(Thank you to book friend Su Zixuan for another 500 yuan reward, thank you book friend Baby Panda for another 100 yuan reward~)

After the excitement, Sun Wufan asked with some concern: "Brother Ning Xian, can this cement be mass-produced?" ”

Ning Xiu said with a smile: "Whether it can be mass-produced depends on the raw materials and processing conditions. Needless to say, raw materials are available on the market, and as for the processing conditions, the biggest constraint is the kiln. Although this kiln is not large, there is no problem in calcining the cement clinker for repairing the palace. ”

Listening to what Ning Xiu said, Sun Wufan finally took a reassuring pill.

"Haha, Brother Ning Xian is really a god. In this case, what are we afraid of delaying the construction period? The palace will be renovated within a month. ”

Sun Wufan stepped forward and patted Ning Xiu's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ning Xian, to be honest, how did you get this method of making cement?" ”

Ning Xiuyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I said that a white-bearded old man gave me a dream when I was dreaming, do you believe it?" ”

Sun Wufan pursed his lips and said, "Sometimes I really wonder if you are a demon. ”

Ning Xiu nodded approvingly and said, "I like the word demon, with a strong taste of envy. ”

Monkey King: "......"

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense here, hurry up and take this first batch of cement to the palace, and tell the workers to start gluing the damaged palace walls and palaces."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the Liao Wangfu together.

......

......

Ning Xiu and Sun Wufan came to the palace with hired workers pushing a small cart full of cement powder.

Wu Hong was directing the workers to glue the bricks with lime mortar, and Ning Xiu stepped forward quickly and coughed: "Ning brought a surprise to Foreman Wu, do you want Foreman Wu to take a look?" ”

Wu Hong turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a cart of gray powder in the cart next to Ning Xiu, and couldn't help but be curious: "Could it be the surprise that Ning Gongzi said?" ”

Ning Xiu nodded and said, "This thing is called cement, and it is a strong binder. The general exterior wall is made of bricks, which is very well bonded with cement and saves time and effort. ”

"How is it better than lime mortar?"

"A world of difference."

Ning Xiu knew that Wu Hong would not believe it easily, so he asked someone to bring a basin of water, pour in some powdered cement, and mix it evenly to form a slurry.

"This section of the collapsed façade hasn't been cemented with lime mortar, has it?"

Ning Xiu waved his hand and nodded.

"yes, the lime mortar can't stick all at once, you have to take your time."

"You dip the cement and stick this exterior wall first. Use a shovel like I did to shovel some slurry cement and spread it evenly between the wall tiles. ”

Ning Xiu came to the outer wall of the collapsed wall, shoveled some cement with a shovel, and patiently started to demonstrate.

The process of applying cement is not very technical, and it is not much different from the workers applying lime mortar.

Soon, they learned how to use cement.

Ning Xiu asked each of them to take a shovel, dip it in cement and begin to glue the exterior wall while building.

"Old Wu, is this thing really as divine as Ning Gongzi said? I think it's about the same as lime mortar. ”

"Just give it a try and you'll find out. But it feels much stickier than lime mortar. ”

"Not to mention that this thing will start working for a while, I just don't know what will happen after I do it."

"If we do it quickly, maybe we can push the deadline forward so that we can pick up the work at the dock in September."

"Yes, finish it early, finish it early, you all do it quickly, don't embarrass Lao Tzu!"

Watching the workers work hard, a smile appeared on the corner of Ning Xiu's mouth.

These batons also hope to finish the project as soon as possible, so that they can rush to the dock in September.

Ning Xiu and their wishes are the same, in this case, they can work together the most, and the efficiency can be maximized.

In the afternoon, workers erected a section of the collapsed façade and carefully and evenly plastered the cement between each brick.

According to Ning Gongzi, it takes three hours for the cement to completely solidify. It's sunset now, so I'll be able to see if I'm here tomorrow morning.

Ning Xiu asked Wu Hong to call all the power sticks together and began to lecture.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the King of Liao has re-stipulated the construction period, and wants the repair work of the palace to be completed within one month. Ning called everyone to instruct everyone to do their best to do a good job in the repair work. Completing it on schedule is good for everyone and Ning. If the construction period is delayed, not only will Ning have to eat and hang, but everyone will also be punished. ”

Ning Xiu is not alarmist.

Although the government outsourced the repair work of the Liao Palace. But in the end, it was a palace project, and there was really a problem, and none of these workers could run.

"If everyone can complete the repair project within a month, Ning will give everyone a tael of silver as a reward, and everyone will say it's good!"

"Yes, of course!"

"Support Ning Gongzi, we will definitely do our best to work!"

"Ning Gongzi is really good to us. Not only did they hire us when we were hungry, but they also paid us handsomely. Now we'll be rewarded with a silver tael for completion. ”

"It's not certain that you can get it, you kid didn't listen to Ning Gongzi, you have to complete it within a month to get the reward."

"So what. With this cement, the efficiency will be greatly improved, and it is not impossible to shorten the construction period to one month. Ning Gongzi is so good to us, of course we have to work hard. Are you afraid that you won't be able to complete it in a month? I've got this money! ”

Ning Xiu saw that everyone was full of enthusiasm, and his hanging heart finally let go.

He has aroused everyone's enthusiasm at this time. Doing projects is most afraid of messing around, and if there are more people messing around, the project will be procrastinated, which is absolutely unacceptable to Ning Xiu.

He pulled Wu Hong aside and instructed: "Find a burlap bag to put the cement in, tie the mouth of the bag tightly when not in use on weekdays, and pay attention to the moisture and must not be drenched in the rain." ”

Wu Hong nodded frequently and answered one by one.

After Ning Xiu finished speaking, Wu Hong scratched his head and said, "Ning Gongzi, there is a sentence that Wu doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Foreman Wu, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wu Hong sighed with emotion: "This cement is so powerful, where can I buy it?" ”

Ning Xiu coughed and said, "This cement was specially prepared by Ning, and it can't be bought on the market." ”

"Ah, the cost of raw materials must be very high, Ning Gongzi doesn't have to fight so hard in order to catch up with the construction period, right?"

"This Wu foreman doesn't have to worry about it. Ning has Ning's considerations, and as long as Foreman Wu urges the brothers to complete the project as soon as possible, it is the greatest support for Ning. ”

The cost of cement is not expensive, but Ning Xiu does not intend to be thorough with Wu Hong. This thing is now only made by Ning Xiu, it belongs to the market monopoly, and the pricing is completely up to Ning Xiu. If the price of raw materials is revealed, wouldn't Ning Xiu be passive.

Wu Hong nodded frequently. Ning Gongzi is beating him, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, look at his mouth again, isn't it?
