Chapter 28 Distillation Equipment
The money is considerable, and Li Mu can't help the excitement in his heart. He's an impatient, and he can't wait to do it right away. Unfortunately, the sun was setting at this time, and there were no tools at hand, so I had to wait until tomorrow.
In the evening, Li Siwen asked his private chef to send four dishes, which were very exquisite and delicious. Even Bai Gensheng, who only knows meat, praised it, of course Li Mu understood what Li Siwen meant, this product must be because he did something wrong, he was embarrassed to show up, and he was worried that he would be angry, so he sent vegetables to test. Li Mu kept the dishes, but he didn't mean to forgive them immediately. Li Siwen's character, if you are too obedient to him, he still can't get rid of this problem, you have to let him remember it for a long time, so that he can realize that there is something wrong with his approach.
Therefore, Li Mu decided to be absent from work. He wasn't ready to go to work until he got the distillation equipment done.
The next day, Li Mu did not get up early as usual, but went out from home at three o'clock in the morning. His first stop was not the Yamen, but the ordnance supervisor not far from the next door. After receiving the order to return, the ordnance supervisor had stopped working. The craftsmen have been out of the house for more than a year, and they are eager to fly back to Chang'an one day, and they have packed their luggage early. Lao Tietou was no exception, seeing Li Mu coming, he thought that it was time for them, and he was much more enthusiastic than every time they met before.
"Iron Supervisor, the Ordnance Supervisor will not be able to leave until tomorrow, today is the order of the wounded soldiers, I came today for something else, aren't you going to leave, I don't know if the guy who strikes iron can sell me a set, it's not a secret, I like ironwork very much, and when I'm free, I just study and study."
"Hey! What should I do? No problem, I'll have someone send you home later! When the old iron head heard this, he readily agreed, as a blacksmith, who doesn't have a few sets of guys to prepare, they come out of the house, and the set they bring will definitely not be the best, at most it can be used, and they are reluctant to take it back, and it is really heavy to move it back, if it can be exchanged for money and travel lightly, it is the best. has Li Siwen's face, and the old iron head didn't dare to calculate Li Mu's too expensive price, but it was really not low. Li Mu hurried to use it, didn't care about these, and directly gave cash. Talking about the remaining iron ingots again, the old iron head also calculated a price that was neither high nor low, and sold the remaining unused iron ingots to Li Mu.
With this large pile of things, Li Mu himself can't move it. It happened that the craftsmen were idle at this time, so the old iron head sent a few people to help Li Mu send him home, anyway, it was not far, a few steps away. Li Mu first asked these people to put things in the yard, and then moved them to the front yard shop in the same way, this shop he didn't give Bai Hao'er, just for this, he wanted to transform the shop in the front yard into a 'studio', specializing in making things that are inconvenient for outsiders to see.
The distillation equipment for high-grade liquor is the basic equipment for brewing skills, so the production level requirements are very low. Beginner carpentry can learn drawings, and after doing a set, the skill proficiency is given a lot, because there are many delicate parts, which is very cumbersome. In the game, it is not common for someone to make all the parts by one person, buy the parts at the auction house, and then learn how to assemble the drawings. But Li Mu doesn't have an auction house, so he can only do it himself.
Although this set of equipment is a carpentry drawing, its core component, the steam cooling pipe, needs to be forged. Iron must be used for the cooling pipes, and if wood is used, it is difficult for the steam to cool down, and the wine will also soak into the wood, causing great waste. Li Mu bought the guy who struck iron in order to build these parts.
Li Mu moved by himself for a while, sweating profusely and tired, and there was still a lot left. It's not a problem to go on like this, and after thinking about it, Li Mu went to the ordnance supervisor to call people again. After taking out 200 yuan, the craftsmen who had just helped him move his things came over again, not only helped him move into the house, but also helped him assemble them, and the iron felt, stove, quenching crucible, etc., were all placed in a convenient position according to experience. Li Mu couldn't help but sigh that money still works, if you ask for someone, don't say it, people don't necessarily give you this face, but take some money out, no matter how much it won't cost, at least you can do it happily!
Qian Jing was in front of him, and Li Mu couldn't wait for a moment. After sending the craftsmen away, he raised the stove. The drawings of the parts in the distillation equipment do not need to be bought separately, and if you learn a drawing of the equipment, the drawings of the small parts will automatically appear in the skill list. Li Mu melted the iron ingot, silently used his skills, and struck it with a clang.
It was a long time, and when Bai Qiaoqiao and Sun came back, Li Mu had already knocked out the iron pipe. After testing, the sealing degree is good, and it can fully meet the standard. Li Mu put these iron pipes aside, went to find the birch wood left over from the furniture, prepared the chisel, axe and saw, and began to make wooden parts. Seeing that he was busy, Bai Qiaoqiao and the others didn't dare to disturb. He put his supper in the house and quietly withdrew.
Li Mu did his work, not asking about the time, only looking at the physical strength. It doesn't take much stamina to make these small parts, and by the time he runs out of stamina, it's basically about the same. Looking out the window, the sky has already revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly. It turned out that he had been busy for almost a day and a night, Li Mu rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the dinner plate next to him, he knew that someone had brought food.
He was indeed hungry, and he didn't care if it was cold or not, so he picked up chopsticks and had to eat.
"Don't eat this, there's something hot in the pot, I'll get it for you." Li Mu looked for the sound, and it was Bai Qiaoqiao.
"You're not in the backyard, why are you here? What about roots? ”
Bai Qiaoqiao picked up the dinner plate and said, "Gensheng wants to move to the yamen to live with those catchers, and seeing that you are busy and don't dare to disturb, I will make the decision and agree." I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I waited here and slept for a while. ”
"Oh." Li Mu suddenly felt very warm, whether it was in his previous life or now, he didn't listen to things outside the window when he worked, overtime has become a habit for him, he doesn't feel very tired, and it doesn't matter if he has a cold meal, for a single code farmer, it's already good to have food, and dare to pick hot and cold? I don't know how many sleepless nights of overtime, he didn't even bother to cook instant noodles, so he grabbed them and nibbled them directly. Bai Qiaoqiao was able to stay up all night for him, which made Li Mu feel very sorry, and at the same time, it was also a novel experience for him, after all, his girlfriends in his previous life had never done such a thing.
After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao brought the rice that was hot in the pot. Li Mu's physical strength was exhausted, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he picked up chopsticks and ate violently. Bai Qiaoqiao sat next to her and watched with her cheeks raised, the candlelight flickered, and her black and white eyes seemed to have been filled with the man in front of her.
Unconsciously, the corners of her mouth hooked up a soft arc.
