Lu Ming

Chapter 97
Chikan New District soon received the first batch of building materials.Originally, it was lonely here: after the simple dock was built, most of the troops went to work in the kiln area, leaving only a few people in the new area, hardening the surface of the earth by the beautiful coast every day.

With the arrival of building materials, there are also construction workers and a large number of people crossing the crowd. Today's model house project is very important, so it is presided over by professional Zheng Yangyang.

Zheng Yangyang's name sounds like a second generation, but he is actually a carpenter.After graduating from high school, I went to work in my uncle's woodware factory. Later, I went to work as a black worker at the American Emperor's place for a while. My daily job was to build wooden houses with Mexican workers.

Zheng Yangyang's age is considered a junior in the Transmigration Congregation, only 25, but he is the leader of the monkey group in the wooden structure building.

Under the command of Zheng Yangyang's electric loudspeaker, the workers shouted horns, and firstly, 8 wooden stakes with surface carbonization treatment were nailed into the ground. These 8 stakes were opposite to each other to form a rectangle.

The size of the square wooden stake is 20 by 18 cm. One end is cut into a four-sided point, and the other end is tied with hemp rope as a fastening rib. In theory, iron wire should be used here.

The stake is 60 cm above the ground, which is enough height to avoid snakes and insects, and normal rainfall will not pose a threat.

It only took 10 minutes for the excavator to smash the 6 bottom piles in place. 30 people took turns to change shifts, and it took half an hour to get the job done.This is still a special situation today. The gentlemen are eager to see the results. Under normal circumstances, it will be slower.

Next comes the ready baseplate and frame to play.Every beam and slab here was finally measured by Zheng Yangyang in the shed, so that today's model house can have less twists and turns.

A rectangular base frame was quickly erected on the 8 foundation piles, and all the joints were tenon and mortise - yes, no nails were used.

In the old world, tenon-and-mortise construction has long been a lost art, usually only seen at antique auctions.The fast and convenient wood screws produced by the assembly line completely replace the mortise and tenon.But now it is the 17th century, there are no wood screws on the wild islands, the wrought iron nails shipped from Hangzhou are of low quality and poor quality, and there are ready-made carpenters of the Ming Dynasty, so the wooden frame of the tenon-and-mortise structure appeared naturally.

The precisely measured tenon head is firmly inserted into the mortise hole. At this moment, the advantages of the tenon and mortise joint are fully evident.

Since the joints have to be cut and dug to different degrees, the disadvantage of the tenon-and-mortise structure is that hardwood must be used.Naturally, no one cares about this shortcoming at the moment. The kiln area is full of camphor wood and hardwoods such as Taiwan beech.

After the chassis is installed, green bamboos of the same length and diameter are used to build the walls. The walls are fixed by reserving grooves at the bottom and tying them. The roof is higher at one end and slightly lower at the other. It is the simplest slope roof. Done.

When everything was ready, it took 30 building block workers a full 9 hours to complete this very ordinary long bamboo-wood simple house with slings.

How should I put it, as the first self-built house that crossed the regime, although the style is a little low, and the wooden corridor and railings for watching the sunset and flirting are not used, the technology content of this house is not low!
The hut not only avoids the problem of insufficient materials, but also represents the advanced direction of prefabricated parts. The American standard parts are mixed with Chinese tenon and mortise structure. This is the perfect cross breed of Labrador and Chinese pastoral dogs, and it is the crystallization of wisdom.

Since the designer of the hut is called Zheng Yangyang, this kind of barracks-style dormitory has been affectionately called "big bungalow" from the day the design was finalized.

When a large group of people excitedly stepped on the wooden steps and walked into the room, they found that it was still full of spaciousness.The long house is 10 meters long and 2.8 meters wide, and the standard occupancy of each room is 10 people.

In the design, 5 high and low beds will be placed in the house. The bed is 1 meter wide and 2 meters long, so that a 0.8 meter wide aisle will be left.

There will be a 40 cm wide double bedside table between the two beds, occupying a distance of 7 meters with the bed.The remaining length will be reserved for the doorway and the end of the house. A long table will be placed in the doorway, and there will be an extra partition at the end of the house, where the back door and the urinal are used to wake up at night.

The hut is a bit shabby, but everything that should be considered is taken into account.

"How is the strength of this house? Can it withstand the rainy season?" After checking the building structure in detail after entering the house, Chen Dong asked while testing the outgoing bamboo windows back and forth.

"Don't worry, boss, there's absolutely no problem." Zheng Yangyang is very confident: "If the typhoon comes, the roof may be blown away, and it needs to be reinforced in advance. The other parts are definitely fine, and I don't care what the specifications of our chassis are, except that there is no Basement, no worse than Yankee's house!"

"That's good. I didn't see the working hours today, so you can check it later."

"OK, I will issue two labor tables. If the number of people is tight, I will build one in three days, and the number of people will be enough for two days."

The first "big house" slept in a few laughing "building block workers" that night.Although there is no bed, it is better to build a floor in a decent house than a rotten shack in a kiln area. These people know very well that the big house was built for them to live in.

With the passage of time, Mingren employees gradually found out the temperament of the gentlemen. "Kunren" - the vast majority of Ming people don't know what the West Kunlun and East Kunlun are, they can't tell the difference, they only know that the old man is "Kunfa".

Kunren masters are not bad: as long as they do not violate the taboos of masters, they are usually very friendly.Someone accidentally smashed the master's glass card, and he only kicked a few feet left and right, and he ran fast with one or two kicks one after the other.If this is in a big family, a meal of flesh and blood is inevitable, and broken legs are often frequent.

The gentlemen are also kind.Major injuries and minor illnesses must be treated by the boss. Three meals a day are enough to take care of them. Now, they are still spending a lot of effort to build houses for the Kuhahas. Just focus on this point.

A few days ago, there were rumors among the employees that there was a master in construction who had already responded to everyone: when the manpower was abundant, he would build some single-family "small houses" and distribute them to everyone to buy private properties.

The master also said, knowing that everyone is poor, so the new house does not even charge the deposit, and the deed will be given after the building is completed. From now on, a few points will be deducted from the wages every month. How much to deduct is up to the owner. The old man is also willing to wait.

My goodness, I'm afraid this lord is not from the country of fools?No wonder Kun Fa, God has the virtue of good life, this is Kun people doing too much good deeds, grabbing God's business, and being warned by God Kunfa!

The employees fell asleep with longing for a better future.

However, the traversers on the Yuandou, at this moment, were staring above their heads and floating waves under their feet, staring at the radar and sonar in the cabin, sailing quietly on the sea without any sleepiness.
