The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 198 Not Like a Local Tyrant in the South
The front yard of the courtyard, in the morning.

On the big weekend, Qin Huairu helped Li Ming clean up the house, wash the sheets, and dry the mats as usual.

The little widow is getting more and more tender and moist, and it's not like no one has murmured in their hearts.

However, there is Jia Zhang in front, who usually looks harmless to humans and animals, and everyone has not forgotten the past achievements, such as the matter that the second aunt got a big mouth from her for nothing.

Later, Li Ming, who had a high force value, entered the security department, and then he became the section chief.He communicated with either the chief of the section or the director of the department, and he was either the deputy factory director or the deputy bureau chief, and he was also eager to help the people in the yard.

The time is still short, and there is no one chatting in the yard.

In the steel rolling mill, Workshop No. [-] had just been rectified once, and Li Ming threatened him again, but no one caused trouble for the time being.

For the physical changes, Qin Huairu cited the improvement of the family's financial situation as an excuse, which also makes sense.

Qin Huairu is usually a good human being, so no one will go into it. Her family's life is not that difficult, but many people are happy for her.

The third mother, who was also washing in the front yard, asked, "Huairu, is your mother-in-law really going to the countryside today?"

"Relatives from the country will come to pick me up later, and I'll go after lunch. Third mother, this is the idea of ​​the three uncles in the yard helping my mother-in-law."

"If you leave three children behind, you will suffer a little more."

"Encounter such unlucky things, just work harder. That's all, thanks to the willingness of everyone in the courtyard to help."

"Where did Xiao Ming go?"

Qin Huairu was also a little curious about this, but he didn't show his curiosity. He said calmly, "The door is open, and I didn't see him just now. He seems to be going out to work every weekend."

"If it wasn't for Xiao Ming's help, I guess your mother-in-law would suffer even more."

"Third Mom, you are really right. I heard from people in the factory that some people caught in the street have to bring their own food and go to the construction site to work for a month."

"Oh, that's a shame."

"Who said no, my mother-in-law wants me to thank everyone for their help."

"It's all neighbors, and no one knows when things will happen."

The two chatted while washing things, and the time passed without knowing it, and the work was not so tiring.

It is not uncommon for women to gather together by pools, wells, streams and rivers, chatting about their daily life while washing things.

A group of people are all women, especially married women, so it is easy to speak boldly and blatantly, and the older girls are often teased to blush.

At this time, it is a competition to see who is thick-skinned. The younger the face, the more people will be teased. The pungent big girl can even fight back successfully.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, two young men sent by Jia Zhang's hometown to pick up his old aunt from the city arrived at the courtyard.

Jia Zhang still had some superficial skills, and the family's financial conditions improved, so he entertained them with delicious food and drinks.

She also knows that she is not light, and only when people are full can they have the strength to ride her to the countryside.

Seen off by the three uncles in the courtyard and other neighbors watching the fun, Jiazhang set off after lunch, taking the food, food stamps, candies, pastries, and various luggage that Qin Huairu had prepared for her.

It makes sense for two people to come, one to carry Jia and Zhang, and the other to carry the luggage, which is just right.

Stick is not attached to his grandma, but he never forgets the candies and pastries that grandma took away.

the other side.

Li Ming drove the pickup truck back to the rolling mill, and rode his bicycle back to the small courtyard, but Lou Xiaoe still didn't come back.

He gave Fu Bo a 20-jin can of peanut oil, and then went to the nearby Chengdong District Library to read.

Idle is also idle, read more and gain more knowledge!
He was very glad that the time he traveled through was still a modern society.If you go to ancient times, don't think about copying poems to become famous. If he chats with other literati, he won't understand any words or allusions, and he won't be able to chat.

Typical ignorance!No matter how wonderful the poetry is, it will be considered as plagiarized from some buried talent.

On the way back to the small courtyard for lunch at noon, Li Ming saw many carts transporting coal.

After lunch, he went to the coal shop to order briquettes. He didn't need them for cooking, but he could use them for kang heating.The coal shop encourages ordering in advance, and he ordered a large quantity, which will be delivered to him tomorrow.

Then Li Ming went back to the rolling mill and drove out of the city.

He just read a book in the morning, which contains many simple methods of making cement, glass, brown sugar, etc.

It is a very simple method of making cement, and he is going to try it.

Material 75: Clay, bricks, fragments of pottery or porcelain, and slag, accounting for [-]%.

Material two: quicklime, accounting for 25%.In ancient times, it could be obtained by burning limestone at high temperature, but now he can buy it with money.

Material three: raw gypsum or plaster of paris, optional, less than 5%.He can be obtained directly from gypsum ore.

These several materials can be refined into cement by grinding and pulverizing them together.

These materials happened to be available in Mentougou and Fangshan in the west of the capital, and Li Ming easily got them all after driving around.

He parked his car back at the rolling mill, rode to buy saws and other carpentry tools, and then returned to No. 95 courtyard house.

Li Ming inspected the courtyard house as usual. If Jia Zhang didn't see anyone, he should have gone to the countryside.

The courtyard in the afternoon was very quiet, he entered the house and closed the door, and then entered the small world.

He was going to build a southern-style two-and-a-half-storey villa in Small World, an idea that had been brewing for a long time.

The wood, sand, and gravel have been stored for a long time. The broken copper and iron that are usually collected, the blue tiles were collected in the morning, and the cement has just been obtained.

It can be said that everything is ready and only needs action.

He first drew a sketch of the villa, and reserved the location of water pipes and wires.

Because he was fully prepared, he only spent more than 20 points of luck to build a two-and-a-half-story villa.

Standing in the newly built house, Li Ming felt that something was missing. After thinking for a long time, he realized that it was not decorated with marble.

He murmured to himself: "Without marble, there would be no taste of local tyrants in the south! No wonder it still feels so short. Never mind, let's make glass first."

Glass is also easy to buy, but after reading the book, he thought of trying it himself.

The raw materials used to make glass in the glass factory are quartz sand, soda ash, limestone, feldspar, etc.

The book he read in the morning is very practical, there are simpler methods, sand and soda ash, these two are enough.Soda ash plays the role of clearing the bubbles in the glass liquid, and 1%-2% is enough.

Soda ash is needed to make steamed buns, so he has no shortage.In ancient times, there was no way to buy soda ash with money, and it could be extracted with plant ash.

He ground and mixed sand and soda ash, dried it, and fired the mixture in a crucible into liquid glass in a kiln, a step that required high temperatures.When he went to Mentougou to get cement materials, he bought some coal by the way, which was enough for firing the kiln.

He put the fired liquid glass on the surface of the tin liquid, and then stretched it into a flat glass plate.The tin liquid comes from the tin jug, and he melted the jug, which is quite unscrupulous.

This step in the glass factory is machine-operated, and his manual operation is also very stable.

When the interest came, he also blown a few glass bottles.
