Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

About a month later in the morning.

In the heavy rain, Ichiyoshi, along with Barletta and Reese, was riding the streets in carriages.

The destination is a collective workshop along a river in the city.

Valletta told me a few days ago that the prototype of the refrigerator had been completed and that she was due to visit the workshop to see it on site.

Zirconia was supposed to go with me by appointment, but I'm not here.

The ice room contacted me early in the morning that the ice had arrived at the workshop, because I said, 'I'll go ahead and see how it goes' and I left first without breakfast.

They took a scratch ice machine to the side securely.

"That's a lot of rain. Mr. Zirconia, it looks like he went in Rata, but I'm sure he'll be fine..."

"I'm sure it'll get a lot wet, won't it? He's going to catch a cold..."

Barletta says she opens the window just a little and looks worried about the city.

I also brought one Lipo D, just in case I tried to get him to drink it.

"Mother, you really like shaved ice, don't you? I know it's delicious, but I can't eat so much." Keane has a headache. "

"Right. But I hear Mr. Zirconia doesn't have a headache no matter how much he eats."

"Oh, yeah. There are people who hurt and people who don't."

"Sounds like it depends on people. I'm fine, too."

"Uh, good."

The ragged and carriage proceeded and came to the river section where the shore protection work was under way.

The three of us, we'll look out the window at the river.

Mortar reinforced walls are completely intact.

"Looks like the river is still fine. I mean, how long the hell are we getting off this? We've been down here for seven days."

"It's the rainy season. It's been like this for a month or so."

Barletta looks up at the sky and narrows her eyes to the rain grain that keeps coming down.

"Are you going down so much? Speaking of which, was there a flood in the village of Grisea?

"Yes. It's about time you were flooded around the river."

"How much scope is going to flood?

Hmm, and Barletta roars as she recalls.

"Mostly always, water comes about fifteen minutes' walk from the village. It's like a big puddle all over the place, and it's so messy."

"Wow, that's amazing. Let them build villages away from the river… the rainy season is dangerous and not close."

"Right. It's almost flat around there, and when I'm flooded, I can't see my feet at all and I can't walk dangerous. You can't eat fish for a while."

"When it rains, are you going to pick up the fish at the leftover puddle? I'd love to go, too."

"Oh, good. I want to go too. I've never picked up fish before."

"Hehe, well, when it rains, we all went to pick it up. Let's have a fish party in the village."

As I collude, I carefully observe the river flowing with a lot of noise.

No damage has been done, either because partial repairs have been completed or in areas where flooding has been frequent in the past so far.

Even with more water, a mortar reinforced embrace wall would hold it up.

"Even if it rains so much, is the barn zone okay? Latta wheat and bread wheat are definitely harvested at the end of next month, right?

To a good inquiry, Reese nods.

"It's okay. It's so resistant to water, it won't rot if you dip it in half of the seedlings."

"That's an amazing plant. That. You're not talking about sturdy places."

"Instead, I'm vulnerable to sunshine. When the heat hits me hard and I run out of water during June, it turns fruity and unproductive. It's been a long time since I almost wiped out last year."

Bread wheat and latta wheat have been seeded in mid-November and have grown well due to the effect of fertilizers.

We can only hope that the drought like last year will not come again this year, but the water pumping trucks are in sufficient numbers, so if there is some drought, it will be avoided that it will be wiped out.

By the way, all the water trucks installed have been removed.

"But summer imo can't do it anymore if it's soaked in water. Plant it a little high, after the rainy season."

"Uh, potatoes don't work in one shot when they're soaked in water."

While we were talking like that, we arrived at the assembly workshop.

Even in the midst of heavy rain, the workshop seems to be operational, with several muscles of smoke rising from the grounds surrounded by high walls.

A guard opened the large front door and went inside while the carriage was still there.

Ask them to put it in a large square umbrella given by the squire they brought in, walk on the grounds and enter the building.

"Hello! Good luck to you all!

As soon as I came in, Ichigo greeted me out loud and said from all over, "Good luck - Shh!" The craftsmen replied.

Ichigo always greets him out loud like this every time he comes to the workshop.

It's only a good thing that we're doing this, but the reputation from the craftsmen is better because none of them greeted the craftsmen themselves but Reese.

Moving behind the workshop, he discovered a zirconia in armor sitting in a chair in front of a wooden refrigerator about a metre high with a spoon.

In his hand, he has a tree filled with shredded ice that has been reduced by about half.

The sketchy surface of shaved ice in boneless armor is kind of surreal.

"Mr. Zirconia, how's the fridge?

When Ichiya spoke, Zirconia smiled with a spoon out of her mouth.

"It's delicious. I knew natural ice was different."

"No, you're not."

"Hehe, it's a joke"

Zirconia opened the lower door of the refrigerator and removed a large chunk of raw meat (Myagi's meat) from the tree tray.

One way or the other, the good guys walk over and touch the meat.

"Oh, you're limping! It's obvious because it's in there with the ice."

"I put it with ice as soon as I got here in the morning, but if this is all cold, I think I can use it enough. And the ice is barely melted."

The prototyped refrigerator is a copper plate on the inside of a wooden box.

Between the walls of the box and the copper plate, the scraps are laid as insulation.

It has an upper and lower two-stage structure, where ice chunks are placed in the upper section and fresh foods are cooled with cold air flowing down the lower section.

Ice refrigerators retain more humidity than electric refrigerators, so the food is less likely to dry and taste less likely to fall off.

There is a small stopper on the back of the upper section, which, when unplugged, provides a mechanism for the dissolved ice water to fall out.

"All right, well, shall we keep mass production like this? The structure is simple, and they say it's a good number if you keep making it till summer."

"Oh, but if you make too much, you're gonna run out of ice, aren't you? Once I used this, I said, 'I want to keep using it all year round, not just in summer! I guess we all think."

"Ugh, you sure do. Then…"

After Leese pointed it out, I twisted my head wondering how much ice I would need per fridge.

In the middle of summer, the dossier stated that one penetration (3.75 km) of ice per day was needed.

In terms of size, it is about two two-litre pet bottles.

When it comes to replenishing this every day, you need two litres of ice for 120 pet bottles in the two months between July and the end of September of a hot platter.

Quite a bit of consumption, but the amount of ice stored in the ice chamber isn't half the amount either.

Because the whole field that had been abandoned was used to build an ice pond and continued to produce ice during the winter, so much so that the ice could be stored that it was filled to near the ice chamber ceiling.

Even if lightly estimated, more than 80 tonnes of ice should be stored.

"Uh, it's about 240 liters in the middle of summer. That's 80... No, considering the amount of melting in transit and temporary storage over here is also estimated to be about 60 tons, er..."

"That's 250 cars."

Instead of a good one who is bumping, Barletta answers instantly.

"Oh, I can afford that much. Then I'll make a lot of it?

"Hmm, I don't know what to do. I just want to make a lot of it and spread the word."

"Please also keep the ice for use at the shake ice store. Because I'm going to get a direct store out of the Istell family."

"Yes, sir"

"In the meantime, why don't we make about ten or twenty, and then we'll see how it goes? Initial production can be used to build new ice rooms and ice ponds if they are sold to rich houses at high prices."

Valletta came up with such a suggestion when she was bitterly laughing at Zirconia's opinion.

It is not possible to make refrigerators widely available during the quarter due to the amount of ice produced at the moment.

Refrigerators would be a reasonable line for some wealthy aristocrats, luxuries, and citizens to provide shake ice at affordable prices.

Ice for shake ice also has the hand of bringing a large ice maker for business from Japan.

Block ice for refrigerators is not possible, but ice large enough to be used for shake ice should be stable.

"Oh, that's good. Would you sell it to a new favorite luxury dealer or nobleman?"

"Valletta, that's so annoying!

"Well, that's a little..."

That's how the story came together and I was supposed to cook lunch with the meat I kept in the fridge.

Cooking is in charge of the women in the cooking area plus, Barletta and Liese.

"Now, do you want to look around the workshop until you can eat? Have you seen Mr. Zirconia yet?

"No, because I've been eating shaved ice"

"Oh, really? So do you want to take a look around with me"

The grounds of the collective workshop are quite large, like surrounding the square where blast furnaces and brick kilns are built, with five buildings (blacksmith workshop, carpentry workshop, brick workshop (combined mortar manufacturing duties), warehouse, dining room & cooking area).

Basically, the focus is on the manufacture of iron products, but the manufacture of special products like the refrigerator we are now prototyping was also carried out in this place.

The two of us proceeded inside the workshop and came to the blacksmith workshop, which is the largest building.

From all over, the sound of striking iron with a hydraulic forging machine or a hammer sounds.

"Tsurhashi, shovels, axes and... uh, is this rigo and trabra? Production is going well."

Ichirano nods yeah to the massive amount of iron tools that are wrapped up on the shelves for the finished product.

Iron ore is delivered from the mine like day after day, and the blast furnace is fully operational.

Craftsmen were also desperately continuing to produce, and were well on their way around the production of agricultural tools, tools and other products.

"If you do this, your salary will be multiplied by your salary. They're all working hard on it."

On a good proposal, the artisans working in this workshop were granted a performance pay separate from the base salary.

The motivation of the craftsmen is not the norm, as working increases their pay as much as working.

Everyone was there for breaks, working late at night every day.

Some craftsmen go down from time to time for overwork, but they give such craftsmen lipo D, which they call 'specially formulated nourishing drugs', and bring them back to life instantly.

We proceeded inside the workshop and came to the section where we were producing weapons.

Weapons like swords and spears are erected on walls everywhere.

I found a bunch of long spears wondering if it would be five meters long, and Ichigo stopped his leg.

Not so much as with the main hips yet, but the production of iron weapons has also begun.

"Ooh, that's a lot of numbers...... I saw the soldiers train before, but it's powerful to see it up close"

"That's a long spear for heavy infantry, isn't it? It's heavy."

"Which... Wow, this is heavy. I can often handle something so heavy so lightly."

Seeing Ichigo, who was impressed with the spear, Zirconia also took the spear.

Hold the spear with both hands and try to lay it down.

"Oh, this spear, it's just a little lighter than the previous one."

"Bronze and iron, because iron is about 10% lighter. Do you feel that different?

"That's not so much. Is it a little light? I feel it to the extent. I think if you hold it for a long time, you'll feel a lot different."

"Then if almost all the parts are metal armor or helmets, you're going to feel so different."

"Well, let's go see the armor too"

Return the spear to its original location and move it to the compartment where the armor is being built.

A relatively young craftsman wields a sweaty, heartless hammer and bends and molds a crimson iron plate onto the gold floor.

Next to the craftsmen, dozens of pieces of iron bent in the same shape were arranged.

"What parts are you making?

"It's the shoulder-to-shoulder part of the armor! I'm making something for the Force Commander!

The craftsman answers without stopping.

After a closer look at the parts placed, I noticed that there were several types of sizes.

They are all molded into exactly the same shape for each type.

Excellent work.

"Is there something troubling you or something? Say anything you don't have enough."

"I want more manpower! The same goes for craftsmen, but it would be helpful if you could include a few people to do chores like small-time use!

"Okay. The increase in the number of craftsmen is not possible immediately, but the personnel in charge of chores will be arranged immediately."

"Thank you!

Speak up to each and every artisan you work for and ask around if you have any problems.

An opinion had been expressed by most blacksmiths that they were 'understaffed for the quantity ordered'.

Something like, 'I want girls in because they're packed in the workshop and I haven't met them at all,' and so on.

It's a request that seems to make me laugh by accident, but when I seriously think about it, I was noticed to be an out-of-the-box important opinion.

Sponsored by the employment side, you may try to plan exchanges with other industries with a large number of women.

"Recruiting a few women for miscellaneous work," he said. When the rainy season is over, why don't you call the city shops and the mansion ladies and gather the craftsmen to plan a barbecue party? "

Ichiran looked over at the workshop, taking notes in the notebook he had brought with him.

All the craftsmen who work are men, and there is zero femininity.

The only women working in this collective workshop are middle-aged women (artisan wives) who work in the cooking area.

"That sounds fun. Men in the military tend to meet less and get married later, so let's call them too and do a lot of"

"Is it the military as well? I'm surprised you had a hot image."

"I don't know, the military is a place of work full of men. But the guards at the mansion have a lot of opportunities to deal with samurai, so we're all getting married early." If you want her, be a guard in your mansion, "the adage seems to be in the military."

"Really? So there are many young ladies."

"You have many daughters who retire on the occasion of marriage. This one is conscious, and we try to take young daughters for newcomers."

"Are there not many people to be reinstated? Or someone who keeps working like that without quitting."

"There's never been one. But I try to mediate another place of work here as much as possible because the wind discipline can be disrupted by the fact that newlyweds are tamed with the same place of work. The maid with the former lord has a foil on her, so she's back in action."

"I see."

While we talk about that, we take a trip to all the workplaces and listen to the stories.

The abrasive said his workload was reaching its limits, and he cried for people to come over because he was a newbie or whatever.

Compared to blacksmiths, polishers seem to have fewer hands and are always understaffed.

"Should I be able to recruit young people for polishing and wrap cloth around the grinding wheel part of the foot polisher that I am currently using so that I can also call it buff polishing?"

For glossy finishing treatments, powder that can be picked from plants growing in the mountains, called 'branches of grinding powder', is used as an abrasive.

When the powder is applied to the cloth and the processed product is scrubbed, it is glossy.

That is the branch that Roslu had picked before when he went with Barletta to the mountains.

The finish polishing I've been polishing with my hands will also be a lot easier if I can buff polish it.

Incidentally, in Japan, abrasives such as diamond paste are used for abrasives.

The next time I go back to Japan, maybe I can buy some.

"You have different ways. Since we started using machines for work, it has become more and more convenient and the working time has been reduced."

"It's hard to do it all by hand. We don't have enough artisans, and we need to make it more efficient."

Talking like that, Cancun, and the sound of tapping the bell rang in the workshop.

It's a lunch break signal.

"Ugh! Fucking hell. Yeah!

"Dear Leese, that's just great! Again, please!

"I'm glad you're happy. I'll be back to make it."

"Valletta, you look cute today! Let's go get a drink tonight!

"Oh, I don't mind."

The craftsmen gathered in the dining room were thrilled to eat a sandwich made by Reese and Baretta.

The large plates are lined with fruit sandwiches stuck in bread filled with large quantities of Myagi cutlet sandwiches, egg sandwiches and butter mixed with fructose.

Butter brought what he had made in advance at the Mansion in a cold bag.

There are two types of sauces used for cutlet sandwiches: a dry sauce made by Barletta and a sweet sauce.

"Barletta, is it possible that you're stuck around this meat with chopped bread?

"Yes, fried finely chopped bread stuck to meat coated with melted eggs."

"Well, I'm surprised I've never eaten anything like this before. It's crisp and really tasty. The sauce tastes perfect. Especially this spicy one tastes great"

"Hehe, thank you. I told your wife about the recipe, so you can always make it from now on."

"Oh, I'm glad. Barletta, don't be a good daughter-in-law! Anybody got a good match?

"Uh..."

"Dear Liese, what is this sweet thing on bread?

"That's called butter, warm the milk in a pan -"

"It's really good to be an artisan to be able to eat Master Reese's handicrafts! Appreciate it!"

"Aha, haha"

The time for a delightful meal passes, mainly Barletta and Liese.

Two, Ichiyoshi turned to Zirconia, who stood next door.

Zirconia has a cutlet sandwich in her hand and her eyes are on Reese, who is happily exchanging words with the craftsmen.

Then Zirconia noticed a good gaze, tilted her little neck and looked at her own eating cutlet sandwich, then offered it a good one.

"Yes, uh"

"Huh? Ha mu!?

"Hey, what are you doing Mother!!

Leese shouts out when she sees Zirconia screwing a cutlet sandwich into her good mouth.

"'Cause Mr. Kazra says do it"

"Oh, I said nothing."

"Yes, egg sandwich"

"Homu!? Wow, you're so welcome!"

"Oh, I'm in. I'm in."

"Oh, Mother!

"A joke, a joke. Ugh."

When dull, Zirconia laughs with pleasure.

With that, there was also a loud laugh from the craftsmen.

Soon, Barletta comes running over with a glass of water.

"Yes, Mr. Kazra"

"Phew, phew mahen"

Receive a cup from Barletta as he moves his mouth.

Pour the sandwich in with water, and, uh, breathe.

"Hehe, that's fun"

That's what I'm gonna say, and I'm gonna look up at Baretta, and she looks so happy with the smile.

"All this time, I hope these days go on"

"... yeah"

Ichiyoshi nodded, gagging at Reese and Zirconia, who could snort it.
