Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 26 The Joy of Housewarming (Part [-])
But it has to be calcined at a high temperature, more than 1000 degrees, which is difficult to meet in the current kiln conditions, so she needs to customize one by herself.

Right now, with the little salary she paid, she paid tremblingly for the glutinous rice, so how could she dare to do other experiments.

As for the roof, she has no money to buy tiles. She is a poor person, and she will not buy materials that require money, but she also does not want to use thatch. After much deliberation, she chose bamboo tiles.

This kind of bamboo tile is a precedent in Ye State.

Cut the bamboo in half to imitate the shape of the tiles, and lay the front and back alternately. It is light in weight, does not absorb water, and has good drainage. The most important thing is that the construction is also labor-saving.

Compared with a thatched roof, as long as it is regularly brushed with a layer of tung oil, it can be kept watertight and rotten for more than ten years.

However, there is no tung oil in their house, and it is even more difficult to find it in the market. She will refine it later when she finds green tung oil.

After she has prepared all the required materials, she will start building the house.

When Zheng Quchi took out the blueprints of the house that had been redesigned, the first-class construction workers, Qinggong, were like grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden—an eye-opener.

She sharpened a charcoal pencil, bought the roughest paper on the market, and used modern hand-painting. The final shape of the building was displayed in front of their eyes in the most intuitive and three-dimensional image.

This is a country house with logs as the base color and a row of detached houses.

The main house is divided into two halls, three bedrooms, backyard, front yard, kitchen, toilet and bathing area, the layout is not much different from ordinary houses.

The problem is the style and construction method of the house. There are steps, stone paths, and grass between the yard and the house.

It is not so much a residence for people to rest, but more like a delicate and amazing work of art.

There are even horticultural flower beds and landscape stone tables in the courtyard, and a row of fruit trees that turn fruit in four seasons are planted around the wall.

"Brother Sang, your house...is too unusual."

"That's right, just looking at the blueprint, I'm already looking forward to how it will be built in the end."

Everyone was very excited at this time. Before, they thought it was just building a house, but now they thought it was building a novel and innovative building.

From materials, construction methods, and house design, every aspect has broken their cognition and created a new experience.

Since there are enough people building the house, and there is no need for cumbersome processes such as building steel frames and installing water and electrical appliances, it only took half a month to complete the overall frame of the house.

During this period, Zheng Quchi took the time to make some homemade decoration paint. She used a brush to paint the excrement-yellow earth wall into white. The main raw materials of this white paint are resin and lime, which can prevent moisture, insects and mosquitoes to a large extent.

After the artisans heard about the purpose of this paint, they all asked for a list of raw materials with shy faces, planning to paint it for themselves in the future.

Naturally, Zheng Quchi had no selfishness, so he generously gave it to them.

The main body of the house is done, but the interior and exterior decoration is still empty.

She ran to the grove and dug up the turf by the stream to decorate her yard.

I also found some ornamental and medicinal plants such as wild roses, wild chrysanthemums, and calamus, and planted them in the flower beds. I also asked people to buy some peach and pear saplings for planting in the yard.

In short, although her house is not big, it is full of bright scenery everywhere, evergreen in all seasons, and everything is unique.

Looking at the houses built by them and gradually taking shape, everyone sighed.

"Brother Sang, I never knew before that a house that doesn't need to cost a lot of money can be built so pleasing to the eye."

"However, it is the courtyard wall of your house. It is really high enough. I don't know what the intention is?"

What other intentions can there be.

For anti-theft, anti-thief, anti-surveillance.

Why is she willing to spend a lot of money to go to the village to buy glutinous rice? It is all stable and safe. She also put thin and pointed wood on the wall of the rubble courtyard. Don't even try to break open her yard easily.

Although it can't prevent people who know martial arts, if someone comes in through a special channel, she has already arranged a trap.

On the day of the completion of Sangjiayuan, the craftsmen stared at the houses built by them for a long time, dazzled and amazed.

It's not that it's as shocking as a magnificent palace, nor is it that the Xiangxie building is like a fairyland with feasting and feasting, but it is a beautiful home that can really make them feel warm and comfortable, just like a dream.

On the day of the relocation, Zheng Quchi paid a lot of money to buy some roast chicken, steamed buns with white noodles, several pots of stew, and a large pot of steamed rice, and came to treat them to a banquet to thank them.

The craftsmen also gave face, not only people came, but also congratulatory gifts.

A set of seven-star tables and chairs brought from Qinggong's house.

As expected of his famous work, the seven-star table can be divided into seven sections, the square table with four corners can be removed, and it can be spliced ​​to form a large round table for seven people.

Lei Gong has a servant in the county. Although he didn't come to help this time, he knew that she was moving today, so he specially asked someone to send three canopy beds. These are precious and valuable things, and the villagers watching They are all envious.

Other craftsmen also sent boxes, cabinets, and shelves to celebrate the relocation.

Zheng Quchi happily welcomed all these furniture into the house, looking at the empty room, it was filled to the brim after such a short effort, she almost lost her eyesight from laughing.

Brother Sang looked flattered and embarrassed, but when he saw Zheng Quchi, he smiled unceremoniously, and he didn't know what to say.

Zheng Quchi was naturally grateful for their efforts, these people were her new friends in this world.

She can't afford the wages anymore, everyone here is a well-known old carpenter in the village and county, and it would be ridiculous for her to give the little money.

So she took note of this favor.

And give them some of their architectural technical knowledge.

In the house, a platform was built with a landscape stone table, the shape and size of which were chiseled by the carpenter according to her ideas.

The crescent moon hangs in the night, after a drink and a feast, the mouths of the elders can't be idle, and they start to brag about each other, which is funny and lively.

"My son will be able to marry a wife this year, and next year he will give birth to a fat grandson for my old Wu family."

"Speaking of which, it will be the end of December in the blink of an eye, and the county's send-off team is about to start again. Hehe, my younger brother has been looking forward to it for a year, so I have to grab a beautiful wife for her this year. "

Zheng Quchi felt familiar when he heard this topic.

It suddenly occurred to him that his brother seemed to have said that he wanted her to join the wedding procession to get married.

She leaned over and asked, "Brother, Uncle, what's going on with this send-off team?"

"You don't even know this, by the way, Brother Sang, you should be sixteen too."
