Chapter 110 Coconut Oil
"Madam, what should we do after we pry it out?"
"Cut them into small pieces, bring them back, grind them into coconut milk with a stone mill and add water."
As soon as Su Weixi entered Su Ma's yard, she saw coconuts all over the ground. Some had been opened to take out the coconut milk and coconut meat, while others had not been opened yet.
"Mom, why did you buy so many coconuts? What are you going to do with them?"
"Xixi is here. Today, the farm sent several bags of coconuts. I'm tired of eating them lately, so I thought of getting some coconut oil."
"Coconut oil, that's a good thing. I forgot that coconut can be used to make coconut oil."
After all the coconuts were pried open, the coconut juice was distributed to everyone in the mansion to drink. The coconut meat was cut into small pieces and was about to be ground into coconut milk using a stone mill.
The housekeeper said someone was coming to visit, so Su Ma went to change her clothes to entertain the guest. Knowing that Su Weixi didn't like to socialize, Su Ma gave her the task of boiling coconut oil.
"Miss, I don't know what's wrong with this millstone. It won't move. It seems that this coconut cannot be ground into pulp using a millstone."
Of course, Su Weixi didn't have to do the work of pushing the millstone herself, it was the maids who pushed the millstone. Su Weixi checked and found that it was because the coconut oil had too many solidification points, and the coconut milk solidified inside the millstone, which made the millstone unable to be pushed.
"Go get some warm water and grind it with the coconut meat."
The maid quickly brought warm water. After flushing it with warm water, she found that the millstone could be pushed and it was smoother than before.
"Oh, it actually works." the maid said excitedly.
"Miss, you are amazing. You can see the problem right away."
"I also saw it in a book." Su Weixi then told them the reason.
In fact, Su Weixi did not see it on the tree, but a food anchor that he liked in his previous life. He often brought a few of his brothers to broadcast live for a whole night, specializing in making various pure handmade foods.
They also bought a stone mill, and used it to grind anything that needed to be ground. They refused to use a blender. Netizens often joked that the brothers in their live broadcast room were nuclear-powered donkeys.
One time, they live streamed making coconut oil. In order to show that it was purely handmade, they used a stone mill to grind coconut milk instead of a wall breaker. As a result, the stone mill got stuck, and netizens in the live stream reminded them to use warm water, which allowed them to grind the coconut milk smoothly.
"Miss, the coconut milk has been ground. What should we do next?"
It took a long time to grind the coconut milk. Su Weixi was reading a book nearby and almost fell asleep.
"You filter it with gauze, and put the filtered coconut milk in the cellar with ice for an hour. Ask the cook to fry the filtered coconut or bake it in the oven, and then you can use it to make bread and cakes."
The family has always used saltpeter to make ice, so there is never a shortage of ice cubes at home. The servants in the Su mansion are also familiar with desserts such as bread and cakes, because the family often made them when they were in the border town.
Su Ma was not a stingy person. From time to time, she would ask the cook to make more so that the servants could often eat it.
After Su Weixi gave the instructions, he went into Su Ma's room and took a nap on the small couch.
When Su Weixi woke up from his nap, he saw Su Ma directing people to boil coconut oil.
After refrigeration, coconut milk will separate into three layers: the top layer is coconut oil, the middle layer is water, and the bottom layer is sediment. Just take out the top layer of coconut oil to boil.
At that time, Su Weixi saw the host of the Nuclear Powered Donkey live broadcast room boiling coconut oil. They did not succeed in the end because they just started boiling it directly after grinding out the coconut milk.
The result was a pot of yellow, burnt-smelling, sticky substance.
At that time, Su Weixi also wanted to shoot a segment on coconut oil. After some research, she found out that coconut milk needs to be refrigerated and settled first, allowing it to separate into layers before taking out the coconut oil on the top layer and boiling it.
The coconut oil was ready quickly and the whole yard was filled with the scent of coconut.
Su Ma finally got five cans of coconut oil and planned to use them as hair masks.
"Mom, was there anything that brought Mrs. Chen here just now?" Su Weixi thought of Su Ma going to receive guests before.
"Nothing, just chatting with me about gossip, and asked me to go to her house to play mahjong tomorrow."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's worthy of being the quintessence of the Chinese nation. It can conquer people wherever it goes."
Su Weixi lamented the attraction of mahjong. After Su Ma came to Qiongzhou Island, she inevitably had to interact with the families of officials in Qiongzhou.
As a result, the Su family's mahjong became famous again among the ladies of Qiongzhou.
Su Ma now has no shortage of mahjong partners, just like when she was in the border town.
"However, she did reveal a piece of news." Su Ma remembered a piece of news that Mrs. Chen had mentioned casually before.
"what's up?"
"She said that Lingnan might appoint a Lingnan King, but Qiongzhou Island was not included in the scope of Lingnan this time."
"How could she know such an important thing?"
"Mrs. Chen's family is from the capital, so she must have her sources of information."
"I wonder if the new emperor will send his brother to Lingnan."
This topic didn't last too long. There's no point in guessing something that hasn't been concluded yet.
However, Su Weixi felt that the prince who was appointed to Lingnan should be feared by the new emperor.
You know, Qiongzhou Island has been under the jurisdiction of Lingnan Prefecture for so many years. Now this prince is going to be assigned to Lingnan to become the King of Lingnan, but Qiongzhou Island is not included.
It should be for the 100,000 troops on this island, using the troops on this island to balance the power.
At this time, Su Weixi didn't know that the upcoming King of Lingnan was an old acquaintance of her family.
In the following days, Su Ma was extremely busy, with ladies from various families sending her invitations every day.
The first is mahjong, and the second is coconut oil.
Su Ma used coconut oil as a hair mask, so her hair always had a light coconut scent. In addition, Su Ma made some hand cream with coconut oil and gave it to some ladies when she went out to play mahjong.
Unexpectedly, the response was very good. Many ladies asked Su Ma where she bought it. Su Ma said she made it herself, and everyone was embarrassed to mention it again.
Su Ma could see the expectation in the ladies' eyes, and an idea came to her mind. She told the ladies that she would open a workshop at home, make some skin care products, and then open a shop in the city to sell them.
Su Weixi ran herself ragged at Su Ma's words. The family had to buy land to build a workshop to make the skin care products that Su Ma mentioned.
Su Ma knew some Chinese medicine skin care recipes, and since she had coconut oil, she thought of making some skin care products based on coconut oil and adding some Chinese medicine.
Because Su Ma had too many social engagements, she had to temporarily hand over the task of building the workshop to Su Weixi. It just so happened that Su Weixi was currently following up on the construction of a seafood processing workshop.
Once the workshop is built, Su Weixi won’t have to worry about the follow-up matters.
At that time, Su Ma will train her own staff and recruit people to make skin care products.
