Chapter-161: successfully made charcoal, turning the faces of sarcastic speakers black
Ah, it didn't work! It was the wood that was not burned through. The Lark family was very disappointed, but didn't say anything. After all, they had gained so many benefits. The Foster family had no scruples.
"I told you, it's not that easy to succeed. Otherwise, most people would burn wood to keep warm, and the charcoal wouldn't be sold."
"I thought Miss Lark was very powerful, but she is just like this. I think she is overhyped."
"I was exaggerating before, but now it's exposed."
"I don't know why the head is praising Miss Lark so much. Is he confused because of the stimulation?"
"I think it's entirely possible. Shouldn't we change the position of the head of the family?"
"I think it's feasible. The position of the head of the family can be rotated. There are many outstanding children in the family." The voices were not low and Wendy Lark heard them clearly.
She smiled slightly and looked at the head of the Foster family beside her. The face of the head of the Foster family was not looking good. It was already this late and they were still fighting for power.
Someone exclaimed, "Huh? What is that?" Fourth Brother Lark pulled out a piece of charcoal. The color inside and outside was the same. It was charcoal! It had not been burned to ash! Wendy Lark reminded. "Try to break it apart."
Fourth Brother Lark gently broke it. He was overjoyed, "It worked, head, you succeeded."
"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning." Wendy Lark said calmly, glancing at the Foster family, "We should keep a low profile, lest people say we are over praising us again."
Foster family: ...speechless… (Silence…!)
Head of the Foster family sighed silently. Why offend the head of the Lark family when there was nothing to do? Although she was a little girl, she was the head of the family and she is a super capable girl.
Some men have no abilities themselves, but they look down on this and that and think that women are only fit to stay at home and give birth to and raise children.
"Miss Wendy is indeed extraordinary, smart and capable of doing anything with ease. It is a blessing for everyone in the Lark family to have a patriarch like you." He praised them a lot, which was also a disguised way of apologizing on behalf of his people.
Wendy Lark likes dealing with smart people. Head of the Foster family is a smart man. "No thank you for the compliment. Does your family seem to be in turmoil?"
Someone wants to take your place. The head of the Foster family couldn't help but smile bitterly. They had worked together when things were most difficult before, but now that times are better, they have started to make all kinds of troubles.
"Don't worry. I won't drag the Lark family into this." This is what Wendy Lark wanted to hear. "That's the best. If you dare to stretch your claws towards us, don't blame me for cutting them off."
"Okay." What else could the head of the Foster family say? Wendy Lark was a little speechless as she looked at the group of people who were laughing foolishly. "Go, bring a small red stove over, and we'll try the effect on the spot."
After a while, a faint flame started. Everyone cheered and called out Wendy Lark's name. Their admiration for her was like a torrent of water.
Uncle John Lark suggested, "Chief, can you make a few more furnaces? Build a few more kilns to supply charcoal to all the family members." The main thing is that it doesn't cost any money, and there is plenty of wood in the forest.
Wendy Lark glanced at the sky. It was already dawn and she didn't know what the road conditions ahead would be like. "Where's Lord Jeff? Why can't I see him?" Uncle John Lark looked around and said, "He was here just now."
Maybe he went to the bathroom. Wendy Lark searched the crowd, "When did Deputy Captain Luke and his team come back?" Uncle John Lark stayed up all night last night and knew a lot of the situation.
"It was late at night and he was still asleep. It was said that there was no road ahead. We had to take a detour through a winding mountain road. People could pass through, but it would be a bit risky for a carriage."
Wendy Lark could only hold back when she heard this. Safety comes first. "How about this, we have a total of 16 groups, and we will build eight earthen kilns, two groups each, and let Uncle Kai guide you. You learn more and remember to build two earthen kilns for the officials."
There were originally fifteen groups, and after the people from the eldest house were incorporated into them, it became the sixteenth group. In this way, the supply for a week will be enough and we can burn charcoal while traveling and it should be able to be supplied in time.
"Okay, no problem." Uncle John Lark hurried to carry out the order. This was the daily work he was responsible for. At Wendy Lark's command, the Lark family began to work busily. The Foster family members were envious and ran towards the head of the Foster family.
After a while, the head of the Foster family came over and asked, "Miss Wendy, can our Foster family also learn it?" Wendy Lark pinched her chin. It was very simple to burn charcoal. All you had to do was control the temperature.
You could learn it just by watching for a while. The head of the Foster family said this as a sign of respect. If the Foster family secretly burned charcoal, she couldn't do anything about it because it was not her invention.
"Sure, but I hope the Foster family can give something in return." She was not greedy for anything, but was telling the head of the Foster family that if you want something, you have to pay for it and don't always try to take advantage.
