This was because cooking oil could easily deteriorate under the effects of light, heat, and air.
Especially in a high-temperature environment, it would accelerate the oxidation speed of oil, causing it to go bad and sour.
“Oh my…” Qian Caiyu put her hands together and faced the sky. “I think we put it by the window. The sun shone in every day, and it was hot for those days…”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Xue Darong and the others all nodded.
Xue Yan looked at Jiang Yue, his eyes clearly trying to say that there were many more problems than this.
Jiang Yue agreed.
“After the oil is squeezed out, we must cover it for it to keep cold. Otherwise, it will also become sour.” Jiang Yue said.
This was because if the lid was covered when the oil was being heated, it would be difficult for the heat to spread out. The oil would be in a hot environment for a long time, and the oil would naturally go bad.
Xue Darong and the other three nodded vigorously. “That’s right, that’s right. When we were done squeezing and filtering it, we didn’t care if it was hot or cold. We just covered it with the lid and put it aside.”
“That’s about it,” Jiang Yue said. “I don’t know what else.”
“Why don’t you show us how it’s done?” The four of them were still looking at her, placing all their hopes of saving their oil mill on her.
“How about this?” Jiang Yue said. “I’ll teach you how to complete the process once.”
It was faster and more direct this way.
After all, they had all been squeezed dry in the past by the oil mill people. If there was anything different about her from them, they would immediately find out.
“That’s good, that’s good.” The four of them were especially happy. “Then when are you going to do it?”
“When do you guys want to extort money?” Jiang Yue asked.
“Of course, the faster the better!” The four of them replied in unison.
Jiang Yue nodded.”Then hurry and clean up. Once you’re done, we’ll start.” Now that the oil mill was full of dust, clearly, they had to clean it up first.
“Alright, alright, alright.” Xue Darong and the others began to clean up.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also helped to pack up.
Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao also followed behind them to help.
“Father, you guys pack up first. I’ll go talk to the village chief and ask everyone to send the seeds to us instead. Don’t sell them to the town.” Suddenly, Xua Yan put down the broom and strode away.
Jiang Yue and Xue Xiao’s eyes met again. Although Xua Yan was a little self-confident, he did have some brains and courage in this aspect.
However, it was still too rash.
The oil hadn’t been extracted yet, and by the time it was done, it would probably be nighttime. No one saw the oil, and no one would believe his words and be willing to risk sending the rapeseed here.
“Let’s go back.” Jiang Yue said to Xue Yan in a low voice.
Xue Dafu and the others did not know about this before because they hadn’t seen her cousin’s oil mill. Now that she had seen it, she knew that the equipment was complete, and she was sure that it would produce good oil, she had to go back and stop them from selling the seeds.
Xue Yan understood and nodded. Then, he said to his uncle, “Uncle, I’ll go back with Jiang Yue. We should tell our family to stop selling the seeds and send them to you.”
“Alright, alright, alright.” Xue Darong couldn’t contain his joy.
When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned home, they found that Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu had already picked out the bags of rapeseed at the village entrance and were waiting for the townspeople to collect them. They had no choice but to go to the village entrance.
Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu weren’t the only ones waiting at the village entrance. Other than Xua Yan’s family, the other families were also waiting with their seeds.
