Chapter 237 Cutting down trees
Actually, Li Le has a lot of rooms here, including six in the east and west wing. Unfortunately, they are all used by him to store his things.
If nothing is stored, it can be made into six bedrooms.
But for now, there is no way to change it because there is no place to put things.
"Okay, then I'll live here first." Cheng Fei didn't care, as long as he had a place to live.
The two of them had nothing to do in the afternoon, so of course they started drinking in the evening. For Cheng Fei's amount, Li Le tried a little harder, but Cheng Fei drank too much.
At about 11:50 that night, Li Le came to the east room wearing a vest and pants that were 50 years old.
At twelve o'clock sharp, there was a trance, and then Li Le came to the fifties.
Back in the room, the two sisters Zhao Yanran were still sleeping, and Li Le was lying directly between them.
A night of silence.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Le woke up, and by this time, the two sisters Zhao Yanran had already prepared the meal.
He had eaten so well in the real world these days that Li Le didn't feel hungry at all.
But I still got up and washed up.
Ma Feng and the others had already started working at this time.
After washing up, Li Le went over to take a look and went down to the ground.
It will probably take another month to dig the area that Li Le imagined, but we can already prepare some things.
"Brother Le, it's time to eat." Zhao Yanran shouted from above.
"Coming."
After agreeing, Li Le said to Ma Feng and the others: "Stop doing it now. Go eat first, and then do it after eating."
"Okay big brother."
Several people came up from below, washed up first, and then went back to the main room to eat.
After eating, Ma Feng and the others continued, while Li Le went out on a tricycle.
First, Li Le came to the blacksmith shop, took out some drawings he had drawn, and showed them to the old blacksmith.
"Uncle, can this be typed?"
The old blacksmith looked at it and said to Li Le: "It can be beaten out, but what are you doing with it?"
"That's right, uncle, I can use this thing because I want to hold some things. Isn't this thing strong? It won't fall apart easily."
Hearing what Li Le said, the old blacksmith nodded and said, "This thing is indeed not easy to fall apart, but what can it be packed with?"
The old blacksmith was speechless because the thing Li Le wanted to make was a shelf about one meter long and wide.
This shelf is two meters high. From small to top, there are four iron plates that are almost one foot apart, which just surround the shelf.
Li Le can't help it! He wanted to get a bigger one, but there were too many pillars in the cellar, and they were relatively dense.
The distance between the two rows of pillars was only a little over one meter, so Li Le could only build something like this to prepare for storing grain.
Of course, this iron frame is only on the outside, Li Le also uses wooden boards and glass on the inside.
The iron frame on the outside is to prevent it from falling apart, but the inside is the most important thing.
Especially glass, because if glass is used and sealed well, the food can be stored for a long time without spoiling.
Because what Li Le asked the old blacksmith to make was not a whole piece, but removable parts.
It's just that the quantity is relatively large. Of course, what Li Le showed the old blacksmith just now was the drawing after they were put together. The drawings of each part were also given to the old blacksmith. There were not many parts, and most of them were the same.
"Uncle, how long will it take to finish this?"
The old blacksmith looked at it again, and then said: "It will take at least a month, there is no way, you need a hundred sets!"
"One month is fine. Please calculate how much it will cost. I will give you part of it first. When you finish everything, I will give you the rest."
Hearing what Li Le said, the old blacksmith said: "That's right, I can't finish all the work here, so I'm going to find some old guys to do it together. In this case, I'll spend more money in the early stage."
"I understand, uncle, let's do this. You name the number. I'll give you 70% first. When everything is done, I'll give you the remaining 30%. What do you think?"
"Can."
In fact, the shelf Li Le built did not use a lot of materials. Except for the base and the four corners, which used more iron, not much else was used.
But even so, this frame must use at least one hundred kilograms of steel.
Finally, the old blacksmith calculated the cost and labor and asked Li Le for fifteen million.
Fortunately, the iron used was all scrap iron bought by the old blacksmith from the scrap collection station, otherwise the price would never be affordable.
Li Le doesn’t care! It doesn’t matter if it’s scrap metal or whatever, just make it.
Li Le gave 70% of the fifteen million, or ten and a half million, to the old blacksmith and got a receipt written by the old blacksmith.
There are so many things that it would be impossible for the old blacksmith and his two apprentices to complete, so some of them would probably be given out to others.
But this has nothing to do with Li Le, he only wants results.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Li Le went to find glass.
Fortunately, now that you are doing business, you can buy it as long as you have money, but things like glass are more expensive now.
One of these things requires ten square meters of glass, four sides, two square meters on each side, and one square meter below and one above.
There are one hundred in total, which is one thousand square meters, and Li Le wants a thicker one.
The price is higher, and it's not in stock yet, because the thickness Li Le wants can only be produced now.
The two existing thicknesses in the store are four millimeters and six millimeters, but Li Le wants eight millimeters.
Of course, a thickness of eight millimeters costs 12,000 per square meter. If it were not necessary, Li Le would have planned to ask for a thickness of 10 millimeters, which is one centimeter thick.
Li Le paid a deposit of two million and would collect it half a month later.
Then Li Le left the city and rushed towards the mountain. He wanted to get some wood back.
Glass and iron cannot touch directly, otherwise they will break easily, so use some wood to separate them.
There is no way, this era is not like later generations, you can just buy some adhesive strips or something. In this era, there is no place to buy it!
Li Le didn't go back at noon. He took out some food from the space and continued to cut down trees.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Li Le stopped when he felt it was almost done.
The wood I got today is not only enough for the next use, but there is even enough left to burn the fire for several years.
Yes, Li Le not only wants wood, but also branches and other things. If the wood is not used up, he can make a fire, and the branches can also make a fire.
In the era of bills, people had to pay for coal. Each person only had a few dozen kilograms of coal per year. If the family had a large family, it would be enough for one winter. If the family had a small family, it would not be enough even for the winter.
Coal must be stored, but not now. There is no rush yet. What is anxious now is food.
No matter when, food is the most important thing.
