Chapter 411 1960
Chapter 411 1960 (Part )
Time flies, and two months have passed quietly.
New year, new atmosphere. Today is New Year’s Day. It is a rare day off and everyone is resting at home.
Two months passed and a lot of things happened around Li Kailang.
"Master, I'm here to pick up the photos!" Li Kailang stepped into the door of the photo studio.
"Master Li, you're here!" The master in the photo studio greeted Li Kailang warmly when he saw him coming.
Li Kailang got straight to the point: "Are all the photos ready?"
"Okay, okay, these photos of yours took a lot of effort. Our studio painters worked hard to finally color them." The master said with a smile.
Then he took out a palm-sized box from the cabinet and said, "Here are all the photos. Take a look."
Li Kailang took the box and opened it. There was a stack of photos inside, which he looked at one by one.
There are not only National Day photos taken by Li Kailang, but also wedding photos of Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei.
On their wedding day, how could Li Kailang not arrange for a photographer to come and take the photos? The photos were taken by the photographer himself.
Originally, Li Kailang was going to be able to get all his photos in November last year, but because there were new photos of Zhang Fen and his wife, which needed to be colorized, the time had to be postponed.
This extension lasted for 2 months, and all the photos were in color. It cost a lot of money, but I can be willful with money!
Li Kailang looked through his photos one by one, and then counted the photos he had taken away in advance, which amounted to only about 40 photos.
"I delivered about a hundred sheets of film, but in the end I only got 40 photos. The loss is about 60. It's not bad to have so many photos." Li Kailang calculated in his mind.
Li Kailang had never thought that all the films could be developed into photos. The fact that there were so many photos really exceeded his initial expectations.
After all, there are good and bad films, duplications, errors in the developing process, etc., which will affect the number of films produced.
After quickly looking through his own photos, Li Kailang looked at the photos of Zhang Fen and his wife: "Master, your skills are good, the photos are very good, and the number is more than mine."
"Ahaha~" the master laughed awkwardly. These photos were taken by him personally. He used several rolls of film, so the number of films he took was naturally more than Li Kailang's.
It’s just that Li Kailang is his big client, so it’s not easy to say bad things about Li Kailang.
Li Kailang naturally had no jealous thoughts about this, "Master, can you tell me how much it is?"
"Okay, please wait a moment." When the chef heard that Li Kailang wanted to pay the bill, he was very diligent.
Li Kailang alone already had a big order, and with Zhang Fen and his wife behind him, that's even more.
The master quickly worked on the abacus, muttering to himself, and soon calculated a price.
"You paid for the previous photos, so the deposit will be deducted for those photos. Today, you can pick up ten or so photos of yourself."
"Add the couple's photo and I'll give you a discount of 80 yuan."
"Okay." Li Kailang agreed directly and paid the money.
The price is quite reasonable, including photos of Li Kailang, photos of Zhang Fen and his wife, and the painter's fee.
"Okay, I'm leaving." After the master took the money and counted it, Li Kailang said goodbye and left.
"Hey, wait a moment." The master took out two photo albums from the cabinet.
"Take these two photo albums. They can hold fifty or sixty photos. I forgot to give them to you last time you came."
Li Kailang was just worrying about what to put his photos in, and he happened to be given a pillow by someone he was sleepy about. He didn't bother to be polite, "How can I be so embarrassed? Thank you."
"It's nothing. I'd like to trouble you to take care of my business."
"Hahaha, you kid." Li Kailang pointed at the master with a smile. It turned out that he wanted to take care of the business. "Okay, I don't want to chat with you anymore. I'm leaving first."
"Be careful on the road."
Li Kailang rode his bicycle towards the courtyard.
Passing by No. 85 Nanluoguxiang on the way, Li Kailang stopped the car and went in to see the construction progress.
It has been two months since Zhang Fen and Yu Xuewei got married, and the house has been renovated for more than two months.
"I haven't come to check for two weeks. Want to see if there are any major changes?" Li Kailang comes to inspect the situation almost every weekend, but he was busy last week and didn't come.
Li Kailang walked into the courtyard and went straight to the back house which was under construction. Through the open door, he could see Engineer Han and others working hard.
The exterior wall remained the same, with no changes. I took a quick look and then walked in.
The situation inside the house changed drastically. From the big yard at the beginning, it became a small yard of only four or five square meters, and the other places were built with brick walls.
Even if Old Huang came to see it, he might not be able to tell that this is his house.
"What a big change! It's only been half a month since I last came."
Li Kailang murmured to himself, looking at the changes in the house. Many places were different from what he saw half a month ago.
Engineer Han, who was working on the project, looked up and saw Li Kailang: "Master Li, why are you here?"
Li Kailang asked, "I came to take a look, Master Han, where have you guys reached in the construction? I think it's almost done."
Engineer Han smiled and said, "Yes, it's almost done. We just need to put the finishing touches on the house and it will be finished. It will take about ten days or half a month, and then we can finish the work."
Li Kailang nodded: "That's great, it can be completed before the end of the year, and there will be ten days or half a month left for decoration."
The Spring Festival is at the end of the month, so ten days or half a month is enough to move the furniture in, and most importantly, there is no need to worry about formaldehyde and other problems.
After all, most of the building materials used now are natural materials, such as solid wood, stone, etc.
These materials use fewer chemical additives during the production process, so the release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde is relatively small.
Even if there is formaldehyde pollution, it is only a trace amount. You can move in after the smell dissipates for three to five days.
All the furniture has been prepared and placed in his house, just waiting for the construction to be completed and the smell to dissipate so that we can move the furniture in and start the soft furnishing.
It’s also a good thing that Zhang Fen and his wife can spend the New Year in their new home.
"So what's left to do now?" Li Kailang asked. Since he was about to finish work, he naturally had to ask clearly.
Engineer Han looked around, mainly at the construction materials, and saw only a few materials left.
"It's almost done after just painting the walls white and picking up the trash. Maybe it will be finished in less than 10 days."
"That's great." Li Kailang nodded. It would be good to finish work early, leaving extra time for getting rid of the odor and doing the soft furnishing.
"Okay, Mr. Han, you guys continue with your work. I won't bother you anymore. The balance will be settled on the spot when we finish work."
"Oh, great!" Upon hearing the final payment, Mr. Han and others were very excited. This was the last order before the New Year, and they were waiting to complete this big order so that they could reward themselves.
It is true that we chose a bad time for renovation. It is really cold when we started renovation in autumn and winter.
Every day when I go to work, my hands and feet are cold, which delays a lot of work, but when I hear about the payment, it's all worth it.
"Let's go." Li Kailang waved and said goodbye to Han Gong.
Mr. Han and others were very excited and were looking forward to getting the money and having a good New Year.
"Alright, alright, hurry back to work. It's the last bit now. The sooner you finish the work, the sooner you can get paid."
"Come on, be quick, work hard, and be careful. Don't make mistakes and have to redo the work later."
"Good Le!"
"Don't worry, I won't go wrong."
Several people shouted their assurances, each one full of confidence.
Engineer Han had to pour cold water on him: "Don't talk big, just do your job well, and check it again after you're done. There's nothing wrong with it."
Once again, the few of them worked hard, trying to have a prosperous new year.
Li Kailang rode his bike back to the yard, went straight home, and then entered the planting space.
Next comes the big head.
Li Kailang used up all his life's strength and shouted:
"System, sign in!"
[Ding! The host has signed in for 123 days cumulatively, and the sign-in is successful! Obtain the following items! ]
[Upgrade card fragments*2! Chinese medicine preparation skill card (beginner)! 1 bottle of strengthening liquid! ]
"Okay, okay!" Li Kailang looked at the rewards for this sign-in. There weren't many, but they were all good stuff. Li Kailang took out 3 more upgrade card fragments from the ring, and this time he had 5 fragments in total.
"The planting space can finally be upgraded. It is 32 acres now, and after the upgrade it will be 64 acres."
Li Kailang didn't waste any time. He harvested all the food first and then planted it, and then used the upgrade card.
"Rumble--"
The entire planting space shook violently, 32 acres of fertile land appeared in the corner again, and more than half of the livestock were frightened to death.
The total planting space is now 64 acres of land.
[Ding! Ding! Ding!]
[Planting space upgraded successfully, current planting space level lv.7]
The crops were ripe again, and Li Kailang harvested them with ease.
"We need to plan the doubled land carefully, but we should keep the grain land the same as before and double the amount."
"We were able to produce 10 kilograms of grain per month before, but now we have to ensure that we can produce 20 kilograms."
Originally, 16 acres of land were used to grow crops, but now it has been expanded to 32 acres, leaving 32 acres for other purposes.
After the grain production is completed, the remaining functions are medicinal materials, fruits, storage warehouses, livestock breeding, and aquaculture, which will be increased in proportion.
"The most important thing is the cultivation of medicinal herbs. Previously, we only had one mu of land, but now we have traditional Chinese medicine, so one mu of land is not enough. Let's try three mu of land first, and if it's not enough, we can expand it later."
After making all the arrangements, Li Kailang looked at the fresh and hot [Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy Skill Card (Introduction)]. The expansion of medicinal material cultivation was due to its appearance.
"I've waited for more than two months, and you are finally here. Do you know how hard and tiring I have been in these two months? I have even lost a lot of hair because of you."
It’s no wonder that Li Kailang is so hypocritical, it’s really too difficult.
In order to develop pharmaceutical skills, Li Kailang read at least a dozen medical books, but he just couldn't figure it out.
Unable to figure it out, Li Kailang tried to make pills according to the pharmaceutical book, but all the pills he made were useless and would definitely cause poisoning if eaten.
As a result, Li Kailang mistook these pills for rat poison and fed them to rats. The effect was quite good and killed quite a few rats. It seemed that his efforts were not in vain.
"Although it's only an entry-level pharmaceutical skill, it's better to have it than not."
Li Kailang took a deep breath, adjusted his body and mind, and said to himself: "Use the skill card."
In an instant, the skill card emitted a bright light and shot towards Li Kailang's brain.
In an instant, the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical manufacturing swept into Li Kailang's mind like a tsunami, violently impacting his mind.
More than a dozen types of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, including Chinese medicine processing, Chinese medicine pharmacology, and Chinese medicine pharmacy, impacted Li Kailang's brain.
A warm current flowed out of Li Kailang's nose, but he was unaware of it. He still closed his eyes and clenched his teeth to endure it.
This was the first time that Li Kailang felt such excruciating pain. Even the impact of mechanical technology did not make him so uncomfortable. He almost fainted.
After a while, Li Kailang slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes gradually became clear from cloudy.
"Hu——" Li Kailang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He lay on the ground as if relieved and wiped the blood from his nose.
"Luckily I read a lot of medical books in advance, otherwise I would have fainted and my Chinese medicine making skills would have been gone, and reading books would have been useless."
"If you persuade people to learn medicine, God will strike you with lightning. This is indeed true. This is just the beginning. This is just the beginning. There is so much knowledge. What else will come after this?"
For the first time, Li Kailang had no confidence in improving his skills in Chinese medicine manufacturing, and there was a high possibility that he would always remain at the entry level.
"Let's just use this for now, and we'll improve it when we have the chance."
After acquiring the skills, Li Kailang decided to put his reading of medical books aside for the time being. After all, he was still studying mechanical technology and couldn't concentrate on learning other knowledge.
After learning the pharmaceutical skills, Li Kailang wanted to give it a try, but he had little strength now and was exhausted both physically and mentally from the shock of knowledge.
I could only lie on the ground and digest the Chinese medicine.
"And there's this [Strengthening Liquid]." Li Kailang took out the strengthening liquid and looked at it for a moment, not knowing whether to drink it or put it aside.
[Strengthening fluid: Improves body functions. It depends on the user's physical condition. The better the user's physical condition, the better the improvement effect. 】
Li Kailang drank the strengthening liquid once, and there was not much effect when he drank it again. He estimated that even if he drank it, his physical fitness would not improve by more than 2%.
It’s better to keep it as a backup and take it out sometime.
Thinking of this, Li Kailang decided what to do with the bottle of tonic liquid. "Keep it for now and take it out when you need it."
Unfortunately, this tonic liquid will only be effective if it is drunk in one breath, and cannot be taken bit by bit. Otherwise, Li Kailang is planning to come up with some new ideas.
Gradually, Li Kailang fell into a deep sleep and woke up slowly after several hours.
"Oh! Full health revived!" Li Kailang stood up swiftly, his energy and spirit restored, and he immediately started to make medicine to give it a try.
Taking out the medicinal materials that had been prepared previously, Li Kailang found a lot of problems with just one glance.
"No wonder the pills are poisonous. How could they be made without being properly prepared?"
Almost all the prepared herbs had problems. Li Kailang couldn't help but say in disappointment, "Forget it, it seems that we can't do it anymore. We have to prepare the herbs again."
"Let's try again on the weekend."
Thinking of this, Li Kailang started to prepare the medicinal materials again. It would take time for the prepared medicinal materials to meet the production standards.
Fortunately, the flow rate in the planting space can be adjusted, which can speed up the time of a certain object so you don’t have to wait too long.
The initial cultivation space took 3 years, and now it has been upgraded to level 7, which is 10 years, which is enough.
"Now that I have mastered the skills of making medicine, I should focus on the evening college entrance exam."
"It's the New Year, and there are only about 20 days until the Spring Festival. It's time for the final exams. I should prepare for it, but I don't know what the final exam will be about."
At the beginning of the school year, Yan Wanbin said that the final exam would not only test academic knowledge, but also practical skills.
But until now, there is still no result to tell everyone, and everyone is still thinking about knowing what the test will be and then doing some sprint practice before the test.
It is better to cram before the battle than to do nothing.
"I'm quite looking forward to it, but I don't know how difficult the practical test will be. I don't know if my new skills will be useful."
Thinking of this, Li Kailang looked at his skill panel. After the unlimited defense technique, there was a new skill in the space before the traditional Chinese medicine preparation.
Li Kailang spent more than a month practicing this new skill, which took a lot of effort.
Although he had the help of other skills, they were also the result of his hard practice.
"Okay, it's time to go out." Li Kailang looked around and thought about it. He realized that there was nothing he hadn't planned, so he planned to leave the planting space.
Just when he was planning this, Li Kailang suddenly saw the time machine and suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, why didn't you get any additional features with this upgrade? There were some additional features with the previous upgrades."
Li Kailang immediately looked at the space log.
[Planting space upgraded successfully, current planting space level lv.7]
There is only this one thing. The last time I reached level 6, I was given a time travel machine.
"You didn't send it? That shouldn't be the case. You sent it before. Could it be that you have changed?"
Li Kailang hurried to the time-reversal machine and picked up something and put it in.
"Sure enough, it turns out that the number of backflows has increased."
【Time Travel Machine: The highest item can be turned.】
[Currently 6 can be repaired per month. ]
"It's not bad. At least I don't have to be so tight on money. In the past, I had to think carefully before reversing anything. Now that I've done it six times, I can finally reversing anything whenever I want."
Although he was not very satisfied, Li Kailang knew that any improvement was good, so he clapped his hands and left the planting space.
The upgrade of the planting space this time has brought great benefits.
