Chapter 75: Isn’t it enough to have hands to be a carpenter?

  Chapter 75 Doesn’t it take hands to be a carpenter?

  ”Brother Chu – Hey, what’s that on your back?”

  ”Weapons,” Chu Guang didn’t want to explain, so he changed the subject decisively, “Are you here to exchange things?”

  Yu Hu nodded awkwardly, saying,

  ”Well, my brother and I shot a deer, and we wanted to exchange some things with you. But I couldn’t understand what they said, and I didn’t know what to do… Fortunately, you came.” He glanced at

  the prey, which looked quite big.

  ”It’s okay, I’ll give you a pass later… Forget it, I’ll give it to you now.”

  As he said that, Chu Guang took out a small notebook, drew a few lines on it with a marker, and handed it to Yu Hu.

  ”Keep it safe, and if someone stops you in the future, just take it out and show it to them.”

  The paper and pen produced by the shelter are still a bit difficult to forge.

  The words on the pass are all written in Chinese, and there is also his signature on it, so it is not so easy for ordinary people to imitate.

  Out of caution, Chu Guang also wrote a number on it, so that if he needs to send it to someone else in the future, it will be easy to match who is who.

  When conditions permit, he can change to the printed version and anti-counterfeiting code in the future.

  Yu Hu didn’t understand what was written on it, so he carefully put it away and nodded.

  Then Chu Guang pointed to the old slave Luca next to him and said,

  ”He will be in charge of the warehouse in the future. Give the prey to him and he will help you find someone to deal with it.”

  Although old Luca was confused, he still nodded respectfully .

  According to his experience, there is no need to interrupt when the host and the guest are talking. If there is anything that needs to be done by him, he will naturally tell him in detail later.

  If not.

  That means there is no need.

  Yu Hu met this person for the first time and didn’t know his identity. He smiled and nodded friendly.

  ”Okay.”

  ”I just happened to be going to the warehouse. You two can follow me.” Without greeting at the door, Chu Guang took the two and the caravan to the warehouse together.

  The reindeer was just shot, with an arrow through its throat. Chu Guang asked the player who was the warehouse manager to weigh it, and then sent it to the butcher to slaughter it for meat.

  Brother Chaodan is getting more and more proficient at this job, and he has two apprentices to watch and learn.

  Most of the mutated reindeer’s offal is inedible, one is that there is no spices to cover the fishy smell, and the other is that it is not sure what it has eaten along the way.

  Even though they are herbivores and do not eat carrion like hyenas, they are not livestock after all. Some plants and fungi that are harmful to humans will remain in the digestive system to some extent.

  If you are not a physical type, there is no need to take that risk.

  The brothers Yu Hu and Yu Xiong watched curiously on the side. Although they have seen butchers slaughter meat before, this is the first time they have seen the blue jackets slaughtering meat so skillfully.

  Skinning, pulling out tendons, taking meat, without blinking an eye, the flying blades seem to not touch the bones, and the dropped bones do not touch an inch of meat. It is

  simply amazing.

  ”The old butcher on Beth Street won’t let us watch. I’ll watch for a while and then open a slaughterhouse near my house. Business will definitely be good.” Yu Hu said to his brother excitedly.

  Yu Xiong shook his head.

  ”You save money. Don’t open a slaughterhouse near my house. I plan to have a child next year. Not to mention scaring the baby, it’s not good to scare the fish.”

  Yu Hu touched his head innocently.

  ”Oh, okay, then I’ll open a shop opposite old Charlie’s grocery store. There are more people there.”

  After a while, the edible meat was put on the chopping board, and the inedible meat was poured into the plastic bucket next to it.

  Brother Chaodan hung the butcher knife aside, put the meat into the frame, weighed it, and looked at the manager.

  ”It’s exactly 100 kilograms, which is quite a lot.”

  Chu Guang nodded and told him to take 20% of the meat, remove the tendons, bones and other scraps and skin, and put the rest of the meat into the plastic bags brought by the two brothers of the Yu family.

  ”Go to the warehouse and get 300g of coarse salt later.”

  The price of salt in the outpost base has been adjusted once. Now the price of unpurified coarse salt is 1 silver coin for 50g, which is a slight decrease.

  The price of refined salt is five times that of coarse salt, that is, 5 silver coins for 50g, which is a big increase compared to before. If it is the kind of salt with BUFF and additives, the base price will be increased by 50%.

  However, whether it is refined salt with BUFF or not, it is not sold to the public, but only supplied to players, which can be regarded as a kind of welfare for players.

  If calculated by the price of salt, the cost of Chu Guang exchanging this deerskin is about 6 silver coins.

  If calculated by the transaction cost, this number is probably less than one-third. After all, most of the coarse salt is “wholesale” by him with smoked meat and merchants from Honghe Town, and the average cost of one kilogram of coarse salt is only three kilograms of smoked meat.

  However, the two brothers of the Yu family are still very happy. It is a very happy thing for them to be able to exchange salt that is not adulterated or short of weight.

  Especially the amount given by Big Brother Chu is more, 50g more, which can be eaten for several more days!

  Win-win, it’s great!

  Full of gratitude, the two brothers thanked Chu Guang, carried 80 kilograms of venison and 300g of coarse salt, and left happily.

  Chu Guang called Luca, who had been following him, and instructed him.

  ”Those wanjia wearing blue coats come to hand in the prey, no need to weigh, hyenas give 5 silver, reindeer give 12 silver, send the prey to slaughter, take the meat and smoke it, and then send it to the granary for storage.”

  ”If it is a foreign hunter like the man just now, you should take him to the butcher to slaughter it, take 20% of the meat to smoke, keep the tendons, bones and skin, and give the remaining 80% to the butcher, and pay 300g of coarse salt. Do you understand?”

  Luca is very sensible. He didn’t ask what wanjia is. He just remembered what he had to do. After understanding, he nodded immediately.

  ”I understand.”

  Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

  But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and took out two coins from his pocket, one silver and one yellow.

  ”These are silver and copper coins, recognize them. I will teach you some simple daily expressions to communicate with the people here. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, just do what you should do and say what you should say, do you understand?”

  Luca stared at it for a while and nodded vigorously.

  ”I understand!”

  ”Very good, basically your job is just this, you stand here and watch, get familiar with the working environment, and I will teach you other things later.”

  Luca stood there honestly, guarding the part-time warehouse manager player, which made the latter uncomfortable for a while.

  Chu Guang was very satisfied with his attitude.

  This new NPC is not bad, as expected, you get what you pay for, and it is better to buy it with a chip than to get it for free.

  Let’s not talk about Xia Yan, who would fall asleep even when asked to recite a book, and would slack off after finishing the work. He wouldn’t move unless he was whipped. He was just very popular on the forum.

  Chu Guang still didn’t understand what was so special about this guy except his chest…

  At this moment, Xia, who was dozing off at the door of the weapon shop, sneezed without warning.

  She sniffed and raised her red forehead with a blank look on her face. Like a groundhog who had just woken up, she stretched her neck and looked around.

  Finding that the store was still empty as usual and no one came to check on her, Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped herself in her fur coat, and continued to doze off.

  Perhaps it was because there was no hope of returning to her old job and her future was bleak and uncertain. She admitted that she had been a little lax recently and had even lost her basic vigilance.

  But to be honest, although this place is not as lively as the Boulder City, this deerskin coat is quite warm. It is made of not only the best deerskin, but also hand-sewn.

  If it were in the Boulder City, I’m afraid I would have to sell a lot of chips.

  Chips…

  wine… chocolate…

  thinking about it, my mouth started to water.

  …

  Carpenter’s hut.

  When Chu Guang found [WC Really Mosquito], he found that he was standing in front of a half-man-high wooden box, tinkering with something attentively.

  ”What are you doing?”

  Hearing the voice coming from behind, Mosquito put down the tools in his hands and clapped his hands, turned around and looked at the manager, and said with a beaming face.

  ”Dear manager, I’m designing a new weapon!”

  ”…New weapon?”

  ”That’s right! After the last battle, I found that we urgently need a support weapon that can tilt a large amount of firepower to the enemy position within a few breaths!”

  Mosquito said excitedly, and then pointed to the honeycomb-shaped wooden box in front of him.

  ”‘Blizzard 0.1’! It’s designed for this!”

  Is this a cluster rocket? !

  But there’s nothing inside, probably the most critical “rocket” has not been made yet.

  Chu Guang stared at this thing with his eyes wide open for a while, and it took him a long time to utter a word.

  ”…I remember you used 0.2 last time? Why did it change back to 0.1?”

  ”Well, that’s Hellfire, not from the same series.”

  Mosquito’s expression was slightly embarrassed, but soon the embarrassment was replaced by excitement again, “Please listen to me! Don’t look at this thing as a bit primitive, but I can guarantee that it is really, really useful!”

  ”According to my design, it can fire all 50 rockets carrying black powder, acetone and wood tar within 10 seconds! Covering the battlefield 100 meters away!” Covering the battlefield 100 meters away

  is okay…

  not to mention the coverage radius and accuracy.

  I’m afraid of the explosion, and covering the battlefield minus 100 meters.

  ”Rockets? Are you sure?”

  ”Uh, sure! Although the propellant is black powder, the effect should be similar?”

  Mosquito’s eyes drifted to the side unnaturally, and he said with a chuckle.

  ”According to my design, the propulsion component of each rocket is about 1kg. After adding flame retardants, the working time can be extended to 6~8 seconds in theory. Theoretically, it can generate 3.5~5kg of thrust. In theory, it is no problem to deliver 1~1.5kg of combat components!”

  ”I plan to mix this 1kg combat component with wood tar, acetone purified by gasification of firewood, and black powder, so that it can burn after the explosion!”

  Chu Guang’s eyelids jumped when he heard it.

  Oh my god.

  This is using explosives to launch explosives.

  Everything is fine if it is launched, but what if it doesn’t?

  That’s really screwed!

  With a light cough, Chu Guang reminded carefully.

  ”For street fighting… this power may not be enough, and I always feel it is very dangerous. I still suggest you try to get the nitrocellulose out, it may be more powerful.”

  The detonation speed of black powder is only 600, while smokeless powder can reach 2000, and there is no problem of residual powder residue.

  I heard that the famous “Katyusha” BM-13 series rockets used smokeless powder as the propellant in the early days, and later used viscous glycerin as a plasticizer and nitrocellulose to make a double-base solid propellant.

  Black powder…

  is enough to make bombs.

  It is really difficult to make this kind of thing.

  ”That’s right,” Brother Mosquito touched his chin and muttered, “Tsk, if I can get a gas tank.”

  Chu Guang always felt that this guy was thinking about something dangerous, but it was hard to say whether there was such a thing as a gas tank in this era, so he might not have to worry too much.

  ”Let’s not talk about this for now… I need you to help me make three single beds.”

  ”Ou Ke, by the way, is it urgent?”

  Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

  ”Can you make at least one before tonight?”

  Brother Mosquito said, stroking his chin.

  ”It should be no problem.”

  It takes time to develop weapons.

  But carpentry.

  Isn’t it enough to have hands?
