Chapter 40: Cement Emerges Successfully
After Liu Mulei dragged the wild boar to the river beach, he returned to the mountain and took down the half-dead animals.
I took a look at the back of the wild boar and found that after such a long time, its back was actually intact, and even its hair did not fall out, at least with the naked eye, it was really impossible to see whether there was any hair loss.
"It's so hard, it's good that there are divine weapons, otherwise you can only watch it rot." Seeing this, Liu Mulei muttered lightly, but its fur is so thick, there is no need to call the calf, just drag it back.
More than half an hour later.
Liu Mulei dragged the wild boar to the steps of the canal, rested for a while, got up to check the road leading to the limestone mine, stood on it and stomped his feet vigorously, felt the solid dirt road below, nodded, and just saw the calf dragging the pillar and walking back slowly.
There were two little guys behind him, and after seeing Liu Mulei, the little guys ran over quickly, threw themselves into his arms, and arched their little heads vigorously.
"We'll eat in a while, and see if these few can survive." Liu Mulei touched their heads, pointed to the half-dead animals and asked, now there is a wild boar, and these small animals can't be looked down upon, but if they can't be fed, they can only be slaughtered.
Xiaohua let out a whining cry, and the pheasants and ducks playing around quickly came to these half-dead little animals with insects in their mouths, and after they ate the insects, they joined the big family vividly.
Seeing this, Liu Mulei knew that the problem had been solved, and said secretly in his heart, "I saw the existence of Xiaohua Xiaohei, which is similar to the existence of intelligent housekeepers in the real world?" "But when I saw their emotional appearance, I subconsciously regarded them as life.
Take off the cylinder from the calf, let it find its own food to eat, let it rest a while, and when you get back to the kitchen, take out all the jars here, pick up the kitchen knife and go to the drain
Even if the fur has not fallen off for more than an hour, under the kitchen knife, it is easy to peel off its fur, split its sternum and take out the internal organs, fortunately, at the time of the death of the wild boar, it is only this two days, and the internal organs are still quite fresh, and there is no smell of rot.
The internal organs are cleaned and put into the jar separately, and at the same time, the pig's head and legs are separated, the ribs are shaved out and put away, and the surrounding fat is cut off little by little, separated from the lean meat, with the help of a kitchen knife, it is done in less than half an hour.
Liu Mulei held several large jars of fatty meat, walked to the kitchen and poured it directly into the cauldron, lit the wood stove and let the fat boil here, and at the same time poured the lean meat into the vat, preparing to get more salt in the afternoon, as well as the four pork legs, and the pig's head into another large vat.
Those visceral intestines and pork belly also need to be marinated, and the pork liver and the like can only be eaten first, but there is no hurry now, there is a more important thing, that is, the whole pig skin, which should be preserved and can be made into clothes later, unlike now, only covering the key parts.
Mix the fat to make them better boiled out the oil so that the bottom of the pot does not get stuck in the bottom of the pot, and at the same time build a firewood pile outside the yard to prepare the grilled fish, if you don't cook with your hands, the little ones will be hungry.
After eating and drinking, I took a look at the oil on the cauldron and finished boiling, took the jar that had been dried before, filled the boiled oil, covered it with a lid, and at the same time put the oil residue on the plate and ate it slowly.
Liu Mulei picked up the big net of vines, hung it on the calf's body, put the burned mud cake on the big net, let the calf drag it to the limestone mine, find a flat land next to the firing cement kiln, and put the burned mud cake into it.
He took out the thatched baskets, made seven or eight baskets of salt, and let the calves pull them back into the yard, and then hung the cylinders on the calves, and went back to the cement kiln, where they pressed the fired mud cakes to the ground.
After entering the cement kiln, the cement block was dragged into the mud cake, Liu Mulei gently smashed it with a hammer, turned the cylinder over to it, let the calf pull the cylinder and crush it, and continued to add the material into the cement firing kiln.
Continuing to burn the cement, seeing that the calf's movements were not wrong, he nodded and walked towards the river beach, and began to crush the gravel and sand.
"It's a pity that there are no carpenter's tools, otherwise it would be nice to get a waterwheel!" Liu Mulei stiffly repeated the action of smashing stones, and if there is a waterwheel, he can let the waterwheel do these repetitive work, but unfortunately, he has not seen the carpenter's tools until now.
Looking at the piles of gravel on the vines, and the sand placed on the thatched blocks, Liu Mulei nodded, with the wisdom of the little flowers and the little black, only by tying the extra vines to the calves, you can pull these over, and it can still be done.
Go back to the limestone mines, look at the fine cement on the mud cake, and without stopping too much, get it to the ground, untie the cylinders from the calf, and let the little ones direct it, pulling the gravel and sand over.
Liu Mulei mixed the gravel and sand brought over according to the proportion, and when he brought a bucket of water, his brows furrowed slightly, what kind of thing to mix it?
It is reluctant to mix cement with a shovel of a magic weapon, and if the cement can't be washed off, what should I do? I didn't want to waste the shovel for cement, so after thinking about it, I looked for a big tree and cut it into a shovel, although it was not strong enough, it was almost enough to mix cement.
After Liu Mulei tried it a few times, he felt that he was quite handy, so he immediately poured water into it and began to stir the cement, and then shoveled them onto the compacted road surface, and passed them step by step.
There is no vibration, only the most primitive method can be used to shake the internal cement flat, but unfortunately this method is too inefficient, and it is difficult to make the internal cement smooth, but it is better than not doing a good job.
After plugging in, the ground was flattened with wooden strips, otherwise how to walk on the road surface of each hole, after this section of the ground was done, Liu Mulei got up and walked towards the coal mine, once the cement began to be calcined, the demand for coal was still very large, and it was better to prepare early.
Fortunately, the weather is very good, otherwise it will be more troublesome, baskets of coal are constantly loaded, and at the same time, after the calf has pulled the sand and gravel, he has come to pull the coal again, and the last trip Liu Mulei followed to the limestone mine.
The thatch covers the coal and firewood, and although the weather is fine now, who knows if it will rain tomorrow? It's better to be on guard.
