Chapter 124 Squeezing Peanut Oil
Lin Fuyue didn't know that her brother was being hunted down all the way, so she took everyone to make some pottery sauerkraut.

The peanuts are almost harvested, and some peanuts are left to eat slowly, and some are used to extract peanut oil.

By March of next year, they will have harvested a lot of rapeseed and pressed rapeseed oil.

At this time, when I was free, Lin Fuyue proposed to press peanut oil, and the carpenter knew how to make a tool for oil ram to squeeze out peanut oil.

In ancient times, there were no machines as developed as modern ones, and the oil was squeezed out with this tool called an oil ram.

Horizontal wedge oil press, after the oil cake is installed in the press chamber, a wooden block is inserted on one side of the oil cake.

Then strike with a suspended lance, a triangular wedge between the blocks.

As the wedges are driven into the press chamber, the wooden blocks placed horizontally in the press chamber will exert a squeezing force on the oil cake.

Because the triangular wedge plays an important role in the oil extraction process, this oil press is called an oil ram.

The peanut oil pressing process is even simpler, clean the peanuts, shell them, crush them, squeegee them, steam them, and finally squeeze out the oil.

First of all, remove the impurities in the peanuts, and the peanuts entering the oil factory will inevitably carry some impurities.

If the soil, stems and leaves in the peanuts are not removed, they will not only affect the quality of oil and cake.

Moreover, it will absorb part of the oil and reduce the oil yield. If there are sandstones and other sundries in the peanuts.

It will also cause wear and tear of the peanut oil press, induce production accidents, and affect the process effect.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the peanut oil press production, it is necessary to remove impurities as much as possible.

For individual peanuts with high water content, it is also very necessary to dry them for the convenience of shelling.

There are many ways to clean up, and different methods can be used according to the situation of impurities.

If the impurities contained are light, such as grass, stems and leaves, etc., the air selection method can be used to blow off the impurities with airflow.

If the impurity particles are small, the impurities can be removed by selecting, for some sizes.

Impurities with a relative density similar to peanuts, if they belong to soil blocks, can be rubbed and crushed in a mud machine, and then removed by screening.

Shelling is all done by hand. The purpose of peeling peanuts before the peanut pressing process is to reduce the adsorption of oil by the shells and speed up the oil yield.

It can speed up the processing capacity of the peanut oil press, reduce the wear and tear on the oil pressing equipment, facilitate flaking, and speed up the quality of crude oil.

It can speed up the quality of the cake and is beneficial to the comprehensive utilization.

Crushing also requires manpower. There is no crusher here to crush the peanuts, so that the particle size of the crushed peanuts meets the flaking.

Flaking is to use a single pair of roller flaking machine for flaking, rolling into a thin and uniform billet, which requires a small powder and no oil leakage.

Heat treatment (steaming and frying) destroys the cell structure of the oil, denatures the protein, and phospholipids absorb water and swell.

Meet the requirements of pressing, speed up the oil yield and reduce the content of phospholipids.

Heat treatment is one of the important processes in the oil extraction process, and heat treatment includes moistening and heating of the green body.

In production, it is called steamed billet or fried billet, and the billet after steaming and frying is called cooked billet.

Those who press the green body after heat treatment are called hot pressing, and those who do not undergo heat treatment are called cold pressing.

However, peanut oil is mainly hot-pressed, and the effect of heat treatment has a great influence on the smooth progress of the whole oil-making process, the level of oil yield and oil quality.

"Sister Lin, you can see the oil, it smells so good."

The cheerful voices of the teenagers around the oil-pressing shed sounded, as well as the sound of oil-pressing impact.

Mixed with their voices discussing excitedly, the smiles on everyone's faces are so pure and beautiful.

All these make people feel refreshed and happy, as if all the haze has been dispelled.

But before that, these teenagers had never seen the oil extraction scene in their entire lives.

Because many of the teenagers are from rich families, they have no chance to see the oil press.

There are also a small number of teenagers who come from impoverished families. They have never had enough food or clothing since they were young.

They just want to live a good life, not to mention oil, even salt is rarely eaten.

And their current efforts are to change their living conditions so that they can live a better life.

"This peanut oil is really fragrant."

"That's right, when the rapeseeds mature, we won't have to squeeze a lot of oil, and we won't be short of oil every day from now on."

"It's really the first time I've seen that peanut oil is squeezed out like this."

"I don't know how the peanut oil is squeezed out in this way. Sister Lin has a way."

"Yeah, with Sister Lin, I eat meat every day."

"Hey! I knew we would have planted some peanuts. Sister Lin said, we can only squeeze oil this time."

"Why is there only one squeeze of oil?"

"Isn't it because there are no more peanuts? Those peanuts are also delicious. I want to eat peanuts, and I also want to eat dishes fried in peanut oil."

"Sister Lin said that beans can also be used to extract oil, but we prefer to eat tofu..."

"Hey! It's all because we planted too little!"

"."

Countless pairs of eyes watched the two teenagers busy in the oil shed at the same time, with happy smiles on their faces.

Their movements are rusty but quite dexterous. It seems that if they work in this position for a period of time, they will be familiar with it.

When Lin Fuyue in the oil press shed saw this scene, she couldn't help being amazed.

Because what she saw was so familiar, that feeling of familiarity was like returning to modern times and watching the people in her village squeeze tea seed oil.

She turned around and looked at all the teenagers with satisfied smiles.

That smile was full of dreams and passion, and their eyes were shining brightly at this time.

Their eyes are full of expectation and yearning, they are working hard for their own future.

Lu Shaoqian held her hand, "Yue'er, next year we will grow some peanuts and squeeze a ten-pressed peanut oil."

Lin Fuyue looked up and saw his deep eyes full of firmness, he understood her.

She just wants to squeeze a ten-pressed eight-pressed peanut oil next year, and another ten-pressed rapeseed oil.

Thinking about the sweetness in my heart suddenly overflowing my chest, even if the love between them is not a pledge of eternal love.

But as long as you feel it with your heart, you can make yourself a happy mess.

How can you be so nice to me?You are so good, I can't help but sink.

When Lu Shaoqian saw her looking at him with hot eyes, it was definitely not an illusion. He held her little hand tightly.

"Yue'er." Lu Shaoqian called out, with a slightly hoarse voice.

Lin Fuyue raised her head to meet his gaze, the two of them didn't speak, they just watched each other quietly.

As if the whole heart melted together, she felt a little thirsty, and stuck out the tip of her tongue to lick her lips.

When Lu Shaoqian saw her like this, a flame burst out of his body. She was the woman he wanted most in his life.

Once this thought took root in my mind, it could no longer be restrained and grew up, swallowing Lu Shaoqian bit by bit.
