Chapter 1,288 Both Workshops Have Finished Products

The heat of frying melon seeds is still very important. Shu Yu had asked Luo Chun to try it before. Seeing that he was careful and considerate in his work, he let him do it.

There aren’t many melon seeds in the first pot, so I’ll give it a try first.

Shu Yu saw that the melon seeds had been boiled and everyone was busy taking them to a ventilated place to dry naturally. There was nothing going on here for the time being, so she turned and walked towards another oil press.

There are many more steps to press oil than frying melon seeds, and it is also more laborious. Therefore, there are more people in the oil press workshop, and most of them are strong laborers, and the wages are higher than in the melon seed workshop.

Of course, oil itself is more expensive than roasted seeds and nuts.

The oil-pressing tools were made by Lu Erbai and were placed in the oil-pressing workshop.

The maturity period of oil sunflower is shorter than that of edible sunflower. It was harvested a month earlier, and now the time for oil extraction is perfect.

When Shu Yu entered the oil press, Daniel was stirring the oil with others, waiting for the faint aroma to come out before crushing it.

When pressing oil for the first time, you must be cautious.

Shu Yu didn't interfere much. After taking a look at the workers, he saw that the workers were a little nervous and simply went out.

She went to the accommodation area, where three or four women were already preparing lunch.

These people do not include the more than 40 workers. They are tenants next to Zhuangzi, and the Guo family is among them.

Not only them, but also the gatekeepers were all selected from those tenants.

Shu Yu felt relieved when he saw them working in an orderly manner.

Not long after, someone hurried over and said excitedly, "Master, the melon seeds are fried and they are very fragrant."

"Really?" Shu Yu walked to the melon seed shop. A pot of melon seeds had been fried and placed on the table. Luo Chun and others gathered around to watch.

Shu Yu came over and ate one. It was very fragrant, the heat was moderate and there was no burnt smell, and it was just the right amount of crispy.

Seeing everyone looking at him nervously, Shu Yu clapped his hands and said, "That's right, let's fry it this way. Try it out and see for yourself. Add the amount bit by bit, but not too much. We are just starting, so take it slow. .”

"Yes!!" Everyone nodded happily.

Shu Yu pushed the plate of melon seeds in front of him forward, "Here, let's have a taste."

This is a rare thing, and no one has ever eaten it. When it was fried just now, Luo Chun just ate a few to taste it.

At this moment, they couldn't help but look at each other, and each of them carefully took one, "It smells so good."

After eating one, I still wanted to eat it, but everyone restrained and put down their hands.

Shu Yu saw that Luo Chun had organized everyone to prepare the next pot, so she grabbed two handfuls and went out.

Not long after, someone from the oil mill came over and said excitedly to her, "Master, oil is coming out, oil is coming out. These sunflower seeds can really press oil."

Shu Yu's mouth twitched, "You guys don't believe it until you see it coming out, right?"

But Shu Yu couldn't help but get excited when she heard the oil came out.

She walked quickly to the oil press, and Daniel was happily walking towards her holding a small bowl, "Ayu, look."

"Is the oil yield high?"

"I don't know yet. I'll squeeze out what I have on hand and see."

Both workshops had finished products. Shu Yu and Daniu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other.

In the next few days, Shu Yu stayed at Zhuangzi.

The oil yield of sunflower oil is good, and sunflower oil is modernly praised as a healthy nutritional oil with extremely high nutritional value.

After two sacks of fried melon seeds and two large cans of sunflower oil were packed, Shu Yu returned to the county town with these two items.
