Before reading the book, Xiao Nianzhi had only one concept of cement.

Nice invention, very practical.

After really seeing the book, Xiao Nianzhi found ......

Well, cement is actually just a general term.

In fact, there are many different types of cement.

According to its hardness, degree of corrosion resistance and other categories, it is also divided into many different types.

There are many ways to make it.

What dry, wet, semi-dry, semi-wet......

Okay, I haven't finished reading it yet, just looking at the simple catalog, Xiao Nianzhi has already started to have a big head.

So, why be embarrassed for her?

She just wants to walk a little better, not affected by the wind and rain, and it is better not to bump her ass.

There are two key points in the production of cement: one is the raw material and the other is the firing method.

Among them, the part that involves the real technology is the firing.

The firing of cement, to put it simply, is to mix dry, burn it into a wet one, and then dry it, and there are many steps involved in the chemical reaction and material separation involved in the process.

At first glance, the process is very simple, and if you analyze it carefully......

Okay, it's troublesome.

The separation of the various substances involved alone is enough to make people's heads big.

The glass is okay, there is glass technology as the foundation, and the personnel on the official kiln have tried it before, even if it fails, at least they have done it.

But cement ......

Xiao Nianzhi felt that he might be too salty, so he wanted to find something to do, right?

In other words, how good the salted fish is now!

After watching it for an afternoon, when Xiao Nian, who only understood the value of the raw materials, was in a slightly eo mood.

Fortunately, when it was time to get off duty, the rain that had been falling all day finally stopped!

This made Xiao Nianzhi's mood slightly better.

When she returned to the palace and knew that the inner court had come to give her a gift, this EO would disappear completely!

The attendant who came to deliver the things briefly explained to Xiao Nianzhi: "This is the autumn harvest gift of the Xiangjun, when I came, I happened to pass by the Hubu, and by the way, I also brought back another copy of the Xiangjun, a total of two copies, please take it away." Look at the book

There are two autumn harvest gifts, one is the welfare of the township monarch, and the other is the welfare of the seven-grade petty official.

Under normal circumstances, officials' salaries and annual benefits are notified by the leaders of various departments, and then they are collected at the designated place.

Most of the time it's the household, and sometimes, the types of items involved are different, and it may be to go somewhere else.

However, the welfare of the township monarch was sent directly from the inner court, and the other party probably wanted to please him, so he helped himself bring another one with him.

Xiao Nianzhi hurriedly smiled and thanked him, and gave some reward, which was not much, just to be auspicious.

The attendant was a little embarrassed, and after some pushing, he still accepted it, saying auspicious words in his mouth before leaving.

After the other party left, Xiao Nianzhi took a look at the two rituals.

The welfare of the townsman will be better, there is a cake of tea, a jar of honey, two boxes of candy, and a live sheep.

Yes, there is a live sheep!

After Xiao Nianzhi saw the ritual, Uncle Qin led the sheep to the backyard.

Compared with the autumn harvest gift of the townsman, it is quite rich, as a festival of the pawn, it looks a little shabby, a cake of tea leaves and a box of walnuts.

Xiao Nianzhi looked at it, the walnuts should be sun-dried, about three catties.

Either way, something is better than nothing.

After Xiao Nianweaving counted, he asked Xianglan to take the walnuts to the backyard and keep them for daily eating, the tea leaves were all unified, Xiao Nianweaving divided one cake to Uncle Qin and them, and the other cake was ready to be given to Xiao Siye.

Although it is said that the other party also has benefits, it is different in the end.

The tea leaves in the delicious kitchen are refreshed every day, and Xiao Nianzhi can't finish drinking them at all.

Yan Xingxuan still had it before

Yan Changxia also sent a lot of tea.

There are so many tea leaves, and it is wasted not to drink them, so it is good to divide them.

For other things, Xiao Nianzhi also generously divided a part of it.

As for the live sheep......

It just so happened that tomorrow was Xiao Qing's birthday, Xiao Nianzhi discussed it with Uncle Qin, and knew that the other party could kill, so he waved his hand directly: "Then we will kill it, tomorrow is the third brother's birthday, let's roast mutton chops and drink mutton soup."

When Uncle Qin heard this, he was busy responding.

Aunt Qin also touched the menu with Xiao Nianweaving, which ones she would make and which ones Xiao Nianweaving would do.

After the two of them touched, Xiao Nianzhi went back to sleep after a simple freshening up.

As for the cement thing?

Tomorrow, when it's on duty, let's study it again.

After the turn of the day, the weather was still gloomy.

Xiao Nianzhi was afraid of rain, so he urged Chang Shan to pack up the carriage early, and then set off quickly.

A few days ago, His Majesty sent Quan De to pass on the message, so that Xiao Nianzhi would be free in the future.

She can go if she wants, and she can be absent if she doesn't want to go.

After Xiao Nianzhi listened, he really kowtowed to His Majesty with real feelings.

Is this the emperor?

No, this is a bodhisattva!

Today I went all the way to the Yamen, sat down and even drank tea, the day was still gloomy and gloomy, and it did not rain.

Xiao Nianzhi won't look at the stars or anything, and I'm not sure if it will go down later.

However, today she has something to sort out the firing problem of cement.

She needs to document a few methods and then try them slowly.

This thing, although there is a ready-made recipe, but ......

I haven't made it, the temperature is not easy to control, and all kinds of substances have their own tempers, and I don't know if the temper of these things has changed across a hundred years and thousands of years?

Therefore, you have to try it slowly, and it is impossible to burn it directly as soon as it comes up.

If Xiao Nianzhi was a big hand in the past, then maybe there would be a chance, and he would succeed once or twice.

The question is......

She's a theorist!

Since we are not sure whether it can be made, the preliminary preparations must be in place.

Xiao Nianzhi spent the morning sorting out the materials, dragging out books from the delicious kitchen from time to time and copying out the content he needed.

The two subordinates are not here, and Xiao Nianzhi is almost no one looking for him here.

Except for lunch, Chen said that they might come to the door, and at other times, she sat in the house, and it didn't rain today, and Chang Shan also stayed outside.

So, even if you drag a book out of the delicious kitchen to read, you are not afraid of being discovered.

At noon, Xiao Nianzhi decided to eat takeout.

Yes, takeaway.

There was a big dinner tonight, and at noon, Xiao Nianzhi decided to fool around.

Therefore, I didn't ask Aunt Qin to bring ingredients for me today, but I was going to go out to eat, or directly ask Chang Shan to bring it back.

In the morning, Chang Shan was specially asked to say hello to Chen and them, so as not to let the two of them run in vain.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Nianzhi gave Changshan Yinliang and motioned to the other party to help him bring a wonton back.

Chang Shan knew in the morning that there was no food today, so he could only go to the snack street to see what to eat.

Xiao Nianzhi gave a lot, and even brought out his share of the meal.

Chang Shan quickly set off to the snack street, and Xiao Nianzhi turned around and continued to read.

Before the book turned two pages, he heard a movement at the door, and when he looked up, he saw that Yan Xingxuan stepped in, still carrying a food box in his hand.
