Chapter 135: Ramming
Wang Changsuo was not happy: The white-haired grandmother was so powerful that a wooden cart was loaded with 2,000 bricks! Hurry up and ask his wife Ma Huien to burn incense and kowtow to the plum house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Through this incident, Wang Changsuo saw that the white-haired grandmother really helped the family, and she was more confident in building a house.
Leaving the work of threed foil to the women and the old man, he took a brother and a brother to dig the trees on the foundation of the house, pick up bricks, and clean the ground. Once the location of the foundation was decided, the excavation began.
Foundation refers to the stratum that is directly affected by the load of the house. The foundation is not an integral part of the building, but it plays a very important role in ensuring the durability of the building. It is the most important preparation before building a house.
Digging the foundation is hard work. Especially when digging deep, you have to throw dirt upwards with great force.
At this time, Wang Da's belly billet had been beaten, and Lamei ended his supply. There are still two pots of wotou steamed a day, and the person who digs the foundation is enough, and the others have one at a time.
There is no way, although there is a lot of food, there is not much. Fortunately, she was able to travel between two lifetimes, and she believed that she would always find a way to get food.
After the foundation is dug, it should be tamped.
Ramming is to use tamping to smash the foundation.
"Ramming" is a thick piece of solid wood, nailed with a thick layer of iron plate at the bottom, plus a handle around it, at the root of the handle, nail 4 iron rings, tie eight ropes, the whole weight is more than 100 catties.
Four to ten people pull the rope and throw it high, and then one person grabs the handle on the foundation and smashes it down until it is solid.
The person who pulls the rope is called "tampering". The person who stands on the foundation and grabs the handle is called "ramming".
Tamping is a hard work, not only to call people, but also to take care of food. Especially in the famine years when there is not enough to eat, it is even more important to manage the rice.
"How many people shall we call?" asked Lamei. Knowing the number of people is good to prepare food.
Wang Changsuo: "Eight." There needs to be someone to replace in the middle, and more people are needed. At this time, people can't eat enough, they don't have the strength, and many people are still accurate. I have to take care of my meals from the morning. Three meals a day. The bowl of gruel on the team couldn't be tamped. ”
Lamei: "The white-haired grandmother said to give fifty catties of cornmeal, do you see enough?"
Wang Changsuo calculated, and asked eight people plus four grandfathers in the family, one person is four catties: "Rich and rich, I can't eat clearly." ”
Lamei: "This is hard work, don't you call Wang Da Belly?"
"That big belly, we really can't afford it. Ma Huien said with a frown.
Lamei said in her heart: I didn't tell you about the blank, if I did, I wouldn't be distressed!
Wang Changsuo pondered for a long time and said: "In the past, people built houses and houses, and he was indispensable every time. Even if you don't scream, you can go over. In order to have a full meal.
People have formed a habit of calling him as long as they tamp and pull out the frame. We are on a team, and we are a royal family, so it is not inappropriate to call it. ”
Ma Huien: "There is no food now, and it is not easy for the white-haired grandmother to give some, if you want to call him, you can pout and walk away with three stops." ”
Wang Changsuo: "You can't just take that game to watch him. That's to win, desperately stuffing it into the stomach. Usually, they eat three or four times more than people. For example, if we eat three or four per person, it is enough for him to have a dozen. I can't eat ten catties of grain a day. Why bother offending people!"
Ma Huien: "Just ramming? There will be a lot of work in the future, and it will take three or four days just to pull out the frame." The ramming is screaming, and the frame is not screaming, which is even worse. It's better not to call at first. ”
Wang Changsuo: "Don't just watch him eat, he still works." When the gable is built, there is no way for him to throw the blank. Tight out of half a day's work, not better than anything. ”
Seeing that her parents were arguing about this matter, Lamei hurriedly said: "Now that the food is tight, the godmother is right." In this way, if it is called Wang Da Belly, I will tell the white-haired grandmother to ask her to give more and add Wang Da Duo's amount of food. Godmother, look, is this okay?"
Ma Huien: "If you can ask for more, just call it." I'm not for anything else, I'm afraid he won't have enough to eat. I have nowhere to go, and I will be blind. ”
Lamei: "That's it, call him." It's just that this time the white-haired grandmother gave cornmeal, not a nest, and there was no pot at home, so she had to go to the canteen to steam.
"Godfather, godmother, you can only go and tell the captain about this. Also, she also wanted to give two catties of pork, a bundle of spinach, and spinach soup at noon. ”
Wang Changsuo: "I'll go and say." That's no problem. When it first became a canteen, there was a saying that whoever had a big event could borrow the pot stove in the canteen. Just because the people had no food, they went there to cook wild vegetables. It's the same reason as our steamed dry food. ”
Immediately, Lamei took out fifty catties of processed cornmeal, two catties of pork and a large bundle of spinach that she had prepared in her previous life.
On the first night of tamping, Ma Huien and Jing Huangai, with the help of Wang Mantou, steamed five baskets and three baskets.
Lamei bought two catties of spiced radish shredded pickles and gave people breakfast.
Eight people were called, all of whom were young adults on the eleventh team.
People have been emptying their intestines for many days, and when they first open them to eat, they are all pure and golden nests, and they all gobble up what they eat. There are those who eat three, those who eat four, and those who eat five.
Wang Da's belly was not confined either, he picked up a small grate, turned it into two bowls of porridge, and ate it with relish.
When everyone is full of food and drink, the instinct of the body is stimulated, and they are happy like little tigers, you hit me, I punch you, and some even wrestle each other's wrists, and there is no shadow of the great famine at all.
In fact, their physical fitness is very good, but they can't eat enough, and they are hungry and have no strength. Once the energy is replenished, the exuberant vitality returns to their body.
Wang Da Belly had just finished beating the billet, and his body was not very weak. In addition, I got up early and had a full meal, and my spirit came up, and I took the initiative to take on the role of ramming.
The other seven, plus Wang Changzhu, were responsible for pulling the rope and ramming.
After everything was ready, Wang Da's belly jumped into the base groove, grabbed the handle of the wooden handle on the ramming with both hands, and sang in a long note: "Pull up a rammer!"
The others shouted, "Yo yo hi hi yo ho
At the same time, work hard together, raise the rammer, and then put it down abruptly and smoothly.
Wang Da Belly sang again: "Comrades, work hard!"
Everyone responded: "Work hard!
Wang Da belly: "The corners and edges are going to be hit!"
Everyone: "I'm going to hit it, yo ho hi hi!"
Wang Dayu: "The people next to him,"
Everyone: "Yo ho ho hi hi!"
Wang Daxue: "Stand up!"
Everyone: "Stand up, yo ho hi hi!"
Wang Dajiao: "Be careful of smashing your feet!"
Everyone: "Got it, yo ho ho hi hi!"
Wang Da belly: "Lift it high, put it steadily!"
Everyone: "Put it steadily, yo ho hi hi!, yo ho hi hi!"
In the song, the thick rammer can lift more than a meter high and smash down a pit, low and with the sound of an urn.
