Nongmen Space: Koi Carp Wife Prosperous Husband and Prosperous Family

Chapter 85 Proposing a competition, full confidence

After chatting for a few words, Xu Jianing rushed to the new house with his eldest sister.

Several women who helped cook, and some people who helped build houses, have already started working in an orderly manner.

Seeing them coming, Li Zheng hurried over and said to them with a smile: "You two sisters, why are you here so early? We just arrived too."

"Isn't this just to make everyone eat enough and work hard. Unexpectedly, I got up late. I see that those uncles and brothers have already started working."

Xu Jianing really didn't expect that the two sisters woke up so early, but they still came late.

Suddenly, she saw someone was adding water to the yellow mud, and another was stirring it.

She pointed to those people and asked, "Grandpa Lizheng, what are they doing?"

Li Zheng looked over, "Oh, we have already contacted the boss in the town a few days ago, and they will send the blue bricks today. These are going to be used for bricklaying."

"Bricklaying?" Xu Jianing suddenly remembered, she had read in the book before, that the Great Wall of later generations can still be so strong after passing through, because people used a special material when it was built, " Glutinous Rice Mortar".

It is a paste made from glutinous rice mixed with slaked lime, and some limestone.

It is then filled in the voids of the masonry, making super-strength "glutinous rice mortar".

This mortar is more viscous and more resistant to water.In the case of underdeveloped technology in the past, it was generally used to build large buildings such as mausoleums, pagodas, and city walls.

As far as their current situation is concerned, except for the higher cost, everything else is fine.

Xu Jianing is not a person who likes to wrong herself.

She knew that with this kind of pulp, a stronger house could be built, so she put forward her opinion without thinking about spending more money.

"Grandpa Lizheng, my house doesn't use this kind of yellow mud for bricks. I know a material that is more water-resistant than yellow mud. Let's replace it with that."

Li Zheng was a little surprised, he knew that this girl knew a lot, but their ancestors learned how to build a house for generations.

How could she know better than them?

Xu Jianing's voice was not too loud, but the people next to him still heard it.

Someone couldn't help saying, "Girl, it's not that I'm talking too much. You're definitely better at cooking than us elders, but you still don't know as much as we do about building a house."

"Not to mention anything else, many of the houses of the big families in the town were built with the help of our brothers. We are all from the village, and we will never cheat you. Leave this to us."

Xu Jianing heard the implication, and told her not to interfere.

This made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She glanced at the man. He was tall and energetic. Why were his words so unpleasant?

Seeing Xu Jianing staring at him, the man blushed and scratched his head, looking a little naive.

Li Zheng on the side, afraid of causing misunderstanding, quickly explained, "Girl, Erhu is an honest man, so don't blame him for speaking too directly. He has no other malicious intentions, after all, our place is built like this .”

"However, you are the master. If you don't want to build it like this, we can also do it according to your requirements. But, in case...you are a smart person, you should understand."

Although Li Zheng's words were not finished, Xu Jianing could still hear the meaning behind his words.

It's very simple, that is, they can build the house according to her requirements, but if there is any accident, they will not bear this responsibility.

These, she can also understand.

Building a house is a major event in the countryside.

People like Erhu and the others rely entirely on craftsmanship for their livelihood.In case something happens, if you tell it, you will smash the signboard.Who would dare to ask them to build a house in the future?

Thinking of this, she hesitated.She didn't know if she should persevere.

"Grandpa Lizheng, Brother Erhu, I think it's better to let Ning'er talk about it first. Let's see if her idea is feasible. If it is feasible, follow her. If it is not feasible, follow the usual practice .”

Xu Jiayin, who had witnessed all this, suddenly stood up and said these words without knowing where the courage came from.

"I like it! Let the girl tell. Anyway, we haven't started laying bricks yet."

Xu Jianing looked at his eldest sister gratefully.

After adjusting her emotions, she spoke slowly, "I heard that if you mix glutinous rice slurry, slaked lime and some sand and stone together, it will have a strong viscosity, and if it is used to lay bricks, it will be more water-resistant."

"Well, let's try it first. I'll prepare the materials now. Anyway, the green bricks haven't been delivered yet, so let's take a break and see which one is more viscous and waterproof. After the experiment is completed, we will make a decision .”

Her proposal was approved by many people.

Especially Erhu, he nodded abruptly, and said loudly, "Okay, but let me tell you, girl, where did you learn this method? Those of us who often deal with dirt have never never heard of that."

Xu Jianing smiled awkwardly, can she tell the truth?Well now, how to explain?So many people are watching them.

Don't go wrong.She thought about it, and bravely made up a story, "Have you heard about that Mr. Wen? Our family knows him very well. I've heard him travel all over the world over the years."

"Sister, isn't there still an empty pot? Help me boil some glutinous rice milk. When we went to the town a few days ago, I bought a big bag of glutinous rice. I'm going to prepare other materials now. Aunts, It’s up to you to worry about making breakfast.”

Xu Jiayin nodded worriedly.She didn't know what happened to her sister, how could she come out like this suddenly, which made people feel a little overwhelmed.

In fact, she really wanted to remind her sister, so why be serious.

She knew all the people Li was helping to hire, and that job was one of the best in the village.Many people have the experience of building a house.

Thinking of the big bag of glutinous rice at home, Xu Jiayin didn't think that their sister did it on a whim.To put it bluntly, this should have been planned for a long time.

She knew slaked lime, but few people used it to build houses.She suddenly remembered that it was not safe, and it would easily hurt her skin, and she didn't have time to remind her.

Seeing that she was a little out of control, the others quickly relieved, "It's okay, this hasn't started yet. Maybe she didn't find what she wanted, so she gave up halfway."

Xu Jiayin sighed helplessly, these people don't understand Ning'er too well.She can propose such a contest so abruptly, that is to say she has full confidence.

　Ask for support, subscribe, recommend tickets, monthly tickets, rewards, whatever, it’s better to leave footprints.hey-hey
