Chapter 364 The Wisdom of the Female Supporting Wild Star Farming (24)
Xu Yin checked the fired pottery one by one. Except for a few cracks, most of them were intact.
Although it is not as delicate as jade as porcelain, nor does it have gorgeous colors and patterns, it is a success if it can be used.
In her opinion, the unique dark red matte color and slightly rough texture of seabed mud looks good without any additional modifications. It is pure and simple, returning to nature.
Pans and pots are cooked, and there is no shortage of sun-dried sea salt. There is endless Chinese cabbage, cabbage, cowpeas, radishes... which can be made into pickles, kimchi, and pickles at any time. Occasionally, you can change your taste.
"Hero, how do you make the kimchi you mentioned? Just soak it in salt water?"
"Hero, how do you make pickles?"
Xu Yin saw many people coming to ask her questions, so she simply opened a pickle teaching class and asked everyone who wanted to learn to come. Each person received a jar and a jar of salt and followed her to learn how to make traditional Chinese pickles.
Simon and his party continued to think about burning the kiln.
Ever since they learned how to burn kilns, these gentlemen seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
Can utensils such as jars and jars be burned, but can other objects be burned?
For example, you can pick up your favorite knick-knacks, put smaller ones at home as decorations, put large ones in front of and behind the house, and use them as signs around the lake to prevent newcomers from misunderstanding whose house it belongs to.
land.
Just do it!
These people were so busy with the autumn harvest that they didn't even bother to hunt. Instead, they worked overtime and burned several kilns of large and small ornaments. They selected the best ones and sent a batch to Xu Yin.
Xu Yin thought their idea was very good. It provided enough food and clothing, and began to let artworks enter life.
She placed the small ornaments sent by Mrs. Simon on the window sill. The larger ones had openings for placing flowers.
If it's bigger, put it in the yard and use some water to make a landscape flowing water ornament.
Not to mention, this arrangement makes the environment more beautiful.
After teaching everyone how to make pickles, she took a walk along the Kenghuan Lake and saw a sword-shaped pottery tablet erected by the Kaxiu brothers in front of their property, with a few words crookedly engraved on it: Kaxiu Ka
The land of the En family.
She was amused, and then her heart moved. She ran to the northern foot of Kenghuan Mountain, rubbed her sleeves and said, "I'll build a monument and give our area a name. What do you think of calling it 'Taoyuandu'?"
Didn't the system ask her to create a paradise? She thought this was it.
Do you guys have any opinions?
Isn't it just a name? It can be anything as long as it doesn't contain the word "exile" and makes them sad.
Xu Yin used her great strength to shape a tablet and engraved it with the words "Taoyuandu". It was written in official script, but everyone couldn't understand it and thought it looked like a pattern. The winding and winding shapes were so beautiful!
Xu Yin: "..."
Will we have to hold a class to teach Chinese characters in the future?
After the pottery stele was burned, she carried it to the outermost edge of the farmland, close to the release channel.
Keep it so that newcomers can see this eye-catching sign at a glance. Inside is a prosperous pastoral scenery, and further inside are row upon row of neat and beautiful houses with green trees in front and behind and fragrant flowers and plants.
However, even after the pottery monument was erected, there was still no sound from the system announcing that the task was completed.
She couldn't help but rub her chin and wonder what the problem was.
Isn’t everything in front of me considered a paradise?
After logging into the system interface, Xu Yin reviewed the long-term mission word for word. Suddenly, the words "Amazing the world" jumped into her mind.
This means that it is not enough to amaze these people on the Exile Star. People outside the Exile Star must be discovered and amazed before the mission is completed?
How to do this!
What a cheating dog system!
The Exile Star has always only had people coming in, and no one leaving. The supervision office only releases supplies regularly to ensure that some people are alive, and does nothing else. If the outside world finds out, it will have to wait until the year of the monkey, right?
Then wouldn’t this task be impossible to complete in this lifetime?
After figuring out the crux of the problem, Xu Yin simply ignored this cheating task and decided to lie down and enjoy life.
She is preparing to squeeze rapeseed oil these days.
This year's new rapeseed was harvested before midsummer, and it has been dried and fragrant. I have long wanted to press oil, but I haven't had the time. As the cold season approaches, I have some free time.
There is a household oil press in Xu Yin's system warehouse, which seems to have been bought by the actress in her lifetime.
At that time, I was recording a variety show in the mountains. One of the episodes included beating rapeseed, drying the rapeseed, and taking me to an oil press to extract oil.
At that time, she thought: If one day she travels to a small world that needs to extract oil by herself, the ancient method of extracting oil is not only troublesome, but also inefficient.
So after recording the show, I returned to the big city and immediately placed an order for the latest model of household oil press.
However, now she took out this imported oil press and tried to squeeze a pot of oil. She found that the efficiency was not as high as she thought. After two pots of oil, the machine became hot.
"..."
This is cheating!
Thinking about the people who were planting rapeseed flowers with her outside. When the rapeseed was ripe, they were more active than her in beating and drying the rapeseed, waiting for her to teach them how to eat this "dish"...
Xu Yin: "..."
Nowadays, the only way to extract oil is by old methods.
She actually knows how to do this, but she just doesn't want to mess with it because it's troublesome.
There are too many materials to prepare, and first you need a big stone mill.
Xu Yin thought about it for a while, then came to the edge of the lake, picked up a big round stone, and chiseled the millstone.
It took two days to chisel out a large millstone and then prepare other materials.
The most crucial part is the rapeseed buns.
This not only requires a lot of strength, but also requires a thick and strong hardwood section, which is hung from the beam to hit the rapeseed buns like a bell.
So I went to the mangrove forest to cut down a large and thick tree, and selected the thickest section to use as a bumper.
The remaining wood was not wasted and was made into tools such as wooden steamers, beams, and wooden pegs.
All the tools and utensils required for ancient oil extraction are prepared, and the first few steps such as frying seeds, grinding, steaming embryos, and making cakes are completed.
Xu Yin rubbed her hands and asked Kahn to find a few people.
"Brother Hero, what do you want to do? Can I help you?" Kahn said.
Xu Yin laughed and said: "This job requires a very strong person. You are still young and can't do it."
"Oh." Kahn slumped his shoulders and went out to look for someone.
After a while, several strong and sturdy men appeared.
Xu Yin taught them how to make rapeseed buns.
Several people took turns bumping, and when they got tired, they would change people. Xu Yin occasionally stepped in to help bump together.
"There's oil coming out!"
Kahn shouted cheerfully.
Seeing the brightly colored and richly scented rapeseed oil slowly flowing out from the slot, Xu Yin looked up to the sky and exhaled a long breath.
If the oil didn't come out, she would have to wonder if something was wrong.
She took a pot of oil, used it to fry a table of vegetables, and rewarded the men who helped.
Everyone said in unison that this oil stir-fried dish is delicious and your mouth won’t feel greasy after eating it.
"This is the oil you squeeze out of the rapeseed you planted with me." Xu Yin pointed out at this moment.
Everyone suddenly realized it, and then they were ecstatic: "Hero, can we squeeze the rapeseed?"
"Of course you can. This will be the oil pressing workshop from now on, and you guys will be the first batch of workers in the workshop. Each of you will get a pot for each barrel of oil squeezed out."
Forget the basic salary, you still have to have commissions, otherwise who would want to do such tiring work?
What? Looking for someone new?
Not all the new arrivals are necessarily burly men, some are skinny and look even weaker than her.
It's okay to let them dry salt and burn kilns, but forget about pressing rapeseed bags for oil.
Moreover, not only rapeseed oil, she also plans to pick the kernels of oil palm trees next to the saltwater lake and squeeze the oil.
Oil palm fruit has a very high oil yield and is a high-quality vegetable edible oil.
Xu Yin thinks rapeseed oil, peanut oil and the like are more fragrant for cooking, mainly because she is used to them.
However, oil palm fruit oil can be used to make high-grade cream, chocolate candies, and is a good vegetable oil for desserts.
Anyway, it has no other use if it grows on trees. It can be pressed into oil and the cake residue can also be used as fertilizer. It kills two birds with one stone.
As a result, Taoyuandu Oil Pressing Mill started to operate vigorously.
Everyone has heard that rapeseed, with its bright yellow flowers and black fruits, can be squeezed for oil and used for cooking. They come here in turn.
The so-called queuing is to put empty barrels with everyone's name on them outside the oil mill, and then transport the rapeseed when it's your turn.
Xu Yin was worried about jumping in line at first, and specifically asked Kahn to pay attention to the scene. If someone refused to listen and jumped in line, she would ask him to come to her.
It turned out that these people dropped the bucket and ran...jumping in line? There was no one in line at all! They left an empty bucket there, and rushed back to plant a second crop of land to get more natural ingredients.
As for rapeseed oil, it doesn’t matter when it’s your turn, it’s always your turn anyway, so why be anxious!
