Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

When Lin Yi returned to Niujia Village, the entire village was almost surrounded by flour.

The warehouse was full and the remaining flour had to be left out in the open air.

If it rains, that would be terrible!

Then, he discussed it with the village chief, and he didn’t expect that he would buy 3,000 kilograms of flour in just one day!

If all of them were made into pancakes, they would weigh at least 2,800 kilograms!

"Start working first and do as much as you can!"

"There's a huge demand for instant noodles!"

Lin Yi said this, tossing the fifty-liang silver note, "One hundred and fifty kilograms of instant noodles, I can earn fifty liang!"

Although it is not as good as woolen cloth, instant noodles are easier to make!

A pot of oil is kept boiling, and it can make at least more than 100 kilograms of flatbreads!

Immediately, the enthusiasm of the villagers was ignited, they divided the work and cooperated, and bags of flour were made into noodles.

After being divided according to quantity, they were sent to Lin Yi's yard.

At this moment, Lin Yi's yard was also very busy.

Everyone was trying their best to make the pancakes.

By the afternoon, Lin Yi's yard was finally full of space.

"Master, it's not a good idea to have so many people. How about we use the open space on the east side of the village?"

Xiaomei's words reminded Lin Yi.

There is no such thing as a fixed area now. As long as you build something on it, the land becomes the village!

Seeing that the dough was almost done, Lin Yi went to find the village chief.

"Village chief, I want to use the land east of the village to build a workshop for making instant noodles."

Lin Yi asked directly, "Will this be a problem?"

"The east side is all uninhabited wasteland, feel free to use it!"

The village chief greeted him with a smile. Since Lin Yi came, the villagers have no shortage of food and clothing, and have more money!

How could I not agree?

Not long after, the villagers who had stopped making instant noodles began to take action and add bricks and tiles to the land in the east.

In less than half a day, three simple walls and a roof were built.

The workshop is now usable!

After transferring the materials and tools, the villagers continued to make instant noodles inside.

Now the villagers have been divided into two groups. One group with a small number of villagers continues to make woolen cloth, while the other group with a large number of villagers is making instant noodles.

Everyone was busy and having fun.

"Xiaomei, please help me take care of these two businesses."

Seeing that the assembly line was complete, Lin Yi wiped the sweat from his head and made arrangements.

"Master, what are you going to make?"

Xiaomei knew from the look in Lin Yi's eyes that he was going to do something new.

"It's still a secret."

A mysterious smile crossed Lin Yi's lips. "By the way, make these woolen cloths into this shape."

As he spoke, he took out a sanitary napkin from his arms.

When Xiaomei saw the sanitary napkin, she couldn't stop looking confused.

"Master, what's new here?"

Although she didn't know it, she was deeply shocked.

"This is for you girls."

Lin Yi leaned close to Xiaomei's ear and told her how to use the sanitary napkin.

Xiaomei blushed immediately after hearing these words, "Master, you...you are so bad!"

She turned around and was about to hide, but was stopped by Lin Yi. "Next time, I'll take you to see a doctor. A girl's health is very important!"

Seeing Lin Yi so serious, Xiaomei felt less ashamed. "Master, I will let them do it, but... I won't tell you the effect, okay?"

Lin Yi frowned and pondered for a while, then finally nodded, "Well, it's a bit early to say that now."

Anyway, you can calculate how much you can make based on one meter of woolen cloth. The scraps can also be taken apart and made into woolen cloth again, so it's not a loss.

After everything was done, Lin Yi leaned back on the rocking chair in the room and thought about the bicycle.

As he thought about it, his hand involuntarily picked up the pen and started drawing.

A bicycle is a big project. To be durable, it has to be made of iron.

There also needs to be a furnace and a blacksmith...

While thinking about the method, he also had to consider the materials and craftsmanship.

Suddenly he scratched his head in pain, thinking, if only there were factories and machines!

After complaining, he continued to think.

He stayed indoors for two whole days, which scared the villagers.

"Master?"

Xiaomei was busy for more than a day before she returned home. When she entered the door, she saw Lin Yi standing by the stove with dark circles under his eyes.

I thought it was the smoke from the stove that blackened his eyes.

"Sit down, I'm going to get some sleep."

Lin Yi had dark circles under his eyes and turned to look at Xiaomei, looking a little dazed.

After a good sleep, I feel refreshed.

"Xiaomei, I need a lot of iron. How can I get it?"

This was Lin Yi’s first words after waking up.

"Master, this iron is only sold by the government!"

“And each person is limited to purchases!”

Xiaomei explained, still looking puzzled, "What does the young master need so much iron for?"

“What’s the limit per person?”

"How many pounds?"

Lin Yi did not answer the question, but continued to ask.

"It seems each person can only buy three pounds of iron per month!"

Hearing this, he suddenly had an idea.

If each person sells three pounds, then if everyone in Niujia Village sells together, wouldn’t we be able to get a lot of iron?

Lin Yi immediately went to discuss with the village chief.

"A lot of iron?"

The village chief frowned slightly. "Boss Lin, I'm not saying anything wrong. We can contribute to the large amount of iron, but if the court investigates, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

"It's okay, I'll handle it all by myself when the time comes!"

"It has nothing to do with Niujia Village."

After Lin Yi made this promise, he leaned closer and asked, "Is there anyone in the village who can be a blacksmith?"

"Yes, we do, but we don't usually need it, so he..."

The village chief shook his head in response, then looked at Lin Yi's anxious eyes and straightened his posture. "I'll take you to find Erniu."

He took Lin Yi all the way to the workshop on the east side of the village.

Erniu was busy frying fried dough cakes.

"Erniu, Boss Lin is looking for you!"

Hearing the village chief's call, Erniu handed over the work in his hands to another villager and trotted over.

"Boss Lin, what do you want from me?"

"Can you be a blacksmith?"

Lin Yi asked with some doubt.

"of course!"

Erniu patted his chest, revealing a confident look, "I repaired all the pots and kitchen knives in the village!"

"Okay, you take a rest first, and then I'll ask you to help with something else."

Lin Yi said, letting Erniu rest first.

"Everyone, stop for a moment!"

Then he shouted to the busy villagers.

"I need a lot of iron ore."

"Can you help me get some together?"

Hearing this, fear appeared on the villagers' faces.

What can a large amount of iron do?

rebel!

If it wasn't for making weapons or armor, how could such a large amount of iron be needed?

"Boss Lin, if you want to do business, we can follow you!"

"We dare not rebel!"

"Yes, Boss Lin, forget about buying iron..."

Immediately the villagers refused.

They cannot afford to be called a rebel!

There are only a few dozen people in the whole village, it’s not enough to rebel!

"Who said I was going to rebel?"

Lin Yi said seriously, "I just need a large amount of iron. Don't worry about the money, I will pay for it!"

But there was still fear on the faces of these villagers.

If you rebel, everyone will be punished!
