Chapter 284 A good cook cannot cook without rice
"Oh my god, Aunt Qin and Ah He are gone!" Finally, the father and daughter had time to talk.
"Gone? When did it happen?" Su Bucheng was surprised. "Who dared to touch them?"
"That man from the Feng family, Nangou Village is a gathering place for criminals and fugitives, how could there be any good people there?
In an attempt to save Ah He, Second Aunt Qin was thrown away by Feng, and suffered a miscarriage and died of heavy bleeding. Ah He could not bear the humiliation, so he set fire to Feng's house and burned himself in the fire!
Su Ying didn't want to mention Su He's defilement over and over again.
"Those bastards!" Su Bucheng clenched his fists tightly in anger.
Human nature has good and evil. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." I never expected Nangou Village to be so filthy.
These two mothers were not good people, but it is really sad to see them end up like this.
"Does your second uncle know?" Su Bucheng asked after calming down.
"My second uncle knew that he was the one who brought the body back and buried it in the cemetery outside the village. He hasn't told Shi Yan and the others yet, and he hasn't sent any letter to Xingyang either." Su Ying said.
"Save, this is what your grandmother meant, right?" Su Bucheng guessed after a little thought.
"Yes! Now that several of my cousins have just found their homes, grandma doesn't want to be affected by this and lose the opportunity, so she can only keep it a secret for now.
Besides, Second Aunt is pregnant, and we're worried that someone innocent might get hurt," Su Ying said cryptically.
Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan are adult men with their own opinions. After their biological mother and sister died tragically, who knows if they will vent their anger on their stepmother?
Therefore, my second uncle, grandmother, and myself all chose to keep it secret.
"Is your second aunt pregnant?" Su Bucheng looked at his daughter with a happy expression.
"Yes, Second Uncle is very happy!" Su Ying said with a smile.
"Great, our Su family is going to have another addition!" Su Bucheng said happily.
"My two cousins Shi Yan and Chen Yan are working in Tong County and won't go back easily. Zhao Yan will be away studying for at least half a year. When he comes back, my second aunt will be almost due to give birth. I just hope everything will be fine by then!" Su Ying prayed.
"Don't worry, Daye will come home when the time comes, and he will take care of anything!" Su Bucheng comforted his daughter.
"Now it's just you and your second uncle supporting the family. Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's okay. A man should have ambitions. My brothers are getting older and it's time for them to go out and gain experience. We have the help of the villagers at home, so you don't have to worry, father." Su Ying smiled.
"Aying, let's go!" County Magistrate Hu called out from the carriage.
The farm tools, plows, and oxen arranged by the provincial government are ready to go, with exactly fifty ox carts.
After delivering it, there is no need to return. After unloading the car, it can be used as an ox to plow the fields.
When they came, they rode in a carriage, and when they left, they were followed by a long convoy.
It was already late at night when we arrived in Tongxian.
"But Lord Hu from Wu County and Miss Su?" someone asked loudly at the city gate.
"That's right!" replied Magistrate Hu.
The city gate was opened, and the people arranged by County Magistrate Lin were guarding it and leading a group of people to the county government office.
"The master is here!" County Magistrate Lin received the message and came out to greet him.
"Chongzhi hasn't rested yet?"
"How can I sleep if I have no idea what to do?" Lin Chongzhi looked at the long oxcart team with envy.
Look at Wu County, it is rich and powerful, and the state government is willing to help when there is trouble.
Unlike Tong County, which is leaky everywhere, there is no money and no people!
"Chongzhi, don't be envious. You have seen the Wu County in the past. Take your time, and it will be realized soon!" County Magistrate Hu comforted his old friend.
If it weren't for the resettlement of disaster victims, the state government wouldn't be so generous. Moreover, all these were included in the tax grain of Wu County, so they didn't get any advantage.
"I saved it, saved it!" Lin Chongzhi smiled and pulled his old friend back to the house behind the county government office.
"I won't stay overnight. There's too much to do! I'll leave Ah Ying here with me. When you're done with your work here, please send her back to me!" County Magistrate Hu instructed his old friend.
"How can you travel so late at night? Why not set off at dawn?" Lin Chongzhi tried to persuade her.
"No, it would be more peaceful if I could go back soon! Haha!" County Magistrate Hu approached County Magistrate Lin and whispered.
"Aying has a good thing in her hands called cement. It's better than the mortar road in Huanggou Village. If Chongzhi wants to develop quickly, build the road as soon as possible!"
"Sir, is it true?" Lin Chong became anxious when he heard it.
Wuxian is about to take off, and I haven’t even started yet, how can I catch up?
"Don't rush. Talk it over with Ah Ying and get the provincial government and the Fu family to join in. We have the money and the power, so why worry about not being able to make it happen?"
County Magistrate Hu shared all the experience he had gained.
"Thank you very much, sir, thank you very much!" Lin Chongzhi was grateful and tears fell.
In the past, he assisted Magistrate Hu and checked for omissions and shortcomings from an outsider's perspective.
Now that I am in charge of a county, I consider the overall situation and the whole situation from a different perspective, and I deeply understand the original mood of County Magistrate Hu.
This poor county has nothing and wants to grab everything, but can't grab anything. It is really like a good cook without rice, but unable to cook.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" County Magistrate Hu said goodbye.
"Sir, take care!" Lin Chongzhi's eyes were red and his nose was sore.
Ambitions are not so easy to achieve. After only half a year, I felt exhausted. Fortunately, I had a good friend to confide in.
The next day, when Su Ying woke up, County Magistrate Lin and a group of officials were waiting for her.
"Su, Aying, have you had a good rest?" County Magistrate Lin asked enthusiastically.
"Well, sir, it's so early!" Su Ying looked at everyone's eager eyes and didn't hesitate any longer. "Have you prepared all the necessary tools?"
"Ready! Ready!" everyone said in unison.
When they arrived at the oil press, they had two bags of soybeans ready and had selected them. Several burly men working in the oil presses looked at Su Ying curiously.
Most of them use sesame to extract oil. Last year, they learned how to extract oil from camellia oil fruit. I never thought that soybeans can also be used to extract oil!
This perception was normal at the time, because beans have a low oil content, so crops with a high oil content must be chosen for oil extraction.
There are records of bean oil extraction in ancient books, but not many people know about it. In addition, the oil yield is small, so few people use it to extract oil.
"The steps for soybean oil extraction and tea fruit oil extraction are roughly the same, but there are also differences. First, the cleaned soybeans are crushed and the shells are removed..."
Su Ying ordered the strong men to take action.
The general process is to select the raw materials, crush and shell them, pre-fry and heat them to soften them, and press the soybeans into thin slices.
Steaming in the steamer allows the moisture inside the raw materials to evaporate and the protein to denature.
It is packed in a bamboo hoop covered with straw and then put into a press for pressing.
The oil flows to the oil storage area for sedimentation and filtration to remove impurities in the oil and make the oil clear.
Add salt for hydration treatment, absorb water and precipitate in the oil, further remove impurities and residues in the oil, and improve the purity of the oil.
Finally, steam is used to deodorize the oil to remove any unpleasant odors and bad smells, making the oil taste purer.
"Remember to let the raw materials air dry after steaming, and then fill them into the bamboo hoop when they are still touchable by hand," Su Ying emphasized.
“When pressing oil, the temperature must not be too high! Otherwise, too much nutrients in the bean cake will be lost, affecting the subsequent production of soy products.
The oil yield should be controlled at 10 kilograms of oil per 100 kilograms of beans. Leave some nutrients and fat in the bean cake, otherwise the bean product will taste bad!
Soybean oil pressing is divided into hot pressing and cold pressing. The process is the same, the main difference is the temperature, cold pressing is below 60 degrees.
Hot pressing produces high oil yields, which can cause excessive loss of soybean nutrients.
Cold pressing has a low oil yield and can retain most nutrients.
If you want to use bean cake to make soy products, you can only use cold pressing.
