Xie Songlin worked for several days and made the remaining parts one by one. He took Xie Songyang's ox cart again to pick up the custom-made iron sheets. When all the parts were in front of him, he no longer needed to look at the drawings. His hands skillfully and quickly put the parts together one by one.
He was so excited that he didn't know what to do after finally making the finished product. However, it was still afternoon and it was still early for Xie Songlin to come back. After much deliberation, he decided to go to Xie Songlin's kitchen and ask his wife Zhou to help test the effect of this thing.
Xie Songmu carefully moved the thing into the kitchen and placed it on the countertop. The structure underneath was similar to that of an ordinary food processor, but it had an additional shakeable handle on the back.
When Zhou saw it, she asked curiously, "What is this?" Her eyes were full of confusion as she looked up and down at the strange object.
"Songlin said this is called an egg beater. He gave me the blueprint and I just made it."
"So you've been busy with this lately."
Xie Songmu nodded: "Well, come and help me try it out to see if it works."
"What should I try it with?" Zhou looked around, not knowing what in the kitchen he could use to try this.
"Since it's called an egg beater, it should be used to beat eggs, right? Try beating an egg into the bowl."
Zhou obediently cracked an egg into the bowl under the stirring rod. Xie Songmu shook his head: "No, there's too little. The egg can't even touch the bottom. Crack two more."
Zhou looked hesitant. "Can you still eat eggs after using this? Don't ruin the eggs here. It would be bad if Mom finds out."
"Don't be afraid, this is edible. I'm just trying it out. You can fry these eggs for lunch later."
After hearing what Xie Songmu said, Zhou's worries were slightly relieved, but she still said with some concern: "Okay, but we have to be careful. If it doesn't work, don't waste too many eggs."
After saying that, she cracked a few more eggs into the basin. Looking at the gradually increasing number of eggs in the basin, Zhou was still a little nervous.
"Zhenniang, you try it." Xie Songmu pointed to the handle and said, "Shake it here."
Zhou slowly grasped the handle of the whisk and began to shake it with a hint of curiosity and nervousness. At first, she was a little cautious, afraid of spilling the eggs or breaking this new object.
As the handle turns, the stirring rod begins to move rhythmically in the basin. The egg liquid quickly becomes uniform and delicate under the rapid stirring of the stirring rod, and the originally independent egg yolks and egg whites quickly blend together.
Zhou's eyes widened in surprise. She cranked the handle faster, watching the egg liquid swirl rapidly in the basin. Zhou said excitedly, "Oh, this thing is amazing! Come and crack a few more eggs."
When Xie Songmu heard what Zhou said, he quickly cracked a few more eggs into the basin. As more eggs were added, the egg liquid in the basin gradually increased, but with the help of the egg beater, it was still stirred very evenly.
"That's enough. This is enough for several workers to eat at noon."
"Well, it should be almost done. I'll give it to Songlin to try in the evening and see if there's anything else he wants to improve." Xie Songmu helped Zhou pour the egg liquid into the bowl, washed the egg beater and moved it back.
Xie Songlin felt that his third brother was very capable. As soon as he came back, Xie Songmu told him that the thing had been made. He was surprised and immediately asked Xie Songmu to bring the thing over for experiment.
Xie Songlin and Cheng Hui both entered the kitchen. When Xie Songmu placed the newly made hand-cranked egg beater in front of Xie Songlin, his eyes lit up instantly. He looked at the newly made hand-cranked egg beater in front of him with joy. He admired his third brother Xie Songmu very much for making this hand-cranked egg beater in just a few days.
Cheng Hui was also pleasantly surprised after trying it. Whipping the cream was not a problem at all. Although it was still a bit tiring to whip a large bucket of cream, it was much better than before.
Xie Songlin: "Third brother, thank you for your hard work. Make me a few more of these egg beaters. I'll pay you three taels of silver for each one. The faster you make it, the better."
"When Xie Songmu heard this, he was immediately shocked and quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, Songlin, you gave me the blueprint. I just helped. How can I ask you for so much money? Just pay for the materials."
"Take it. You've helped me a lot. This little money is nothing."
"You deserve the money, Third Brother." Cheng Hui also echoed, "The shop is almost overwhelmed with cakes, and the people who beat the cream every day are so tired that their hands are dying. You really are a big help."
Xie Songmu was moved and said, "Thank you, Songlin."
"Third brother, we are brothers, no need to say thank you."
As they were talking, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open. Xie Lian and Xie Shu walked in, and Liu followed them timidly.
Cheng Hui asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Lian'er? Why are you here?"
Her eyes swept back and forth between the three of them, her heart full of curiosity. Ever since the last incident with Liu Yin, Cheng Hui really felt that she had not seen her second sister-in-law Liu and these two nieces for a long time.
In the end, Liu was afraid of the divorce letter in Old Lady Shen's hand. Since then, she dared not say much. All her little thoughts and calculations in the past were deeply hidden in her heart. She even rushed to do the work at home every day, for fear that Old Lady Shen would be unhappy and take out the divorce letter to drive her away.
But just because she stopped talking at home didn't mean she stopped eavesdropping. She always kept her ears open, paying attention to what was going on around her. From Qian's daily conversations with Old Lady Shen after she returned home, as well as from the bits and pieces of conversation from people from other villages working in the shop, she probably figured out a lot of things.
She learned that Xie Songlin had opened another restaurant in the city. The first wife and her husband were now managing it, receiving a significant monthly income. After things here were settled, Zhou from the third wife would also move to the city to run a shop. As for her husband, he was now considered one of the managers of the tea shop, earning a good amount of money every day. However, she was kept under close watch and had never seen a single cent of the money he brought home. She felt as if she had been excluded from the family's prosperity.
Earlier, Xie Songlin had actually asked the two daughters of the Liu family to help out in the shop. However, Xie Lian was shy and, because her own marriage had been ruined, she felt a little angry with Xie Songlin, so she refused to go no matter what, and only used the excuse that she had to prepare for the wedding at home and was unable to go out.
