Just as Xiao Bai was about to roll up his sleeves and show off his skills, he was instantly startled by the situation in front of him. What was going on?!

Its big, dark purple eyes widened, and its two little paws trembled in mid-air...

It...it hasn't even made a move yet!

How can this person also know sorcery?!

For the first time, the treasure-hunting mouse began to deeply doubt its own abilities.

In the kitchen, the man calmly controlled the fire while cooking, his movements elegant and leisurely, while the treasure-hunting rat stared at him in disbelief.

Soon the aroma of the food wafted out.

Then Yan Yu prepared lunch. He packed the lunches into lunchboxes one by one, and even held them up in front of Xiao Bai. The next second, the lunchboxes in his hands disappeared into thin air.

"squeak!"

Little White's fur suddenly bristled, and at that moment, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse's worldview shattered into pieces.

Looking at its foolish appearance, Yan Yu finally curled up a very faint smile, his wicked sense of humor greatly satisfied.

He turned and went back into the house, his voice instantly softening into the gentleness of spring water.

"Tangtang, wake up."

After a heartwarming breakfast, to prevent her from being exposed outside, Ruan Tang still took the devastated and bewildered Xiao Bai back into her spatial dimension.

Just like yesterday, Yan Yu put the items he needed at any time into the basket and carried it on his back.

Holding Ruan Tang's hand with his other hand, the two walked together toward the main group.

After a day of hard work, all the wheat has been dried and threshed, but Chen Fengshan still dares not let his guard down.

He still arranged for several women to take Lin Xiangnan and Shen Yishan to the threshing ground to dry the wheat, while the male educated youth were scattered and assigned to different teams to harvest potatoes and pick tomatoes.

After arranging the tasks, Chen Fengshan led the two towards the village clinic at the entrance.

On the way, Chen Fengshan rubbed his hands together, his dark yellow face showing both excitement and trepidation.

"Xiao Yan, your machine is really fast! It's caused quite a stir in the neighboring villages! The county leaders have heard about it and will be here soon! This is a huge honor for them!"

He lowered his voice, his tone pleading: "The commune secretary means, could we... could we see if we could build a few more? You know, the weather can change in an instant..."

Yan Yu's steps did not falter in the slightest; his expression was indifferent, stating a cruel reality.

"Only one unit available."

He explained, "The core components and tools were all brought from Beijing, and we've already used them all."

"Want to make another one?"

"Want to make another one?" Yan Yu's voice was cold and devoid of warmth. "You can send this one to the provincial machinery factory for research. As for the parts, you can have them figure out how to order them from the Beijing machinery factory."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fengshan's heart sank, and a fine layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, all of his previous excitement vanishing.

He finally understood that Yan Zhiqing was warning him not to try to use moral blackmail!

Even if it's something he's willing to do, he's not afraid.

If we really wait for Beijing to customize parts to make the machines, then it will be too late.

Startled, Chen Fengshan wiped his sweat and said, "I understand, I understand! Don't worry, Yan Zhiqing, we definitely won't do anything to cheat you, don't worry!"

He hurriedly assured, "I'll explain to the boss later that this machine is valuable and the parts are hard to come by. It's just a coincidence that you were able to make one!"

Chen Fengshan secretly rejoiced that he had asked the question in advance, otherwise he would have made a huge mess of things when the leader came and asked him!

The three of them talked as they walked and soon arrived at the clinic.

The clinic was located in a small courtyard with two single-story houses inside. The gate was open, and the smell of herbs wafted from the courtyard. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
