There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 16: Concrete Flooring
A ceramic jar, this is a substitute that Li Chu found for Lao Ganma's glass bottle.

The shape is the same size as the original one, except that the shape is a little bit off the bamboo tube benchmark, and a change has been made on the bottle cap.

The craftsmanship at this time could not be able to achieve the screw cap of later generations, so Li Chu used card slots, customized ceramic sealing rings from the custom system, and glued them to the bottle cap.In this way, a cover can be stuck and sealed.

……

Back to the stall in the small town, it was already six o'clock.

Li Chu took a few steps on the ground, but the mud was still unbearably wet. The night rain came at a really bad time. On the third day of opening, the business was temporarily closed for a day because of the rain and wet mud on the ground.

"Customize the system, you can customize everything, so can you customize the weather forecast?"

Customization system:...

I just need to know what the weather will be like in the next three days, how can it be customized?

Through the previous photos, Li Chu knew that this customization system seemed to have some traces of artificial intelligence, and it was not very rigid. Li Chu planned to customize a contract through the system, but the system did it for him for free.

Seventh day of October: Rufen Town area: cloudy, maximum temperature: 3 degrees, minimum temperature -12 degrees.

Eighth day of October: Rufen Town area: cloudy to sunny, maximum temperature: 5 degrees, minimum temperature -9 degrees.

The ninth day of October: Fufenzhen area: sunny, maximum temperature: 7 degrees, minimum temperature -5 degrees.

what!
The custom currency has not changed, that is to say, this time the system gave away the weather forecast for free.

In the next three days, it will be cloudy and sunny, and it will be easy if there is no rain. Immediately, he put forward a customization request to the customization system.

"System, I want to customize the purchase of cement. Ordinary civil cement is enough. The exact amount is not yet determined. You let me use it first. Then I will finally summarize the total amount of cement needed, and then deduct the custom currency."

One custom coin can buy three packs of cement, and Li Chu's current 46 custom coins are enough.

Li Chu went back to her small courtyard, and Axiu just came back from shopping for ingredients. He was quite surprised and puzzled when he heard Li Chu said that he didn't need a cart to set up a stall today.

Li Chu told her the situation, not only the wet mud at the stall, even the road to the town is also wet and muddy, the wooden wheels of the cart are not made too big, it is estimated that it will take a while to walk on this kind of road. One time, the whole car will be covered with yellow mud.

By the way, I also took advantage of this gap to tidy up the ground.

But before that, he had to make a tool.

Trowel.

The tools used to smooth the mud surface are usually made of aluminum alloy or iron, but they can also be made of wood.

After finishing the trowel, Li Chu picked up two baskets and headed for the ferry.

The ferry, that is, to go to Zheng Daye’s folk kiln this morning, because this side is the shallow water area of ​​the river, and there are many pebbles by the river bed below.

"Hey, isn't this brother Chu? Now it's time for dinner, why don't you go to the restaurant and come here with two baskets?"

At the ferry, someone saw Li Chu and asked curiously.

Others also looked over here one after another. In the past two days, Li Chu opened a restaurant in the town, and the news that he made a lot of money in one day has spread in the town, especially the five taels of the meal the day before yesterday. The silver has deeply stimulated this group of residents who rely on agriculture for a living and their daily income is less than ten yuan.

They don't understand why the price of Chu Ge'er's vegetables is so high, and some people will be slaughtered in the past foolishly.

"Hey, Brother Chu, why are you picking up these useless stones?"

They saw that Li Chu was squatting on the bank of the river, holding a shovel and putting some riverside gravel into baskets.Li Chu's strange behavior aroused the curiosity of many people.

In people's minds, these gravels belong to waste rocks, but there are some colorful crystal clear stones inside, which can be used as ornamentals or sold as fake jade. As for the pure stone gravel, no one really pays attention to it.

There are a lot of gravel on the river bank, and Li Chu filled two baskets in a short time. This shoulder, um, is so heavy.

Did not pick it up.

"Hahaha, although these stones are small, there are so many of them. With your body, Chu, don't pull them too forcefully."

Li Chu was quite embarrassed, but he was negligent. There were so many gravels in the basket, wouldn't this be the same as picking two super big rocks?He had no choice but to pour out half of each of the two baskets.

At this time, several people gathered around, and one of them picked up a piece of gravel from the basket and looked carefully at it. Except that there were no water chestnuts on all sides, it was just an ordinary stone.

If you want to build a house, you will choose medium and large materials, and you will not use such small materials.

Under the attention of everyone, Li Chu went back carrying half a basket of gravel. Not long after, Li Chu came back carrying another basket.

This time, everyone was even more curious.

"Brother Chu, tell me, what are you doing with this broken stone?"

"Flat land."

Li Chu chuckled, two loads of gravel should be enough.

Seeing Li Chu walking away carrying gravel, the group of people by the river look at me, I look at you, flat ground?Use this stone?This was really new, so several people followed Li Chu, wanting to see how Li Chu leveled the ground.

When Li Chu returned to the Fushui Inn, there were even more people watching.

Twelve packs of cement had been placed in the corner by Li Chu early on. The reason why there were so many onlookers today was because Li Chu didn't set up a restaurant today.

In the past two days, some people have more or less seen the way of Li Chu's restaurant.

For example, my own dishes are all cooked with a piece of porcelain, but Chu Geer’s side uses a big iron block to cook on the fire, and the fragrance wafts around, so I don’t need to cook any more at noon every day , Just bring a bowl of rice, stand at the door, ask about the scent coming from here, and you can eat directly!

Every time Li Chu collects money, this group of people can see it in their eyes. This series of strings makes people jealous.

But I don't know, it's only the third day, Brother Chu stopped doing it, and started to tinker with new things instead.

What's in that dingy bag?
And these waste rocks on the ground, what did Brother Chu do to pick up so many?
Li Chu poured all the gravel in the center, then unpacked several bags of cement, poured the cement powder on the gravel, and stirred to mix the two together.

"Is that lime powder? Why is it gray?"

Someone with sharp eyes seemed to see a little way.

Everyone can't figure out Li Chu's current thoughts and goals. The restaurant is running well, so why did the stones suddenly come up again? What is that powder? Is this just like children playing house and playing with mud? ?
"Sister of the Yang family, your first brother, did you hit your head again yesterday?"

When Li Chu went to fetch water from the river with a wooden barrel, an uncle in his 30s teased Axiu who was standing silently by the side. He really couldn't understand Li Chu's actions. Isn't it just playing with mud?

"What do you mean?"

With a frosty face, Axiu walked up to this guy a little angrily, and grabbed the guy's skirt.

Li Chu was in a coma for nearly a month before because of a bump on his head. This guy's remarks today are not obviously sarcasm, saying that Li Chu's head is broken.

"Sister of the Yang family, why are you deceiving yourself and others? Everyone can see it clearly. You said that this good restaurant business is not going to be done, and you don't need to count the money every day, and you have piled up rocks and mud. This is not a brain disease, but what is it?" ?”

The money Li Chu earned in the past two days made this guy jealous. His name is Zhou Quan, and he lives in the alley opposite. Every time Li Chu collected money, he saw it in his eyes. He was very envious and jealous. A while ago, this junior brother was inferior to him in everything. It's only been two days, how did he become like this.

Now, seeing Li Chu playing in the mud, he laughed heartily.

That's right, this Li Chu must have bumped his head again and broke his tendons, otherwise how can he explain it?

snort!
Axiu let go of Zhou Quan, she trusted Li Chu very much.

As for Zhouquan, it's just a clown.

Li Chu came back from fetching water. In the pile of gravel and cement mixture, Li Chu made a big opening in the middle, poured water into it bit by bit, and stirred slowly, so that the water and cement powder were fully mixed. .

Before long, cement powder, gravel, and water were mixed together.

Li Chu began to spread the cooked cement on the ground shovel by shovel.

There is a lot of open space on the side of the Fushui Inn, and Li Chu only occupied the side near the inn.

Originally, there were quite a few people discussing among the crowd, but gradually, the voice of the discussion became quieter, and as the range of the cement rushing over became larger and larger, many people showed contemplative expressions on their faces.

The cement that was mixed was almost just enough for this large piece of land.

After it was fully paved, Li Chu picked up the trowel and smoothed the cement bit by bit.

"This this……"

Among the crowd, a bricklayer general seemed to understand something suddenly, and pointed at Li Chu in horror. At first, he also thought that Li Chu was playing with mud, so he stayed and watched with the mentality of watching a play.

But the more he looked at it, the more he frowned. There were many shadows of bricklayers in Li Chu's tinkering.

But as the concrete floor is being leveled continuously, this...

The ground is paved with bricks and stones, because this kind of thing is hard. Chu Geer, this one has the same properties as lime. Step on it and it will break.

Not long after, the entire ground was leveled by Li Chu.

He also specially borrowed four pieces of wood from the Fushui inn next door, and put them on the left and right sides of the open space. Some individuals were curious and wanted to step on them with their feet, but Li Chu immediately saw them and chased them down with sticks.

"Fathers and elders, as for Li Chu's restaurant, it will be closed for two days in the past two days, and it will reopen the day after tomorrow. As for the ground under your feet, please don't step on it in these two days. Keep an eye out and don't let other people in.

Two days, after two days, everyone will be able to see Zhenxiao, and everyone is welcome to act recklessly on it.

In the past two days, please be more patient, Li Chu is very polite! "

Li Chu bowed to the crowd, then called Yang Cheng, and asked Yang Cheng to stay here for two days.

"Come on, let's go back first. We've been busy all morning and we're hungry. Let's eat first. We have to bring food to Cheng later."
