Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 162 Burning bricks (two more)
"I'll help you get the pony." Chen Zhongyuan bent down and picked up the pony, and took the lead out of the dining room.

"Just find any shade outside." Hong Lianshuo said with bright black eyes looking at his back.

"Hey!" Chen Zhongyuan looked back at them and nodded, "Then you have to stay away from the dining room, it's too hot."

Hong Lianshuo and the others sat down under the shade of a tree far away from the dining room, "What do you want to ask, Mr. Cao?"

"Master Cao doesn't dare to be." Cao Huaimin waved his hand and said, "Call me! You'd better call me Lao Cao."

"Okay, if you don't feel old, then I'll call you Cao Lao." Hong Lianshuo's beautiful eyes looked at him and said.

Cao Lao is much more respected than Lao Cao.

"Call me Cao Lao." Cao Huaimin said with a smile as he looked at her with dark eyes.

"If you have anything, just say it directly, don't be so polite." Hong Lianshuo said with bright eyes looking at Cao Huaimin.

"Then I'll just say it straight. I heard from Hu Hu and the others that you want to build a road." Cao Huaimin looked at her with burning eyes and said.

"Yeah! The road under the rain is muddy. We rode our horses, as if rolling in the mud. We had to walk on our feet and couldn't walk an inch." Hong Lianshuo looked at him frankly and said, "Anyway, autumn has also been planted now. , In addition to weeding, the rest is chores. If you want to fertilize, there is no fertilizer to apply." He looked at him with stern eyes and said, "This person can't be idle, it's easy to get into trouble, build the road first."

When Cao Huaimin heard the words, a smile crossed his lips. This lady Hong was really straightforward, "I propose to use the pebbles on the river beach."

"I discussed it with the sisters, and they said the same." Hong Lianshuo said frankly as he looked at them with clear eyes.

"They?" Cao Huaimin said in surprise.

"The big families in this city use cobblestones to pave the road!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said, "However, the roads are submerged in some places, and we have to get some earthwork to cover them, and we have to tamp them."

When Cao Huaimin heard the words, his eyes lit up and said, "I think so too, but the soil is not bad, how to transport it?"

"What's so difficult about this? Isn't there a scooter?" Chen Zhongyuan said in a carefree voice.

"This land is not flat for your scooter to enter easily." Cao Huaimin kindly reminded him.

"It's really impossible to make a way out!" Hong Lianshuo said easily, "If the road is long, we can weave some baskets with rattan, and we can also carry the soil."

There is no way without machinery, civil engineering can only rely solely on manpower, great human beings.

"Speaking of this soil, have you ever thought about calcining this adobe?" Hong Lianshuo said, looking at Cao Huaimin with shining eyes.

"No." Cao Huaimin shook his head slightly, "I really didn't think about it."

"Calcination, just like porcelain, build a kiln and put the adobe in it." Hong Lianshuo said, looking at Cao Huaimin with his dark eyes.

"I haven't tried this." Cao Huaimin scratched his head slightly when he heard the words.

"Then try it and see what comes out of calcination? Is it stronger than adobe." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with star-like eyes and said, "If it is stronger than adobe, we can use it to build a house or pave the ground."

"Paving the floor?" Cao Huaimin shook his head slightly when he heard the words, "No, no."

"Why not?" Chen Zhongyuan said unconvinced.

"Do you know how troublesome this adobe is to make, it's all piled up after calcination and paving the ground, are you willing?" Cao Huaimin looked at the naive them angrily and said, "How much does it take to pave the way? Did you count?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I'm talking about laying the floor in the room." Hong Lianshuo said, looking at Cao Huaimin with a dark face, "The floor in the cobblestone paving house is stubborn, so I was thinking of the square bricks after adobe firing. If the floor is paved, it will be easy to walk on.”

Hearing this, Cao Huaimin looked at them gently and said, "Sorry, the tone is a little rushed."

"I know that Cao Lao's starting point is well-intentioned." Hong Lianshuo smiled as he looked at him with warm and jade-like eyes.

"If it's what Mrs. Hong said, it's fine." Cao Huaimin nodded and said, "Of course this is built after the adobe is fired, so it can be used."

Hong Lianshuo looked at the serious man and said with a smile, "Old Cao is right."

"Then how to build this kiln, we have never built it." Lin Nanzheng said worriedly.

"There is a kiln for firing porcelain." Cao Huaimin looked at them with a smile on his face when he heard this.

"And there are a lot of people who make adobes." Han Yanhu said worriedly.

"Who can't do this! The peasants build their own houses, who can't drop the adobe twice!" Mo Sanya said with a smile.

"No, no, this adobe is made more rigorously, it can't be sloppy." Cao Huaimin said with a straight face when he heard the words.

"Uh..." Mo Sanya's mouth opened and closed when she was refuted, she didn't know what to say?

Hong Lianshuo smiled when he heard the words, "Sanya means that everyone has some basic knowledge, and they are not ignorant of adobe production." Bright eyes looked at Cao Huaimin and said, "Old Cao's guidance and training, you can follow the instructions. The size you mentioned is made of adobe."

"That's what I meant." Cao Huaimin nodded hastily when he heard the words.

Not at all!Everyone muttered in their hearts.

"Can this fired adobe only be used to pave the ground?" Jiang Shuisheng said regretfully.

Hearing this, Hong Lianshuo shook his head and laughed, "The adobe was originally built to build a house. The effect after firing is stronger than that of the adobe. Naturally, it is necessary to build a house, and it is also necessary to build a city wall."

"I don't know if the porcelain can be burned." Chen Zhongyuan said with some financial confusion.

"Impossible!" Hong Lianshuo shook his head again and again after hearing the words, "The soil used for firing porcelain is not just any soil." He smiled and said, "The soil used in your adobe is ordinary loess.

"Ah!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her with great regret.

"Then let's build the road first, the road is convenient, and everything is convenient." Cao Huaimin, who was in a hurry, stood up and said.

"Don't, don't, sit down first." Hong Lianshuo waved his hand down, "Wait for me to draw the picture."

"Painting?" Cao Huaimin looked at her suspiciously and said.

"The roads in some places are flooded, let's find out!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him warmly and said with his dark jade-like eyes, "It just happens to be raining this time."

"You remember it all." Lin Nanzheng looked at her in surprise and said.

"Hmm!" Hong Lianshuo nodded with a smile.

"Okay! There is a concept like this, that section of road should be raised." Cao Huaimin nodded hurriedly, "Then I will build a convenient road for this Huben Camp first." Then he stood up again.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't worry." Hong Lianshuo pressed his dark eyes with his hands and looked at him.
