Accustomed to the price of the county, when she returned to the village, she suddenly felt that everything in the village was too cheap!

Maybe the twenty taels of silver on his body can really last until the spring blossoms.

When the time comes, everyone will grow taller, and then they can casually put a boil on their face, slay a little scar, and then they can blend into the city again.

She had seen with her own eyes that the flower thief fooled around casually and escaped being caught quickly!

But that's not the way to go.

If he is caught, if the evidence of the crime is conclusive, he will have to tattoo his face, and then it will be a shame for the whole village.

She only hopes that the rich businesswoman who eats all in black and white will remember her little girl when she returns to the city, and even if she is given a few more good recipes, this wanted notice must be canceled!

As she left the blacksmith's house, she saw the village plasterer, Ah Niu.

"Brother Niu! I'm looking for you! ”

Ah Niu saw her, but avoided his gaze, pretended not to see her, and walked to the blacksmith. The shovel of his shovel of clay was cracked, and he asked the blacksmith to fix his shovel.

The blacksmith only asked him for five cents.

Ah Niu paid, and seeing that Tang and Rou were still waiting for him, he glanced at her and walked out without saying a word, as if he was sulking.

Tang and Rou were dazed and silently followed behind her for a while.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"What the hell is going on? Brother Niu, where did I offend you? Tang and Rou were at a loss.

Ah Niu frowned: "Forget it, why should I bother with a little girl?" It's not uncommon for you to take care of yourself, and you can't take care of me. ”

Tang and Rou listened quietly to his complaints.

Ah Niu said: "You are so close to Boss Liu, I beg you to find a job for me in a low voice, so that I can get a good errand." I heard that Fumanlou had been overhauled, and I thought to myself that we are all from the same village, so it will be my turn to do this job. ”

What else should it be......

Tang Yourou explained with a smile: "The Liu family's bookkeeper has filled his own pockets and replaced the materials of Fumanlou, which will require temporary overhauls, and it will be even more impossible to find casual workers at this time." This time it was the public losing workshop that was responsible for repairing, and even those apprentices who had little time in the industry were not allowed to go, and the eldest brother who built a house for my family had to take an ox cart back to Yuncheng tonight, and the construction had to start overnight. When it's done, I'll go back to my house and build a barn. ”

Brother Niu listened, only regarded her explanation as a show-off, and said angrily: "You girl is really like what Uncle Gui said, she only cares about herself!" ”

Uncle? Tang Yungui?!

Why is there a Tang family anywhere?

At the mention of them, Tang and Rou were a little angry.

The horse snorted in cooperation.

She grabbed the reins and said, "Hey, where does this start?" Brother Niu, as long as you inquire more, you will know that Boss Liu will not be in the city later, even if I want to help you speak, I can't find the main owner. I'm familiar with the shopkeeper, but you can build a house, so I can't arrange for you to go to the back kitchen to wash the dishes, right? Winter is coming, and everyone is short of building houses, so this work should be more profitable than washing dishes. ”

"They want wooden huts, and very few people want mud huts."

Brother Niu was still depressed, but after all, he was an honest man, and after Tang and Rou's explanation, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not annoyed with you." You little girl, I can't let you help me, forget it, just act as if it didn't happen. ”

"That's not good, anyway, I'm not sorry for you!" Tang Yourou said toughly, "Brother Niu, you obviously know what kind of person my second uncle is, why do you still listen to him and don't believe me?" ”

If it was someone from another village, it would be a misunderstanding, and she would not be uncommon to explain.

But Ah Niu can't.

He was the only plasterer in the village, and he used a lot of clay to make mud houses, and she hoped that he would take her to the clay mines and make cement and clay bricks.

Ah Niu is really a good person, with a gentle temper like a buffalo, seeing that she was really angry, she was a little embarrassed, she touched her head honestly and apologized: "I'm sorry, Rou girl, I'm just in a hurry and didn't work." You little girl, it's not easy to find a job in the county town by yourself, where can you take care of me? I'm just in a hurry. ”

Tang Yourou was strange and asked, "Wasn't Brother Niu in Dong Ji a few days ago?" With Brother Niu's character, did there be any accident that drove people away? ”

Ah Niu shook his head and explained: "No, it's a casual job, what you just said is right, these people who build houses rarely have to work on a casual basis, so I want you to give me a relationship to build a house!" I built a mud hut in the village before I went looking for work, and I went too late to get a little apprentice. What I do every day is to cut the planks, and I can't make a mistake, because if I get wrong, the wood will be wasted, and I have to follow the wood cutter to transport it back. This job makes a little money, but it's not easy to do......"

The honest man sighed for a long time, talking about the hard work.

Tang Yourou thought for a while and asked, "Brother Niu, how much silver can you earn in a day in the county seat?" ”

Ah Niu confessed: "If you have more, you can earn three dollars, and if you have less, you sometimes have to lose money." ”

Tang Yourou was stunned, squinted and smiled: "Brother Niu, I just have a big plan to make money, and I'm still in preparation, but if you can research out what I need, then we can make a lot of money in the future." ”

"What's the plan?" Ah Niu touched his head.

Tang and Rou pulled him into the corner, made sure that no one around them heard him, and told him the plan of the pottery workshop.

"Do you really have the ability to open a workshop?"

"It's not a problem to open a workshop, now we need to make cement."

Ah Niu became a little interested, and his eyes were shining: "What is cement?" It sounds like it has something to do with mud, I can do it! ”

Tang Yourou roughly told him how to make cement.

She recalled it for a long time in the morning, and remembered that the cement powder she had seen before seemed to be hot when added with water. So I used my chemistry knowledge again, and I thought that quicklime would get hot when added to water, and this quicklime needed to be ground into lime powder.

But cement is certainly more than that.

"I also came from the audit, I really don't know the exact formula ratio, we have to test it to find out. Roughly speaking, the stone is mashed into a fine powder, mixed with clay and the like, and then calcined at a high temperature to resemble gypsum. ”

"The previous one sounds a lot like mortar, but I don't know about this calcination. Can burnt stone ash work? And what is plaster. ”

Gypsum is calcium sulfate!

How do you explain this......

Tang Yourou was silent and patted his head: "I have to ask Dr. Yang about this plaster, I see that there is a ready-made one in his medical hall, so we don't have to worry about it." The finished cement can be cooled for a period of time before it solidifies into stone, which needs to be stirred constantly after being made. ”

Ah Niu was shocked.

He had never heard of such mud.

Tang Yourou described the properties of cement, and then began to paint cakes: "This is what I heard from a traveling merchant from the Western Regions in the Fuman Building in Yuncheng. There are all stone houses over there, and when there is a strong wind or snow, those kinds of houses will not collapse, let alone leak. The cement is like a paste that holds the clay bricks together. But no one in the entire Kangjin Dynasty has ever done this thing. ”
