Shopkeeper Qian quickly called her, "Come here, Miss Lin! These are the best craftsmen in our county."

Then he turned to the old men and said, "This little girl is the employer."

Lin Wanwan bowed to them and said, "Greetings to all the masters, I am Lin Wanwan!"

One of the old men stroked his beard and said, "I heard from Shopkeeper Qian that the thing you asked us to build has never been seen before. I don't know what it is."

Lin Wanwan smiled and took out the drawings to show them.

"This is called a water mill. I got it from a foreign merchant. It mainly relies on the flow of water to drive the windmill to rotate, and then the leaves are moved to make it pound things by itself. It is very convenient."

The old men couldn't help but watch in fascination and praised it again and again.

"Great! Miss Lin, do you know how many people will scramble for this item once it's made?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid it might alarm the higher-ups."

"This is something that will benefit the people's livelihood, so it will definitely alarm the higher-ups. But if we make it, we will become famous!"

Lin Wanwan laughed and said, "Don't worry, masters. If the higher-ups want it, I'll give it to them!"

"Hahaha, the little girl is not greedy at all!"

"Yes, the young are to be feared!"

"Um..." Lin Wanwan interrupted them and asked quietly, "I wonder how many people the masters can bring?"

"This is a big deal. We can each bring ten people, a total of sixty people. How about that?"

Lin Wanwan calculated the price and found that one day’s wages would be seven or eight taels!

"Well, how many days will it take to be completed?"

"It should be around ten to fifteen days. Let's go there and see for ourselves."

"Well, I want to build a house. Can you guys help me?"

“How big do you want to build?”

"It can accommodate more than a dozen people."

Shopkeeper Qian tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Well, it's a big scale. Let me think about it. I only have so many people, and there won't be enough to share. Is there anyone in your village who can build a house?"

Lin Wanwan nodded, "Yes, we have a carpenter in our village."

"Well, that's fine. Go to the village and hire some carpenters. I'll find two people for you to discuss this with you."

"Okay, that's it for now."

They drove two ox carts and headed towards Linjia Village.

When they arrived at the village, they all got off the car and walked along the river to the back mountain, measuring the width of the river and choosing a location. They felt that feng shui was very important for building a bridge, and they had to find the right location.

An old master pointed at the river and said, "Little girl, the river in your village is amazing. In the past, when there was a severe drought, people in our county relied on this river to survive! Later, someone looked for the source and found that there was groundwater in the mountains, so the river could not dry up."

"Yes, my master also mentioned to me at that time that the river in Linjia Village is very important. In the past, some people took the lead in building bridges here several times, but they were all washed away."

"Well, I think we chose the wrong place. The water flow seems to be gentle and the water level is relatively shallow, but during the flood season, the river water can be very turbulent."

“It’s really not easy to deal with!”

"Well, let's go back and study it, and decide where to build the bridge tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Qian has no problem with this, they can start work tomorrow.

They returned to the carpentry shop, and Lin Wanwan stopped several masters who were about to leave.

"Masters, I have something else I want to ask you for help!" She took out the kiln blueprints, "I want to build a few kilns in my shop. If you are free, can you bring people to build them for me?"

They looked at it and said, "Your kiln is interesting. OK, you go back and wait. We will go back with a few people and materials and come find you!"

"Haha, thank you so much, masters! My shop is on Lin'an Street, diagonally opposite the Yunyin Building!"

"Oh, it's the restaurant owned by Manager Xu Xingdong! We just went to renovate it for him two years ago! I heard that his son got into trouble, so he sold the shop and went to Yecheng!"

"Alas! Things in this world are unpredictable..."

"That's fine, we know where it is, little girl, just go back and wait!"

"Okay!"

When Lin Wanwan was walking back, she happened to meet a firewood seller driving an ox cart and quickly called out to him.

"Uncle, how do you sell this firewood?"

"Forty cents a load! Don't worry, it's all dry firewood!"

"I want all your truckloads! Can you deliver it to my shop?"

"Okay, little girl, you lead the way!"

She brought the firewood seller to the shop and asked him to carry all the firewood to the woodshed. She counted the firewood and found there were about twenty-five or twenty-six stones.

After paying him and asking him to deliver a cartload every three days, the firewood seller happily agreed immediately.

The craftsmen came with their people and took them to the yard. It would be very troublesome to build a kitchen there, and the smoke exhaust duct would also have to be rebuilt, so it would be much more convenient in the yard.

One of the masters knocked on the wall and said, "Well, the bluestone bricks of this wall are heat-resistant, which is just right here."

"Yes, I want to build four here, two for open flames, and two for stewing and roasting."

"Your oven for baking has two layers, so the heat is evenly distributed."

"Okay, I'll ask my apprentice to pick a few more veterans and try to finish it for you today!"

"Okay! Then I'll trouble you, masters."

Lin Wanwan took advantage of this time to rush to the market. Seeing that her sister-in-law and brother Dayong had not finished selling yet, she drove the donkey cart to buy things first.

When she reached a deserted place, she quickly ran into the space, sold the angelica she had picked last time, and asked 857 for a 300-year-old ginseng.
