Chapter 16: The Ladies

ontrast to each other...It's not even comparable!"Yang Lin, do you really need so many people""Yes, Liu the landlord has a lot of people working for him, over a hundred! If everyone brought their fami...Seeing the grinding wheel spin, everyone's eyes widened.

Besides the hired workers from Yang Lin's orchard, there were also many villagers who came to watch the excitement by the riverbank.

Although there was a large crowd, at this moment, it was silent. All that could be heard was the sound of rushing water.

The scene before me was truly shocking and unbelievable!

In the past, grinding grain relied either on human power or animal strength.

But right now, this thing is just a big wheel. And the grinding disc started spinning on its own!

Does the grinding disc spin by itself without manual pushing

Who could have imagined this before today

It's simply amazing!

"Goodness me, this speed is faster than a donkey grinding corn."

It's not just fast, it's way too fast.

"And looking at it this way, it can work day and night!"

The villagers all marveled in astonishment.

While Yang Lin's women saw this scene, they were even more excited.

With this, is that 4,300 yuan worth of tofu still a problem

They have been grinding for several days, and they know too well how slow the process is.

Now, this water mill's speed is more than two or three times faster than their hard work grinding by hand. And most importantly, this water mill doesn't get tired; it can work day and night without stopping.

"Let's get to work!"

Before everyone could recover from their excitement, Yang Lin gave the order.

Pour the soaked beans into the water mill, and soon the finely ground soy milk flows out. After filling the wooden bucket, it is poured into a large pot already set up nearby. Boil the water, cook the soy milk...

The entire tofu-making process has been meticulously arranged by Yang Lin in a streamlined manner, with each step clearly defined. As a result, everyone only needs to focus on their assigned task, ensuring the smooth and flawless operation of the entire production line.

This way, every step is simply some simple, easy-to-learn, and highly repetitive work. Everyone won't get tired doing it, and efficiency is maximized.

In just half a day's work, this patch of vacant land by the riverbank had already become a makeshift tofu workshop.

In the midst of the bustling heat, the first dish of tofu was quickly prepared!

Seeing this lively scene, Li Yuyao had long forgotten her bet with Yang Lin. All she felt was excitement.

In this situation, with this scene, only two words can describe her feelings.

Perfect!

Yes, it's perfect!

More than thirty people, not only were there no signs of chaos, each person had their own task to do, busy yet orderly. Although only twenty more people were added, the speed of making tofu was astonishingly five or six times faster than before!

But...

Li Yuxiang is still a little worried.

"In that case, you'd be making the tofu-making technique public. Aren't you afraid someone will steal it and learn to do it themselves"

Li Yuxiang found Yang Lin and voiced her concerns.

Now tofu is their only means of livelihood, not only profitable but also with great potential for development.

Now, leaving my own small courtyard, there are many villagers watching around. The method of making tofu is not difficult. Smart people just need to look at it a few more times and they can learn it.

If more people know how to make tofu, then they will have no advantage in making it.

Yang Lin asked, "My wife, what do you think is the most important thing about making tofu"

"Huh"

Li Yuxiang pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up.

"Are you saying, stone water"

Li Yuyao was quick-witted and immediately grasped the key point.

Yang Lin nodded. "That's right, the whole process is actually very simple, there's no technical content at all. Even if we continue to hide in the courtyard, it won't be long before people learn how to make tofu.""Only this stone water is the key to making tofu!"

"Stone water is the core technology for making tofu. Without stone water, even if you learn the whole process, it's impossible to make tofu."

And...

Yang Lin grinned slyly: "Besides core technology, the process of making tofu, when made public, is better than keeping it hidden."

What is called "stone water" is simply plaster. The key to making plaster, however, is burning gypsum.

Gypsum's main component is calcium sulfate, but raw gypsum and calcined gypsum are completely different. When firing gypsum, the temperature must be controlled and not too high. The suspension is then used...

Only these conditions, if Yang Lin does not disclose them, even after decades or even centuries, it may be difficult for anyone to summarize them.

Yang Lin had already made up his mind.

How much money can you make by making tofu

He has bigger business!

Li Yuxiang was taken aback for a moment.

Is public better

She chewed on the words, but still couldn't understand.

Yang Lin obviously didn't intend to explain, he just gave her a mysterious smile.

Li Yuyao immediately thought, at this rate, a day's time would indeed be enough to make 430 pieces of tofu.

So, in the wager with Yang Lin, if he wins, I will willingly become his wife.

Although he does have some skills, should I really become his woman

Court The whole world

All of this will have nothing to do with oneself.

...one's whole life can only be spent in this small village....

It's a shame!

……

As soon as Du Jinggang arrived at Koushan Village, he heard about what happened by the riverbank, so he hurried to the riverbank.

Then, he saw a scene that would forever be etched in his memory!

A hand grinder is spinning continuously, and all it takes is one person to effortlessly add the beans. The ground coffee water flows out slowly.

Looking at the watermill, Du Jing was dumbfounded. He was completely shocked.

"Jingge."

Yang Lin's greeting was what brought him back to his senses.

"Lin Di, are these all your work Tell me, how did you do this"

Du Jing grabbed Yang Lin's shoulder, shaking him vigorously, his eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing Du Jing's eager appearance, Yang Lin finally felt at ease.

He was still, after all these years, that same boy. Nothing had changed.

Yang Lin said, "Jing Ge, these are just toys, they don't matter. I asked you to help me because there's something more important."

"What Not important No no no!"

Du Jing hurriedly shook his head: "Lin Di, you don't understand, your design is truly ingenious! Replacing manpower with water power is a brilliant idea, a great concept! It's taking nature's power and using it for ourselves!"

Seeing his excitement, Yang Lin just smiled and shook his head dismissively. "I'm serious," he said, "this waterwheel is nothing special. In the future, we can easily build a real water mill, and it will be several times faster!"

The water mill in front of me is too rough. The overall wooden structure has a low power conversion ratio and is not solid enough. There is still a lot of room for improvement.

"Jǐnggē, wǒ qǐng nǐ lái, shì yǒu zhēn de dà shì!"

"Well, since you've just arrived today, there's no rush. Let me introduce my wives to you first," Yang Lin said.

Du Jing's face wore a strange expression.

My lady... all of youZiyi and Qingyi saw Yang Lin and Li Yunyao appear before them, they were greatly surprised!As the former princess, she is now the emperor's personal maid. Although both are still virgins, they have le...
