Louis said with utter despair, "So, after the threshing machine, I also have to work with you to build a hulling machine and a flour mill?"

"A hulling machine is necessary, and we can use a stone mill for grinding flour."

Stone mills have a long history and are simpler to make than woodworking. Simply select two stones of suitable material, grind them, carve out a groove and a hole for a handle, and you're done.

Shelling machine...

"I don't know how to make a shelling machine."

Sang Ning told the truth that she had only ever seen threshing machines and winches, which were like ancient relics. Her grandfather had carefully stored them in the old family home's warehouse, reluctant to throw them away or chop them up for firewood like the other villagers.

Therefore, she had seen it before, but there were no old-fashioned shelling machines in her hometown, so she had never even seen one before and was truly powerless to use it.

[Let Louis take the lead. He's a mechanic, and with the threshing machine as a foundation, he can figure out how to build a hulling machine with a little effort.]

That's right. One principle can be applied to all things. Whether it's old-fashioned machinery or modern machines, they are all fundamentally the same kind of tool. No matter how times change or how technology develops, the relevant theories and knowledge can be connected across different eras.

Making a shell-removing machine is difficult for a layman, but for a professional like Louis, it's a piece of cake.

[Louis, hurry up! The threshing machine took a whole day, and I think half a day should be enough for the hulling machine. Once you've got it ready, you can hull the wheat, and then Ningning can make new food for you (us). Aren't you tempted?]

Louis was really craving food. He didn't even know what he had been eating these past two days. He originally thought that once the threshing machine was finally made, he could finally be free from his misery, but he was too naive.

It turns out that behind the threshing machine is a dehulling machine, and behind the dehulling machine is a stone mill.

He now seriously doubts whether Sang Ning will continue to have him work on other traditional tools once the shelling machine and stone mill are developed.

But that's all for the future; his current task is to develop the shell-removing machine.

"I'll think about how to make a shelling machine."

He said weakly, "But I have conditions."

"What are the conditions?"

Sang Ning and the others said in unison, and Louis looked at Sang Ning and said, "You'll cook today."

At this point, he almost burst into tears, saying, "I really never want to eat Da Yazi and the others' cooking again, it's so awful."

Luo Tianya was displeased. He said angrily, "What do you mean? We work so hard to build this house. Every day we have to carry hundreds of large stones, mix yellow mud, smash leaves to extract juice, and make adhesive to build the house. Do you think we're just sitting around doing nothing?"

"So what if the food is bad? It's still the result of our hard work. Instead of thanking us for keeping you from going hungry, you complain about how bad our cooking is. You're ungrateful and not someone I should be close to."

Mu Tao whispered, "But it really tastes awful. Not to mention Louis, I would find it disgusting too."

Luo Tianya, "..."

Which side is this drama queen on?

He glared at Mu Tao and said irritably, "I know my cooking is bad, but I can complain about it, and you can complain about it too, but Louis is the only one who can't complain about it."

Louis did not understand, and Louis was deeply shocked.

Why can't I complain?

"This is discrimination."

"hehe."

Luo Tianya revealed a smug smile, "So what if I treat you differently? Go ahead and hit me if you dare."

He was serious about becoming a hater after turning from a fan to a hater.

Louis, "..."

Louis felt his fist harden, and he was itching to leave Luo Tianya, but Sang Ning suddenly spoke up, "Deal."

"What transaction was completed..."

Louis's eyes lit up instantly as he instinctively asked, "Can I order some food?"

"Tell me first. If we can fulfill your request, we will. If we can't, we'll leave it to fate."

The so-called "going with the flow" means that whatever she does, they eat.

Louis understood immediately. "Okay, I'd like grilled oysters, is that alright?"

"OK!"

This requirement is not high and can be met.

Sang Ning grabbed a basket and slung it over her shoulder, then picked up another basket in her hand and said, “Don’t just sit around doing nothing, go work, and don’t fight or argue. I’m going to the beach to collect seafood. I’ll cook you something delicious when I get back.”

"Okay, go ahead, we'll definitely do a good job."

In order to escape from Luo Tianya and his group's terrible cooking, the group behaved themselves very well and even watched Sang Ning go down the mountain together, a scene that looked just like employees paying their respects to their boss.

I was just short of saying, "Take care, Sister Ning! Come again next time, Sister Ning!"

The audience burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.

The atmosphere among these players after forming a team is truly excellent. While other players are sabotaging each other and being wary of one another for survival, they have successfully found their roles and personas under Sang Ning's guidance.

Watching their struggle for survival was so entertaining; it successfully cleansed my fragile soul, which had been poisoned by the other show.

[Hey, is that complicated, melodramatic love triangle next door starting again? You love me, I love her (him), and he (she) loves him (her)?]

I just checked and it's really started again. I just don't understand, what kind of twisted and heartless environment did the producers of that other show grow up in to come up with such a melodramatic and illogical romantic storyline?

I am the "dog planner" mentioned upstairs. I solemnly declare that my upbringing was normal, and I am a normal person with a healthy mind and normal values.

I've said it countless times: every episode of this show is unscripted. All the complex emotional entanglements and experiences of the guests are based on their real-life experiences.

As soon as this comment appeared, the live stream went silent; no more gifts were sent, and no more comments were posted.

The entire live stream seemed to be lagging.

This process lasted about half a minute, during which a viewer posted a comment.

Are you the planner from next door?

Why are you in Ningning's live stream?

Don't tell me you want our Ningning to participate in your show too?

I'm telling you, that's impossible. Our Ningning is all about technical skills; she doesn't engage in drama or bizarre relationship stories to get attention.

Give up, you lousy planner.

【You're the dog planner, your whole family are dog planners. If you're a planner, why add "dog" to it? It makes it seem like you're not dog at all. I think you're the dog the most.】

Let me say it again: what we present to the audience on our show is all the real experiences of our guests. It has nothing to do with me as the planner. I'm just a paid freeloader, understand?

Also, inviting guests for the show isn't my responsibility. You can completely rest assured about the person upstairs who said they wanted to invite Sang Ning.

One viewer couldn't help but ask, "I have a question. You said your show presents only the real experiences of your guests, but how did you find these guests?"

The planner next door gave a subtle smile and sent a comment.
