Chapter 652: Success
"It\'s really oil! And that too so much!" Chen Mi was shocked as he rushed over to look at the oil that was being squeezed out of the small hole in the wooden hedge. It was enough for them to cook for a month with it! When Yu Dong told them that she would be able to squeeze oil out of rice bran, he did not expect that she will be able to squeeze so much oil from just a sack of rice bran!Yu Dong turned to look at Village head Gu and hiked up a brow as she asked, " What did you think that I would not be able to extract oil? You had doubts about my ability didn\'t you village head ?"
" Of course not," Village head Gu choked up when she heard Yu Dong\'s words, she was indeed a bit unconvinced when she took a look at how dry the rice bran was, never did she expect that so much oil would be able to be extracted from just one sack of rice bran.
Yu Dong did not say anything, she knew that even though the village head Gu was willing to support her she was a bit dubious about whether they will be able to extract enough oil from the rice bran. Instead, she turned to look at the oil that was extracted from the rice bran and released some of her spiritual energy such that the quality of the oil would become even better than it was at this moment.
Only after she was done instilling her spiritual energy in the oil did she turn to look at Yu Tong and Aunt Wang who were still hammering and said, " Stop, there is no need for you to hammer anymore. The rice bran has gotten cold now you won\'t be able to squeeze any more rice bran oil from it, we need to make another patty of the rice bran to squeeze more oil now."
Now that they have seen that the rice bran could actually squeeze so much oil, no one dared to slack off anymore. Village head Gu was even faster than Yu Dong while moving the mill and the rest of the people who were in charge of their own jobs did not make a mistake either.
Aunt Wang and Yu Tong combined their efforts to squeeze as much oil as possible from the patty of the rice bran that has been finely grounded by Yu Dong and Village head Gu. And the more they looked at the amount of oil being squeezed out of the rice patty the more energetic they became and the more energetic they became the more oil was squeezed out of the patty.
They only stopped when they were done taking every single bit of oil out of the patty and then brought the oil to be steamed and filtered by Shen Li and Xiao Zimo who were in charge of filtering the raw oil that was taken out of the rice bran.
The two of them did not dare to slack off either and continued to work hard while the rest of the family continued to extract the raw oil. It was only after they extracted more than two barrels of rice bran oil did Chen Mi who was in charge of stir-frying the rice bran raised his head and excitedly said, " Should we try the oil and see how good it really is?"
He was very much excited to try this new oil that had no smell, even though the rapeseed\'s scent was not that harsh one could smell it while they were eating the things cooked in it but the rice bran oil that Yu Dong squeezed had a very gentle scent and did not linger for long. He wanted to see if this oil that already had this light of smell would have any scent left behind after they were done cooking with it.
" We should," Village head Gu also wanted to try this new oil that they have extracted, even though they extracted so much oil and there was no smell, they needed to see if this oil was good enough to be used in cooking or not.
Yu Dong also understood that they all wanted to try the oil that they have extracted so, she stopped grounding the rice bran and nodded before she said, "Let\'s go, I will bring some boar meat and we can cook some meat dishes along with the vegetable ones."
Chen Mi\'s eyes when he heard this immediately lit up, he thought that with so many people here they will have to eat vegetables again but fortunately his wife still had him in her heart and did not want him to suffer.
Of course, that was what Chen Mi thought, the truth was that Yu Dong just wanted to try the oil that she has extracted and cook everything in it lest anyone made a fuss.
She was just about to go out of the house after patting the dust out of her clothes when she saw Lang coming with Fang Chi, they were carrying meat and vegetables in their hands. In fact, it would be right to say, Lang was carrying everything while Fang Chi was only responsible for carrying himself, seeing him come over Yu Dong tilted her head and walked over to where he was before she helped him over the slight bumps on the path and asked, " What are you doing here Chi?"
" I wanted to see whether the oil has been extracted or not," Fang Chi replied as he smiled at Yu Dong and then added, " And it\'s already this late, I was worried that you all won\'t be able to eat a decent meal and thus came over."
