Xiong Chumei said: "Since there is one, then there must be a second and third grain, let's look carefully, it is always good to find a few more, although Brother Guo has the power of merit to promote the growth of cottonseeds, but a few more initial seeds, so that more farmers can plant cotton faster." ”

The girls responded, and picked up the cotton wool more carefully, Guo Dalu was holding the cottonseed happily, theoretically, as long as there is this cottonseed, his textile industry will have a shadow, so he was careless, and he didn't notice that the girl's eyes were slightly red.

Because, the lump of cotton wool that the little monkey found the cotton seed leaked from the big girl's hand.

The big girl is already a big girl, so she naturally knows what the yellow suspicious dirt stained by cotton wool is, so she touched it through the gloves and threw it on the ground.

The big girl is ashamed and ashamed, why is she so indifferent to Brother Guo's big things! I almost ruined Brother Guo's great cause because of my carelessness!

The big girl held back her tears, lowered her head, and carefully groped for the cotton wool in her hand - in order to find the cottonseed more accurately, she took advantage of the unpreparedness of others and took off the glove in her left hand, and with her bare hands, she could better feel the presence of the cottonseed.

With the first cottonseed as a reference, the girls have a number of the size and shape of the cottonseed, and they can find it relatively accurately, sure enough, after a while, Guo Lanying found the second cottonseed, and then, Xiongchumei also found one, Guo Dalu's mood at this time has been completely relaxed, for him, finding one more cottonseed is earned, when the little monkey finds the first one, it means that it is done.

In the end, the whole black-hearted quilt was opened, and a total of 7 cottonseeds were found, Guo Dalu smiled: "Girls, you have made great contributions, well, let me think about how to reward you, there is, I will go to urge these cottonseeds, after the first batch of cotton grows, one person will give you a small quilt, this thing is comfortable to cover in winter." ”

The women were also very curious about Guo Dalu's emphasis on cottonseeds, and they wanted to see what this cotton looked like, because the quilt in their hands was really not related to the "flower", even if Chen Qingdai was well-informed and knew Guo Dalu best, she couldn't imagine what this cotton flower looked like.

At that moment, all the women were chattering, walking out around Guo Da Road, the big girl followed behind, her face was a little depressed, because among the girls, she was the only one who failed to find the cottonseed, which was worse than the little monkey, and what was worse was that the big girl paused, took advantage of no one to pay attention, raised her hand, and saw that on her middle finger, there was a red spot, and a drop of blood was oozing out.

The big girl hurriedly took the alcohol on the side and wiped the small wound on her middle finger, which was when she was looking for cottonseeds with her bare hands just now, she was accidentally pricked by a foreign object in the cotton wool, at that time she was worried about attracting Guo Dalu's criticism, and even because of this, she was not allowed to look for cottonseeds, and she didn't dare to make a sound, but fortunately, the injury was extremely inconspicuous, and it could heal the next day, and she couldn't see the wound soon.

Guo Dalu carried seven cotton seeds in his arms, followed by a group of girls, and walked towards the field, when he passed through the center of the village, on a small building that had been built three stories high, Zhao Kang was waving to Guo Dalu: "Brother Guo, come and see, is it feasible to deal with the water pipes up and down the stairs in this way?"

This small building is a model building for new farmers in Houlong Village, although Guo Dalu's drawings are very detailed, Li Dayan, Zhou Carpenter and Zhao Kang and others after repeated discussions, think that the new building can indeed be built with reinforced concrete as the frame and red bricks as the wall, but the old village chief Zhu is old and serious, and he refuses to say anything in one step, and demolishes the original old house and builds a new building.

Guo Dalu had no choice but to let Zhao Kang and others build a five-story building first, and build a spire on it, preparing to make a bell tower in the future, which is the central landmark of Houlong Village - Zhu Lao Village Chief thought that the bell tower that Guo Dalu said was the kind of bronze bell in the monk's temple, where did he know, he actually wanted to make a modern clock, Guo Dalu could not make a good hairspring and clockwork for the time being, but it was not a problem to build a pendulum clock.

Now, this model building has been built three stories high, Guo Dalu responded, ran to the bamboo scaffolding, and took a rattan helmet handed by Wang Deen, and then climbed on the scaffolding, in fact, with his skills, there is no need for a helmet at all, but when entering the construction site, wearing a helmet is Guo Dalu's own rules, you know, the safety of this high-rise construction and flat construction is very different, the height of the three floors, even if it is a small gravel down, are fatal, the workers of Houlong Village are the first time to contact such a construction site, a small mistake may be magnified into a fatal event, so everything must be safety-oriented。

Guo Dalu climbed to the top neatly, while greeting the workers who were tying up steel bars, including the villagers of Houlong Village, the potters of Zhao Kang, and Huang Xiao and other landless farmers who came to take refuge in Houlong Village, and now, they are all skilled workers, I have to admit that the people of the Great Li Dynasty are hardworking and smart, Guo Dalu has been able to let them learn to read some simple construction drawings through night school and other methods.

Guo Dalu patted Huang Xiao on the shoulder: "How is it? Brother Huang, now I believe that cement can really be used as beams and columns, right?"

Huang Xiao made a big red face, when he saw cement for the first time, he didn't believe that this powder-like thing could be made into beams and columns, and when he saw Guo Dalu pouring water on the newly poured pillar for maintenance, he also shouted that the pillar was going to collapse, where did he know, in fact, the solidification of cement is a chemical reaction process, especially in winter, it needs to be watered and maintained by the outside world, the more water is watered, the stronger the pillar.

Huang Xiao patted the pillar beside him and said admiringly: "Obey, serve, I have done masonry work before, but I didn't expect to build a house to do this, with this reinforced concrete beam, not to mention five floors, even seven or eight storey buildings can be built, the key is to dig the foundation deep." ”

Guo Dalu nodded: "Yes, Brother Huang, you got to the point, if you really want to build a high-rise residence, you have to invent a pile driver, and digging foundation pits on the ground is not enough, who knows, maybe one day, Brother Huang can build a building with hundreds of floors." ”

Huang Xiao grinned: "Hundreds of floors high, isn't that the immortal cave mansion where the gods live?"

At this time, Zhao Kang climbed along the scaffolding and got out of the way of a simple tower next to him that was hoisting cement, which used the pulley assembly "invented" by Guo Dalu, and one person could easily lift hundreds of catties of things. (To be continued.) )
