Chapter 16: Cement Paving
Ceramic jar, this is a substitute for the glass bottle that Li Chu found for the old godmother.
The shape is the same size as the original, but the shape is a little bit more than the bamboo tube benchmark, and a change has been made to the bottle cap.
At this time, the process could not achieve the screw cap mouth of the later generations, so Li Chu used the card position, customized the ceramic sealing ring from the custom system, and glued it to the bottle cap. This way the lid will snap and seal.
……
Back at the stall in the town, it was already six o'clock.
Li Chu stepped on the ground a few steps, still wet mud, this night rain, really not the right time, the third day of opening, because of the rain and wet mud on the ground, temporarily closed for a day.
"Customize the system, you can customize everything, so can you customize the weather forecast?"
Customized system: ......
I just need to know, what will the weather be like for the next three days, how will it be, can it be customized?
Through the previous Qianzhao, Li Chu knew that this customized system seemed to have a little trace of artificial intelligence, and it was not very rigid, and Li Chu planned to customize a contract through the system, but the system helped him do it for free.
The seventh day of October: Rufen Town area: cloudy, maximum temperature: 3 degrees, minimum temperature -12 degrees.
The eighth day of October: Rufen Town area: cloudy to sunny, the highest temperature: 5 degrees, the lowest temperature -9 degrees.
The ninth day of October: Fufenzhen area: sunny, maximum temperature: 7 degrees, minimum temperature -5 degrees.
Ha!
There is no change to the custom coin, which means that this time the system gives away a free weather forecast.
In the next three days, it will be cloudy to sunny, and it will be easy to do if there is no rain.
"System, I want to customize the purchase of cement, ordinary civilian cement can be, the specific amount is still uncertain, you let me take it out first, and then finally summarize how much cement is needed, and then deduct the customized currency."
One custom coin can buy three packs of cement, and Li Chu's current forty-six custom coins are enough to deal with it.
Li Chu went back to his small courtyard, and Ah Xiu also happened to come back from purchasing ingredients, and was quite surprised and puzzled when he heard Li Chu say that he didn't need a cart to set up a stall today.
Li Chu told her about the situation, not only the wet mud where the stall was set up, but even the road to the town was wet and muddy, and the wooden wheels of the small cart were not very big, and it was estimated that if you walked on this kind of road, the whole car would be covered with yellow mud.
By the way, I also took advantage of this gap to tidy up this ground.
But before that, he had to make a tool.
Trowel.
The tools used to level the mud surface are normally made of aluminum alloy or iron, but they can also be made of wooden planks.
After getting the trowel, Li Chu carried two baskets and headed for the ferry.
The ferry, that is, this morning, went to Uncle Zheng's kiln, because this side is the shallow area of the river, and there are many pebbles on the riverbed below.
"Hey, isn't this the first brother, now that it's all ordered, don't take care of the restaurant, what are you doing here with two baskets?"
At the ferry, someone saw Li Chu and asked curiously.
Others also looked over here, in the past two days, Li Chu opened a restaurant in the town, and the news that he made a lot of money in one day has spread in the town, especially the five taels of silver for a meal the day before yesterday has deeply stimulated this group of residents who live by agriculture and have a daily income of only ten cents.
They don't understand why the price of Chu Ge'er's vegetables is so high, and there will be people who are stupid to be slaughtered in the past.
"Hey, Brother Chu, what are you doing picking up these useless stones?"
They saw Li Chu squatting on the bank of the river, holding a shovel to load some gravel from the river into a basket. Li Chu's strange behavior aroused the curiosity of many people.
This gravel is a waste stone in people's hearts, but there are some colorful and crystal clear stones in it, which can be used for ornamental purposes or used as fake jade to sell, as for this kind of pure stone gravel, no one really pays attention to it.
There was a lot of gravel on the bank of the river, and it didn't take long for Li Chu to fill two baskets, which were shoulders, well, so heavy.
Didn't pick it up.
"Hahaha, although this stone is small, there are so many of them, just Brother Chu'er, don't pull it too reluctantly."
Li Chu was quite embarrassed, but he was negligent, there were so many gravels in the basket, isn't this equivalent to picking two super big stones? He had to pour out half of each of the two baskets.
At this time, several people gathered around, and one of them took a piece of gravel from the basket and put it to his eyes to take a closer look.
If you want to start a house, you will choose the kind of medium and large materials, and you will not use this kind of small materials.
Under the attention of everyone, Li Chu went back with half a basket of gravel, and not long after, Li Chu came with a basket again.
This time, everyone is even more curious.
"Brother Chu, tell me, what are you doing with this broken stone?"
"Flat."
Li Chu smiled, two loads of gravel, it should be about the same.
Seeing Li Chu carrying the gravel and leaving, this group of people by the river, you look at me, I look at you, flat ground? With this stone? This is really fresh, so a few people followed behind Li Chu, wanting to see what kind of flat land method Li Chu had.
When Li Chu returned to the Shui Inn, there were more onlookers here.
Twelve packs of cement were placed in the corner by Li Chu a long time ago, and the reason why there were many onlookers today was because Li Chu did not set up a restaurant today.
In the past two days, some people have more or less seen some ways about Li Chu's restaurant.
For example, their own dishes are cooked with a porcelain lump, but the first brother here is burned on the fire with a large piece of iron, and the fragrance is scattered everywhere, every day at noon, he doesn't need to cook at home, just serve a bowl of rice, stand at the door, ask the fragrance from here, and you can eat directly!
Every time Li Chu collects money, this group of people can see it in their eyes, and this string of things should make people red.
But who knows, it's only the third day, and Brother Chu won't do it, but will tinker with new things.
What's in that gray bag?
There are also these waste stones on the ground, what is Brother Chu picking up so many for?
Li Chu poured all the gravel in the center, then disassembled several bales of cement, poured cement powder on the gravel, and then stirred to mix the two.
"Is that lime powder, why is it gray?"
There was a sharp-eyed one who seemed to see a little bit of a doorway.
Everyone can't figure out Li Chu's current thoughts and goals, this meal is running so well, why did he suddenly drum up this stone again, what is that powder, is this learning children to play at home and play with mud?
"Sister of the Yang family, your first brother, did you hit your head again yesterday?"
When Li Chu went to the river to fetch water with a wooden bucket, an uncle in his thirties teased Ah Xiu, who was standing silent, he really couldn't understand Li Chu's actions, and it seemed that this was just playing with mud?
"What do you mean?"
With frost on his face, Ah Xiu walked up to this guy with a little anger and grabbed the placket of the goods.
Li Chu was in a coma for nearly a month before, just because he hit his head, this guy's words today, this guy is not clearly cynical, saying that Li Chu's head is broken.
"Sister of the Yang family, why do you deceive yourself? The big guys can see it clearly, you say that this good restaurant business is not done, you don't want to count the money every day, and the whole stone and mud are put up, isn't this a brain disease, what is it? ”
The money Li Chu made in the past two days can make this guy's eyes red, his name is Zhou Quan, he lives in the alley opposite, every time Li Chu collects money, he is seen by him, he is very envious and jealous, a month ago, this junior brother was not as good as him, it has only been two days, how did it become like this.
Now, seeing Li Chu playing with mud, he simply laughed in his heart.
That's right, this Li Chu must have hit his head again and broken his tendons, otherwise how can he explain it?
Hum!
Ah Xiu let go of Zhou Quan, she believed in Li Chu very much.
As for this thoughtfulness, it's just a jump of the beam clown.
Li Chu came back from fetching water, and in the gravel and cement mixed pile, Li Chu took out a big hole in the middle, poured the water into it little by little, and slowly stirred it to let the water and cement powder be fully mixed.
It didn't take long for the cement powder, gravel, and water to be mixed together.
Li Chu began to spread the ripe cement on the ground with a shovel.
The open space on the side of the Junshui Inn was very large, and Li Chu only occupied a piece of the inn.
Originally, there were still many people in the crowd of onlookers who were talking, but gradually, the voice of the discussion became quieter, and as the area of the cement rushed over became larger and larger, many people's faces showed a contemplative look.
The mixed cement is almost enough for this large piece of land.
After the paving, Li Chu picked up the trowel and smoothed the cement little by little.
"This, this ......"
In the crowd, there was a bricklayer who suddenly understood something, and pointed at Li Chu in horror, he also thought that Li Chu was playing with mud at first, and he stayed to watch it with the mentality of watching a play.
But the more he looked at it, the higher his brows wrinkled, and there were many shadows of bricklayers in what Li Chu was tinkering with.
But with the cement floor being leveled continuously, this ......
Paving the ground, all of them are bricks and stones, because this kind of thing is hard, Chu Ge'er, but it is the same as the nature of lime, so it doesn't work, it's too soft, it can level the ground for a while, but a slightly heavier thing will break when you step on it.
It didn't take long for the entire ground to be leveled by Li Chu.
He also specially borrowed four pieces of wood from the Turgeon Inn next door, and the horizontal railings were on the left and right sides of the open space, and some individuals were curious to step on them with their feet, but they were immediately seen by Li Chu and chased them with sticks.
"Fellow villagers, what about Li Chu's restaurant, it will be closed for two days in the past two days, and the day after tomorrow, it will reopen the day after tomorrow, as for the ground under your feet, please don't step on it on these two days, and at the same time help watch the point, don't let others in.
Two days, after two days, everyone will be able to see the truth, and everyone is welcome to act recklessly on it.
In the past two days, please bear with me, Li Chu is polite! ”
Li Chu bowed to the crowd, and then called Yang Cheng and asked Yang Cheng to stay here for the past two days.
"Let's go, let's go back first, I'm hungry after a busy morning, eat first, and I'll have to bring food to Ah Cheng later."
