Chapter 137: The Temptation of Cement
'Bang! Bang! Bang! ’
Pan Jitao slammed it a few more times with all his strength, but he still only smashed some powder and stone chips.
He was finally sure that this small stone was no different from a large stone.
"Huh......" Pan Zhongcheng threw away the hammer, moved his sore arm, and stepped forward to study the stone carefully.
He picked up the powder on the ground and looked at it carefully, and even tasted it with a meow......
Zhao Gongzi looked stupid, can this Nima be eaten?
"No glutinous rice, no egg whites, what kind of material do you use to be so strong?" Pan Jitao looked back at Zhao Hao, the white ash on the corner of his mouth couldn't hide his desire for knowledge.
"Can you taste this?" Zhao Gongzi opened his mouth wide, is this Nima a mouth or a chemical analyzer?
"The old man can only taste it, you used slaked lime, sand, gypsum, ......" Pan Zhongchengpin smacked the taste in his mouth, a little unsure, so he lay on the lump and licked it again.
"It seems to have a faint smell of iron......"
It's a wolf.
Zhao Hao had a capital 'service' in his heart, and suddenly had an urge to raise Lao Pan'er in captivity and let him act as a human flesh analyzer for himself.
In this way, the chemical industry of the Ming Dynasty could start ten years in advance.
Fortunately, Lao Pan Ernai was dignified and upright, and he couldn't be silently included in the missing person, which dispelled Zhao Gongzi's evil thoughts.
Pan Zhongcheng, who didn't know that he was about to lose his freedom, still asked like a big curious baby: "What other ingredients did you add, is it expensive?" How long did it take to become like this. ”
"Cement, home-grown is not valuable. It's been three days since it was built. Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Isn't Zhongcheng in a hurry to go home?" Don't delay your journey, hurry up and maybe get home after dark. ”
"You!" Pan Jitao was furious, and he wanted to spit out fragrant fragrance again.
But he was too interested in what Zhao Hao said about 'cement'.
Pan Zhongcheng's complexion changed several times, and finally softened his figure, and said with a sneer: "You kid, when did the old man say that he was leaving?" ”
He hurriedly motioned to the servant with his eyes and hurriedly moved his luggage back.
"Is the old man the kind of person who is anticlimactic? said that he would help the elders of Kunshan fight the flood, then he would definitely stick to it until after the flood. ”
"Forget it, your old man's anger is too big, and my little family is afraid." Zhao Gongzi still shook his head.
"You!" Pan Jitao was churning for a while, but he still suppressed his temper under the temptation of cement, and squeezed out a smile and said: "Okay, I promise not to get angry again, this is done, right?" ”
"What if words don't count?" Zhao Gongzi asked childishly.
"What do you say?" Pan Jitao felt like he was about to explode.
"You have to promise that every time you get angry, you'll stay with me for another month." Zhao Hao said with a serious face.
"Uh......" Pan Jitao opened his mouth and stammered, nodding nod.
Zhao Shouzheng also secretly sweated for Lao Pan'er. The heart said that you have such a violent temper, if you really nod, you will directly change the household registration to Kunshan County.
"Look, I knew you didn't count." Zhao Hao twisted his head and made a gesture to leave.
"Don't go, don't go." Pan Jitao was helpless, grabbed Zhao Hao and said, "I promise you that it won't be possible?" ”
After a pause, he pointed to the lump of stone and said: "As long as the cement is really as godly as you said, the old man promises to leave the fire for an extra month until he is served, is it okay now?" ”
"yes, that's fine." Zhao Hao finally nodded, and the two of them pulled the hook like children.
Zhao Gongzi stopped maliciously selling cuteness at this time, and took Pan Shen down the embankment.
Without the shelter of the embankment, Pan Jitao saw that there were ten big boats with Zhao Gongzi.
Zhao Hao nodded, and Yu Ben ordered his subordinates to lift the tarpaulin covering the ship.
I saw that the first boat was full of dirty sacks. The first nine boats were boatloads of rough stone.
By the way, these ten boats all came to Kunming with Zhao Gongzi yesterday.
In other words, half of the ships brought by Zhao Gongzi yesterday were not carrying grain.
This is why he was aggressive as soon as he came up, inciting the people to attack Lin Xunji and the minions of the Xu family.
I'm really worried that if the Inspector Na Lin finds out that his ship is loaded with half stone and half grain, it will really be yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not that or that.
Fortunately, Lin Xun collapsed, which made Zhao Haobai worried.
~~
Workers carry sacks off the boat and pile them in the open space along the river.
Zhao Hao asked someone to open a bag and show it to Pan Jitao.
"So thin, like fried noodles?" Pan Shen grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully.
Just as Pan Jitao was about to taste it, Zhao Hao hurriedly grabbed him.
"This thing reacts when it comes to water, so you don't want to eat it if you don't want to hold your throat."
"Uh......" Pan Jitao hesitated for a moment, and finally resisted the pica hidden in his heart, clapped his hands and said, "How to use this cement?" ”
"Well, look at it." Zhao Gongzi smiled and asked Yu Ben to demonstrate it to Pan Shen'er.
Yu Ben ordered someone to open a few bags of cement, and then directly took river sand and stones from the river, mixed them roughly in a ratio of one to one to three, added one-third of the cement water, and stirred them on the spot with wooden sticks.
"And with gravel?" Pan Jitao opened his eyes again.
During his construction of the embankment, he hated gravel. Because there are too many stones, the embankment will leak.
And the disobedient workers refused to sift it clean, so they directly filled the embankment with soil and stones. As a result, the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in one hole, which can affect the entire section of the embankment.
Of course, there are too many stones by the river......
Now that Zhao Hao uses the most gravel, Pan Jitao's interest is even stronger. It seems that the consumption of cement and stone is much less than imagined.
Taking advantage of the workers' stirring, Zhao Hao asked people to dig a trench the size of a coffin board in the ground as a foundation.
Wait until the trench is dug and the concrete is mixed.
He asked Yu Ben to lay a half-foot-thick layer of concrete at the bottom of the trough to lay the foundation, and then spread the rubble of different shapes on it.
Wait until the rubble is about halfway through the concrete, then pour the concrete. Once all the voids have been filled, rubble is laid layer by layer and concrete is poured.
In this way, layer by layer, a bumpy and ugly wall appeared in front of everyone.
Finally, the gaps are filled with mortar and small pieces of stone to ensure that the stones are completely encased in concrete.
Well, it looks much more pleasing to the eye.
The whole process does not require a professional bricklayer, and there is no technical content, it is just to match the strange shapes, large and small rubblestones, and put them together as smooth as possible.
From the beginning of laying the concrete, to the construction of the whole wall, that is, the completion of the meal.
I can see that Pan Jitao's sweat and pores all over his body have exploded!
Because if the stone pond is built normally, in such a short period of time, I am afraid that even the eye on a stone has not been chiseled.
Not to mention how long it takes to chisel a stone that meets the specifications.
What kind of speed is that?
That's flying speed!
It doesn't seem impossible to have a stone embankment a month.
ps. The fifth watch, ask for a monthly pass!!
