Xiangjiang.

Government House, on the bed.

Dai Linzhi covered his mouth to stop the cough in his throat, and carefully read the instructions from the headquarters.

Next to him was a private doctor invited from Britain, who was fully armed at the moment and was examining him.

Dai Linzhi concentrated his attention, but after reading half of it, he couldn't help the itching in his throat anymore.

Cough cough cough

After coughing for a while, Dai Linzhi put down his report.

Now he knows what to do without the headquarters telling him.

Because that damn old William infected them all.

Especially the exchange after the banquet made most people infected with the flu.

Now he felt cold all over.

He needs to complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters as soon as possible and complete this transaction.

"But, how should we contact the North?"

Rubbing his swollen head, Dai Linzhi's vision was a little blurry.

snap

Amid the exclamations of his personal doctor, Dai Linzhi fell heavily on the bed.

Outside Jiren Hall.

Wei Ge staggered, but he was holding a thin girl in his arms as he walked towards the gate step by step.

"Help, help."

Wei Ge shouted with all his strength, and Xiao Qi, who was helping at the door, immediately stepped forward to catch the two people who were about to fall.

"Someone, come quickly."

After a while, Li San came to the lobby, looked at the appearance of the two people, and frowned.

"Let everyone wear a mask. No matter who comes in, they must wear a mask."

People in the lobby were stunned.

"Didn't you hear? Go find a mask immediately."

Li San's cold voice came, and Gu Qingqing quickly reacted and ran to the inner hall. After a while, she took out a bag of prepared masks.

Uncle Gu also came out at this time and looked at the two people who were half lying on the chairs in a fever and confusion, "What is this?"

Li San nodded, "Uncle Gu, the wind is going to blow."

Uncle Gu's heart sank, and then he nodded seriously.

That afternoon, more and more people came to Jirentang. They all had the same symptoms, a high fever that would not go away.

In response, Gu Bo from Jirentang prepared disinfectant and not only sprayed it around, but also asked the infected people to clean it. For a time, the disease in the surrounding area was under control.

But this time, as Li San said, when the wind blows, it won't stick to one place.

In just two days, Xiangjiang became as 'quiet' as Edo.

And in this quietness, a place that was originally ignored suddenly became an existence that everyone yearned for.

Because there is a medicine hall there with a magical liquid that can control the flu.

In this regard, whether they are high-ranking officials, wealthy people, or low-level gangsters, as long as they have the flu, they all want to go in for treatment and life-saving treatment.

There are even some people with evil intentions who want to take measures. Unfortunately, the people there are very united this time.

The attacks from behind the scenes never came to the surface and were blocked by local gangs.

Later, all the entrances were taken over by the government, and no one was allowed to enter without an order. This made it even more difficult to think about what they shouldn't have.

But as the flu became more severe, the craving became more and more severe.

The whole of Xiangjiang is waiting for the final decision.

At this time, in the Jiren Hall, Dai Linzhi looked at the young man opposite him with a serious look on his face.

He had to come, not only because the medicine here cured him, but more importantly, the benefits.

Even if it's just a passing move, it's enough for them to make a profit.

If he dares to block this benefit, those people will eat him.

After all, he is not a pure Briton.

As for allies?

hehe

Their former Prime Minister once said that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Only profit can restore Great Britain's glory.

Ahem

"Mr. Li San, first of all I want to thank you. If it weren't for your help, I would still be unable to get out of bed right now."

"Saving lives and healing the wounded is what we dare to do, so you don't have to mind."

Dai Linzhi shrugged, but he was a little unhappy that the other party was charging money for his treatment.

The unhappiness is temporary, today's task must be completed.

"We need to have a good talk about the plum blossom heat-clearing and detoxifying liquid."

Li San nodded, "Sir, please tell me."

"I think both our country and you need this trade."

"So, I think it would be a pleasure for both of us to open a store here for communication and to communicate with each other. What do you think?"

Dai Linzhi did not directly explain the purchase of plum blossom liquid, but instead proposed to build a store, which was beyond Li San's expectation.

However, Li San nodded quickly. Anyway, the place was on their side and the management rights were theirs.

After thinking about it, Li San then looked at Dai Linzhi and said, "Dear Sir, as you have imagined, our cooperation will be a win-win situation for both of us."

"That would be great."

With that said, Dai Linzhi stood up and stretched out his proud right hand.

"I hope we can have a happy cooperation with each other."

"Will do."

...

Sijiucheng, Machinery Factory.

One workshop.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the rice cooker that was being assembled nervously in front of him with an expression full of anticipation.

These days, all the components of the rice cooker are in place. According to testing, these components have met the design requirements, which means that there should be no problems when assembled.

So today, Yang Xiaotao came to the first workshop to witness this historical moment.

Also coming was Wang Guodong, who was also curious about the magical rice cooker Yang Xiaotao talked about, which could make rice by just pressing the button.

You know, most rice is cooked in a large pot now.

This is a technical job. Not only do you need to add the right amount of water, but you also need to control the heat. More importantly, you need to lower the heat at the right time so that the rice can finally be cooked.

Once there is a slight mistake, either the bottom of the pot is burnt or there is uncooked rice.

When every grain of rice is worked hard, the wasted rice can make people feel distressed to death.

Therefore, a good pot and a good cook are so important for saving food and filling your stomach.

Wang Guodong put his hands behind his back and pinched them together. His expression was indifferent, but he was expecting in his heart.

This anticipation lasted most of the day.

Finally, Yang Xiaotao smiled and took two steps forward.

The workers who were inspecting it quickly got out of the way when they saw this. The rice cooker had already been made, but they were really not sure whether it could be used.

At the moment, it would be best for Yang Xiaotao to check it with his own hands.

Everyone is convinced of Yang Xiaotao's ability.

Yang Xiaotao took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, which everyone took for granted.

After putting it on, Yang Xiaotao picked up the rice cooker and looked at it carefully for a while. After turning on the power, he checked it, then put it down and waved to Lou Xiao'e beside him, "Go to the kitchen and get some rice."

Lou Xiao'e's face was filled with joy and she immediately ran away to the kitchen.

"Comrades, if nothing else happens, this rice cooker is finally ready."
