When Lin Guizhen heard that she had something to do, she quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow, make breakfast first, and then make glutinous rice soup."

Mrs. Qin rushed to say: "You should rest for a while! I feel so sleepy. I will get up tomorrow to make breakfast and make rice soup."

How could Lin Guizhen agree? She quickly said: "Sister-in-law Qin, you have worked hard these days, it's better for me to get up early!"

Seeing them both rushing to get up early, Zheng Huiniang said with a smile: "Don't argue, whoever gets up early tomorrow will make breakfast. Maybe I will get up early!"

As a result, everyone got up early the next day.

Zheng Huiniang brought out a small bag of glutinous rice and said she brought it from her parents' house yesterday. In fact, Qiao Ran took it out from the space before going to bed last night and asked her mother to use it to make two pots of glutinous rice soup.

Since the glutinous rice is boiled into soup, not much glutinous rice is actually used. A small bag of glutinous rice and only a few handfuls are made into two pots of sticky glutinous rice soup.

After breakfast, Qiao Ran was about to carry the glutinous rice soup poured into the bucket into the valley, when Cao Dashan led someone over and snatched the bucket directly from her hand.

"How can a little girl like you do such heavy work? Leave it alone, let's do it."

A burly man next to Cao Dashan said roughly.

He lifted the bucket from Qiao Ran's hand as effortlessly as a child carrying a rattle.

"Uncle Cao, why are you so early today?"

The Qiao family had breakfast half a quarter of an hour earlier than before. Unexpectedly, the craftsmen had arrived so early.

Cao Dashan laughed and said: "It's not like you told them about your idea yesterday. Everyone wants to see if this method is feasible and how much easier it will be than before, so they came here early in the morning. "

There is a reason why they can become the most famous craftsman team in Beijing.

The two dozen of them are not only united, skilled, and not sneaky, but most importantly, they take the construction of every house very seriously and are more willing to accept new things.

For example, the design drawings drawn by Qiao Ran opened their eyes. If they could build such a beautiful village, their craftsman team would be more firmly positioned as the number one craftsman team in Dai Viet in the future.

And if they can build the first sturdy and durable house made of a new type of glutinous rice mortar, the houses in this village can stand for thousands of years, and maybe they will be famous and praised by future generations!

Just thinking about it, these men who had spent half their lives building walls and building houses were so excited that they naturally couldn't sleep early in the morning and got up to start work.

Qiao Ran didn't expect that one of her suggestions would make these craftsmen so excited, and she couldn't help but be amused and admired at the same time.

With such dedication and love for the industry, willingness to innovate, and awareness of improvement, this is the craftsman spirit worthy of respect!

The craftsmen walked in front, Qiao Ran said something to her family and followed behind.

She still had to decide how to make the glutinous rice mortar!

When we arrived at the construction site, it was still early, and the helpers and villagers had not arrived yet. The craftsmen were not in a hurry to start work. They all gathered in a circle and watched Cao Dashan and Qiao Ran start to tinker with the glutinous rice mortar.

Hydrated lime is powdery, and its dust or suspended droplets are corrosive. Inhaling lime dust can cause pneumonia. Contact with the skin will irritate and corrode the skin. If it accidentally gets into the eyes, in mild cases, it will irritate and corrode the eyes, and in severe cases, it will cause irritation and corrosion. Blinding, in short, will be harmful to the human body.

Fortunately it is spring and the clothes I wear are still thick.

Qiao Ran took out two dust masks and two pairs of animal skin gloves from her small cloth bag, and handed one mask and one pair of gloves to Cao Dashan.

Then he was asked to put on the mask as he did, and then put a veil over his face to prevent lime from splashing on his eyes.

Although there were sunglasses and plain glasses in the space, it was difficult for her to bring out such weird things in front of so many ancient people.

Even so, the two dust masks also made Cao Dashan and others curious.

"Miss Qiao, what is this?"

Cao Dashan looked at the mask Qiao Ran was wearing on her face, and then looked at the one he was holding in his hand. He felt that Miss Qiao wore it just like the muzzle on the cow and horse's mouth, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Seeing his curiosity, Qiao Ran could only explain: "This is called a mask, just like a face mask, but this one is put over the mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the lime powder."

"Also, these gloves are worn on the hands to prevent lime from contacting the hands and corroding the skin. Wearing a veil on the head is to prevent lime powder or lime water from getting into the eyes. Lime will cause damage to the eyes. In severe cases, It can cause blindness, so you must be careful and take protective measures when coming into contact with lime."

Cao Dashan nodded: "Well, don't worry, Miss Qiao, lime powder is poisonous, we all know this. Take these leather gloves back, I have them here."

Cao Dashan handed back the leather gloves Qiao Ran gave him, and with his other hand took out a pair of leather gloves that seemed to have been worn for a long time from a tool box he carried with him.

Seeing this, Qiao Ran did not take back the gloves: "Uncle Cao, these leather gloves are specially sewn for you. You can use them! I see that your gloves are rotten and there is a risk of corrosion while wearing them. My family There are a lot of game skins, and everyone at home has a pair of leather gloves, so you don’t have to worry that we don’t have any. This pair is for you, so put it on quickly!”

After listening to her words, Cao Dashan happily put on the new gloves on his hands. However, he was reluctant to throw away the old gloves and put them back in the tool box.

Qiao Ran was wearing leather gloves on her hands and leather boots on her feet. She took a shovel handed over by a craftsman and started working.

Cao Dashan also wore leather gloves on his hands, but on his feet were a pair of leather boots that had been patched and patched several times. Qiao Ran was annoyed that he didn't bring another pair of leather boots.

Cao Dashan saw her eyes looking at the boots on his feet and smiled naively:

"My mother sewed these boots for me, but over the years her eyesight has been bad and she can no longer do needlework, so she hasn't sewed new leather boots for me for a long time, so I cut the leather and patched it up myself. "

Qiao Ran nodded. It seemed that Uncle Cao was reluctant to throw away these warm leather boots sewn by his mother.

Cao Dashan went to carry a bag of lime, and the craftsmen nearby also used bamboo dung dustpans to transport some gravel.

The gravel was poured on the ground. Qiao Ran asked Cao Dashan to pour lime on top of the gravel, plus sticky red soil and glutinous rice soup. The mixture was 60 parts water, 30 parts gravel, 7 parts red soil and 3 parts glutinous rice soup. The proportion is good, and then pour the appropriate amount of water.

She mixed them together with a spatula and stirred them evenly.

Cao Dashan poured the ingredients and picked up the shovel to mix them together.

After these materials are mixed evenly, they are shoveled onto the ash bucket and can be used to build the wall.
