Agriculture Idol

Chapter 18 The First Girder

"To build scaffolding, usually start from a certain point of the house, and fix the logs one by one." Brother Xiaoyong said, holding a vertical log in his hand, standing on a certain corner of the foundation At the corner, Li Chengxin was holding a horizontal log beside him, "Using a thick iron wire called annealed wire and a tool called a sharp-tailed wrench, wrapping the iron wire around the intersection of the logs, and then using a pointed-tailed wrench Pull the wire while tightening it. This way the log can be crossed and fixed, and finally use the other end of the pointed tail wrench to knock the wire head into it, so that it will not hang vertically on people.”

"Hey, it's amazing!" This was the first time for Li Chengxin to watch this technique up close.

After Brother Xiaoyong taught Li Chengxin a few times, he asked Li Chengxin to go to the other side to build scaffolding.

During the process of assembling the logs, the strength of the entire scaffold will gradually increase.In the plan, the scaffolding is composed of more than 80 logs, which at least makes the wood collected by the two people useful.

Brother Xiaoyong set up the live broadcast mobile phone by the sea where he could see the whole picture of their work. The two started to build the scaffolding in the morning, and when they came back to their senses, they realized that they hadn't rested at all.

It wasn't until the third uncle came over with food at noon that the two of them stopped and completed the scaffolding on both sides and one layer in a long time.

Brother Xiaoyong opened the thermos cup containing the soup: "Wow, it smells so good!"

"This is fish ball soup. I went out to sea to catch a few flying fish two nights ago." The third uncle smiled, "You two boys, are you so busy that you didn't notice that I'm not at home these days?"

Li Chengxin smiled awkwardly. He had indeed not seen his third uncle for a few days.He thought that the third uncle only went to grow vegetables in the field during the day, and he himself left early and returned late, and fell asleep as soon as he returned to the woodshed of the third uncle, and had no chance to say hello to the third uncle.

Brother Xiaoyong poured the fish ball soup into the bowl brought by his third uncle, and took a big mouthful: "It's delicious!"

"That's not true. This soup is boiled with fish bones all night, and I made fish balls for more than an hour." Third Uncle said proudly, "You two also pay attention to supplementing nutrition, don't eat casually every day."

Just as he was talking, the small figure of Guapi rushed over from the beach, wagging its tail, and rubbed against Li Chengxin's feet.

"Hey, you have a good nose!" Li Chengxin patted Guapi's little head, waited for Guapi to sit down, and gave it a fish ball.

【Ding!Congratulations, the host reputation has reached 10000. 】

Suddenly, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly made a sound.

[The host is asked to receive the reward and draw the prestige treasure chest. 】

A blue box appeared in Li Chengxin's vision.

[The automatic pick-up function is activated, and the prestige treasure box is successfully collected. 】

The blue box in the field of vision opens automatically.

[The host gets a "Midi Card". 】

[Midi Card: Using the Midi Card, you will get a loyal male fan with unique skills. 】

[Do you use it now? (Choose "No", the Midi card will be stored in the inventory)]

【whether】

Li Chengxin silently controlled the system interface with his eyes and chose "No".

He thought to himself: If it was a "fan girl card", I might use it. I am a disqualified idol, what kind of male fan do I want!

----------

After another two days, the two-story scaffolding was finally completed.

Scaffolding was set up in the shape of surrounding the foundation of the houseboat, and wooden boards were laid on the place where people had to walk.

Next, on the first floor of the houseboat, six reinforcement columns on the left and right, with an interval of one meter, were erected.Then continue to use the simple mortise and tenon structure to add beams to the columns, and the beams must also be connected between the first three sets of beams and columns at the same time.

More than a month after the construction of the houseboat started, even Li Chengxin, a "white-skinned brother" with no construction work experience, could use a hand saw to process a simple mortise and tenon structure.At the same time, I can also cooperate with Xiaoyong more skillfully, and I can help more when building the boat house.

This day's work is another heavyweight, that is to lift the beam weighing 200 kilograms to the ceiling of the first floor three meters above the ground.

Using scaffolding, Brother Xiaoyong had already made a pulley block on each side.On average, Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong can pull the girder up with a pulling force of 50 kilograms each.

While pulling the girder, Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong should also pay attention to the uniform speed of the force, so that the girder can rise steadily.If one side is pulled faster, the girder will tilt over, causing the entire pulley block to tilt towards the other side.

When the girder finally reached the designated height safely, the main event began.

Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong fixed the rope holding the girder, and climbed up to the same side of the scaffold first.To insert the girder into the hole drilled on the beam, the two of them worked hard together to lift one end of the girder, worked together to let the tenon rest on one side of the mortise, and then went to the other side of the scaffold, and put the other end of the girder on the Position close to the mortise.

At this time, each of them took a wooden hammer and tapped the girder bit by bit, so that the tenons on both sides of the girder automatically fell into the mortise holes on the beam at the same time. Finally, the self-weight of the girder made the mortise and tenon fit tightly. .

"It's really tiring to do this job." Brother Xiaoyong just lay on the scaffolding and didn't want to move.

Li Chengxin was lying on the scaffolding and couldn't get up: "I suddenly remembered, is there a custom here to treat guests when the house is erected?"

"Do you think you still have the strength to cook and entertain guests?"

"Forget it, you'd better let me lie on my stomach..."

"Just wait, according to the structure of the houseboat I drew, we still have a girder to install, and it's not too late to treat guests at that time."

"I'm so desperate." Li Chengxin was speechless.

Putting up the skeleton of a houseboat is a very arduous task, and Xiaoyong, the main builder, often needs to go to work with Uncle Zhengwen and Uncle Zhengwu.Leaving Li Chengxin alone, he could only do some simple preparations.

Before Brother Xiaoyong is free to move the second girder with Li Chengxin, what Li Chengxin can do is to install the timber called "joist" vertically on the part of the girder that has already been built. This is the first floor. ceiling, and the floor of the second floor.

When he was about to move the wooden boards placed on the joists to the second floor, Lin Yiyi came, along with Brother Xiaoyong who was supposed to build a house in the town.Li Chengxin knew immediately that the next interview task was coming.

"This time, what we received was not an interview from our own village." Lin Yiyi raised the key point at the beginning.

It turned out that a friend of Lin Yiyi was a village official in a township under Dongshan City inland. Their village is located in a plain area, and their agriculture is much more developed than that of Hongming Village, but sales are always insufficient.

After watching the live broadcast of helping farmers in Hongming Village, he wanted to go to their village with Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong to help the farmers there to do a live broadcast of helping farmers.

"We've only done live broadcasts like that twice, and the reputation has already spread to the inland?" Brother Xiaoyong was a little excited.

Lin Yiyi smiled and said: "It's not that easy, I helped you promote it in the college student village official group. But if you do well this time, maybe more other places will invite you to do live broadcasts of helping farmers. Round-trip air tickets and meals are included~"

"So, even if I go out of the village to do live broadcasts, I still don't get paid?" Li Chengxin was helpless, but he did believe that doing live broadcasts in another area might attract more netizens from other places to pay attention to him.At least now, what Li Chengxin needs is not money, but contribution value in the system.

Look at the considerable savings and the stable salary that the brokerage company continued to pay him. Although it is not much, he lives in the village and does not have much money to spend. At most, he goes to the town every few days to cut two Jin pork, buy some fruit.

Soon, the event to Dongshan City was finalized.

Li Chengxin entrusted the melon skin to his third uncle, cleaned himself up, and went to Dongshan City with Brother Xiaoyong and Lin Yiyi.
