After the windmill was built, everyone realized how useful this thing was, and this was still the simplest version and could continue to be improved.
The old carpenter was pleasantly surprised, "Madam, you said I can make this windmill at will, do you really mean that?"
Lin Joy nodded, "Of course, I promised you, and I won't go back on it. How much does this windmill cost?"
Of course, the old carpenter is a person with plans. He has already obtained the drawings. What does the money for this windmill mean?
"It doesn't cost any money. I'll give this to my wife. No, just think that my wife and I bought the drawings and I got a big advantage."
Lin Xixi smiled and said, "That's great, I really won't give it to you."
The apprentices in the shop helped deliver the windmill to the home of the mother and daughter yesterday. The woman's surname was Liu. She didn't expect Lin Yuxi to come so late.
In fact, she didn't expect Lin Joy to come, so she thought it would definitely not work. Who could help with such a troublesome matter?
Mrs. Liu's husband has been locked up. She and her daughter are sifting the tea leaves little by little, and there are several neighbors coming to help.
"Madam, this is..."
Lin Joy said, "I'm here to help you. Put this in the house quickly."
Mrs. Liu nodded quickly, and when she put the windmill into the house, several people gathered around to look at it, wondering what it was.
Lin Yuxi patted the windmill and said, "Whether we can finish the work depends on this thing. It's too late today. You guys should rest first. We'll come back early tomorrow morning and show this to me."
Lin Yuxi remembered that the little girl said that her brother was responsible for this matter, but if something went wrong again, it was rare for her to take such trouble to help.
Mrs. Liu immediately said, "I will sit here and watch tonight. I won't go anywhere."
Lin Yuxi came back the next day, and Mrs. Liu had already decorated the room according to her requirements.
Lin Yuxi first put a bucket of wheat and tea mixture, turned the handle, and the wheat came out from below and fell into the basket below.
The tea leaves are blown out from the air outlet on the side and packed in sacks.
Ms. Liu and her daughter were stunned. In just a moment, they sifted through half of the basket. This was much faster than selecting them by hand, and the dust was blown away.
Lin Joy was quite satisfied with the effect and clapped her hands, "How is it?"
Mrs. Liu hurriedly wanted to kneel down for her, but Lin Yuxi held her in his arms, "That's not necessary."
"Thank you, madam, for the rescue. If it weren't for my wife, I'm afraid my man wouldn't be able to survive this time."
Lin Yuxi said, "It must be fate. Don't cry first. Finish the work first and hand over the things."
Two people from the neighbor's house came to help, and they worked together to separate the wheat and tea leaves in a long time.
"I'll screen the remaining ones myself and I should be able to hand them over tomorrow."
Mrs. Liu cried with joy, "Thank you, thank you so much. I really don't know how to thank you."
She remembered something and hurried to the house, "Madam, this is a reward from my husband. They are golden melon seeds. I will give you these as a thank you gift."
Mrs. Liu took two golden melon seeds, which showed her sincerity, but Lin Yuxi would not take them.
"No, I am my daughter and have a fate with your girl. Otherwise, we would have just walked over. Since it is fate, there is no need to worry about it."
Mrs. Liu worked hard for another half day in the afternoon and completely separated these two things.
When it was time to deliver the goods the next day, many people were waiting to see what Ms. Liu was going to do with the government officials. In the end, Ms. Liu actually handed over all the tea leaves.
"My lord, the things have been handed over as per your request. Can you please put my husband back?"
The government was also afraid that if the goods were not delivered, they would cause trouble. Now that they had inspected the goods, there were no problems. They did not bother to keep Liu Sheng's husband in prison, so they released him in the afternoon.
Liu's husband, named Wang Er, was also frightened this time. He thought he was dead and actually destroyed the goods delivered to the capital.
Who knew that his wife actually solved the problem and rescued him just like that.
"Madam, I'm back. I can finally come back. If it weren't for Madam, I'm afraid this time would be much worse."
Mrs. Liu cried and said, "Ms. sir, I was also frightened, but this time it's all the fault of my daughter. Let's go in and talk."
After returning home, Ms. Liu told her about the windmill given to her by Lin Yuxi, "With this, how else would we be able to separate hundreds of kilograms of tea so quickly? Fortunately, you are fine. Don't do such dangerous things in the future."
Now that we have a job, our family can live a good life."
Wang Er slapped his thigh, "The traitor, it's all that traitor's fault. If it hadn't been for him, where would there have been all these troubles?"
Mrs. Liu is Wang Er's second wife, and he also has a son from his first wife. Mrs. Liu is actually very good to the child, but as a child in his early ten years, when he is most sensitive, he always feels that his stepmother will bully him when he comes in.
.
He often caused troubles for the Liu family, but this time he actually harmed his father. He was frightened for a while and ran to his grandfather's house.
Mrs. Liu said, "Don't say that. He is not sensible yet. Just teach him slowly. But this time he really went too far. I will deal with him when he comes back."
Wang Er really doesn't plan to continue working as a businessman. Although he can earn some money, in the current environment, all the money earned has to be deducted by various officials. The money earned is frustrating.
He already had an idea, but he didn't plan to tell Wang Shi clearly, for fear that Wang Shi would be frightened.
…
Three days later, the door of Gongyuan opened.
Lin Hexi and Xiaoduo waited outside early. When they saw Chen Zhongqian, Xiaoduo jumped up and down with joy, "It's daddy, daddy is out."
Chen Zhongqian saw them at a glance. Under the wall across the street, there were two figures, one big and one small. They were very familiar figures.
"How did you do on the exam?"
Chen Zhongqian just smiled and said nothing. Chen Zhongda said, "Sister-in-law, you did pretty well in the exam. Thanks to my eldest brother for helping us practice the questions."
Liu Zhaofei also said, "Me too, I did pretty well in the exam. Zhong Qian should have done better."
Lin Hexi said with a smile, "As long as you do well in the exam, go back to the inn and get ready for repairs tomorrow."
In the evening, Lin Yuxi used the inn's kitchen to cook some delicious food for them. Several of them were locked up in the Gongyuan for three days, and each one of them was like a hungry wolf, wiping out the entire table of food.
The next two exams also went very smoothly. The exams were more difficult than before. Chen Zhongqian felt that they were almost the same. Chen Zhongda and Liu Zhaofei had to put more thought into it.
After the three exams were over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, at least this matter was completed.
Chen Zhongda said with emotion, "I have studied hard for many years just for this present moment. I really don't know if it is worth it."
Liu Zhaofei said with a smile, "This is just the beginning. As for whether it is worth it, it is certainly worth it. Now that the world is so chaotic, we should work hard and be a good official."
The three of them looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.
