It took seven to eight people four to five days to plant nearly 20 acres of rapeseed and fertilize it. Everyone helped to fertilize the winter wheat before going home.
After everyone left, Li Yu took the oil tea fruit out of the space. She mixed a small amount of lime and piled it under the eaves for three to four days. She spread it out in the courtyard under the sun and waited for most of the fruits to crack naturally. Li Yu brought Madam Qian and her son to peel and open the unopened fruits on the sun pad.
Madam Qian looked at the seeds and asked Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, there are probably 20 to 30 stones if you clean all these seeds, right?"
"Probably!" Li Yu used a sieve to sieve the seeds clean. She spread them out on a sun pad and dried them for two days before putting them in a wicker basket. She planned to start squeezing oil the next day.
