(Today's second update will still be a little later, around 12-1 o'clock. It's still the same sentence, readers who go to work, go to bed early.)
In just one morning, the news that Li Chuyuan was as bright as day spread in the town.

Gather lightning?

Collect lightning?

Use the power of thunder and lightning to illuminate the night?

Lu artisan's latest invention?
Lie, lie to ghosts.

But the people in Lijia Village described it as if it was real. When you press the switch, the light will be on, and once you press it, the light will be off, and it can be placed outdoors, not afraid of wind or rain, as long as there is electricity, it will always be bright.

Moreover, it is as bright as day, tens of thousands of times better than oil lamps.

Quite a few people chose to believe that all the people in Lijia Village said so, it didn't seem like a fake, and a respected old man in the village even personally tested the incident, with the old man's reputation and Reputation is absolutely impossible to tell lies.

There are also many people who don't believe it, because this matter is too mysterious.

Thunder and lightning in the sky, how can ordinary people like me control them?

How can the thunder and lightning in the sky condescend to land on the mortal world for a mortal to control?

Even Mr. Na Daling had to open the altar first to sacrifice to the heavens before he could invite the thunder and lightning.

Moreover, the power of thunder and lightning is so powerful that Li Chu doesn't have any magic power, so how could he use it? This is definitely a lie.

Mr. Darling, this is Lin Lingsu.

The great master of the Shenxiao sect, who can practice the five thunders method, has been inherited by the government today, and the Taoist Shenxiao Palace is promoted throughout the country.

Li Chu's yard is not far from the town, and many people even ran to Li Chu's yard to look at this miraculous electric light.

Fortunately, he simply connected another distribution wire and connected it to the gate of the yard. In front of everyone, he operated step by step, strung it up with small bamboos, installed another incandescent lamp outside, and installed the switch outside the yard. This group of curious people went to toss.

As a result, the incandescent lamps outside the yard flickered on and off, and there were all kinds of exclamations from the crowd.

According to the tossing method of this group of people, I'm afraid it won't be used for a day, and the bulb of this incandescent lamp will burn out.

Just burn it. Anyway, 1 custom coin can buy 10. Let them go. After all, the acceptance of new things always needs a process. It's no wonder.

The only thing to pay attention to is the Leopard 1 tank parked in the open space outside the courtyard and covered with a tarpaulin.

A few curious people in the crowd have already leaned over to take a look. After all, this thing is a bit big, and the tarpaulin looks extraordinary.

"A pile of black stones, what's so interesting about it?"

Li Chu could only use coal to perfunctory, and asked Yang Cheng to come over and guard.

He has other things to do today, so it is impossible to spend time here with this group of curious villagers.

"Folks, which one of you grows beans? From now on, I will start collecting soybeans. It costs eight cents per catty. Folks, you can sell your own soybeans to me, or I can come to collect them. .”

Li Chu ran to the gate of the courtyard, beckoned the big guys to look over here, and released the news of the purchase of soybeans.

Beans have been planted in China since ancient times. Basically, they can be planted all over the country. They have very high nutritional value and can be planted several times a year. However, this so-called nutritional value is a fart for people in the Northern Song Dynasty.

On the market, the price of soybeans is 5 Wen or 6 Wen per catty.

Li Chu got 8 articles here, which is an extremely high price.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to buy it at such a high price, unless it was a year of great famine.

Li Chu also has his own ideas and intentions in using this price. Firstly, the price is high, and everyone will sell soybeans to him. Secondly, the profit is also high. Everyone is from the same village, so we can’t let everyone suffer. right, isn't it?

Furthermore, soybeans are planted on the side of the aisle beside the field, and it does not affect the wheat or rice in the field, and the two coexist without interfering with each other.

This kind of price can increase everyone's enthusiasm. If it is purchased at this price for a long time, many people will definitely be able to plant soybeans one after another in the coming year. By then, it will be a source of soybeans.

Soybean is the most basic raw material of Laoganma.

In later generations, Lao Ganma has already told Li Chu with very, very successful experience that this kind of thing will become popular all over the world sooner or later.

Not to mention, the south at this time is covered by a miasma of humidity, and there is no chili to eliminate the dampness and cold in the body. The south alone is already a very large market that urgently needs old godmothers.

From the moment he planned to be an old godmother, Li Chu had no intention of making a fuss.

Open a factory and set up a production line.

Therefore, a stable source of supply is a must.

A few pennies more can make everyone sell here and develop such a habit. Moreover, the profit in this old godmother is only a few pennies. If a few pennies can avoid many unnecessary troubles, then sincerely worth it.

Douchi, this kind of thing existed in the Tang Dynasty, or even earlier, but the fermentation process does not have the simplified and safe process of later generations.

Although Li Chu knew how to ferment better and faster, compared with the people in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was not much difference.

Moreover, Rufen Town is on the official road, and there are countless businessmen traveling from south to north.

Let’s not talk about the far ones, let’s talk about the near ones. One is Zhang Laocai. If you wait until Li Chu opens a factory and establishes a Laoganma production line, can you expect Zhang Laocai to be indifferent?
Even if Zhang Laocai won't open an old godmother factory like Li Chu, but you expect him not to deliberately trip you up and disgust you?

It's only a few pennies, but the key points in it are far more than the value of these few pennies.

"What, eight coins?"

"Xiao Chu, didn't I hear you wrong, did you say that you received soybeans for eight cents a catty?"

"Xiao Chu, how much do you want to charge? I still have some at home, and I'll send them to you right away."

"Brother Chu, are you sure you are paying eight cents per catty?"

"Xiao Chu, can you take my home? Wait a minute, I'll go home and bring it to you."

Just now I was studying and lamenting the magic of this electric light, but when I heard that Li Chu was going to accept soybeans, and the price was still as high as eight cents a catty, I immediately started to ask questions.

Li Chu also saw that two or three women quietly slipped out of the crowd and hurried to their home.

These few are shrewd masters. When everyone asks here, they go home and bring beans. They must be the first to sell the soybeans.

"Okay, okay, listen to me first."

Li Chu temporarily comforted the crowd, and seriously announced: "From today onwards, Li Chu will buy soybeans at a price of eight cents per catty. As for the purchase volume, it is temporarily one thousand catties. The thousand catties are only temporary, if the situation is good, after collecting the thousand catties, we will buy again in a few days, of course, the price will not be lowered in the future!"

"Xiao Chu, you are so kind."

"Xiao Chu, what are you doing with so many beans?"

Li Chu chuckled and kept it secret for the time being.

After receiving Li Chu's earnest reply, most of the people who had gathered around the door to study electric lights all ran home. These days, that person didn't grow any beans at home.

After a while, many people arrived carrying bags of beans in sacks.

Li Chu borrowed another steelyard from the village, and checked the scales one by one in front of everyone, and then weighed them and paid for them.

The silver was also yesterday. Axiu went to the county to exchange it into small change.

One thousand catties of soybeans is the limit that Li Chu can eat at the moment. The restaurant has only been open for two days, and it has earned more than 20 yuan. In addition, the food expenses for the two days and the deposit paid to the kiln Mr. Zheng yesterday , Li Chu didn't have much money left in his hand.

Li Chu originally wanted to go to the town to collect soybeans, but now that everyone sent so many soybeans, he decided not to go for the time being.

Just at the door of the house, one by one, everyone, some brought ten catties, some only a few catties, but there was one family who picked it up in baskets, and it was a full forty catties.

Moreover, after knowing that Li Chu needed a thousand catties, this group of people returned to the village and told other people in the village that they bought a lot anyway, so they don't have to worry about not being able to sell their own.

Li Chu didn't have to go to the town any more. This day, he just stayed at the door of his house. This group of simple fellow villagers took the initiative to bring Huang Dou here.

In one day, a thousand catties of soybeans have already been purchased.

Li Chu had no choice but to tell the villagers regretfully to let them wait for the next time. As for the time of the next time, it could be as short as a few days or as long as a month, and this group of people left angrily.

However, there are also those who refuse to leave, for reasons.

lamp...

Nothing could be seen during the day, but at night, the sky outside became darker, and the light from the electric light became more and more obvious.

After seeing how Li Chu made it during the day, and now looking at the lamp, everyone is in deep thought.

"Brother Chu, can you also install this electric light in my house, it's much more convenient than oil lamps."

"Yes, Brother Chu, I don't know how much it will cost to install this thing?"

Rome wasn't built overnight.

Li Chu had no choice but to explain the reason in detail to them, telling them not to worry, these things will all enter their homes in the future.

It was not until this day that everyone had left that the toil was over.

Inside the house, electric lights shone brightly.

Yang Kang, holding a dilapidated book, read it carefully under the light.

Axiu was outside the yard, arranging the purchased soybeans.

In the yard, Yang Cheng was holding a long stick, stabbing and picking, and was practicing the Yang family's marksmanship hard.

In the room, Li Chu sat on a stool with an expression of enjoyment.

Behind him, Aning was pinching his shoulders with a smile on his face.

"Brother-in-law, when can you play a fun trick for Ah Ning?"
