"Okay! If you like it, there's no problem."
After listening to Su Yan's suggestion about circulating water heating, the aunt pondered for a long time, then glanced at the talented women sitting in the lobby warming themselves by the fire, and then agreed to Su Yan's request and decided to repair Goulanli. Anyway, there was nothing in the winter. As for business, it’s better to give it a rest.
Of course, Su Yan would not have to pay for the repairs. Although my aunt claimed to be poor every day and even wrote poverty on her name, poverty was also relative. My aunt was a poor person who had no shortage of small money but no big money.
It's easy to pay for hundreds or thousands of kilograms of spiritual stones, but my aunt really can't afford tens of thousands of spiritual stones. The two rounds of martial arts peripheral handicap have completely paralyzed my aunt's savings. Now the whole arrogant insect is paralyzed in the hook fence. Not willing to move.
It doesn't cost much to repair it. If Su Yan has an idea, just let him go.
"...According to your requirements, ordinary bamboo tubes may not be able to withstand the alternation of hot and cold for several years. My suggestion is that you spend two thousand kilograms of spiritual stones to replace ordinary bamboo materials with spiritual bamboo. As a pipe, it is guaranteed to last until the building collapses.”
After thinking that the hook fence should be repaired, the aunt took Su Yan to a carpenter she knew. Su Yan gave the carpenter a rough idea of his ideas. The carpenter pondered for a while and then expressed his worries:
"Bamboo material is used as a pipe to flow hot water. Generally speaking, it is not a big problem, but you said that it is a big problem when it is only used in winter. Bamboo material itself will absorb a lot of water when it is soaked in water all year round. When it is dried in the shade, Mold may develop during the process, and then there will be no moisture for many years, and eventually the bamboo material will dry out and become a brittle shell.”
"To put it simply, it won't last long, so it's not worth using Lingzhu as a material. You might as well go to Lao Zhang and see if they can make such iron pipes."
The carpenter thought for a while and then recommended Lao Zhang from the blacksmith shop next door to Su Yan and his aunt to have a look.
Although the processing of bamboo materials is not difficult, Su Yan bluntly said that it requires thousands of bamboo tubes and connections. It is not difficult for a carpenter to do it. The only difficulty is that there is no money to make!
Collecting so many uniformly sized materials is inherently expensive. Moreover, it is not difficult to make. It is impossible to charge too high a labor fee. You will also need to spend a lot of time polishing it, unless you use spiritual bamboo as the material. Make it, otherwise the old carpenter will lose money.
After careful consideration, the carpenter felt that the transaction was not worthwhile, so he suggested that they change materials and ideas.
I think the iron pipes are not beautiful. Can't I also make a ceiling as a decorative panel to cover it?
The overall labor cost is even cheaper.
"Iron pipes and joints? Of course we can do it! Do you need steel, bronze, or brass? As long as you deposit the goods, I can knock out anything. My forging speed depends on how fast you pay... .....”
The young man sitting next to the furnace was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to Su Yan, "Of course, the installation fee is extra."
"Are you...that capable?"
Su Yan's face was full of disbelief. He didn't even mention the caliber when he opened his mouth. You could do it no matter what.
"You do not believe?"
The young man smiled and opened his clothes, revealing the meteorite iron hundred-refined token hanging on his waist: "Do you want to use this thing from me as a guarantee? Not to mention the iron pipe, as long as the banknote is in place, I can get it within ten minutes. Put the hammered iron pants on your ass!"
The Meteoric Iron Hundred-Refined Token is a specialty of the Qi Sect. Meteorite iron contains a large amount of impurities, and smelting and forging it is inherently a very difficult task. However, the entry-level standard for a disciple of the Qi Sect is to use the Hundred-Refined Meteoric Iron to create a token.
The young man in front of him is an experienced disciple of a large sect.
Not to mention the tiny iron pipe, if the young man from the Qi Sect is offended, as long as the aunt does not interfere, the young man can forge a ligation ring in two minutes, and then spend another three minutes to directly ligate Su Yan.
"You rock."
When Su Yan saw Qi Zong's token, he held it in for a long time and said something powerful: "I'll leave it all to you."
"But...I don't need iron pants or anything like that. I probably don't need anything like that."
Su Yan is familiar with the token of the Qi Zong. The emblem of the Qi Zong can also be seen in ordinary people's homes, such as the high-end kitchen knives made by Bai Liangang or some weapons.
For so many years in the world of cultivation, from birth to death, utensils forged by the Shangqi Sect have always been used.
After the young man showed off his strength, Su Yan also took out twenty kilograms of spirit stones to show off his strength.
"It's done in half a month!"
Forty pounds of spiritual stone.
"Ten days!"
Fifty pounds of spiritual stone.
"If it doesn't work out in five days, Zhang will commit suicide by drowning himself in the river!"
sixty......
"Stop, stop, stop. If you add more, it won't work. Unless you increase the amount to 100 kilograms of spiritual stones, I'll ask my senior brother to help."
Su Yan: ".........."
As expected of Xia Yu who is obsessed with money, he will become obsessed with money even when he lives here.
………………
The price of fifty kilograms of spiritual stone is really not too expensive compared to the two thousand kilograms offered by the carpenter before. Moreover, when the disciples of the Qi Sect forge ordinary utensils, they also use materials of the hundred-smelting level.
The so-called Hundred-Refining Steel is to forge one round of pig iron, fold it once and then forge it, and keep folding and forging it. Hundred-Refining Steel is just a foundation. A skilled blacksmith can easily create Five Hundred-Refining Steel or even Thousand-Refining Steel.
This thing can't be fake, because special patterns will emerge after the acid leaching of Baiyang steel. The higher the number of forging and folding, the more complex the patterns will be. The patterns can even be customized.
The Qi Zong's production of utensils started with steel-making, because they really like to show off their skills.
Of course, the reason why Su Yan knew Qi Zong could also be said to be because of his mother.
.....About when you were almost two years old? Su Qing and Ao Renlin planned to follow the local customs and create a set of pure gold immortality locks for Su Yan. However, the master of the Weapon Sect was so arrogant that he rejected the request of Su Yan's parents.
That day, Su Yan saw the ground shaking when he slapped the table with his hand.
When Su's mother shouted to the master, the master knelt down and immediately made a lock of longevity and a gold anklet. Master Qi Zong also gave Su Yan an additional storage ring as a belated gift for a hundred days.
In the evening, he also used his little treasure furnace to roast a monster for a family of three.
The taste was really delicious... Although Su Yan's teeth had not yet grown in at that time, his father tore off a piece from it and gave Su Yan the aroma of the barbecue.
From then on, Su Yan remembered Qi Zong, and the word Qi Zong was equivalent to a barbecue stall in Su Yan's heart.
………………
On the morning of the sixth day after returning to Goulanli, Lao Zhang built the pipes and connections within five days as promised. Hua Lingshi hired some young monks in the body refining and qi refining stages to come and install the plumbing pipes and circulation pool in Auntie's Goulanli. .
"Anyway, we just lay one layer on the ground and one layer on the top, right? Then connect two large pipes as the outlet and entrance to the circulation pool." Lao Zhang threw the drawing in front of Su Yan and asked He looked over.
Su Yan went over with empty hands and mouth. In five days, Lao Zhang not only forged hundreds of thin steel pipes, but also set up the circulation pool that Su Yan wanted, using the high and low pressure of the house to circulate the water in the pipes.
Su Yan was stunned at the professionalism of the drawings.
"It's normal! We are not only involved in weapon refining, but also in mechanics. Otherwise, how could we refining strange weapons or unique warehouse doors?" Lao Zhang smiled and said disapprovingly: "How can you be in Xia Yu if you don't have any skills? How can you make a living in such a big city?"
"...Brother Zhang is amazing."
At Lao Zhang's place, Su Yan was speechless again. After holding it in for a long time, he burst out again.
