Chapter 180： sell threshing machine

Lin Lao Liu's question seems to be taken for granted.

First, because Lin Lao Liu and Lin Lao San are blood brothers after all, that is, Lin Yuelan's cousin, they are relatives and elders. Because of their seniority, they naturally want benefits.

However, hehe...

Lin Yuelan stared at him sharply, and bluntly refused, "No!"

Lin Yuelan's refusal made the crowd laugh out loud as they looked at the lively people.

Of course, such laughter is mostly made of ridicule.

Lin Laoliu felt that he couldn't hold his face anymore.

He is an elder, or Lin Yuelan's cousin, he asked for something to look up to her, but she refused so hatefully, making him laugh at everyone.

Lin Lao Liu immediately bluffed his face and said in a very bad tone, "Miss Lan, do you know who I am? I am your cousin, you are so disrespectful to your grandfather and elders, who taught you?"

Lin Yuelan's sharp eyes shot over immediately, and she said with a cold face, "Cousin? Humph, you also have to ask your third brother, do you recognize me as a granddaughter? Don't be selfish here by yourself. Recognized as my cousin.

Besides, if you really think it is my elder and my cousin, in these three years, can you take care of me with a grain of rice or give me a piece of clothing?

No, since that's the case, what right do you have to say that I disrespect my elders and you? Now if you want benefits, just call yourself my elder and my cousin, you are such a big face! "

What Lin Yuelan said was very rude, and it might even be said that it really fulfilled the statement of disrespect to the elders.

However, long is not kind, late is not filial.

Hearing Lin Yuelan's accusation, the people around were surprised.

Because no matter what happened in the past, it is really disrespectful and even less filial when Lin Yuelan speaks like this now.

People who are disrespectful and unfilial are despised and hated by everyone.

It's just that now Lin Yuelan knows how to farm and has the same new tools for busy farming.

This is very heartwarming for them.

It is more important to let their whole family not be hungry and get benefits than to condemn unfilial piety.

Therefore, at this moment, these people are not rude to Lin Yuelan, and no fools will scold them. Of course, those old guys who are still old and sell the old people realize that Lin Yuelan is too ignorant.

It's just that Lin Yuelan doesn't care what any of them think.

Lin Lao Liu was so annoyed by Lin Yuelan's words that he leaned back for a while. He pointed at Lin Yuelan angrily, and shouted angrily, "You bastard, you are disrespectful to the elderly and elders, and you will be struck by lightning!"

This is the retribution for scolding Lin Yuelan and being struck by lightning.

"Lin Lao Liu, shut up!" Lin Yiwei immediately became annoyed when he heard Lin Lao Liu scolding Lin Yuelan, "You also said that other people's children are not filial to their elders, and they don't look at yourself, do you look like an elder? Just because If you don't agree with each other, you will curse someone's child, and you will be embarrassed."

But to be honest, a discerning person can see at a glance that this forest is obviously protecting Lin Yuelan and favoring Lin Yuelan.

Of course, because of the interests involved, no fool has pointed it out now.

Lin Lao Liu was also very angry in an instant, his face was blue, and he cursed at Lin Yiwei, "Lin Yiwei, it was this girl who disrespected me first, so you just ignore the facts? Don't you think it's unfair?"

Lin Yuelan sneered and said, "Fair? Sixth Lord Lin, what kind of fairness do you want? Is it fair to ask me to give what I have with both hands? But, Sixth Lord Lin, why do you want me to give my own things? For you? Could it be that if you have any good things in your family, you can’t share it with everyone? However, I remember that your family killed a pig the day before yesterday, and the other villagers have never seen a single pig’s hair in your family!”

"Pfft!"

Someone immediately laughed.

Someone from Linjia Village echoed, "No, his family killed a pig weighing more than 200 catties. He thought he would invite everyone to a pig feast, but in the end, we didn't even see a single pig's hair."

According to some customs in the village, when a family kills a pig, they will keep some parts of the pig that are not easy to sell, and invite everyone to have a meal. The more generous family will burn some fat.

Like Lin Laoliu and Lin Laosan, two brothers, they often kill pigs without inviting everyone to a pig feast. When they go to other people's houses for a pig feast, they are the ones who bring their family along, who come the fastest and eat the most. .

Many people did not say anything on the surface due to the affection between the village, but they were secretly uncomfortable.

Now that a child pointed it out, everyone immediately felt the same as the enemy. You said something to me, saying that they were wrong.

"Hehe, his family is like this every year, and you still want to eat his pigs. How fantastic are you." This joked.

"Hey, you said how thick-skinned this is. You hide your own things, but go to other people's houses to eat and drink."

...

Ru Chendan said that Lin Yuelan said he was fine, but all the villagers who came here sneered at him, and Lin Laoliu couldn't bear his old face anymore. He glared at Lin Yuelan fiercely, and hummed at her, "Humph!" Then, he walked away sullenly.

He really had no shame to stay and listen to these villagers mocking and despising him.

Lin Laoliu left, as for anyone here, it's not a big problem. On the contrary, they think it's better for Lin Laoliu to leave, so that he won't make any more rude words, completely offend Lin Yuelan, and then let her take anger on them and let her They can't get any benefits for Lin Yuelan.

Human nature tends to pursue its own interests, perhaps it has become an instinct.

In the face of interests, any unpleasant and uncomfortable feelings can be put aside and a common alliance can be reached.

Lin Changfeng from Linjia Village looked at the threshing machine, suppressed his excitement, rubbed his hands together, and asked shyly and cautiously, "Girl, your threshing machine looks really useful, you can borrow it from my house. Do you use it? Oh, no, I'll rent it, I'll rent it, okay?"

This time, if their hearts lit up, they immediately looked at Lin Yuelan with the light of hope. Of course, they hoped that Lin Yuelan could agree.

Even Lin Yiwei's mind moved when he heard the rent a threshing machine.

It is true that one's own things are used for nothing, no one wants it, and I feel uncomfortable, but using a method to get some rewards, why not?

However……

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "No way!"

Hearing Lin Yuelan's refusal, everyone including Lin Yiwei sank, and their eyes were secretly disappointed.

The usefulness of this threshing machine has already been put into practice. Of course, I hope that my family will not be so tired. The most important thing is to harvest quickly. In this way, it will prevent the recovered rice from sprouting and moldy because it is too late to rub it down.

Therefore, it is inevitable for everyone to be excited about the threshing machine.

However, Lin Yuelan would neither borrow nor rent, which of course disappointed them in their hearts.

"However, I can create another one!" Just when everyone was disappointed, Lin Yuelan immediately said this.

Everyone's disappointed eyes flashed again.

Just, recreate one, what does this mean?

Lin Yiwei is Lizheng, and at the same time has the best relationship with Lin Yuelan, he asked, "Girl, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Yuelan said, "It's me who rebuilt a threshing machine, sold it to you, Grandpa Lizheng, and then rented it to everyone. Whoever wants to use it will rent it from you. Do you think this is okay?"

Her current threshing machine will never be rented or rented. She hates others touching her things.

Lin Yiwei reacted immediately, nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, of course!"

When the villagers in Linjia Village heard that Lin Yuelan had built a new one and sold it to Lizheng, they were also excited.

Renting this threshing machine from Lin Yuelan is really not as good as renting this threshing machine from Xiangli. After all, they are somewhat taboo towards Lin Yuelan.

"Miss Lin, how do you sell this threshing machine?" Zhou Shu from Zhoujia Village immediately asked.

Linjia Village has a threshing machine, but they are unlikely to go to Linjia Village to rent a threshing machine, so the best way is that Zhoujia Village also has a threshing machine.

"Thirty-two!" Lin Yuelan said.

"Hey!" After listening to thirty-two, everyone gasped, this is too expensive!

"It's too expensive. Thirty-two can buy a cow!" Immediately, some people started talking.

Although this threshing machine is fast in threshing and threshing, it can't charge sky-high prices.

Zhou Shu frowned, thought for a while, and said, "This is too expensive!"

Lin Yuelan looked at everyone's expressions and knew that everyone was unlikely to accept such a price. After all, for them, for thirty taels, they can buy a calf, two acres of high-quality fields, three acres of middle-level fields, and six acres of low-level fields. It is not as good as asking them to pay these thirty taels. I'm a little tired and rub it with my hands.

Lin Yuelan smiled lightly and said, "This uncle, have you only seen its expensive place, but not its value? For example, the weather, we all know that the weather is not very predictable, it is sunny today. , it may rain tomorrow for several days, but you don't know the situation, so the rice you cut has not been threshed, stored, or is not easy to store, so it is piled up like this, I believe you also know that this is What's the consequence?

As a result, the millet sprouted and moldy. As a result, half a year's hard work was all in vain. Let's not talk about it, the tax can't be paid, and the whole family has no food, right?

But with this threshing machine, as long as it is cut on the same day, it can be all threshed. For example, let's take a look at my five acres of land. I can tell you with confidence that in just one day, all these rice can be threshed. , you can pull them all out for the sun tomorrow! "

If anyone is here, there must be some shame.

This Lin Yuelan is obviously selling something. First, there are no disadvantages of this product before, and then, after using these products, it will fool people.

Of course, here, what Lin Yuelan said is true.

As soon as Lin Yuelan's words came out, everyone thought about it seriously.

Think about it, too, when harvesting rice, the weather is the most unexpected thing. It is very likely that it will be sunny in the morning and cloudy in the afternoon.

In case, because the rice is not threshed, but cut off, it can only wait for mold to sprout.

In this way, what is less is not the income of the past six months, but the food and clothing of the whole family. Without this half-year's harvest, there is no way to pay the tax. If you don't pay the tax, it is possible to bring your own strongmen to serve corvée and deduct the tax. After the strongmen have been gone for three years, and there are no strongmen, what will happen to the family's fields?

In this way, out of thirty-two, it is really not expensive.

Zhou Shu nodded, and then asked nervously, "Miss Lin, can you make one for our Zhoujia Village?"

Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can you make the decision about Zhoujiacun?"

Zhou Shu nodded and said, "Yes. My father is Lizheng from Zhoujia Village!" Zhou Shu introduced his identity.

Lin Yuelan was a little curious. Lin Mingqing, the eldest son of Lin's village, was handsome, simple and honest, and the son of Zhou's village also looked like this. Is it Lizheng's son? Is it big and three thick, with a big waist and a bearish back?

Of course, this is Lin Yuelan just complaining in her heart.

She nodded and replied, "As long as you have no scruples about me, I can make one for you!"

She told them so much, of course, to sell the threshing machine.

Of course, Lin Yuelan will not let go of things that can make money.

This threshing machine only makes gears and uses iron, which requires some cost, plus the fuel and tung oil, which also requires some cost. The wooden boards are shipped directly from the back mountain, and there is no cost, plus labor costs, Waiting for it to add up, the total cost is less than two taels of silver.

She sold thirty taels and earned a full twenty-eight taels, but Lin Yuelan had no regrets and no sense of guilt, because this thing was worth the price.

"Just how long does this threshing machine last?" Zhou Shu asked worriedly. After all, such an expensive thing can't be used for only half a year, and the next year's harvest will not be used, which is a bit uneconomical.

Lin Yuelan replied, "At least ten years. I can guarantee that it can be used for more than ten years. If there are some faults in the first three years of use, I can repair them for free, but after three years, if there is a problem, I will repair it. When the time comes, the maintenance cost will be incurred. Of course, I will not ask for a high price for this maintenance cost, but only based on the actual size of the problem!"

Lin Yuelan finished her words at once.

This sentence gave the others a shock.

ten years?

Guaranteed free maintenance for the first three years?

Such a good thing?

In this way, thirty taels of silver is equivalent to three taels of silver a year, and if these three taels of silver are spread out on each family, it is simply a matter of dozens of yuan, which is really not expensive.

Zhou Shu was even more ecstatic when he got such an answer, he laughed loudly, "That's great!"

After saying this, his eyes immediately turned to the basket with the small sickle.

"Then can you sell me a few of these little sickles?" Having tried the use of the gear sickle, Zhou Shu was of course the one who wanted to save trouble.

The gear is a small sickle, and it is not a complicated thing at first glance. If you take it to the forge, those masters will definitely be able to make it.

Therefore, Lin Yuelan never thought that this thing could be sold for money, but when people spoke, Lin Yuelan said generously, "You are the second customer of the threshing machine, I will give you some discounts, and I will give you three The gear is small and not the sickle!" The first customer, of course, was Lin Lizheng.

When Zhou Shu heard this, he immediately said happily, "Really? Thank you!"

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Two threshing machines will take a few days, so let's go to Linjia Village to get the goods in five days!"

There are so many people who already have experience in making threshing machines, except that it takes some time to make iron gears, saw wood, and assemble them, it is not a problem.

So, in five days, two threshing machines are not a problem.

As for the blacksmith shop, it seems that more money is needed.

Everyone watched for a long time, and they also figured out the purpose of these things, and their curiosity gradually retreated. After all, it is the busy harvest season, and they are still busy.

Therefore, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Of course, there were still some people, but their eyes were still eagerly staring at the threshing machine.

In less than half a day, Lin Yuelan's one mu of land had all been threshed.

Really surprised a bunch of people.

This is incredible.

Guo Bing bent for a long time to cut the rice, got up and stretched his waist, and then was immediately taken aback by the situation in front of him, "Aiya, my dear mother, they are chasing too fast!"

When Guo Bing said they were chasing fast, he meant that Lin Yuelan was pulling the threshing machine to thresh the grain.

The current situation is that the threshing machine is just two rows ahead of him. When the threshing started, they cut most of the rice.

Guo Bing immediately said excitedly to Doctor Zhang beside him, "Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang, isn't this too fast?"

It's a miracle.

According to what he knew about threshing rice, it might take three or four days for a family of five people per mu of land, but this thing takes less than half a day, which is too fast!

In the future, if this thing is popularized, the people of Longyan Kingdom will be able to spend more time doing other farm work. The most important thing is that they can harvest and threw all the rice before the weather changes. But it will be greatly reduced.

Doctor Zhang also straightened his waist, with a wrinkled face, but with uncontrollable joy, he nodded again and again, "Yes, yes!"

I don't know if he praised the threshing machine or that they were the rice grinders and the speed.

The onlookers froze for a long time in surprise, and then their minds changed.

Five days later, there was also a threshing machine in their village. He must rent it out as soon as possible, and take back his own rice.

Sure enough, as Lin Yuelan said, it only took them one day to cut the rice and thresh it, which once again surprised those who had been paying attention.

As for these straws, they can be dried in the fields for a while, and then stored and used as fodder for their own cattle.

It was just dark when they brought the millet and all the implements home.

Hearing that Lin Yuelan had returned home, Lin Yiwei immediately found her.
