When his servants led him to the courtyard where he lived, Li Xiao almost burst into laughter. The cost of making soap was very low, even if it was used to prepare the essence, the cost of each piece would not exceed five cents!

In other words, I only need to spend 500 dai to exchange for 1,000 kilograms of ore! This business is really profitable!

In this world, perhaps only Li Xiao knows how valuable that kind of ore is! Taoist Zhang, who only knows how to make elixirs randomly, actually doesn't even know a thing.

"Brother! Why are you so happy?" After Li Xiu followed Li Xiao into the house, he made Li Xiao a cup of tea. Li Xiao had just made the two guys named Chen drink!

"We have made a profit from this business! We will go back to the island tomorrow, and from now on you will be the one doing the work of buying ore here."

"Shall I do it?" Li Xiu was surprised. He had never done anything alone.

"You are getting older, and you have to help with some things. Huzi is stubborn in doing things, and Brother Hao is young. I can't always do these things myself, so you can only do it."

"I know, brother!"

Li Xiao's words gave Li Xiu a sense of responsibility in an instant. His eldest brother had done so much for this family since his parents were gone. Without him, they might have died long ago.

From now on, I will do my best to help my eldest brother with his work, because everything he does is for the family and to give his younger brothers and sisters a stable life.

Li Xiao didn't see Li Xiu's expression because he was so drunk. After telling Li Xiu this, he fell down on the bed and fell asleep.

Yesterday at the wine table, the delivery date was agreed upon. So early the next morning, Li Xiao got on the boat and prepared to go back to Phi Island.

"Yu Lao! What did you do under Marshal Chen?" On the way back to the voyage, Li Xiao came to chat with Yu Lao. Li Xiao was still full of respect for these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who had fought against the Japs. Therefore, Chen Fuzui

The old fisherman here became the old fisherman in Li Xiao’s mouth.

"I was originally a blacksmith, and later I took charge of things in the craftsmen's camp. I also learned some carpentry, and some bricklayers. Anyway, I know some of the items in the craftsmen's camp." When talking about his craftsmanship, Mr. Yu was very serious.

said.

Li Xiao's eyes immediately lit up. He didn't expect that Mr. Yu was an all-rounder! He just didn't know how good his craftsmanship was!

"My grandpa is so good. He can even knock off the jewelry on women's heads." The little guy nestled in the old fisherman's arms suddenly said.

"Oh!" Li Xiao immediately became excited.

Li Xiao picked up the charcoal, found a slate and started drawing. It took a while to finish the drawing.

"Yu Lao, do you think you can make this thing?" This is a very delicate small part. Since Yu Lao can make jewelry for women, then there must be no problem in making this thing!

"This...!" Mr. Yu picked up the slate and looked at it for a while. After Li Xiao's explanation, he finally understood the drawings drawn by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao's drawing is actually three drawings, one is the left view, one is the front view, and one is the top view. When I was learning mechanical processing in the past, I often used this kind of drawing. Although it was the first time to draw it, it was still very interesting.

Also decent.

"This thing is simple, a big hammer! Come on!" After understanding the drawing, the old fisherman put down the slate and waved a strong man over. This guy must be two meters tall. He has thick hands and feet, and his arms are big.

It was full of scars and looked scary.

However, Li Xiao knew that this guy must be a skilled blacksmith. Because only a blacksmith would have his arms burned like this by the splashing iron slag.

The old fisherman explained the blueprint to Big Hammer, and Big Hammer immediately went to Li Xiu to ask for a carbon furnace. This guy just hammered on the boat, but he actually built what was on the blueprint in half a day.

"Well! Time is a little tight, so the work is a bit rough. How about you, sir?" The fisherman took the accessories, smoothed the burrs with a file, handed them to Li Xiao and said. He looked quite proud.

!

Li Xiao was shocked by their efficiency. He didn't expect that he had never done this kind of thing before. He could actually make it so quickly as soon as he got started!

This accessory is actually the upper cover of the flintlock gun. The bolt hits the cover to ignite the gunpowder and shoot out the projectiles.

The reason why Li Xiao asked Inatomi Yunao and Zhao Tiezhu to concentrate on making gun barrels was actually to prepare for the future equipping of flintlock guns.

A flintlock gun is much easier to use than a matchlock gun. At least you don't have to worry about burning your eyes with the burning matchlock. Being able to aim accurately will greatly improve the accuracy of the firearm.

Moreover, Li Xiao also has a secret weapon that can greatly increase the range of firearms.

Chen Fu was a burden as a fisherman, but he didn't expect that in Li Xiao's eyes, the fisherman was just a treasure. Through observation during this period, Li Xiao found that Inatomi Yuzhi was very proficient in the craftsmanship of firearms. But after all, he had been there for many years.

If you don't make firearms by yourself, your craftsmanship will appear to be poor when it comes to actual work.

With people like Yulao and Big Hammer, Li Xiao estimates that he will never have to worry about firearms again.

It's a pity that the process of fixed ammunition is too complicated, otherwise it would not be difficult to tinker with fixed ammunition, even to build a machine gun. The machine gun is definitely a nightmare for all cavalry.

Along the way, Li Xiao was discussing craftsmanship with the fisherman.

Li Xiao was surprised to find that the fisherman was not only proficient in the craftsmanship of various craftsmen, but also repaired ships in Chen Lin's fleet.

If you know how to repair ships, you will definitely know how to build them. Li Xiao was so excited that he could build ships in Pidao in the future.

Phi Island is on the sea, and the navy is indispensable if you want to survive. If you don't know how to build ships, then you are just a useless navy. At least the current ships are broken, so they can be repaired!

"Yu Lao! After you go to the island, you will know what kind of place it is. I, Li Xiao, can't guarantee anything else, but I, Li Xiao, can still guarantee that I will be well fed and clothed." Li Xiao stuffed the chicken legs in his hands.

I gave it to the grandson of the old fisherman. Seeing the little guy chewing it, his mouth was full of oil, and he couldn't help but lick his mouth.

"Hey...! What we people really don't want is much, just two meals and one night." The old fisherman sighed. He didn't dare to think too wonderfully about the future. If you are used to living a hard life, you will live a very demanding life.

Low.

"Haha! Mr. Yu, on our island everyone has breakfast, lunch and dinner. And you will get wages every month, and you live in a reinforced concrete house. There is nothing you can do about a house like that during a typhoon. If there is a

Burn the kang to make sure you stay warm!

My brother said that there will be more children on the island in the future. I need to ask my husband to help go to the island to teach the children how to read." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Really?" The old fisherman's eyes almost fell to the ground, as if he had fallen into a nest of fortune.
