A lot of stones were needed to build the causeway, but fortunately, a lot of stones were dug up when the wasteland was reclaimed, and a lot of stones could be picked up by the river, so there was no shortage of stones for the time being.

Wang Fu is still staring at the matter of wasteland reclamation, while Li Xin and Yin Liuchen are waiting for the firing of cement, if the firing is successful, then the construction of the causeway can also begin.

Although the days of waiting are leisurely, they are also anxious, after all, for the first time, no one knows if they can succeed.

Li Xin sat on the stone by the river, looking at the magnificent riverside. The river is different from the sea, the sea is so endless, the clear water is clear, the waves are not alarming, and you can't see the inner turbulence. The river is different, it is always flowing, I can hear the light sound of the flow, and I always feel that the river is really alive.

Looking at the river quietly like this, it actually feels very good. In her previous life, she had never lived by the river, but she had seen the Yangtze River from afar, and now she can enjoy such a scenery here, which is really good.

If you move here in the future, you should like it if you want to come to Wenbo. If you plant some reeds and the breeze blows, the scenery should be even more beautiful. When the reed flowers fly, it should also be very beautiful, the reed flowers are flying all over the sky, and the smoke is everywhere, which seems to be very good.

"Miss Xin Yao is here!" A voice sounded above his head, and Li Xin looked up, but it turned out to be Yin Liuchen.

"The Dust Boy is here!" She smiled slightly, and her eyes looked at the river again. When the sun shines on the water, it is sparkling gold, as if there are golden fish swimming in the water.

"The view is really nice." Yin Liuchen said and found a cleaner stone next to Li Xin and sat down. "Miss Xin Yao is worried that the cement firing will not be successful?"

"I'm a little worried! We're still waiting to start work! So it's better to be faster over there. You can't keep dragging it out like this. Li Xin sighed. There was also a unique way to build a levee in this era, but she was still a little worried that the long embankment built that way would not be reliable enough.

So now it's better to wait and see if the cement can be fired successfully. If the first firing is not successful, you can also find some marl to fire first, and then study other methods slowly. If that doesn't work, the old-fashioned way of building the causeway is the only option.

"Miss Xin Yao has not always been very confident, why is it that you have no bottom now! Hurry up anyway! Wait a little longer, and then I'll see if it's successful. ”

"That's all it takes, but now it's just waiting."

The next day, the Luo family asked Li Xin, a person from the same village, to bring a message, saying that she had let the fired things out of the kiln, and I didn't know how to do it, so let her go and see if it was what she wanted. Hearing the news, Li Xin couldn't tell for a while whether he was excited or a little worried, in short, he was in a very strange mood.

However, she still wanted to go over and have a look sooner, so she asked Zhu Yong to set up the carriage and go out with Yin Liuchen. Yin Liuchen's guards also have two people who have been riding horses to follow, and those guards are really dutiful, Yin Liuchen follows almost everywhere he goes. Yin Liuchen may have gotten used to it, but he didn't feel anything.

Li Xin was still a little unaccustomed to it when he should have started, but after watching it for a few more days, it was like that. If it's a big deal, use it as a background board and don't pay attention to it, because under normal circumstances, those guards are like shadows, and they don't speak.

When you follow quietly, it's easy to overlook their existence.

Soon I arrived at Yangliu Village, Yangliu Village is the village from which Luo Peng's family came from, and it is not very far from the wasteland, so it didn't take much time to enter Yangliu Village in the carriage.

Yangliu Village really lives up to this name, you can see a lot of willow trees planted at the entrance of the village from a distance, weeping willows are clinging, and the long willows hanging down are swaying lightly with the wind, like a swinging swing, and like the evergreen silk of a beauty. And when you enter the village, you can see willow trees draped everywhere, which is very beautiful.

Although the willow trees are no longer so green at this time, with some withered yellow color, they can still feel the green shade everywhere. Some tall willow trees also have stone tables and stone benches under them, which are very good to cool off in summer, and the willows can cast a large area of green shade to block the scorching sun.

There are not only willow trees in Yangliu Village, but also a lot of fruit trees, peach trees, pear trees and so on, and almost every household has fruit trees. It seems that this village really likes to plant trees!

Li Xin opened the curtain of the car and observed the village carefully, it is really beautiful, and it should be even more beautiful at the beginning of spring.

"It's really rare to have such a beautiful village." Yin Liuchen also sighed.

After entering the village, he soon arrived at the door of Luo Peng's house. In fact, the kiln where the Luo family burns lime is not at home, nor at the door of the house, but at the foot of a mountain a little far from home. At the base of the mountain, it's easy to find firewood and pine needles.

Li Xin also came to Luo's house to see if Luo Peng was at home, if he was not at home, he would naturally have to go to the foot of the mountain to find it.

After the carriage stopped, Li Xin and Yin Liuchen got out of the car. Yin Liuchen's guards had already knocked on the door first, and after knocking twice, someone inside answered, and then quickly opened the door. It was Luo Peng's mother who came to open the door, she was not very old, she looked tough, she was dressed very neatly, and she was an old woman who could give people a good impression.

"I'm looking for Brother Luo Peng, is he at home?" Li Xin stepped forward with a smile and asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! Miss Li, come in. The old woman smiled and beckoned Li Xin and his party to enter the door.

"Auntie remembers me?" Li Xin smiled and talked. In fact, at her age, when she sees an old woman of this age, she can call her grandma. It's just that her real mental age is not so young, and it is really a little impossible to call someone of such age a grandmother.

The age of the people here who became biological children is relatively young, so even if she has a son as old as Luo Peng, this woman is not very old. That is, he works all day, and he looks a little old-fashioned that doesn't match his age.

"Remember, such a beautiful girl, it's unforgettable!" The woman smiled heartily.

Let Li Xin and the others enter the house and sit down, and the woman went to call Luo Peng. Luo Peng has been staring at the kiln, and he doesn't dare to close his eyes casually, so he is very tired. When the things that should be fired in the kiln were fired, I was sleepy, so I fell asleep.

After a while, Luo Peng also came over, it seemed that he had washed up, but he didn't have that sleepy look. However, Li Xin still carefully found that there were some clear shadows under his eyes, and there were slight bloodshots in his eyes, which seemed to be really tired.

Luo Peng walked in, still holding a wooden basin in his hand, and Li Xin saw the contents of the wooden basin when he got closer. A large piece looks like freshly fired lime, but the color is wrong. The lime is white when fired, not something that is somewhat grayish-brown.

"This is what Miss Li asked to burn, Miss Li can see if it is feasible?" As soon as Luo Peng put the wooden basin on the place, he beckoned Li Xin to look.

Li Xin also squatted down and looked at the items in the wooden basin with his hands. The firing thing is not too hard, and some of it will fall apart when you poke it. "I can't say clearly, it's better to grind this thing and then take a look!" Li Xin asked Luo Peng to find what he needed, and then broke the things in the wooden basin.

It quickly became finely crumbled without much grinding, and Li Xin shortened the thing out of the door. I poured some on the ground, then poured some water, stirred it with a stick, and then put it on the spot. After that, I waited quietly to see if it really solidified quickly.

It didn't take long for it to really solidify, Li Xin poked it with a wooden stick, it couldn't move, it was still very hard.

At this moment, Li Xin's heart suddenly swelled with joy. It seems that it has really been done, the cement has been successfully fired, so it's great, it's really good. The previous worries are gone, but I didn't expect Luo Peng to be really a good player! It was so good to be able to fire it for the first time.

Luo Peng also poked, he really couldn't poke it, this really felt amazing, "I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful!" "It's totally incredible. Not only is it hard, but it also condenses so quickly, which is indeed somewhat amazing. I washed it with water again, but there was no change.

"So, isn't this thing already done?" Yin Liuchen asked with a smile.

"Yes! It seems that it has really happened! A smile slowly climbed up Li Xin's cheeks, and then a smile appeared on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes. In this way, as long as the cement can be supplied, the construction of the embankment can begin. "It's finally done."

"Miss Li is satisfied." Luo Peng was also a little excited, but he didn't expect that it was the first time he was working on this thing, and he was really tinkering with it.

"Thank you so much this time, your craftsmanship is very good, I still think I'm afraid I'll have to test a few more times to make it! Now that it's done, you can help me burn this thing a lot! I want a lot of money, and it's better if you find more suitable people to help. ”

"By the way, some of the marls that Miss Li talked about earlier have already been found. What is Miss Li going to do with? Luo Peng patted his head and said, it seems that he just remembered it.

"It's also used to burn cement, and since you have marl, then you can help me use marl to fire a kiln! I'd also like to see which one has better performance. ”

"Then I'll give it a try first, and then let Miss Li come over and take a look when it's done." Luo Peng agreed with a smile. R1152
