Chapter 702: The Mason's Tile Trowel

After the necessary experiments, the lime burned in the kiln was pushed on a cart by a group of masked people in the tribe under Han Cheng's command, along the stone road to the location between the new and old walls of the tribe.

Because of the previous soil excavation and construction of walls, there are quite a few pits here.

And because it is summer, most of these pits are filled with water.

Han Cheng designated a pit not too far from where the house was to be built and had people pour lime into it.

Under the gazes of many people, a wheelbarrow of lime was poured in, followed by a burst of boiling hot steam.

As cartloads of quicklime were poured in, the water in the pit was sucked dry, and then the rest of the water in the pit was drained and poured in.

The steaming and bubbling scene made everyone in the tribe look amazed.

After Han Cheng told everyone not to jump into the lime pit, he ignored the surprised people, got some quicklime in a clay basin, and ran towards the tribe's cave.

There was basically not much left except food that could make Han Dashenzi run so happily.

After arriving at the cave, he first poured some water into it to make the lime rise, and then went to the carpenter's room where Lame was working and picked up some sawdust from the ground.

Returning to the cave, seeing that the lime had become a little cold, Han Cheng took out an egg from the clay jar and rolled it back and forth in the clay basin in the room.

After coating it with some white ash, dig it out and roll it back and forth in the sawdust pile, then coat it with another layer of sawdust.

In this way, a transformed egg has been formed.

Of course, Han Cheng was only a novice when it came to making the eggs, so he didn’t use many eggs the first time, but only five eggs for the experiment.

This way, even if you fail, the loss won't be too great.

After the eggs are ready, all that’s left is waiting, which is a rather long process.

During this waiting process, the people in the tribe have already started digging out the fermented lime, mixing it with sand just like before with earth cement, and using it to build stone walls. Sometimes they would shovel some of it and fill the gaps in the stone walls.

It has been verified that these white limes are indeed stronger than earth and cement walls.

When everyone was delighted that the tribe had obtained such a good thing, Han Cheng "developed" another function of white ash.

This function needs to be talked about from a few days ago.

At that time, everyone in the tribe was busy with their assigned tasks. The witch, who had become the oldest person in the tribe since Huo Er passed away, was also holding the little rabbit and feeding it.

It was in this situation that Han Dashenzi walked over leisurely and said something that surprised everyone.

What he meant was that the large brick and tile houses in the tribe should be renovated.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

You know, the large blue brick and tile house used as a school and meeting room is the most magnificent house in the Qingque tribe so far, and it is also the best house in the tribe.

Now the Son of God said that he wanted to renovate such a nice house, so it was no wonder that they were surprised.

Seeing the reactions of Wu and others, Han Cheng knew that everyone had misunderstood what he meant.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's a white wall."

As a result, after these words were spoken, a group of people still stared at each other, and there were circles in their eyes.

In view of this, Han Cheng did not say any more, but directly dismissed everyone, and then found the first carpenter, Bo, and drew patterns on the ground for him to make tools for plastering the wall.

Since you can't explain it clearly, just do it directly. This is a good habit that Han Cheng has developed in this era.

The tools used for plastering walls are very simple. If you don’t count the putty basin, there are generally only two types.

One is a rectangular shovel with a handle made of wood, and the other is a trowel.

The structure of the trowel is also very simple. It is a piece of wood that has one side sawed and then scraped very smooth with a planer.

Make a concave handle in the middle of the back of the board, buckle it along the length of the board, and then secure it.

This way the trowel is ready.

After doing all this, Han Cheng personally started working, mixing some sifted fine sand with lime, putting it into a clay basin, and then started working with a wooden shovel in one hand and a trowel in the other.

Han Cheng had never personally done the wall-painting job in his later life, but it was not uncommon for him to do it. It was his first time doing such a thing, and although he was very unfamiliar with it, he could still do it.

He first used the trowel in his hand to pick up some white lime from the ash basin, then put the white lime on the wooden shovel, and then used the wooden shovel to put the mixed white lime on the bottom surface of the mold, which was the side that was scraped very smoothly.

Then use a trowel in your hand to press the white lime onto the wall.

After two moves back and forth, a small area of ​​the brick wall was covered.

Everyone then realized that the renovation that the Son of God was talking about was actually this method of renovation, and that this was the whitewashed wall.

But that was just the end of the story, because they didn't see how beautiful this big blue brick and tile house looked after such treatment.

This piece of lime pasted on it easily reminds people of a big patch on clothes, which looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

Han Cheng didn't know what Wu, the eldest senior brother and the others were thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much, because as someone who came from the future, he knew clearly the effect that could be produced after painting the walls with white lime.

It looks awkward at the moment because the area of ​​powder is too small and the white lime just applied has not dried yet and looks dull in color, so the effect does not look good.

It was impossible for Han Cheng to paint such a big house by himself, so he just tried his hand and let everyone understand what wall painting was, and then stopped temporarily.

The eldest brother and others continued to build new houses and pig pens.

And Bo, under Han Cheng's instructions, continued to make trowels and other things.

Many people in the tribe thought that the Son of God also thought that this was not a good look, so he gave up.

But when it rained and the work outside could no longer be done, they realized that they were completely wrong.

These guys who wanted to take a break during the rain were conscripted by the black-hearted Son of God. Each of them was given a wooden ash shovel and a trowel, with an ash basin in front of them. A scaffold was set up in the house, and they continued to "destroy" the large blue brick and tile house.

At the beginning, most people were painting the walls while feeling sorry for the big brick and tile house.

This feeling of pity did not last long. When everyone finished watching the whole thing, they no longer had this feeling when they watched it again...
