The illegal sand washing incident has come to an end, and the "Let's Go" program has officially started recording again in the afternoon.
In the back mountain, there are not only the fruit trees planted this year, but also many original Camellia oleifera trees.
The Double Ninth Festival has passed, and the cold dew season is a good time to pick tea seeds.
The program team also intends to publicize this aspect and promote the sales of camellia oil in Meicheng.
Meicheng Camellia oleifera tree is also called tea tree.
Camellia oleifera is a unique woody oil tree species in the south, one of the four largest woody edible oil trees in the world, and China's tea oil is known as the olive oil of the East, but in fact, it is actually superior to olive oil in terms of its dual therapeutic functions.
In addition to similar nutritional components, tea oil also contains specific physiologically active substances tea polyphenols and tea saponin that olive oil does not have.
It is a pity that the Camellia oleifera industry, a unique and excellent native tree species, has not developed smoothly due to the long-term lack of new excellent varieties, poor management and high initial investment. There is also insufficient public awareness and lack of policy support.
.
There are many places in the south where Camellia oleifera is grown. The locals know how good it is. If they don’t have enough camellia oil at home, they will buy some to eat.
Few outsiders know of its existence.
This time in "Let's Go", the five guests put on sun hats and transformed into local tea pickers. They carried baskets on their backs and put on gloves to start picking tea.
This tea tree is not tall and is a shrub, so it is easy to pick.
In addition to the tea seeds on the trees, mature camellia seeds will naturally fall to the ground, and those on the ground must also be picked up.
In the past, after someone else picked a round of Camellia oleifera seeds, people who did not grow Camellia oleifera at home would take bags with them to the mountains to pick up the seeds that had fallen on the ground. They could pick up a bag in a day, and squeeze out about ten kilograms of oil.
Homemade food.
During the recording of this program, Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang also picked tea seeds together.
The guests asked, and they answered in a way that was introduced to the public.
Wang Yanmei also said: "Camellia oil is very precious to us. These days, all the dishes at home are fried with camellia oil."
"No wonder, the fried vegetables taste different. Not only are the vegetables delicious, but there is also a very fragrant smell, which turns out to be tea oil." Wen Hao sighed.
"Not only is the oil good and the food is good, but my aunt's cooking skills are also good." Xia Weiwei praised.
This made Wang Yanmei smile sheepishly and said modestly: "Where is it?"
After everyone picked tea seeds for a while, the program team arranged to go to the Camellia Tea House to explore how camellia oil is produced.
However, the picked Camellia oleifera seeds need to be dried in the sun, so that the oil yield rate is high. When they are exposed to the sun, the outer skin turns into a flower and rolls out like petals, revealing the black fruits inside. The oil is extracted from the fruits.
.
Naturally, the oil camellia seeds just picked by the boss cannot be squeezed for oil.
This program is mainly for the purpose of popularizing the camellia oleifera. What we watched were the camellia oleifera seeds from other companies.
This period of time coincides with the harvest season of Camellia oleifera, and people in Camellia oleifera shops are lined up waiting to be squeezed.
The guests just stood there and watched, chatting and asking the owner of the Camellia Tea Shop from time to time.
The camellia seeds must first be cleaned and dehulled. After steaming and frying the tea kernels, the oil can be squeezed out.
The machine is like a pressure cooker that simmers rice. It squeezes out the oil and then precipitates and filters it. The orange-yellow, clean and impurity-free camellia oil is ready.
For such a bundle, Camellia Oil only charges 15 yuan per bundle for processing.
The audience not only watched the modern oil pressing method with the guests, but when the program team learned that there was an ancient folk oil pressing workshop in this village, they immediately decided to go to the ancient oil pressing workshop again.
In this era of rapid development of the information economy, sometimes what you eat in restaurants are pre-made dishes. The pace of life seems to be accelerating, and people yearn for the past era of simple and unadulterated manpower. p>
As soon as you enter the ancient oil pressing workshop, you can see the large wooden shelves. The oil pressing environment is naturally not as clean and open as the shopping malls in the city, but it can't help but remind people of the feeling of childhood.
Every aspect of oil extraction is done manually, which is undoubtedly a very labor-intensive physical activity.
The owner of the oil pressing shop is a young man in his twenties. He also knew that the program crew was coming temporarily. He nervously wiped the sweat on his trouser legs in front of the live camera before shaking hands with PD Liu and said, "Welcome to you."<
/p>
Wen Hao was a little surprised to see his boss so young.
After all, it seems that traditional folk oil-pressing methods and young people are out of reach.
Living in the village during this period, he also had some understanding. Most of the people in the village were middle-aged and elderly people, and there were almost no traces of young people.
Wen Hao asked: "Boss, why do you want to do this?"
The owner of the oil pressing shop smiled and said: "This craft was passed down from my grandfather's generation. My father had a car accident the year before last and my grandfather was in poor health as he got older. I grew up in this environment since I was a child.
I had no reason to give up this job, so I quit my job and went home to do this, just to take care of my family."
"Can we make money?" Wen Hao asked.
"Fortunately, I can live at home and do some other business." The owner of the oil press said with a smile.
Not being miserable in front of the camera made Wen Hao feel a little admired.
You must know that in the past, many people who participated in such programs would choose to sell their products miserably, so that the products would sell better. It’s not that those people are wrong, it’s human nature, and they really don’t have much in life.
Okay, I just want to sell more products and make more money.
It’s just that this boss’s optimistic attitude is rare.
"Then I will take you through the process of oil extraction." The owner of the oil extraction shop stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to go this way.
The process of pressing oil in the ancient method is much more complicated, and every link tests the craftsmanship.
The boss explained: "For example, when roasting tea seeds, they must be in a state where there is no moisture and cannot be scorched. The sifted powder must be fine, the heat must be appropriate, and the oil must be squeezed in time, and the kung fu must be in place. Otherwise,
If you are not careful, you may not be able to squeeze out the oil or produce less oil.”
The guests followed into a room, which was a large rural stove, which used firepower to heat, bake, remove moisture, and stir-fry. It is here that you need to pay attention to the heat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"This is roasting tea seeds." The boss said.
When you go out of the room, you can see a stone mill in a yard.
The boss said: "This used to be a grinding mill. We used to use this large stone millstone, and manpower and oxen were used to pull the grinding. Now we rarely use it, and we will directly use an electric grinder to save time and effort." Walking further inside is the steam room.
An earthen stove with a steamer on top.
"In this way, the raw material is turned into clinker so that the oil can be easily separated. After steaming, it should be made into tea cakes while it is still hot."
Several guests were taken to another room, and everyone saw a more modern tool.
The boss explained: "In the past, the ancient method of pressing oil required people to trample the tea cakes firmly with their feet. But I always felt that it was not appropriate, especially now that young people like me are very careful about what they put into their mouths.
Whether the food is clean or not, if customers see that the oil they eat has been stepped on before it is made, it will definitely not work."
"The reason why I was inspired to make this machine is that I watched a short video before, such as the ancient method of making cane sugar. In the old method, the sugar cane was never washed and directly fed into the machine for juice extraction. There was a young man who thought
If it's not clean, I made a machine to automatically clean the sugar cane before pressing it. So I also built this cake pressing machine based on my many years of experience, which is much more convenient and cleaner."
Wen Haodao: "That's actually equivalent to combining technology with ancient methods to make it more suitable for the current market."
The boss nodded: "Yes."
The last room is to put the tea cakes into the pressing groove of the wooden press. The tea cakes must be placed neatly and smoothly, otherwise the oil may not be squeezed out.
After all the tea cakes are placed, wooden plugs, wooden wedges and stakes will be inserted
The next step is to rely on manpower to pull the piles back and forth, and rely on the force of squeezing to physically press the oil cake. In fact, this is the basic principle of ancient oil pressing.
In the live broadcast room, the physically pressed tea oil overflowed from the oil cake like raindrops, gathered together and flowed continuously from the oil outlet beside the press into the large wooden barrel outside the press.
This kind of native technique of pressing camellia oil is actually hard to see anymore in modern times.
The boss even said unabashedly: "Actually, I also have a modern oil pressing workshop. After all, the ancient oil pressing process is cumbersome, but some of the older generation are still reluctant to do this and come to my place to press oil. What you just saw
They are all people from the village who come to help. They want to squeeze oil and eat it like this to make it delicious, so I have never left it alone and don’t charge them any money. As long as someone needs it, I will do it for a day."
When the men who had finished their work knew that the show was being recorded, they all crowded over and said thank you to Xiao Li.
"In these years, Xiao Li has not even confiscated our money when we came to extract oil."
"Yes, actually there are not many profitable businesses in the village. Xiao Li's life has not been easy these years."
An old man said: "If there were not oil presses in the village, we would have to go all the way to press oil. It would be very troublesome."
"When you record the show, can you help us promote it more? Our camellia oil is actually very good."
"Yes, the oil I pressed today is my own. You can scoop out a few kilograms and try it."
Online viewers in the live broadcast room commented one after another.
[This kind of ancient oil pressing is really rare. My mother took me to see it when I was a child. The smell of the oil is still in my memory. Now there are no oil presses in the village. You have to go to the town.
Oil pressing workshop.]
[Now that there are few people in the village, there are even fewer people pressing oil. The oil pressing mill in the village is not profitable at all.]
[Just like schools, now the primary schools in the villages are gone and there are fewer people. There is no way to consolidate these resources in the town, and people from all over the country go to the town to squeeze.]
[I hope this boss can stick to it, at least not let this craft be lost.]
[Does anyone know how much this tea oil costs per pound? I would like to buy some to try?]
[The oil pressing workshop can actually make some money by selling cha Ku rapeseed cakes. Let the boss sell it directly online. I grow strawberries to make enzyme fertilizer and buy it every year.]
[If you buy camellia oil, it is very expensive. The price is different in different places. Over there, it is more than 50 pounds per pound, which is relatively cheap. For example, in areas with good quality camellia oil, the prices are more than 70 or even 80 pounds.
One more pound.]
[Actually, the main reason is that people don’t trust the things on the Internet and don’t know whether the quality is good or not.]
[Yeah, even the food from Fuwang Farm was questioned at first. There was a test report later, and it was really delicious. We bought it so many times and never had it turn over. That’s why we have it now.
Everyone is rushing to buy.】
To put it bluntly, it’s okay to buy something cheaper, but if it’s too expensive and the cost of trying is too high, forget it. Who knows if those things sold online are unscrupulous, and there are many unscrupulous merchants.
Wen Hao worked at Fuwang Farm for a few days and knew that selling goods online was very popular now, so he asked the boss: "Do you have an online store?"
The boss shook his head and said, "Most of the folks from nearby come to extract the oil. After the oil is extracted, the tea leaves and rapeseed cakes can be taken away by whoever wants them. If you want to give money, just give them."
"Then you can open a store online, and our program will help you promote it." Song Feizhou said.
Huo Fengze, who has always been a man of few words: "Our current program is Yunqi Live. You can directly apply for a store on Yunqi Live."
The boss is a young man and he is very receptive to these things, but he has never thought of doing it before. After all, there are so many shops online and no one will pay attention to them.
The boss also knew that the program was intended to be promoted, so he immediately agreed. He took out his mobile phone to download the app and submitted his business license and other information.
Yunqi Live reviewed it very quickly, and the store passed it quickly.
The "Xiao Li Oil Pressing Shop" store is online.
He put everything in the store on the shelves.
Cha Ku, 15 yuan for 5 jins. Peanut bran, 15 yuan for 5 jins. Rapeseed cake, 15 yuan for 5 jins. Camellia oil, 75 yuan for 1 catty, all with free shipping.
The price he sells is a very authentic price, and he didn't deliberately increase the price because of the program promotion.
The online audience base of the "Let's Go" program is here, and many people are rushing into the store to buy. Although it is not the boss's product, this program has indeed played some promotional role.
Fishermen can buy it to make nests, and vegetable growers can use it to make fertilizers. After all, peanut bran is a good organic fertilizer.
Although camellia oil is expensive, it is indeed the price. Not only the audience grabbed it, but the five guests who knew it at the first time also bought dozens of kilograms to show their support.
Especially Wen Hao. Although he has been acting on the set all year round and does not cook, he tasted the food at the boss's house and knew that it was fried with camellia oil. This camellia oil was so healthy, so he thought about buying some for his family and bought a whole meal in one go.
A hundred catties, it’s not bad money anyway.
After Xiao Li launched the product, he was shocked to see that it was sold out in the background.
Carrying the live broadcast room, I couldn't hold back the tears.
In order to come back to take care of his grandfather and father, he gave up earning 10,000 yuan a month at a city construction site. Over the years, he struggled to live in an oil press. From time to time, he would go out to do small jobs and grow some rice and vegetables. Unexpectedly, he would not expect to receive free gifts.
It can really be sold for money, and it’s so fast.
This is the economic effect of the era when traffic is the most important. If someone pays attention, everything can be sold quickly.
Nowadays, many markets are occupied by finished products sold by capitalists, but in this era, there are still a few people who insist on making original and good products.
