Yuwen Hu stepped forward and pointed to the forty or fifty-year-old junior officer of the ninth grade and introduced:

"An Zhonglang General, this is the right colonel Cheng Baiqing, refining lime has always been in charge of him, Bai Cheng has been working as a supervisor for more than 20 years, and he is loyal and reliable, so this cement refining work, he mainly led people to assist Liuqing, in addition to the original lime craftsmen, there are also porcelain craftsmen transferred from other departments, all of whom are skilled and honest and reliable people.

"Xiaguan Baiqing, see the two An Zhonglang generals!"

Bai Qing was very eye-catching, and when he heard Yuwen Hu introduce himself to An He, he immediately stepped forward and saluted again. He has been a nine-rank petty official for more than 20 years, and he has never been promoted, this time it was Yuwen Hu who promoted him and gave him this great opportunity, if he can assist An He to do this cement, he will definitely have a share of the credit, and maybe his grade will also be able to rise by one level, so he made up his mind to hold An He's thighs.

An He looked at Bai Qing and found that although this person had a dark complexion and thick hands and feet, if he took off the official uniform on his body, he was actually no different from those craftsmen behind him, but his wrinkled face had a pair of shrewd little eyes, and he blinked flexibly from time to time, obviously a flexible and clever character.

"Well, there will be a Lao Bai in the future!"

An He is very satisfied with this person, looking at his appearance, you can guess that he is a craftsman, and he is also very smart, this kind of person is not only practical in doing things, but also knows how to be flexible, and is a talent that can be created.

Seeing An He being so kind to him, Bai Qing was very honestly afraid, and he didn't even dare to say it. He is a petty official of the ninth grade, with a low background, and his status in the general prison is only higher than that of ordinary craftsmen, where has he ever received such courtesy?

"Bai Zhicheng, you now command the craftsmen to grind the limestone, clay, slag and gypsum into powder, and then mix the limestone and clay in a ratio of 5:1, plus a small amount of slag powder!"

Yasuwa looked at the materials prepared by Yuwen Go. found that it was very good, so he instructed Bai Qing who was following behind him. "Yes, the villain will do it!"

Bai Qing heard An He's order and immediately took action. Commanding the craftsman to run before and after, it seems that he wants to perform well in front of An He.

The crushing of materials is an indispensable process for cement firing, and the dust raised is extremely harmful to the human body. An He couldn't leave, but the three of them were choked and coughed, and Bai Qing knew how to send three wet towels. Let them cover their mouths and noses, which made Li Jingye and An He have a great impression of Bai Qing.

After a while, the materials were ground into powder, and then under the command of Bai Qing, the limestone, slag and clay were mixed according to the ratio of An He, and the gypsum powder was put aside for later use, and then the mixed materials were put into the lime cellar for calcination. In addition, the calcination time is relatively long. An He and Li Jingye can't wait here, so the following work will be managed and supervised by Bai Qing, this is the advantage of being an official, most things don't have to be done by themselves, naturally there are subordinates to do it.

Before An He left, he explained a few precautions to Bai Qing, and Bai Qing wrote them down one by one with a pen, and this serious attitude made An He very satisfied. The three of them came out of the cement yard to the hall, and An He looked at the sky and said:

"Brother Yuwen, it's still early. Thanks to your help today, why don't you find a place to have a drink? ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to drink, of course Li Jingye would not object, and tried his best to protect Yuwen. But Yuwen Hu hesitated a little, and said with an embarrassed face:

"It is said that An Zhonglang will be invited, of course he will go for his brother, but in the past few days, Lord Zhou, who is in charge of the prison with An He, is not there, and the entire prison will be managed by his brother alone, so he really can't leave."

Yuwen Hu paused at this point. Then he smiled and pointed at An He and Li Jingye and said:

"And today is really not a good time to have a meal, not to mention anything else, you can take a look at yourself."

Li Jingye and An and Jing Yu Wenhu mentioned this, only then did they find that the clothes on their bodies were all tattered, they had a fight in the restaurant in the morning, and they still haven't had time to change their clothes, and they also deliberately tore a few big holes, plus they were covered in dust just now, and even their hair was dusty.

"Hahaha~, if it weren't for Brother Yuwen's reminder, An He wouldn't have found out that he was so embarrassed, and he would probably be kicked out as a beggar even if he entered the restaurant!"

Li Jingye looked at himself and then at An He, and then the two laughed together.

"That's it, then don't bother Brother Yuwen, when the cement is finished in the coming day, you must not get drunk with Brother Yuwen!"

An He also opened his mouth and smiled:

"Hehe, I can be invited by An Aiqing, but I can't ask for it as a brother, I have long heard that the wine and food in the house are unparalleled, but I have never had the opportunity to taste it, and I must have a good drink when the time comes."

"Okay, when the time comes, the younger brother will definitely prepare the wine and food, and wait for Brother Yuwen in the mansion."

After An He finished speaking, he bowed his hand, and then left with Li Jingye.

The next morning, as soon as An He had breakfast, Bai Qing ran to the house to ask for a meeting, and An He hurriedly summoned him in.

But after a while, I saw Bai Qing, who was covered in dust, trotting in from outside the hall, and bowed with two red eyes:

"Xiaguan Baiqing, see General An Zhonglang."

"Well, get up!"

An He tasted the tea and said with a smile:

"Seeing that you are in such a hurry, it must be that yesterday's cement has been calcined, right?"

"An Zhonglang will be wise, yesterday An He and the craftsmen were busy all night, and finally finished calcining the cement, sure enough, as An Zhonglang said, what he got was a gray powder, and I wanted to ask An Zhonglang to go and have a look!"

Bai Qing replied very excitedly.

"Good!"

An He slapped the table, stood up and went to be a prisoner with Bai Qing, and deliberately let him ride with him on the way, which moved Bai Qing, who was nearly half a hundred years old, to tears, and kept telling his gratitude and admiration along the way.

It was still yesterday's lime-burning yard, but on a mat in the middle of the yard, there was a pile of very inconspicuous gray powder. An He walked forward quickly, reached out and grabbed a little and rubbed it: Well, it feels good, and it is basically no different from the cement of later generations.

"General An Zhonglang, is this cement calcined available?"

Bai Qing next to him asked nervously, although the cement burned out was basically the same as Anhe's description, he still didn't know the bottom in his heart, for fear that there would be negligence that would cause the cement to be unusable.

"Well, well done, this cement calcination is excellent!"

An He saw that Bai Qing and the craftsmen around him were all nervous, and couldn't help laughing, it seems that they think about cement too complicated, in fact, this thing is very cheap, just find someone to tell him the method of manufacturing, you can make usable cement, not to mention these experienced craftsmen?
