Chapter 97: How Dare You

Jiang Yue couldn’t give a definite answer before she saw anything, so she said, “I’ll have to take a look first. ”

“Then quickly go and check it out.” Xue Darong and the other two greeted her and Xue Yan.

Xua Yan had already gone to open the door of the oil mill.

Beyond the utility room was the courtyard wall, but the distance between the wall and the utility room was four steps away from an adult. It could be considered as an aisle between the wall and the utility room.

There were two wooden doors at the end of the corridor.

The wooden door opened, revealing the oil mill that Xua Yan had stopped working in.

The oil mill was indeed built behind the house.

When he opened the door, he could see that the space inside was very large. It was about the same size as the entire house, but it was divided into several areas.

It was divided according to the process of oil extraction.

The process of the ancient oil extraction was roughly as follows — slow-frying with fire, crushing, steaming, wrapping, squeezing, drying, crushing, steaming, wrapping, and then finally squeezing.

“Jiang Yue, take a look. This thing of mine is obviously the same as the one in the town, but how can the oil extracted be so poor? The townspeople are being exploited by this procedure. Did I forget something? If I had known, I would have stayed a few more days in the oil mill.” Xua Yan said as he entered the oil mill.

In the end, he looked regretful for not staying for a few more days.

A few days…

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t know what to say.

Jiang Yue didn’t say anything and just walked to the frying section.

There was a large stove set up in that area, and on the stove was a big iron pan that was specially made by the town’s blacksmith. It was a flat pan and was used to stir-fry rapeseed.

“Do you know why this pot is made into a pan?” Jiang Yue asked.

“I don’t know. I just saw that the town’s oil mill looked like this, so I got a blacksmith to make a pot like this.” Xua Yan said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Yue fell silent.

“If you don’t know, how dare you come back and do this!” Xue Darong was so angry he wanted to hit his son. At that time, his son was so confident that he thought he could do everything. In the end, he still didn’t know why the iron pan was flat!

Qian Caiyu was so angry that she also wanted to hit her son.

Xua Yan shivered.

Jiang Yue finally understood why Xua Yan only knew the process and followed it without knowing the principle behind it. He probably didn’t know what to pay attention to.

“Jiang Yue, could it be that there’s something wrong with this pot?” Xua Yan’s heart was wavering.

Jiang Yue replied, “There’s nothing wrong with the pot, but there might be a problem with the oil extraction process. The pan was flat and not too deep so that it couldn’t be evenly heated when stir-frying. If the heat is not evenly distributed, the oil that would be produced in the end would be lesser, which would also affect the quality of the oil. That’s what my grandfather said.”

“Oh…” Xua Yan wanted to cry. He just randomly cooked them. “Then, are there any other issues?”

“I’ll take a look.” Jiang Yue continued reading.

They walked to the ground where the grinding trough was buried.

After the rapeseed was fried, it had to be moved to the grinding trough to be crushed and sifted. They had to be ground into fine grains that could be sifted. The thicker fine grains that could not be sifted needed to be ground again.

There was a sieve at the side, so there should be no problem with this step. Jiang Yue did not say anything.

Instead, she continued to move to the next area.

A stove was set up on the next piece of land, but on the stove was a steamer. The fine grains that had been sifted would be put into the steamer to steam.

When it was steamed, it would be wrapped up.
