416 The closer you get, the farther you go
Xu Wen woke up this time and arrived at the Banmen World, and Qiuqiu didn't come with him.
Before he came, he didn't receive any tasks, so it can be said that he has no clue to go back.
When he first came here, he might have panicked a little and was afraid of being left here.
But now, after shuttling back and forth so many times, and staying here for so long, he still has a lot of different certainty in his heart.
First, he gradually adapted and accepted this side of life, and second, he began to make some changes.
At first it was a mission, then it was Qiuqiu, and by now, he could sense something himself.
At noon they stopped to rest, Xu Wen found a random place to sit down, and Dilling immediately came over and asked him some questions.
It was he who had the class last night, and he was teaching geometry.
Up to now, only he can teach this kind of course, and even Yan Ji is not as good as him after discussion.
Last night, several people in Jingying Mansion also listened attentively. As long as they get rid of their inherent prejudices, they will soon be able to discover the value of what Xu Wen taught, not to mention that Xu Wen and these novices of the Western Desert Team have already given them a live teaching in the Dragon God Temple!
After Xu Wen answered Di Lin's question, Xu San handed over a cup of hot tea, he thanked him, held the tea in his hand, his eyelashes drooped, and began to outline Xu Zhai in his mind.
Of course, he was most impressed by the Four Seasons Hall, but as time went on, he became more and more aware of the craft and architecture, and saw more and more things.
He saw the flower window in front of the green plantain, twisting and turning, turning like water and clouds.
Now that he knows everything about woodwork, he knows more and more about what kind of skill this kind of skill is.
He thought about it for a long time, and was sure that even at his current level, he would not be able to complete such a window.
That feeling of being at your fingertips and flowing around is something that can only be completed after you have reached the highest level of aesthetics and skill at the same time.
Although Xu Wen won the first place in the apprenticeship test by carpentry, his skills are far from the point of perfection, and in terms of aesthetics, he still needs to be further cultivated.
He saw the tiles hanging from the eaves above the flowered window.
The pattern of each tile is different, incomplete, but delicate and ingenious. Standing up is like a treasure that can be played with in the hand, and the connection is like a flowing scroll, which is addictive.
Qin Lianying mentioned a word in the codex: Crazy stone.
Obsessed with stones, obsessed with stones, and devoting oneself to this, in the end, we can reach the point of doing whatever you want, and integrate everything in the world into the small bricks and stones in your hands.
Crazy Stone is the highest level that a plasterer can achieve, and in the entire Great Zhou, he is also an unattainable figure.
But Xu Zhai's casual ordinary tile is a work that can only be completed by an idiot.
He saw the entire Xu Mansion.
At first glance, it looks like a typical Gangnam style courtyard garden, but on closer inspection, it is not.
It's small and delicate, but it's chic and easy-going, and it's a little clumsy when you look closely.
It is a heaven and earth, and at the same time it is a vast world.
Xu Zhai, whether in whole or in part, has achieved an extreme. It is precisely because of this that Xu Wen did not understand and was not interested in ancient buildings at that time, and the overall atmosphere of Xu Mansion was the same as that of a haunted house, he was still attracted by it and stopped at the most critical time.
When you think about it, it's an amazing feeling. Who and under what circumstances could such a house be built, and what would it be like when it was completely restored to its original appearance?
Suddenly, the imaginary scenes became real, and he came to the high place of the Xu Mansion and took in everything about it. But as time passed, the distance between him and it did not close, but became farther and farther away.
This is his true feeling, the more he understands, the more he does not understand.
The more he studied and refined his skills, the more he felt that the restoration of Xu's house was more difficult than he imagined.
But strangely, he did not lose faith because of this. His gaze slowly swept over every part of the Xu Mansion, taking in everything about it, and his mood rose inch by inch.
He wants to fix it, and he's spent his whole life trying to fix him!
The feeling of weightlessness suddenly came, and Xu Wen's eyes were dark, and when he settled down, he had already gone from the unobstructed mountain peak overhead, directly shining by the winter sun, to the dark room.
He lay on the bed of red sandalwood and slowly opened his eyes.
With a "meow", Qiuqiu stepped lightly on the bed board, jumped on the bed, and stepped lightly on his shoulder.
Xu Wen put one hand around it and rubbed its head hair, and Qiuqiu rubbed it on his palm affectionately.
He returned to the Xu Mansion.
..................
Cicadas chirp, and the world is still in the hot summer.
One moment I was still on the top of the mountain and my face was blown by the cold wind, and the next moment my body was densely wrapped in steaming heat, which was really a bit strange.
Xu Wen sat on a piece of bluestone at the door of Xu's house, holding a mobile phone in one hand and a burrito full of meat in the other, eating with a mouth full of oil.
I have been on the road for half a month in the Banmen World, and I have been eating dry food almost every day, and I haven't smelled the smell of meat a few times, even Xu Wen is a little greedy.
Fortunately, it was him, Xu San and Lin Xie who went to Yangning Village that time, and when they heard that the main family was killing pigs and holding a banquet, most of them would hug Luo Da's thigh and cry and beg to wait for dinner before leaving.
Xu Wen is now the time to indulge in craftsmanship and let go of a lot of things for this, but since he has returned to this world, it is better to eat something good, and there is no need to abuse himself.
He was looking up information on cement and sanhetu on his mobile phone.
There isn't a lot of content on the phone, but there are still some clues that can be seen.
The ancient Eastern and Western clays were different, but they were different from modern cement.
The prototype of truly modern cement came from the fifties of the seventeenth century, and then gradually developed and mass-produced, becoming a must-have for modern engineering.
Modern cement in China first appeared at the end of the eighteenth century, that is, during the Qing Dynasty, when the cement was called "fine soil", and later changed its name to ash.
As can also be seen from the name, modern cement is indeed a foreign product.
Ash is actually inferior to the original Sanhe soil in terms of adhesion, firmness, durability, etc., but it is cheap, can be mass-produced, and is suitable for more occasions, so it has gradually become the mainstream of engineering mud and stone binders.
Until now, cement properties have been continuously improved, and there are many varieties suitable for special conditions, but the most commonly used is still Portland cement.
The chemical composition and calcination method of Portland cement can be found everywhere, and even the style and design of the cement kiln are easy to find. According to the gourd, as long as there is enough time and resources, he can also burn qualified cement.
Looking at it, Xu Wen breathed a long sigh of relief and put down his phone.
He wiped the oil off the water, stood up and threw the paper towel into the trash along with the wrapping paper of the burrito.
The river flowed slowly, and the boatman, holding a small boat, creaked past him and sailed to the white-walled green willows not far away.
Xu Wen looked at the back of the boatman wearing a straw hat and hesitated.
Do you really want to bring this recipe to that world?
