After eating a few more oysters, Li Yi asked the palace maid to help his sister-in-law to rest.
Judging from the time they arrived, they must be staying tonight.
Before dinner, Li Longji 'inspected' the workshop.
In the glass workshop, you are blowing glass, blowing light bulbs and blowing big bubbles.
After the big bubble is blown, it is cut on a hot iron plate, and then pressed gently with a roller, and a piece of flat glass appears.
There is also the blowing against the mold, blowing it in, and it becomes a glass bottle. When it is taken out, the position of the bottle mouth is rotated into another mold, and when it comes out, it has more texture.
Li Chengqi hid from the craftsmen, stood aside and watched, and said, "Who would have thought that the priceless glass outside could be made so easily."
Li Yi didn't want to talk to this person who didn't value technology. What does it mean to be easy?
Li Longji watched people swinging the blown glass around in the large trough on the ground in front of them.
As the glass is blown and thrown away, the bubble gradually elongates. When the temperature drops slightly, the blower holds a long hollow pole and puts the glass bubble into the furnace facing the outside at an angle to heat it.
Then the iron plate is put on, and someone cuts it with a knife, first cuts it, lays it flat, and then cuts it into small squares.
"This is a mirror." Li Longji recognized it.
A small piece is a mirror. Only the queen controls it in the palace. She can give it to whoever she wants. It is as precious as it is.
"Third brother is right. If you don't cut it now, wait until the large pieces are cold before cutting. It will cause too much damage." Li Yi looked at the glass and clenched his fist.
These are all ammunition for economic warfare. First use soap and toilet water to attack, and then change them to soap and perfume.
After the mirror, we go up layer by layer. The pursuit of luxury goods by human groups is the beginning of class differentiation.
Conflicts intensify when survival supplies are exchanged for luxury goods.
That’s why we have to levy a tax on the rich to provide subsidies to people with poor financial means. Taxation is to protect the rich.
"Can a telescope be made?" Li Longji looked at the glass and suddenly asked about a key thing, a telescope.
At first, Yi Di said that he would exchange his lifespan for ten, so Yi Di kept two, one for himself, and the other seven for the border troops.
In exchange for lifespan, naturally you can't ask for it again, but if you don't need the lifespan...
"Yes, it's just that I can't do the finesse I came up with." Li Yi admitted.
"Brother Yi, do it quickly. I will take you to the palace for your majesty."
Li Longji is becoming more and more skilled in role playing now.
It's your Majesty's name, and it doesn't feel inconsistent at all when shouting, it's so natural.
"In a few days, since there will be no major border wars this year, I will make some glasses for myopia and spectacles of various degrees. The technical requirements for grinding lenses are high."
Li Yi didn't talk about the specific technology, so he believed that the eldest brother and the third brother would not be willing to listen.
Li Longji felt relieved, as long as there was no big war.
Leave the glass workshop and go to the manual stamping workshop.
The man was pulling the gourd there, and a large iron block was pulled up. Below was a large iron plate with a slot on it.
The iron pieces were lifted up one by one, and when they were loosened, there was a clang, and the big iron pieces fell down. Those iron pieces turned into iron boxes, the outer and lower parts of the lighter.
The iron block was pulled up again, the iron box was taken out, and the iron pieces were placed again.
These iron boxes are sent to the next location to be assembled with the boxes above and other parts.
Put the inner core in and paint.
The last step is to pour a little alcohol in, hold it from a distance, and try to light it on fire.
"Fire sickle?" Li Chengqi was surprised.
Gao Lishi and the others left, and then he and Li Longji came, without giving them the lighter.
Therefore, Li Longji became curious, has it become so easy to make a fire?
With a swipe of your finger, a flame appeared and kept burning.
"Lighter, use alcohol. The eldest brother and third brother will take some with them when they leave. If the alcohol in it is gone, come to me to add more." Li Yi said.
"How much does it cost for someone else to add it once?" Li Chengqi thought of glycerin. The glass bottle of glycerin was given away for free. After using it, he couldn't stop using it.
"Ordinary people have enough fire sickles." Li Yi said another thing.
"Sure enough, it's expensive. Can ordinary spirits be ignited?" Li Chengqi was worried that alcohol would not be easy to sell.
"It's absolutely impossible to light it, not even the fifty-percent wine we drank, unless you use another lighter to light it." Li Yi said with a smile.
"It's a good thing. Brother, I will help you take it and give it away." Li Chengqi assured him with a pat on his chest.
In the past, he would have felt sad seeing Li Yi giving away things.
Now I can’t, so I give them away. The more I give away, the more Yi Di earns.
Li Longji thought of something else: "Brother Yi, do you use millet to make wine?"
"Third brother said there is no imperial court..." Li Yi asked about the license.
"No, you can brew it if you want. Brother Wei just wants to know how much grain you will consume." Li Longji said.
"I use grains fed to livestock to make wine, add wheat straw and other things, and then distill it. The final lees can be fed to livestock. As long as the fermentation process can keep up, other things can be used to make wine."
Li Yi introduced the situation. Nowadays, people in some remote places still eat distiller's grains. Eating a little is better than going hungry.
When making other rice, add the distiller's grains to make dough, grab two handfuls of the distiller's grains and throw them in to make pancakes and steam steamed buns.
Others are also used to feed livestock. As for throwing it into the ground as fertilizer, it is impossible.
"Can the method be spread?" Li Longji was concerned about wine making.
"It's not good to spread it out. This wine is not good for people's health after drinking it. It can only be used to fill lighters. I don't dare to use it for medical treatment. It needs to be purified and purified again, and then checked for other problems before it can be blended into 75 Spend."
Li Yi refused. He could guarantee that if the method spreads, someone will brew wine and sell it to others.
The wine has not been distilled, and is filtered through cloth. Many things cannot be filtered out.
"Then forget it." Li Longji did not force it.
He thought that wine could be made from other things, so he restricted the use of good grains to save food.
Leave from here and enter the toilet water workshop, where UU reads www.uukanshu.net various distillation equipment are displayed.
Even if it is cold, doors should be opened for ventilation, and anything with fire should be strictly prohibited from entering.
I was worried that the concentration of alcohol in the air would be high, and then there would be a bang.
Here, the taste is not good and I feel a little dizzy. After a few glances, a few people stopped turning and rushed to the canteen. It was already time to eat.
Queen Wang washed her hands and was waiting. There were a lot of fish in the canteen today.
It is fished out of Ba River, part of it is made into dried fish, and part of it is directly turned into delicacies.
Some have all the bones removed, are wrapped in bread crumbs and fried, and some are made from sticks and mashed into puree to make fish balls.
As for steaming and braised, they have no technical content.
"It's just comfortable to eat in uncle's room." Wang and Queen came back and said to Li Yi with a smile.
When she said comfortable, she meant more at ease.
"What my sister-in-law said is true, food is the first priority for the people, and food safety is the first priority." Li Yi followed up.
"Today I ordered the biggest dish, fish head stewed with tofu." Queen Wang took the decision and selected the main dishes she wanted to eat.
