Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Next is the question of whether to offer it or not. We have already offered alcohol and distillation technology, which has already caught the eyes of the state and county magistrates. For us, this honor is enough, and there is no need to make further efforts, at least not at this juncture.

If we go too far, it will arouse suspicion from those above us, which will not be conducive to our growth and development.

As for, if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, we can adapt flexibly according to the situation. There is no need for that now. What do you think, Grandpa?"

Grandpa and everyone else thought about it and realized that it was just as the third girl said. They were too cautious and prudent. Of course, this was also related to their birth and environment which limited their horizons.

Like a frightened bird, not even daring to use it at home, it is really too exaggerated. At most, if it is discovered, we can find an excuse to cover it up. If we really can't cover it up, we can consider whether to donate it or not, and how to donate it.

It's impossible that the third girl worked hard behind closed doors for more than ten days and finally came up with a new result, but she still has to keep it to herself and doesn't even dare to use it at home. If she tells others about it, they will laugh at her to death.

So, without thinking too much, Grandpa made the decision and called on everyone who was eager to try to divide the work.

They are currently running four long-term development projects, namely distilled spirits, alcohol, instant noodles, and cement, as well as a short-term project that requires them to learn and make blackboards and chalk.

In this way, if there is no division of labor, they may neglect one or two projects, which will be bad.

As the night deepened, candles flickered in the Lin family farm. There was still a bustling crowd, which intertwined with the night wind and was filled with a high-pitched and exciting atmosphere of joy.

Grandpa divided the work among the twenty-eight people currently, minus the three who went to Black Wind Ridge and then minus Xiao Maizi, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, and the remaining twenty-two people made a division of labor.

Distilled liquor and alcohol team: Lin Laosan, Miao, Lin Dahua, Chen Xiaocao, Chun Xing, Er Gouzi, Aunt Baotian, Qi Qiao, a sister of two men and six women, seems to be the most people in all the teams. However, Aunt Baotian and Qi Qiao are pregnant for more than seven months, so they dare not let them do heavy work. They just sit and watch the fire and help keep an eye on it. Although Lin Dahua handed the wheat to Xiaosi and Xiaowu, the wheat is still young, so she has to take time out to look after the wheat occasionally, and at most she can only be used as half a person. The other five people not only have to move and lift, but also have to split up the distillation and alcohol operations. So, although there are eight people, it is really not enough to keep busy.

The instant noodle team: Lin Dashan, Aunt Dashan, Lin Chunhua, Niu Laogen, and Aunt Niu, a group of two men and three women. Men do the physical work, but women are needed to weave instant noodles, so the combination of men and women is reasonable.

Cement team: Sanya Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Baotian, Lin Xiaoshan, Niu Tietou, and hunter Lin Quanshui. Most of them are young people, because mixing cement slurry is a physical job that older people can't afford, so it is more suitable for young and strong guys.

Blackboard and chalk group: Erya Lin Zhaodi, Lin Shuqin, the little wife of the hunter, and Lin Xiaoyue, who is the technical consultant for both the cement group and the blackboard group. Compared with the first three groups, this group has the fewest people. It's not that Grandpa Lin is partial, but relatively speaking, this group doesn't have much work to do. It can be done in ten days or so, and one man and two women are enough. After we sort it out, we can put the three people back into the front group.

Grandpa Lin was responsible for guarding the door, so he was assigned to the mobile team together with Xiao Si and Xiao Wu. When he was free, he could support the emergency situations of each team at any time.

The division of labor was basically the same here, and everyone said there was no problem, except Lin Xiaoyue who raised her hand.

Everyone:? ? ?

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Xiaoyue smiled heartlessly and frankly, "Grandpa, I guess I won't be able to get in. Starting tomorrow I have to go to the town to find a blacksmith shop to be an apprentice for a while."

"Gah???"

Everyone was shocked, not because they were dissatisfied with Lin Xiaoyue's "slipping away", but because why did she want to be an apprentice for no reason? What was going on? ?

"Yes, I want to find a blacksmith shop to learn some skills. I don't have to run to the town every now and then to make something. I can do it myself in the farm, which is much more convenient." Lin Xiaoyue said in a serious tone, "I just don't know if they will accept part-time female apprentices. Well, if it's really not possible, I can pay a salary? I don't know if one thousand taels is enough..."

Everyone listened to Lin Xiaoyue's whispers, their mouths twitching wildly, feeling like they were dreaming, not real at all. You're a girl, why are you learning to forge iron? Why are you competing with men for jobs?

"Sanya, are you serious?"

"Girl, why don't we learn some other talents?"

"Yes, Sanya, if you really don't like these things, it's okay. We know your ability. Without you, we wouldn't have the chance to make more money. There's really no need to learn those hot and physically demanding jobs that are not suitable for girls."

"Let's change it. Let's see how good your embroidery or cooking is."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her worriedly and advising her cautiously, they thought that she was tired of repetitive trivial things and wanted to change her taste and go out to have some fun.

In fact, it's not true. Didn't they draft the contract at the beginning? She just invested in the technology and waited for the profit share, without participating in the daily division of labor.

"It takes about half a month to a month to learn the craft at the blacksmith shop. It won't be too long. I just want to make something convenient for myself in the future. I don't have to run to the town all the time. It's too troublesome."

She still remembered that the broken space suddenly lost connection because she used a homemade gasoline incendiary bottle. She has always been upset and has not forgotten it. Although it has not been confirmed, Lin Xiaoyue felt that the "flight mode" was turned on so inexplicably. After analyzing various reasons, the most likely cause was the murder caused by hot weapons.

Being passively offline once was enough. She was not willing to entrust her safety to a space spirit whose "thoughts" were immature, "emotions" were unstable, who had many tricks and inconsistent values.

In this dimension where imperial power is supreme and the rich and powerful hold the power of life and death, gunpowder and oil are the most powerful life-saving weapons. She may not necessarily need to use them, but she must keep them in stock.

Being prepared is not.

She can go into the mountains to look for oil by herself later. There are naturally formed oil fields. If she can't find it, she can bring Maomao along and let it lead the search. After all, the mountains are its territory, and there is no reason why it can't find it.

Not to mention gunpowder, the terminator of the cold weapon era, a weapon of mass destruction. Veterans who had experienced that era all knew that it was one part nitrate, two parts sulfur and three parts charcoal. The specific proportions were in the books of the space, so she didn't need to study it specifically.

It is best to wrap it with an iron lump to make it more powerful.
