Era: Village bully, so what if he can't get a wife?

Lin Zhiqiang even picked up his glass and downed three glasses with Lin Feng!

"Haha, Xiaofeng, I believe in you! The brick kiln! Everyone knows it's a money-making business!"

"If the village weren't short of money, and my family weren't so strapped for cash, I would have joined you!"

"Hehe, let's have a few more drinks! I only realized today that Xiaofeng, you're a genius!"

Liu Fengxian, her face crinkled with laughter, shouted towards the kitchen, "Daughter-in-law, why isn't the food served yet!"

"Our Xiaofeng is hungry, hurry up, stir-fry another meat dish!"

Lin Feng was happy to play the fool, grinning sheepishly, "Uncle Mancang, let me fill out the application form when you're doing it!"

"We don't necessarily have to make bricks; we can make porcelain too! If bricks don't work, we'll make porcelain, hehe, adding porcelain to the production items on the application form would be good!"

"Haha, with my skills, it doesn't matter what I burn!"

"I think firing bricks and firing porcelain are essentially the same thing! They're practically identical!"

Now, the contempt in Lin Mancang's family's eyes became even more undisguised.

I've heard of kilns in the village, but I've never heard of a porcelain factory.

Can brick firing and porcelain firing be the same thing?

Even if they don't understand, they know there's a huge difference.

Porcelain can only be produced in large state-owned factories, which require hundreds of workers.

You're all alone, with no money and no skills, dreaming!

"Okay! The village will fill out the application form according to your requirements."

"You'll have to pay for the kiln construction yourself! Once the paperwork is done, we'll contract it out to you."

"We'll also allocate land in the village to you, and the surrounding hills all belong to our village. You can dig up any raw materials you mentioned!"

"But the money for the village must be given. Hmm, I think five yuan a day is reasonable!"

At this point, Lin Mancang looked at Lin Feng meaningfully.

Lin Feng immediately understood, and smiled sheepishly, "Okay, Uncle Mancang! I'll personally sponsor the village's development, ten yuan a day! Uncle Mancang can distribute it as he sees fit."

"There's no need to write it into the contract. I'm a kind-hearted person; I do good deeds anonymously!"

Although Lin Feng was smiling, he was cursing inwardly.

Black! It's damn black! The village head is the small fry, and you're the big fish; this village secretary is clearly in charge.

They're all smart people; they'll stop there.

The group then toasted and chatted, exchanging pleasantries and conversing animatedly, before settling their score and concluding the matter.

Before leaving, Lin Feng took out ten ten-yuan bills from his pocket.

"Uncle Mancang, the procedures are quite troublesome, and you need to pull strings. Take this money; with it, the higher-ups will pay more attention!"

Lin Mancang and Lin Zhiqiang's smiles became even more genuine. They said they didn't need it, but they were faster than anyone else at doing it.

With a whoosh, all the money on the table was gone!

Lin Feng smiled, "Then I'll have to leave it to Uncle Mancang. It's getting colder and colder, so let's hurry!"

After saying that, he pretended to be drunk, staggered out the door, and disappeared into the night.

Upon arriving home, Lin Feng immediately went from being drunk to being full of energy.

Lin Mancang thought Lin Feng was stupid or mentally ill, but he didn't know Lin Feng's abilities.

The white porcelain kiln factory...it's definitely going to be built! I really want to see their true colors again when the time comes.

Lin Mancang's house!

Lin Mancang, Lin Zhiqiang, Liu Fengxian, and their daughter-in-law Wang Xiulian continued eating and drinking together, without breaking up.

"Dad, do you think Lin Feng is crazy? He actually wants to build a brick kiln? He'd be more like building a latrine!" Lin Zhiqiang sneered.

"I think so too. Something's been off for a while now. He went hunting in the mountains, married a sickly woman, and now he wants to build a kiln. It's all so baffling!" Liu Fengxian said sarcastically.

Wang Xiulian pondered, "What if—and I mean just what if—he actually builds the kiln?"

Lin Mancang, Lin Zhiqiang, and Liu Fengxian all curled their lips in unison.

"Unless something goes wrong, given his idiot-like nature, I'd rather believe a sow can fly."

"Heh, even our family doesn't dare build a kiln, so what gives him the right? Because he's domineering! It's useless."

Lin Mancang lit his pipe again and sneered, "Heh, you lot, so short-sighted!"

"I'd like Lin Feng to build the brick kiln. If it's built, the rent will be fifteen yuan a day!"

"Every day! Four hundred and fifty a month!"

"Even if I pay 150 yuan to the village, I can decide how to spend it."

"yes!"

"It's better to build it! Then, whether it makes money or not, we can collect rent and make a profit."

Looking at his excited son, wife, and daughter-in-law, Lin Mancang shook his head again and continued.

"To put it another way, he was just pretending all along, trying to make money from the kiln."

"We can also withdraw the contract and take the brick kiln back to the village!"

"What we do then is entirely up to me!"

"Brilliant! Dad, you're really brilliant! Haha!"

......

In the days that followed, Lin Feng frequently went to Lin Mancang's house for meals.

As the relationship between the two families grew closer, Lin Feng pretended to be oblivious and controlled the flow of the process.

For some crucial procedures, Lin Feng would also accompany Lin Mancang to several departments.

Lin Feng's ten "big unity" tickets also played a crucial role, and the process went very quickly.

After just one more half-month of inspection, the paperwork for the brick and porcelain kiln factory will be completed.

Lin Mancang patted his chest and said he could handle it, and after that, Lin Feng didn't bother with it anymore.

What he's thinking about now is where the funding for building the white porcelain kiln will come from!

At least 10,000 yuan is needed to get started initially, and then we'll figure out how to cover the labor, raw materials, and other expenses later.

The best way is to take Pigsy back to the deep mountains again! Stay a few more days and make lots of money!

It's getting colder and colder, and there's already been a light snowfall, but it doesn't affect our trip into the mountains.

This time, Lin Feng doesn't plan to go alone; he'll bring Lin Laowu's family along.

The Lin family agreed without hesitation.

At home!

Lin Feng is making preparations; this trip into the deep mountains may take a little longer.

Sufficient preparation is essential.

Hunting rifles, lead bullets, bows and arrows, hunting knives, ropes, hurrah shoes, axes, tarpaulins, dog-faced hats, sheepskin coats, compasses, flints, salt, and so on!

Iron pots, shovels, and various seasonings were tied to Pigsy's body, making a clanging and jingling sound, which was quite impressive.

Lin Feng had Su Qiuxin and his aunt make seven homemade sleeping bags, commonly known as cotton sleeping bags.

It's very practical and warm to crawl inside at night and cover yourself with a rainproof cloth.

Everything was ready the day before Lin Feng was to head into the mountains.

Lin Dashan burst into the house, panting, and anxiously grabbed Lin Feng.

"Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng! Something terrible has happened! Your wife...your wife is back?"

"Huh!?" Lin Feng, who was eating, was taken aback, then looked at Su Qiuxin, who was drinking soup.

"Second Uncle, what did you say? My cheap wife is right here!"

Brigitte Lin, Da Ya, and Er Ya also stared at the anxious Lin Dahe with puzzlement.

Su Qiuxin rolled her eyes. She was used to being called a cheap wife, so she didn't care what others thought.

Lin Dahe, panting heavily, said even more anxiously, "It's not this wife!"

"It's Su Xiahe!"

"who??!"

"Second Sister!" Su Qiuxin suddenly stood up and said nervously.

"Where is my second sister now? Has she gone home? Is she...is she alright?"

Lin Dashan frowned again, and hesitated, saying, "I heard that Su Daqiang kidnapped him!"

"Many people saw it."
