How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 237 Cutting down trees
In fact, Li Le has a lot of rooms here, including six rooms in the east and west wing, but unfortunately he uses them all to store things.

If you don't put anything in it, it can be turned into six bedrooms.

But for now, there is no way to change it because there is no place to put the 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. With Cheng Fei's drinking capacity, Li Le just had to push a little and Cheng Fei would drink too much.

At about 11:50 that night, Li Le came to the east room wearing a vest and shorts from the 1950s.

At exactly twelve o'clock, there was a moment of trance, and then Li Le came to the fifties.

When they returned to the room, Zhao Yanran and her sister were still sleeping, and Li Le lay directly between them.

Silent all night.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Le woke up, and at this time, Zhao Yanran and her sister had already prepared the meal.

Li Le had eaten so well in the real world these days that he didn’t feel hungry at all.

But I still got up and washed.

At this time, Ma Feng and his colleagues had already started working.

After washing up, Li Le went over to take a look and went downstairs.

It would probably take more than another month to dig the area that Li Le imagined, but some things can already be prepared.

"Brother Le, it's time to eat." Zhao Yanran shouted from above.

"coming."

After agreeing, Li Le said to Ma Feng and the others, "Don't work for now. Let's go eat first, and then work after dinner."

"Okay big brother."

A few people came up from downstairs, washed up first, and then went back to the main room to eat.

After dinner, Ma Feng and the others continued, but Li Le went out on his 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 out?"

The old blacksmith took a look and said to Li Le, "You can make it, but what are you going to do with it?"

"It's like this, sir. I bought this thing to store some things. It's sturdy and 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 hold?"

The old blacksmith was speechless because the thing Li Le wanted to make was a rack that was about one meter long and wide.

This shelf is two meters high. From the small to the top, there are four iron plates almost every foot, which just surround the shelf.

Li Le had no choice! He wanted to make a bigger one, but there were too many pillars in the cellar, and they were quite dense.

The distance between the two rows of pillars is only a little over one meter, so Li Le can only make things like this to store food.

Of course, this iron frame is just the outside. Li Le also needs to use wooden boards and glass inside.

The iron frame outside is to prevent it from falling apart. What’s inside is the most important.

Especially glass, because if it is sealed well, the food can be stored for a long time without going bad.

Because what Li Le asked the old blacksmith to make was not a whole piece, but detachable parts.

It's just that the number is relatively large. Of course, what Li Le just showed the old blacksmith was the drawings after they were assembled. He also gave the old blacksmith the drawings of each part. There were not many parts, and most of them were the same.

"Sir, how long will it take to finish this?"

The old blacksmith took another look and said, "It'll take at least a month. There's nothing I can do. You want a hundred sets!"

"One month is no problem. Just calculate how much it will cost. I'll give you part of it first, and when you've got everything done, I'll give you the rest."

Hearing what Li Le said, the old blacksmith said, "It's like this. I definitely can't finish all of this, so I want to find some old friends to do it together. In this way, I can spend more money in the early stage."

"Understood, how about this, you tell me the amount, I'll give you 70% first, and when everything is done, I'll give you the remaining 30%, what do you think?"

"can."

In fact, the shelf made by Li Le does not use a lot of materials. Except for the base and the four corners, which use more iron, not much else is used.

But even so, this rack would require at least 100 kilograms of steel.

Finally, the old blacksmith calculated the cost and labor and asked Li Le for 15 million.

Fortunately, the iron used was all scrap iron purchased by the old blacksmith from a scrap collection station, otherwise he would never have been able to get it at this price.

Li Le doesn't care! It doesn't matter if it's scrap metal or something else, as long as it can be made.

Li Le gave 70% of the 15 million, or 10.5 million, to the old blacksmith and received a receipt written by the old blacksmith.

There are so many things. If it were just the old blacksmith and his two apprentices, it would be impossible to complete them. I guess they would divide some of them out and let others do them.

But this has nothing to do with Li Le, he just wants the result.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Li Le went to look for glass.

Fortunately, it is allowed to do business now, and you can buy it as long as you have money. It’s just that things like glass are more expensive now.

One of these things requires ten square meters of glass, two square meters on each of the four sides, and one square meter each on the bottom and top.

There are a total of one hundred, which is one thousand square meters, and Li Le wants the thicker ones.

The price is higher, and it is not in stock yet, because the thickness Li Le wants can only be produced now.

The store currently has two thicknesses, one is four millimeters and the other is six millimeters, but Li Le wants eight millimeters.

Of course, a thickness of eight millimeters would cost twelve thousand per square meter. If it were not necessary, Li Le would also order a thickness of ten millimeters, which is one centimeter.

Li Le paid a deposit of two million and came to collect it half a month later.

Then Li Le left the city and headed towards the mountain. He wanted to get some wood.

Glass and iron cannot come into direct contact, otherwise they will break easily, so use some wood to separate them.

There is no way. This era is not like the later generations where you can just buy some tapes or something. In this era, there is nowhere to buy them even if you want to!
Li Le did not go back at noon. He took out some food from the space and continued to cut trees.

It was not until around four in the afternoon that Li Le stopped when he felt it was about time.

The wood we got today is not only enough for the next use, but there will even be enough left over to burn for several years.

Yes, Li Le not only wants wood, but also branches and other things. If the wood is not used up, it can be used to burn fire, and the branches can also be used to burn fire.

In the era of bills, coal was purchased in quantities, with each person only getting a few dozen kilograms of coal per year. For families with many people, that was enough for a whole winter, but for families with few people, it was not even enough to burn for the winter.

Coal must be stored, but not now. There is no rush at the moment. What is urgent now is food.

No matter what time, food is the most important thing.
