Chapter 510: Is it soft to touch? (Extra update)

Gu Yingzhou saw Jiu Wei lifting his clothes, his brows slightly furrowed, "...put your clothes down."

Don’t you see there’s a woman here?

Jiu Wei glanced at Lin Tang and hurriedly put his clothes down.

Scratching his head and blushing, he said, "Sister-in-law, sorry about that, I’m just used to it."

His eyes swept over to Gu Yingzhou, fearful that the boss might make things difficult for him.

In the middle of the day, he really didn’t want to be sent out to run laps.

Before Lin Tang could respond, Gu Yingzhou spoke up, "Let’s get started."

Eager to finish up and get out of the stuffy workshop.

"Okay!"

The three of them got to work.

Lin Tang stepped forward, intending to help, but Jiu Wei quickly stopped her.

"Sister-in-law, please rest, I’ve got this!"

Lin Tang: "..."

Gu Yingzhou gave Jiu Wei an approving look, then nodded.

"Jiu Wei is right, you just sit, we can handle it, don’t get your clothes dirty."

Having said that, he called Jiu Wei over and the two started to work.

Lin Tang saw that the two of them could handle it easily, so she wandered around, mainly looking for the machine and parts for making a reciprocating cam.

She hadn’t had time to tell Gu Yingzhou about this yet; she’d wait until he was free.

After Lin Tang had made her rounds, she had a plan in mind.

When she returned to the spot, Gu Yingzhou and Jiu Wei were finishing up.

Seeing her approach, Gu Yingzhou looked up and said, "We’re almost done."

Lin Tang: "I’m not in a hurry."

After speaking, she didn’t bother them and sat on the side waiting.

A moment later, the corn thresher was finally installed successfully.

Gu Yingzhou dusted off his hands, and before he could speak, Jiu Wei came over with a bag of corn.

"Boss, where should we test it?"

Lin Tang looked to Gu Yingzhou and interjected, "Why not at the entrance?"

It would get the whole workshop dusty.

When she came in, she seemed to have seen a socket right there.

Gu Yingzhou nodded, giving Jiu Wei a look, "Listen to your sister-in-law."

Jiu Wei snickered, worried that Lin Tang would feel embarrassed, quickly turned around with the machine and headed for the workshop entrance.

Lin Tang’s face reddened on the spot.

She was used to hearing Jiu Wei call her that and didn’t think much of it, but it was her first time hearing Gu Yingzhou say it that way, her heart almost went numb.

She stretched out her hand in annoyance to pinch someone’s waist.

But that person was all muscle, and her pinch had no effect.

Lin Tang: "..."

She couldn’t help but touch that strong waist again.

Gu Yingzhou was only wearing a tank top.

Through the thin layer of fabric, that firm, distinct hard texture... ahem, was amazing.

Gu Yingzhou glanced sideways at Lin Tang, his expression playfully asking, "Feels good, doesn’t it?"

Lin Tang withdrew her hand.

She pinched her ear and, with one hand, picked up a bag of corn, heading towards Jiu Wei.

Gu Yingzhou saw the delicate little girl, so fragile and weak, carrying with just one hand what is heavy even for a grown man—a large bag of corn—walking with an unrecognizable gait.

The corner of his mouth twitched for a moment.

He hurriedly stepped forward, taking the bag of corn from Lin Tang’s hand.

"Ancestor, be careful with your back."

As the bag of corn slipped from her hand, Lin Tang suddenly realized her outerwear had dropped to the ground, her face stiffening.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she took a big step and moved forward.

Gu Yingzhou thought she would say something to cover up the situation, but to his surprise, she showed no reaction at all.

A look of helplessness crossed his face, he shook his head, and followed with the bag of corn.

When the two reached the workshop entrance, Jiu Wei had already plugged in the thresher.

"Boss, the power is on, shall we give it a try?" he said with a face full of anticipation.

As a rural lad himself, he knew the nuisance of stripping corn by hand, and he was particularly excited to learn that the machine was for threshing.

Gu Yingzhou nodded, "It’s working."

Jiu Wei grinned widely.

He pressed the switch, and a burst of noise erupted.

Lin Tang picked up a few ears of corn and tossed them into the trough.

Clack clack bang bang—

The sound was quite noisy, so loud that technicians from other workshops couldn’t help but come out.

"What’s happening?"

Seeing that the machine really worked, Jiu Wei was almost ecstatic.

He ran back and forth on the road a couple of times, announcing loudly, "This is a thresher made by the Factory Director and his partner. Look, it can really thresh."

A group of technicians were surprised and quickly came over, "Indeed, it can!"

The next instant, as the occupational disease of being a technician kicked in, their eyes shone brightly at Gu Yingzhou.

"Factory Director, how much does this thresher cost to make?"

This question hit the nail on the head.

Jiu Wei was just a helper and didn’t know, so his eyes also turned to Gu Yingzhou.

Gu Yingzhou had made the thresher all by himself, so he knew the cost inside and out.

Without hesitating, he said, "A little over eight hundred."

Jiu Wei’s eyes widened, "Over eight hundred? Boss, is that for real?"

Over eight hundred wasn’t considered much, the brigades could afford it if they saved up a little.

Yet Lin Tang wasn’t so surprised.

This was a machine that had been repeatedly modified in later generations, naturally designed to be as simple and convenient as possible.

Gu Yingzhou glanced at Jiu Wei with a calm demeanor, and nodded with patience.

"Mhm."

What Jiu Wei could understand, a bunch of technicians as agitated as a hornet’s nest also got it.

These people immediately surrounded Gu Yingzhou.

"Factory Director, shall we add this to our business?" asked the person who inquired about the cost first.

After he asked, another person spoke up, "We don’t mind the hard work, we don’t mind the fatigue, let’s build it!

This is a matter that benefits the country and the people. It’s not easy for the farmers to feed so many mouths in the nation.

If we have a way to lighten their burden, why not do it?"

"Yes, yes, we agree too."

A crowd looked at Gu Yingzhou with eager eyes, waiting for his nod.

Gu Yingzhou rubbed his temple, bothered by the noise.

"Have you asked the designer before deciding to build it? Stop crowding around, get back to work."

It was a scorching hot day, and yet they clustered together without minding the heat.

But the technicians truly didn’t mind the heat, each wearing a stubborn expression.

"We won’t!"

"Who’s the designer? We’ll talk to them."

As long as that person was willing to sell them the blueprints, even if it meant they had to chip in some money, they were willing to do it.

Just then, Lin Tang spoke up with a smile, "No need to talk, I agree."

The blueprint was of no use to her, it would be better to let the Machinery Factory benefit the people.

She couldn’t stand to see human suffering; when there was something she could do to help, she would lend a hand.

Gu Yingzhou showed a slight change in his expression, not surprised in the least.

Jiu Wei paused for a moment, then asked instinctively, "Was the blueprint drawn by sister-in-law?"

Lin Tang nodded, "Yes, it was me."

"Just use it if you need it, I don’t mind." She added.

Jiu Wei, a husky man over one meter eighty, nearly cried aloud.

"Sister-in-law!" He called out, moved.

Lin Tang’s mouth twitched.

In front of everyone, it was quite awkward.

Gu Yingzhou, sensing the young girl’s discomfort, moved to her side.

"...Go on, get busy," he said in a subdued tone.

Jiu Wei knew the boss had a plan in mind. His robust body moved forward a step, his presence quite imposing.

The technicians also knew the Factory Director disliked unnecessary talk, so they took the hint and returned to the workshop.

In such a short time, a bag of corn cobs had already been threshed.

Gu Yingzhou looked at the thresher on the ground and asked, "Tangtang, when do you plan to send the thresher back to the village?"
