He Yufeng could not help but say in surprise, “I’ve never seen this before.” Su Li snickered in her heart. It would be strange if he had seen it before!
Su Li told He Yufeng her plan. “Your body hasn’t recovered yet, so you can’t continue going up the mountain. By the time your body recovers, it will be winter. At that time, there would not be any prey for you to hunt. I think you know some carpentry skills. Why don’t we make some toys to sell?”
He Yufeng nodded and felt that Su Li’s idea was good. “I’ll listen to you.”
Su Li took the blueprint and began to explain it to He Yufeng in detail. She even told him something he had to pay special attention to. “You have to pay attention to this bearing shaft when you make it…
He Yufeng looked at the blueprint. Coupled with Su Li’s explanation, he immediately felt that this thing was not as simple as it looked. The 26 small squares could be rotated, and they were still connected and would not dissipate. He had to be careful when making them.
“Do you understand?” Su Li asked.
He Yufeng put down the blueprint in his hand and nodded. “I roughly understand. I won’t know the details until I try it myself.”
This was the first time he had come into contact with these things. They looked very ingenious. With his skills, he really did not know if he could make them.
Su Li nodded and said, “Try it first. If you can make it, let the children play with it first. If there’s no problem, you can mass produce it and sell it.”
He Yufeng noticed the blueprints at the side. He pointed at the blueprints and said, “These look much simpler.”
Su Li smiled and said, “This is naturally simple, but the simpler the thing, the easier it is for others to imitate it. Therefore, we still have to make something more difficult. Moreover, if others can’t imitate it, our reputation will be spread.”
Without the blueprint she had drawn, it was useless if others studied the Rubik’s Cube to its core.
He Yufeng smiled and said, “That’s true.”
He did not expect his wife to have so many ideas.
After receiving the blueprint, He Yufeng immediately started working.
When He Qingyao and He Qingmu saw that He Yufeng was busy, they curiously surrounded him.
“Father, what are you doing?”
He Yufeng did not stop what he was doing and explained patiently, “I’m making a Rubik’s Cube. I’ll let you play with it when it’s done.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu did not know what the Rubik’s Cube was, but when they heard that it was them, they could not help but look forward to it. The brothers flattered, “Father, you’re so awesome! You really know everything. ”
“Daddy is the most powerful person in the world. Even Goudan’s father is not as powerful as you.”
Su Li pursed her lips at the side and exposed him mercilessly. “I drew this blueprint. Without my blueprint, your father wouldn’t have been able to make this at all.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu blinked. They glanced at Su Li and then at He Yufeng. Then, they pouted and said, “Anyway, Daddy is the most powerful person!”
Su Li pinched their little faces and said, “Alright, alright, alright. If you say he’s the best, he’s the best.”
At this moment, Chen Xiang’s voice sounded from outside the courtyard.
“Sister, are you back?”
Before Su Li could say anything, Chen Xiang pushed the door open and entered. When she saw Su Li, her face lit up with a smile.
“Sister, it’s really you. You’re finally back.”
Chen Xiang looked so excited that people who didn’t know better would think that her man had returned.
Su Li smiled and nodded at her. “Sister.”
Chen Xiang said excitedly, “I’ve missed you so much these days.”
Su Li teased, “Does a day apart feel like three years?”
Chen Xiang was not embarrassed. She nodded and said, “It’s not just three years. I think it’s already four, five, six years.”
Su Li laughed out loud. “Haha, I’m back now!”
From the corner of her eye, Chen Xiang saw He Yufeng squatting in the courtyard. She pointed at He Yufeng excitedly and said, “Why, why is he standing up?
Wasn’t He Yufeng lying on the bed and unable to get out of bed?
These few days, when she was cooking for He Yufeng, her man, He Dahai, would wipe He Yufeng’s body and change his clothes. At that time, He Yufeng looked dispirited. How did he get out of bed in the blink of an eye?
Su Li glanced at He Yufeng, who was busy, and said, “Maybe I’m his medicine.
He was fine the moment he sees me.’
He Yufeng, who was making the Rubik’s Cube, paused. Can’t this woman be
more reserved?
Chen Xiang swallowed her saliva and did not believe Su Li’s words. However, she did not continue asking. This was someone else’s matter, and it was not good for her to ask too much.
Chen Xiang chatted with Su Li for a while before asking Su Li when she could start work. Su Li gave her the same answer as Zhou Yu and asked her to go back and wait. She would inform her in advance when work started.
Chen Xiang was a little disappointed. She thought that she could start working for Su Li when she returned. After all, she could earn 80 copper coins a day. She could use that 80 copper coins to do a lot of things.
He Mingshan was also at the age where he should attend school. In the past, it was fine if his family did not have the money to send him to school. After all, their ancestors could not read and still lived well. However, ever since she saw Su Li teaching He Qingyao and He Qingmu how to read and write, her thoughts had changed.
Ordinary people like them could only rely on literacy to make a name for themselves. If they could not become a top scholar, they could still find a good job when they were literate. Otherwise, they could only stay in this mountain nest for the rest of their lives.
Su Li could tell that Chen Xiang was disappointed. She thought for a moment and said, “Sister, I have some chili seedlings here. Do you want to take some back to plant? As long as you plant them, I’ll think of a way to help you sell them.”
Chen Xiang’s eyes lit up when she heard her words. “Really?”
Su Li nodded and said, “Yes, you have to plant it quickly. Otherwise, you won’t be able to plant it when the weather turns completely cold.”
Her chili were all modified varieties. They were cold-resistant and drought-resistant, and their growing cycles were especially short. Most importantly, the harvest rate was extremely high. This was also why Su Li could continue planting after the autumn harvest.
Chen Xiang immediately agreed. “Then sell some chili seedlings to me. I’ll take them back and plant one. If I can sell them for money, I’ll thank you properly.” Su Li smiled and said, “There’s no need to thank me. It’s good that I can help you.”
Su Li brought Chen Xiang to the backyard. She pulled out some chili seedlings that she had cultivated for Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang looked at the chili seedlings on the ground and said, “Sister, look at how much these cost. I’ll give them to you.”
Su Li didn’t say that she didn’t want money. After all, one wouldn’t cherish what she gets for free. Moreover, she planned to sell chili seedlings to everyone in the future.
She thought for a moment and said, “How about this? It’s your first time planting, so I’ll support you. Just give me 20 copper coins.”
These twenty copper coins were really not much. In the future, she planned to sell them tor one copper coin per chili seedling. Chen Xiang had more than a hundred of them in her hands.
Chen Xiang took out 20 copper coins from her pocket and handed them to Su Li. “Don’t cook tonight. Come to my house to eat. You’ve helped me so much, but I haven’t treated you to a meal..”
