wealthy lord

Chapter 76 Playing with fire late at night
  Oona immediately pushed his hand away.

"Don't make trouble! I'm serious!"

Lin Yun watched the villagers carrying kelp and said seriously: "Silly girl, do you think your husband-in-law is a fool? Are you deliberately letting Qiu Yi get a big advantage?"

"Isn't it? Even if Zheng Li won't betray, he can't withstand the coercion and inducement from the City Lord's Palace! Don't forget, they are all robbers and have criminal records!"

Lin Yun stared at her strangely and said, "Why did you react so strongly? Did Zheng Li just contradict you?"

Oona obviously showed some flaws and did not dare to look at Lin Yun.

This allowed Lin Yun and the two ladies to see clearly and roughly have the answer in their minds.

Ye Wanqing said: "Third sister, your starting point is good, but you should never avenge yourself at any time! My husband trusts Zheng Youli, so he has his reasons! My husband has already mentioned the issues you can consider!"

"Huh, anyway, I think there is something wrong with Zheng Li. He was just talking and laughing with Qiu Yi on the road! His attitude suddenly changed when he saw me!"

Oona curled her lips angrily.

At this time, Lin Yun said: "Okay! Don't doubt it! Let time prove everything! If Zheng Li is a smart person, he will not mess around, otherwise...he wants to hide in front of me, but that's not the case Such an easy thing!”

Oona stamped her foot and said angrily: "Forget it! Anyway, whatever you say makes sense! I think you don't want to believe what I say!"

After saying that, Oona hugged Lin Wuyue and said flatteringly: "Sister Wuyue, I'm hungry... I want to eat!"

Lin Wuyue fondly poked her forehead and said, "What a starving Tuosheng! Come on, everything is ready for you!"

With that said, the two women held their arms and entered the main hall talking and laughing.

Ye Wanqing saw this and turned around and asked: "Mr. Sir, what Oona said actually makes sense!"

"I know! But it's too early to draw a conclusion now! Just let the bullets fly for a while!"

Lin Yun said that he should not be suspicious of those he employs, but in fact, he sent Zheng Li out this time to really test him.

However, after listening to what Wu Na said just now, even if Zheng Li was not bribed by Qiu Yi, he would definitely be moved.

He murmured: "Perhaps...he is hesitating in his heart right now!"

"What? What did your husband say?"

Ye Wanqing didn't hear clearly and frowned as I asked.

"It's okay!" Lin Yun responded, and immediately stepped forward and patted the pile of kelp piled next to the stove.

"Quick, burn all these kelp within an hour!"

Ye Wanqing was stunned and said: "Mr., are you crazy? We have indeed made money now, and we have a lot of money in our hands, but we can't waste our money! Burn it directly? Then why don't you go all the way to let Oona buy it back and do it? Well?"

"You can burn it as long as you want, don't ask so many questions! I do it for my own reasons!"

Afterwards, Lin Yun grabbed a handful of dried kelp and threw it directly into the burning stove.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke came out.

Although these kelp are dry, they are still somewhat damp.

For a moment, the entire mansion was filled with smoke, and the surrounding villagers thought that the lord's house was on fire, and they all rushed to help.

But seeing that only the stove in the courtyard was burning, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Now is the transition between spring and summer, which is the peak season for fires. Because the weather is dry and the wind is strong during this period, even a tiny spark may cause a fire.

"Cough cough!!"

Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing both choked and coughed violently.

It made Ouna, who was eating in the main hall, choked.

Lin Wuyue also came out to check the situation. Although she had doubts in her heart, she did not want to ask more questions. She always believed that Lin Yun must have his reasons for doing this. At this time, the old village chief walked in. Seeing Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing still filling the stove with dried kelp, he asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"

This season is not like adding firewood to keep warm, nor is it like burning wasteland. Moreover, these dried kelp have just been moved in by the villagers, so why are they burned directly?

Lin Yun was so choked that he couldn't find his way around. When he heard the voice behind him, he turned around. There was a layer of kelp ash on his face and body, and he looked like a blind bear in the dark.

Lin Yun didn't say much, and pulled Ye Wanqing out of the smoke, came to the side of the old village chief, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then said: "Quick... Could you please arrange for everyone to help throw all these dried kelp into the stove!"

The old village chief could only give instructions to the surrounding villagers.

Everyone immediately stepped forward to help.

Lin Yun finally took a breath and explained: "What I want is not kelp, but the ashes after burning the kelp!"

The old village chief asked curiously, "My lord, what is the use of this kelp ash?"

"In normal times, it would definitely be useless! But the kelp ash is very useful for growing crops next time! Don't ask any questions!"

Lin Yun couldn't explain it clearly in just a few words, so he simply stopped talking.

It is said that there is strength in numbers, so a group of villagers helped burn the dried kelp, and it was completely burned in no time.

However, the entire Niubei Village, and even the area for several miles around, was filled with a layer of smoke.

It's like fog. If outsiders enter late at night, they will definitely get lost.

After the stove was completely extinguished, the thick smoke finally dissipated.

Lin Yun then stepped forward, picked up a wooden basin, and dug out a large basin of kelp ash directly in the stove pit.

Afterwards, pour the kelp ash into a large black pot and boil it with distilled water.

The purpose of this is naturally to extract iodine.

However, the process is a bit like boiling feces before, and you need to constantly stir it with a rice spoon to prevent it from getting muddy at the bottom.

Each time the distilled water was dried, Lin Yun extracted the blue-purple powder from the edge of the large black pot, and then added distilled water to cook it.

This process was repeated a dozen times before it was completely completed.

The villagers had already gone back to rest.

Only the three girls were sitting on small benches in the courtyard waiting, and at first they had something to talk about.

But it was already Haishi, it was already dead of night, and the three women were all very sleepy.

Lin Yun finally completed the extraction.

"Haha!! It's really not easy!"

Lin Yun laughed loudly, which instantly cheered up the three women who were already staggering.

The wooden basin in Lin Yun's hand was filled with a thick layer of blue-purple powder.

The three women immediately came forward to watch.

Oona frowned and said: "You have spent so much effort just for these powders? My husband, what are you going to do?"

Ye Wanqing smiled and said: "Are these powders also fertilizer, which can make the farmers grow faster?"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not! The scientific name of this powder is iodine, which is a trace element needed by the human body! However, in addition, it can also be used in industry!"

The three women who heard his words were confused and did not understand them at all.

The three women looked at each other and looked at Lin Yun who looked excited, not knowing what to say.
