Chapter 66: Porteering
In the afternoon, Zhang Daoran stood at the wharf with Li Daniu, and a small freighter slowly approached the wharf.
"The Taoist ......"
Li Kuan stepped down from the freighter, greeted him and asked, "They are only responsible for transporting them to the ground, not for transporting them up the mountain, where are these building materials unloaded?"
"Unload the dock and ......"
Zhang Daoran and Li Daniu left the wharf, the freighter crane first unloaded the floor slab, and then several middle-aged men on the freighter unloaded the hollow bricks, followed by cement, sand and gravel......
"Dao Chief, a total of 1,466 yuan, 1,450 yuan for a fraction. ”
All the building materials have been unloaded, and the person in charge of driving the ship has already settled the accounts. greatly exceeded Zhang Daoran's expectations, a full 300 yuan more.
Zhang Daoran frowned, and the middle-aged man explained: "Three hundred and six hollow bricks, two hundred and six cement, and two hundred and four floor slabs, we are responsible for transporting these three things." Sand and stones, we exempted the transportation fee, and helped the Taoist to bring it from other places, and the extra three hundred were the hard-earned money of these three people......"
"The sand and pebbles were bought from somewhere else with their help......"
Li Kuan was afraid that Zhang Daoran would misunderstand, so he hurriedly added.
These building materials were delivered to the door, and the thirty miles of waterway did not overcount the freight, and the extra budget of 300 yuan, Zhang Daoran reluctantly accepted it, counted 1,450 yuan and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Dao Chief, I'll go back with the freighter. With so many building materials, transporting them up the mountain is not an easy task, do you want to help find a few people?"
The piles of building materials were transported to the top of the 300-meter-high mountain, and Li Kuan was also worried about Zhang Daoran. With so many things, ten people and eight people can't all be transported to the top of the mountain in a day. In particular, the three floor slabs are at least five or six hundred pounds each......
"Poor Dao figure it out by himself, let's go back......"
Li Kuan boarded the freighter with doubts, and the freighter slowly left the dock, Li Kuan muttered: "Is it possible for the Dao Commander to know how to use spells?
Zhang Daoran can't do this kind of spell, there are five ghost handling techniques in the Dao technique, and you can use the Dao method to drive ghosts and gods. This is a real immortal technique, and Zhang Daoran has not received this inheritance at present.
"Dao Chief, there are so many things, are we going to move them up?"
Li Da Niu was tall and powerful, and he lifted a hollow brick and said, "It's not too heavy, why did Uncle Kuan say that he wanted to find someone to help?"
A hollow brick weighs almost forty pounds, and a bag of cement also weighs a hundred pounds. The sand and gravel together weigh two tons, not to mention the weight of the floor slab, five or six catties for one floor slab......
If it is transported to the mountain by manpower, ten people may not be able to transport it in one day. The island in the middle of the lake is more than 300 meters high, which is the vertical height. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are at least a thousand meters of steps, and it takes more than half an hour to walk quickly in a single trip......
After all, manpower is limited, and if you transport one trip, I am afraid that you will not have the strength to transport the second trip.
Li Daniu has a lot of strength, and he didn't feel heavy when he lifted the two hollow bricks, which belonged to explosive power. Transporting these building materials up the mountain requires endurance, not a burst of strength in an instant.
"If you don't sink too much, you can carry two pieces up the mountain......"
Too lazy to talk to Li Daniu, Zhang Daoran took the lead in going up the mountain empty-handed.
"The Taoist looks down on me, don't say two pieces, I can lift four pieces at a time......"
Li Daniu's palm was very large, and he really lifted two pieces with one hand and followed behind Zhang Daoran.
......
Zhang Daoran soon arrived at the top of the mountain, washed vegetables and cooked, the sky had all darkened, and dinner had been ready.
Li Daniu hasn't come back yet......
Zhang Daoran ate dinner alone and went to the temple to study the Taoist scriptures, and after a full hour, Li Daniu still didn't come back......
"Could something have happened?"
Zhang Daoran went down the mountain with some anxiety, Li Daniu had never done strength work after all, and his strength was very strong but his endurance was limited. I used to play the trumpet with the music team, looking tall and big, and I was very strong, if I want to work, I am afraid that he is not as good as a middle-aged man who works all year round.
If you come halfway up the mountain, your feet will be weak and you will roll down the mountain, but it is not a joke.
"The Taoist ......"
After walking less than 100 meters, when he reached the corner, Zhang Daoran saw Li Daniu sitting on a hollow brick, sweating like rain and panting like a cow.
"Let's go up and eat......"
Easily lifted the four hollow bricks, and in Li Daniu's surprised gaze, Zhang Daoran walked towards the mountain easily.
"Dao Chief, I can't walk......
Li Daniu felt that his legs were filled with lead at this time, and he couldn't take a step. His arms were numb, and he had no strength to lift his arms.
"If you can't walk, rest here, and come up again when you have the strength. It's a pity that the braised carp made by the poor road is probably going to be cold. ”
Zhang Daoran walked very fast, and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
"Dao Chief, leave me some..."
Li Daniu stood up with difficulty, grabbed the steps in front of him with both hands, and climbed up with both hands and feet. Zhang Daoran put the hollow brick behind the Taoist temple, and Li Daniu also went up the mountain, sitting in front of the stone table, holding chopsticks and shaking his hand to eat nonsense.
Li Daniu had eaten, washed the dishes and chopsticks with difficulty, returned to his room and fell asleep, he was not in the mood to blow the trumpet, and after a while, the snoring was like thunder.
"This kind of work, that's so easy to do?"
Zhang Daoran went down the mountain alone, and soon arrived at the wharf, and with a move of his mind, the building materials at the wharf became less and less, but for a few minutes, there was not a single grain of sand left. Zhang Daoran's mind is too weak to send all these building materials into the gray space at once. Rao is so, and this method also saves I don't know how much manpower and material resources.
At the top of the mountain, the building materials were released from the gray space one by one, and Zhang Daoran went back to sleep.
The next day, Zhang Daoran was absorbing purple qi from the east, and there was a noise in front of the Taoist temple, as well as the familiar voice of a woman.
Li Daniu hadn't gotten up yet, and Zhang Daoran hadn't gotten up, and when he absorbed the last wisp of purple qi from the east, he slowly opened his eyes, and there were already five more people in the courtyard.
"The Taoist ......"
Hu Lan and Widow Zhang also went up the mountain, saw Zhang Daoran open his eyes, and said hello: "Let's go up the mountain to help cook, by the way, where is the big cow?"
"Haven't gotten up yet......"
Zhang Daoran pointed to the room where Da Niu slept.
"This kid, let him go up the mountain to wait for the Taoist, and he actually slept lazy?"
Widow Zhang snorted and walked towards Li Daniu's room.
"Oh, mother, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts,
Li Daniu's wail came from the room, and Widow Zhang didn't give up: "I haven't touched you yet, what does it hurt?"
"Mother, I have pain all over my body......"
"I see you're too lazy, don't you get up quickly......"
Everyone smiled faintly, and Hu Lan's attention was also diverted from Da Niu's room, and hurriedly introduced the three middle-aged men: "These three are here to help the Taoist build a bathroom, this is to pass the message, pass the word, pass the victory, if the Taoist chief has any instructions, just tell them when the time comes." ”
"Dao Chief, didn't you say that the building materials should have arrived yesterday afternoon, why aren't they on the dock?"
