He is not going to buy things now, and it will be troublesome to bring them over.

I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in a while.

Came to the place, others have not come back yet.

Sanxi and Yougen were sitting on the ground next to them, and the one sitting under their buttocks was dry grass pulled from the side.

A middle-aged man in his thirties squatted next to the two of them.

All three of them were smoking cigarettes.

The middle-aged man took a puff of his dry cigarette, and asked Sanxi, "Should I change it? If so, I'll go get the oil!"

There were several empty peanut shells scattered under the opponent's feet.

Sanxi didn't speak, and Yougen next to him was talking there, with a hesitant look on his face, "I definitely need to change, but you change too little. It's only one tael or three cents for oil per catty. There are also bean cakes in it." .”

The other party was not in a hurry, and said while smoking a cigarette.

"Then we also need work points for oil extraction. Your work points are not worth much, but our work points are worth money... We only earn bean cakes as work points."

After speaking, he smiled again. "If not, go to the commune to change the oil."

Yougen was a little hesitant when he heard the words, but finally shook his head lightly, "Then let's see what he says when I get older."

The other party smiled and nodded when he heard the words, "That's fine, I'll wait for you."

After speaking, he got up and left, with a confident look on his face when he left.

Zhou Xiaochuan listened beside him and already understood what it meant.

This is peanut oil.

A catty of shelled peanuts can be exchanged for one tael or five dollars of oil.

Calculated from this ratio, a catty of peanuts yields about two taels of oil. I don’t know if the oil yield is high or low in this era.

But in later generations, this oil yield is still quite low. Even the ancient method of oil extraction can have an oil yield of 40%.

Large factories can even reach 50% to 55%.

But this is also based on the quality of peanuts.

Zhou Xiaochuan took a medium-sized peanut from the bag and peeled it off.

The two didn't say anything when they saw Zhou Xiaochuan's actions, no matter how poor the village was, they couldn't afford to eat a few Huang Sheng.

The peanuts are so dry that they can be easily peeled off.

There are light red peanuts exposed inside, which is not bad, not too shriveled.

But think about it, the deflated peanuts are probably kept for myself to eat.

Chewing peanuts, Zhou Xiaochuan asked, "Brother Sanxi, can't the commune extract oil?"

While smoking a cigarette, Sanxi said, "It used to be, but then...then it didn't. Now everyone changes the oil."

Zhou Xiaochuan understood what was going on, it was caused by the events of the past two years.

But he didn't understand why the commune didn't have a workshop to extract oil from soybeans and peanuts, but went to the forest production team instead.

I didn't ask in detail, it is estimated that it will be restored in a few years.

Thinking of this, he smiled, "Brother Sanxi, I tasted this peanut, it should produce 30% of the oil, and you can save bean cakes to feed the animals. Why don't you squeeze it yourself?"

If you go to the commune to extract oil, the bean cakes will not be returned to you. And there is also a handling fee, but this handling fee is not money, but a part of the fuel is deducted.

Sanxi sighed, "We don't have any masters on our team. There's too little fuel. And we don't have any tools."

Zhou Xiaochuan said lightly when he heard the words, saying that he is a master, but in fact it is the most important step in oil extraction, the control of the heat.

Because this is related to the oil yield and the quality of the oil.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Brother Sanxi, if I say that I can extract oil, would you believe me? With peanuts of this quality, if you peel the peanuts, you should be able to produce 30% of the oil."

Hearing his words, Zhao Sanxi froze for a moment.

"real or fake?"

Zhou Xiaochuan ate the remaining peanut, clapped the ashes on his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Sanxi, why should I lie to you?"

After finishing speaking, he added, "However, it depends on how many peanuts you grow. If you have a lot, you can set up a small workshop. If you don't have a lot, you can go to exchange them. Save trouble."

There are only about 150 people in the Shanglin brigade. Even if one person calculates 2 catties of oil a year, it is about 300 catties.

But Zhao Sanxi's words caught him by surprise.

The other party clapped his hands and said, "Trouble? What's the trouble? The bean cakes left over from oil extraction can be used as food."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, thinking about it too.

Gu Yun

With 300 catties of oil, there is at least 600 catties of bean cakes, which are considered delicacies now.

It's not like he didn't understand anything when he first came here.

This is equivalent to rations for 3 people.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaochuan just nodded, Zhao Sanxi asked anxiously: "Is what you said true, and can you give 30% of the oil?"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this. He said with a sure face: "As long as it is of this quality, I can guarantee 30% of the oil."

Peanuts have different oil yields depending on factors such as quality, variety, and place of origin.

But 30% is already the minimum oil yield.

Of course, the premise cannot be that kind of deflated peanuts. Even if that kind of deflated peanuts are produced by the industrial methods of later generations, whether they can be squeezed out is another matter.

I have made peanut oil so many times in my space. This can still be guaranteed.

The peanuts in the space have an oil yield of 50 to 60%.

Zhao Sanxi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "I'll go to San San, you wait for me."

After finishing speaking, he said to You Gen who was dazed next to him, "You look after it. I'll go now."

You Gen was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and nodded, "Oh, you go!"

But by the time he finished speaking, the other party had already run away.

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless looking at this scene.

As for?

Yougen looked at Zhou Xiaochuan with a strange expression on his face.

Zhou Xiaochuan still underestimated people's desire for food in this era.

Not to mention the oil that can be extra one-third.

Just 600 catties of bean cakes are already mouth-watering. Because there is still a lot of protein left in the residue.

It is worse than eggs.

This is a more advanced existence than the usual corn.

That's enough food for two people.

You Gen was smoking a pipe beside him, and said enviously, "You educated youths are educated. You know a lot."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard this, and just wanted to say what's so difficult about it.

But then reacted.

This is not the later generations. I have never heard of information bombing. Ninety-nine percent of people do not know this simple method.

Something as simple as making tofu is considered high-end in this day and age.

This is the disadvantage of backwardness and information occlusion.

Although oil extraction is now owned by the public.

But the technology inside, that is, the experience, the master will not tell you easily.

Experienced masters these days are generally older. This experience that has been pondered over for a lifetime has told you, what else does he eat?

Do you go to the field to earn work points?

At such an old age, I can earn a few work points.

However, this situation can only occur in rural areas~lightnovelpub.net~ Big cities already have special oil extraction plants. Although the technology is not very mature, it is not comparable to that in rural areas.

After a while, the other educated youths came back.

I bought some things in my hand, but basically they were insoles, shoes and the like.

Insoles are pretty cheap.

Because a lot of people here can do it.

Several people stayed here for a while, and some people came to ask how to exchange soybeans and peanuts.

Some people exchanged tofu tickets for soybeans or peanuts.

There are also some people who use food stamps to exchange some eggs.

They are all bartered. No one buys food with money, and they don't sell it with money.

The ones that can be bought with money are either handcrafts such as wicker baskets and insoles, or large items such as cattle.
