A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Surprise

Qin Sanlang looked at the soybean oil in the pottery basin, feeling surprised and pleasantly surprised.

 He knew that Gu Jinli wanted to use soybeans to make oil, and he thought she could do it, but when he actually saw the soybean oil, he still couldn't calm down.

 …From tofu to soybean oil, Xiaoyu has broken their understanding of soybeans again and again.

Who would have thought that this little soybean could make so many novel things.

Qin Sanlang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, is this oil considered finished?"

 Brother Cheng also looked at his second sister, waiting for her to speak.

Gu Jinli said: "Not yet, it needs to be filtered before it can be stored in jars."

 The soybean oil just extracted has too many impurities and must be filtered to obtain pure soybean oil.

Gu Jinli ran to her and Gu Jinxiu's house, took out a half-meter-long piece of Gebu from a wooden frame, folded the Gebu into three layers, and used the Gebu to filter the soybean oil. He filtered it three times before stopping.

At this time, the soybean oil no longer has foam and broken bean dregs, and shows an amber-like crystal color, which is very beautiful.

 “Wow~” Brother Cheng said in surprise: “Second sister, the soybean oil is very beautiful, even more beautiful than fried meat oil.”

Qin Sanlang also thought the color of the soybean oil was good-looking, and asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, is this done?"

Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, it's done. It can be put into an altar and stored."

The third grandma was cutting tofu with a knife. When she saw them talking together, Qin Sanlang also stopped beating the oil, so he came over and took a look. When he saw the filtered soybean oil, he was surprised: "This, this is soybean oil." ? Hey, I really made some oil!"

After speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth and ran to the courtyard door to take a look, fearing that someone was passing by and heard her words, but fortunately there was no one outside.

The third grandma ran back in a hurry and asked Xiaoyu in a low voice: "Is this really oily?"

Gu Jinli nodded: "Yes, this is oil. Let's fry something with soybeans later and try how the oil tastes."

The third grandma was so excited that she didn't know what to say. After a while, she said: “Okay, okay, let's fry something with soybeans. You can do whatever you want, put in as much oil as you want, and the third grandma won't stop you.”

 In the past, when Gu Jinli was cooking, the third grandma always felt bad that she put too much oil in and wasted it. Now when I make soybean oil, I no longer have to worry about her causing trouble.

 Brother Cheng had already run to the kitchen and told Cui and Gu Jinxiu about Gu Jinli making soybean oil. They hurried out and were surprised when they saw the soybean oil in the pot.

"Xiaoyu...this, this is really good." Cui's voice was trembling a little when she spoke.

Without waiting for Gu Jinli to speak, the third grandma said: "It's not that the oil comes, our little fish is the ability."

Ms. Cui and Gu Jinxiu were very happy after hearing this. They also heard that Gu Jinli wanted to fry something with soybeans. Ms. Cui said, "Mom, go and clear the pot for you."

The three pots in the kitchen are all boiling soy milk. If the pots are not used, the small fish cannot make food.

Mrs. Cui returned to the kitchen. Gu Jinxiu was not the kind of person who liked to watch the excitement. After seeing the soybean oil, she also went back to the kitchen to help.

 Gu Jinli found a jar, scalded it several times with boiling water, sterilized it, and put the filtered soybean oil into the jar, filling most of the jar.

Gu Jinli was very pleasantly surprised. This jar was not small and could hold five kilograms of water. Now she could fill the jar with half a finger. This meant that these twenty kilograms of soybeans produced at least four kilograms of oil, which was more than she expected. A lot more.

Qin Sanlang looked at Gu Jinli. He must have been surprised by the amount of soybean oil, so he said, "I'll borrow a small scale."

He ran to He Shiliu's house, spent a penny to rent a small scale, and weighed the soybean oil: "Six pounds and two ounces, the jar weighs two pounds, and this is four pounds and two ounces of oil." It actually produced four kilograms and two ounces of oil." This amount of oil production is really surprising.

Gu Jinli immediately made a calculation. Nowadays, soybeans on the market cost three cents per catty, and twenty catties of soybeans cost sixty cents. For sixty cents, you can get four catties and two taels of oil, which is much more cost-effective than lard.

A pound of fat pork costs thirty cents. A pound of fat pork can produce half a pound of oil. In other words, it costs sixty cents to produce one pound of oil. At the same price, soybean oil is three cents more than meat oil. Two ounces per catty.

Gu Jinli knew exactly what this meant.

She suppressed her excitement and said to Qin Sanlang: "Brother Qin, you have helped me a lot today. I will prepare delicious food, and you can stay and eat."

Qin Sanlang smiled, a small dimple appeared on his face, nodded and said: "Okay."

 But he was not idle either, but helped put away the pressed tofu.

Gu Jinli carried the soybean oil to the kitchen, and then took out the oil-pressed cake embryo from the small cloth bag.

After an hour of beating, these cake embryos have been completely bonded together to form a half centimeter thick bean cake.

 Gu Jinli cut the cakes into one-inch pieces, then heated the oil in a pan. After the soybean oil emitted the slightest white smoke, he put the cut cakes into the oil pan piece by piece.

The cake embryo expands rapidly in the oil pan, about three times in size. After the cake embryo is fried until crispy, it becomes fried bean skin.

 She also used soybean oil to make fried tofu and fried sweet potato balls. There was some meat sent by Shang Xiucai's family at home, and we made fried crispy pork and fried meatballs.

Although the soybean-fried stuff is not as fragrant as the meat-fried stuff, it is just as delicious.

 Brother Cheng and the third grandma were very happy to eat. The third grandma sighed: "How dare you eat like this before? I just fried some noodles during the Chinese New Year, but now I can open my stomach and eat fried things."

 Food is expensive, so farmers are reluctant to make fried food, so they always make some to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year. But now that she has soybean oil, she doesn't feel bad anymore.

 After Qin Sanlang ate a few pieces of fried bean skin, he returned home with two large pottery bowls of fried food given by Gu Jinli.

Not long after, the third grandfather who was working at the stall came back with Gu Dashan and his son who had gone shopping. The three of them were surprised when they looked at the fried food in the two pots and the jar of soybean oil.

The third grandfather was an old man who had been through the incident. He knew the value of the soybean oil, so he hurriedly told them: "Don't tell anyone how to make this soybean oil, otherwise there will be trouble."

 There are people grabbing the tofu recipes, let alone the soybean oil.

 The family nodded hurriedly in response.

Third Grandpa asked Gu Jinli again: "Xiaoyu, what are you going to do with this soybean oil?"

Soybean oil is a good thing, but if it is too good, it can easily cause trouble.

Gu Jinli looked at Gu Jinan and said with a smile: "Brother is going to Uncle Shang's house tomorrow, and I will go too to deliver soybean oil to Uncle Shang."

Shang Xiucai is very interested in soybean oil and soy sauce. She believes that this soybean oil will surprise him.

Seeing that Gu Jinli had a plan in mind, Third Grandpa felt relieved and said, "Okay, let's wait until we see Shang Xiucai tomorrow."

The third grandfather was very convinced of Shang Xiucai. Shang Xiucai had a father-in-law who was a county captain, so he would definitely be able to help them protect the soybean oil.
