Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 377 Peanut Oil (two more)

"Well, it smells so good in here."

"Yeah, it smells good. It smells like peanut oil."

"I know that there is a peanut oil press in front of me. However, it is at least two or three hundred meters away from here. Can the fragrance float so far? In the past, peanut oil was pressed there every day, and we never smelled the fragrance. Why is there a smell of peanuts today? The scent drifted over." Someone said suspiciously.

"That's what you said," said the neighbor next door. "We squeeze peanut oil every day, and we can't smell the fragrance here at all. Why is it so fragrant today?"

...

In Xing'an Town, on the side of the road leading to the county seat, there is a rice milling shop and an oil pressing shop.

The oil mill that is now being talked about is here.

This oil press shop is very lively today.

Although it is usually very lively, after all, it is the peanut harvest season. Many villagers wait for the peanuts to dry before picking them up to squeeze oil.

Peanut oil is expensive.

Ten yuan a pound.

Many villagers are reluctant to eat the peanut oil squeezed out, so they want to sell it for some money.

Of course, for those with better family conditions, the peanut oil squeezed out is kept for their own consumption, or given to others.

At this time, peanut oil is the best gift, especially for those who have just given birth to a child and have confinement.

There are long queues waiting for oil extraction here every day.

Today Henry Zhang brought people over a thousand catties of peanuts and came here to squeeze oil.

After all, there is no oil press at home.

Fourth Uncle Xiao knew the owner of the oil press and said hello early on.

So, instead of queuing, pick peanuts and squeeze oil directly.

When the oil press owner saw the peanuts, his eyes lit up.

"This is the plumpest peanut I've ever seen without a single bad peanut. According to the quality of your peanuts, the peanut oil squeezed out must be very good."

Boss Zhang of the oil press shop asked with a smile, "Boss, do you sell the peanut oil you squeeze out later? If you can sell it, I want to buy a few kilograms of your peanut oil."

His family has a daughter-in-law who is confinement, and just gave him a big fat grandson a few days ago.

Naturally, they treat their daughters-in-law who have meritorious service better.

"..." Xiao Zhengyang said with a smile, "Boss Zhang, my family's peanut oil will be sold, but not cheap."

Boss Zhang frowned slightly, "Not cheap? How much do you want to sell?"

In his heart, it is not surprising that the quality of this peanut oil is good and the price is higher.

Now the market price of peanut oil is ten yuan per catty, so his family's peanut oil is estimated to be one or two more expensive, and sells for eleven or twelve yuan per catty.

However, when he squeezed out the peanut oil, he was stunned.

He has squeezed peanut oil for more than ten years, and today is the first time that he has squeezed such fragrant peanut oil.

This made him even more determined to buy a few pounds back.

Such fragrant peanut oil, even if it is not used by the eldest daughter-in-law to stir-fry, the dish must be unusually fragrant.

However, he never imagined that the more expensive peanut oil he estimated would be so expensive.

That's not one or two dollars more expensive, but several times more expensive.

Fifty dollars a pound.

Fifty yuan per pound of peanut oil, such a sky-high price of peanut oil, is simply going to be robbed.

The people around rounded their eyes and looked at Henry Zhang who reported the oil price in disbelief.

"Oh my God, is this oil too expensive? Fifty yuan per catty, you have never seen the money, are you planning to rob it?"

"That's right. It's too expensive. Obviously, the current peanut oil price is ten yuan per catty. Even if their peanut oil is of good quality, it's more expensive to sell, and it's justified by one or two dollars more. But , he is a few dozen more expensive."

...

The people around were talking about how expensive the oil price given by Henry Zhang was.

Of course, the people who came around also smelled this fragrance, and they were moved, wanting to buy a few pounds to eat.

But I didn't expect that the oil was too expensive.

This made them dissatisfied.

"Fifty yuan a pound, this is money grabbing."

"Yeah, grab the money. Originally, I smelled his oil and planned to sell a few kilograms. However, it seems that we can't afford it at all."

"I originally planned to buy a few kilograms, but fifty yuan a kilogram is too expensive. I can't afford it."

...

Everyone is saying that the oil price is too expensive. Some people scold Xiao Zhengyang for not seeing the money.

Henry Zhang turned a blind eye to the opinions of those around him, he smiled and said,

"I'm sorry, everyone, my family's things have always been very expensive. We have to leave beforehand."

When Henry Zhang settled the bill with Boss Zhang and was about to leave, Boss Zhang was really moved by these fragrant peanut oils, and as soon as he gritted his teeth and was cruel, he sold two catties of peanut oil for 100 yuan.

For the sake of Boss Zhang's friendship with his fourth brother, Henry Zhang also gave him half a catty of oil.

When everyone looked at the daring backs of Xiao Zhengyang and others, some people remembered.

He suddenly asked Boss Zhang, "Boss Zhang, were those people from Taoyuan Village just now?"

Boss Zhang nodded and said, "Yes. They are from Taoyuan Village. What's wrong?"

"I remember." The man said excitedly, "A college student came out of the Taoyuan Village family. This college student has returned to farming half a year ago.

Some time ago, the strawberries she planted were very good. From the beginning, it sold for 45 yuan, 60 yuan per catty, and later 230 yuan per catty. In short, the more it sold, the more expensive it became. "

"Hey, no, what do you mean by that?" Someone next to him asked suspiciously, "What does this strawberry seller have to do with the group of people just now?"

"It's related, it's a big relationship," the man said. "If I didn't guess, that person just now was the father of the college student who went home to farm."

"Huh?" Someone looked puzzled.

He continued, "The man said just now that the things in his house have always been very expensive.

I heard that the people who grow strawberries not only sell very expensive strawberries, but even the ordinary vegetables we usually eat are several times more expensive than those in the market.

Let's just say this cabbage. We usually buy 20 cents a pound in the town, and 30 cents a pound in the county vegetable market, but do you know how much a pound of Chinese cabbage sells in his family? "

"How much?" This seemed to arouse the interest of many people.

"Two yuan," he said. "This Chinese cabbage is still the cheapest dish in their house."

"what?"

It's amazing.

"So, he said that the peanut oil of fifty yuan a pound should be the price of his oil."

The man said here, and suddenly said,

"No, his oil is too fragrant. Even if it's expensive now, I'll buy it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that fifty dollars won't be able to buy his oil at all."

After that, he ran in the direction that Xiao Zhengyang left.

Everyone was curious about what this person said about the family, but it was really reluctant to let them spend 50 yuan to buy oil.

Peanut oil, what kind of peanut oil is not peanut oil, can you still eat flowers?

Oh, I can really eat flowers.

The people who came around were all neighbors on this street, including this Boss Zhang and that Sheng Dali who ran away to buy oil.

When they use the peanut oil they bought from Henry Zhang to stir-fry, the smell can be said to be fragrant for ten miles, causing the surrounding neighbors to wrinkle their noses from time to time and stick their heads out from time to time, trying to figure out what it smells like fragrant.

No wonder they are so caring, the taste is so slanderous.

Someone followed the scent and found that it was from Sheng Dali, and suddenly asked in confusion, "Dali, what kind of food does your family cook, why is it so fragrant?"

Sheng Dali was holding a chopstick of cabbage into his mouth. After hearing the person's words, he looked at the three dishes on the table, one stir-fried cabbage, one roasted eggplant, and one beef stir-fried green pepper.

He said suspiciously, "I didn't cook anything? Just these three dishes."

The visitor looked at the three dishes on his table, frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously,

"Just these three dishes, Sheng Dali, don't you see me coming, so you can hide that delicious dish somewhere?"

Sheng Dali's wife smiled and said, "Look at what you said, are we such stingy people? Also, our family really only cooks these three dishes, how can there be any delicious dishes?"

"That's not right. I obviously found your home based on the smell." The visitor said with doubts, "If your family only cooked these three dishes, the smell would not be able to travel ten miles, even someone so far away from me. You can smell it."

Sheng Dali was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he came to his senses, patted the back of his head with his hand, and said,

"Oh, I see. Today my family's dishes use purchased peanut oil, so the dishes are fragrant."

"Peanut oil?" The man's face was full of disbelief, "Whose peanut oil makes dishes so delicious?"

"Go and get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and give you Uncle Li a taste of these dishes." Sheng Dali instructed his youngest son.

After Doudou took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, Sheng Dali said with a smile, "You can eat and see."

When Li San took a piece of beef with chopsticks and ate it into his mouth, his eyes widened as he stared.

He said incredulously, "This...this..."

Sheng Dali smiled proudly and said, "Well, it's so fragrant."
