Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 109 Manufacture of Cement ([-])
After Wang Ping'an came back from the kiln factory next door, the calcination of cement was also completed by burning paper.

"How is it?" Wang Pingan asked Yan Shixin.

"It seems that it has been burned. They are moving out the cement." Yan Shixin said, pointing to the busy craftsmen.

After a while, the dusty Deng Yuan trotted over and saluted Wang Ping'an, "I've seen the young master, I've seen Mrs. Yan."

"Please get up quickly." Wang Pingan quickly helped Deng Yuan up and said with a smile, "Guard Deng, seeing how fast you ran, the cement must have been calcined."

"Exactly. The craftsmen and I just moved all the calcined cement out of the kiln. Sure enough, as the young master said, the calcined cement is a kind of gray powder. Please go and have a look, young master!" Deng Yuan was very excited Said.

"Good! I didn't expect it to be calcined so soon." Wang Pingan said excitedly: "Master Yan, let's go and have a look together."

"Okay, I have that intention." Yan Shixin's tone seemed flat, but he still couldn't hide his inner curiosity.

Wang Pingan and Yan Shixin followed Deng Yuan to the side of the cement that had just been calcined and was piled up like a hill by the craftsmen. Wang Pingan reached out and picked up a little cement and rubbed it, thinking: "Well, the feeling is not bad, now only the last one is left. With one procedure, there is no difference between the cement of the previous life."

"Master, Lord Yan, can this calcined cement be used?" Deng Yuanqing next to him asked nervously. Although the cement produced by Wang Ping'an was good, he was still worried, worried that some negligence would cause the cement to burn. If it can't be used, then his sin is great.

"This official doesn't know, you can ask Wang Ping'an, this official is only responsible for recording." Yan Shixin evaded.

Wang Pingan glanced at Yan Shixin and said in his heart: "As expected of an official, the first thing to do is to shirk. As long as the cement succeeds, it should be a claim for credit."

Wang Pingan smiled and said to Deng Yuan: "Well, you did a good job, Mr. Deng, the cement is calcined well."

After Wang Ping'an finished speaking, the tense faces of the craftsmen around him immediately relaxed, as if a big stone in their hearts had been released.

Wang Pingan looked into his eyes, couldn't help laughing, and said: "It seems that you think cement is too complicated. In fact, this thing is very easy to manufacture. Just find someone to tell him how to make it, and you can make usable cement. Not to mention these experienced you guys."

Hearing Wang Ping'an's praise, the craftsmen around were relieved, and Deng Yuanqing was also relieved: "Thank you, young master, for your appreciation."

In fact, this is not real cement, and the gypsum powder that was ground yesterday has not been added. Wang Pingan ordered Deng Yuan to fetch the gypsum powder, and then add gypsum powder to the cement according to the proportion and mix thoroughly. The main purpose of adding gypsum powder is to increase the hardening speed of cement. Delay, convenient for pouring roads and building houses.It is not until now that the cement is truly completed, and Datang's first batch of cement is officially released.

When the last step was completed, Yan Shixin also recorded the last step and said, "Master Pingan, since the cement has been completed, let's transport all the cement to the Governor's Mansion."

"What Master Yan said is exactly what Mr. Deng said. Please record how much cement you have made, and then send people to the Governor's Mansion. Tie Ping, Zhao Hao, you all assist Deng Guan."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The three agreed.

In the Governor's Mansion, Li Tai walked back and forth, and stood up again within a few minutes after sitting down. Seeing that Lu Songjun, who had been sitting all the time, had a headache, he finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "His Royal Highness, please wait patiently. Good luck, they'll be here soon."

"Dengdengdeng~~"

Uncle Gui, the housekeeper, trotted in and said out of breath, "Master, Mr. Ping, Mr. Ping'an are back, and there are several carts, several carts of things coming. Aha, aha..."

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here, it's really great, Your Highness King Wei, we... so fast, Your Highness, slow down, you slow down." Lu Songjun shouted anxiously.

It turned out that as soon as Li Tai heard that Uncle Gui, the housekeeper, said that Wang Ping'an had returned with several trucks of cement, he rushed out immediately. The speed was so fast that it didn't fit Li Tai's slightly obese figure at all. Jun rushed to catch up, fearing that the little ancestor would fall and get hurt, but he couldn't catch up, so he could only shout anxiously from behind.

"My lord, slow down, be careful, be careful..." Yan Shixin, who was helping to move the cement, saw Li Tai running fast, and Yan Shixin, who was calm in the kiln, panicked instantly.

"Go away." Li Tai kicked Yan Shixin away, ran to Wang Ping'an and asked, "Ping'an, are these all cement? How do I use it?"

"That's right, these are cement. When Uncle Lu comes, I'll show you the magic of cement." Wang Pingan said.

"okay."

Soon Lu Songjun came running out of breath, followed by Uncle Gui, the housekeeper who was also out of breath.

"Uncle Lu, be careful. Although you are in your prime, you should not run so fast. Be careful that your feet will hurt tomorrow." Wang Pingan said with concern.

After Lu Songjun glanced at Li Tai resentfully, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's safe, are these just cement?"

"Exactly, let me show you how to use cement now." Wang Pingan rolled up his cuffs and said.

Wang Ping'an began to order the servants of the governor's mansion to carry water for diving, and pour cement for pouring cement. After a while, all the things that were still prepared were ready.

Lu Songjun, Li Tai, and Yan Shixin and others looked at the brown powder poured out by the servants, and they couldn't help being curious. They kept listening to Wang Pingan bragging about how hard cement is, and how bridges and pavements are not afraid of wind. Blowing the rain, today I will finally see the true face of Lushan Mountain. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.

Wang Pingan directed his servants to mix the cement with water into cement slurry, and then pour the cement slurry into the prepared water basin. In order to increase the strength of the concrete, Wang Pingan did not use sand and stone at all this time, and then asked his servants to pour the water into the basin. The grout was applied to the cleaned and prepared wooden boards and directly made into cement boards.

Because the cement board is made of pure cement, there will be no cracks or anything. Now it is enough to let the cement dry quickly, and then the servants brought a few torches and started to bake the cement board.

After about half an hour, the cement board was really dry. Everyone was surprised to find that the brown powdery cement at the beginning turned silver gray after Wang Ping'an handled it.

Yan Shixin recorded every step very carefully. When he saw the dry cement board, he looked at it in disbelief, and unconsciously stretched out his right hand to touch the cement board.

Just when his hand was about to touch the cement board, Li Tai stopped him: "Shi Xin, stop. Don't damage the cement."

Hearing Li Tai's words, Wang Ping'an felt like running wildly like ten thousand mud horses, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Brother Tai, don't be so nervous, this cement board is just a sample, let you confirm the sample I said, now you can soak it in water, use Roasted, even cut with a knife, hammered, etc. to verify this cement board."

"Stop it." Li Tai said reluctantly, picking up the cement board.

But just after saying this, Li Tai's behavior made Wang Ping'an and Lu Songjun's foreheads shoot black lines, but Yan Shixin and his guards were not surprised at all. Tend to?"

All I saw was that Li Tai picked up the cement board and threw it on the ground, and then kept stepping on his feet, making sounds like "I'm big, yo ho, ah...".

I don't know but I thought Bruce Lee was possessed.

"Brother Tai, stop, stop, stop." Wang Pingan stopped Li Tai's urge to continue stepping on the cement slab.

"Why, I enjoy the main dish, Ping An, Mr. Lu, do you want to try it too?" Lu Songjun said excitedly.

"Let's forget about it, let Ping An come." Lu Songjun repeatedly waved his hands and refused: what an international joke, if I step on cement like you, will I still be able to convince the public in the future.

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Stepping on cement is too boring, just use a knife to chop it down."

After speaking, Wang Pingan took a knife from a guard and slashed at Li Tai. Li Tai was so frightened that he ran away quickly, but Li Tai's guards all pulled out their own knives with black faces.
