He Yunxi didn't say what she was doing, so the children went to bed after dark, and only Lu Yan stayed with her.
Under the dim light, drops of oil dripped down, and He Yunxi happily shouted to Lu Yan: "Lu Yan, Lu Yan, look, it's really good!"
Lu Yan saw her excited look, and the corners of his lips also rose.
"Congratulations, you succeeded."
"I've only seen it online before, but I've never done it myself. I didn't expect it to be successful in just one try." He Yunxi said, "I'll wait and see how much oil is produced."
"I'll do it." Lu Yan already understood how to operate, took the hammer, and continued to hit the cake.
"Okay, then you go ahead and I'll take a shower." He Yunxi said to him and went to take a shower.
After a while, she came back after washing, and while wiping her hair, she asked, "Do you want me to do it instead?"
"No need. I'll sweat again after a while. It should be fine after a while."
As he spoke, Lu Yan looked up and saw that she was wearing loose clothes, her hair was scattered at the back, and she was wiping the water from her hair casually with her right hand. She was obviously a child who had not yet fully grown, but it made him feel that she had a different kind of aura.
He Yunxi didn't feel self-aware, so he squatted down to check the bean cakes, "Well, it should be almost done. Not much oil has come out now."
Lu Yan beat it for a while and then stopped. He Yunxi picked up the pottery bowl filled with oil, weighed it, and said, "This should weigh two or three kilograms. The oil yield rate is 20 to 30 percent, which is pretty good."
Ten kilograms of beans cost thirty copper coins, and two or three kilograms of oil are produced. Calculated, the cost of one kilogram is only about ten copper coins. Of course, labor costs are calculated separately. But in this era, labor costs are the cheapest.
Moreover, the fried residue can be used for other purposes, which can be regarded as saving costs.
Two pounds of oil can last for several days.
He Yunxi put the soybean oil in the kitchen and let it settle.
"Let's go and have a rest. We have to get up early tomorrow morning to grind tofu."
"Wait a minute, your hair is not dry yet, wring it dry before going to bed."
"No need. Just spread out and sleep in a while." He Yunxi was already sleepy. He knew that this was not good for his health and was unwilling to move anymore.
Lu Yan blurted out: "Go to bed and I will twist your hair."
"Ah? How can this be so embarrassing?" He Yunxi said embarrassedly.
"I want to memorize another text silently. I can memorize it silently and twist it for you at the same time." Lu Yan said.
"It's so hard for you." He Yunxi really felt that Lu Yan had worked hard, "Why don't you go to the academy early."
"No need." Lu Yan came in with a dry towel. He Yunxi went inside and smiled: "Excuse me, I'm going to bed first!"
She didn't know if she was convinced that Lu Yan wouldn't do anything to her. Now that he was around, she could fall asleep quickly. Just like now, after a while, her breathing began to be regular and long, and she was obviously asleep.
Lu Yan wiped her hair and saw her quiet face under the dim light, feeling a rare peace of mind.
Sometimes he felt it was strange that his heart, which had been filled with pain and hatred for more than ten years, became peaceful in just a few days after returning. He still hated those people, but they no longer caused him the same pain as in the previous life.
breathe.
After his rebirth, his life no longer seemed to exist just for revenge.
His family is still there, and he wants to protect them. There is also her, a person who is not gentle and quiet at all.
In his previous life, someone once asked him what kind of woman he was looking for. At that time, he said she should be gentle and quiet. He also thought that if he succeeded in revenge in his previous life, he might find someone gentle and quiet to accompany him.
who knows……
He and she, both with young bodies but with mature souls, are still husband and wife, which is a rare encounter when you think about it.
He touched her hair and when it was almost dry, he blew the oil lamp and went to sleep.
The next day, He Yunxi got up again and found out that Lu Yan was no longer in bed. She got up and went out, but Lu Yan was already working hard.
He Yunxi went over, took a gourd and scooped out the beans, added them in, and whispered: "You didn't call me when you woke up."
"When I woke up, I saw you were still sleeping soundly." Lu Yan said.
He Yunxi, who had watched a lot of TV series in his previous life, was inexplicably stung by this sentence, and he couldn't imagine that he would say such a thing again.
"I'll do it. I'll make the soy milk later and you can come back."
"good."
Lu Yan got out of the way, He Yunxi pushed him, and Lu Yan went aside to rest. When He Yunxi put all the tofu on his head, he was ready to set off.
"Lu Yan, wait a minute." He Yunxi came out with a medicine bowl, "Your medicine has been cooked for you, drink it first."
Lu Yan took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"I baked some cakes and porridge for you. You can eat before you leave."
Lu Yan looked at the sky and shook his head: "No need for the porridge. I'll get some cakes to eat on the way."
"Okay, then you can bring a few more and give them to the village chief and Li Zheng. They helped us early in the morning, so we have to show off." He Yunxi wrapped a few cakes in oil paper and brought them out, "Remember to order more.
Big vat.”
"I see."
Lu Yan took the cake and left. When the children got up, He Yunxi asked them to wash up and went to the kitchen to cook.
The soybean oil from last night has precipitated, the oil residue has settled to the bottom, and the oil on top is clear and clean.
She fried a piece of fungus meat in soybean oil and fried cabbage. During the meal, everyone noticed that today's dish tasted different.
"Sister-in-law, today's food tastes different from before." Lu Yunqing asked.
"Today it was fried with soybean oil, not lard, so it tastes different." He Yunxi said, "How about it, does it taste good if it is fried with soybean oil?"
“It’s delicious! It also smells like beans.”
"Sister-in-law, will we all use soybean oil for cooking in the future?" Lu Yunjiao asked.
"Yes." He Yunxi said, "I will get you other oil to eat when I have the opportunity."
"Are other oils delicious?"
"Different oils have different flavors. Rapeseed, peanut, sunflower, camellia oil, sesame oil, olive oil, etc., each has its own advantages."
"There is so much oil!" Lu Yunqing sighed.
"There are many types of oils. You can try them all if you have the opportunity in the future. But for now, you can't tell others that what we eat is soybean oil. Can you do that?" He Yunxi asked.
"Why?" Lu Yunqing asked.
Lu Qi knocked her on the head: "Silly, if other people know we have this, but they don't, they will come and rob us!"
Lu Yunqing gave a long oh, then nodded fiercely: "Last time I saw Daniel snatching Xiaohua's candy, just because he didn't have candy. I can't say it, I must not say it. I can't let others snatch it from me."
He Yunxi didn't expect Lu Qi to be so good at talking. Lu Yunqing had promised, so they wouldn't tell anything.
