Chapter 1120: Plant Oil!
Translator: Lonelytree
Everything in Lin Yuelan’s farm was handed over to the servants and workers.
In this warm spring and hot summer season, the greenhouse vegetables had all been removed. What was exposed in front of everyone was a variety of vegetables that were growing very well and were very cute.
The villagers from the surrounding villages, especially the Lin family village, were even more envious and jealous.
It was not winter now, so the villagers would grow vegetables. They would sell some that they could not finish.
Therefore, logically speaking, the vegetables in Taoyuan Village would definitely be seriously affected. However, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Yuelan would rather demolish more than half of the greenhouses than lower the price of vegetables.
As such, apart from supplying the restaurants, the vegetables in Taoyuan Village were still in short supply. The silver had already entered Lin Yuelan’s pocket.
Lin Yuelan turned around and planted other crops in the demolished fields, such as corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and other coarse grains.
For farmers, they would not waste their land to plant more corn, peanuts, and soybeans. For them, these things were only occasionally used as snacks and not sold.
Therefore, they were more willing to plant something that could fill their stomachs, such as sweet potatoes.
They came to plant rice every year, but they themselves could not eat polished rice many times a year.
The rice that many people grew, other than paying taxes and land rent, was mostly sold in exchange for some money. As for themselves, they ate some coarse grains such as sweet potato chaff.
Lin Yuelan planted the things that the villagers didn’t want to plant.
However, did Lin Yuelan not know that it would be difficult to sell these things even if they were planted sparingly?
These days, Lin Yuelan had been in the fields to check on the planting of peanuts, corn, and soybeans.
Of course, she knew what the villagers were thinking, but she had her own plans.
However, she wasn’t from ancient times, nor did she lack money.
These things were naturally useful to her.
Because the oil that the people here used to cook was animal oil that was refined from animals. There was no vegetable oil at all.
She wanted to open restaurants all over the world, so of course, she would not only use animal oil to cook.
Therefore, she wanted to make peanut oil, corn oil, and soybean oil. Of course, soybeans could also be made into tofu and soybean products. There was no tofu here now. At that time, her restaurant would have another special dish.
Of course, Lin Yuelan had not told anyone about her plans yet.
Taoyuan Village, Lin’s Garden. She was the owner.
As the master, she would plant whatever she wanted. No one could have any objections. Even if they were curious, many people still knew what to ask and what not to ask.
Of course, she would still tell those close to her.
‘Girl, do you think peanuts, corn, and soybeans can produce oil?” Doctor Zhang was really curious.
They had lived for more than half their lives and had one foot in the coffin. This was the first time they had heard that these things can produce oil?
Jiang Zhennan and Lin Deshan also looked at Lin Yuelan curiously.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, ” That’s right. ‘
Lin Deshan asked doubtfully, ” But, how does this thing produce oil? ‘
Animal oil was made from animal fat, which could be boiled in a pot.
But what about plants?
To Lin Yuelan, this was indeed a difficult problem.
In modern times, there were mechanized things like oil presses, but in ancient times, these things were very difficult to obtain.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said with a smile, ” If you only want to make a small amount of oil, you just need to use a stone mill to press out the oil. However, the yield of this method is not too high. Therefore, I still have to think about whether I can make an oil press. Anyway, I might need to extract oil in the future.”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the few of them asked curiously, ” But how do we make this so-called oil press? Little girl, do you have any clues?”
Lin Yuelan shook her head. Not yet. However, there’s still some time before the harvest season. I want to use this time to think carefully and design an oil press!”
“Oh!” They were already used to the fact that Lin Yuelan was able to design a mechanical device that they had never seen before. They didn’t think that Lin Yuelan was just making empty promises.
Jiang Zhennan immediately said, ” Let me help you!
“Mm, alright!’
“Sister, I’ll help you too!” Little Green, who was in Lin Deshan’s arms, immediately said, unwilling to be outdone.
“Okay, thank you, Little Green!” Lin Yuelan answered with a smile.
In the following period of time, Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, and Little Green racked their brains thinking about the design of the oil press.
Although Little Green appeared in the apocalypse, he was still familiar with modern things.
Little Green tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, ” Sister, I remember that when we went to the countryside during the apocalypse, we seemed to have seen an old-fashioned oil press, right? ‘
Lin Yuelan was reminded of this by Little Green.
At that time, she was sent by the base to pick up the illegitimate daughter of the base leader.
In the end, the illegitimate daughter hated her, the only woman in the team, and she came up with all sorts of tricks to mess with her.
If the captain hadn’t said that her superpower was a rare plant-type superpower that could greatly protect everyone’s safety, the illegitimate daughter might have ordered her to be killed.
However, even if she couldn’t kill her directly, that vicious woman kept sending Lin Yuelan on some dangerous missions.
That time, that woman asked her to go out alone to find some food.
Otherwise, she would ask her father, who was the leader, to kick her out of the base.
At that time, Lin Yuelan’s boyfriend and best friend were in the base. She could protect herself if she chased them out of the base, but for two ordinary people, leaving the base was equivalent to death.
For this reason, for the sake of that scumbag and slut, she had no choice but to follow the orders of this illegitimate daughter and go out alone to look for food.
Unfortunately, she encountered a large number of zombies outside. In order to avoid these zombies, she escaped to a village. That village was relatively safe.
Although there were some zombies, because there were no outsiders, she and Little Green went on a killing spree. They killed all the zombies and then looked for food in the village.
At that time, she saw an ancient oil press made of wood in the ancestral hall of the village.
Lin Yuelan also found the family tree and related records of the village in the ancestral hall.
It turned out that this oil press was invented and manufactured by an ancestor of this village.
This record also recorded the relevant manufacturing process and steps. At that time, the moment this oil press was produced, it attracted the attention of the government. For this reason, they specially praised the inventor and reduced the land tax for the entire village for three years.
For this reason, this oil press and this inventor had always been the glory of this village.
In order to commemorate this event and this ancestor, the descendants preserved the oil press in the ancestral hall and recorded the relevant events.
When Lin Yuelan thought of this, she sighed in her heart. Fate had its own arrangements!
Who would have thought that the thing she had casually searched for would actually come in handy in another time and space, in another era?
Lin Yuelan said to Little Green, i ‘ Little Green, I remember that the oil press was called a horizontal wedge oil press, right? In our era, it was an invention that appeared more than a thousand years from then.”
Jiang Zhennan already knew about Lin Yuelan’s background, so she didn’t hide her conversation with Little Green from him.
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, his eyes lit up and he asked curiously, “One thousand years ago?
Lin Yuelan said, ” That’s right! ” She thought for a moment and added, ” A thousand years ago in our era is equivalent to the current time in your era.
Little Green nodded. ” That’s right. According to the trajectory of the torrent of history, in this era, there should be relevant records and this kind of oil press!
Little Green tilted his round and cute little head and blinked his bright eyes. It said curiously, ” I wonder if we can find this related record! However, it doesn’t matter. We can still design this press from memory!’
Jiang Zhennan thought for a moment and said, ‘I That’s right. In any case, the Lin family’s woodworking workshop will produce another unimaginable mechanical tool soon.”
Lin Yuelan nodded in agreement. ‘i That’s right!
Ever since she invented the first thruster, the things she invented after that were no longer surprising..
