Barbed wire! Why didn’t I think of this lethal weapon at first? The Werewolves’ armor is truly as rudintary as it gets. Once caught in the barbed wire, snagging their clothes and flesh, they would definitely be unable to move. Indeed, for professional issues, one must seek professional people. Let’s buy barbed wire then!
Yan Xing did so procurent in the construction material market. He bought not only barbed wire fences and razor wire but also tools like pliers, axes, and hamrs. He also purchased a few sets of tents. People would live inside the tents, spared from being battered by wind and rain, or suffering from heatstroke or colds. Falling ill would delay the work schedule. Since Yan Xing needed many items, each rchant had to prepare. After busying themselves for a whole morning, they finally hauled a truckload of supplies back to the prairie.
「After parking the truck sowhere suitable, Yan Xing returned to the real world and walked to Xu Ji’s old store.」
Auntie Li had already prepared lunch, all of it loaded onto a farm tricycle. Four dishes and one soup, with 200 stead buns. There were forty-one portions of dishes, all packed in round plastic al boxes. With both at and vegetables, just looking at the dishes and slling their aroma was enough to whet one’s appetite. A pot of egg drop soup was kept in a stainless steel al bucket. The stead buns inside the foam insulation box were large, fluffy, and steaming with the scent of being freshly made.
Finally, Auntie Li put a pot of chicken legs on the cart and said apologetically to Yan Xing, "These chicken legs have just been cooked, one for each person. I’m sorry... this is the first al, and it was done in a hurry with insufficient preparation. Little Yan, please be accommodating!
"I’ve already bought stoves and kitchen utensils, and hired two helpers. I guarantee dinner will be even better than this al."
Having been busy all morning, Yan Xing was already hungry. He imdiately took a chicken leg and bit into it.
"Not bad, delicious. Co on, I’ll transfer the money..." Yan Xing took out his phone and cheerfully transferred half a month’s food expenses to Auntie Li. Then, while still eating the chicken leg, he said, "Next week, I’ll be adding more workers at my place. Any extra food you make can be deducted from this food budget. Sotis I’ll order supper, and you can also deduct that. When the funds run out, just co find ...
"I’ll pay first, then eat. I’ll never owe you for food."
The direct transfer from Yan Xing completely relieved Auntie Li.
"Little Yan, you’re really a principled and good boss. You’re sure to make a fortune in business..."
"HAHAHA, Auntie Li... may your words co true! I’ll see you at dinner."
「Yan Xing drove the farm tricycle back to the shantytown area and then saw a group of peasants kowtowing and praying to the small truck filled with supplies.」
Seeing Yan Xing return, Gao Sipa, Eddie, and Lao Hansi imdiately greeted him, shouting, "Our Lord’s bravery is unmatched! He has conquered such a colossal steel beast and tad it to be so obedient!"
"Lord, you asked this mount to stay here, and it really hasn’t moved an inch. Even when still, one cannot help but fear its imposing presence."
Yes indeed! If it could move on its own, I, your Lord, would be afraid too.
Yan Xing had no interest in explaining the principles of a car to the group of peasants and instead directed the three n to co to the truck. The idle peasants gathered around too, looking up to their Lord and his mighty mount with reverence.
Yan Xing dragged a cloth bag from the truck’s cargo bed, opened it, and took out several pairs of gloves from inside, tossing them to Gao Sipa, Eddie, and Lao Hansi. These white cotton knitted gloves were absorbent, breathable, and wear-resistant.
Yan Xing demonstrated how to put on the gloves. "Gloves. You should be familiar with them. From now on, you all must wear gloves when working to prevent your hands from being injured by thorny objects. If they get dirty, wash them. If they tear, throw them away and get new ones.
"These gloves are all under Gao Sipa’s managent. He is in charge of distributing them to everyone—two pairs per person."
Then, Yan Xing handed the bag full of gloves to Gao Sipa.
The surrounding peasants were filled with amazent. As laborers, they certainly knew the benefits of working with gloves. But not a single peasant here owned gloves because they were too expensive. Now, their own Lord had personally paid for so many gloves for his subjects, and they were free to use them! How could the peasants not feel grateful?
Moreover, these gloves were so finely made they must have been crafted by high-level textile workers, stitch by stitch. The cost of production was probably many tis more than all the clothes they wore. Thinking that their unworthy hands would soon be donning such exquisitely beautiful gloves, the peasants were even more astonished at their Lord’s generosity and kindness.
Gao Sipa, entrusted with this significant task by Yan Xing, excitedly took the bag of gloves and said solemnly, "I am thankful for the Lord’s trust in . I will protect these gloves with my life."
But Yan Xing scolded him, "Your life is worth more than these gloves. If soone tries to rob you of these gloves, just give them to him. Don’t fight to the death over them."
These gloves, produced on an industrial assembly line, cost only two yuan a pair. A peasant’s tax for one week could be exchanged for 9,000 of them. Yan Xing was very clear about the accounts.
But to Gao Sipa’s ears, the aning was entirely different. Gao Sipa, now wearing the gloves, felt even more overwheld than the peasants who were watching. He could see that the gloves were woven thread by thread—so fine, so neat, so fitting, and so comfortable to wear. They must be extrely, extrely expensive. This bag of gloves represents an unimaginable wealth to . Yet the Lord said my life is more valuable than these gloves! Wow...
Feeling so valued by his Lord, the realization of such favor brought tears to Gao Sipa’s eyes. He imdiately knelt on the ground and kissed Yan Xing’s shoes.
"Get up, get up..."
Yan Xing had Gao Sipa stand up and step aside with the bag of gloves. He then pulled a shovel out of the truck bed. The shovel was 1.3 ters long, its head made of high-hardness carbon steel, with a curved and quite sharp top edge.
Holding the shovel, Yan Xing plunged its head into the earth at his feet. Then, with a forceful kick, he drove the entire shovel head into the ground. Pushing down on the handle, he dug up a large clump of soil.
"I don’t know if you recognize this. It’s called a shovel, a good tool for digging and moving things. As a weapon, it’s also quite formidable.
"It’s definitely better than the pitchforks you’re holding.
"Eddie... I entrust this batch of shovels to you. You’re responsible for distributing them, one per person. If one breaks, repair it imdiately. If it can’t be repaired, replace it..."
Before Yan Xing could finish, Eddie had already knelt and kissed his shoes. "Thank you for the Lord’s trust in ..."
"Enough, enough... Get up, get up... Stand aside for now; I have other tasks. Lao Hansi, co here..."
Lao Hansi imdiately ca forward and said respectfully, "My Lord, what task do you have for ?"
Yan Xing pointed to the wire fencing and barbed wire inside the truck bed and told Lao Hansi, "After Gao Sipa has finished distributing the gloves, find so strong n to unload these items.
"Be very careful with the barbs on the razor wire. You can wear several layers of gloves; you absolutely must not injure yourselves.
"Once you’ve unloaded everything, you’re in charge of guarding it.
"Understand?"
Lao Hansi, also entrusted with an important task, was extrely excited. "My Lord, you are too kind to us common folk! Not only do you distribute gloves to us, but you also worry that we might hurt ourselves, telling us to wear extra layers. Your kindness and generosity are like the sun in our hearts, bestowing its grace upon all things."
"HAHAHA..." This flattery made Yan Xing very comfortable. He patted Lao Hansi on the shoulder and said, "Common folk? You are all precious in my eyes! I brought lunch today, so eat first and then get back to work. Are those Werewolves behaving?"
