Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 784 Corn Shaking Machine

The next day, he got up and went to find his fourth brother and Li Cunshan to discuss this issue.

"It’s good to give work points like this, it makes the blacksmiths feel a sense of belonging." Li Yunqiang agreed as well.

Li Cunshan also agreed, so this matter was settled.

"Second Brother, will there be more corn shellers made today?"

"Yes, I’m just watching over it. Actually, I understand Xiao Wei’s intention in keeping the blacksmiths, it’s just that most people wouldn’t think of it.

Xiao Wei kept the blacksmiths, so in the near future, no one else will be able to make it."

"Second Brother, you can let Xiao Wei know that we can make enough for ourselves and sell the rest."

"This needs the approval of Xiao Wei and Old Yang, otherwise he wouldn’t agree."

Everyone understood this and went back home to eat.

After eating, Li Yungui went to the pesticide factory and saw Xiao Wei’s brothers helping out. Li Yungui understood Wei Kaiyun’s intention.

"Master Lu, can you make it today?"

"Village Chief Li is here? Yes, we should be able to make two machines."

"That’s great."

Li Yungui calculated in his mind that he wasn’t greedy, five units would be enough, and today they’ve assigned twenty-two people to handle the drying.

Preparing the public grain early made him feel at ease.

Seeing that he wasn’t needed there, Li Yungui went to find Wei Kaiyun.

"Xiao Wei, for the blacksmiths, should we give them wages or work points?"

Wei Kaiyun smiled, "Work points would be better. If he’s going to live here, work points are better."

"Got it, I know now.

By the way, are you planning for mass production of the corn shellers?"

"Yes, the brothers are idle now, so we might as well make more. Once I get what I need, we’ll sell them."

"Xiao Wei, the village will need five units. How much for each?" He noticed that they are entirely made of iron, which must have required considerable cost.

"I haven’t calculated yet, but this way is quite good. Although it’s for our village collective, the accounts are clear."

"I know. Once you figure it out, let me know, and I’ll have Yunqiang give you the money."

"Alright."

Li Yungui left happily. He got an accurate answer, and the corn shellers still belonged to the village.

By the afternoon, Li Yungui had pushed away one unit; in the evening, someone pushed away another.

In the middle of the night, Wei Kaiyun heard the sound of a truck and got up immediately, knowing it’s here to deliver coal. He went to call the twelve of them to help. Half was unloaded at home, the rest was taken to the pesticide factory. It was convenient for them to use for heating and forging.

Wei Kaiyun gave the driver 600 yuan. These accounts would be settled later.

After washing up, Wei Kaiyun saw his wife feeding their two kids.

"Did you buy another five tons of coal?"

"Yes, or it’ll be hard in winter."

The next day, the wheat yard was bustling with activity. In the afternoon, his youngest son came to find him. "Dad, the person from the bank came to see you, waiting at the brigade office."

Li Yungui went over immediately.

He got a positive answer that the bank was lending 10,000 yuan, urging him to handle the paperwork quickly.

"Thank you so much, comrade."

"You’re welcome, I didn’t do much. Since Village Chief Li is informed, I won’t stay long, or I’ll miss the bus."

"Comrade, have you eaten?"

"Yes, I have."

Eventually, Li Yungui rode a bike to see him off.

After returning, Li Yungui found Wei Kaiyun and mentioned the bank loan of 10,000 yuan.

"That’s good, it should be enough for circulation. Let’s go to the glass factory in our city tomorrow to order bottles."

"Xiao Wei, aren’t glass bottles too fragile? They’re too easy to break."

"They’re all chemical products and corrosive; plastic ones won’t do, only glass bottles are suitable.

We can order cardboard boxes, put a dozen bottles in one box, and add some wheat straw, handling them carefully will be much better. But the caps still have to be ordered from the plastic factory, otherwise, they won’t seal properly."

"Alright, we’ll just go to the bank and handle the paperwork tomorrow."

"You and the accountant go to the bank, let the Captain go with me to order the glass bottles."

"No one at home to watch over things isn’t good. You can just go yourself, can’t you?"

"Also works. We’ll leave together tomorrow. Tonight, I’ll borrow a car." Mainly to buy some jar bottles for his wife. She’s waiting to make chili sauce and hawthorn jars.

Wei Kaiyun directly rode to find Old Yang, brought the car back.

Lu Tiezhu was still leading them to make corn shellers. Delivering one machine to the wheat yard, the rest was sent directly home.

Jiang Xinyu knew they were going to the city tomorrow, and since her husband was going to buy jars for her, she was delighted. "Don’t forget the lids."

"I won’t forget."

Since they were getting jars, Jiang Xinyu and Sister-in-law Liu began peeling garlic. It’s the most tedious task.

Early the next morning, the Li Family Brothers came over.

"Village Chief Li, did you bring all the village procedures? Also your two household registration books and the official seal, bring everything."

"Need the household page too?"

"Of course, how else would you prove your identity, how would they give you the money?"

The brothers both went back to get them, and then the three of them set off.

Arriving in the city, they went straight to the bank, with Wei Kaiyun being called in as well.

When the three of them came out with 10,000 yuan, the Li Family Brothers felt like they were walking on air.

"Xiao Wei, carrying so much money, isn’t it dangerous?"

"No problem, you two stay calm, so no one will notice. It’ll be fine, when we get to the glass factory, I’ll get off, and you two stay in the car."

Wei Kaiyun drove straight into the glass factory, took out an introduction letter, and ordered a thousand glass bottles, each with a capacity of two catties.

He went outside to get 300 yuan from Li Yunqiang and paid in full. They provided the paperwork, and in a month, with the receipt, they could come to pick up the goods.

He bought 200 jars, and they even provided information on where to buy lids. Wei Kaiyun went and bought 200 jar lids as well.

He took the glass bottle sample to the plastic factory, discussed the requirements for the lids and requested a soft pad, enhancing the sealability.

He paid 50 yuan here too and received a receipt. They promised to give several extras in case of defects.

Wei Kaiyun got on the car and handed both receipts to Li Yungui.

The Li Family Brothers stayed in the car, and although Wei Kaiyun wanted to treat them to a meal, they both refused.

They were too worried; they had never held so much money before. It was a real test, so they decided to return home quickly.

Today, only the three of them knew about withdrawing the money, so once back, they had to hide it well.
