Rebirth 78 was replaced by a husband, the cold educated youth pulled the curtains every day
Chapter 40 The ugly capitalist
Inside the rental house.
Lu Ye fried the sesame seeds in the pot with a spatula.
"Remember, the fire below must be controlled. It can't be too big, otherwise the sesame seeds will easily burn. Got it?"
Li Mingzhu stood aside, her hands on her knees, carefully watching the changes in the sesame seeds in the pot.
"Yeah, I remember."
Lu Ye turned off the heat and poured out the sesame seeds that had just been fried in the pot.
Then I added a pot of freshly soaked sesame seeds.
"You cook this pot, don't be impatient, give it a try."
"Ah."
Li Mingzhu took the spatula, carefully controlled the fire, and started stir-frying with a spatula.
As the water vapor gradually evaporates, the sesame seeds in the pot gradually emit a fragrance, and the color gradually changes from the original white to yellow.
Lu Ye watched Li Mingzhu operate from the side, and he had to say that this girl learned very quickly.
I did it well the first time I tried it.
A few minutes later, another pot of golden fried sesame seeds came out of the wok. Li Mingzhu looked at Lu Ye and asked, "How did I do?"
"Good, that's it."
Li Mingzhu smiled proudly, "Don't underestimate me. I've been cooking since I was 7 years old. This is child's play."
"I just praised you and you're already panting."
"Come here, I'll teach you the second step." Lu Ye had a wicked smile on his face.
"it is good."
Coming to the stone mill, Lu Ye poured a spoonful of roasted sesame seeds into the mill mouth.
"Use this to grind all the sesame seeds into powder, come on."
Li Mingzhu sat on a small stool, holding the wooden handle with both hands and turning the millstone hard.
The heavy millstone made her very tired.
After turning it over for more than ten times, no sesame powder came out.
"Is this mill broken? Why isn't it producing flour?"
Lu Ye sat aside and looked at Li Mingzhu and couldn't help but smile: "If you don't add sesame seeds, it won't produce flour even if you turn it a hundred times."
"What?"
Li Mingzhu had never used a stone mill before, and due to her lack of experience, she thought that the one spoonful Lu Ye added was enough.
Little did people know that this stone mill needed to be constantly fed with materials.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Li Mingzhu said with a slightly complaining tone.
"I thought you knew everything."
Lu Ye had just discovered it, but he kept silent, just to dampen her enthusiasm.
When frying sesame seeds, you start to get crazy. How can you do that without tapping them?
Li Mingzhu curled her lips, she understood that Lu Ye did it on purpose.
"You have a strong sense of revenge."
"Stop talking nonsense and grind it quickly. Once you're done, we'll have to move on to the next step." Lu Ye didn't care about the look in Li Mingzhu's eyes and just urged her to hurry up.
Li Mingzhu learned from her initial lesson and continued to add sesame seeds while turning the stone mill.
Soon, the freshly ground sesame powder was pushed out from the gaps in the millstone.
Lu Ye collected the sesame powder into an enamel basin, waiting to extract the oil.
I originally thought that it was just grinding sesame seeds into powder, which was not difficult. However, it took Li Mingzhu more than an hour to grind ten kilograms of sesame seeds.
By the end, her arms were so swollen and so sore that she couldn't lift them, and her whole body was covered in sweat.
"Oh, I can't do it anymore."
For a girl, that stone mill weighing dozens of kilograms is indeed not light.
"It's fine. Remember, the finer the sesame powder is ground, the more oil it will produce, and the more money you can make."
Seeing Li Mingzhu lying on the kang like a dead dog, Lu Ye kicked Li Mingzhu's exposed feet.
"Get up, don't even think about being lazy."
Li Mingzhu, lying on the kang, was too tired to move: "I beg you, let me rest for a while, just for a while."
"No, hurry up and get up. There is still the most crucial step. Watch carefully for me."
Lu Ye grabbed Li Mingzhu's ankles and pulled her off the kang.
"You are so inhumane."
Li Mingzhu was grabbed by Lu Ye's neck, feeling aggrieved.
"Stop talking nonsense. I don't keep idle people in this house. If you want to live here forever, you have to work hard for me and don't be lazy."
At this time, Lu Ye was like a capitalist exploiting a homeless little sheep.
After boiling a large pot of hot water, Lu Ye taught Li Mingzhu step by step how to extract sesame oil using the water belt method.
"Remember, the ratio of sesame powder to hot water is about 1:0.8. The water should not be too much or too little. Too much water will make the sesame paste too thin, and too little will make the oil uncompressed."
"1:0.8? I remember that."
Li Mingzhu also knew that this step was the most critical and nodded seriously.
Watch Lu Ye's operation carefully.
The spoon was moved over and over again on the sesame paste, and soon a layer of sesame oil floated on top.
Lu Ye slowly skimmed off the sesame oil and put it into the bottle.
"There are still sesame paste impurities in the freshly fried sesame oil. It needs to settle for a while and then be re-bottled before it can be delivered for sale."
"Yeah, I remember."
"Now you do it." Lu Ye handed the hand spoon to Li Mingzhu again.
In comparison, the last step was relatively easy. Li Mingzhu imitated Lu Ye's method, weighing it one by one and then collecting the fried sesame oil.
It almost perfectly replicated Lu Ye's movements.
Lu Ye had to admit that Li Mingzhu was quite talented in this role.
"Well done. From now on, you have to make at least 10 kilograms of sesame seeds every day."
Li Mingzhu raised her head and looked at Lu Ye innocently: "How much money are you going to give me?"
"For every bottle you make, whether it's sesame paste or sesame oil, I'll give you a penny."
Li Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "Only one cent?"
"Think it's too much? Then two bottles for one cent will do." Lu Ye said.
Hearing that Lu Ye was actually lowering the price, Li Mingzhu quickly put away her displeasure and said with a smile: "No, I don't mind, really, I don't mind at all."
Lu Ye: Little guy, I can’t control you anymore!
"Today's doesn't count."
"what?"
"do you have any opinion?"
"No, not at all. You are the boss, and whatever you say goes."
People have to bow their heads under the roof.
Li Mingzhu learned much better this time.
Lu Ye sat cross-legged on the kang. With Li Mingzhu in charge of the processing, his sesame oil sales network was basically complete. Apart from regularly going to Wang Min to get empty bottles, he could basically let go of everything else.
However, accordingly, the profits that finally fell into his hands were once again reduced.
Fortunately, every ten kilograms of sesame seeds can eventually be exchanged for food coupons with a face value of about 90 kilograms, which is also a considerable income.
"It's noon now. Are you hungry? I'll give you something to eat." Li Mingzhu squatted on a small stool, playing with sesame paste in her hand, and looked sideways at Lu Ye on the kang.
Although instant noodles are not very nutritious, they are the most common food here.
The main feature is convenience and speed.
Lu Ye had been busy all morning and was a little hungry now.
"Don't be lazy, make the sesame paste first, and then cook the noodles."
Li Mingzhu: Ugly capitalist!
Lu Ye became a hands-off boss, enjoying this rare leisure time.
Li Mingzhu packed the prepared sesame paste and sesame oil separately, went to the kitchen, and cooked a pot of clear soup noodles.
