Chapter 106: A New Type of Fat Powder?
The third method is to build with rammed earth, which is also a building material often used by the ancients, which is a solid material formed by mixing red clay and coarse sand, lime blocks and then pressing by gravity. Although there were no bricks at the time, the ancients thought of mixing stone with other earthy materials to invent another strong material.
The ancients took materials from the objects around them, and melted the earth and wood perfectly, so that the building has its own soul.
"Lao Li, what if you find a material with a stronger binder? I wonder if you can be sure that you can build it according to the drawings? Gu Bei asked tentatively.
"The villain has to look at it before he can answer." Li Laosan said euphemistically, he didn't believe that there was such a material, and it was whimsical for him to come to his uncle.
After all, to build such a high floor, it is not a matter of mouth.
But he didn't dare to argue, what if his uncle really got this building material? When the time comes, will you really build the tall building on the drawings? The tallest building in Xia Kingdom, can't you say that you can leave a name in history?
"In the summer of the fifteenth year of Jianye, Li Laosan, a mason, built the tallest building in the Xia country......"
As long as you think about it, this sentence may appear in a certain history book, and Li Laosan will ...... But it's also about it. When he said goodbye and left, his uncle asked him to take the drawings back to study.
Li Laosan didn't dare to refuse, and respectfully went out with the drawings in his hand, but as soon as he turned a corridor, he was stopped.
A beautiful maid stopped in front of the cloister with a smile.
Li Laosan didn't know this person, and seeing that she had an extraordinary temperament, she must be the personal maid of a noble person in Baifu.
Li Laosan held the drawings in his hand and bowed slightly, waiting for the maid to pass.
The maid smiled lightly, walked up to him, looked at him for a while, and asked softly, "Does the master know what is in his hand?" ”
Li Laosan trembled again, why are the people in this Baifu so strange, they all call him "master......
Li Laosan was a little strange, and replied honestly: "Go back to ...... Miss's words, it's a drawing......"
He didn't know how to address the maid in front of him, he was called "Miss".
Looking at Li Laosan's embarrassment, the maid chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not a young lady, I also know it's a drawing...... I'm asking, do you know how? ”
Li Laosan was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain knows ...... I know, I will never dare to leak it out, but I don't know what the young lady commands? ”
The maid looked at the drawing held high in his hand, and said softly: "This thing was painted by my uncle, and I hope that the master can keep it secret, so don't let others hear it." ”
Li Laosan's heart san, and hurriedly promised: "Please rest assured, the villain will never dare to divulge half a word of what he sees and hears in the house, and he will strictly abide by the drawings." ”
The maid smiled and shook her head, and said, "Since this picture is handed over to you by my uncle, I will build it myself." As long as you remember, until your uncle builds the tall building on the drawings, keep it a secret. ”
The maid was Qing'er, who had just accompanied the young lady to her uncle's study and overheard the conversation between the two. Although Luo Shi didn't know what kind of high-rise building her husband was going to build, with her understanding of her husband, since she drew it, she would definitely find a way to achieve it, and her husband inadvertently thwarted the conspiracy of the White Flower Sect twice in a row, Luo Shi was afraid that someone would listen to the information from the drawings, so she deliberately asked Qing'er to intercept Li Laosan here and ask for it.
sighed in my heart, I don't know why my husband wants to build a high-rise building, but since my husband doesn't care about this. In an eventful autumn, she can't help but be vigilant, who can guarantee that if the villain hears any news from the drawings, so as to know her husband's movements and itinerary, it will not be good.
If there are no bad guys...... That's the best, plan ahead, and be careful.
Bai Luoshi stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at the direction of the study, with complicated thoughts.
Husband, what a strange person...... Think that ordinary people dare not think, and do extraordinary things.
When Bai Luoshi walked into the study, Gu Bei sat on the red sandalwood circle chair with Erlang's legs crossed, humming a strange little song in his mouth.
"Why is the lady here?"
Seeing Bai Luoshi, Gu Bei put down his crossed legs and asked.
Bai Luoshi smiled lightly, and put the food box in her hand on the desk: "I just sent some food to my husband, and when I saw that someone was there, I turned back." ”
He opened the food box with his hands, brought out delicious pastries one by one and placed them on the desk, and finally brought out a bowl of fragrant chicken soup from the bottom of the food box.
Gu Bei got up and ate some pastries earlier, smelled the aroma, and his stomach suddenly gurgled and protested.
It's unceremonious, and it's a big eat.
Bai Luoshi retracted her skirt and sat on the circle chair opposite Gu Bei, looking at Gu Bei with a pair of bright eyes.
For her, Gu Bei is like a mystery, the closer she gets, the more curious she becomes.
Obviously, he grew up in Gujia Village since he was a child and did not receive etiquette training, so it stands to reason that Baifu will be very restrained, but he does not have the rudeness of a rural villager.
But in front of him, he has obviously had abdominal muscles, but his eating appearance is still elegant, quiet, and slow, if he is not a nobleman who has undergone etiquette training since childhood and persevered, it is absolutely impossible to do it.
Moreover, he also loves cleanliness and hygiene.
Hands must be washed before meals, mouthwash must be rinsed after meals, showers must be taken every night, and hair must be washed every two days...... You have to know how much trouble it is to comb through that long hair.
The weirdest thing is that almost all of your personal belongings are sorted out by yourself, so it's easy to leave it in the hands of others.
Uh, except for the clothes......
In this study, it is easy not to let people in, and she rarely comes over, he cleans up and cleans it himself, the whole room is almost dusty, the desk is neat, and all the books and ledgers are neatly placed and only in order.
It is neat and clean than ordinary women's boudoirs, giving people a sense of cleanliness, comfort and pleasing to the eye.
Bai Luoshi had never seen such a man.
What kind of person is this?
Bai Luoshi bit her red lip lightly, stroked her abdomen with her hand, becoming more and more curious, and had an urge to understand him urgently, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she stared at Gu Bei's well-defined handsome face unconsciously, a little distracted......
Gu Beizheng was feasting, eating and realizing that the atmosphere was not right, looking up, the lady's two beautiful eyes were looking at him, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, drank a mouthful of fragrant chicken soup, and said strangely: "Lady, why are you looking at me like this?" ”
Bai Luoshi was slightly startled, and suddenly found that she was a little distracted, and her pretty face was slightly red: "No...... Didn't look at anything...... Is chicken broth good? ”
Gu Bei nodded: "It's delicious!" After a pause, he blinked narrowly: "The husband knows that he is very handsome, but don't be obsessed with the husband, the husband is just a legend......"
Bai Luoshi was embarrassed, and her white and flawless face instantly flew into two blushes, and she was a little at a loss, and glared at Gu Bei angrily: "Husband, can't you talk well?" ”
I don't really understand what the strange words mean, but they won't be good words anyway.
Gu Bei laughed, in a good mood.
It's very unique to tease the lady, well, if you can discuss the question of the origin of life with the charming lady, it will be more fulfilling......
Bai Luoshi wore a skirt with a blue background and a hundred flowers today, and her beautiful face was slightly powdered, dignified and beautiful, and her beauty was incomparable.
Especially the seductive body under the drape of the loose gauze skirt, the looming white and tender skin, hugging the bed and arbitrarily arranging into various postures, the taste must be wonderful, the slightly bulging belly...... Tut-tut, I can only think about it......
Bai Luoshi seemed to feel his increasingly hot eyes, her heart trembled slightly, her heart was sweet and embarrassed, and she quickly opened the topic to divert Gu Bei's attention.
"Why does the husband have such a whimsical idea to build such a tall building?"
Have one's head in the clouds?
If you knew that in the 21st century, seven- or eight-story buildings are everywhere, you wouldn't think it's fanciful.
Gu Bei said: "As long as you can find two kinds of building materials, in the husband's opinion, not to mention seven or eight-story buildings, or even higher buildings are not impossible, once this building is completed, it will be a major attraction in the Xia Kingdom, and the construction of this building for the husband is also to benefit the people of Great Xia." ”
As a traverser, no matter what Lingyun ambition is, if he can't leave a trace in this era, wouldn't it be too much of a failure?
Besides, benefiting the people is not an empty word, and the housing prices in Tianfu City are still high, so what about Kyoto Shuntian? How many people can't afford to buy a house in the city, if he can build a high-rise building, the price of housing will fall, and more people can afford to buy a house.
Can this building be built? He can also build more high-rise buildings, so that there are more houses, and housing prices are falling, will more people live in houses? Isn't that a benefit to the people?
Bai Luoshi disagreed, and looked at Gu Bei with burning eyes: "Then what about before that?" ”
"Before that?"
Gu Bei was a little dazed and asked puzzled.
"Once this building is completed, the reputation of the husband will spread all over the world, however, the husband does not want to take the opportunity to get some additional income?"
Gu Bei looked at the 'I don't know you yet' look from the lady, and understood in seconds.
The meaning of the lady, he can't just build for the benefit of the people, there is a deeper meaning.
The wisdom of the lady is really embarrassing!
His initial idea was to build an iconic building to satisfy his vanity that had left a mark on the era, and he slowly wanted to profit from it, and finally the fig leaf was to 'benefit the people'.
Whether it is modern or ancient, as long as you have land in your hands, real estate speculation is one of the most profitable industries.
However, the difference is that modern people buy land to build houses, and in ancient times, the amount of land was used to judge the level of wealth, so there were landlords who bought for the sake of buying.
Seeing Gu Bei staring at him for a moment, Bai Luoshi's pretty face flushed again.
After a while, seeing that Gu Bei still didn't speak, Fang's heart moved slightly, and it was already clear.
The four eyes are facing each other, each with its own thoughts.
Gu Bei laughed, stretched out his hand and lightly pinched Bai Luoshi's slightly round and smooth chin, and praised: "The lady is really talented and intelligent, and she can see through the depths ......of her husband's heart at a glance."
Bai Luoshi was so light by him that her pretty face was almost dripping blood, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she secretly took a break: "Phew, the ghost wants to see through your heart......"
Gu Bei pinched his fingers, felt the residual touch of his fingertips, and secretly praised, if all the skin is in this state, then after hugging the bed and untying the clothes...... Don't you want people to die?
What a pity! At that time, I lay down like a dead pig all night, and I didn't feel the wonderful night at all......
"Make the best use of things", but also have "handy materials" in hand.
The subordinate said that Li Laosan was the best mason in Yingtianfu, but after all, he was confined to the times, and his knowledge was limited after all.
Everything is ready, only cement is owed, and only cement with a stronger binder can make the built house stronger.
Gu Beicha went to Li Laoshi's house before, and after inquiring about where there was a kiln for firing porcelain.
In the afternoon, Gu Bei took the drawings and took Xiao Ran and Qing'er out, originally he didn't plan to take Qing'er with him, but Luo Shi insisted on asking for it, so he had to give up.
The three of them rode to the outskirts of the city, and the time for a stick of incense on horseback arrived. On the way, Xiao Ran also inquired a little, and finally found a kiln for firing porcelain.
"What do you need to buy?"
As soon as Gu Bei and the others got off the horse, the shopkeeper at the mouth of the kiln greeted them warmly. Customers who can come on horseback are all big customers, and they are worthy of being received by the shopkeeper in person.
"Shopkeeper, can you order porcelain at the mouth of the kiln?"
"Of course, what kind of porcelain does the guest officer need to order? Although our kiln mouth is not large, but the craftsmanship of several masters is very good, whether it is porcelain bowls, porcelain bottles, porcelain basins, blue bricks, all kinds of shapes, as long as the guest officer needs us, we can order. ”
Gu Bei took out the drawings he had drawn before from his arms and handed them over: "I need to make a batch of red bricks, can you see if you can do it?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at the style on the drawing, and his face ached: "Guest officer, what is the use of this thing called red brick?" I have been making porcelain blue bricks for so many years, and I have never heard of red bricks. ”
"Can I do it for my own use?"
"If you can do yourself, you can do it, this thing is too simple, it's the same as firing green bricks, red bricks are just a little smaller, it's not difficult for him, guest officer, are you sure you need to fire this kind of thing?" The shopkeeper still didn't believe how anyone would want to burn such a thing.
Gu Bei nodded: "That's right, but I need a lot of this thing, the more the better, I don't know if the shopkeeper is willing to burn?" ”
The shopkeeper muttered: "This thing is very simple, it's no problem to ask for as much as you want, but the guest officer needs to pay the money first, after all, if you don't want this thing to be burned, it is not very convenient to deal with it." ”
"Okay, no problem, I still need to fire a tile, the shopkeeper can see if you can burn?"
Gu Bei took out another drawing, on which were the tiles he had drawn.
Since you want to build a restaurant, how can you do without tiles? Although I don't need it now, I will need it when the floor is built.
Not only does it look at the high-end atmosphere, but it can also be waterproof, which is indispensable in Gu Bei.
"No problem, this kind of tile is also very simple, but which one does the guest officer need to do first?" The shopkeeper glanced at the drawings and nodded.
"Customize the red bricks first, and then burn them when I let you burn the tiles, and you will put the drawings here first."
The shopkeeper was stunned, looked at Gu Bei with strange eyes, and felt that how this guest was customized today was a strange object.
However, he would not have trouble with the money, and the shopkeeper nodded and said: "Guest officer, the number of red bricks you customized is quite large, and the deposit can be paid for a thousand taels." ”
"Don't worry, it's not a lot of yours, pay you a deposit of 5,000 taels first, and then refund more and make up for less."
As soon as Gu Bei finished speaking, Qing'er took out a silver ticket of five thousand taels and handed it to the shopkeeper, and the two sides agreed on the details, and the matter of ordering the items was finally negotiated.
The shopkeeper took the silver ticket with trembling hands, lowered his head and carefully examined it repeatedly, and cherished it in his arms.
It was the first time he had seen such a huge amount of silver tickets, and his attitude towards the big customer in front of him became more and more respectful.
"By the way, shopkeeper, there should be a lot of discarded and damaged pottery shards at the entrance of your kiln, right? Is it convenient for me? ”
It's just some broken ceramic fragments, piled up in the open space at the mouth of the kiln and still occupy space, since this big customer wants, the shopkeeper will naturally not be stingy, someone to help him deal with these garbage, why not do it.
The shopkeeper took Gu Bei and the others to the place where the waste was piled up, and Gu Bei asked Xiao Ran to fill a sack of ceramic fragments.
After agreeing on the date of hauling, Gu Bei took the two of them to walk around the city casually for a while, and then rode back to Baifu.
When he returned home, he asked Xiao Ran to put the ceramic piece in the courtyard.
Bai Luoshi looked at him with a strange expression: "Husband, why did you let Leader Xiao come back with so many broken pottery pieces?" ”
Qing'er and Xiao Ran also looked at him curiously.
"Hehe, you'll find out later." Gu Bei pretended to be mysterious, laughing but not speaking.
And Gu Bei's next move made Bai Luoshi and Qing'er even more incomprehensible, he actually ordered Xiao Ran to move all these broken pottery pieces to the big stone grinder in the kitchen yard of the mansion, knock them into pieces, and then use the stone grinder to grind them all into powder.
Xiao Ran led the horse to drag the stone grinding and grinding, and asked curiously, "Uncle, why are you grinding this thing?" Can this thing still be eaten as food? ”
Gu Bei didn't answer, but just smiled and said that he was useful, urging him to pull quickly.
The people in the house were stunned by the uncle's actions, and they had seen those who used stone mills to grind flour, and it was the first time they had seen those who grinded pottery shards. The maids in the house were all alarmed, and they all ran to see the excitement of the stone mill.
"Xiaocui, why did you say that my uncle was grinding this thing?" An eldest lady working in the house whispered to the maid beside her.
"How do I know? Could it be that this one invented by my uncle is a new recipe for Tianxiang Dew? ”
"It may be, otherwise why would my uncle grind? And you see that Leader Xiao grinds so finely, it's basically the same as flour, isn't it the same as fat powder? ”
"My uncle is really a Wenqu star, and he knows more than us people......"
There was also a lady who was covered with foundation, her eyes lit up, she remembered something, and whispered: "Then wait a minute, the old lady is going to find more ceramic pieces, hehe......" The voice became lower and lower until it disappeared.
Aunt Sun, who heard about it next to her, the maid's eyes lit up, and they all looked at each other with ghosts, and moved away in an instant.
The general of the Fuzhong family watched their own leader pulling the horse, and took the initiative to help, driving the horse to sweep away the ashes, and crushing all those broken pottery pieces into powder.
