Chapter 157: Workshop Seat Skills First (Fourth Update)
After eating a few more oysters, Li Yi asked the palace maid to help his sister-in-law to rest.
Judging by the time when the two of them came, tonight must be a stay.
Before dinner, Li Longji 'inspected' the workshop.
In the glass workshop, it is to blow glass, blow light bulbs, and blow big bubbles.
After the big bubble is blown, it is cut on the hot iron plate, and then a roller is gently pressed, and a flat glass appears.
There is also blowing on the mold, blowing in, becoming a glass bottle, taking it out, the position of the bottle mouth into another mold to rotate, and then coming out has more texture.
Li Chengqi hid from the craftsman, stood by and watched, and said, "Who would have thought that the priceless glass outside would be made so easily. ”
Li Yi is reluctant to talk to this person who doesn't pay attention to technology, what does it mean to be easy?
Li Longji watched as the person shook the blown glass around in the big groove on the ground in front of him.
When the glass is blown and thrown off, the bubble is gradually lengthened, and when the temperature drops slightly, the person who blows the glass holds a large hollow pole and puts the glass bubble into the furnace at an angle to the outside to heat.
Then on the iron plate, someone cut it with a knife, first cut it, spread it, and then cut it into small squares.
"This is a mirror." Li Longji recognized it.
A small piece is a mirror, only the queen in the palace is in control, and she can give it to whoever she wants, and she will be as precious as she wants.
"The third brother is right, if you don't cut it now, wait for the large pieces to cool and then cut them, there will be too much damage." Li Yi looked at the glass and clenched his fists.
These are all ammunition for economic warfare, first with soap and toilet water, and then changed to soap and perfume.
After the mirror, and then up, layer by layer, the pursuit of luxury goods by the human race is the beginning of class differentiation.
Contradictions intensify when subsistence goods are exchanged for luxury goods.
That's why we have to tax the rich, subsidize the economically poor, and tax to protect the rich.
"What can a telescope do?" Li Longji looked at the glass and suddenly asked a key thing, a telescope.
At the beginning, Yi Di said that there were only ten in exchange for life, and Yi Di kept two, kept one for himself, and gave the other seven to the border army.
In exchange for life, naturally you can't ask for it anymore, but if you don't need it......
"Yes, but I can't do the finesse I took out." Li Yi admitted.
"Brother Yi, hurry up, send your brother to the palace for you, to Your Majesty."
Li Longji is now becoming more and more proficient in role-playing.
One by one, His Majesty, shouting does not feel disobedient at all, it is so natural.
"In a few days, there will be no major war at the border this year, so I will make some myopia glasses and glasses of various degrees. Grinding lenses are technically demanding. ”
Li Yiwei said specific techniques, I believe that the eldest brother and the third brother will not be willing to listen.
Li Longji let go of a lot of hearts, and it was good that there was no big war.
Leave the glass workshop and transfer to the manual stamping workshop.
There the man dragged the gourd, and a large piece of iron was pulled up, and below it was a large iron plate, and there was a groove on the iron plate.
One by one, the pieces of iron were squared up, and as soon as they were loosened, there was a clang, and the large pieces of iron fell, and those pieces of iron became iron boxes, and the parts outside and below the lighter.
The iron block was pulled up again, the iron box was taken out, and the iron sheet was put again.
These tin boxes are sent to the next place to be assembled with the boxes and other parts above.
The inner core is put in and painted.
The last process is to pour in a little alcohol, take it away, and try to ignite it.
"Fire Scythe?" Li Chengqi was surprised.
Gao Lishi and they left, and then he and Li Longji came, and the lighters were not given to them yet.
Therefore, Li Longji became curious, has it become so simple to make a fire?
With a slip of his finger, the flame kept coming.
"Lighter, use alcohol, the eldest brother and the third brother bring some when they leave, the alcohol in it is gone, come to me and add it." Li Yi said.
"How much does it cost someone else to add once?" Li Chengqi thought of glycerin, the glass bottle of glycerin was given away for nothing, and the glycerin could not be stopped when it was used.
"Ordinary people have enough fire sickles." Li Yi said another thing.
"Sure enough, it's a lot of money. Can regular spirits be ignited? Li Chengqi was worried that alcohol would not sell well.
"Absolutely not, not even the 50 proof wine we drink, unless we use another lighter." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Good things, take them for you for my brother and give them away." Li Chengqi patted his chest and promised.
In the past, he would feel distressed when he saw Li Yi giving away things.
Now I can't, send, the more I send, the more Brother Yi earns.
Li Longji thought of something else: "Brother Yi, do you use millet to make wine?" ”
"The third brother is saying that there is no imperial court ......," Li Yi asked about the permit.
"No, you can brew it if you want to, my brother just wants to know how much food you have to consume." Li Longji said.
"I use the grains that I feed the animals, add wheat stalks or something, and then distill them, and the final sake lees can be fed to the livestock, and as long as the fermentation process keeps up, everything else can be brewed."
Li Yi introduced the situation, some people still eat wine lees in remote places, and it is better to eat a little than to be hungry.
When making other meals, add sake lees and noodles, grab two handfuls of sake lees and throw them into the pancakes and steamed buns.
The others are also used to feed the livestock, and as for throwing them in the field as fertilizer, it is impossible.
"Can the method be passed on?" Li Longji cares about winemaking.
"It's not good to pass it on, this wine, people drink it is not good for the body, it can only be used to fill a lighter, I don't dare to use it to see a doctor, that needs to be purified and purified again, and then check if there are other problems, so that it can be blended to seventy-five degrees."
Li Yi refused, he dared to guarantee that if the method spread, someone would brew wine and sell it to people.
The wine had never been distilled, and then it was filtered with a cloth, and a lot of things couldn't be filtered out.
"Forget it." Li Longji did not force it.
He thought that he would use other things to make wine, so he limited it to brewing it with good grain, so as to save food.
Leave from here and enter the toilet water workshop, where various distillation equipment is displayed.
Even if it's cold, open the doors to ventilate, and strictly prohibit anything with fire from entering.
I was worried about the concentration of alcohol in the air, and then it boomed.
Here, the taste is not good, a little dizzy, look at a few times, a few people do not turn, rush to the canteen, it is time to eat.
Queen Wang is waiting after washing her hands, there are a lot of fish in the canteen today.
Some of them are made into dried fish, and some of them are directly turned into delicacies.
There are those that are fried with bread crumbs with all the bones removed, and there are also fish balls made with a stick and pureed.
As for what kind of steaming and braised are not technical.
"It's just that it's comfortable to eat at my uncle's house." The three of them came back and said to Li Yi with a smile.
When she said comfortable, she meant more peace of mind.
"What my sister-in-law said is good, the people take food as the sky, and food is the first thing." Li Yi followed and said.
"Today I ordered the biggest dish, stewed tofu with fish head." The queen made the decision, and chose the main dish, and what was on the table was that she wanted to eat.
