Chen Fan had already built a half-meter-high wooden shelf by the fence in the backyard to keep out the tide and water, and used it to store cement and steel bars. With the help of the safety and driver masters, a truckload of goods was unloaded quickly.

He gave the master two packs of peony cigarettes and a piece of pottery that he had burned, and sent him away happily.

This is still looking at Teacher Chen's safe face, which can be regarded as a thin courtesy, otherwise most of them will have to take care of a wine and meal.

No way, the current driver is so good, even if it is a tractor, he must be treated differently. If you change to the "driver" of the mule-drawn carriage, two packs of economic cigarettes or a pack of peony cigarettes will do the trick.

Of course, shipping costs are not included.

In the morning, Lu Siye just told him that people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, but in fact, there is no need to divide classes, they are distinguished everywhere.

The sound of the tractor went away, patted the dust on his hands safely, took the cigarette handed by Chen Fan, leaned on the lighter and lit it, looked at the wooden shelf and said, "Even if you are half a meter above the ground, you can't put it for too long. ”

Chen Fan himself took out a point, thought about it and said, "I'll build a shed later, and then ask the team headquarters to borrow a piece of oilcloth to cover it, it should be able to manage it for a while." ”

Safety looked at him, "I'll tell you, don't look at me pulling so much cement for you at one time, if you want it again, you won't have it." This thing is very difficult to get, it belongs to the planned materials, ordinary people want to buy it, beg dad to tell grandma, it would be good to buy three or five bags, you want to build a building, I will pull twenty bags for you at once, and there is no more bag, even if you are a great writer. ”

After a pause, he suddenly smiled, "Unless you can get the appreciation of the county leaders, that's two words." ”

Chen Fan shrugged, "I don't know anyone in my county, so it's better to point to you to appreciate me." ”

Safety laughed, "Then we both appreciate each other." ”

Chen Fan smiled, looked at the pile of things, and said softly, "Seriously, in fact, I have a lot of things to build, so I don't know if these cements are enough." ”

Hearing this, Security's face changed.

Chen Fan looked at it and smiled, "Don't be impatient, I didn't let you help continue to buy." ”

Security rolled his eyes, "No more." ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "The ratio of concrete is generally 1 point cement, 2 points sand, and 3 points gravel, and these 20 bags can also be very useful." ”

After a pause, he said, "But I still want to prepare a little more special soil cement, on the one hand, to plaster the wall, and on the other hand, if the cement is not enough, use earth cement to top." ”

Safety snorted twice, "Soil cement is soil cement, what the hell is special soil cement?" ”

Chen Fan gestured, "Go to the front and say." ”

Walking through the back door into the yard, Chen Fan looked at the two round piglets in the pigsty, as well as the two lambs that had lost their fluff, and then patted the foal's outstretched head, touched the little mare's nose, and walked straight forward.

Passing by the bamboo cage where the rabbits are raised, the security suddenly asked, "When will your rabbits be released from the cage?" ”

Chen Fan looked at the few big fat rabbits in the cage, and said without looking back, "I told Captain Ye a few days ago that it will take about half a month." ”

Safety nodded, "Before planting seedlings, I also ran a few production teams with Lao Ye, contacted several other squatting cadres, and reached a cooperation agreement with them, it is estimated that after planting seedlings, there will be a large number of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs seedlings sent over, and a small number of horses, donkeys, sheep, etc., waiting for this batch of seedlings to come, it is estimated that they will be busy." ”

Chen Fan understood what he meant, "Understood, I will diverge the time with the seedlings they sent." ”

Saying that, he turned around and smiled, "Anyway, the rabbit seedlings are all here, when they are free, when they come to pull, it's okay." ”

Safety smiled and didn't speak, looking at the rabbits while walking, and saw that the big rabbits and small rabbits were jumping restlessly in the cage, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

Thinking in my heart, it is worthy of being a man who is pestered by Stationmaster Zhou to be pulled into the veterinary business, and even has a hand in raising rabbits, and it is estimated that there should not be too many twists and turns in this breeding plan.

When they arrived in the front yard, Yang Ju and the three of them had already gone to work, and when Jiang Lili saw them coming, she took the initiative to go back to her room to study and give them the comprehensive room.

Chen Fan took a cup and asked, "Do you want to drink a can of herbal tea, or drink the green tea that Team 9 fried by itself?" ”

Security was stunned, "You have green tea from Team 9?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he reacted, "That's right, you are now a celebrity in Lujiawan, and Lao Zhong gave you some green tea, which is also right." ”

Then he gestured, "Then green tea, this thing hasn't been drunk in years." ”

Chen Fan took out the bamboo tube green tea sent by Lao Peng from the cabinet, took a bamboo slice and shoveled a little in the cup, then put the bamboo tube back, turned around and said with a smile, "I don't need to send it from the 9th team next year, I asked for a few tea trees dug by Captain Lao Yang from the 9th team before, and I planted them in the medicine garden, and raised them for a year, I should be able to pick a lot of tea next year, and I will give you a can when the time comes." ”

Security smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait." ”

Chen Fan carried a large teapot and poured himself a jar of herbal tea, sat down on the other side of the table, turned his head to look at him, and said, "I have been reading the book "Building Technology" for the past two days, and there is a paragraph dedicated to introducing several kinds of soil that played the role of cement in ancient times, such as the glutinous rice juice rammed earth for building city walls, and the fermented soil that can be waterproof and moisture-proof and used to coat the exterior wall. ”

Hearing this, Safety understood, "Is that the special soil cement you just mentioned?" ”

Chen Fan nodded, pursed his lips and said, "I can't afford the glutinous rice juice rammed earth, at least a few hundred catties of glutinous rice, not to mention that there is not so much glutinous rice to buy, even if there is, I dare not use it." ”

Security half-jokingly said, "If you dare to use it, I'll be the first to report you." ”

Chen Fan smiled and continued, "So you can only use fermented soil. According to the data written in the book, the effect of this special soil cement is actually not worse than cement, and even more than in terms of heat insulation, heat preservation, moisture resistance, crack resistance, etc. The reason why it has not become widespread is that the production process is very cumbersome and time-consuming. ”

He said and smiled, and turned his head to look at safety, "It's just right, I don't have anything else, but I have time, and when I finish planting the seedlings, I will ask Captain Yang to help find a few people and make a simple cellar for making fermentation soil." ”

Curious, Safety asked, "What's so special about this fermented soil?" ”

Chen Fan explained, "The fermented soil is somewhat similar to the soil and cement used in the countryside, and it is also blended mainly with clay, fine sand, lime, and plant ash. ”

He pointed outside and said with a smile, "Now is a good time for the herbs to grow, I can pick a sufficient amount in two or three days by myself, chop it and mix it with the blended soil, and then pile it up in the cellar to ferment, the fermentation time is about half a month to 20 days, and I can get a kind of black soil that looks very soft." When you want to use it, you can use it like concrete by mixing it with water directly. ”

Safety listened bluntly, "I still think about what kind of good thing, the effect is better than ordinary cement, and I want to promote it in rural areas, I heard you say so troublesome,"

He shook his head repeatedly, "Forget it." ”

There is soil and cement in the countryside, all kinds of materials are mixed together, and the water buffalo pulls the stone and plows it several times, and it can be used directly, so why add any herbs and ferment it?

Just for better results? Isn't it too much trouble?! And those herbs are dried, isn't it good to send them to the medicinal herb store to exchange money?

He glanced at Chen Fan, shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid that only a rich and idle person like you will not be troublesome." ”

Chen Fan immediately denied it, "I don't have any money!" ”

After a pause, he said, "Actually, this kind of fermented soil is found in many places, and Lujiawan also has it, but you don't know it." ”

Security looked at him in surprise, "Lujiawan has it?" Who has used it? ”

Chen Fan pointed in the direction of Team 5, "The courtyard wall of the Lu family's compound is fermented soil, and there are many brick walls in the house, which are also made of fermented soil as adhesive materials. ”

Security rolled his eyes slightly, "No, you just said that the fermented soil is black, and the courtyard wall of the Lu family's compound is yellow, which is obviously smeared with ordinary yellow mud." ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Do you see how many traces of repair there are on the exterior of that courtyard wall?" ”

Security frowned and thought about it, and shook his head slightly, "I didn't pay attention." ”

Chen Fan smiled, "I paid attention, except for a few cracks, there are almost no traces of repair, ordinary yellow mud, can it be used for so many years and still intact?" ”

Security opened his mouth, "So, this kind of fermented soil was quite common in the past?" ”

Chen Fan shrugged, "Geographically speaking, it is very common, and in terms of user groups, only the landlord's old wealth can afford it." ”

People in the city don't build earthen wall houses, and ordinary farmers in the countryside can't afford to use this kind of fermented soil, but only the landlords and old money use it.

He suddenly laughed, "The cement is not enough, I will also be a landlord and old wealth, build a house with fermented earth, and then smear a layer of fermented soil on the brick wall, and when it dries, it will be a layer of yellow mud, from the outside, it is an earthen wall house!" ”

Security scoffed, "Pull it down, where did the two-story mud-walled house come from?" ”

Chen Fan didn't say a word, went back to the house and took the book "Building Technology", opened it and looked for it, and then handed it to him, "Let's see, it's a two-story earthen walled house." ”

The security was holding the book, and both eyes were about to bulge, "Is there really a two-story mud-walled house?!" ”

Chen Fan rubbed his hands and smiled at him, "Even a rammed earth city wall more than ten meters high can be built, but a five- or six-meter-high earth-walled house can't be built?" ”

After a pause, he took the book that he handed back safely, and laughed softly, "I also thought about it for a while, in this place, building a two-story brick building is indeed a bit dazzling, and it is better to be low-key."

I will use this fermented soil to wipe the exterior wall, and the roof tiles are not needed, so I will build a thatched roof, although it must be repaired every year, but a little thicker can also save a lot of trouble, and compared with the brick roof, the thatched roof is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is more comfortable to live. ”

Security pointed at him, and after a long time, he held back a sentence, "You're too careful." As long as you don't make mistakes, even if you build a big villa here, who can do anything to you? ”

Chen Fan shook his head, "Be careful, there is no big mistake, try to save as much trouble as possible, and the same light as the dust is the realm of life." ”

Security scoffed, "Hey, even the realm of life has been pulled out, look at what you can." ”

Then he looked at him, "I don't care how your house is built, anyway, I'll just bring my mouth over to eat when the time comes." So what, how's my belt? ”

Chen Fan, "Oh. ”

He just wanted to talk about the progress, but suddenly paused, turned his head to look at safety, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the skin I want?" ”

The expression was the same as that of the criminals.

It's a pity that the security doesn't understand his stalk, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't lose your skin, and I'll send it to you tomorrow." ”

Chen Fan smacked his lips, "Then your belt is fine, but there are still two things missing." ”

Safety, "What two things?" ”

Chen Fan, "One is a belt buckle, but I will get it done in the next two days, and the other is a rivet." ”

Before the safety could react from Chen Fan's surprise that he had arranged the belt buckle, he was shocked by his next sentence, "Rivets? What's the matter with the belt? ”

Chen Fan, "Nailing the belt with rivets can better fix the belt, and it is also more beautiful. ”

After a pause, he looked at the security, "I asked the supply and marketing cooperatives department, they said that only the county electronic equipment department has rivets to sell, if you know someone, please bring someone a little more, I will also use it to make a saddle." If I don't have a way to do this, then I can only wait for me to finish this period and go to the county seat to buy it myself. ”

Without saying a word, he immediately asked, "What kind of rivets do you want?" ”

Chen Fan smiled slightly, "I know you have a way." ”

Then he gestured and said, "I want the largest one, I want to make a belt and a saddle, and I can't do it if it's too small." ”

Security nodded, "Okay, wait." ”

Get up and leave.

Chen Fan hurriedly stood up and followed behind, "Don't go, I'll eat here today." ”

The security head waved his hand without looking back, "If you don't eat it, I still have to go down to the field to keep an eye on it, so let's keep it for next time." ”

As soon as the words fell, he had already left the courtyard gate and strode towards the paddy field.

Chen Fan looked at his back and smiled, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Jiang Lili walked out of the room and asked in a low voice, "Is Cadre An leaving?" ”

Chen Fan nodded, "Go to the ground." ”

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and said, "I finished reading all the magazines this morning, and I'll help you copy your second draft." ”

Chen Fan looked at her and suddenly smiled, "How do I feel that you want to watch the next episode." ”

Jiang Lili's face turned red and laughed dryly, "It's mainly transcription." ”

"Okay."

Chen Fan didn't say much, walked quickly to the room, put the book away, took out the draft he had written, turned around and handed it to her, "It's all here." ”

Jiang Lili hurriedly took it with both hands, opened the manuscript, and smiled so much that her eyes were bent into crescents.

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, "You copy it slowly, I'll go to work at the team headquarters." ”

As he spoke, he was leaving.

Jiang Lili suddenly stopped him, "Xiao Fan." ”

Chen Fan stopped his steps to turn around and looked back at her, "What?" ”

Jiang Lili looked at the manuscript paper in her hand, and then at him, with a somewhat flattering smile on her face, "Can I ask you a question." ”

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Say." ”

Jiang Lili raised the manuscript in her hand and asked curiously, "I want to ask you, how do you practice calligraphy?" I feel like your calligraphy has improved so fast during this time. ”

Calligraphy?

Chen Fan looked at the manuscript in her hand and said with a smile, "Oh, it may be that I have recently practiced big characters, and my calligraphy has made some progress, which has led to some progress in hard pen calligraphy." ”

"Hard pen calligraphy?"

Jiang Lili muttered, then looked up at Chen Fan, and said softly, "Hard pen calligraphy, is it fountain pen calligraphy?" ”

Chen Fan's eyes rolled slightly, and he nodded inexplicably, "That's right." ”

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and bit the tip of her tongue lightly, obviously having something to say, but she swallowed and vomited.

Chen Fan immediately crossed his hands on his hips and smiled at her, "If you have something to say, just say it, what else can't you say about our relationship?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lili's face turned slightly red, and she finally mustered up the courage to say, "I want to learn hard pen calligraphy from you, is it okay?" ”

"Learn calligraphy with me?"

Chen Fan first said with a smile, just wanted to say that instead of learning from him, it is better to buy a calligraphy book and practice it yourself.

At this moment, there was a sudden bang in his head, and the whole person was like a thunderbolt.

Jiang Lili saw his face change sharply, and couldn't help but roll her eyes twice, then looked at him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, can't you?" ”

Chen Fan suddenly laughed, opened his arms and hugged her, let go and smiled at her, "Yes, of course." ”

Jiang Lili stood on the spot for a moment, dazed and at a loss.

What's the situation?

Chen Fan was happy to spin in place, and there were words in his mouth, "Hard pen calligraphy, calligraphy, post, post, ......!!! ”

Excuse me: In the 80s and 90s, what was the number one bestseller in the country?

Parentheses: Except for "Maozi".

This "bestseller" doesn't talk about anything else, just sales.

Answer: "Pang Zhonghua Copybook"!

What a drop! Throughout the 80s, Pang Zhonghua's booklet "Talking about Learning to Write Fountain Pen Characters" sold more than 10 million copies.

At that time, Wang Shuo, who was known as the first madman in the literary world, sold hundreds of thousands of copies in one piece, and he was already sought after by everyone, and he was crazy. And Pang Zhonghua's calligraphy dumped him dozens of times.

Not only that, from the 80s to the 90s, and then to the 10s, in 30 years, the genuine sales of "Pang Zhonghua Copybook" exceeded 150 million copies, most of which were sold in the previous 15 years, and if you count the pirated sales, the number cannot be estimated, but it can only be said that the conservative estimate is more than 450 million copies.

The students of that era, who hasn't practiced "Pang Zhonghua Calligraphy"?!

Therefore, Chen Fan wants to make money by writing, whether he writes martial arts or scars, or other mess, when it comes to making money, "teaching to write" is the first!

Thinking of this, how could Chen Fan not be overjoyed.

Jiang Lili's words simply opened a huge treasure for him. This kind of book does not involve plagiarism, Mr. Pang writes his, Chen Fan writes his own, and lets the students of Guangzhou University choose their favorite fonts, at most it is just free competition, and he has no psychological burden at all.

If he remembers correctly, the first edition of "Talking about Learning to Write Fountain Pen Characters" was published in 80, as long as he can be in the front and launch his own "Talking about Hard Pen Calligraphy", he can seize the opportunity, or at least grab half of the gold mountain.

And then operate it a little bit, and in the end there are only two words left, "make money"!
