367 Ideal Value
However, it was all gossip. Even if they heard it, they acted as if they didn’t hear it.
“I know of a mill that’s a little smaller than the one we have at home. It can remove at least eighteen thousand kilograms a day,” Jiang Yue whispered to Xue Yan.
When she first saw his drawing, she thought of another rice huller. It was the one she had found in her original world.
In other words, our rice can remove more hush in a day.
If it was calculated by 1800 kilograms, 60 kilograms would be 10 coins, so 1800 kilograms would be 300 coins.
500 coins were only half a piece of silver. To be honest, she didn’t think it was that hard to earn 300 coins a day.
“It would be good enough if we could get a few hundred kilograms of rice for each day so that we can earn enough.
“However, someone said something that I agree with. If this workshop’s matter were to spread, there might be rice shops in the town that would send their rice to our workshop instead. At that time, even the grain farmers wouldn’t have to work day and night to remove the husk, but they would definitely earn more than doing it for the villages.”
It was just an ideal value, and it didn’t mean anything. He just sighed, and then continued to walk home with her hand in his. He smiled and said in a low voice, “I believe you might have already seen through my original plan.”
“That you’re trying to live in this village as an ordinary person?” Jiang Yue asked.
“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded with a smile. “I’m actually still planning to do the same. However, I still want my family to have a better life. The lives of the other people in my family should be decided by them. They should not revolve around me. They should have their own lives.”
“Did their lives revolve around you in your past life?” Jiang Yue asked.
“Yes.” He nodded again, but this time, he was silent for a while before he spoke again.
“When I was reborn, I didn’t expect you to be in my family. I decided to build a workshop before I left the academy. I wanted to be ordinary. Even if I helped my family, I would try to do it ordinarily.
“It’s enough for farmers to earn dozens of coins a day. Besides, I don’t think my family would be willing to do this, especially Sifu. He used to be restricted by the need to pay for my studies, but now there’s no such restriction. Even if we don’t help him, he will earn a lot of money sooner or later.
“Nowadays, it’s no longer important whether this workshop can help people remove the grains or not. After all, our family doesn’t lack money anymore. In the future, it should become a part of making rice noodles.”
Jiang Yue could tell that this workshop would eventually become a part of the rice noodles business because it was only a matter of time before Sifu would want to expand the rice noodles business. When that time comes, they would need to have more flour.
“Do you really think that you can change a lot of things in your past life by staying in this village and not studying?” She suddenly asked.
Although she didn’t know what he was going to change, she could tell that he was satisfied with how things were going.
Xue Yan was not surprised by her question. He knew how smart she was, but he was silent for a long time before he said, “A lot of things have changed. I think I made the right decision. At least, Sifu is still alive and kicking. Grandpa’s body had not become weak because of his kids’ deaths. The rest of our family members are also fine.”
