"Boss, what is this? It feels similar to flour, but not as white as flour."
A craftsman reached out and grabbed a handful of cement, looked at it carefully, and then wanted to taste it with his tongue. Pei Yun was so upset that he stopped him immediately.
"This thing is called cement. Add river sand and water and mix well. Once it dries, it will become extremely hard. Leveling the ground is mainly for you to practice first. Once you are familiar with it, you can start building the house."
The five craftsmen were speechless when they heard Pei Yun's words.
This is an amateur.
Isn't it funny that this flour-like thing wants to build a house?
They have been in this industry for decades and have seen all kinds of building materials. The houses they have built cost at least eight hundred yuan.
Now Pei Yun said that this flour-like powder can be used to build houses and is extremely hard. This is not the way to brag.
If the other party was not a bandit, they would have wanted to spit at Pei Yun for fear of angering him.
You are good at being a bandit, but we are good at construction.
What the hell? You know nothing, yet you dare to brag in front of us. Do you know how to level the road?
Just three ways!
One is to compact the soil, which is the most common method, but it has poor durability and is easily damaged by rain.
The second method is to use gravel, spread the collected gravel evenly on the ground, and then compact it with tools. However, gravel is easy to roll and has poor stability.
The third is to pave stone slabs. This kind of flat road surface is the best, but stone mining is difficult and transportation is not easy.
There is no other way. Using flour-like powder to smooth the road surface as Pei Yun said is simply a fantasy.
We are professionals in house repair, okay!
Seeing the expressions of the five people, Pei Yun didn't say much to them. It was understandable that these craftsmen were so amazing at making such an epoch-making artifact as cement.
He also brought the river sand into the yard and said, "Watch carefully, I will teach you how to do it once."
The five craftsmen nodded, but they disagreed in their hearts.
Pei Yun took a small amount of cement, mixed it with river sand, added an appropriate amount of water, picked up a wooden stick and began to stir it.
After stirring evenly, Pei Yun asked Baldy to bring a wooden box that had been prepared in advance, and then poured the cement into it.
After the wooden box was filled, Pei Yun smiled and said, "You will know how magical this thing is later. It can be said to be indestructible. It cannot be cut by a knife or pierced by a sword."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a craftsman stretched out his finger and poked the wooden box, and immediately a hole was poked in the paste-like mixture.
Pei Yun: (﹁﹁)~→
Baldhead: ...
Five craftsmen: ...
The craftsman who raised his finger broke into a sweat. Is this what cannot be cut by a knife or pierced by a sword?
I can poke a hole with my finger!
Instead of using this thing to level the ground, it is better to use the current ground directly. After all, it is still soil, and at least it is harder than this thing.
Pei Yun did not expect that the craftsman was so naughty as to poke a hole with his hands. He felt a little tired.
"I told you it's going to get hard only after you do it. You'll know tomorrow."
Seeing Pei Yun return to the room, the five craftsmen smiled and thought that the boss was just being stubborn.
The bald man moved the wooden box to the corner. In fact, he didn't believe that this sticky-looking thing could become hard, but when he thought that the boss was the reincarnation of an immortal, everything became possible.
Early the next morning.
The bald man looked at the wooden box again. The cement inside had solidified. He poked it with his hand and found it was extremely hard. He was shocked and thought that the boss must have used some magic to make it hard last night.
He held the wooden box and ran towards Pei Yun's room.
"It's hard! The boss is hard!" the bald man shouted as he ran.
Pei Yun had already gotten up at this time, and he was very upset when he heard the bald man's words.
What do you mean I'm hard? This is so easy to be misunderstood, okay?
When I opened the door and went out, I saw the bald man running over with a wooden box in his arms, his face full of excitement, "Boss, this thing is hard."
"Stop yelling and go get those five craftsmen."
The bald man put down the wooden box and called the craftsmen. Soon five craftsmen arrived.
Pei Yun smiled and said, "Five of you, do you remember what I said yesterday?"
The five craftsmen had forgotten Pei Yun's words yesterday, and didn't take the cement seriously. When they heard Pei Yun's questions, they were all a little confused.
You said so much yesterday, how could we remember it all?
"Bald, take apart the wooden box."
Pei Yun gave an order, and the five craftsmen then remembered what happened with the cement yesterday. Some of them didn't take it seriously, thinking that they were called here for something, but in the end they were asked to look at this.
Didn’t we verify it yesterday? We could poke a hole in it with our fingers, proving the material was not good. Yet it could harden overnight, and none of the five people believed it.
At this moment, everyone was yawning as they watched the bald man unpack the wooden box.
The bald man dismantled the box violently and hit his head with the wooden box.
Snap!
One board broke, then the other two.
When the five craftsmen saw the square solid object in the bald man's hand, their eyes widened instantly. The finger holes on it proved that it was the piece from yesterday, which meant that after being left overnight, the thing really became hard.
Pei Yun took the hardened cement and smashed it onto the ground.
Bang!
The mud was splattered and the cement blocks were intact.
The five craftsmen swallowed their saliva, and one of them even said in a trembling voice, "This... this thing is so magical that it can become so hard after just one night. It's incredible."
This completely overturned their perception.
