Those Who Engage In Chemistry Go To Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 125: The Magical Use Of Wooden Boats

Today's work is very busy, Leng Rui took Bu Jun and Guan Hua to start fleshing the remaining few snapping turtle skins.

After yesterday's exercise, today's speed is much faster.

The cooperation between internal energy and consciousness is more natural, there is no need to deliberately control the output of internal energy, it is a natural movement. It should be big if it should be big, small if it should be small, thick if it should be thick, and thin if it should be thin.

Gradually, several people lost their intentions, Internal Energy and consciousness have been integrated into one, and there is no longer any gap.

This kind of cultivation method, I am afraid that it also belongs to the group that hits the right side, but the effect is extremely fast.

Dahu took Fan Xiaowen and Hui Yingqin to chop up the dried leaves and put them in the distillation barrel.

Then, when the stove was lit, the water in the pot gradually boiled, and the steam became thicker and thicker, and then condensed and flowed out from the pottery tube in the distillation barrel.

All the water that flows out falls into a wooden barrel below.

Slowly, pieces of white crystals condensed out of the barrel.

Dahu took out a piece and smelled it, with joy on his face.

"Third Junior Brother! It's Dipterocarpus! It's really Dipterocarpus!" Duhu shouted loudly.

Leng Rui put down the work in his hands, and hurried over to grab a piece and smell it. It was indeed dipterocarp, the same as the one I saw in Tong Shan Tang.

Wu Fengyan, who had been watching nervously, also surrounded her.

"Brother Leng! Is this Dipterocarpus?"

Leng Rui nodded and said, "Smell it, it's a fragrance."

Wu Fengyan took a small piece of dipterocarp, carefully brought it close to her nose, and sniffed lightly.

"It turns out that this is dipterocarp, which tastes similar to camphor tree." Wu Fengyan said after hearing it.

"Haha! There are very few borneol camphor trees. It happens that you have this kind of tree here, and you can't find it in other places." Leng Rui said with a smile.

"Since it's so precious, I'll take someone to pick it today." Wu Fengyan got excited.

Leng Rui took out one hundred taels of silver, handed it to Wu Fengyan and said, "We will pay one hundred taels first, and buy it from you at one hundred taels of silver, do you think it will work?"

"That's great! Anyway, the women in the village have nothing to do. They can make money by picking some leaves. Everyone must be happy." Wu Fengyan blushed slightly, and took the bank note generously.

Leng Rui felt relieved for a while, he was very afraid that Wu Fengyan would not accept the money, now that he has accepted it, he has no psychological burden.

"One-handed money and one-handed goods, it's good to clear the silver and goods." Leng Rui muttered to himself.

A few carpenters came from the village, and Leng Rui asked them to build a bamboo shed on the open space beside a small river outside the village, and then help them make some wooden frames to put the boat on.

Drill two holes in the bottom of the boat, plug them with corks, and at the same time, repair a drainage ditch.

Negotiate a good price, several carpenters measure the size,

Clanking and started to work.

Leng Rui felt a little sorry, he knew that the cooked leather would produce a lot of waste water.

Therefore, he chose the address outside the village, lest the smell and sewage affect the life of the villagers.

"Hey! After going to the world of cultivating immortals, it is really a crime to pollute the environment of others! I don't know if there is any immortal method to cook skin?"

At about noon, Er Niu came back.

Du Hu and Leng Rui quickly dragged him into the house, both wanting to know the result of the negotiation.

"Is everything settled?" Da Hu asked.

"It's done!" Er Niu said excitedly.

"What's the result?" Dahu asked eagerly.

"The villagers here are very simple, and they don't ask too much. We can use the place as we like, and we can give each person ten taels of silver every year." Er Niu said.

"So cheap?" Leng Rui was a little strange.

"Third Junior Brother, this is not cheap anymore. You can get ten taels of silver for nothing, and you can eat and drink for a year without worrying about it." Er Niu said.

Leng Rui froze for a moment, then understood, yes! According to the life level of this world, ten taels of silver can fill one's stomach.

"In addition, they work here with us, and they are paid monthly, and the fur and medicinal materials are purchased at a price..." Er Niu finished the negotiation result in one breath.

"That's right, just don't let the villagers suffer!" Leng Rui said.

Three days later, the whole village gathered around a place outside the village to watch the excitement.

The newly purchased wooden hull was erected with two wooden frames, one in front and one in the back, two feet above the ground.

There are four thick wooden pillars on both sides of the center of the hull, two on each side side by side, about three feet high, and a horizontal pillar on top.

There are several large iron rings nailed to the horizontal post, and several ropes are passed through the middle.

"Why is this boat still hoisted?" The spectators couldn't understand.

"I haven't seen anything cooked here! How familiar?" Someone muttered.

"What are these kids doing?" Fifth Master also squeezed into the crowd, thinking about it all the time.

"Ding Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!" As the bells on the horses' necks rang, several carriages pulled things in one after another.

When the first car pulled four pieces of golden snapping turtle skins that had been fleshed out, the second car pulled three golden and two gray-black skins. There are two more cars behind, pulling a lot of wooden barrels, and I don't know what is in them.

Leng Rui, Bu Jun, and Guan Hua jumped off the first car and began to move the skin down. This piece of skin weighed a thousand catties, and the three of them easily moved it down.

"Divine power!" The crowd applauded.

Wang Damao jumped out of the second car and shouted at the crowd.

"Hey! Old Young Masters, come over and help us unload the things!"

Hearing Wang Damao's shout, a dozen young and strong men came over laughingly and helped unload the truck together.

Leng Rui came over with a bucket of salt and poured it all into the boat.

Then, together with Bu Jun and Guan Hua, they went to fetch water from the small river next to them with buckets.

A bamboo frame was set up beside the small river, and several thick bamboos were cut in two. This has just become a simple and easy water delivery device.

The three of Leng Rui fetched buckets of water from the small river, poured them on the bamboo pipes, and the clear water of the small river flowed into the boat.

This is also a hard job. If you want to fill the boat, it is not enough to have one hundred and eighty barrels of water.

Wang Damao looked at it for a long time and burst out laughing.

"Brother Leng, you have worked so hard! How easy it is to install a water truck!"

Leng Rui came to his senses after hearing this. yes! Just install a waterwheel and step on it with your feet. Why didn't you think of it?

Waterwheels have existed on the earth for thousands of years, and have been used to irrigate farmland in rural areas. I have seen them in books and movies, but I just don't think of them.

"Wang Dage, people in the village know how to make waterwheels?" Leng Rui asked while working.

"Yes! Those carpenters know how to do it. I'll let them do it right away." Wang Damao laughed.

When the boat was half full of water, Leng Rui took a wooden stick and stirred it to dissolve all the salt put in just now.

After the salt was dissolved, Leng Rui said to Bu Jun and Guan Hua, "Come on, give me a hand and put the skin in."

Three people lifted the skin, tied it with rope, raised it up slowly, little by little, and carefully put it into the boat.

Several times before and after, four skins were put in, and the water in the boat rose up and was about to overflow.

"Okay! Just put that much!" Leng Rui said, and the three of them stopped.

The onlookers understood that the boat was used as a big wooden barrel.

There was a burst of noise from the crowd, applauding one after another.

"I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it, otherwise such a big piece of skin would really have nothing to hold!"

Fifth Master twirled his beard and kept nodding.

"Awesome! Awesome! These little dolls are too powerful! They even figured out this way!"

Standing in the crowd, Wu Fengyan also looked surprised. Like the villagers, she only now understands why she bought a boat.

"These people are really extraordinary. Why do these heads grow?"
