The two ate and drank. Yang Qian, as the master of Zhuangzi and a member of Yuntong County, was still the object of respect for everyone.
Everyone with a surname in Zhuangzi toasted Yang Qian one after another.
When Zhuangzi became rich, Lao Chen also called a large number of actors to perform songs and dances.
Although it is somewhat nondescript and contrary to etiquette, in this three-acre acre, no one dares to say a word "no".
Looking at a beautiful actress, they began to dance with their waists as the music played.
It's a pity that this kind of dance, apart from being a bit novel, doesn't have much interest for Yang Qian.
What kind of dance have you never seen in your life? As it is not mainstream culture, if you watch it on video websites, you don’t even need to top up your VIP.
Lao Gao said, probably because Yang Qian's interest was waning.
"Your Majesty, this time the subordinate comes here, there is another matter that needs to be decided by you."
Although Yang Qian was not interested, he still stared at the graceful dance. After taking a sip of wine, he said calmly.
"explain."
"I came here to discuss with you whether the price of lard can be raised."
Yang Gan frowned and said, "Why is this? I originally planned to make lard popular, bring a pot, and every household can eat stir-fry dishes."
"But, Your Majesty, the lard delivered last time has been almost sold out. According to the number of sales and supplies, I'm afraid it won't be enough in a month or two, and the price of lard will definitely go up. I'm afraid it won't be enough." Sometimes things get messy.”
Although lard is now basically free, it cannot stop the people in Guizhou from getting rich, and the per capita consumption of oil is also rising.
Since the advent of iron pots and the smooth flow of trade, restaurants and inns have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain of hawkers, which Yang Qian did not expect. .
But raising prices rashly is probably not going to work. If a daily necessity does not appear, it is something else. But once it appears and suddenly disappears, it will cause big trouble.
Thinking of this, Yang Qian said to Lao Chen next to him, "Teng Ziyun is going to go shopping. When you come back, tell her to increase the amount of pork and make it all canned."
"Lao Gao, forget about raising the price of the pig, but it can be limited. How much per person per day, restaurant customers can use their discretion."
Lao Gao nodded. Unexpectedly, Junshang thought of such a good idea.
"Your Majesty, the method is good, but drinking poison to quench thirst)"
Yang Gan glanced at it and said with a smile, "I know, do you know about rapeseed flowers?"
Lao Gao and Lao Chen shook their heads in confusion.
Yang Gan was shocked and said, "Haven't you heard of it?"
Looking at each other, Old Chen said, "Sir, my family has been farming for generations, and I have never heard of this."
Yang Gan couldn't help but beat the drum. If there were no rapeseed flowers, where would he find peanuts, let alone palm trees.
Although there was no such thing, Yang Qian still described the appearance of rapeseed flowers.
After hearing this, Lao Gao didn't say anything. Lao Chen woke up and said, "Sir, what you have is Yuncao. We have this thing in Yuntong."
"Yuncai?"
Yang Qian almost fainted. Many things, plants, and foods have existed since ancient times, but they have different names.
“Does anyone grow this here?”
"Hahaha, sir, this thing is not food, and it is not delicious. Who grows that thing? In fact, there are many wild corpus in the wild."
Yang Gan counted the time and felt a little excited. Although he didn't know when the rapeseed flowers would mature, he thought it should be this time.
In his last life, Yang Gan clearly felt that all the rapeseed flowers had been harvested during the National Day. It must have been after September but before October.
"Old Chen, starting tomorrow, we will immediately organize people to cut back the sprouts you mentioned."
Old Chen hurriedly said, "Sir, there are tracts of wild brassicas in many rows. What can we do with so many?"
"Extract oil!"
"Oil extraction"
Lao Gao asked curiously, "Since ancient times, livestock have produced oil. Is there oil in these corn sprouts?"
In the two people's minds, oil is extracted from fat oil, and brassicas look like oil.
Yang Gan looked up at the sky and found (this chapter is not finished yet!)

There are very few clouds and obviously the sun should be shining brightly for the next few days.
"Listen to me, separate some people and use semi-automatic harvesters to harvest the corn sprouts. After harvesting, you don't need to take them back, just put them aside and expose them to the sun for three days."
"No~~!"
Although Lao Chen has concerns, he can still guarantee that Yang's words will be implemented 100%.
He ordered the little girl Zhang Yumeng to come back.
Zhang Yumeng came back and said angrily, "Why did you ask me to come back?"
Gao Yushi shrank his neck. In the whole Yuntong, Zhang Xiaoniang was probably the only one who dared to talk to Junshang like this.
"Can you design some machines for me?
Zhang Yumeng's eyes widened and he said depressedly, "What are you doing? If you don't do it, it won't be easy to get the wireless phone out for you. Why don't you just let me take a vacation?"
Yang Qian immediately pulled Zhang Yumeng to his side and comforted him softly, "Oh, I can't help it. If I can, I will definitely let you take a long vacation."
To deal with people like Zhang Yumeng, you must smooth your hair, otherwise there will be a long time to come. She also made it clear that she wants to be her own woman.
Don't beat your wife now because it's fun. Chasing her in the crematorium later won't be worth it.
Zhang Yumeng was not an idiot, and asked curiously, "What's going on? It's so urgent. As soon as the autumn harvest is over, sowing begins, and it won't be long before winter. Is there going to be a war soon?"
Yang Gan shook his head and said, "Well, I can't help it. Yuntong City has developed little by little, and there are many merchants coming and going. Some of them are caravans from Liao State, Shang State, and even Xing State."
"Everyone's conditions are good, and the lard is almost gone. You tell me if I'm in a hurry."
Zhang Yu was stunned. Yang Qian single-handedly pushed the food culture of Yuntong County forward for a hundred years. It would be very troublesome if he ran out of gas.
"You mean, even our use of oil will be restricted, right?"
Yang Qian nodded silently, but he didn't care in his heart. He would definitely ensure his own food, let alone others, but he couldn't say that)
Zhang Yumeng immediately became unhappy when he thought that he couldn't eat stir-fried vegetables. Stewed and steamed vegetables were rarely eaten. If he couldn't eat stir-fried vegetables, what's the point.
"Then what do you mean? Use vegetable oil? What to use to extract oil? There seems to be no oil-extracting crops in our fields."
Suddenly, Zhang Yumeng seemed to be thinking about something and asked, "Can I use peanuts?"
The corner of Yang Qian's mouth twitched fiercely, "I think so too, but the problem is, there don't seem to be any peanuts yet."
"You said last time that this world is very similar to our previous life, which is about the same as our Qin and Han Dynasties. When did peanuts become available?"
"I'm not sure. If there's no miscalculation, it won't be until tomorrow."
"Then use a big oil press. I look at the fields and there are a lot of soybeans." Zhang Yumeng suggested again.
Yang Qian objected again, "Dong, I've already found it, it's rapeseed flowers. Let's extract rapeseed oil. Forget about the big ones."
"Why is soybean oil good? Rapeseed oil always feels like too much fireworks."
Yang Gan frowned and said, "Please understand, we have limited supplies now. The best thing is to use peanuts. After all, the oil rate can be maintained at 50%. That is, two pounds of huangsheng equals one pound of oil. But this thing is now No."
"For rapeseed, the oil yield rate is also good, basically 30% to 40%. That is, three or four kilograms of rapeseed can produce one kilogram of oil."
Yu Meng asked, "What about soybeans?"
"That won't work. Peanuts and rapeseed are used to extract oil, but the main responsibility of soybeans is not to extract oil."
Zhang Yumengqi said, "But I have used soybean oil before. You can buy it in supermarkets, and there are quite a lot of it."
Yang Gan explained, "The oil yield of soybeans is only a pitiful 10%. It only takes ten kilograms to produce one kilogram of oil. If it is exhausted, it will produce one kilogram of oil. This stuff mainly requires soybean meal, which is the oil residue, which is used as feed for livestock. Yes, soybean oil is also a by-product.”
"In addition, this era is the era of sauces. Use soybeans to extract oil, unless your brain is broken."
"There are no rapeseed flowers in my village?" Zhang Yumeng was also a little confused. This thing used to grow into films when he was a child (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Yes, I haven’t seen it in this era.
"Rapeseed flowers are now called rapeseed. Old Chen said that they are everywhere, and they are all wild. My task for you is to get some machines."
Zhang Yumeng immediately took out a small book from his pocket, took out a charcoal pen and said, "You'd better explain the process of extracting oil, so that I can design it easily."
"It's an automatic machine, right?)"
"Don't even think about the fully automatic one. It's impossible without computer programming, but the semi-automatic one is better than manual work, and you can also use electricity. Anyway, I already have the motor."
Yang Gan's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "You even pulled out the motor?"
Zhang Yumeng's mouth widened, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely: "Brother, how can the saw run without a motor? I'm really convinced by you. That thing is very simple, and air traffic control is much more difficult than it."
Yang Gan flexed his fingers and said, "For rapeseed oil, the first step is to harvest the rapeseed flowers and dry them for three days. After everything is fully exposed to the sun, they need to be shelled."
"After shelling, the rapeseed needs to be fried. After frying, everything needs to be ground, and then put into a device. Whether it is horizontal or vertical force, it is squeezed. Do you have any thoughts?"
Zhang Yu carefully recorded all the steps, and then began to draw sketches during the ceremony.
After a long time, Zhang Yumeng scratched his head, picked up the bag and said, "I do this in three steps and need three machines."
"Tell me about it." Yang Qian took a sip of wine and was obviously in a good mood. Zhang Yumeng had never let him down.
There's nothing a woman can't do that can even do a cordless phone.
"The summary for you and me is just four steps, the first step is stripping, the second step is frying, the third step is grinding + pressing, and the fourth step is filtering."
