“Erfu called, and we came,” Qing Shu and the others laughed.
“Thank you, thank you.” Xue Darong expressed his thanks. “I’ll definitely extract the oil well for you.”
Once Qingshu and the others left, Xue Dagui immediately pounced over with a sullen face. “Hehe, hello.” He then turned to Xue Dafu and smiled.
Xue Dafu couldn’t even be bothered to look at Xue Dagui, clearly still angry.
“You’re here too?” Xue Darong was surprised.
“Do you think I’m that dense?” Xue Dagui was even drooling. “He already sent the seeds over, so they can definitely be extracted out. Why would I sell them in town?”
“You’re smart, but for the wrong reasons.” Xue Darong was not in a good mood. “Alright, send it in. As long as you’re no longer a cheater, he won’t really cut off all contact with you.”
“I know, I know,” Xue Dagui chuckled again.
After Xue Dagui put the seeds in, he went to Xue Da’s room to chat with him. Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu didn’t leave either. Instead, they helped to clean up the oil mill so that they could get oil earlier.
Naturally, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were also helping with the cleaning.
By the time they were done cleaning, it was already noon. Xua Yan’s family insisted on having them stay for lunch. Seeing that it was just a simple meal without any special preparations and that they were not outsiders, they said yes.
Before they could finish their lunch, Chief Lu came. He sighed and said that the town’s oil mill had already taken away the seeds in the village at four coins per bag. However, there were 20 families selling vegetables less than last year. The town’s oil mill could tell with one look at their booklet and said that they would no longer take seeds from these 20 families in the future. In any case, they were very arrogant.
“If you don’t want it, then leave!” Xua Yan said immediately. “When our family can extract good oil, it will be difficult for them to get seeds from our village!”
Chief Lu laughed. “I’m actually hoping that your family can really squeeze some money out of us so that we can at least earn more. There’s only one oil mill in town, and they’re getting more and more outrageous with the price. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone almost fought with them just now, they were planning to push it down to three coins per bag. What can that do? It’ll be just enough for us to pay taxes, so we might as well not plant it.”
“Chief, don’t worry. We’ll definitely be able to extract out some good oil this time.” Xua Yan was also very confident.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both wanted to laugh. Sometimes, they really didn’t know where their Xua Yan’s confidence came from. It was as if as long as he wanted to do something, he would not doubt it at all and would immediately be full of confidence.
After lunch, he was ready to extract the oil.
Jiang Yue had taught them how to extract some oil, so they didn’t need Xue Yan, Xue Dafu, and Xue Erfu’s help.
Xue Yan went back to look at the blueprint.
In the oil mill, Jiang Yue opened the half bag of seeds when Xua Yan carried it to the pot. She said while looking at it, “There can’t be moldy seeds. It will affect the quality and make the oil have a strange smell.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I know, I know.” Xua Yan nodded. At this time, he was especially humble and remembered everything she said in his heart.
Xue Darong and the others were also nodding their heads, their ears perked up. They were afraid that if they missed a word, it would backfire for them again.
“Pour it in,” Jiang Yue said.
Only then did Xua Yan pour the half bag of rapeseed into the big frying pan and stir-fry it slowly on fire.
“Please be careful with the fire. It must be gentle,” Jiang Yue said.
