The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"Starting tomorrow, you will work non-stop around the clock to manufacture the gun barrel and the matching bolt. As for the other parts, I will arrange for Sun Yu and the others to make them!"

"By the way, how many sets can you make in a day?"

Blinked and nodded in response,

"Okay! Don't worry, with Xiao Ai's own hands-on ability, operating the lathe can guarantee a yield rate of over 99% for the finished product."

"Throwing in the daily recharging time, and running it 24 hours a day, we can produce at least 1000 barrels and bolts every day."

Qingfeng Li clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"it is good!"

"In short, do as much as you can! Otherwise, my fear of insufficient firepower will kick in again."

After thinking about it, he said,

"Forget it. I don't think we can make much gunpowder with the saltpeter we got back from the surrounding areas."

"Well, you make 5,000 sets first, and we'll arm our elite trained personnel first!"

Xiao Ai said without hesitation,

"alright, got it!"

Li Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, feeling that Xiao Ai's words seemed familiar to him before he traveled through time.

After making arrangements for Xiao Ai, she immediately went into the back hall to get busy.

Qingfeng Li picked up the tea, took a sip, and found it was a little cold.

He just wanted to open his mouth and call Xiangling.

But he suddenly remembered that he had left Xiangling in the backyard when he went out to inspect the arsenal.

He shook his head, then stood up and went into the yard.

……

Yangzhou City, in the Lin Mansion.

Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were walking in the garden, each of them followed by her own personal maid to serve them.

Xue Baochai was close to Lin Daiyu in every way, and the relationship between the two became very close in just one day.

The two girls walked hand in hand, admiring the flowers in the garden.

In a flower garden, Xue Baochai saw an orchid and her eyes immediately lit up.

He looked at Lin Daiyu in surprise and said,

"Sister Lin, may I ask what kind of orchid this is? It's the extremely rare 'Tao Baomei' in Yangzhou."

Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded slightly.

"Sister Bao has a good eye. This orchid is the 'Tao Baomei' variety among the Cymbidium orchids."

Xue Baochai couldn't help but praise,

"Sister Lin is truly a wonderful person. I have only seen some of these extraordinary orchids when I visited my uncle's house."

Then he asked in confusion,

"However, this orchid is usually only found occasionally in mountain streams and deep forests. This one in the flower garden still has new soil around it, as if it was planted not long ago?"

Lin Daiyu blushed slightly and said with a smile,

"Sister Bao is right. This orchid was given to me by a friend and was just transplanted here yesterday."

Seeing the girlish blush on Lin Daiyu's face, Xue Baochai secretly guessed in her heart that the person who sent the flowers must have a close relationship with Lin Daiyu.

He chuckled and said,

"Sister is truly a wonderful person. She even received such a precious orchid as a gift."

"Unlike me, who just helps with the household accounts all day, how could I have such a leisurely and elegant friend?"

Lin Daiyu was even more delighted when she heard this, but she said,

"Sister Bao, you're joking. I've heard that too. Sister Bao helps Aunt manage the huge family business at home. She's truly a woman who's as capable as any man!"

After admiring the flowers in the flower garden, Baoyu and Daiyu came to the rockery together.

When I saw the lush walnut tree in front of me,

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

Xue Baochai followed Lin Daiyu's gaze in confusion and found nothing but a walnut tree.

I couldn't help but be curious and asked,

"But I don't know why my sister is laughing?"

Lin Daiyu quickly came to her senses and looked around with her beautiful eyes.

"Oh, no, it's nothing."

However, those slightly evasive eyes and slightly red cheeks were not very convincing.

At the same time, Lin Daiyu had changed the subject.

"Sister Bao is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. I have a few books of poetry in my study. How about coming with me to take a look?"

Xue Baochai smiled and nodded.

"That's great! Before I left today, Mother told me to learn more from Sister Lin!"

Lin Daiyu smiled when she heard this, but didn't say anything more.

He knew that Xue Baochai was deliberately trying to get close to him, but he didn't feel uncomfortable, so he had a good chat with Xue Baochai.

At this moment, Aunt Rong suddenly walked out from behind the rockery with a letter in her hand.

He was about to speak when he saw the joy on Lin Daiyu's face.

However, when his eyes fell on Xue Baochai and her servant, he was slightly stunned.

Subconsciously, he stuffed the letter in his hand into his sleeve.

Bowed to Lin Daiyu.

"Meet Miss!"

Lin Daiyu was delighted and was about to ask if it was a letter from Brother Qingfeng.

But thinking of Xue Baochai and her servant beside her,

He suppressed his anxiety and nodded slightly to Madam Rong.

"Madame Rong, this is my cousin from Aunt Xue's family."

Aunt Rong hurriedly bowed slightly to Xue Baochai.

"Meet Miss Xue!"

Xue Baochai smiled and waved her hand,

"No need to be so polite, Ma'am. Please get up quickly!"

As he spoke, he turned and looked at Ying'er behind him.

Ying'er quickly took out a red envelope from her sleeve and handed it to Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai came forward with a red envelope and said,

"It's our first time meeting, Madam. Please have a cup of tea."
