"Every household has a lot of surplus grain, and even the imperial court has stored a lot of soybeans! If soybeans can be used to extract oil, it will definitely alleviate the rising oil prices. In the future, people will be able to use more oil when cooking!"
"Yes, people have more energy in their stomachs, and they are even more energetic at work!"
"Yes, yes, yes, it would be a good thing if soybeans can be used to extract oil...!"
When all the officials learned that oil could be extracted from soybeans, they all marveled.
The animal oil that people eat now produces very little oil. Even a fat pig cannot produce much oil.
So the price of oil is very high.
After this price increase, the price is even higher!
"That's okay!"
The idea was his own, so Ying Feiyu had no choice but to agree.
I have been in Daqin for so long, and I have always been busy with people's livelihood issues, helping people with food and clothing, and dealing with foreign enemies. I really never thought of reforming the edible oil issue!
Taking this opportunity, we just got out the soybean oil and let the people have a taste of vegetable oil!
After the morning meeting, he began to draw the drawings of the oil press, and then handed them to Huang Yuan for him to look at and study!
Huang Yuan has built countless machines in his hands, and a small oil press cannot stop him at all!
The main core of this machine is electricity, so Yingheng is also included!
Since electricity was developed, he has built many things, and even completed the manufacture of electric motors independently.
With his help, the progress will be faster!
While the machine was being manufactured, Ying Feiyu ordered people to buy a lot of soybeans.
The soybeans were harvested last fall and are now drying.
The servants in the order house will pick out all the impurities in the beans, and then fry the beans until they are ready!
Huang Yuan separated all the parts of the machine, and each person was responsible for a part. After they were all built, they were put together again!
In this way, the time of machine manufacturing can be greatly shortened!
Within seven days, an oil press was built!
Ying Feiyu ordered someone to find a workshop to build an oil mill. After transporting the machine there, he started the first oil extraction in Great Qin!
After teaching the workers the detailed step-by-step method, buckets of yellow soybean oil were squeezed out in the evening!
"His Royal Highness, it really succeeded!"
When the veterans heard that the oil press was finished, they immediately ran to the oil mill to watch.
In the evening, a servant sent a message to Ying Feiyu, saying that the soybean oil had been squeezed out, so Ying Feiyu came to watch!
He found the oil press through a universal search in the system, so he couldn't be wrong.
Smooth extraction of soybean oil is inevitable!
"Um!"
Ying Feiyu nodded slightly, walked to the barrel of pressed soybean oil, and took a closer look.
Um! That’s it!
"Your Highness, this soybean oil smells so good!"
The veterans have been staying at the oil mill since they heard about oil extraction, and they can see the oil extraction process clearly and clearly.
Smelling the alluring aroma of beans all the time, the stomachs of the veterans began to growl!
"Of course! This vegetable oil not only smells good, but also tastes better! It's also healthier than animal oil!"
Ying Feiyu looked at the clear soybean oil and said with a smile.
"really?"
I heard that it tastes better when eaten, and the eyes of the veterans suddenly lit up.
"Can I still lie to you...?"
Ying Feiyu smiled confidently, "Let's do this. I will take this soybean oil to Bieyuan later, and I will cook it myself and fry some for you!"
After eating animal oil for so many years, even he missed the fragrance of soybean oil and couldn't help but want to have a taste.
Just let these old guys see the charm of soybean oil that has been passed down for hundreds of years!
"Hahaha! That's such a good feeling!"
After hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the old guys became even bigger.
This soybean oil smells so tempting, and coupled with His Highness the Crown Prince's cooking skills, why don't they swallow it all with their tongues?
"Since the oil press has been successfully manufactured and tested, we will manufacture it in large quantities so that people can also taste soybean oil!"
Ying Feiyu ordered Huang Yuan.
"yes!"
The moment the soybean oil was successfully squeezed out, Huang Yuan guessed that there would be a day of mass production and had already begun to dispatch craftsmen.
As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives the order, materials preparation and production will begin immediately!
"Your Highness, although this oil press is good, if it is mass-produced, the common people will not be able to afford it!"
Wang Ben frowned slightly, worried about the people's pockets.
"Ouch! Lao Wang, your worries are a bit unnecessary!"
Zhang Han didn't show the slightest hint of worry. Instead, he smiled and patted Wang Ben on the shoulder.
"How do you say this?"
Wang Ben was puzzled.
"Have all the machines built by His Highness been bought by the common people?"
"That's definitely not the case!"
"Wouldn't it be intercepted? Just like telegraph machines and tractors, people can rent them!"
Zhang Han, the monkey spirit, immediately understood what Ying Feiyu meant.
"Lease? Do you mean that people can hold the beans themselves and rent machines to squeeze the oil?"
After being reminded like this, Wang Ben suddenly realized.
"That's right! Every time you pay a certain fee, you can use the machine to extract oil! It's very convenient for the people, and it's also profitable for the businessmen!"
Zhang Han said with a smile.
"Your Highness, is this true?"
Wang Ben looked at Ying Feiyu.
"Zhang Shangshu is right! Not everyone can afford an oil press. Even if they can afford it, there is no need to buy it! As long as it is sealed well, soybean oil can be stored for a long time without If it goes bad, people can squeeze more at one time and store it, and just squeeze it once a year!"
Even in later generations, not every household has an oil press.
This thing is only used once or twice a year, so there is no need to buy it!
"After the oil press is built, it will be sold to the outside world. Those who have bought the machine can open an oil mill! They can buy soybeans to press the oil and sell it to the outside world, or people can bring their own beans and rent a machine to press the oil and earn a certain amount of money! No matter which If you do this, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money!”
Ying Feiyu explained.
After the machine was built, he planned to move a few more to set up Daqin's first oil shop.
After some businessmen see it, they will definitely follow suit and gradually form a scale to facilitate the people!
"The soybean cakes left after the soybeans are pressed for oil can also be fed to livestock as feed. These feeds contain extremely high nutrients and can help livestock fatten up quickly!"
Ying Feiyu ordered people to load the bean cakes left over from the oil extraction into the car, preparing to take them back to feed the livestock raised in Bieyuan.
"That's really good! After the oil mill was officially established, I also brought some soybeans, squeezed them into soybean oil, and fed the remaining soybean cakes to the pigs raised at home, haha!"
"Yes, yes, I happen to have a lot of food stored at home and I don't know where to use it. It's just right to use it to squeeze oil!"
"Huang Yuan, you have to supervise those craftsmen and ask them to make machines faster. We are all waiting! Haha...!"
Thinking of this, the veterans immediately turned their attention to Huang Yuan.
Only if he develops the machine can they squeeze the newly developed vegetable oil!
