The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again
Chapter 56 Only 521 bowls needed
Zhang Shizhong's arrival did not attract the attention of the people of Wuling County. They didn't even look at them.
Waiting for death is the most painful thing. Watching their loved ones die painfully in front of them, but being unable to do anything.
Faced with an incurable plague, I watched helplessly as the eyes of my loved ones went from bright and hopeful to dim, dry, and dilated pupils.
It was like a dream, they could clearly see them, but they could never catch them no matter how hard they tried. They watched them pass away, pale and powerless, unable to catch them! The unspeakable sadness enveloped their hearts every day.
They were abandoned by their own county magistrate. Although soldiers came to guard the county, they only locked them up in the county to prevent them from going out and spreading the epidemic.
After all, even if there was no massacre in the city, they would just be trapped here until the last person who survived here died.
"Fellow villagers, I'm sorry, I'm late. Don't be afraid, I've brought you medicine, and no one will die!"
Zhang Shizhong looked at this purgatory on earth, his heart ached and tears welled up in his eyes.
Silent crying, choking and blocked throat.
As he finished speaking, the people who looked like zombies all looked at him, their eyes moved slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of brilliance in their eyes.
After making sure that everyone had taken the medicine, he did not stay for long and rushed to the next stop, where there were equally desperate people waiting for him to save.
After several days of hard work, Chengjia Village finally built five large brick kilns, and the next step is to try to make bricks.
Brick making is divided into seven steps, namely, soaking the soil, mixing the mud, making the blanks, putting them on the shelf, loading the kiln, firing the kiln, and drinking the kiln.
Pour water on the clay, soak it thoroughly with water, stir it thoroughly to maximize the stickiness of the soil and achieve moderate water content, roll the outer circle of the mud ball with sand, put it into the bucket (the bucket is the mold for making bricks), pour it out in the cooling yard, put it on the shelf, and let the adobe dry.
Stack the dried adobe bricks in the kiln and burn them into bricks.
The adobe is fired into bricks and then sealed with soil on the top of the kiln, forming a circle with soil. Then, water is poured into the circle in the hope of using the water-induced change method to turn the fired bricks green.
The steps seem easy, but they are not so easy to operate.
Controlling temperature and humidity requires constant attempts and changes.
The past few days have been spent in the process of trial and error. Although we have failed and have not succeeded in making bricks, everyone is not discouraged. Instead, they are getting braver and braver, and their enthusiasm is high. With continuous attempts, they are getting closer and closer to success and have already made red bricks.
The quality of red bricks is not as good as that of green bricks. Red bricks are semi-finished products with lower hardness and are easy to break. Green bricks are relatively more breathable, absorb more water, and can maintain air humidity. They also have the highest hardness, so they continued to try.
Finally, after a few days, when the red bricks they had fired had piled up into a mountain, they finally saw the bricks in the earth circle slowly turning green.
At that moment, the whole audience was boiling, applause was thunderous, and people were excited.
There was a madman's light shining in everyone's eyes, endless joy between their brows, and excitement and pride that were difficult to conceal on their faces.
They have made blue bricks, which means they can all live in houses built with blue bricks.
In the future they can even sell bricks, making a fortune is a piece of cake.
With the technology of firing bricks, we can try firing tiles as well.
So people made bricks while studying how to make tiles.
The extra manpower rebuilt brick kilns and tile kilns nearby.
A lot of firewood is needed to make bricks, so those who don't know how to make bricks will go and chop firewood.
Making tiles is relatively more complicated than making bricks. The method of making adobe is the same as before. The tools needed to make tiles include tile tubes, tile coverings, polishing sheets, wire bows, rotating platforms, etc.
First, the kneaded adobe is made into "tiles" that are 120 cm long, 30 cm wide, and 150 cm high, and placed in a cool place next to the rotating platform.
The next step is to make tiles. Put the tile cylinder on a circular rotating platform, cover it with a tile cover made of cotton cloth, use a wire bow to cut a tile piece about two centimeters thick from the tile, lift the tile piece evenly with both hands, wrap it on the tile cylinder, rotate the rotating platform with your left hand, and use your right hand to hold a polishing pad dipped in water and evenly tap the tile piece until the surface is smooth and flat.
After completing these processes, hold the handle of the tile tube with your hand, pick up the tile tube, and put it in a bamboo basket filled with sawdust, so that the bottom of the tile tube is covered with sawdust. Then place the tile tube on the flat ground, remove the fixing lock of the tile tube with your hand, and pull it up hard. The tile tube will be separated from the tile blank and become a cylindrical tile blank.
Because there is a layer of gauze tile covering between the tile tube and the tile blank, they will not stick together and are easier to separate.
There are five micro-dividing lines designed on the tile cylinder. After the tile is dried in the shade, gently tap the two sides of the cylinder with your hands, and the cylindrical tile will split into four tiles.
However, this is a technical job. Due to lack of skills and inability to control the appropriate force, the tiles turn into a pile of crushed mud in their hands.
After the tiles are made, they should be stacked neatly and piled upright on the embankment to dry. After about a month of drying, they can be fired in the kiln.
The firing process of bricks and tiles is similar.
Whether the tiles can be successfully fired will have to wait a month to find out.
They made enough tiles to be able to fire successfully.
The brick kiln could produce thousands of bricks every day. After a few days, the open space outside the brick factory could no longer hold them.
So Cheng Dafu arranged for one person from each family to work in the brick factory, while the rest of the people went to prepare to build the house.
Cheng Zeli found the design drawings of the courtyard house in the space, and planned to temporarily build a two-story courtyard house with two entrances at home, and then expand it when he had more money.
Old Man Cheng was overjoyed when he got the blueprints. In his free time, he often took Old Man Cheng to the town to find work. He often assisted the bricklayer, and learned 90% of the master's skills by watching and listening.
The blueprint looks complicated, but it is not impossible to build. If it is built, it will be the first one in the area. Just thinking about it makes him proud. There will surely be many people who will ask him to build houses.
Old man Cheng worked so hard on the blueprint that he forgot to eat and sleep. Even his sleep was full of talk about building the house, which left Zhang speechless.
The people of Chengjia Village in the valley are actively starting a new life, and the situation at the foot of the mountain is also improving.
Because the general sent the prescription to each county magistrate in advance, and wrote letters to several neighboring county governors asking them to help collect medicinal materials and send them over for support, the epidemic was temporarily stabilized, the large number of deaths was reduced, and precious time was bought for their rescue.
Afterwards, he and Zhang Hu traveled day and night separately, going to various towns and delivering pills in time. In less than ten days, the epidemic was under control in most areas of Yinzhou County. After the people recovered, they gradually began to embrace a new life. Wherever they went, there was prosperity.
The once prosperous and bustling Yinzhou County is now nothing but corpses strewn across the ground, devastation and lifeless wailing.
The sun was scorching, the streets were empty, corpses were piled up on the roadside, flies and insects clung to the rotting bodies, and fat rats were dragging human limbs and arms through the streets.
There were hawking sounds coming from far away.
"Good news! Good news! Don't miss it if you pass by! The magic potion is on sale, it's sold at a loss, it used to sell for ten taels of silver, but now it only costs five taels of silver per bowl. I guarantee that this medicine will cure your illness and save your life. I guarantee that this medicine will cure your illness and save your life. Don't miss it if you pass by, five taels is five taels.
Come and buy it, everyone. Money is something outside of one's body. The most painful thing in life is that when you die, your money is still there! Don't throw your life away just to save a few taels of silver. It's not worth it! "
