Chapter 16: The Ladies

o money to spend, no food to eat, they can only borrow money from them, sell their land!"Now that everyone has money, they won't sell their land. I'm the one who blocked their path to riches.""What ar...At the sight of the grinding wheel spinning, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.

Besides the hired laborers brought by Yang Lin, there were also many villagers who came to watch the excitement by the riverbank.

There were many people present, but at this moment, there was only silence. All that could be heard was the sound of rushing water.

The scene before me is truly shocking and unbelievable!

In the past, mills either relied on human power or animal power to operate.

But this one, all it did was make a big wheel, and as a result the grinding plate just started spinning on its own!

Doesn't it rotate on its own without manual pushing

Before today, who could have imagined.

This is amazing!

"My goodness, this speed is even faster than a donkey grinding corn!"

"More than just fast, it's insanely fast."

And judging by this, it seems to be able to work day and night!

The villagers were all amazed.

And when Yang Lin's women saw this, they were even more excited.

With this, is that 4,300 block of tofu still a problem

They have been grinding for several days, and they know exactly how slow the grinding process is.

Now, this watermill operates at a speed that is two or three times faster than what they could achieve by hand-grinding. And most importantly, this watermill never gets tired; it can work tirelessly day and night.

"Let's get started!"

Before everyone could recover from their excitement, Yang Lin gave the order.

Pouring the soaked beans into the water mill, finely ground soybean milk soon flowed out, filling the wooden tub. Then it was poured into a large pot already set up nearby, and water was boiled and the slurry was cooked...

The whole process of making tofu has been arranged step by step in a streamlined manner by Yang Lin, so everyone only needs to complete their own part, and then the whole process can run perfectly.

This way, each step is just simple, easy to learn, and repetitive work. Everyone will find it not tiring to do, and efficiency is maximized.

In just half a day's worth of transformation, this vacant lot along the riverbank had already become a rudimentary tofu workshop.

Amidst the bustling heat, the first dish of tofu was quickly prepared!

Witnessing this lively scene, Li Yuyao had long forgotten her bet with Yang Lin. All that remained in her heart was excitement.

In this moment, only two words can describe her feelings.

Perfect!

Yes, that's perfect!

More than thirty people, not only was there no chaos, everyone had their own things to do. Busy and orderly, although only twenty more people were added, the speed of making tofu surprisingly increased by five or six times compared to before!

But...

Li Yuxiang is still a little worried.

"In that case, you're essentially making the tofu-making technique public. Aren't you afraid of people stealing it and learning how to make it themselves"

Li Yuyao found Yang Lin and voiced her concerns.

Now, tofu is their only means of making a living. It's not only profitable but also has great development prospects.

Now, leaving his own courtyard, there are many villagers watching around. This method of making tofu is not difficult. Smart people just need to watch a few more times and they can learn it.

If more people know how to make tofu, then they will have no advantage in making tofu.

Yang Lin asked, "My wife, what do you think is the most important thing about making tofu"

"Huh"

Li Yuxiang thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up.

"Are you saying, stone water"

Li Yuxiang was quick-witted and immediately thought of the key point.

Yang Lin nodded. "That's right, the whole process is actually very simple and doesn't require any technical expertise. Even if we continue to hide in the small courtyard, it won't take long for people to learn how to make tofu.""The only thing that matters is this stone water, it's the key to making tofu!"

"Stone water is the core technique for making tofu. Without stone water, it's impossible to make tofu even if you learn the entire process."

"...and..."

Yang Lin grinned slyly: "Besides the core technology, making tofu is a process that's better shared than hidden."

What is called "stone water" is nothing but plaster. The key to preparing plaster is burning gypsum.

Gypsum's main component is calcium sulfate, but raw gypsum and calcined gypsum are quite different. Calcinating gypsum requires maintaining a specific temperature that cannot be too high, and the resulting suspension is then used...

These conditions alone, if Yang Lin did not disclose them, even after decades or even centuries, it is unlikely that anyone would be able to summarize them.

Yang Lin had already made up his mind.

How much money can you make from making tofu

He has bigger business!

Li Yuxiang was slightly taken aback.

Is public better

She chewed on the words, but still couldn't figure it out.

Yang Lin clearly didn't intend to explain, he just gave her a mysterious smile.

Li Yuyao immediately thought, at this rate, a day's time would indeed be enough to make 430 pieces of tofu.

So, in the bet with Yang Lin, if he wins, I have to willingly become his wife.

Although he is indeed quite talented, should I really become his woman

Court The whole world

All of this will be irrelevant to oneself.

In this life, I can only stay in this small village...

It's so unfair!

……

When Du Jinggang arrived in Kaoshan Village, he heard about what happened by the river and hurried to the riverbank.

Then, he saw a scene that would stay with him forever!

A hand grinder is spinning continuously, and all it takes is one person to effortlessly add coffee beans. The freshly ground coffee water then flows out gently.

Gazing at the water mill, Du Jing was dumbfounded. He was thoroughly shocked.

"Jing Ge."

It wasn't until Yang Lin greeted him that he came to his senses.

"Lin Di, are these all your work Tell me, how did you do this"

Du Jing grabbed Yang Lin's shoulders, shaking him vigorously, his eyes full of eagerness to know.

Seeing Du Jing's anxious appearance, Yang Lin finally felt relieved.

He is still that boy, unchanged.

Yang Lin said, "Jingge, these are just toys, they don't matter. I asked you to help me because there's something more important."

"What Not important No, no, no!"

Du Jing hurriedly shook his head: "Lin Di, you don't understand. Your design is truly ingenious! Replacing human power with water power is a brilliant idea, a great conception! It's taking the power of heaven and earth for oneself!"

Seeing his excited look, Yang Lin just smiled and shook his head nonchalantly. "I'm serious," he said. "This water wheel is nothing special. In the future, any properly built watermill will be several times faster!"

The water mill in front of me is too rough. The overall wooden structure has a very low power conversion ratio and is not solid enough. There is still a lot of room for improvement.

"Jing Ge, I asked you here because there's something really important!"

"Well, since you've just arrived today, there's no rush. Let me introduce you to my wives first," Yang Lin said.

Du Jing's face showed a strange expression.

My lady...s "This official doesn't know anything about black tigers or white tigers."No matter how many people were there, he wouldn't admit it."Oh"Yang Lin narrowed his eyes and walked forward.Zhong Tao opened...
