Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 207 Chenzhou

   Zhao Hanzhang is watching people squeeze oil.

  This is just an experiment, so I chose to conduct it in a mill. Anyway, the mill space in the county government is large enough.

   This is for those who commit crimes, but Xiping County has been so peaceful recently, no one commits crimes, not even stealing chickens and dogs.

  So the mill was vacant, and no one came here, except for occasional soldiers or long-term workers who came to grind noodles, grind soybean flour, etc.

   At this time, the mill was busy. While pushing the stone mill to grind the beans, some soldiers stretched their necks to see what the girls were doing.

Zhao Hanzhang grabbed more than a dozen fried beans from the pot, rolled them a little, and gave them to Fu Tinghan. He threw two of them into his mouth with a clack, "It's delicious. You try it."

  Fu Tinghan ate one, nodded, grinding his teeth just fine.

   Zhao Hanzhang also thinks that these beans are suitable for grinding teeth. After eating, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, try it."

   So the long-term worker took a muslin bag and went forward, put a bag of fried beans, knotted it, and stuffed it into the press they had made.

   This is what they made after planing a few big trees. They used camphor wood. According to the girl, camphor wood is the best.

   So they struggled to find the camphor wood.

  Although they do not understand, why use beans to squeeze oil.

   These beans are so good, not only animals like horses can eat them, but people can also eat them, so it would be too wasteful to use them for oil extraction.

  Rich people are just different and use soybean oil.

   The long-term workers at this time did not know that soybean oil was to be eaten.

   After fixing the pressing tool, the long-time workers obeyed the instructions and began to tie the wood and hit it. At first, the pressing tool did not respond. After hitting it for a long time, liquid began to drip from the opening.

   Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan saw it, their eyes lit up, they immediately leaned forward to look, smelled the familiar bean fragrance, Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "Hurry up, go on, go on, you can eat stir-fry tonight."

  The iron pot was prepared by her.

  Although sheep oil and butter can also be used, Zhao Hanzhang still wants to eat vegetarian oil.

  The soybean oozes more oil under the constant impact of the long-term workers, and in the end, it flows directly like a small stream of water.

   Zhao Hanzhang was happy to see it, and nodded again and again, "It seems that my memory is really good, and I remember it correctly."

   Fu Tinghan couldn't help but said, "This pressing tool is the fifth pair made."

   Before that, they had failed five times.

   Zhao Hanzhang just pretended that she didn't hear it, she just failed five times, not fifty times. She felt that these five times could be rounded up, ah, no, it could be rounded up to become a success.

   The two squatted on the side to watch the oil dripping down. When Chang Ning brought the guests in, what he saw was the busy people in the mill.

  Chang Ning hurriedly called: "Girl, girl!"

   Zhao Hanzhang looked back and saw that Chang Ning had brought so many people, he immediately got up, and tidied up his clothes before stepping forward with a smile.

Fu Tinghan watched her change from squatting without an image to a noble and courteous lady, and then took a look at the person Chang Ning brought in. He quickly judged that he was not interested, so he silently turned around to look at the oil extraction, only thinking of himself. Is a long-term worker.

  Chang Ning glanced at Fu Tinghan, and seeing that he didn't mean to get up to meet him, he didn't know him, and only smiled and introduced these guests to Zhao Hanzhang.

  Chang Ning approached Zhao Hanzhang and whispered: "This is the Chen family in Ancheng County. They have a bookstore and are a book dealer in Runan County."

   Zhao Hanzhang realized in an instant, and his smile increased by two points when he looked at the approaching person, "Master Chen lives in Wubao now, or in the city?"

   Chen Zhou said: "How can Chen have such an honor to live in Wubao? So now the inn in the city is settled."

   "Oh? Which inn is it?"

  Chen Zhou couldn't help being disappointed when Zhao Hanzhang didn't mention letting him live in Wubao, and said with a small smile, "Ping An Inn."

   "This inn is very good, and his mutton is well made," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "When I have time, I will invite Chen Gongzi to eat mutton."

  Chenzhou has a lot of Zhao Hanzhang's meat. He looked around and asked curiously: "There are so many new criminals in Xiping County?"

One of the    punishments is the pounding punishment, which is to punish the offenders, but the offenders are not too big to come to pound the rice and grind the flour.

  The mill is usually arranged next to the county office, and Chenzhou has a lot of knowledge. This is the first time I have seen such a lively county office mill.

   Zhao Hanzhang naturally couldn't make people feel that the security of Xiping County was not good, he said with a smile: "These are the long-term workers in my family and the soldiers in the military camp."

  She said: "There are no offenders in Xiping County, this place is empty, I think it is too wasteful, so I let the soldiers come here to pound rice and grind flour, and the common people can also come here to grind things."

  Chenzhou: "Ms. Zhao is really kind-hearted. It is a blessing for the people in Xiping County to have a girl as the county ruler."

   Zhao Hanzhang said modestly, "Where, where." Then he accepted the compliment.

   Chen Zhou, who wanted to have a few rounds with Zhao Hanzhang, was stunned for a moment.

   Zhao Hanzhang has gone straight to the topic he is most interested in, "Is Chen Gongzi's family doing bookstore business?"

  Chen Zhou: "How can the book business be called a business? It's too tacky to be stained with that copper stench."

   Zhao Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "Young Master Chen is right, then let's talk about such elegant things as pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books."

  Fu Tinghan, who was squatting in the back, heard this and couldn't help but be amused. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhao Hanzhang happily leading people out of the mill to the county office.

   He shook his head and mourned for that Young Master Chen.

   Talking about business, oh no, talking about elegance, of course you need to find a quiet place.

   So Zhao Hanzhang took the guests back to the lobby.

   She asked the guests to sit down, and she sat down on the chair herself. When she looked up, she saw that all the people below were sitting cross-legged on the chairs.

   Zhao Hanzhang:  …

   She silently went to see Chang Ning, and he really took the lead.

   She had a headache, and hesitated between the comfort of her legs or the comfort of the purse, and finally decided to make the purse more comfortable.

   So she quietly moved her **** back, and like the guests, raised her legs and sat cross-legged.

   Chang Ning twitched the corners of his eyes when he saw it. The lord of their family really knew the current affairs. No matter what he said before, she didn't want to sit cross-legged.

   Zhao Hanzhang tidied up his clothes, and then faced Chen Zhou with a smile, "Does the Chen family make elegant stationery like pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or buy it from outside?"

  Chen Zhou said without thinking, "Naturally I made it myself."

   He said: "Our Chen family has our own workshop, whether it is making pens, making paper, or carving inkstones and burning ink, we can do it."

   But apart from paper and pens that are worth seeing, most of the other things are bought from outside.

   "What about the books?" Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Are the books in your Chen's bookstore bought from someone else's or printed by yourself?"

   "Naturally, we printed them ourselves, but we also bought them. However, because of the chaos in Luoyang this year, all the books in the bookstore are now printed by us."

See you tomorrow
