Chapter 137 The Temptation of Cement

‘Bang!Bang!Bang!’

Pan Jixun used all his strength to smash it hard a few times, but he still only smashed some powder and gravel.

He finally confirmed that this small stone is no different from a large stone.

"Huh..." Pan Zhongcheng threw away the hammer, moved his numb arms, and stepped forward to study the stone carefully.

He picked up the powder on the ground and looked at it carefully, and even tasted it...

Mr. Zhao was stunned. Can this be eaten?

"No glutinous rice and egg white, what ingredients do you use are so strong?" Pan Jixun turned around and looked at Zhao Hao. The white ash at the corner of his mouth could not conceal his desire to learn.

"Can you taste this?" Mr. Zhao opened his mouth wide. Is this a mouth or a chemical analyzer?

"I can only taste it. You used lime, sand, and plaster..." Pan Zhongcheng smacked the smell in his mouth, and was a little uncertain, so he lay on the lump and licked it again.

"It seems that there is a faint smell of iron..."

It's a wolf.

A capital letter "天" appeared in Zhao Hao's mind, and suddenly he had the urge to raise old Pan'er in captivity and let him act as a human flesh analyzer for himself.

In this way, the chemical industry of the Ming Dynasty could start at least ten years ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, Old Pan'er was the third-rank right deputy censor, and could not be included in the missing person silently, which dispelled Mr. Zhao's evil thoughts.

Pan Zhongcheng, who didn't know that he had almost lost his freedom, still asked like a large curious baby: "What else have you added? Is it expensive? How long will it take to become like this?"

"Cement, the property of your own is worthless. It has been three days since it was built." Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "Are you in a hurry to go home? It won't delay your journey. If you hold on, maybe you can get home after getting dark."

"You!" Pan Jixun was furious and wanted to exude fragrance again.

But he was really interested in what "cement" Zhao Hao said.

Pan Zhongcheng's expression changed a few times, but he finally softened his figure and said with awkward smile: "When did you say you are leaving?"

He hurriedly signaled to the servant with his eyes and quickly moved his luggage back.

"Are you the kind of person who is so angry? If you say that you want to help Kunshan elders fight against the flood, you will definitely stick to it until after the storm."

"Forget it, you are too angry, and every child is afraid of me." Mr. Zhao still shook his head.

"You!" Pan Jixun's blood tumbling, but under the temptation of cement, he suppressed his temper and forced a smile and said, "Okay, I promise not to get angry anymore, is this a whole thing?"

"What should I do if I don't keep my word?" Mr. Zhao asked childishly.

"What do you think of?" Pan Jixun felt that he was about to explode.

"You have to guarantee that every time you get anger, you will stay here for one more month." Zhao Hao said seriously.

"Uh..." Pan Jixun opened his mouth and nodded.

Zhao Shouzheng also secretly worried about Old Pan'er. He thought to himself that if you had such a bad temper, if you really nodded, you would just change your household registration to Kunshan County.

"Look, I know that your words don't count at all." Zhao Hao turned his head and acted to leave.

"Don't leave, don't leave." Pan Jixun had no choice but to hold Zhao Hao back and said, "I promise you, can't you?"

After a pause, he pointed to the stone and said, "As long as the cement is as magical as you said, I promise to stay for one more month when I get angry until I am in a bad state. Is this OK?"

"Yes, that's OK." Zhao Hao finally nodded, and the two of them hooked like children.

Only then did Mr. Zhao stop acting cute and took God Pan down the dam.

Without the obstruction of the embankment, Pan Jixun saw that there were ten large ships coming with Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Hao nodded, and Yu Ben ordered his men to lift the tart cloth covering the boat.

I saw that the first boat was filled with dirty sacks. The next nine boats were covered with coarse stones.

By the way, these ten boats came to Kun with Mr. Zhao yesterday.

In other words, half of the ship brought by Mr. Zhao yesterday were not transported by food.

This is why he was aggressive and inciting the people to attack Lin Xunzhang and the Xu family's slaves.

I was really worried that if the Lin Xunzhang discovered that his boat was filled with half of stone and half of food, it would have really fallen into his crotch. If it weren't that, it would be that.

Fortunately, Lin Xunzhang collapsed, which made Zhao Haobai worried.

~~

The workers carried the sacks off the boat and piled them on the open space by the river.

Zhao Hao asked someone to open a bag for Pan Jixun to show.

"So fine, like fried noodles?" Pan Shen grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully.

Just as Pan Jixun was about to taste it, Zhao Hao quickly grabbed him.

"This thing will react when it encounters water. If you don't want to keep your throat stuck, just eat it."

"Uh..." Pan Jixun hesitated for a moment, finally resisted the pica hidden deep in his heart, clapped his hands and said, "How to use this cement?"

"Look at it." Mr. Zhao smiled and asked Yu Ben to demonstrate to Pan Shen'er.

Yu Ben ordered people to open a few bags of cement, then directly took the river sand and stones from the river, mixed them roughly in a ratio of one to one to three, and added one-third of the cement water, and stirred them on site with a wooden stick.

"Can you still use gravel?" Pan Jixun opened his eyes again.

During his construction of river embankments, he hated gravel, because there were too many stones and the dam would leak water.

The disobedient workers were always unwilling to sift clean, so they directly filled the dike with soil and stones. As a result, a thousand-mile dike was destroyed in one cave, which could implicate the entire section of the dike.

Of course, there are too many stones by the river...

Now that Zhao Hao uses the most is gravel, Pan Jixun's interest is even stronger. He thought to himself, the consumption of cement and stone is much less than expected.

Taking advantage of the worker's stirring, Zhao Hao asked someone to dig a trench the size of a coffin board on the ground as the foundation.

When the trench is dug, the concrete is also mixed.

He asked Yu Ben to lay a layer of concrete half a foot thick at the bottom of the trough to base it, and then lay the wool stones of different shapes on it.

After about half of the matte stone is inserted into the concrete, fill the concrete. After filling all the gaps, lay the matte stone and pour the concrete layer by layer.

In this way, the ugly wall that was uneven appeared in front of everyone.

Finally, fill the gap with mortar and small pieces of stone to ensure that the stone is completely wrapped in concrete.

Well, it looks much more pleasing to you.

The entire process does not require professional bricklayers, nor does it have any technical content. It just matches strange shapes, large and small wool stones, and piece them together as flat as possible.

From laying concrete to building a whole wall, the work is completed in just a meal.

Seeing Pan Jixun’s pores exploded!

Because if you build a stone pond normally, in such a short time, you may not even have the eyes on a stone carved out.

Not to mention how long it will take to chisel a stone that meets the specifications.

What kind of speed is this?

This is the speed of flying!

It seems that one stone embankment a month is not impossible.

ps. The fifth update, please give me a monthly ticket!!!
Chapter completed!
