"What? And this good thing? ”

Zhang Qiang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't believe what Master Cao said, although he was not an expert in architecture, but he also knew that the ancestors had built houses for thousands of years, except for using bricks and tiles instead of stones, this and mud walls have never changed, what kind of moth is Xiao Han?

Master Cao also had a sad face, sighed, and said slowly: "Hey, I don't know, but the Hou Ye still doesn't let the living mud catch the straw, today there are several people in the family to ask, when can this house get up, there were no materials before, and I was not in a hurry, but now I can't build it with the materials, this is sad!" ”

"That's it, I've lived in a shed for so many days, and I see that a house is going to be built, and I won't let it be built, who can stand this?" Zhang Qiang also nodded on the side, the whole family has two decent houses, and he lives in one, although it is because there are pregnant women in the family, but everyone else sleeps in the shed, and he sleeps in the house, which always feels a little awkward!

Master Cao put his pen aside, turned to look at Zhang Qiang, and said, "That's what I said!" Ay...... Or, you are the closest to Hou Ye, you go and ask Hou Ye? Let's see what's going on? ”

Zhang Qiang thought about it for a while, and his heart was idle, so it was okay to go and see. This said to Master Cao: "Okay, then old Cao, you are watching here, I'll go over there to see what's going on, if it doesn't work, just follow the old way, in case it rains, this masonry or something is not tight, and those freshly dried wood will suffer!" ”

"That's right, that's to say, you go and come back quickly, I'll let them build a shed here first, and move the things that are afraid of water in first, just in case!"

"Okay, I'll go first!"

After making up his mind, Zhang Qiang drank the cold boiled water that Master Cao put on the table in one gulp, and then got up and went to the stable to lead the horse.

At this moment, on the side of Shishan, Xiao Han, who has always been easy to speak, is losing his temper......

I didn't sleep well last night, and I wanted to throw a stone at Zhang Qiang's house several times and ask him to whisper to me, but I held back several times.

His body is young now, but he is not a eunuch, like this. Who can stand it?

As a result, as soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Han, who had endured it all night, jumped up from the pile of money, kicked up a few feet and slept like a dead pig, and hurried to Shishan.

When he came to Shishan, the sun had just risen over the horizon, and it was a little strange to sleep at this time, so Xiao Han simply hurried to experiment with his cement.

Remember the composition of cement, the materials are not difficult to find, as long as you find out the proportion between them, fortunately this time a large kiln was built, several copies were allocated at one time, the proportion of each was recorded, and a small pile of materials was sent to the newly built kiln.

Watching the kiln door "clang" shut, several craftsmen began to fill the fire, and the sound of the bellows being pulled up was whining, like the sound of Tao Xun, which made people want to sleep even more.

Xiao Han vaguely remembered that the temperature of burning cement should be very high, after all, the materials were all refractory things, so after sending them in, they would not be able to come out for a while, and it was not interesting to watch people pull the bellows, so he planned to find a place to take a nap.

came out, followed by a tail-like stunned man, and took a turn around here to take a look.

The small kiln has been completely sealed today, and it is not planned to be reopened for a period of time in the future, after all, there will be a house here soon, and it is always unsafe for outsiders to come and go, and it is always unsafe to be seen by others.

There were two groups of people who sent the materials, one group was sent to Xiao Han's poor Hou Mansion station, and the other group crossed the river in the fiefdom and sent it to Shishan, Xiao Han was preparing to start work on both sides.

After all, whether it's striking iron or something else, you can't always open it, and you have to build a few places to rest, and now the weather is not bad, in case it is winter, when the northwest wind blows, there is no house to stay in?

Steward Lu had already said hello to the craftsmen, so when the delivery cart came, the people who were okay at hand were like the thieves, and they all ran out to help unload the truck, but the delivery boy was startled, and thought that he had encountered a robbery.

"Hmm, green bricks, this is a brick house?"

Blacksmith Lao Zhao was the first to run to the side of the car, picked up a brick in the car and showed it to the people behind.

When the young apprentice heard this, he hurriedly jumped on the cart next to him, kicked the golden straw to the side, and suddenly revealed the neat stacks of tiles below, and the apprentice took a breath of cold air at that time: "Why are you Hou Ye really atmospheric, this built house can't collapse in a hundred years......"

"Bang ......" a crisp sound.

Indeed, before the apprentice finished speaking, a slap with the size of a fan slapped him on the leg.

"Fart, will you say auspicious words? Get down for me, stomp on the broken tiles, and see how I clean you up! ”

"Hey......

The apprentice touched his leg and laughed twice, and when he saw the master slap again, he jumped off the car in a hurry.

Knowing that these are for their own use, they are extra comfortable to work, and the outsiders who came with the car did not make a big move, and the craftsmen have already classified the things that were sent, and the yards were neat and tidy, and they looked exceptionally pleasing to the eye! I haven't worked hard for a few days, and my body is almost rusty!

The work was too smooth, and when Xiao Han came here, the men who delivered the materials began to arrange the carriages and horses and prepare to go back.

"Lord Hou......"

"Lord Hou is well"

Greeting all the way, Xiao Han's grinning face suddenly changed when he saw the bricks.

Rubbing his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, Xiao Han came to the brick wall in a few steps, pointed to the neat stacks of bricks and asked the people around him: "This, this...... What's going on, how to send the green bricks? Didn't Steward Lu say that this is the best brick in Chang'an? What's going on! ”

The guy who delivered the goods had already seen Xiao Han coming, and he also knew the identity of this lord from the names of the people around him, and he was still hesitating to see the courtesy, but this Hou Ye was furious as soon as he saw him, and he felt a chill in his heart, and he hurriedly ran over, so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and quickly said:

"Back to ...... Back to the Hou Ye, the small family burned bricks for several generations, it is definitely the oldest brick kiln here in Chang'an, this time it was sent in accordance with the instructions of the shopkeeper, the best bricks were selected, and I would never dare to deceive the Hou Ye! ”

"Don't dare to deceive?" Xiao Han listened to his man's words, and his anger became even greater, and even the anger that he didn't sleep well last night surged up, grabbed a brick, and smashed it on the ground, but it didn't break......

The stunned man next to him didn't know what to think, so he picked it up again with a "whoosh", and presented it to Xiao Han with both hands, Xiao Han was a little embarrassed, but there were so many people guarding him, all looking at him, so he had to reach out and take it.

But this time I have experience, I carried it with both hands, and smashed it towards the small stone on the ground, but today this brick seems to be unable to get along with Xiao Han, this time, the stone was directly smashed into the mud by the brick, and the brick is still not broken......

The stunned fart had to be picked up again, Xiao Han was almost fainted by him, and Uncle Stunned kicked him before Xiao Han stretched out his legs and glared!

It can be seen that the guy is very numerous, obviously the corners of his mouth are twitching, and it is estimated that he can't live with a smile, and he still looks sincerely scared on his face.

"If Master Hou is dissatisfied with anything, or what kind of bricks and stones you want, please tell me, and I will go to change the ...... for Master Hou immediately."

"Red bricks, I want red bricks, whoever wants gray bricks, looking at them will not be graded! Don't tell me, you don't even have red bricks! ”

"Red bricks?"

The guy was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't know how to answer, but the stunned uncle next to him quickly pulled the corner of Xiao Han's clothes and pulled Xiao Han aside.

"Master Hou, that's wrong, green bricks are better and more expensive than red bricks, why don't you have a lot of red bricks......"

"What?"

Listening to the stunned uncle with a red face, Xiao Han was a little dumbfounded, how did he see that all the later generations were red bricks, and only very old rural areas used green bricks?

Uncle Zi's old face turned red, and he pulled Xiao Han back several steps in succession, and when he was sure that the guy couldn't hear anything, he said to Xiao Han: "Really! If you don't believe it, think about it, in a huge Chang'an city, where there are red bricks? ”

"Hey, you say that, it seems like a ......"

Xiao Han thought about it carefully when he heard this, and it seemed that after coming to Datang, he really hadn't seen a red brick house.

This is embarrassing, although it is not clear why there is such a big difference in the past life and this life on the issue of building a house, but looking at the present, it is undoubtedly that he was wrong, and he was about to hesitate to change it if he knew his mistake, when he heard that Uncle Zizi had returned to the man, and he was still shouting to the guy:

"Hou Ye said that red bricks are red bricks! Do you have?! ”

"There's... There was ......"

"Yes! What?! Uncle Zizi's eyes widened, and he asked in an aggravated tone, "Huh?" Is there any! ”

Is the guy who can be sent to deliver the goods stupid or not, his legs trembled a little when he was stared at by Uncle Stunned, and he quickly changed his words: "No, there is no ......"

"Hmph...... I don't even have a red brick, I deserve to be scolded by our Hou Ye! A bunch of rags, I should have let you pull them all back, but it's not easy to see you guys, so let's stay! Why are you stunned? Don't thank you yet?! ”

After Uncle Zizi blew his beard and glared, the guy was busy running in front of Xiao Han, and his waist was about to bend to the ground: "The villain Xie Hou Ye has a lot!" ”

"Forget it, forget it......"

Xiao Han touched his nose and walked out without looking back, knowing that this was Uncle Stunned defending himself and defending His Holiness, even if it was wrong, it was someone else's fault! Others have to apologize to him, but this blatant bullying still makes it somewhat difficult for the five good boys who were born in a new society and grew up under the red flag to accept.

"Hou Ye Gaoyi..."

The thank you voice of the guy behind him reached his ears, as if he was laughing at his ignorance, which made Xiao Han walk faster and faster, and the stunned man in the back hurriedly followed, this is what his uncle explained, when there are many people, you must follow Xiao Han, so as not to have any accidents.
