Chapter 114 Waterproof and Windproof Mud
Someone stood outside the Shen family's door, unconvinced, with his hands on his hips and shouted loudly.
Ling Yun walked out of the room calmly, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Why, do you have any objections?"
"I" wanted to stiffen his neck and stand firm, but when he remembered the scene of Ling Yun chopping melons and vegetables when he killed the Jun people, he immediately became timid and muttered softly, "I'm not talking about you guys..."
Ling Yun snorted, "The room is right here, so it's first come, first served. You guys are running slowly, so you're blaming others for running too fast? You didn't run slowly when the Jun people came before."
The man was choked by his words and didn't say anything for a long time. Ling Yun didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned around and went back to the house to continue working.
He had to clean up early so that the master would have a place to sleep at night. After cleaning up, he had to go to the Shen family to help. After all, the master was helping the Shen family with work, so it made no sense for him, a close attendant, not to go.
After this incident, the other people who were dissatisfied with the Shen family for choosing the best house also calmed down. How could they forget that the Cheng brothers were close to the Shen family? If they offended these two killers, they would still be in trouble.
At that moment, those who reacted quickly had already gone to pick out the remaining good houses, while those who ran slowly could only live in those houses that didn’t even have roofs.
Fortunately, they had sewed a tent with animal skins on the way, which was enough for a few nights. However, they had to find a way to repair the roof in the next few days.
Because of the house incident, some people were inevitably dissatisfied, but no one showed it at this time.
Shen Qingqian and her family chose four rooms. Although there were only four rooms, the houses here were large. If the layout was planned well, it would be enough to accommodate their family of sixteen.
Unfortunately, all the houses are made of mud, and the roofs are made of yellow mud mixed with some unknown substance. The windproof and heat-insulating performance is extremely poor, and it can only block some wind and sand.
"This place looks like it's going to leak. We need to think of a way." Shen Xiao walked around the rooms with a worried look on his face.
He was not good at these things to begin with. He could see the problem but didn't know how to solve it.
When Shen Qingqian heard this, he quickly said, "Brother, I once saw a method in a book that can make a waterproof and windproof mud. We can try it."
"Waterproof and windproof mud" Shen Xiao was puzzled and really couldn't imagine what kind of mud it was.
Shen Qingqian felt that the explanation was a bit abstract, so she simply said, "I haven't seen it either, but I remember the recipe. We can try to make some first, and then we'll talk about it if it really works."
"Okay, then list the things you need and I'll ask your third and fourth brothers to find them." Shen Xiao nodded.
Shen Qingqian put down the rag and wrote on the ground some materials she had seen on the road just now.
It is impossible to produce cement in large quantities in Dajin, but it is possible to produce it in small batches for personal use by manpower.
What Shen Qingqian wants to make is concrete, which requires cement as the binder, sand and stone as aggregates, and then mixed with water in a certain proportion to get the finished product.
Sand, stone and water are easy to deal with, but cement is the trouble.
Early cement was actually a mixture of lime and volcanic ash. Lime was easy to obtain, but volcanic ash might be difficult to obtain in other places, but it was everywhere here.
On the way here just now, Shen Qingqian discovered that the place where they are now has probably experienced more than one crustal movement many years ago, so the topography is very special.
For example, some trees can still be seen outside the military camp where they are handling the handover, but where they live is much more desolate, and volcanic ash can be seen on the ground from time to time.
“Sixth sister, are you sure these things can make the kind of mud you mentioned?” Shen Yong looked at the words on the ground, a little bit unbelievable.
