I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 149 Shelling Machine

Le Ting, who was convinced by Le Zhi in a second, nodded. He also understood the key to this matter, so he didn't say anything more.

"Uncle Le Zhong, I'm here!" Upon arriving at the clan's residence, Le Zhi, led by Le Ting, easily found the room where Le Zhong lived alone. The door was not open, so Le Zhi raised his voice and called out.

The wooden door in front of them opened with a click, and Le Zhong's voice faintly came from inside, "Le Zhizai, come in."

"Okay, let's come in." Lezhi winked at Leting and took the lead to enter.

Although the houses are designed according to the uniform layout of the Windwalker Clan, the people who live there always bring out their own unique charm. For example, Lezhi's house is now filled with greenery, and the wood and vines make it look vibrant and full of life.

Le Zhong's place carries the unique aura of his long-term crafting of metal and stone artifacts. Although the wood and vines in the house are plants, and the space should be predominantly wood-based, when Le Zhong moved in, there was no need to change any layout or decorations; the air was filled with the scent of metal and stone.

The interior environment corresponds to the temperament that Le Zhong usually presents. Le Zhi had been Le Zhong's private chef for half a month and was already used to it, but Le Ting was not used to it and was a bit reserved.

"It's alright." Seeing that Yue Ting was a little nervous, Yue Zhi gently comforted her, "Uncle Yue Zhong has a very good temper. As long as you don't touch his things, he usually won't get angry or throw a tantrum, even though he looks a bit fierce." But that's just because he looks bad.

After defending Le Zhong and easing Le Ting's emotions, Le Zhi guessed at Le Zhong's habits and made her way to the temporary studio at the very back.

"Hey, Lezhi's brought a new friend over." Hearing the two footsteps, Lezhong, who was working at his desk, looked up and teased.

"Yeah, Uncle Le Zhong has released a new product. Getting a spot to be the first to see it is highly sought after, the competition is fierce." Taking the opportunity to flatter Le Zhong, Le Zhi saw the corners of Le Zhong's mouth curving up and knew that Le Zhong must be in a very good mood.

This also shows that the machine he selected is almost certainly the right one, and it's definitely a sure thing.

Sure enough, Le Zhong wasn't one to keep things mysterious. After being openly praised by Le Zhi, Le Zhong felt refreshed. Everyone loves to hear nice things, especially since what Le Zhi said was true. Every time Le Zhong released a new product, he was the center of attention, so he didn't need to be modest at all.

Le Zhong got up from his workbench and carried a machine about half the size of a person out of the suite. With a soft "bang," he placed it in front of Le Zhi.

"Here, this is the shelling machine I specially developed based on the thorny seed you gave me." Le Zhong patted the machine twice, his eyes full of pride, introducing the machine as if it were his own child.

"Look here, press this button and the machine will be in start mode. Put the seeds that need to be shelled into the feed inlet, and the machine will automatically sense it and start working. It will automatically stop when it finishes processing the materials."

He demonstrated how to use the machine to Lezhi step by step. The material Lezhong used was the spiny seeds provided by Lezhi. Seeing that the machine had completed the shelling of the pile of spiny seeds in just one breath, Lezhi reached into the bucket under the discharge port and grabbed a handful of shelled seeds to check them.

"I've tested it, and the current blade setting is perfect for seeds of this size. It removes them very cleanly, and the damage to the fruit pulp is minimal, almost negligible." Seeing the look of surprise on Le Zhi's face, Le Zhong smiled as well.

"This blade, Uncle Le Zhong, you mean..." Le Zhong was able to equip the previous blender with all sorts of accessories and blades, making it incredibly versatile. This shelling machine shouldn't be that simple either.

"Hehe, I knew you'd ask." Le Zhong gave Le Zhi an approving look and gestured for him to look at the side of the machine, where there was an adjustment bar with markings. "You can adjust the size of the blade by moving this, to fit different sized materials. Look, I've already marked this for you. This is the best for spiny seeds, and this is for kola nuts. This side is for larger, and the other side is for smaller. When you get new materials, you can adjust it yourself."

This feature is incredibly thoughtful. Lezhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately hugged the shell-removing machine, not wanting to let go. This was his new favorite, and there was no room for argument. He would never have to worry about those endless shells again.

"Waaah, Uncle Le Zhong, thank you so much, you're amazing." Le Zhi's gratitude was completely heartfelt, without any finesse.

Meanwhile, Le Ting, who was attending the Mechanical Master's new product launch for the first time, was so surprised that he was speechless. He could only stand there with his mouth slightly open, completely stunned.

The Mother Tree! This thing was actually made by their own people! How did they even develop their brains? Unlike him, who hadn't even fully grasped a simple planting technique. Swallowing hard, the academic underachiever, crushed by the academic genius, crumbled quietly in the corner.

Although it might be a bit self-deprecating, everyone admires the strong, especially a master like Le Zhong who is exceptionally strong. Le Ting and Le Zhi are now essentially sharing a common brain, and the thought process of a strong person is different from theirs, so there's no need to force them to understand him.

All they can do is praise them as much as they can.

After a thorough introduction, Le Zhong and Le Zhi officially completed the delivery, and Le Zhi acquired the second fully automated machine in this world. While his people still relied primarily on manual labor, Le Zhi already possessed two machines capable of OEM manufacturing, a truly enviable achievement.

Noticing the envy on Yue Ting's face, Yue Zhi chuckled, "Why that expression? Uncle Yue Zhong is one of our clansmen. If he can make one, he can make countless." Moreover, he knew that although Uncle Yue Zhong also wanted to continue serving the guard team, he couldn't give up on making metal and stone artifacts.

Uncle Lezhong needs to balance these two matters himself, but considering the needs of the clan, Chief Lechu will probably take the initiative to intervene and help, and will not let Uncle Lezhong be put in a difficult position.

"Yes, I know. But Uncle Lezhong was already very busy just making the weapons and tools that the tribe needed. Now that he's added these things, we don't know how long we'll have to wait to buy them." Moreover, just looking at the functions of this machine, the resources we'll need to acquire it will probably be quite substantial.

“Actually, you don’t need to worry too much.” Lezhi thought about some practical cases she had seen in her previous life and had a guess in her mind. “If Chief Lechu can step forward, it would be most appropriate to purchase it in the name of the clan and then make it available to the clan members.”

No matter how you look at it, a shelling machine has relatively limited functionality, and not everyone needs to use it all the time. Therefore, it's most suitable for the clan to purchase it collectively, allowing those who need it to apply for it themselves – that's the most convenient approach.

Having understood the meaning behind Lezhi's words, Leting immediately thought of the flour mill that had already opened in the clan before they set off, and nodded thoughtfully.

"I think I understand what you mean. Will the clan chief go to Uncle Le Zhong to place an order?"

"Of course, Chief Lechu is a smart man."

There is no doubt about this. Le Chu, a smart person certified by Le Zhi, had just dragged his tired body back to his residence late at night when he was caught red-handed by Le Zhong, who had been staking out the place for a long time.

"Chieftain, I'd like to discuss something with you..."
