Chapter 210 Don’t Do Things That Cut Off Your Own Financial Resources
Dong Li stood up and said, "Wen girl, my family has been doing secondary processing with you, and I accept the loss."
Wen Zhenyi smiled faintly. It was better to let them figure out some things on their own. If he lobbied too much, they would cause trouble for him if he failed to make money in the future.
With Dong Li taking the lead, the villagers in the village no longer wavered and made up their minds to follow Wen Zhenyi to do secondary processing.
Seeing no one objected, Wen Zhen spoke up, "I can teach you a method, but I want you to understand one thing: the fewer people who know about it, the more money you can make. Once more people know about it, your way to make money will be gone."
Dong Li turned to look at the people in the village and said, "Did you hear that? Don't do anything that will cut off your own source of income."
"Don't worry, Wen girl, we will keep our mouths shut."
"I now have three recipes that I can teach you. One is seasonal, and two can be used long-term. But the premise of long-term use is that no one else knows how to use it."
Dong Li didn't expect her to teach them three recipes at once: "Did you all listen carefully? After you learn it, keep your mouths shut. If anyone leaks it, don't blame us for not respecting our long-standing neighbors. I will definitely kick you out of the village then."
"Yes, yes, let's supervise each other." After the villagers understood this principle, they spontaneously supervised each other.
Wen Zhenyi didn't keep them in suspense and told them everything they needed: "Chicken eggs, duck eggs, yellow mud, lime, rice husks, salt, wine, and jars. These are the ingredients needed for two recipes that can be used for a long time."
The villagers began to memorize it silently in their minds. If they couldn't remember it, they would ask the people next to them: "What else is it?"
Most of the people who came today were elderly people, and she said so much at once that it was easy to forget something. Fortunately, everyone reminded each other, so they remembered most of it.
Dong Li memorized everything he needed: "Wen girl, what's the other one?"
"There's also lotus root, which is seasonal. I also hope you can finish processing the lotus root first. This is seasonal. I just told you so that you can have time to buy it. After all, not everyone at home has these things."
Dong Li was troubled again when he heard about lotus roots: "No one grows lotus roots around here, and lotus roots are only grown by wealthy families. We don't have them here."
"Don't worry about this, Village Chief. I've already spoken to Heyuan. The price will be cheaper than what you usually buy at the market."
"What is needed for the secondary processing of lotus roots?"
"Clean water, a millstone, gauze, a basin, and a bucket."
The villagers were still taking notes seriously, but when he finished listening, they all looked up at her: "That's all?"
"No more." Wen Zhenyi said with a smile.
"Is that all?" the villagers asked in disbelief.
Wen Zhen nodded slightly: "That's all, but I have to emphasize one thing when making these things. They must be clean and hygienic. The village chief must be responsible for supervising everyone. Otherwise, if this is sold out and people get sick, it will not be as simple as destroying our reputation."
Dong Li felt the burden on him had grown even heavier: "Okay, I will definitely supervise it."
Grandpa Ding quickly asked, "Yi Yi, when will the lotus roots be delivered?"
"I brought some back today. You can go back and discuss it with your family. If there is no problem, you can come to me to buy some. I can teach you how to make it this afternoon."
"Okay, let's go now." Someone agreed and then ran away, as if he was afraid that someone else would get there first if he was late.
The people in the yard reacted and stood up and ran out.
Soon, the originally bustling yard was left with only a small bench forgotten by its owner.
Old Man Wen looked at the yard that disappeared and said, "It runs faster than a rabbit."
Old Lady Wen rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Wen Zhenyi: "Yiyi, where's that little guy, Cream?"
"I don't know where it went after it came back." Wen Zhenyi was not worried about it getting into trouble. Don't underestimate this little thing because it is very smart.
"This little thing has been having fun as soon as it comes back." Ma Yinghe loves and hates it.
Wen Zhenyi went to see the models made by Xiong Lu. These models were very delicate. They were driven by gears and only required the turning of a handle.
"Can I use my hands?"
Xiong Lu nodded: "If we don't use our hands, we need something else to replace them, such as wind or water, but that would be too big."
Wen Zhenyi looked at these models and began to wonder if Xiong Lu had learned from Lu Ban: "Is this the shaved ice machine you modified?"
Xiong Lu watched her point at a wooden structure that was polished very smoothly. "Yes, I haven't had time to send it to you yet. The blade is now stronger than before, but I haven't found a way to remove the rust yet."
"It's okay, this is already good enough. The noodle machine is also fine. You can make it and see. Did you make the windmill before?"
"Well, I've already made one. I looked at the situation in the village and I think we can make a few more."
"Just let it go and do it."
"Miss, take a look at this egg beater."
Wen Zhenyi took the thing he handed over. It looked like a vertical egg beater, but it was not made of metal. It was made entirely of wood, bamboo and iron.
There is a handle on the side of it. Turning the handle will make the broom in front of it rotate quickly. Although you still use your hands, it is much less tiring than using your arms constantly.
The one made by Xiong Lu can be lifted to a fixed height, and the distance between the broom and the basin can be adjusted according to the required height.
"Can this broom be taken down?"
Xiong Lu nodded and pressed one place, and the brooms in front fell off.
Wen Zhenyi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Xiong, what is your relationship with Lu Ban?"
Xiong Lu looked at her in confusion: "Who is Lu Ban?"
"It's okay, it's just a master as powerful as you."
Xiong Lu looked at Wen Zhenyi excitedly: "Have you seen him? Where can I find him?"
Wen Zhenyi's mouth twitched: "I've never seen him, I've only heard of him, but I heard he's been dead for many years."
Xiong Lu was a little depressed when he heard this: "That's such a pity, it would be great if we could meet him."
Wen Zhenyi didn't know what to say: "Well, I'll take these things back with me when I go back."
"Okay, I'll send it to you when the rest is ready."
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and said, "I will take the windmill you made to town when the time comes."
"Okay." Xiong Lu answered and started fiddling with the things on the table again.
Wen Zhen saw that he had no intention of paying attention to her anymore, so she had no choice but to leave the room.
