Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

The edible oil content of lacquer seeds is as high as 30%, which is higher than that of soybeans. You must know that the edible oils and fats of soybeans are only about 15%.

But eating lacquer oil is also a risk. If you don't know how to squeeze it, some people will still be allergic to it.

But for her, none of this is a problem. In her previous life, during the time of her grandparents, transportation was inconvenient, and lacquer seed oil became their only source of vegetable oil.

Even though other rapeseed oils and peanut oils became available later, Grandpa and his family still had a special liking for lacquer seed oil. Every year in September and October, they would pick the lacquer seeds and squeeze the lacquer seed oil.

After squeezing out the lacquer oil, they will make a lacquer chicken or boil a bowl of lacquer eggs to celebrate. When the lard is finished, they will take out the lacquer seed oil and eat it.

So she was lucky enough to receive the inheritance from her grandpa, and she had squeezed lacquer seed oil several times.

Moreover, lacquer oil is very easy to store and will solidify when the temperature is lower than 47 degrees. Therefore, it can only be used to cook some stews. It is okay to cook a hot pot, make a soup, or stew a chicken. It will not work if it is stir-fried, because once the temperature is low It will solidify at 47 degrees Celsius, so the lacquer seed oil can be consumed even after being stored for a year.

Su Ziling looked at the lacquer seeds and saw that they were dried, so she put them all away.

She carried the lacquer seeds to the pestle and mortar. Su's mother raised her head and glanced, "Qing'er, do you want to pound it?"

"Yes, you have to fry it after grinding it into pieces, and you can press it after frying it." Su Ziling took a rag, wiped the pestle and mortar again, poured the lacquer seeds in, and started pounding it.

Although it was pedaled, it was still too strenuous for her.

Seeing this, Su A'nai called out to Su Zizhong, "Zizhong, Zizhong?"

"Don't chop it. Leave it to your grandpa and the others. You go and help your sister. She's struggling."

"Yes, I understand." Su Zizhong responded in a low voice.

He put down what he was doing and walked towards Su Ziling.

"I'll come, you watch from the side." He said very few words and took the initiative easily.

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, "It will be faster if we two work together."

Su Zizhong had already started pounding. His strength and speed were much greater than Su Ziling. When he heard her words, Su Zizhong glanced at her.

It took me a long time to hold back two words, "It's getting in the way."

Su Ziling: "..."

She understood, he said she was weak and would be slower with him, because he disliked her for being in the way.

However, after seeing the paint seeds almost shattered after a few clicks of him, she swallowed the words that came to her lips. She had no way to refute, nor could she refute.

Looking at the lacquer seeds crushed into powder, Su Zizhong looked at her, "Is it okay?"

"Okay, okay." Su Ziling scooped it out with a spoon and looked at it. It was already very thin.

After scooping out one batch, she poured another one in. She planned to pound them all and fry them all together. After frying, they could be squeezed out in one go.

No wonder Su Zizhong thought she was in the way. He pounded out all the lacquer seeds in half an hour alone. Looking at the four large buckets and two large pots full of lacquer seed powder, Su Ziling was so happy.

Squeezing all this out, it is estimated that there will be thirty or forty pounds of lacquer seed oil. She thought that the oil package could be used to make vermicelli, so that it would not melt even in summer. This was comparable to lard or butter. much better.

Or you can also make some hot pot base ingredients and eat them slowly!

No, she would have to go to Tianmen Mountain to look for it another day. She had not finished the first few visits. If she could find another piece, wouldn't she be able to squeeze out more oil?

After everything was pounded, Su Zizhong helped bring the lacquer seed powder to the kitchen, lit a fire in the stove, poured the lacquer seed powder in, added water and stir-fried together.

This step can volatilize most of the allergenic substances in the paint seeds, making it easier for the oil to come out after being heated. After frying, the paint seed powder is tightly wrapped with straw and pressed into a cake, stuffed into the oil press, and pressed one after another. Stuff them in one by one, the tighter the stuffing, the better.

And because the paint seed oil solidifies very easily, the speed must be fast enough.

Su Ziling and Su Zizhong were so busy that they were sweating profusely before stuffing all the lacquer seed cakes inside.

“Grandpa, it’s time to squeeze the oil!”

Mr. Su had already been waiting aside. When he saw that the lacquer seed cakes had been stuffed, he stuffed the wooden wedges inside one by one, and then started banging and banging. (Picture of oil press)

As the wooden wedges became tighter and tighter, the brown paint slowly flowed out.

Bumping the wooden wedges was a laborious task, so Su's father, Mr. Su and Su Zizhong had to take turns to hit them.

Su Ziling took out the big pots and put them in. As Su's father and the others sweated profusely, more and more paint became available. They took the two full pots, which were about what she expected, weighing thirty or forty kilograms.

Looking at the two pots of oil, Father Su and the others laughed while wiping their sweat, "There are so many, this paint is really oily."

Mr. Su also nodded, "I saw them squeeze soybean oil twice in the first few years, and the soybean oil was not as much as this one. I just don't know if this oil is good or not."

"You'll know if you kill a duck soon!" Looking at the two basins of oil, Su Ziling couldn't be happier.

"It's just..." Father Su looked more and more strange, "Did the oil solidify too quickly? How long did it take for it to solidify?" (Picture of Lacquer Seed Oil)

"It's like this. Lacquer seed oil solidifies quickly, so it can't be used for cooking, but it's still fine for making hot dishes and stews." Su Ziling explained.

"Although it solidifies quickly, it is also very easy to store. It will not be a problem to store it for a year."

"So long?" You must know that if lard is stored for a year, if it is not stored well, it will have some waxy fumes, but this paint oil is actually more durable than lard?

"Yes, it won't change its flavor after a year. I'm thinking I'll look for it another day when I have time. It would be nice if I could pick more." Su Ziling brought the oil into the kitchen.

Father Su was already sharpening his knife, "I'm here to kill the duck. How about I try this oil today!"

The whole family was busy again, Su Ziling started cooking, Su's father went to kill the ducks, Su's mother and the others were still washing the fern roots, and Su Zizhong and the others were chopping the fern roots.

After Mother Su and the others washed, they went to replace Mr. Su and the others. They went to chop, and the old man and the others went to pound.

Fortunately, there are many people, and there are also many pestles and mortars, and it is also pedal-operated, so it can be pounded much faster.

It had been a few days since I had pounded sweet potatoes. Mr. Su took out the big bucket and washed the fern root powder. The fern root was much more difficult to wash than the sweet potatoes. It took several times to wash it thoroughly.

After working until dark, he finished pounding and washing all the fern roots. Looking at the large buckets of water in the yard, Mr. Su slapped his back and said, "Qing girl, is the rice ready?"

"Okay, okay, it's already done. I'm just waiting for you to finish your work."

Mr. Su and the others washed their hands and walked into the kitchen, where they saw the food had been set.

Tonight's highlight dish, lacquered sour radish and old duck soup, was still simmering on the fire pit. I didn't dare to leave the fire, for fear that the lacquered oil would solidify before Mr. Su and the others came.

Seeing that people were seated, she started to scoop the duck, "Today's duck needs to be eaten while it's hot, otherwise it will solidify."
