Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan looked at Zhao Yuncong, who was bending down to salute her with a serious look on his face, and said with a bit of laughter: "Get up, why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

Zhao Yuncong straightened up, his face full of sincere gratitude, "My boss, I have a few words to say to you. Can I take up a little of your time?"

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you need Xiaoyu to avoid it?"

"No, no, just can we go to the backyard and talk in the pavilion in the backyard?"

Zhao Yuncong lowered his head in embarrassment. He felt that he was too busy.

Cheng Wan didn't think it was a big deal. It was naturally much more convenient to talk things in the backyard than in front of people coming and going.

In the backyard, Cheng Wan took Cheng Xiaoyu's hand and walked into the pavilion. As soon as she sat down, she heard a "dong" sound.

Zhao Yuncong knelt down heavily towards Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan was startled. She quickly stood up and instinctively reached out to help Zhao Yuncong. Her hand almost touched Zhao Yuncong's arm. She suddenly remembered the difference between men and women in ancient times.

"What are you doing? Get up! Is there anything you can't say properly while standing up?"

Zhao Yuncong kowtowed to Cheng Wan neatly, and then stood up from the ground.

He looked at Cheng Wan, his eyes were sincere, and he said extremely seriously: "My boss, I don't know how to thank you, so I just wanted to kneel down and kowtow to you, as a way to express my gratitude to you. "

Cheng Wan sighed helplessly, "Because I asked you to take over my father's place and take care of the kitchen behind the building?"

"Not entirely." Zhao Yuncong grinned.

"My boss, in the hearts of Lin Pan and I, you are our savior and reborn parent!

If you hadn't rescued Yan Qiu, then went to Yingqiu with Yan Qiu, happened to meet Lin Pan and me, and pulled Lin Pan and me out of the refugee team, Lin Pan and I would not necessarily be dead now. live.

When we get here, you let me be your client like Osmanthus fragrans, Yanqiu, and Chunlai, so that I won't be in trouble.

Not to mention, Lin Pan and I are now working in such a good place to earn money. This kind of life is a good life that neither of us dared to imagine when we were fleeing.

No, even before I fled, I never dared to think that one day I would live like this.

Now, my boss trusts me so much that he lets me take care of the kitchen behind the building.

Boss, I..."

Zhao Yuncong's eyes were slightly red. He raised his arm and wiped the moisture under his eyes with the back of his hand. He choked and said: "My boss, I really... really don't know how to thank you. My boss, you are in my... my heart." They are really my...reborn parents!"

Cheng Wan pursed her lower lip and said, "I chose you to take over my father's job in the kitchen at Sui Lou because you have the ability. Thank you very much. Just help me take care of the kitchen at Sui Lou and don't let anything go wrong in the kitchen at Sui Lou. , you just need to do what you should do, that's enough, and I will naturally not treat you badly."

"I know! I will definitely work hard and not let anything go wrong in the kitchen behind the building!" Zhao Yuncong nodded heavily.

"I heard from my mother that you and Aunt Lin are planning to do things next year, right?" Cheng Wan suddenly became interested in gossip.

"Yes, Lin Pan will be eighteen years old in the new year and must get married, otherwise he will be forced to get married by the government after next year.

It's just that Lin Pan and I both carry filial piety, so when the time comes, everything will be kept simple. The most important thing is to take the marriage certificate to the Yamen to register it. After passing the official road, we will have the name of husband and wife.

I thought that after both of us have passed our filial piety period, we can have a serious wedding. "

Cheng Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, pinched her fingertips, and said with a chill in her voice, "Aunt Lin will be twenty years old when she comes out of her filial piety period. Zhao Yuncong, you should not cause anything to make everyone unhappy by then. Something, right?"

A twenty-year-old woman is usually just a youthful college student in modern times.

But in ancient times, most twenty-year-old women were already mothers of more than one child.

It is not impossible that Zhao Yuncong had some spare money and felt that Lin Pan was too old, so he wanted to take a younger woman as his concubine.

Zhao Yuncong smiled bitterly and said, "My boss, I am self-aware. If I am not honest, you can kill me with just a little move of your fingers.

Boss, I am very satisfied with my current life, and I don’t want to turn back and go back to the miserable days of not having enough to eat and not having enough to wear.

Moreover, I am sincere to Lin Pan. "

Zhao Yuncong pursed his lower lip with a solemn expression, "At least I'm sincere now.

Boss, if I'm not honest in the future, you can take care of me. "

Cheng Wan looked at Cong and raised the corners of his lips with unclear meaning.

"You are quite honest. I believe that what you just said came from your sincerity.

Zhao Yuncong, I hope you will always remember what you said today.

Even if it’s just to live the good life you say, don’t act like a monster.

Otherwise I might really 'press' you to death. "

Cheng Wan looked away and said, "Go and do your work."

Zhao Yuncong bowed slightly to Cheng Wan and went to the front.

Living in the backyard of a random building, you don't have to worry about what to have for dinner.

Cheng Wan finished dinner and returned to her room. She sat at the desk and wrote a plan for making cement by the light of an oil lamp.

Cheng Wan already knew what raw materials were needed to make cement and the general process of making cement, but there was a huge gap between knowing these and actually making cement.

Some technologies required in the process of making cement are beyond the reach of ancient technical conditions. For example, calcining clinker requires a high temperature of 1,500 to 600 degrees, and the highest artificial temperature that can be achieved in this dynasty is currently That’s one thousand two to three Baidu.

Under various restrictions, even if cement is finally produced, it will be completely different from cement in the modern sense, or it can be said to be a low-end version of modern cement.

This kind of cement definitely cannot be used to build city walls or buildings. It is probably only used to pave roads.

But what Cheng Wan wanted from the beginning was to be able to imitate a low-end version of modern cement that could be used to pave roads for carriages and horses to run on. He had no delusions about producing cement with strength and quality comparable to modern cement under the conditions of ancient times. cement.

The light of the oil lamp reflected on Cheng Wan's flawless face, and the seriousness between Cheng Wan's brows was clearly visible.

"Jin Jin, when you said 'can be made' before, did you mean that in this dynasty, a low-quality version of cement could barely be made?"

"Master, it's not a low-end version, it's a super low-end version."

Cheng Wan: "...can this super low-end version of cement be used to pave roads?"

If she couldn't even pave the road, then why did she spend so much time studying this thing?

"Theoretically it's not possible."

Cheng Wan: "..."

So she was excited for nothing? Did you take notes in vain? Was it a waste of time to write a two-page plan?

"But Master, Jin Jin has detected that there is a stone in this world that can perfectly replace some of the raw materials needed to make cement. The calcining temperature required for this stone is not particularly high, and"

"and many more."

Cheng Wan looked confused, "Jin Jin, when did you get the detection function?"
