Be the Mayor From Today

A few minutes later, Liu Feng and the others came to the place where white sugar was made.

"Sir." The person in charge of the development of white sugar hurriedly greeted her. It was an elder sister with a kind smile on her face.

"Take me to see the white sugar you produce." Liu Feng said with a small smile.

"Okay." The person in charge nodded, brought Liu Feng and others to the room in the factory building, took out a burlap bag, opened it, and put it on the table beside it.

Liu Feng reached out and grabbed a little white sugar from the burlap bag. It wasn't so much white sugar as it was a sugar cube.

......

"It seems that the filtering step needs further optimization." Liu Feng said to the eldest sister.

"I'm already trying to find a way to improve it." The person in charge respectfully said that the white granulated sugar produced is indeed a little yellower than the white granulated sugar Liu Feng took as a sample.

"Well, the taste is sweet enough." Liu Feng broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth, very satisfied.

"I'll try." Enri asked curiously.

Liu Feng broke off a piece and stuffed it into An Li's mouth, and accidentally ran his finger across the red lips of Mother Fox Er.

An Li blushed slightly and said happily, "It's really sweet, it can be used to make lollipops."

"Give me a little." Mina's mouth pouted slightly, and her blue eyes looked at Liu Feng with a smile.

"Okay, Mina will try it too." Liu Feng smiled and broke off a piece of candy and stuffed it into Mina's mouth in the same way.

The sugar in Mina's mouth was melting, which made her feel very happy, "It's very sweet."

"It can be put into production. The darker color has no effect. It can be replaced after the filtering process is optimized."

Liu Feng turned to the person in charge and said, "I'll have someone send over the sugar cane and sugar beets."

Now the sugar cane and sugar beet are still in the field and need to be harvested and shipped.

"Yes." The person in charge nodded and replied.

"One update, (￣▽￣). Please support."

Chapter 833 Qingbi corner.

After inspecting the white sugar workshop, Liu Feng took Mina and An Li to inspect other workshops.

First I went to the canning workshop, then I went to the brewery and the instant noodle workshop, and now I just finished visiting the linen workshop.

"Master, was the oil extraction you mentioned last time also in this workshop area?"

Enri was extremely curious about oil. There was so much delicious food in the castle, and it was inextricably linked to oil.

In this world, the source of oil can only be obtained from wild boars, and the quantity is very small. Only nobles can afford oil. The price of oil is also very expensive, several times more expensive than salt.

Nobles used oil to make some snacks, not to stir-fry. In this era, stir-fry was not invented yet, and most people used cooking. .

The oil Liu Feng mentioned is peanut oil, which is squeezed from peanuts and is currently the main oil used.

Of course, there is also a kind of vegetable dried fruit oil, which is a product of this era, but the quantity is relatively small, and Liu Feng used "Nine Five Three" to make marriage grease...

And like Zuixiaolou and various gourmet restaurants, peanut oil is now used, but it is not sold to the public for the time being due to the quantity.

And peanuts leave a lot of seeds when planting vegetables in greenhouses, and when they open up wasteland, they are planted together with potatoes.

"Since you're here, let's go take a look." Liu Feng said softly.

"Okay." An Li replied happily, and followed Liu Feng to the depths of the workshop.

Before coming to the oil extraction workshop, there were eight soldiers guarding the door, in order to prevent unrelated people from breaking in. After all, Liu Feng did not intend to let others know about oil.

In the future, this peanut oil will also be an indispensable thing for ordinary people in daily life. It can be said that it is on the same level as salt. After all, diesel, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

"Sir." When the eight soldiers saw Liu Feng's arrival, they hurriedly saluted.

Liu Feng nodded and led Mina and Anli to the workshop.

"Boom..."

"Buzzing..."

Before entering the door, the sound of the steam engine was heard. In the workshop, there were three presses at work driven by the steam engine.

The press was a blueprint given by Liu Feng, and it was built by the scientific research department.

Pressing peanut oil is to separate the oil directly from the raw material by physical pressure, without any chemical additives in the whole process.

Before the advent of steam engines, peanut oil was squeezed manually, which is the most primitive way of squeezing peanut oil, and the amount of oil produced was enough for several shops.

Now with the advent of steam engines, the amount of peanut oil has increased, but now it is limited by the raw material of peanuts.

"Buzzing..."

After Liu Feng and the three entered the workshop, they frowned at the noise, and then they looked around carefully.

"Wow, there are a lot of people peeling peanut shells." En Li looked at a group of people peeling peanut shells in surprise.

She knew about peanuts. When the first batch of peanuts was harvested, Liu Feng took some of them to the castle and let Nicole fry them into salty peanuts, which can be eaten as snacks.

"Let's go, go ahead and take a look." Liu Feng walked towards the interior of the workshop.

"Boom..."

The further you go inside, the louder the steam engine gets.

Liu Feng took Mina and An Li to refer to the stir-frying process. Before the peanuts are pressed, some water must be removed, and they must be stir-fried until they are 6 to 8 mature before pressing the oil.

"It's really fragrant." En Li was holding the fried peanuts in her hand, and was stuffing it into her mouth.

"It's quite fragrant, but it doesn't have any salty taste." Mina also commented, which is less salty than Nicole's stir-fried peanuts.

"..." Liu Feng rolled his eyes and led the two of them into the pressing workshop.

The stir-fried peanuts are sent to the pressing workshop, and then poured into the funnel-shaped feeding port, and then pressed to squeeze out the peanut oil, followed by filtration and precipitation, and the production of peanut oil is completed.

"Hey, that's how the oil came from." En Li exclaimed, turning around the press twice, with little stars in her eyes.

Mina had already met Liu Feng, and was surprised when she first learned that oil can also be obtained from peanuts.

It is hard to imagine that oil can be obtained by relying on these tiny peanuts, which also makes Mina know that oil can be obtained not only from animals, but also from plants.
