The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family Chapter 171

  Yan's second son, as he said, got up before dawn and went to plow the land by the river first.

   Except that it took him some time to put the plow on the Three Treasure Stand, the rest is 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 was very energetic.

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

  Master Lu is in his thirties. He is an enthusiastic and out-of-the-box person. He has a good temper with Yan Lao Er, 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 I have 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, except for his son and Two nephews, and one of his cousins.

   Along the way, Master Lu was talking about the house with Yan's second son.

   Those 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, it will be over with a compliment, but if it is not done well, it will take a lifetime.

"Brother Yan, I've thought about what you said last time. It's okay to open the window wider, and 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.

  Master Lu took advantage of his joy and said, "However, what you said about geothermal heating is a bit unreliable to me.

  Although I have confidence in my craftsmanship and 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's second son 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 understood what he was talking about. There may be pits or gaps deep underground, or sand layers. There are many reasons, some will gradually sink, and some will suddenly become big pits .

  So when the ancients built a house, they 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 house 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.

   can only fall back to the next best thing.

   "Alas! 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 to save money..."

   After sending 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 to his surprise, 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, Nanny Rong was at full strength, and almost wiped out the remaining weeds in the field all morning.

  She heard that the house repairer 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.

  The big guy came to Guanzhou and knew that it was cold here, so he wanted to see how the people here built houses, and how it was different from theirs there.

   Didn't even look at it, they all huddled around and waited to help.

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

  Qi Wu was watching someone playing the ink thread with a very serious expression.

   Luo Da Luo Er Luo San is helping to move stones.

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

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

  A group of young men push carts over.

   It was dumped on the ground, all of which were yellow clay dug near the mountain.

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

   hurried over.

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

   "It's very enthusiastic. The people in our village are like this. They are hospitable and hospitable. They 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 is like a mirror in their hearts, how can he attract the whole village to watch, it's just tacit understanding.

   But Master Lu is kind after all, 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 receiving Yan Laoer's words, he said: "Building a house is my family's livelihood, but building stoves, kangs and tiles. We can come and see when we are working. 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 so big! 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 Er Er was about to go over and talk to the big guys.

  Don't want to be pulled by his niece.

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

  Yan Er was stunned.

   Oops, I am a girl, you can tell just by looking at it? How can you!
