I run a farm in another world

Chapter 39 Making a Hot Air Balloon
"It turned out to be Master Du Fourth." Huang Que pondered for a moment, "The price of a single cowhide is [-] copper plates. For such a large order as Fourth Young Master, I am willing to offer a discount of [-] coppers per piece. What do you think?"

"No problem," Du Wenkai nodded, he was not interested in bargaining, but just asked, "When can we get all these cowhide?"

For such a small leather shop, [-] pieces of cowhide is not a small amount, and Du Wenkai worried that the waiting time would be very long.

"After paying the deposit, it will be delivered within two days." Huang Que said with a smile.

"Deal!" In two days, within Du Wenkai's acceptance range, after paying the deposit at Huang Que, he rushed to the next location.

Du Wenkai ordered another huge wicker basket with a diameter of three meters and ten thick hemp ropes.As for fuel, there are not many choices. There is no refining technology for liquefied petroleum gas in this world, only coal.

In order to make Du Wenying enjoy playing, Du Wenkai ordered a large amount of coal to fill all the nine idle storage compartments of Najie.

Huang Que's efficiency was very high, and it took only one day to deliver all fifty cowhide.Du Wenkai summoned the seamstresses at home to sew these cowhide.

Du Wenkai's big move caught the attention of the family members. Wang Binglan and Du Wenying went to see it together once. Facing the scattered cowhide in the yard and the busy female workers, they were confused.

Another three days passed in a blink of an eye, and there was still one day before the agreed deadline. According to Du Wenkai's request, the female workers sewed fifty pieces of cowhide together, leaving only one hole.

The two most important points in making a hot air balloon are fire prevention and air leakage prevention, but there is something called "hydrosol" in this world that can perfectly solve these two problems.

Hydrosol is taken from a plant called adhesive grass. It has a certain degree of stickiness and is fire-resistant. It is commonly used as a glue for bonding shoe soles on the Mysterious Continent.

This time, Du Wenkai bought a large amount of hydrosol, and smeared it around the air intake to prevent it from being burned by the flames, and applied a thick layer on all the seams, which made him feel more at ease.

Then, Du Wenkai tied the rattan basket under the cowhide airbag with hemp rope to make a hanging basket. A brazier was erected above the hanging basket, and the brazier was connected to a bellows to heat up.

In this way, a simple hot air balloon is ready.

When Du Wenying and Wang Binglan were invited, they looked forward to it, but when they saw the whole picture of the hot air balloon, a deep question appeared in their minds: "Can this thing really fly?"

The structure of the hot air balloon is too simple, nothing more than a large number of cowhide stitched together, with a wicker basket tied underneath.These are very common things. The two of them walked around in a big circle, but they didn't see anything special. It was hard for them to believe that such a simple and rough thing could really take them flying.

"You'll know if you try it." Du Wenkai took the lead into the hanging basket, started to ignite the coals in the brazier above his head, pulled the bellows, and a blazing flame burned.

"Come in." Du Wenkai waved to the two girls.

The two female generals climbed into the hanging basket suspiciously, looking at Du Wenkai's next move.

Soon, the inside of the airbag began to inflate and gradually expanded. When the heated air filled the inside of the ball, the hot air balloon slowly left the ground carrying the three people.

"It's really flying!" Du Wenying exclaimed for a while.

Wang Binglan next to her looked unbelievable: "This, how is this possible?"

The hot air balloon rose steadily, leaving a huge shadow on the ground. Its huge size attracted the attention of everyone in the Du Mansion.

"God, what is that?"

"Such a big thing flying in the sky must be a creation of the gods!" Many servants began to kneel down and worship.

Du Leiming sat in the study, facing the window, enjoying the warm sunshine while handling family affairs.Suddenly, a shadow floated in front of him.

"Huh?" Du Leiming raised his head in surprise, and then he saw a scene he will never forget.

A gigantic sphere flew across the sky, and a hanging basket was tied under the sphere. His two sons and daughters and Wang Binglan were standing inside, smiling and waving to him.

Du Leiming's eyes widened, he put down the pen in his hand, lay down on the window sill with a "whoosh", poked his head out, and watched from afar.

······
"Brother, I want to learn Wind Walk." A chubby boy followed behind a skinny boy.

"You're too fat, I'll teach you this martial art when you lose another [-] catties..." Du Hao's voice stopped abruptly, and he watched the behemoth in the sky fly past him with dull eyes .

······
"Sister Binglan, I can only make the hot air balloon fly, but I can't control its moving direction, so I will trouble you." Du Wenkai turned his head and glanced at Wang Binglan.

Wang Binglan nodded mechanically, she hadn't recovered from the shock yet.

"Can I fly higher?" Du Wenying is quite adaptable, and now she just wants something more exciting.

"It's possible, but this thing is done in a hurry, and the safety cannot be guaranteed. I'm worried that flying too high will cause us accidents." Du Wenkai said seriously, he didn't want to force himself to do this task. in danger.

At the current height, even if he falls, he will suffer a little injury at most, and will not endanger his life.

"For this problem, I don't think you need to worry too much." After a moment of silence, Wang Binglan suddenly said, "Although I can't take you flying in the sky, I can use the wind as a buffer. Keep you safe and sound."

Du Wenkai hesitated for a while, finally nodded and said: "Okay, then I will start to lift off."

A large amount of coal was taken out of the ring and filled into the brazier above the head, and then the bellows was quickly pulled to make the flames burn more vigorously, and the hot air balloon began to raise its height.

For Du Wenying and Du Wenkai, Du Wenkai did not hide the existence of Najie, and he will be promoted to level ten soon, so he is not worried that someone will snatch it.

Wang Binglan quickly entered the state, using the wind to blow the hot air balloon to move.

"Overlooking from a high altitude, the scenery is so beautiful." Du Wenying was amazed, seeing the place where she has lived for more than ten years from another angle, this feeling is very strange.

Du Wenkai was a little surprised by her sister. You know, most people have a slight fear of heights, and their calves will feel weak when they are in the air, but Du Wenying is not affected at all, and even a little excited?

System prompt: Congratulations, you have completed the task and gained 160 experience points.Get your father's approval.

At this point, the mission is complete, but Du Wenkai has no intention of stopping the flight, he also wants to have a good time in the sky.
