When we returned to the laboratory, it was already evening and the day was about to end.
When they came back, Maomu and the others had smelted a pile of pig iron, but only made two pots and three kitchen knives. Each one looked very bulky, but it did not affect their use at all. This is the clay model I made two days ago. The clay model I made today has not yet been finalized.
Hua Min and Ye Cong were still mumbling about how to make the clay model have a higher success rate. Shade drying took too long, usually three to five days, and the clay model would crack if not careful. There were too many problems.
Huang Ying asked: "Then what solution have you come up with?"
At this moment, Hua Min was covered in mud and looked like a clay doll. She said: "We want to build a drying kiln to control the temperature and humidity. We can make many clay molds at one time, which is much faster than natural drying."
"Okay. If you think about it, find someone to do it. Remember to pay the person and record it in the laboratory's account." Lin Yan supported this.
The current efficiency is too low and we must find ways to change it.
After thinking about it, she added: "From today onwards, you will be paid your wages. Before the iron coins are made, all accounts will be kept. Lan Yue will take care of the accounts of the laboratory first. Each of you in the laboratory has Wages, if you go to work elsewhere, they will pay you wages there as well. Shuisheng, Lanyue, have your affairs been settled?"
Mao Mu and Lin Yun are both technical talents. Bai Yun has promised that they will both go to the Ministry of Industry and work when the smelting plant is built.
Shuisheng nodded, "Minister Fenghua has agreed for me to go to the Finance Department. I will go to her the day after tomorrow. The arbitral tribunal needs to build an office space and start construction. Let me go there and keep accounts."
"Minister Minglan also promised to let me go to the Materials Department and start working from tomorrow." Lan Yue continued.
"Okay, then starting from tomorrow, everyone will be busy with their own things." Lin Yan looked around and said, "It's time to have dinner, everyone should go home."
Several people did not move, looking at the kitchen knives and iron pots eagerly.
Lin Yan understood instantly, "You can divide it among yourself. It will be made tomorrow, so why rush it."
Hua Min immediately answered, "You have everything and tasted the delicious food. Of course you are not in a hurry. We are different."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab the iron pot. The whole family is counting on her to bring back an iron pot.
Except for Mao Mu and Lin Yun, everyone else reached out to grab the pot first. After a fight, Lan Yue and Shi Zhi were quick and got the iron pot.
The person who didn't grab the pot immediately changed his target and started to attack the kitchen knife.
"Be careful, don't get hurt by the kitchen knife." Lin Yun reminded from the side.
Momu looked on worriedly, they were so crazy.
The two of them didn't fight because they thought they were too old to fight with them. Besides, they would make more pots and knives tomorrow, so they wouldn't worry about them being useless.
Shi Zhi, Huang Ying and Bai Chen each grabbed a knife.
Lin Yan also saw that Shuisheng and Hong Ling were just joining in the fun and didn't want to steal it at all. Ye Cong, he just suffered the disadvantage of being young and not having the strength to compete.
When he returned home and smelled the delicious smell, Lin Yan suddenly realized that his mother-in-law's cooking skills were amazing.
You can make more delicious meals just by looking at them, but the smell alone can seduce people without their souls.
Seeing Lin Yan enter the door, Huahong said hurriedly: "Come and eat, it's just out of the pot and it's still hot. I stewed the broth today and it smells much better than the stew in a clay pot. This iron pot is so easy to use."
Looking at the heavy, dark iron pot, it was far from Lin Yan's imagination, but it was extremely practical. No matter what it looks like, as long as it can make delicious meals, it is a good pot.
"My grandma's craftsmanship is so good, much better than mine." Lin Yan praised with a smile, "It smells much better and tastes even more delicious."
"If it's delicious, eat more." Huahong handed the filled soup to Lin Yan, "Eat more scrambled eggs with green onions, and you won't be able to eat it tomorrow."
"Ah, why?" Lin Yan was stunned. Should the only few kinds of food be restricted? She has endured the lack of salt and other condiments, so why can't she eat it?
Huahong sighed leisurely, "The green onions are gone. We didn't bring much back, so we divided it among the neighbors and ate the rest."
“Where are the green onions grown in the ground?”
"It's grown a little tall, so if you want to eat it, you have to wait." Huahong stretched out a finger and gestured. The green onions he planted were not even as high as a finger, and they had just been unearthed a few days ago.
"Although there were a lot of green onion seeds collected at that time, many people came to ask for them, so I gave some to them. Our family didn't grow many."
"Then just wait, you will always get it." Lin Yan was also very sorry, but as long as he could get it, it would be fine, "How are my leeks?"
"It's growing very well. It looks like it's about to bloom. It has grown a slender rod with a bag on it. You can wait and see."
Lin Yan was overjoyed, "It's blooming well. When it blooms, it will produce seeds. If you plant it, you will have a large area."
"Are leeks really delicious? Can they be compared with green onions?" Huahong asked uneasily. When she had nothing to do, she took a look at the leeks under the courtyard wall and sometimes smelled them. It did not have the same smell as green onions. , I don’t know if it is really delicious.
Lin Yan thought for a while and then said: "It's almost the same as green onions, but the taste is different. You'll know later."
"There are too many people going to the pheasant forest, so it's hard to pick up pheasant eggs. You won't be able to eat them freely in the future."
Lin Yan's hand holding the chopsticks paused, but thinking about it, it was normal. With so many people searching for them every day, no matter how many wild eggs they had, they would all be picked up.
"Forget it if you can't eat wild eggs. When we can make sharp weapons, we will steal goose eggs. Goose eggs are so big that one can hold three wild eggs."
Huahong's face changed, "You're going to steal goose eggs. Last time I went to steal eggs, I almost couldn't come back. Don't go."
"Hey, grandma, we went digging for ore for three months, and we came back safely. It only takes two days to get back after stealing goose eggs. We were unlucky last time."
After a pause, she continued: "Besides, with weapons, we can fight against ferocious beasts, and we won't be beaten in vain."
"That big white goose is too ferocious. Who dares to mess with so many of them together? Lin Yan, don't even think about stealing goose eggs. I'm going to find wild eggs for you. If you can't find them, you can still buy them. I’ll let you eat it.”
The idea that suddenly popped into Huahong's mind was something she had never thought of. In just a few days, she had already realized that she could use money to buy wild eggs.
The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea, her eyes brightened, "Your monthly salary is 30 cents, which is 30 cents. One cent can buy 5 wild eggs. Calculating, you can buy 150 wild eggs a month. It’s enough for us to eat.”
Lin Yan was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that A Niang's thoughts would change so quickly. The money had only been implemented for a few days, and she had already thought about how to spend it before she saw the real thing and even before she earned it.
