  Chapter 41 Oil pain seeds, Camellia oleifera fruit

Li Yu put away the gift and went back to the foot of the mountain. Seeing that Xiao An was still guarding the charcoal-burning pit, Li Yu saw that he had blocked the smoke exhaust and checked it, "Xiao An, don't watch it here, Let's go pick the oily seeds, and come back for the charcoal early tomorrow morning."

   "Okay," Xiao An carried the basket on her back, "Sister Li, what is oil sickness?"

"A fruit that can be used to wash things, and the seeds in it are still medicinal materials." Li Yu took Xiao An to the forest where the Yousaozi tree grew, and saw that most of the Yousaozi fruits were ripe, and most of the fruits had changed. When it turned brown, Li Yu pointed at the fruit, "Look, these are the oil troubled seeds, Xiao An, you should pick them in the low place, and only pick the yellow and green ones. Don't pick them."

"Yeah!" Xiao An put down the back grate, picked off the yellow oil sickle, and put it in the back. Li Yu hooked the tree with a branch, and the high branches pulled the branches down and drained the ripe oil on it. Suffering child, take it off and put it in the back.

The two picked three or four trees before they filled the two backs, and their hands were covered with the juice of the oily sunflower seed. Li Yu carried the oily sunflower seed back home and spread it out on the drying mat, ready to dry it for storage. Get up and peel it slowly when you have free time later.

In the night, Li Yu looked at the gifts that Zhou Jia sent. There were two coats of squirrel fur, two sets of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, a few boxes of snacks, and a few pieces of muslin cloth, in purple, gray-green, lake blue,... .

  Li Yu sent the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Li Qing's room and placed it by Li Qing's bed. Looking at the empty room, he felt that he should make some furniture and paint the house with lime.

Li Qing wiped her hair and came back, smiled and said to Li Yu: "Sister, what is that thing you gave me a bath today? My hair felt astringent just after washing it, but I still felt it was not easy to use. ."

   Li Yu smiled, "It's the thing in the drying pad, it's better to call you saffron than saponin, right?"

   "Well! Sister, my husband asked me today, do you want to continue studying in order to prepare for the exams to gain fame, or just recognizing Braille and learning how to calculate?"

   "Then how did you answer?"

   "Sister, I want to study for two years to take a test. If I can get a scholar, I will continue to study. If I still can't get a scholar, I will stop reading."

   "Okay, you also have to have confidence in yourself, you have to believe in yourself that you can do it. Also, my sister wants to tell you that you don't have to worry about the money for your studies. There is still money at home for you to study for a few years."

"I know, you made some money selling pickles, but I can't be like those old boys who spent years and years in the exam with my family's hard-earned money. I decided to take the exam twice at most, and I won't study until I pass the exam. , come back and do things with you."

   After hearing this, Li Yu felt that this child was too sensible. He knew how to plan his life at the age of nine. Li Yu patted Li Qing on the shoulder, "Okay, my sister supports you, A Qing, I believe you can do it."

   "Yeah." Li Qing responded solemnly, watching Li Yu stepped forward and pulled Li Yu's hand and called out, "Sister," Li Yu nodded with a smile, and the sister and brother laughed.

In the next few days, Li Yu plans to burn the charcoal well, and when the exhaust port is blocked and the charcoal is simmered, he will go to pick the oil seeds and go home to dry them. After picking the oil seeds, he will start fertilizing the rapeseeds. Li Yu looks like a small The bees are as busy as the bees, and they are busy until the frost season.

   At night, lying on the bed, Li Yu suddenly remembered that the camellia oleifera fruit in the mountains could be picked, and he was worried about whether there was an oil mill here.

  Li Yu put on his clothes and trousers and came out to see that the oil lamp in Li Qing's room was still on. He knocked on the door. Li Qing opened the door and smiled and said to Li Yu, "Sister, why haven't you slept yet?"

   "You didn't sleep either? Sister wanted to ask, have you heard of an oil mill?"

   "There is one in Qingshan City! There is one at the foot of the mountain where I used to chop wood," Li Qing said with a smile, "Sister, the rapeseed isn't ripe yet!"

   "I found a camellia tree in the mountains. It should be ripe now. I'll pick it up tomorrow to squeeze the oil. The oil mill is so far away, so I'll pick it up and go home. You go to bed early."

  Li Qing nodded, watching Li Yu return to his room, and went back to study hard.

  Li Yu went back to the house thinking about picking the camellia oleifera fruit first, and simply asking a mason to get a mortar to squeeze it by himself, yes, just do it.

Li Yu took a pen and drew a stone pestle and a mortar socket, but they were much larger than ordinary stone pestles and mortar sockets. He thought about digging a hole at the bottom of the mortar socket, baking a bamboo tube and connecting it to the hole, and waiting for the oil to be squeezed out. It can flow out from the bottom along the bamboo pipe.

Early the next morning, Li Yu drove the bullock cart to the stone mason Chen's house in the east of the village, and handed the blueprint to the mason Chen, "Uncle Chen, I want to make something like this for oil extraction. Do you think it can be done? it's OK?"

Mason Chen looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, I have seen how they squeeze oil. Your stone mortar and stone pestle can be made to look like stepping on a stone. Instead of a stone pestle, use one slightly smaller than the mortar. A bit of hard wood, like a cork, is squeezed into the socket to squeeze the oil out, and then three stone pillars are placed at the bottom of the socket, and the oil flows out of the bamboo tube.”

  Li Yu asked worriedly, "Will the pipe be firm?"

  Chen Mason smiled confidently, "Don't worry about this, even if I stick it with fish glue, you won't be able to break it off."

  Li Yu was relieved, "Okay, please help me do it as soon as possible. I'm eager to get it."

   "Xiaoyu, this thing is a bit expensive, I'll charge you at least one or two to five coins."

"Okay, Uncle Chen." Li Yu paid the money, and went home happily and took two strings of money and handed it to the Qian family, "Aunt Qian, you will let Xiao An drive the car to buy two limes, I will be useful. "

   "Okay." Mrs Qian accepted the money with a smile.

  Li Yu went to the Camellia oleifera forest with a sack and a bamboo basket, and watched the mature Camellia oleifera trees get busy.

  Li Qing went to the school early in the morning, and when he saw Jixiang, he asked, "Brother Jixiang, do you know where there is an oil extraction workshop nearby?"

   "Oil extraction workshop? What are you looking for an oil extraction workshop for? If your sister wants to buy oil, my grocery store will have it!"

  Li Qing told Jixiang about Li Yu's trip to pick camellia fruit, Jixiang said, "What does the camellia tree look like?"

  Li Qing shook his head, "I don't know, my sister should have been taught by my mother."

   Jixiang smiled and looked at Li Qing, "Oh! Go to class first! I'll ask you later."

   "Thank you, Brother Jixiang."

   Jixiang found Zhou Jia and told him about Li Yu's search for an oil extraction workshop, "Master, what is a camellia tree, is it a tea tree that has grown oil?"

   For some reason, Zhou Jia remembered Li Yu's disgust with herself, "Go and get Qi Min Yaoshu for me, you can go up the mountain to look for it, and if you can find Miss Li, go and help me."

   "Okay." Jixiang went to Qimin to ask for the technique and gave it to Zhou Jia, then turned around and went out to the mountains.

   Thinking of Zhou Jia's expression, Jixiang thought as he walked: Young master is not interested in Miss Li! Otherwise, such a big mountain will let me go to the mountain to find it.

  Li Yu was busy picking camellia oleifera fruit in the mountains, picking a bag full and putting it in the space. He was so busy when he heard a 'huchi' huchi behind him, Li Yu said in his heart: No, there are wild boars.

   turned his head and saw a wild boar with long tusks rushing towards him.

Li Yu took a few steps back and hid behind the tea trees. He took out a long knife from the space. As soon as he took out the knife, he saw that the two tea trees were washed down by the wild boar. Li Yu jumped up and stepped on the back of the wild boar. , jumped to the side of the wild boar, raised the knife and slashed **** the back of the wild boar, blood spurted out and spread all over the ground.

   The wild boar howled and rushed towards the forest. Li Yu chased after him and slashed the back of the wild boar. The wild boar fell to the ground with a howl, whimpering and twitching a few times, then stopped moving.

  Li Yu touched the wild boar, put the wild boar into the space, and dug some soil to cover the pig's blood, so that the smell of blood would not attract wild beasts.

   After the blood was covered, he sat and rested for a while, ate something, and continued to pick up the tea fruit.
