"That's good! That was good! Boss, we've made a killing this time!”
Shopkeeper Liu was overjoyed.
"Don't worry, I still have something to say."
Li Wufeng said," Increase the price to 80 strings per pot!”
"Hmm? Why?"
Shopkeeper Liu asked in confusion.
"The production of Drunken Overlord is low, so naturally, they have to raise the price since they want so much at once. We're the only family in the entire Great Tang that has this wine. Shopkeeper Liu, you should just tease their appetites. Sooner or later, they will beg you.”
Li Wufeng was not afraid that the other party would not buy it. In any case, he did not have to worry about not being able to sell it.
This wine would become more fragrant the more it was buried, so he had nothing to worry about.
"Understood, Boss!"
After Li Wufeng's advice, Shopkeeper Liu quickly understood what to do.
"Only this oil? Should we fry McKenzie with pig fat?”
"No need. I'll take care of the oil. Don't worry!"
Li Wufeng smiled.
The history of cooking oil in China was very long. At the beginning of primitive society, humans relied on fishing, hunting, and collecting plants to survive.
The appearance of fire made them learn how to roast food. When they were roasting meat, they discovered that the melted oil dripping from the animal's body had a special fragrance.
Moreover, fat could be squeezed out by chewing it carefully, so it could be obtained from oily animals by sunbathing, roasting, and squeezing.
From then on, the history of using animal oil sprouted.
Later, during the roasting process, the ancients discovered that some nuts would emit a fragrance when they fell into the fire, and they would also melt into a liquid like animal oil.
From then on, vegetable oil was widely used.
The development of the oil-making industry in ancient China was based on the expansion of agricultural planting area and the increase in production, as well as the increase in social consumption of vegetable oil.
In the Spring and Autumn "Book of Songs·National Wind" and the Western Han "Book of Rites·Inner Rules", the cream referred to grease.
Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was already a method to make primitive vegetable oil, and the seeds of the oil industry sprouted from then on.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Book of Sheng, Dou Yougao, was the earliest agricultural book in China that recorded that soybeans contained oil.
In 533 A.D., Jia Sixie's Qi Min Yao Shu, written at the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, mentioned seven types of animal and vegetable oil: hemp seed oil, sesame oil, perilla seed oil, turnip seed oil, pork fat, beef tallow, and sheep oil.
But at that time, almost all the vegetable oil was not used for consumption. The only thing that was really consumed was sesame oil, which was squeezed out from the sesame seeds attacked by the minority.
However, the production of this oil was extremely low, which caused the current oil shortage in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
After the Han Dynasty, vegetable oil began to appear, but it was not edible and was only used to make silk cloth.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that there were records of edible vegetable oil, such as sesame oil, soybean oil, vegetable oil, tea oil, etc.
Li Wufeng asked Li Donghai to find a stonemason and carpenter to make a few tools.
At this moment, the craftsmen in the residence worshipped Li Wufeng very much, so there was naturally no problem.
This time, he found three stonemasons and a carpenter and asked them to work according to the pattern he drew.
Not long after, an advanced grinding stone was presented in front of everyone, making the craftsmen very happy.
Although this millstone had matured by the time of the Great Tang, they had never seen San Lang's design.
"Of course you haven't seen it. This was only improved in the 1970s. It's much better than yours.”
Li Wufeng smiled smugly.
"San Lang, what are you doing?”
At this time, Liu Siying got up with the help of the two little girls.
Seeing that Li Wufeng was making something new, he couldn't help but ask.
Liu Siying, who had just become a wife, was extremely charming.
"Oil extraction! I'll let you try the benefits of this soybean oil. It's not only the oil of sesame seeds that can be eaten, but the oil of this bean is also very fragrant.”
Li Wufeng laughed.
"Oil comes out of a stone?"
Xiao Cui asked curiously.
"You'll know when you see it."
When everything was ready, Li Wufeng asked a few craftsmen to wash the stone mill clean. He also washed the beans and poured them into a copper pot to stir-fry.
Then, he poured the beans into the stone nest, laid it flat, and covered it with a round stone.
He placed a thick stick on it, wrapped it with a strong hemp rope, and twisted the wheel. With a series of cracking sounds, the round stone slowly sank.
Not long after, soybean oil flowed out of the stone hole.
The Blacksmith's nose twitched as he smelled the fragrance of the oil in the air.
It was rare for them to eat oil a few times a year. When they smelled such a strong and fragrant oil fragrance, they drooled.
Looking at the fragrant and slightly turbid soybean oil, these craftsmen naturally did not understand what was going on. They said in surprise,"It's really strange. The water smells so good!”
If this was said in modern society, people would either think of him as an idiot or a lunatic.
Shopkeeper Liu's mouth was wide open, and he asked in disbelief,""Really? You can cook with this?"
