The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 171 The house builder enters the arena

As he said, Yan Laoer got up before dawn and went to plow the field by the river first.

Except that it took him some time to put the plow on the Three Treasure Stand, the rest was simply galloping speed.

He had to trot with one deep foot and one shallow foot to keep up with Sanbao, which was the result of Sanbao waiting for him.

After this run, he who was still dazed and staring was refreshed.

After that, I drove the ox cart to a place called Luwang Village to pick up people.

Master Lu is in his thirties. He is an enthusiastic and outgoing person. He has a good temper with Yan Laoer, so he hires out all the work he can do.

At first, what the two met and talked about was simply building a house...

Going to the master’s house to repair the house, it’s not suitable to run back and forth far away, so he has to live there. Master Lu also knows what’s going on in Yan’s house, so he has prepared everything and brought a lot of people with him, except for his son and Two nephews, and one of his cousins.

Along the way, Master Lu was talking about the house with Yan Laoer.

People in their line of work can't just work blindly, they have to chat with the owner, talk deeply, and know what kind of house they want.

If the house is done well, people will praise it and it will be over. If it is not done well, it will be something that will be talked about for a lifetime.

"Brother Yan, I've thought about what you said last time. It's okay to open the windows a little wider. I'll make the windows tighter for you. If the wind is still getting through, you can hang a cotton curtain to block it." Master Lu said to Yan The big windows requested by the second child are also quite understandable. After all, they are from the south, and they have not seen the coldness of our Guanzhou.

"Haha, okay! Whether it's winter or summer, you have to open the windows to let the air out, or you won't get bored." Yan Laoer was very happy when he heard that there were big windows.

Taking advantage of his joy, Master Lu said again: "However, what you said about doing geothermal heat is a bit unreliable to me.

Although I have confidence in my workmanship and I have never had any problems with the kang, but after a long time, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems. It is not uncommon for broken bricks to block the flue.

In case there is something wrong, if it is a kang, take it apart to have a look and then repair it again, how will the house be removed? Forget it, I'll build you a fluted wall, one wall will heat the two houses, you can make enough firewood, and then two kangs will do. "

Yan Laoer is in a hurry, this is not going to work, geothermal heat is the top priority.

"Why didn't you win, Brother Lu? Tell me what's wrong with it, let's study it together."

"Didn't you say that, I'm afraid there will be something wrong with it after a long time." Master Lu explained to him helplessly: "If this is a heated kang, if there is something wrong, we will take it apart and repair it, but according to your idea, it is to repair a big one under the foot. The kang, the house is built on top of it, if something goes wrong, the ground cannot be stepped on, and the house will collapse, I thought and thought, it really can't."

"Also, I have learned a lot about repairing houses for others these years. No matter how flat the ground is when you build a house, it may gradually sink in when you live in it. Think about it, your geothermal It's hollow, and it would be scary if it were also sunken."

Yan Laoer understands what he is talking about. It may be that there are pits or gaps deep underground, or it may be sand layers. There are many reasons, some will gradually sink, and some will suddenly become big pits .

Therefore, when building a house in ancient times, people also smashed the foundation, rammed and rammed it with stones.

He thought about it carefully and figured out one thing.

What blocks the geothermal heat in his home is not technology, but reinforced concrete.

The principles of geothermal heat and heated kang are the same, but without a solid support, it is impossible to make the large heated kang he wants.

We can only settle for the next best thing.

"Oh! The wall of fire is the wall of fire."

"Hey, that's right!

And the picture you drew for me is eight rooms. Didn’t you say that you ordered bricks for six rooms? It’s not close to counting the stone materials. You have to order more. The firewall uses red bricks, saving money..."

After delivering the people, Yan Er went to the quarry non-stop to pull two carts of stone.

When he came back, Master Lu was already ramming the ground.

But what puzzled him was that his house was full of people.

Unloading the stone, Yan Laoer grabbed his daughter and asked.

"What's the situation?"

Yan Yu came back for a while, when they went to the field today, Aunt Rong was on full fire, and almost wiped out the remaining weeds in the field all morning.

She heard that the person repairing the house had arrived, so she ran back to have a look.

Yan Yu lowered her voice and said, "They are all here to study."

Yan Laoer understood in seconds.

When the big guys came to Guanzhou, they knew it was cold here, and wanted to see how the people here built their houses, and how it was different from theirs there.

They didn't bother to watch, they all crowded around and waited to help.

Look, it is Qi Da and Qi Si who are ramming the ground now. The two of them tied a particularly large stone and smashed the ground.

Qi Wu was watching someone playing the ink thread, with a serious expression on his face.

Luo Daluo Erluo San is helping to move the stone.

Hu Er is the most chicken thief, he rushes to help others stir the plaster.

Second Yan is still wondering where Master Lu's son and nephew are.

A group of lads push carts over.

Dumped on the ground, it is all yellow clay dug near the mountain.

When Master Lu saw him coming back, it was like seeing a savior.

Hastily ran over.

"Brother Yan, you are back, you...people from your village..."

"It's very enthusiastic. People in our village are like this. They are hospitable and hate work. When they see work, they want to do it. Hahahaha!" Yan Laoer said this deliberately.

Master Lu said with a bitter face: "Brother Yan, let me tell you the truth, my plaster has a formula, even if they have learned how to plaster, without a formula, the bricks will not stick well."

Everyone's heart is like a mirror, how can he attract the whole village to watch, it's just a tacit understanding.

But Master Lu is kind in the end, he is afraid that these people will mess up by themselves, the house will not be built solidly, and there will be problems again.

"Brother Lu, you are thinking too much. There are not many brick houses in our village that can be built. It costs dozens of taels of silver. Why don't you find a good craftsman to help you build them? They just want to see your house in Guanzhou. How is the house different from ours? You can still afford an adobe house in the future, and if you put your heart into your stomach, you won’t be able to steal your job.”

Master Lu is also open-minded. After getting Yan Laoer's words, he said: "Building a house is my family's livelihood, but it is building stoves, kangs and tiles. We can come and see when we are doing work. In the future, we have a small problem. You don’t need to ask outsiders, you can do it yourself.”

Yan Lao Er sincerely praised: "Brother Lu is very generous! Then I will tell them, we should go underground, don't just hang around to waste time."

Wait for Master Lu to go back and continue working.

Yan Laoer was about to go over and talk to the big guy.

He didn't want to be pulled by his niece.

Seeing his daughter-in-law say mysteriously: "Father, I know the plaster recipe at home."

Second Yan was stunned.

Hey, I'm a girl, you can tell by just looking at it? How can you!

Yes, the house checked the information again~

It is not difficult to find soil cement, it is quite strong~

I have a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, uh, well, let’s be honest, it’s not a little bit, it’s a big piece~

Building infrastructure is really inseparable from cement, so let’s start with cement~

PS: I asked Yan Yu why he knew about it, I explained it at the very beginning, our Dabao is a guy who has read countless web articles~(*^▽^*)

And PS: Book tomorrow’s guaranteed monthly pass~ Dear friends, please vote for me~ The house has given up resistance~

Tickets come, more to come! (may be late too)

The next update should be at night, I have to sleep for a while, see you in the next chapter~(`)
