Chapter 28 Distillation Equipment
The money is impressive, and Li Mu can't help but feel excited. He is impatient and wants to start working immediately. Unfortunately, the sun is setting and there is no tools at hand, so he has to wait until tomorrow.
In the evening, Li Siwen asked his private kitchen to deliver four dishes, which were very exquisite and tasted good. Even Bai Gensheng, who only recognized meat, praised them very much. Of course, Li Mu understood what Li Siwen meant. This guy must have been embarrassed to show up because he did something bad, and was worried that he would be angry, so he sent the dishes to test them. Li Mu kept the dishes but did not mean to forgive him immediately. If you obey him too much, he would still not be able to correct this problem. He had to make him remember more to realize that there was something wrong with his practice.
So, Li Mu decided to absent from work. He was not going to go to work until the distillation equipment was completed.
The next day, Li Mu did not get up early as before, but went out from home only to the middle of the day. His first stop was not the yamen, but the military weapon prison not far from the door. After receiving the order to return, the military weapon prison had stopped working. The craftsmen had been out of their home for more than a year, and they were eager to return home, hoping to fly back to Chang'an one day and pack their luggage early. Lao Tietou was no exception. When he saw Li Mu coming, he thought that they had arrived, and he was much more enthusiastic than every time he met.
"Iron Supervisor, the military weapon supervisor will not leave tomorrow. Today is the order of wounded soldiers. I have something else to come today. Are you leaving now? I don't know if the guy who is a blacksmith can sell me a trick. To be honest, I like ironsmith very much. After I wait, I just happen to study it."
"Hey! I think it's something! No problem, I'll send it to you later!" Lao Tietou agreed readily. As a blacksmith, who doesn't have many sets of guys, they come out of their homes, and the set they bring will definitely not be the best. At most, they can be used, and they can't bear to take it back. It's really heavy to move back. If it can be exchanged for money and lightweight, it would be great. With Li Siwen's face, Lao Tietou didn't dare to calculate that Li Mu was too expensive, but it was not low. Li Mu rushed to use it, but he didn't care about these things, so he directly gave cash. He talked about the remaining iron ingots, and Lao Tietou also calculated a price that was neither high nor low, and sold all the remaining unused iron ingots to Li Mu.
Li Mu couldn't move this pile of things by himself. The craftsmen were idle at this time, so Lao Tietou sent a few people to help Li Mu deliver them to his house. It was not far away anyway, and he arrived in a few steps. Li Mu first asked these people to put the things in the yard, and then moved them to the front yard shop one by one. He did not give Bai Naoer this shop. It was for this purpose that he wanted to transform the shop in the front yard into a "studio" to specialize in making some things that are inconvenient to be seen by outsiders.
The distillation equipment of high-alcohol is the basic equipment for brewing skills, so the production level requirements are very low. Primary carpenters can learn drawings, and after doing one set, they have a lot of skill proficiency because there are many fine parts, which is very cumbersome. In the game, no one usually makes all the parts by himself and buys parts at the auction house, and then learns the assembly of drawings. However, Li Mu has no auction house, so he can only do it himself.
Although this set of equipment is a woodworking drawing, its core component, the steam cooling pipe needs to be forged. The cooling pipe must be made of iron. If wood is used, it will be difficult to cool the steam, and the wine will be immersed in the wood, causing great waste. Li Mu bought the iron to make these parts.
Li Mu moved for a while, and was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and there was still a lot of them left. It was not a big deal to continue like this. After thinking for a while, Li Mu went to the military weapon supervisor to call for someone again. He took out two hundred cents of money, and the craftsmen who just helped him move things came over again. Not only did he help him move into the house, but he also helped him assemble them. Iron felt, stoves, quenched crucibles, etc. were placed in a convenient position according to experience. Li Mu couldn't help but sigh that money was still useful. If you ask for someone, don't say that you have a big face, they may not give you this face, but if you take some money, no matter how much you don't spend, at least you will do your job well!
With the money in front, Li Mu couldn't wait for a moment. After sending the craftsmen away, he lifted the stove up. The parts drawings in the distillation equipment did not need to be purchased separately. After learning a equipment drawing, the drawings of small parts would automatically appear in the skill list. Li Mu melted the iron ingots, silently recited the skills, and knocked them down.
After working for a while, when Bai Qiaoqiao and Sun came back, Li Mu had already knocked the iron pipes. After testing, the sealing was good and it could meet the standards. Li Mu put the iron pipes aside, and then went to find the birch wood left over from the furniture, prepared all the chisels and saws, and started making wooden parts. Seeing that he was busy, Bai Qiaoqiao and others dared not disturb him. He put the supper in the house and quietly retreated.
When Li Mu worked, he didn't care about the time, but only looked at the physical strength value. He didn't use much physical strength value to make these small parts. When his physical strength value was exhausted, it was basically almost the same. He looked out the window and the sky was covered with white fish belly. He had been busy for almost a day and a night. Li Mu rubbed his eyes and saw the plate next to him, and only then did he know that someone had delivered the meal.
He was indeed hungry, and he didn't care whether it was cold or not. He picked up the chopsticks and wanted to eat it.
"Don't eat this, there is something hot in the pot, I'll get it for you." Li Mu Xunsheng looked at it and it turned out to be Bai Qiaoqiao.
"You are not in the backyard, why are you here? Where is Gensheng?"
Bai Qiaoqiao picked up the dining plate and said, "Gensheng wants to move to the yamen to live with the constables. Seeing that you were busy and didn't dare to disturb me, I made the decision and agreed. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I waited here and had a sleep."
"Oh." Li Mu suddenly felt very heartwarming. Whether in his previous life or now, he turned a blind eye to the things outside the window when he did his work. Working overtime has become a habit for him. He doesn't feel very tired, and cold rice doesn't matter. For a single coder, it's already good to have rice, and he dares to pick cold and hot? There are countless sleepless nights when he works overtime. He is too lazy to cook instant noodles, so he just grabs it and eats it. Bai Qiaoqiao was able to stay up all night for him, which made Li Mu feel sorry for him, and 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 hot rice in the pot. Li Mu's physical strength was exhausted, and he was so hungry that he put his chest on his back. He picked up the chopsticks and ate it hard. Bai Qiaoqiao sat next to him and held his chin and watched. The candlelight swayed, and her black and white eyes seemed to have been filled with the man in front of her.
