Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

It is necessary to design a special oil press to squeeze soybean oil, and it can only be done slowly later.

Most of the tools for making tofu are ready-made, and I found a carpenter in the town to make a few tofu boxes.

The most tiring work of making tofu is grinding the beans. Put the soaked beans in a stone mill and grind them into pulp.

Now all this tiring work is left to the zombies to do, and it is also very happy, the kind that does not call tired.

With the diligence of these zombies, they can grind thousands of kilograms of beans a day in more than ten mills.

The first time to make tofu, Zhang He only soaked 50 kilograms of dry beans. The ground raw soybean milk was filtered to remove the residue. Then, the raw soybean milk was boiled, mixed with gypsum or brine, mixed well while it was still hot, and let the protein solidify. It has become a white and tender tofu brain.

Zhang Hedian used gypsum to make tofu, and it was very successful the first time. A small bamboo stick was inserted into the bean curd.

He asked Wei Peng to carry out two large buckets of bean curd brains and give them to the guards and all the employees of the Zhang family, each of whom would have a bowl to taste.

At this time, there is no sugar or salt to eat tofu brain, but there is no need to worry about the sweet and salty battle.

The main ingredient of bean curd brain is water. It needs to be put into a specially made tofu box, and some of the water inside can be squeezed dry before it can become tofu.

The dozen or so boxes of soft tofu made on the first day, Zhang He sent people to sell on the streets of Heishui Town.

You can buy it with money, a small piece of five cents, about a catty, or you can exchange a catty of corn or beans for a piece of tofu.

Some tenants who went to the market saw that the price was not too expensive, so they exchanged food directly.

Now that the summer grain harvest is bumper, the price of grain in various places is plummeting, and it has dropped from more than thirty cents to five cents a pound.

In short, even if the tenants have a bumper harvest, they don't want to take too much advantage from it.

Zhang He didn't want to do this, but the overall situation was like this, and behind the scenes, there were various big nobles manipulating prices.

His financial resources alone cannot change the status quo, let alone make grain prices in Heishui Town significantly higher than other places.

More than half of the dozen boxes of tofu were sold in one day, and a hundred kilograms of grain were recovered. In this way, making tofu should have four or five times the profit.

For the remaining tofu, Zhang He asked two employees to cut it into small pieces, dry it first, and then make it into dried tofu, which can be stored for a long time.

There is also a lot of bean curd residue. I sold some of it at the market today, and the rest is also useful.

Zhang He instructed a few employees to simmer the bean curd residue in a pot to dry out some of the water, then form it into a ball the size of a fist, and wait for it to ferment.

The fermented bean curd residue needs to be dried again. The final product is called moldy bean curd residue, which is particularly delicious and has a special fragrance.

In short, the most difficult job of making tofu has been rushing to do it by zombies. The rest of the work is not tiring, the profit is still high, and almost no materials are wasted.

The dried bean curd and moldy tofu dregs made in the future can be sold in Dehua City.

It took Zhang He a while to successfully tinker with a simple oil press.

The job of oil extraction requires some ingenuity. At present, the zombie coolies are unable to do it, which makes Zhang He feel a little regretful.

However, the fried beans also need to be ground before oil extraction, which can be done by zombies.

"My God, it turns out that the beans can really squeeze out oil!"

The old man Zhang was lying on the edge of the big vat full of soybean oil, looking at the slightly cloudy, slightly golden soybean oil, bursts of fragrance spread into the nostrils.

"It smells good!"

Fat Tiger couldn't help but dipped some of it with his hands and put it into his mouth, and the aroma of fried beans spread in his mouth.

The Zhou Dynasty lacked oil crops, and edible oil had always been a luxury item. Old Man Zhang had been a landlord for more than half a year, and he only used a piece of lard to rub it in the pot when cooking.

How has everyone here ever seen such a large tank of oil?

"Son, how much should we sell these oils for a pound?"

Zhang He thought about it for a while. Taking lard as an example, the price of pork in the Great Zhou Dynasty fluctuated between thirty and sixty or seventy.

Buying a pound of pork can't make much oil, especially when you are caught by profiteers. When you buy it back home, you find out that a large piece of pork is all lean meat.

However, despite the high oil content of soybeans, the oil inside is not as easy to squeeze out as he imagined. Only ten pounds of beans can yield one kilogram of oil.

At present, manpower can only do this step, unless a better way can be found in the future.

"Let's sell it for 50 cents a pound."

This price is not particularly cheap, but it is definitely not expensive.

Ten catties of beans cost 50 cents, which is equivalent to not making any money, but he still has eight or nine catties of bean cakes left.

These bean cakes can still be sold at the price of grain. If he accumulates them and sells them after the price of grain rises in winter, the price will definitely exceed five cents.

In this way, he can still make money.

Since then, there have been two more profitable industries in Heishui Town.

Every once in a while, the **** team will send a batch of goods to Dehua City, and hand it over to Wen Sheng to be responsible for the sale.

The sales of dried bean curd can only be regarded as average. After all, there are several tofu workshops in the city, competing with each other, and no one can make too much profit from it.

On the other hand, soybean oil is a new product, and it is also the only one. Once it is launched, it is welcomed by the residents of Dehua City.

Even some ordinary people will occasionally buy a few or two to have a taste. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

After the two major industries of making tofu and pressing soybean oil are established, in addition to making money, they can also provide some additional job opportunities for tenants.

Zhang He wants to build his small piece of land into a paradise for the Zhou Dynasty. Economic development is the first step that must be taken. What kind of paradise is he who can't even eat enough?

Now it can only be regarded as a small step for economic development.

And if you have money, you can support the army and provide force protection for the territory.

Even if Baron Zhiyuan, the city lord of Dehua, has a foundation-building cultivation base, he also needs to search for tenant farmers, earn money to support several armies to maintain daily order, and exchange training resources for himself.

As a minor qi cultivator, Zhang He is even more unable to treat money like dung.

After Zhang He built these two major industries, he acted as a shopkeeper and left it to Old Man Zhang and Wei Peng to take care of them.

He still concentrates on training every day. He has already practiced the two martial arts exercises to the extreme. He just suffers from the lack of more subtle exercises for him to practice, which wastes his great talent.

After this period of training, he felt that he was not far from the fourth level of Qi training.

It's just that the Peiyuan Pill that he bought last time has already been used up, and he plans to buy some more.

Moreover, the production of spiritual spring water in the space is getting less and less, and the concentration of aura is also declining. Now there is an urgent need for a spiritual stone to replenish the spiritual energy in the space.

Zhang He rushed outside Zhaoling City that day, found a place where no one was there, put the horse in the space, and put on a long pink dress for himself.

Putting a human skin mask on his face, he instantly transformed into a charming peach blossom fairy.

Zhang He squeezed a few times on his chest, um, it felt very real.

This time, the amount of transactions needed to go back to Fang City is relatively large, so I can only let the Peach Blossom Fairy come out and take the blame.
