Chapter 2111 Encouragement
"Quick, Master Li, let's look at the others."
“Today these ceramic tiles definitely meet the requirements.”
Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, and walked over quickly, "Is there any result?"
Li Mingde saw Ye Muyu approaching, smiled honestly, slowly restrained his excitement, and said honestly: "Second Manager, take a look, can today's ceramic tiles work?"
"Okay, let me take a look." Ye Muyu didn't intend to make any tiles, after all, the current craftsmanship is not up to it, but if she can make the initial version of the tiles, she will be very happy.
After all, this is a whole new advancement.
Ye Muyu squatted down, and in front of her was a light gray ceramic tile, a bit thick, almost as thick as a pinky knuckle, and the surface was very smooth, like the beauty of porcelain.
Perhaps because some elements were added into it, it is harder than the previous porcelain, and it is not so brittle.
Of course, there is also a reason why it is thick.
At this time, most of the yard is paved with bricks, and the gaps are sprinkled with soil. The stone bricks are better and look good.
Therefore, when this thick ceramic brick came out, its usefulness was quickly clarified by Li Shuang: "Father, aren't you equivalent to bricks made of ceramics? They can be used to lay floors, but if you use them in a house Wouldn’t it be too ugly to fill the gaps with sand?”
Li Shuang scratched his head after speaking.
Li Mingde was also a little ashamed when reminded by his son: "Yes, I thought it was a new development, but I didn't expect it to be similar to a brick, and the cost is still high."
"In the house, it is not as good as a wooden floor, but in the yard, it can barely be used."
Seeing Li Mingde's discouraged look, the other men beside him also felt that this thing must not be used by ordinary people, and they were quite regretful.
Ye Muyu thought to himself, isn’t beautiful seams just made of cement mixed with lime?
This ceramic tile is not unusable. On the contrary, if it is further streamlined, it is not impossible to develop into future generations of ceramic tiles when the conditions are met in the future.
"Master Li, you don't need to be too discouraged. Although ceramic bricks seem to be similar to bricks, if you ask a brick-burning master to burn ceramic bricks, you can't do it. As for the price, you can continue to study, maybe one day , this ceramic tile can be thinner and the price is cheaper, isn’t it?” Ye Muyu methodically analyzed the benefits in it, and pointed out some directions for him.
After hearing her words, Li Mingde's eyes slowly lit up: "What the second steward said is very true, and he's just getting into a dead end."
"As the saying goes, every small progress is approaching a big breakthrough." Ye Muyu encouraged with a smile, and gave Li Mingde a bonus of five taels of silver.
This was agreed at the beginning.
Li Mingde's cheeks turned red with excitement from Ye Muyu's encouragement.
The other working men were also a little envious.
But at the beginning of the work, the rewards were agreed upon. Apart from envy, those who do rough work also thought that there would be rewards for completing the work.
Although according to the third class, the highest class is only the second class.
But this is unique.
All of a sudden, the people working in the garden worked harder and harder.
Ye Muyu saw it and was satisfied. It seems that the reward system is applicable at any time.
Ye Muyu has been controlling the production of cement.
Now is not the best time, so after a while, she left and returned home.
