Facing Cui Yuan's questioning, Zheng Peng looked calm and did not answer positively, but asked with a smile: "Elder Cui, do you think it's stuffy here?" ”

After Zheng Peng mentioned it, Cui Yuan realized that the wind in the lobby was not strong, but it was very cool, and when he walked around in the front yard wearing a round-necked robe, he felt a little hot, but after entering the lobby, the heat seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

"Maybe it's because there are fewer people now, and the breeze is coming." Cui Yuan refused to admit it.

Zheng Peng didn't speak, and motioned to Huang San on the side to close all the doors and windows in the lobby.

Closing the doors and windows, the light in the lobby is much worse, but the lobby still has a refreshing coolness, without a trace of stuffiness.

Cui Yuan observed very carefully, pointed to the ground and said, "Is it because of the bluestone slabs?" ”

Extravagant, other people's lobby, the ground is mostly paved with bricks, economical, and very beautiful, Zheng Peng's lobby, chose a stone slab similar to bricks, not easy to find if you don't look carefully, touch it lightly with your hand, feel very cool and comfortable.

Strange, even if it is a slate, it will not be so cool, is it possible, what is so strange about these slates?

"Elder Cui is half right," Zheng Peng said.

"Half? What other reasons are there? ”

Zheng Peng nodded: "Old Cui, you look down and listen, what is behind the slate." ”

Cui Yuan was prompted by curiosity, lying on the ground regardless of the image, listening quietly, and soon said with a surprised face: "Water? Is there water flowing down there? ”

Lying on the ground and putting your ears close to the stone slab, although the sound was not loud, you could clearly hear the sound of gurgling water, and blurted out in surprise on the spot.

Zheng Peng nodded and said, "That's right, there is a ditch under the lobby that brings in water and flows from west to east, so the lobby can be so cool, which can be regarded as an upgraded version of the wind to the instrument." ”

In order to make the water of the pond clean and clear, the Zhengpeng River introduced living water, which later became bigger and bigger, not only for the irrigation of the fiefdom, but also for the full use of the house, and the lobby was one of them.

Make a sandwich under the lobby, not deep, about ten centimeters is enough, so that the cool river water flows under the lobby, and the river water can pass the coolness to the lobby through the stone slab, which is equivalent to adding a cooling water pad to the lobby, which has a cooling effect.

It is equivalent to installing a water-cooled "air conditioner".

Cui Yuan said a little angrily: "It's not easy to do business all day long, you have to put your mind on the right path." ”

Cui Yuan of the wind comes to the instrument clearly, it is very practical to use the wind cabinet to send the wind to the corner where it is needed, and now Ketang uses not wind, but water, which feels more upscale.

Even Cui Yuan has to admit that Zheng Peng does have a little cleverness, and I don't know if this little cleverness will make money for him like a bicycle and a wind ritual.

It's nothing to be able to mess around, but you can make a lot of money after messing around, which is called ability.

"The lesson of Elder Cui is that the younger generation must improve." Zheng Peng said very well-behaved.

Now accommodate him first, don't get angry with him, and wait for Lushu to enter the door, lest he throw his face and stumble all day long, and after the matter is completed, this old boy will do whatever he likes.

After crossing the river, the board is drawn.

Cui Yuan didn't bother to train Zheng Peng again, his target light was quickly attracted by the wall, and said with some surprise: "What is posted on the wall?" So bright, is it gray or lacquer? Didn't you put it in silver? ”

After touching it, Cui Yuan opened his eyes and looked at it, and said to himself: "It's weird, what is this, it's hard and slippery, it's not a batch of ash, it's not lacquered, it seems to be porcelain, hey, there are patterns on it." ”

Huai'an walked over and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Yes, it's a secret text, I can't really see it if I don't look closely, it's so beautiful." ”

The walls of the lobby are covered with a layer of unknown things, about four feet high, which looks neat and beautiful.

Zheng Peng glanced at Huang San, Huang San immediately understood, walked over and explained: "This is called a porcelain piece, what my young master thought." ”

"Porcelain tiles? That's right, the smooth layer on the surface is the glaze," Cui Yuan said with some relief.

"Cui Langjun is so right, my young master said, the batch of ash is not bright enough, the paint is easy to damage, and it has to be repaired frequently, he once saw an ancient porcelain, said that the porcelain can still be like new after a hundred years, so he decided to put this process on the decoration, let people create a piece of flat porcelain sticking on the wall, I wanted to try, but I didn't expect the effect to be really good, accidentally got the oil ink marks, wiped it clean with a rag, very easy to use."

Putting the technique of porcelain making on decoration?

After thinking about it for a while, it worked, and this idea was really amazing.

Cui Yuan lightly tapped the porcelain piece with his hand, and said with some doubts: "The adhesion between the mud and the porcelain is not good, will it fall off?" ”

"Don't be afraid, I used cement, it has a high degree of adhesiveness, otherwise, if Cui Lao doesn't believe it, you can use a knife to pry it to see if it's stable."

Cement?

Finally to the point, Cui Yuan was ordered to investigate the role of cement this time, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Zheng Peng took the initiative to talk about this issue.

How can you easily let go of the opportunity when it comes, Cui Yuan took advantage of the effort of observation to give Huai'an a look on the side.

At Cui Yuan's signal, Huai An took out a knife from his boots, and before he made his move, he said with some anxiety: "General Zheng, if you break it....."

"It's okay, just change it, it's mine if you break it." Zheng Peng said generously.

Agreed, Huai'an was not polite, first dug lightly with the tip of the knife, feeling that the tip of the knife was difficult to move forward, the black thing was very different from the yellow mud, if it was mud, it could be cut into it with a few gentle scrapes.

Huai'an changed his strategy, sharpened and dug with the tip of the knife, and finally stretched the tip of the knife to a corner of a piece of porcelain, and then pried it up hard, just a few times, and the sound of "pop" startled Huai'an, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but be surprised: the refined knife was not broken, and the piece of porcelain was broken, and the half that was pried open fell to the ground.

The bite is very high, even if it is broken, it cannot be pried off as a whole.

"General Zheng, it's really amazing, it's so strong, and the stone slabs carved with couplets at the door are also cement-glued?"

"Not all, but a small section is buried in the soil for fixation."

After visiting the lobby and starting to walk towards the inner house, Zheng Peng began to introduce the newly renovated house:

"Cui Lao, the water of this waterfall is not carried up, but a pool higher than it is built, and the water is led to the rockery with a pipe.

"It's cool here, it's a wind detector installed, but the air outlet is cleverly hidden."

"How many people do you need to turn the fume cabinet to supply air? No, when the water is diverted, a windmill is arranged, and the windmill is driven by water, and then the windmill is used to drive the transfer device to supply air, so that as long as there is water, there is wind for twelve hours a day, if not, as long as you press a mechanism, you can stop. ”

Unconsciously, under the leadership of Zheng Peng, the group came to the bottom of the Invitation Moon Tower.

Cui Yuan walked around, carefully inspected many places, and then asked, "It's all made of bricks, Zheng Peng, these bricks are also made of the cement in your mouth, right?" ”

"That's right, it's made of cement and brick."

"Why not wood?"

"The cost of wood is high, it is easy to be damaged, it is especially not able to touch fire, and the construction period is also long, while the use of masonry is not only stable, but also much safer."

Cui Yuan's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "What do you mean, you are not afraid of fire with bricks and cement?" ”

"Pretty much."

"What do you mean?"

Zheng Peng explained: "It's like a mud house, the fire can't burn, but it will still fall in case of a big fire, and it is built with cement and bricks, and the safety level is much higher." ”

Cui Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, frowned and pointed to the pavilion with the highest position in the Invitation Yue Tower, and said with some puzzlement: "The pavilion is built so prominently, aren't you afraid that it will fall down?" ”

The highest part of the Inviting Moon Building built a Inviting Moon Pavilion, it is not built in the center of the top, but more than two-thirds of it protrudes out, hanging in the air, standing below to see a feeling of palpitations, for fear that it will "break" and fall.

It's beautiful and eye-catching, but it's too dangerous.

Zheng Peng explained: "No, the pavilion is very safe, no matter how many people are standing, there will be no safety problems." ”

"Oh, why?"

"Cui Lao, this Invite Moon Building looks like a brick structure, but in fact it also uses a lot of iron, to put it simply, it hides a fixed structure built with iron, with the east and west sides of the Invite Moon Building as the fulcrum, the confluence of the fulcrum is under the pavilion, and then forms a tripod, which is the most stable structure in terms of mechanics, under the double guarantee, the high-rise building and the pavilion above are very stable." Zheng Peng explained.

Either you don't do it, or you do it, you can do the most special, even if someone in Yuancheng repairs a house, which is bigger and taller than your own, but it is definitely not as special as yourself.

It's just a masonry design, there is not a single support point underneath, and under the action of gravity, there is a good chance that it will be suspended.

Cui Yuan and his henchman Huai'an looked at each other, and they were confused in each other's eyes: it was a triangular structure and a support point, and what mechanics were involved, Zheng Peng said it with a head and a head, but the two of them could hear it in a fog, and they couldn't understand what Zheng Peng said at all.

But one thing is for sure, Zheng Peng used water and iron when he repaired this Inviting Moon Building.

Seeing Cui Yuan's shocked look, Zheng Peng was secretly amused in his heart, and made a gesture of invitation to Cui Yuan: "Cui Lao, why don't you go up and take a look." ”

"Okay, let's go," Cui Yuan said as he walked towards the location of the stairs.

Soon, Cui Yuan stood on the Invitation Moon Pavilion, accompanied by Zheng Peng, looking at the whole Yuan City, I have to say that this condescending feeling is very good.

"Hey, this house is designed according to the gossip array?" Cui Yuan asked suddenly in surprise.

Standing at the highest place, looking at the rockery, garden, corridor, house, ear room and other buildings, Cui Yuan faintly felt a little familiar, and looked at it seriously, it felt like a gossip map.

Zheng Peng said with some admiration: "Cui Lao's vision is really good, that's right, Uncle Zheng deliberately put the essence of gossip here when he designed, saying that this is not only beautiful, but also helps the family to prosper." ”
