the ropes are tied with two thighs thick and about one and a half meters long. log.

　　 These two logs are tools for smashing wooden wedges.

　　 If you want to smash the triangular wooden wedge into the square wooden block that is already tightly packed, you must use great force. Although it can be hit with a sledgehammer, it is a very laborious task. After all, the wooden wedges have to be smashed into the square wooden block sideways instead of downwards, so smashing the wooden wedges with a hammer is definitely one thing. An extremely laborious task.

　　 The most important thing is that this kind of work of swinging the hammer horizontally is easy to miss if one is not done well.

So Shixiong made such a wooden frame according to the method used in the oil press of the fourth grandfather’s house in the previous life. Two logs were hung from two different positions on the beam of the wooden frame. The principle used is like a bell hammer used to ring a bell. .

　　 As long as the height is locked, when the log is swung up, it will accurately hit the triangular wooden wedge every time, so there is no need to worry about it.

　　 And each of these two logs weighed more than 200 kilograms. Once they were swung up, the force of hitting the triangular wooden wedge was even greater than the force of a sledgehammer. The most important thing is that using this method, the operator can swing up the log with only a small amount of effort, which is much easier than using a sledgehammer.

　　 Ishikuma personally stood in front of the log on the far right, and then pushed the hanging log, the log swayed quickly.

　　 "Bang", accompanied by a dull knocking sound, the triangular wooden wedge was smashed in for a short section, and then after a second or two, the same sound was heard again, and the wooden wedge was smashed in again for a short section.

All the tribesmen stared at everything in front of them dumbfounded, and they found that the press bed, which was originally packed so that they could no longer put things down, was smashed inward with this wooden wedge, whether it was a block or a block. The oil pancakes actually started to move, and they seemed to be packed tighter than before.

　　 But the question is, can it squeeze out that peanut oil just by squeezing it?

　　 people don’t believe it very much.

But as the stone bear smashed the wooden wedge into the squeeze chamber, the pointed rabbit's mouth pointed at the pottery basin under the oil press and shouted loudly: "Look, look, oil is dripping underneath... ...."

The eyes of the 　　 people were all attracted by the cry of the rabbit's mouth. Suddenly, there was a "coax", and the sound of discussion broke out uncontrollably.

The people of these tribes are very surprised. They have all seen peanuts. They also admit that this kind of small round beans is more delicious, and it is much more delicious than the kind of yellow beans, but they can't think of it. After being fried and crushed, it can still be used to squeeze out the oil...

　　 Shi Xiong is naturally full of confidence. In the previous life, the fourth grandfather could squeeze oil from rapeseed at home, not to mention peanut kernels with higher oil content. If you can’t squeeze the oil, it’s a hell.

After clapping his hands, Shi Xiong let go of the log and beckoned to the Kuai Ma on the side. The Kuai Ma, who had been waiting for a long time, ran to the second hanging log under the envious gaze of a group of people. in front of.

　　 The stone bear smashed the first wooden wedge in, just to give a demonstration to the people. He won't finish all the work. In his last life, he did not squeeze oil less at the fourth grandfather's house. He had done enough for a long time. He didn't want to continue working as an oil squeezer after wearing this age.

　　 The following work will be done by Kuai Ma.

Watching Kuaima push the log to smash the second wooden wedge into the squeeze cabin, at this moment, Shi Xiong's thoughts not only floated back to the time when he helped to extract oil at the Fourth Grandpa's house in the previous life~lightnovelpub.net~Old Stone The family’s oil press is well-known in the eight townships in a radius of ten miles. Not only the people in the village press oil here, but the people in the nearby villages also drove the ox cart or donkey cart to pull the oil to press the oil.

　　 The fourth grandfather also told Shixiong a lot of things before when he was okay. Grandpa Si said that this oil mill was there before liberation, but at that time it was Grandpa Sis who worked with Shixiong’s grandfather. At that time, the countryside was relatively poor, and no one was willing to use peanuts. To squeeze oil, most of them use rapeseed to squeeze oil.

　　 was later liberated. During the land reform, this oil press was confiscated and confiscated. However, no one could press oil at that time. In the end, Shi Xiong's grandfather exchanged 25 pallets of grain for this oil press. Then, Grandpa passed away, and Grandpa Fourth took over the oil press.

　　 When Grandpa Fourth took over the oil press, that era was still in the period of a large collective production team. At that time, the rapeseed of the production team had to be squeezed, so they had to contact the Fourth Grandpa in advance to arrange the number, so as not to lose money.

　　 And when it is the turn of the brigade to extract oil, the captain will select four or five people to help Grandpa Fourth, very orderly.

　　 However, after the production responsibility system in the 1980s, the oil extraction situation returned to the pre-liberation pattern. The fourth grandfather had to extract oil every year until the Chongyang Festival in September of the lunar calendar.

　　 In the fourth grandpa’s oil press, a pound of rapeseed can be exchanged for three or two or three dollars of oil. And the old folks who came to add oil, if there is not enough oil, then several families and several families will work together to squeeze them. If a certain household pulls a lot of oil, it’s okay for someone to squeeze it alone.

　　 Although there was no new-style oil press at that time, the business of Grandpa Four’s oil press was very prosperous. The folks in the radius of more than a dozen li would pull the oil to line up early in the morning, even in the 1990s.
