When he arrived, Congratulations was already waiting for him at the door, "Brother Lin, I didn't pour out the juice, but a lot of oil came up just now."

Hearing this, Lin Li was so happy that he quickly lit the oil lamp in the house, asked his two younger brothers to do their homework, and went to the workshop behind with He Yan.When I came to the side of the wooden barrel, another layer of oil floated on it, and when I scooped it up, it weighed two catties.

I don't know if the oil will surface, but no one is willing to pour it out at the moment.Lin Li remembered that the ripe olive fruit would ferment within 24 hours, but he didn't know if the juice would ferment at the same time.In any case, I still have to try it, maybe it can still produce oil?

He spent almost all the night in the workshop, and in the afternoon, he produced two large barrels of juice.They have to scoop up the floating oil, after all, they are picked at the same time.

But the facts are the facts. At dawn, the oil barrels were bubbling one after another.You can smell the sour smell of alcohol when you get close.

Seeing this, I remembered that the olives picked last night had to go to work as soon as possible, and I didn't even have time to eat during this busy work.When I stopped, I remembered my younger brother in the house. When I went back to the wing room, I saw that the bed was neatly made, and they had already gone to school.

"Mr. Lin, these are for you. You have been busy all morning, hurry up and have some food." The master chef in the kitchen came in with a tray and put the food on the table.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, can you see my younger brother in the morning?" Master Li is also very old. He has been a child of the Wei family since he was a child, and he has not married a brother until now, which is very rare for children.

"I see, Mr. Lin is really lucky. Both younger brothers are smart and sensible, and they even help the old slave serve dishes." He said with a gentle smile.

Lin Li finally took a breath and expressed his thanks to Master Li again and again.After eating, he was so tired that he didn't even take a shower, so he fell into bed and fell asleep in a daze.

It was already noon when I woke up again, and the workshop was still bumping and smashing fruits.It may be that I was too excited to see the oil. Last night, everyone worked hard to pick it. Four barrels of juice have been produced by now. It seems that there are still many olives left.

Pulling the congratulatory words aside, "Brother He, do you know when Brother Wei will come over?" This Wei Zhengyu is also real, why can't he send a steward over here, and really leave everything to him.

"Second Young Master said that he would come over if he had time in the next two days. Brother Lin, there are a bit too many olives. I picked today's amount yesterday. I really didn't expect that these things would go bad so quickly. what to do?"

He has no choice but to speed up and hit as much as he can.In order to improve the corn cake baked by the master at noon, I just eat it while doing it.In this way, the non-stop fight was not finished until late in the afternoon, and there was not enough manpower, so he and He Yan were always scooping oil by the barrel.

The last bucket came out with a little bit of scooping, and the other buckets were also full of oil, which made me feel distressed when I saw it.

"Uncle Li, bring over the big basin used in the kitchen."

Now it can only be boiled, because it expands with heat and contracts with cold, and the density of oil is lower than that of water, and it naturally spreads faster after heating.That might get some oil out.

Pour all the oil-water mixture in the upper layer into the cauldron, and with the gurgling sound of the water rolling, the oil floats up quickly.

"Brother Lin, why didn't we heat it up from the beginning?"

"Can the oil that has been stewed be scooped up and used? The heated oil is easy to break and is not easy to store. It must be used in a short time."

"Brother Lin, what do you mean the oil we scooped out of the barrel just now can last for a long time?" The lard they usually use is fine if it freezes in winter, but it is easy to go bad in summer.

"Yes, but put it in a cool and dark place, like the cellar we dug, it won't go bad after a year."

After cooking several pots, more than [-] catties of oil were scooped out.Finally got it all done when the sun went down.Seeing the excited workers around him, Lin Li scooped out about three catties of oil from a small pot in the kitchen and handed it to Uncle Li.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Uncle Li will cook with this tonight. Let's celebrate together." The workers didn't expect that they would be able to eat oil, so they would happily lift Lin Li up.

"Okay, don't make a fuss. It's still bright outside, let's pick the olives for tomorrow morning." Lin Li didn't know how much they picked yesterday, so he could only use a piece of paper to count. Fortunately, the baskets are all the same size.After doing this calculation, it will be much clearer to assign to each person.

They are all rough guys, how could there be less wine in the celebration.Even if Lin Li has a good capacity for drinking, he can't rely on such a drink.When Li Lin sent the two children over, he was already dizzy.

Li Lin originally wanted to stay and take care of Lin Li, but He Yan assured him that he could take care of him well.Li Lin was also afraid that his family would be worried if he didn't go home, so he partnered with He Yan to put him on the bed and left first.

The next morning, Lin Li really felt the consequences. The wine they drank last night was already cheap, and the alcohol content was unusually high.After the stamina came up, my head still hurts very much, and my head is also groggy.

With the two children gone, he was the only one left, and his elder brother was really dereliction of duty.He put on his shoes and started to go to the kitchen. When Master Li saw him, he hurried forward to support him.

"Mr. Lin, please be better. Those boys are really ignorant. How can a scholar like Mr. Lin compare with them. I made a hangover soup and you drink it first."

I was so happy that I never drank so recklessly here. Thinking about my life of getting drunk every now and then, this time I drank happily. "Thank you, Uncle Li, it's okay." I took the hangover soup and didn't know what it was made of, but it tasted weird anyway.After taking a sip, the rest of the sip fell into my stomach.

Master Li got off the stove and heated up the pre-reserved meals. Unfortunately, Lin Li really didn't have much appetite now, so he only drank some soup in the end.It would have been nice if it had capers.

The work in the workshop was in full swing, and he wanted to go back to see Li Xian if there was nothing to do, but he really didn't dare to go back because the exit was full of alcohol.This is also his wrong thinking. In ancient times, a man who could not drink was not a real man.

I didn't take a shower for two days and now my body smells bad. I have been busy from the day before yesterday to yesterday and I didn't know how much sweat I was sweating. I asked Uncle Li to help him boil some hot water. He was going to go back to the house to wash.

When the door rang, Lin Li was putting on his clothes, "Who is it?" Then there were three buttons, but he didn't know who it was.

"Brother Wei, you are here, why don't you make a sound?"

"How much wine have you drunk?" Lin Li smelled of alcohol as soon as he spoke.

"Is it still smelly? I drank hangover soup and had dinner, so why hasn't the smell dissipated." So it seems that he won't be able to go home in the afternoon.

"Last night I was so happy and drank too much. The oil has been made, I'll take you there to have a look." Wei Zhengyu felt a little helpless after hearing this, "Those guys drink a lot of wine, how dare you drink with them."

The cellar was just under the storage room, and the two went down to the cellar, and Lin Li brought out a small jar of oil.The clay pots are all earth-colored. Although it is daytime, you can only see that the surface is green and the bottom is very black.

"Brother Wei, if you want to sell it, it's better to put it in a white porcelain bottle, otherwise it will be too ugly." Wei Zhengyu asked the servant beside him to go to the kitchen to get a white porcelain bowl.

Pour the oil into the porcelain bowl. Under the reflection of the white porcelain bowl, the oil is not green, but yellowish in blue.The special translucency is simply beautiful.

Take a closer look and smell the fragrance.It was much better than what Lin Li gave him last time.

"How much oil is produced in total?" Regardless of the taste, the fragrance and beautiful color alone will definitely sell well.

"From the afternoon of the day before yesterday to yesterday, a total of 110 catties of this kind of oil were produced, and another [-] catties of low-quality oil were produced. Normally, a hundred catties of oil a day is not a problem."

He is still very satisfied with this output, the only thing that worries him is how long the oil can last.He couldn't be happier when he heard Lin Li say that it can be stored for a year at a temperature like the end of autumn.

"I'll try selling these in the town first. By the way, what do you mean by low-grade oil?" Lin Li took out another jar, "This one looks the same as these, but if you smell it carefully, the fragrance is far less than this one." It has a strong fragrance, and if it is poured out, the color will be more yellow. This is the oil heated from the remaining juice, and it can only be stored for a month at most, and it will go bad after that.”

Hearing what Lin Li said, he wasn't very interested, after all, the output of one was low and the other couldn't be kept.But if you calculate twenty catties a day, it's not a lot, and it will be sold in the town at that time.

Wei Zhengyu left after having lunch, Lin Li arranged the rest of the work, greeted He Yan and left.

When he arrived at Li's house, his father told him that Li Xian was taking a nap. Li's house used to have only three rooms.The middle one is the living room, and the wing rooms on both sides are separated into two small rooms, which can be enough for a family to live in.Li Lin has already moved into a new house, and there is just a small room for the children to live in.Originally, it was fine for him to stay here, but there is a custom here that a brother-in-law cannot share a room with a brother-in-law when he comes here.

We've been together for so long, seeing Li Xian's unreserved sleeping face, besides being full of happiness, there is more shock in my heart.I don't think so when I'm busy, but only when I really met this meeting did I realize how much I miss in my heart.

When Li Xian opened his eyes, he saw Lin Li staring at him blankly. "Sanggong, Xianggong?" Lin Li didn't come home for two days, Li Xian was surprised and happy.

"Cuckoo" his stomach started to growl, Li Xianzheng was a little embarrassed, but Lin Li came back to his senses at this time. "Is Ah Xian hungry?"
