With that, Lin Jinyue led the four of them into the farm.
Only in the farm space, with Lin Jinyue's authorization, can others see the mall's trading panel.
Lin Jinyue smiled mysteriously: "I've unlocked something unexpected."
She then opened the system shop's trading panel and said to the group, "Look! What's this!"
With her back to the system transaction panel, Lin Jinyue knew exactly what she had unlocked.
However, she noticed that her parents' expressions seemed a bit off.
Why is everyone just standing there dumbfounded and not saying a word?
They're all from modern times, so they must have seen an electric fan before...
Lin Jinyue glanced at the system panel, but there was nothing strange about it.
What's wrong with you guys?
Lin Shucheng's expression was complicated: "Girl, why don't you take a look at the price?"
Lin Jinyue turned around and carefully examined the system panel. She was stunned. Was this electric fan made of diamonds?
It actually charged 8888!
It's eight thousand eight hundred taels of silver, not copper coins!
Moreover, the price will increase by 5% every month.
Good heavens, this system is a real swindler.
At that moment, the system's mechanical voice rang in the minds of the four of them:
[System: This is a new energy electric fan, and it can be disguised as a product of a different era without being detected. Because the technology is far beyond what this world can achieve, the price will be a bit higher.]
Hearing this, Lin Jinyue sighed.
She said to her parents, "It seems that I can't count on the system to carry out an industrial revolution or an agricultural revolution."
Lin Shucheng was also shocked by the system's pricing. "You mean this electric fan costs almost nine thousand taels of silver? And those excavators and tractors would cost hundreds of thousands of taels!"
Well, it seems I still have to stick to farming.
Lin Jinyue sighed, "We still need to think of more ways to make money. It's a pity that there are too few people in our village. Even if I had a million ways to make money and the capital to rent a shop, I wouldn't have the manpower."
Lin Shucheng said, "Yes, apart from hiring odd jobs outside, we can't hire outsiders. The underage children in the village still need to go to school and learn to read and write. We are really short of people."
But Lin Jinyue wasn't too fixated on this matter.
Seeing that her parents and brother were all trying to make money, Lin Jinyue said, "Oh, it's okay. We've gotten through this heat for so long. Now that it's autumn, it should get cooler. We can earn more money next year to buy a fan."
Since she couldn't buy it for the time being, Lin Jinyue didn't dwell on it.
Lin Shucheng brought up another matter, "Yueyue, did Third Master Hu tell you anything...?"
Lin Jinyue looked at her father in confusion: "What are you saying?"
Lin Shucheng frowned: "This is just my guess, but I have a feeling that Third Master Hu might want to settle down here."
Lin Jinyue was taken aback: "What? Third Master Hu is coming?"
Lin Shucheng: "I'm not sure either, but I have a feeling that he might be interested in that."
Lin Jinyue frowned: "Could it be that the situation outside is worse than I thought?"
Otherwise, why would Uncle Hu and his men leave Yun Song County and come to such a remote place like this?
Lin Jinyue didn't sit idle either; she quickly went to draw up blueprints, just in case their village needed to start building large ships.
Larger boats are very expensive, but it's easier to build one yourself.
Seeing his daughter working so hard, Lin Shucheng quickly said, "Is it really that scary?"
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "Not necessarily. The fighting over there is fierce, so they probably won't be able to reach Lingnan for a while. I'm just a little worried, so let's make preparations first. It'll be hard on you, blacksmith Li."
Lin Jinyue was drawing there.
Lin Shucheng and the others also discussed countermeasures.
Lin Xueqing is a retired special forces soldier who is very knowledgeable about training techniques. She plans to teach them archery and some simple and practical self-defense skills in the future.
If a fight breaks out, they won't be completely powerless to fight back.
Seeing Lin Jinyue drawing diligently, Lin Shucheng and the others began to help their daughter with planting.
Recently, the demand for chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns has been very high, so Lin Shucheng plans to clear out half an acre of land to plant Sichuan peppercorns and the other half an acre to plant more chili peppers.
Jiang Yun and Lin Xueqing then began picking chili peppers.
After picking them, they need to be dried into chili peppers, and some of them need to be ground into powder.
When the time came, Lin Shucheng and the others were ejected.
Lin Jinyue continued drawing ship blueprints in the space.
I don't know how long I drew, but when I came out of the space, it was completely dark.
When I checked the time, it was almost midnight.
There was food on the farm, and she wasn't hungry, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
However, she felt like she hadn't slept for long before someone pulled her up.
Lin Jinyue looked at her mother groggily, "Mom, what's wrong? It's only 5:30, I just went to sleep!"
Jiang Yun pulled her up and helped her put on her clothes, saying as she did so, "Get up quickly. Your brother said he's going to teach the villagers self-defense techniques. From now on, there will be training every day from six to seven o'clock for an hour, as well as evening exercises."
“If you’re really sleepy, learn some boxing from your brother for an hour first, then practice calligraphy for an hour, and then go back to sleep. We can’t let Old Tan keep nagging you to learn.”
Lin Jinyue rubbed her eyes, finally waking up.
She can endure getting up early to practice boxing, really.
She's exercising, and besides, these days are dangerous. She knows some martial arts, so taking down a grown man is no problem for her.
But practicing calligraphy really gave her a headache.
That limp pen is hard to write with and wastes paper, so why use a calligraphy brush?
Lin Jinyue wanted to write with charcoal pencils, which are small wooden sticks that can be heated with charcoal to write on paper.
Her handwriting with a pen was actually quite good, but Mr. Tan said that the charcoal writing wouldn't last long and would disappear, so she definitely had to learn calligraphy.
Lin Jinyue practiced boxing with her brother in the morning.
The men, women, and children in the village, including those who were going to Shawan County to do business, didn't mind the time wasted and practiced with Lin Xueqing for half an hour before leaving.
Even Tan Lao, Lin Youcai, and Lin Jinyue's third great-uncle, who are all quite old, are practicing together.
After finishing her practice, Lin Jinyue took advantage of Elder Tan's inattention and prepared to sneak away.
However, as soon as she had this thought, she felt a tightness in her neck.
When she turned around, she saw that it was Old Tan grabbing her by the collar.
Lin Jinyue could only follow him to practice calligraphy with a heavy heart.
I must say, practicing calligraphy really does calm the mind, and after seeing traditional characters so often, you gradually get used to them without even realizing it.
However, Lin Jinyue was still unwilling to waste time practicing calligraphy.
She knew that Master Tan meant well. In ancient times, women were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, but Master Tan still treated all girls the same.
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and then went to find Wang the carpenter.
She took a piece of bamboo about the thickness of a pen barrel and asked the carpenter to whittle one end into the shape of a pen tip and carve a groove, thus creating a simple bamboo pen that could be used to write with ink.
Lin Jinyue was desperate to avoid practicing calligraphy.
However, she seems to have discovered a new business opportunity.
Bamboo pens are easy to use and will definitely be widely adopted.
