Chapter 4 Manual Oxygen Supply
Second Uncle Li didn't lie at all, Lao Zhangtou was indeed a master craftsman in the army back then, and he couldn't say that his skills were good.
After Merton said what he requested, Lao Zhangtou was able to make it accurately, and sometimes even the problems that Merton had not thought of could be thought of by Lao Zhangtou.
"Young Master! It's done! Lao Zhangtou smeared an unknown glue, sealed it, and laid it out on the table.
Suddenly, a group of heads surrounded them.
A small drum-like thing, a crank is installed on the round side, and a long leather tube is installed at the end, Merton stepped forward and gently shake it, which can fill the long tube below with air, and then press it out from the end of the tube, feeling the gas running out of the end of the tube, Merton nodded with satisfaction.
"That's good? This thing will keep the fish alive! Li Yi said with a questioning face.
"Of course! If you don't believe it, you'll see tomorrow. Merton looked at the simple hand-cranked oxygen concentrator in his hand, and his heart was extremely proud.
Oxygen supply machine, which is a common thing in the fish market after the market, is not rare at all, and it is all electric, saving time and effort. However, the oxygen supply machine made by Merton needs to be hand-cranked, which is many times more troublesome, but it is an epoch-making product here, with this oxygen supply machine, not to mention transporting fish into Chang'an City, even raising fish for a year and a half without anything.
"Thank you Uncle Zhang this time." Merton said gratefully, if it weren't for this master craftsman in the army, Merton would not have been able to make an oxygen supply machine even if he had a full head of ideas.
"The young master has killed the old man, although the old man doesn't know how the young master learned this method, but I have a hunch that I will be able to do it this time!" Lao Zhangtou said.
"Really?"
Everyone is overjoyed, Lao Zhangtou is a master in the army, even in the arsenal bureau where there are many masters, Lao Zhangtou is also one of the best masters, and now Merton's seemingly nonsense things can be affirmed by Lao Zhangtou, and everyone's confidence is a little more.
"All thanks to Uncle Zhang's old skills!" Merton said.
"But this method seems to be magical, but everyone just didn't think of it, if someone knows its principle, they can imitate it, and then the advantages of our Mojia Village will be gone, and I hope Uncle Zhang will keep it secret."
"Young master, rest assured, the old man is also a member of Mojia Village, this is related to the survival of thousands of people in Mojia Village, the old man will hold this recipe even if he fights for this old life, and the old man will build the device inside, and will not hand it over to anyone, even if someone puts the knife on the old man's neck, the old man will not reveal a little." The old man assured loudly.
"Uncle Zhang can't help it, if it really comes to that point, Uncle Zhang is still important, in the nephew's mind, even this recipe is not as important as Uncle Zhang, this recipe is gone, I have other methods, if Uncle Zhang has any mistakes, I will regret it for life." Merton said solemnly.
"The young master is serious" Lao Zhangtou was moved in his heart, the status of the craftsman in this era is very low, even if Lao Zhangtou is a master craftsman in the army, and now Merton would rather lose this recipe that can create huge wealth, but also to keep him, how can he not be moved.
"Bang!" Li Yiyi slapped the table and suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Young master, don't worry, our Mojia Village is not easy to mess with, if someone dares to offend Mojia Village, the old man will not be able to return what he has." ”
Li Yi was furious, and a fierce murderous aura permeated, as if the fierce general who had killed seven times in and seven out of the army had returned.
Indeed, Mojia Village is the descendants of warriors who retired from the army that year, and the style of martial arts prevails, and they have never lost a fight with the people of the surrounding villages.
It can be said that Mojia Village's reputation is not good, half because it is poor, and it is generally because it is fierce.
Ziyi had never seen Li Yi so fierce, and his head shrank in fright.
"Second Uncle Li is angry!" Merton hurriedly shouted to calm Li Yi's anger.
"The young master forgives the sin, the old man has lost his temper!" Li Yi was frightened when he saw it, and Ziyi apologized again and again.
Then a shout was heard.
"Master, the fish is coming!" Fauber's voice came from the house.
"Teng!"
Everyone stood up, a hint of anticipation flashed in their eyes, it was time to test Merton's words, if it really succeeded, then there would be hope for the entire Mojia Village.
A waterwheel was pulled in by the youths of the four villages, and the fish master walked in the front, and the commander parked the waterwheel.
Ziyi jumped the most, rushed up as soon as possible, stretched out his head to look at the fish, but found that the waterwheel had been closed.
"Uncle Yu! Hurry up and open it! Ziyi said in a coquettish voice.
"Young Master!" Master Yu greeted and waved his hand, and four villagers stepped forward to open the water wheel. ”
"So many fish!" Everyone stretched out their heads and couldn't help but exclaim.
I saw a piece of black pressure in the waterwheel, there were at least fifty fish in it, each of which was about five catties, because there were more fish and less water, the oxygen in the water was almost consumed, and many fish had begun to float their heads on the surface of the water, wanting to breathe a little more oxygen.
"Young Master, your method is really feasible, according to the past practice, if so many fish are concentrated in this waterwheel, they won't survive for half an hour." Fauber said worriedly.
Mojia Village is very poor, and if these fifty fish die for no reason, it will be a big loss.
"Half an hour?" Merton smiled slightly, touched the manual oxygen supply in his hand, and said confidently: "Leave two people, I promise that you will still see live fish tomorrow." ”
Seeing Merton's confident appearance, everyone was a little convinced that Merton really had the certainty of a live fish, and a trace of expectation flashed in their eyes.
"Yu Er, Li Xin! You two stay and follow the instructions of the young master! Li Yi pointed to two young men in their twenties and said.
"Yes!" The two responded in unison.
Yu Er is the second son of Master Yu, Li Xinai is Li Yi's eldest son, the two have already learned the young master's plan from their father's mouth, if they can really help the young master do this, the first to benefit will be the two of them, thinking of this, the two of them are full of energy.
"Push the waterwheel into the side house, this will be the secret of our Mojia Village, the two of you must keep your mouth shut about this matter, if it is known by outsiders, then the advantages of our Mojia Village will be gone." Merton said solemnly.
"Young master, don't worry, if they delay the big event in Mojia Village, the old man will clean up the portal himself!" Li Yi stared at Li Xin viciously and said, Li Xin shuddered when he said it, and Merton thought of what happened to him, and couldn't help but look at Li Xin with sympathy.
On the side, the fish master also instructed his children.
"Young master, don't worry, we know for ourselves, and we will definitely keep our mouths shut!" Li Xin and the others hurriedly said.
"Bang dang!"
Merton led the two into the side room, and closed the door of the side room heavily, blocking everyone's curious eyes out, including the curious purple clothes, this girl couldn't satisfy her curiosity, and her small mouth was high.
However, the more this is the case, the happier Li Yi and these old men are, because it is Merton's such caution that shows that Merton attaches great importance to this, which increases their confidence by a few points.
Squeak! The door to the side room opened, and Merton stepped out of it, and then heard the sound of locking inside.
"Will the tools work?" Lao Zhangtou asked nervously.
Morton smiled slightly and said in a loud voice: "The tool is used smoothly, and everyone will be able to see the fish that are still alive when they come tomorrow." ”
"Oh!" The crowd shouted with joy.
Hearing the thunderous cheers outside, Li Xin and Yu in the side room looked at each other, accompanied by only the sound of the hula and hula of the oxygen supply and the gurgling bubbles.
I couldn't help but look at the toy-like thing in my hand, and wondered in my heart: "It's that simple!" ”
