The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 503: Threshing Machine

Translator: Lonelytree

Lin yuelan smiled faintly and said, ” Uncle, you only see the part about it that is expensive, but not its value? For example, the weather. We all know that the weather is hard to predict. It might be sunny today, but it might rain tomorrow. It might rain for a few days at once. If you don’t thresh the cut rice and let them pile up, I believe you know what the consequences are.

“As a result, the grains would sprout and grow moldy. In this way, half a year’s hard work would be in vain. Not only would it be in vain, but if the tax was not paid, the whole family would have no food, right?

“However, with this threshing machine, as long as you harvest the rice on the same day, you can completely thresh it. Everyone, look at my family’s five mu of land. I can confidently tell everyone that in just one day, all the rice can be threshed, and tomorrow, all the rice can be pulled out to dry!”

Lin yuelan was clearly promoting her products.

Of course, what Lin yuelan had said was the truth.

After hearing Lin yuelan’s words, everyone started to think about it.

Thinking about it, the weather was the most unpredictable thing when harvesting rice. It was very likely that the sun was up in the morning and the weather was gloomy in the afternoon.

In the event that the rice was not threshed, then it could grow moldy and sprout.

Without this half a year’s harvest, they would not be able to pay taxes. If they did not pay taxes, they might have to be forced to do labor. If these strong men were gone for three years, what would happen to the family’s fields without them?

In that case, thirty taels were really not expensive.

Zhou Shu nodded and then asked nervously, “Miss Lin, can you make one for our Zhou Family Village? ”

Lin yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked, ” can you make decisions for the Zhou Family Village? ”

Zhou Shu nodded and said, ” sure. My father is the village chief of the Zhou Family Village!” Zhou Shu introduced his identity.

Lin yuelan was a little curious. The Lin family Village chief’s eldest son was thick and honest. The Zhou Family Village chief’s son also looked like this. Were the chief’s sons all big and thick?

Of course, Lin yuelan was only complaining in her heart.

She nodded and said, ” as long as you don’t have any 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 wouldn’t let go of anything that could make money.

This threshing machine only used iron to make gears, which required some capital. The fuel and tung oil also required some capital. The wooden boards were transported directly from the back mountain without any cost. Adding the labor costs and so on, the total cost was less than two taels of silver.

She had sold it for 30 taels and earned 28 taels, but Lin yuelan didn’t feel guilty at all, because this item was worth the price.

“But how long can this threshing machine be used?” Zhou Shu asked worriedly. After all, such an expensive item could not be used for only half a year. If the machine couldn’t be used again during the next year’s harvest, it would not be worth it.

Lin yuelan replied, ” at least ten years. I can guarantee that it can be used for more than ten years. If there are any problems during the first three years of use, I can repair them for free. But after three years, if there are any problems and problems, you’ll have to pay for the repair fees. Of course, I won’t ask for an outrageous repair fee. I’ll only charge according to the actual size of the problem!”

Lin yuelan finished her words in one go.

These words shocked the others.

Ten years?

She even promised to repair it for free for the first three years.

Such a good thing?

In that case, thirty taels for a piece was equivalent to three taels of silver a year. And these three taels of silver were spread out among every family, which was simply a matter of dozens of Wen. It was really not expensive.

When Zhou Shu got this answer, he was even more ecstatic. He laughed loudly and said, ” that’s great!”

After saying this, he immediately looked at the basket with the small sickle.

“Can you sell me a few of these small Sickles?” After trying out the use of the small sickle, Zhou Shu naturally wanted one since he had to harvest his own rice first.

It was a small gear sickle. At first glance, it was not a complicated thing. If he took it to the blacksmith’s shop, those Masters would definitely be able to make it.

Therefore, Lin yuelan didn’t think that this thing could be sold for money. However, since he asked, Lin yuelan said generously, ” you’re the second customer of the threshing machine, so I’ll give you a discount. I’ll give you three small sickles!” The first customer was, of course, Lin Yiwei.

When Zhou Shu heard this, he immediately said in joy, ” really? Thank you!”

Lin yuelan nodded. “two threshing machines. It will take a few days. How about this? Come to the Lin family Village to get the goods in five days!”

With so many people, they were experienced in making threshing machines. Other than the time needed to forge the gears, sawing wood and assembling the machines were not a problem.

Therefore, it was not a problem to get two threshing machines in five days.

After observing for half a day, everyone had figured out the use of these things. Their curiosity slowly faded. After all, it was the busy harvesting season now, and they still had work to do.

Hence, the crowd gradually dispersed.

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

In less than half a day, Lin yuelan had threshed all the rice in her field.

It really surprised everyone.

This was too unbelievable.

Guo Bing had been bending over for a long time while cutting the rice, so he got up and stretched his back. Then, he was immediately shocked by the situation in front of him. “How can they be so fast?”

When Guo Bing said that they were fast, he was referring to the speed of the threshing machine.

Guo Bing immediately turned to Doctor Zhang and said excitedly, ” Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang, isn’t this a little too fast? ”

This was a miracle.

Based on his understanding, threshing rice for a family of five would take three to four days. However, this thing only took half a day. It was too fast!

In the future, when this thing was promoted, the people of Long Yan Kingdom would have more time to do other farming work. Most importantly, they could harvest and thresh all the rice before the weather changed, which would greatly reduce the losses of the people.

Doctor Zhang also straightened his back. His wrinkled face was filled with joy as he repeatedly nodded. “not bad, not bad!”

It was unknown if he was praising the threshing machine or Lin Yuelan.

The onlookers were stunned for a long time. Then, their minds turned.

Five days later, their village would have a thresher. They had to rent it as soon as possible so that they could prepare their own harvest.

Just as Lin yuelan had said, she only used a day to harvest and thresh the rice. Once again, she surprised the people who had been paying attention.

As for the straw, it could be dried in the field and then stored to be used as grain for their own cattle.

By the time they had transported the grains and all the farm equipment back home, the sky had just turned dark.

Hearing that Lin yuelan had returned home, Lin Yiwei immediately came to find her.
