The next day, Li Mu continued to make wine. This time he did it all by himself, without anyone else's hands. Since his skill proficiency was already very high, the speed of each step was also accelerated a lot. By noon, he had already entered the brewing process.
After the distillation and condensation process, just wait and he doesn't need to look after it.
He did not waste time and asked Li Bi to get a set of blacksmith tools. While waiting for the wine to solidify, he began to prepare to forge thicker and longer iron pipes for future use in the winery. This step,
Li Mu also didn't find anyone to help him. The main reason was to improve his skill proficiency. Blacksmithing skills played a very important role in his plan. He wanted to reach the intermediate level as soon as possible.
Just like this, another day passed, and in the evening, ten jars of wine to be sent to the palace had been brewed. Time was limited. Li Mu did not learn a new recipe and planned to wait until the winery was completed. On the other side,
He also melted twenty iron ingots. Tomorrow he will forge the condenser tubes used in the distillery's large distillation equipment. For the remaining carpentry part, Li Mu plans to draw large drawings and hand them over to skilled craftsmen.
He can do the small parts himself so that he can catch up on the progress, and his carpenter skills have no plans to upgrade in the near future.
Li Ji was very concerned about what Li Mu was doing and would send someone to check on him every day. However, he was very measured and the people he sent never entered the martial arts arena and only waited at the door. This was to dispel Li Mu's doubts and avoid unnecessary trouble.
He was worried that someone might be secretly learning secret techniques or something like that.
In addition to Li Ji, there is another person who is also very concerned about what Li Mu does, and this person is Cheng Yaojin. After the unhappy parting that day, Cheng Yaojin always flashed in Cheng Yaojin's mind Li Mu's face from smiling to solemn rejection.
, But this is not the point. Cheng Yaojin, a dignified prince, will not worry about such a trivial matter. What really moved Cheng Yaojin was the confident look that Li Mu exuded when he spoke. Cheng Yaojin lived
At this age, although he gives the impression of a reckless man, in fact he is the most shrewd, especially his ability to identify people, which is also one of the best in the court. Others use their skills to identify people, either by reading their faces or listening to them.
There is a way to talk. Cheng Yao, a gold-faced man, relies on beast-like intuition. He can't explain it clearly, but so far, he has never made a mistake.
Therefore, he believed that he would not make mistakes this time. There is definitely something special about Li Mu, a young man.
After holding it in for a day at home, Cheng Yaojin finally couldn't hold it in any longer. When he was training his son in the afternoon, Cheng Yaojin heard the tinkling sound of iron outside the wall and couldn't help but be curious. But as a prince, he couldn't
Carrying a ladder to climb the wall every day is too disrespectful. Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then pointed at his second son Cheng Chuliang who was lifting a stone lock in the martial arts arena, and said: "Go and move the ladder and see what Li Mu is doing.
!”
"Dad, he's hammering!" Cheng Chuliang replied, wondering in his eyes, why couldn't dad hear such a loud hammering sound?
"Idiot! I don't know how to blacksmith? Your father is not deaf. I want you to see what he is hitting! Hurry up!"
After being scolded, Cheng Chuliang did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly moved the ladder and climbed up the wall. Cheng Yaojin stood next to the ladder, looked up at Cheng Chuliang, who was building an awning with his hands and looking next door, and asked: "Have you seen it clearly? Then
What are you doing, kid?"
"Dad, it's a bit dazzling and I can't see clearly...ah! I saw a palm-sized crescent iron and a horse, hitting the horse's shoe...Dad, I can't understand!"
"Idiot! Come down here!" Cheng Yaojin pulled Cheng Chuliang down and climbed up the ladder himself. Despite his age, he had very sharp eyes. With a squint, he could see everything.
To talk about what Li Mu is doing, we have to start from yesterday. Yesterday evening, Li Mu smelted ten iron ingots, but in fact he only needed four to forge the condenser tubes, and the remaining six were for "leveling up"
, Li Mu has calculated the experience points. After forging the condenser tube, the basic skill proficiency is close to the full point, but it is definitely not full. In the end, it is still three to five points short. Anyone who has played online games knows that the most difficult life skill to practice is to
These points of proficiency before upgrading are because the skill proficiency at this time is already very high, and the chance of further improvement will be very small. When the proficiency is low, maybe you can upgrade a little proficiency by making something, but now,
Ten things may not necessarily improve one point.
What to do? There is only one way, to pile up materials! How to pile up, naturally choose the drawing that saves the most materials among the drawings of the same level. Among the primary drawings of forging, the one that saves the most materials is the 'horseshoe'
, this thing is just two crescent-shaped pieces of iron. It requires half the material than caltrops and consumes less physical energy. It is definitely the best blueprint for leveling up. Of course, Li Mu has no reason not to choose it, so he forged it this morning.
After finishing the condenser tube, he began to forge horseshoes.
When Cheng Chuliang climbed the wall, Li Mu had just used up the remaining six iron ingots and produced a total of sixty sets of horseshoes. He would fully upgrade his skill proficiency, and his blacksmithing skills had finally reached the intermediate level. After looking at the demand for intermediate proficiency,
It was ten times more than the elementary level, and suddenly he was no longer in the mood to level up. Li Mu happened to be curious about what the 'speed +1' on the horseshoe meant, so he asked Li Bi to find a horse and come over with a few servants.
Study how to shoe horses.
Cheng Yaojin happened to see such a scene. He saw several people surrounding a horse. He really couldn't figure out what it meant. He couldn't help being curious and asked: "Hey! What are you guys doing?"
Li Bi raised his head and saw that it was Cheng Yaojin. He quickly saluted and said, "Go back to Su Guogong. I don't know what it means. This boy hit some iron pieces and said he would nail them to a horse shoe."
Cheng Yaojin jumped down from the wall, walked closer, looked at the horseshoe in Li Mu's hand, then looked at the horse's hoof, frowned and said: "Boy, are you full of food? What are you doing to the horse?"
Li Mu saw the two people's reactions and said in surprise: "You don't know what this is going on?"
Cheng Yaojin and Li Bi looked at each other, both of them looking at a loss. Cheng Yaojin said impatiently: "If you fart quickly, why are you playing a riddle? What is this crescent iron piece for?"
Is it possible that there were no horseshoes in the Tang Dynasty? Li Mu thought to himself, no wonder the online games or historical novels of later generations are always criticized by some "textual research party" who dig into the pile of old papers, and they are not doing their homework properly enough.
You dare to call the game "The Legend of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty". Is the word "Datang" just a decoration? It is a wine maker and a horseshoe maker. I wonder if there were no horseshoes in the Tang Dynasty? It's just a stupid setting.
