Mo Qingshan harnessed the ox cart and drove it without saying a word, heading to the provincial capital with Mo Rao.

Arriving in the city, I first visited the carpenter's shop. Two large wooden boxes were already made. They were placed at the door, making them very conspicuous, making it hard to miss them.

When the master saw the people coming, he knew they were here to pick up the goods.

He immediately stepped forward and greeted her warmly, "Young lady, your item is ready. Our craftsman worked day and night and finally finished it this morning. Take a look and see if you like it."

The guy didn't seem to be lying when he said that. Just look at the dark circles under his eyes, and it doesn't seem fake.

Mo Rao carefully looked through it and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with it, so he took out the remaining silver.

The clerk took the money, confirmed the amount was correct, and handed it to the shopkeeper beside him.

The shop assistants worked together to lift the large wooden box onto the oxcart. The space on the oxcart suddenly became crowded. There was barely enough space for two people.

After securing the large wooden box with ropes, Mo Rao and the other man sat on the ox cart and drove away.

After Mo Rao and his sister left, the carpenter's shop assistant asked curiously: "Master, what do you think they are making? I looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand it."

Why do you need me to understand it? It's not yours. Don't say you don't understand it, your master didn't understand it in his entire life.

We are just carpenters. Who cares what they are making? It has nothing to do with us anyway.

That’s right, the guy said with a silly smile.

Mo Rao arrived at the blacksmith shop. When the blacksmith saw the person coming, he shouted inside, "Master Yang, come and pick up the goods."

After he finished speaking, Yang the blacksmith came out of the iron foundry.

"Girl, your stuff is ready. I'll go get it right away." Without waiting for Mo Rao to say anything, he went back to the ironworks. When he came out, he was holding a large pile of parts.

A pile of parts were placed on the table, making a clanging sound.

Mo Rao stepped forward and counted them. She confirmed the number was correct. The surface of the parts was also polished to a very smooth finish.

After confirming that there was no problem, he took out the silver and said, "Master Yang, this is the remaining twenty-five taels."

Blacksmith Yang took the silver and looked at it. After confirming the amount was correct, he helped Mo Rao load the parts onto the ox cart.

Mo Rao simply threw all these parts into the wooden box.

Girl, when will you be able to assemble this thresher completely? Would it be convenient for me to come and see it?

Of course, this isn't a secret. If you're interested, come to Mojia Village tomorrow afternoon and look for Mo Daqiang's house. That's my home, and you'll see it more clearly then.

Blacksmith Yang's eyes lit up after hearing this. He had been curious about the functions of these parts when he was making them these past two days.

Now that I have a close observation, I am naturally very excited.

Fine, as long as the girl's family doesn't find me a bother. I'll be there tomorrow.

Okay, Master Yang, you won’t be disappointed if you come over tomorrow.

After saying that, Mo Rao and Mo Qingshan drove away in an ox cart.

Mo Rao, left for a while? A figure in the dark flashed by.

Before leaving, Mo Rao went to a cosmetics shop. Ancient rouge and powder all contained lead powder. So if you wanted to buy lead, you had to go to a cosmetics shop.

The shopkeeper saw a girl in the shop and assumed she was buying rouge and powder. He then began recommending products to Mo Rao. Mo Rao looked carefully and saw several particularly beautiful lip balms. How much would this and that cost?

The shopkeeper looked at the directions Mo Rao pointed and said, "Five cents of silver per box. Two boxes for one ounce of silver?" Okay, pack these two boxes for me.

“Okay! Please wait a moment, girl,” the shopkeeper said with a bright smile.

Then Mo Rao pointed to a box of powdered powder and asked, "How much is this?"

The shopkeeper said: This box costs two taels of silver.

Oh! Is it so expensive? I didn't expect this lead powder to be so expensive. Using too much of it is not good, it's poisonous. But Mo Rao didn't want to say it, so she could only think about it in her mind. Do you have lead for sale here? Mo Rao then asked.

When the shopkeeper heard Mo Rao's question, he guessed that she might have seen what was inside. He said directly: "I'm sorry, young lady, we sell rouge and powder here, not lead."

Mo Rao then said: Two taels of silver.

This…

Finally, the shopkeeper couldn't bear to give up the business, so he sold some lead powder to Mo Rao.

This lead powder is the key to making magnetic wheel butter. It is indispensable.

After buying the things, I went straight home.

In the abandoned woodshed in the backyard of the Fucheng Flower House, a man in a black nightgown knelt on one knee.

Report to the master, I have been observing Mojia Village for several days.

This eldest daughter of the Mo family was indeed a native of Mojia Village, and did not seem like someone sent from there.

So, what's so unusual about this girl? Li Lingye stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky through the woodshed window. His question seemed casual. But what was truly going on inside, only Li Mingyue knew.

This girl... If there's anything unusual about her, it certainly is. I once saw this Mo family's eldest daughter single-handedly take down over a dozen men. Her figure was lightning-fast. Her eyes were like a hawk's. Someone with such a sharp gaze and agile agility didn't look like someone who relied solely on brute force. She looked more like a well-trained assassin.

Almost everyone in Mojia Village knew that the eldest daughter of the Mo family had been as strong as an ox since she was a child.

Although the eldest daughter of the Mo family was as strong as an ox, everyone in the village knew she was as lazy and stupid as a pig. She did nothing all day. She couldn't do anything else, so she tricked her two younger sisters into doing the work. It was said that she never even washed clothes; her two younger sisters did it all for her.

It is said that the eldest daughter of the Mo family was switched. However, my subordinates do not believe this is the case.

This person is indeed lazy. Really lazy. He doesn't get out of bed until the sun is high in the sky. He doesn't cook or do laundry. All of these are true.

But there was one thing that was different from what I had heard: this man was not as stupid as a pig.

Instead, her mind was very active. She bought some moldy clothes at a low price from a cloth shop.

Then I picked some soap clips from the mountain.

Use those soapberries to wash moldy clothes and make them look brand new.

He made a lot of money from that batch of clothes.

Their family had gone from being unable to make ends meet to splitting up. After the split, they not only built two houses but also bought 50 acres of fertile land and a two-story restaurant. All of this money seemed to have been earned by the eldest daughter of the Mo family.

It seems that this girl is indeed smart. As long as she is not someone sent by the other side, there is no need to worry about her.

As long as she wasn't from that side, he could let her go. He had already tricked her once with the blood ganoderma last time. This was considered as compensation for her sleeping with him.

You don't need to keep an eye on her for the time being. Return to the capital tomorrow and investigate Tao Liniang. She might be a potential source of inspiration.

Yes, master.

Let's go back!

Yes, my lord. I will take my leave.
