Uncle Li didn't lie at all. Lao Zhang tou was indeed a great craftsman in the army. He couldn't say his craft was good.
After Merton said his request again, Lao Zhang could make it accurately. Sometimes Lao Zhang could even think of problems that Merton didn't think of.
"Young master! It's done!" Lao Zhang put an unknown glue on it, sealed it and put it on the table.
Suddenly a group of heads surrounded him.
A thing like a small drum, a rocker is installed on one side of the round surface, and a long leather pipe is installed at the end. Merton can fill the long pipe below with air with a gentle shake, and then press it out from the end of the pipe to feel the gas running out from the end of the pipe. Merton nodded with satisfaction.
"That's good? This thing can keep the fish alive!" Li Yi said with a questioning face.
"Of course! If you don't believe it, you can see it tomorrow." Merton looked at the simple manual oxygen supply machine in his hand and was very proud.
Oxygen supply machines are common in the fish market in the future. They are not rare at all, and they are all electric belts, saving time and effort. However, the oxygen supply machine made by Merton needs to be manually operated, which is a lot of trouble, but it is an epoch-making product here. With this oxygen supply machine, let alone transporting fish into Chang'an City, there is nothing to raise fish for a year and a half.
"Thanks Uncle Zhang this time." Merton said gratefully. Without this great craftsman in the army, Merton would be full of ideas and could not make an oxygen supply machine.
"The young master killed me. Although I don't know how the young master learned this method, I have a hunch that I will succeed this time!" said Lao Zhang tou.
"Seriously?"
Everyone was very happy. Lao Zhang tou was a great craftsman in the army. Even in the military bureau with many experts, Lao Zhang tou was also one of the best experts. Now what Merton seemed to be fooling around could be affirmed by Lao Zhang tou, and everyone had a little more confidence.
"It all depends on Uncle Zhang's old craft!" Merton said.
"But this method seems magical, but everyone just didn't think of it. If someone knows its principle, they can copy it. At that time, the advantages of our Mojia village will be gone. I hope Uncle Zhang will keep it secret."
"Don't worry, young master. I am also a member of Mojia village, which is related to the survival of thousands of people in Mojia village. Even if I fight for my life, I will keep this prescription. I will build the device in it by myself and won't give it to anyone. Even if someone puts a knife on my neck, I won't reveal anything." Lao Zhang promised loudly.
"Uncle Zhang can't do it. If he really gets there, Uncle Zhang is still important. In the nephew's mind, even this prescription is not as important as Uncle Zhang. There is no prescription. I have other methods. If Uncle Zhang makes any mistakes, I will regret for life." Merton said solemnly.
"The young master is serious." Lao Zhang tou was moved. The craftsman's position in this era is very low, even if Lao Zhang Tou is a big craftsman in the army. Now Merton would rather lose this prescription that can create huge wealth and keep him. How can he not be moved.
"Boo!" Li Yi suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice, "don't worry, young master. It's not easy to provoke our Mojia village. If someone dares to offend Mojia village, I'll let him come and never get back."
Li Yi's anger flared, and a fierce murderous spirit filled the air, as if the fierce general who had killed seven in and seven out in the army had returned.
Indeed, Mojia village is the descendants of the soldiers who retired from the army. The wind of martial arts is prevalent. They have never lost a fight with the people in the surrounding villages.
It can be said that the reputation of Mojia village is not good, partly because it is poor and partly because it is fierce.
Ziyi had never seen Li Yi so fierce, and her head shrank with fear.
"Uncle Li, stop your anger!" Merton shouted quickly to calm Li Yi's anger.
"Young master, forgive me. I've lost my manners!" Li Yi was frightened and apologized again and again.
Then a loud cry came.
"Young master, the fish is coming!" Fu Bo's voice came loudly from the house.
"Teng!"
Everyone stood up and a glimmer of expectation flashed in their eyes. It was time to test Merton's words. If it could succeed, there would be hope for the whole Mojia village.
A waterwheel pulled in four young people from the village. The fish master walked in front and the commander parked the waterwheel.
Ziyi jumped the most. He rushed up for the first time and stretched out his head to see the fish, but found that the waterwheel had been closed.
"Uncle Yu! Open it quickly!" Ziyi Jiao said.
"Young master!" the fish Master said hello, waved his hand, and four villagers came forward to open the waterwheel. "
"So many fish!" the crowd stretched out their heads and couldn't help exclaiming.
There were at least 50 fish in the dark part of the waterwheel, each weighing about five kilograms. Because there were more fish and less water, the oxygen consumption in the water was almost the same. Many fish had begun to float their heads on the water and wanted to breathe more oxygen.
"Young master, your method can really work. According to the past practice, if so many fish are concentrated in this waterwheel, they won't live for half an hour." fuber said anxiously.
Mojia village is very poor. If these fifty fish die for no reason, it will be a big loss.
"Half an hour?" Merton smiled, touched the manual oxygen supply in his hand and said confidently, "leave two people. I promise you can see live fish tomorrow."
Seeing Merton's self-confidence, people were a little convinced that Merton really had the assurance of a living fish, and a glimmer of expectation flashed in their eyes.
"Yuer, Li Xin! You two stay and follow the young master's instructions!" Li Yi said, pointing to two young people in their twenties.
"Yes!" they answered in unison.
Yu Er is the second son of Master Yu. Li Xin is Li Yi's eldest son. They have already learned the young master's plan from their father. If they can really help the young master do this, they will benefit first. They are full of energy when they think of this.
"Pushing the waterwheel into the side house will be the secret of our Mojia village. You two should keep your mouth shut about it. If outsiders know about it, the advantages of our Mojia village will disappear." Merton solemnly told the two people.
"Don't worry, young master. If they delay the event of Mojia village, I'll clean up the door myself!" said Li Yi, staring at Li Xin fiercely. Li Xin subconsciously shivered. Merton thought of his own experience and couldn't help looking at Li Xin sympathetically.
The fish master also ordered his children.
"Don't worry, young master. We know that we will keep our mouth shut!" Li Xin said quickly.
"Bang!"
Merton took them into the side room and closed the door of the side room heavily, blocking everyone's curious sight outside, including the curious purple dress. The girl couldn't satisfy her curiosity and her little mouth was pouting.
However, the more so, the more happy the old people like Li Yi are. Because Merton is so cautious, it shows that Merton attaches importance to it, which increases their confidence.
Squeak! The door of the side room opened, Merton came out, and then heard the sound of locking inside.
"Can you use the tools?" Lao Zhang asked nervously.
Merton smiled and said in a loud voice, "the tools are used smoothly. You can see the fish still alive tomorrow."
"Oh!" the crowd shouted happily.
Hearing the thunder like cheers outside, Li Xin and Yu two in the side room looked at each other, accompanied by only the hula, Hula and bubble sound of the oxygen supply.
I couldn't help looking at the toy like things in my hand and wondering, "it's so simple!"
