Chapter 1511: Surprise Before Surprise
"Good craftsmanship, seventy-one people, how did they make three hundred large wooden barrels in a short time?"
Some craftsmen taught others how to use tools, while others looked at wooden barrels.
There were three hundred large wooden barrels for bathing.
So far, none of them have been missed. All other sections of the wooden barrels are connected by horizontal mortise and tenon joints, and the three additional sections are connected by vertical mortise and tenon joints.
The craftsman couldn't figure it out. Including Li Yi, there were seventy-one people on the yacht. Even if everyone became skilled craftsmen, it was still impossible to complete the task.
How long does it take to break a board? Chisel one mortise and tenon?
The leading craftsman had a lot of questions in his mind, and found the beautiful female leader to show him.
The female leader took a look and asked: "You, don't understand, how long does it take to make a wooden barrel...?"
Craftsman: "..."
He was a little confused, a little bit, the other party could speak Tang Dynasty language?
He took a deep breath and forced himself to accept the fact: "Yes, how to make, make, good?"
After saying that, he wanted to slap himself. I can't speak Tang Dynasty language well.
The female leader gestured so roughly: "Tree, quack, board, board, swoosh, wooden strip, wooden strip, dongdongdong, hole, protrusion, kakaka, install."
"I am convinced." The craftsman touched his forehead: "The owner went ahead, how did he communicate with the other party?"
"I understand." Ruan Jin came forward: "She said that the tree was placed on something and became a board, and the board became a wooden strip, and holes and protrusions were quickly punched on the wooden strip.
The hole is called a mortise, also known as a mortise, and the tenon refers to..."
"I know." The craftsman was helpless. Do I need you to teach? Is this what I am asking?
"Don't worry, I will wait until the speed is faster, maybe I can block the owner at the destination and give him a surprise, such as..."
'Buzz buzz buzz buzz...' There was a buzzing sound in the sky.
Ruan Jin stopped talking and looked up.
A small black dot, it was growing rapidly, and it stopped at a height of about five meters above Ruan Jin's head, and a girl's voice sounded.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? We are here. You are too slow. We blocked you. Hahaha~~~"
"Where is it? I want to see Li Dongzhu. How is the big wooden barrel made?" The craftsman raised his head and shouted.
"Wait, you can see the ship in five minutes. Very good, forty ships, one... huh? Three steam engines, one less?" The little girl's puzzled voice sounded again.
"Wow wow wow." The female leader shouted happily to the drone.
She recognized the little girl's voice. The little girl taught her many common words.
She was afraid that she could not remember it, so she told her tribesmen to recite two words each, repeatedly, and know the meaning of their own words and make comparisons.
After Li Yi left, she would learn from the tribesmen.
"Wow wow wow!" The little girl's language became more proficient. She practiced a lot on the tablet along the way.
"Wow wow wow!" The female leader.
"Wow wow wow!" The little girl.
"Wow..."
"Wow..."
The two chatted and seemed very happy.
"Feng Qingdai? Dongzhu's eldest disciple? How could she..."
Ruan Jin was jealous. If he could speak a foreign language fluently...
"Flag signal, flag signal on the boat, see the boat, Dongzhu Li's boat."
The people on the shore who were watching the fleet with binoculars found someone on the lookout tower signaling.
They knew what Li Yi's yacht looked like, and Li Yi had left a simple sketch.
The yacht was much faster than the sailboat, and it didn't take long to find a place to moor at the seaside.
The natives on the island cheered immediately, and they met again!
The kayak was put down, and Li Yi and his party went ashore.
"Dongzhu!" "Dongzhu Li!" Everyone bowed and greeted with these two names.
The official who called Li Yi "Doctor Li" before now became Dongzhu Li, and someone accidentally called out Princess Yongmu, but no one responded.
The person who called Princess Yongmu, his colleagues next to him, remember, it's you, right? Looking for trouble?
Li Yi hugged the other female leader first and spoke in the local language that he was not very proficient in.
"We are back. When we return to Datang and cultivate new crops, we will send people to you to cultivate them."
Li Yi didn't want to give it now, he still needed it.
"You have too many people. Bring us things. No matter who comes from Datang in the future, we will prepare enough water."
The female leader confirmed that the man in front of her had great power, and many people bowed to him.
"We can feel your kindness. We help each other. When there is a chance, we will invite you to visit Datang." Li Yi said diplomatically.
"You come back and leave today?" The female leader asked eagerly. She wanted to keep Li Yi for a while. Li Yi provided a lot of help to the island.
"Tomorrow morning, we will hold a bonfire party today." Li Yi still had things to hand over to the fleet.
He wanted to get some salt for the fleet and ask the fleet to take it to other places, as well as good silk.
The fleet did not exchange, and took it back to Datang. There were many ships and a large loading capacity.
He was going to dig red coral when he went back and use it as collateral for exchange vouchers.
The female leader was so happy that she turned around and shouted to her tribesmen. The tribesmen had heard her and cheered loudly.
The six officials on the yacht spoke the more unfamiliar aboriginal language to communicate with the aboriginals.
When they were selected, they were required to have a good memory, otherwise they would be taken out to play?
The two sides separated temporarily, and Ruan Jin rushed to the craftsman and said, "Owner, why are you wearing... so cool?"
Li Yi looked at his clothes, beach clothes, a thin shirt with half sleeves, large shorts, beach shoes, and a wide-brimmed straw hat, and the only thing missing was a pair of sunglasses.
Princess Yongmu wears a swimsuit with a long gauze top and a large-brimmed hat.
"It's hot, so we need to move the equipment down and continue making barrels. This island is important, and there are no freshwater lakes or rivers."
Li Yi nodded to the craftsman, knowing what he wanted to ask.
A large set of equipment for breaking wood was brought down. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net sat on the shore and began to process the wet wood.
The cut wood we stopped on the way was left to dry in the sun. When it rained on the island, the natives tried their best to cover it with leaves and straw mats.
To break the boards, break the dry ones on the outside first and leave the inside ones to dry.
The craftsmen finally knew how to complete a large project in a short time, and the equipment was so advanced.
"I'll get the chart from you later. There are some places you can't go to. If the yacht rushes over, you're taking a big risk. Your team, force the passage, and we'll be sure to reduce our numbers."
Li Yi took Ruan Jin to the side and sat down to talk, telling him that Chile would be his final location.
"It's still dangerous for you to go deep into the rainforest, but you can look out for each other and ask the local indigenous people to lead the way and provide benefits.
Take our silks, porcelain, and refined salt with you.
When you see people from other tribes, give them things first, and now everyone is easier to talk to.
Paired with a crossbow, the gunpowder sometimes gets wet there.
Mainly prevent pythons, poisonous snakes, leeches, mosquitoes, vampire bats..."
Li Yi wished he could impart all the knowledge he knew to Ruan Jin, and at the same time was annoyed that the assistance he gave was not good enough.
Ruan Jin listened, and twenty officials took notes conscientiously, not even missing a word.
They faithfully recorded many things along the way, including their contact with local people, what was available in each place, and the team situation on that day.
After memorizing it, I sorted it out that night and copied it into hundreds of copies. Each ship kept at least two copies.
