Chapter 177 Tukang
"Occasionally, there are a few cracked ones that have been cracked for a long time. Just replace them. There is no need to repair the entire roof. When you buy tiles, seventy or eighty of these small tiles are enough. Don't worry about those that don't work. Change them all and tidy up the tiles, and there will definitely be no problem next year.”
"When it comes to your house's wall, the yard was very large. If you wanted to connect it up one by one, you would need a lot of green bricks. Just the brick kiln's kind of brick delivery truck. I guess it would take three trucks. , Just ask them to deliver it in three carts first. The brick kilns are easy to talk to. If you can’t use it up, you can return it as long as it’s clean and unused.”
“Do you want to build an earthen kang in your house?”
Repairing a Tukang?
Su Mulan’s mind suddenly came up with the soundtrack of a specific TV series.
Seeing that she was a little dazed, Bai Kangyuan explained, "It's said to be an earthen kang, but it's actually made of blue bricks. It's neat and tidy, and it's clean and beautiful. This is different from those lumpy earthen ones in the past. Burning a fire in winter can help. It only costs a little bit of firewood to keep you warm all night, and some people don’t want to burn it.”
"You have a lot of children in your family. It depends on whether you can get an earthen bed. If you can, I will take advantage of this time to clean up the roof and build the courtyard wall, so I can do it all at once. This will save you the trouble of doing it again later. It’s autumn now, let it dry for a few days, and it will be ready for use in winter.”
“The earthen kang is also cool when you lie down on it in the summer. It is much more comfortable than sleeping on a wooden bed. It is also sturdy and durable, but the name sounds a bit rustic.”
"Damn, farmers, we don't care about the name. I think this earthen kang is not bad. I'll ask Uncle Zheng to get it together when the time comes." Su Mulan said, "Just build this earthen kang again. If we add a stove, will these three carts of green bricks be enough?”
"I was thinking about it yesterday. I also want to get an oven. I'll see if I can bake some sesame seed pancakes or something. I'll save the children from eating steamed buns and the like. Uncle Li Zheng will also take care of it. Calculate."
“Yes, we still have this soil. How much do we need? Do we have to go to the ground in advance to dig some soil?”
Since it is a wall, mud must be used, and this soil is indispensable.
"Well, just go to the wasteland at the east end of the village and dig up soil. If the soil is removed from that land, you won't be able to grow crops. Just go there and dig up the soil. In addition, you have to buy some lime and mix it into the mud to build a wall. , strong and moisture-proof, insect-proof and so on.”
"As for the bricks, it will take three and a half cartloads of bricks. If there are too many, it will be fine. If there are too few, if the brick kiln is in short supply, we will have to wait for the bricks, and then half the work will be done, which will be very troublesome."
“There aren’t many places to sell this lime, so let me think about it…”
Bai Kangyuan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about the lime. I'll find a place to buy it for you. I'll deliver it to you when the time comes. Just pay. Don't worry about the price. I'll press it for you."
"It's really troublesome for Uncle Zheng to worry about." Su Mulan thanked him repeatedly.
“Harm should be done.”
Bai Kangyuan smiled, and then talked to Su Mulan for a while about the details of repairing the roof and the courtyard wall, as well as the things she had to prepare. Seeing that it was getting late, he went back first and helped Su Mulan find this place. Lime went.
Su Mulan hurriedly packed up and made lunch. In the afternoon, she went to the brick kiln in Zhangjiazhuang to see the green bricks and tiles.
The brick kiln in Zhangjiazhuang is not in the village, but on a **** beside the village. From a distance, you can see the green smoke coming out of the kiln over there.
