Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Members of the Fu family immediately reported to the local authorities.

However, even though the Fu family spent money on this matter, they did not convict the man.

Because the laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that if a woman is seduced by a man, she will automatically lose all household registration, her status is the same as a concubine or a slave, and the owner has the power to sell her.

In the end, it was the Fu family who bribed a clerk from the local government, and when the man was sentenced to wear the shackles in public for seven days according to law, they secretly killed the man.

"Girl, are you..."

Ding Tieniu felt his hands and feet were cold. If it were his daughter...

Oh my god, he's not alive anymore!

Do not!

Ding Tieniu gritted his teeth. This time, even if his father whipped him, his daughter would not be allowed to go to a girls' school again!

He only has this daughter, if she is kidnapped...

"What are you thinking!"

Miss Ding rolled her eyes and said dissatisfied:

"What I want to tell you is that the emperor has sent a newly compiled book called "The Biography of Marquis Zhongzhen".

After I finish reading this book, I am going to read "The Legend of Zhongzhen Hou", which tells the story of General Qin and General Zhang!

I heard that this was made up by the emperor himself!

Hey, even my grandpa liked that book after reading it! "

"what!"

Ding Tieniu was overjoyed:

"The emperor also knows about our girls' school, and he even specially sent books to our family?"

This is a great thing. Why didn't the old man tell him?

"Ada, are you exhausted from working on oil every day?"

Oh my god, there are so many female students in the city, and the emperor actually knows about this one in his family!

What an honor this is!

Miss Ding couldn’t laugh or cry:

"Not only was our family assigned a copy of the emperor's book, but almost all the female students in the city were assigned a copy!

I heard that the entire Nanyang land, even Huguang, has been distributed! "

Ding Tieniu muttered secretly: "Hey, what a joy."

……

Miss Ding turned around and said, "Ada, what are you mumbling about?"

However, there was no response from dad.

I saw Ding Tieniu knocking off the ashes in the pipe pot in the corner and placing the pipe on the window kiln.

Then he stood up and called to the guys who were picking the peanuts from the peanuts:

"Let's get to work!"

The two hired men hurried forward, and the three of them lifted the cooled peanuts and walked towards the oil mill.

In the oil mill, a large container made of wood occupies a small half of the space. The logs that were pulled out were inserted into the container at one end and placed on benches of different heights at the other end.

The method of oil extraction in this era was to make a container similar to a wooden box, then seal the raw materials, tamp the logs into the container, and use the principle of extrusion to remove the oil from the fried raw materials. Squeeze it out.

Therefore, oil extraction is both a physical job and a technical job.

If the raw materials of different weights cannot be grasped, the lid should be sealed in that position, and the oil press machine will be easily overcrowded.

If the lid is placed too high, the grease cannot be completely squeezed out.

Take peanuts as an example. The machines of later generations can contain more than 40% of oil for one hundred kilograms of raw material if cooked and pressed, while the oil content of raw pressed is about 50%.

The oil yield rate in this era is somewhat lower, generally below [-]%.

Ding Tieniu's family has been engaged in oil extraction business for generations. Therefore, the Ding family, which can be regarded as "family-educated", has a much higher oil production rate than others.

Although one hundred kilograms of raw materials only adds a few kilograms of oil, however, in this era when rich peasants still have to use chopsticks to dip their oil in their meals...

Those few kilograms of oil are the motivation for others to carry goods for dozens of miles.

Before entering the industrial age, the lives of ordinary people were really miserable!

……

Ding Tieniu closed the lid and inspected it carefully. Then he walked to the front, reached out and picked up the first wooden stake in the bottom row, and ordered the two guys:

"Come on, start from the bottom!"

The two guys worked together to pick up the heavy log hanging from the beam, aimed it at the log wedge held by Ding Tieniu, and swung it far away. Then, using the force of gravity, the two trotted all the way, pushing the log. , hit on the log.

(In ancient times, there were two methods for pressing oil: the North and the South. In the South, people used the sledgehammer method. The technology was complicated and relatively ineffective.

In the north and Sichuan, the hammer method is used to lift the hammer with the help of roof beams, which saves manpower. )

"Bang!"

There was a sound of impact, and more than half of the thick log had been driven in.

The first wooden wedges can be easily driven in because there are still a lot of gaps in the oil press at this time.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

……

After being hit again and again, there was no space left in the oil press.

The two apprentices were sweating profusely, and each impact could only drive the wooden wedge a small distance.

However, as the number of wooden wedges increased, golden oil beads gradually began to appear, dripping along the gaps in the wood around the oil press and onto the huge pottery plate below.

The pottery plate is tilted, and at the bottom, there is an exit shaped like an ash bucket.

An iron bucket is placed under the outlet to collect oil!

"Ada, the oil is out!"

Ding Jie moved the stool next to the pile of peanuts that had not yet been stir-fried, and was about to pick out the mud. She pointed at the oil outlet and said with a smile.

The three of them wiped the sweat from their faces and turned around to look, with smiles on their faces.

It's oily!

"It's oily!"

Ding Tieniu laughed.

"It's oily!"

The two young apprentices wiped the sweat from their faces and grinned.

"Come on, let's make it more exciting. I'll ask you, my wife, to fry a plate of vegetables made with peanut oil at noon, and you both will have a toothpaste!"

Ding Tieniu is not stingy either.

The disciples of this era are just half of them.

Not only does the selection of an apprentice depend on character, but the apprentice also chooses a master based on character.

Master of Heaven and Earth, this is a major matter of human relations!

The Ding family can be passed down for several generations. Not only has it always controlled the oil pressing business in Dengzhou City, but the business has grown bigger and bigger, and they have opened branches in the surrounding markets.

What we rely on is this sincerity.

We must treat customers sincerely, and we must also treat apprentices with sincerity.

Miss Ding dropped the handful of mud balls she picked out, turned around and ran towards the backyard:

"Mom, I asked you to fry vegetables at noon and just use the peanut oil you just squeezed out."

In the backyard, a middle-aged woman who was hanging laundry smiled and wiped her hands on her apron:

"Zhong, then you put these clothes together, and I'll go cook!"

As the saying goes, the cook never dies of hunger.

This oil press is not short of oil. An ordinary person can hardly eat a pound of oil in a year, but the oil press is never short of oil and water.

Not to mention the fryer, even if someone's family has a stone mill, the people who come to grind wheat and make flour will leave behind a scoop of black flour and a scoop of wheat bran before leaving.
