Chapter 91 You are really good at boasting, don’t do it next time (please read on)
Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Fifth Master Qiao sang: "Start work!"
It's kind of like that.
Immediately, the young master bricklayers began to go to the house to remove the tiles.
Joe Wuye followed the marks left by the village homestead surveyors and began to sprinkle lime.
Wu Yuan was accompanied on the outside.
After accompanying him, I found out: "Hey, fifth master, your lime thread is quite neat."
"How fresh!" Fifth Master Qiao curled his lips, showing no lack of pride, "It's like someone praising your ink fountain for playing well."
As an old carpenter, Wu Yuan smacked it. If someone really praised the ink fountain for playing well, he just wanted to say: You really know how to praise people, so don’t do it next time.
After all, if there were other things to boast about, it would never be about playing the ink fountain.
Not long after, Mr. Qiao Wu straightened up, and the baseline of the small building was already on the ground.
Beating the old man's waist, Master Qiao Wu said with emotion: "It's old after all!"
Immediately ordered Wu Yuan: "Call your small workers to dig the foundation. The depth should not be lower than 80 cm. This cannot be discounted."
"okay."
Wu Yuan responded, and called Zhang Yan, the daughter-in-law of the Ming army, Miao Hong, the daughter-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, and the aunt next door.
These daughter-in-laws in the countryside are all capable.
He is also very enthusiastic about helping his family.
In the past two wedding banquets, they were all needed to help.
It's just helping out at the running table, and it's not good for people to settle wages.
Now that he is helping out as a small worker, Wu Yuan can justifiably pay them wages.
Zhang Yan, Miao Hong, and Aunt Dai rushed over after hearing the sound, carrying a shovel.
Wu Yuan explained by drawing the lime line.
Before finishing speaking, Zhang Yan said carelessly: "Master, you don't need to say more. We have dug the foundation, and it is guaranteed to be big and deep enough!"
Since this is the case, Wu Yuan simply stopped talking nonsense and said, "Then thank you all for your hard work."
So more than a dozen female soldiers spat their saliva into the palms of their hands, rubbed their saliva, raised their shovels, and dug officially.
Digging foundations is hard work.
No one is willing to do this in later generations, and it has been completely replaced by mechanized operations such as excavators.
Actually, Wu Yuan also wanted to find an excavator to dig.
Not only saves manpower, but the progress is also fast.
It's a pity that the conditions these years are really lackluster.
The township construction station has no machinery except for a handful of coolies.
As soon as the arrangements were made here, Fifth Master Qiao stood in the yard and called Wu Yuan to come over.
Wait until Wu Yuan passed by, and Qiao Wuye pointed to the criss-crossing circles and lines on the drawing and asked in confusion, "What are these?"
Wu Yuan explained: "This is a pre-buried sewer pipe, which is convenient for bathing and going to the toilet in the building."
"Oh, just like the buildings in the city, you can't go out for eating and drinking." Fifth Master Qiao suddenly realized: "That's so delicious!"
"It can be flushed with water. You see, fifth master, on the east side of the tool room, there is a water tank that is as high as the chimney of the kitchen. The water pipes leading from here extend to the toilets and bathrooms upstairs and downstairs. Doesn't it mean that there is running water? Is it gone?"
Master Qiao Wu tsk-tsk said: "Western style! Can this water pressure be guaranteed?"
"The water tank can be built a little higher."
"That's close. But where does the water go?"
"There are two ways to drain water. One way enters this three-stage filter septic tank, and the other way domestic sewage goes directly into the drainage ditch."
"This septic tank is made of bricks, and the top is still sealed. What if you use farmyard manure? What if it is full?"
“The top is sealed with a cement cover, which is convenient for future maintenance.”
"I thought it would be a luxury for you kid to use a reinforced concrete frame structure, but I didn't expect that even a small hut would cost so much. Tsk tsk, it seems that your kid has really made a lot of money in the past two years."
Actually, Wu Yuan wanted to do far more than that.
If it weren’t for the shortage of electricity in the countryside and the lack of gas, he even wanted to make water heaters and whole house heating.
Unlike the current design drawings, only the relevant hot water pipe network and cold water pipe network can be reserved. Whether it is an electric boiler, electric water heater, or solar water heater, it can be easily connected.
After hearing Qiao Wuye's words, Wu Yuan interrupted with a smile: "Look at what you said, Wuye, no matter how much money I earn, I don't have as much salt as you used to eat."
"Good guy, are you the fifth master? Did I grow up eating salt?"
"Fifth Master, I'm just making an analogy."
"But you are really smart, kid. Design institutes in counties and cities may not be able to produce such blueprints. It's time for you to make a lot of money and make a fortune."
Actually, Wu Yuan had already memorized these blueprints in his mind.
After earning some money in the previous life, I always wanted to go back to my hometown and build a small villa, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court in my free time, and watch the clouds roll and cloud in the sky when I sit.
Unfortunately, the blueprints filled my mind, but the villa was never built.
Now it has been realized ahead of schedule.
"Fifth Master, you've flattered me again."
"I'm telling the truth. I'm not like the fourth brother. If I leave such a good apprentice without help, I will suffer for my face."
"Fifth Master, Master has done a good job."
"What a fart! Wait until he finishes punching those rows of chairs in the auditorium, and wait to drink the northwest wind!"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.
Wu Yuan remembered Wu Ye's words in his heart.
In just one day, the old hall was completely demolished.
Although the main house has just been built for a few years, the prefabricated blocks used to build the walls, due to the lack of steel bars and insufficient cement components, collapsed into pieces when they fell down.
But the foundation has only just begun. Looking at the progress, it is estimated that it will take about a week.
Wu Yuan's estimation was very accurate.
A week later, the foundation was finally dug after Zhang Yan and a dozen women soldiers worked day and night.
While commanding the reinforcement workers to go into battle, Mr. Qiao Wu began to mix cement, sand and stones.
The original hydraulic well has long since been dismantled, and a water pump has been installed.
Otherwise, relying solely on manpower to press the well to produce water will have to be pressed to the end of time.
The other thing is the concrete mixer, which was borrowed by Wu Yuan from Beiyin City after asking Yang Ben with great effort.
If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.
With this mixer, concrete is much faster to make.
In the blink of an eye, on the third day, March 25, the most costly foundation was finally completed.
Master Qiao Wu commanded Zhang Yan and the women's army, and backfilled the earthwork by 20 centimeters, just to make the foundation of the small building slightly higher than the surrounding vegetable fields.
It saves the trouble of hauling the earth and increases the depth of the foundation.
For a one-meter-deep foundation, it is more than enough to build a three-story building with a height of 10 meters.
Besides, Wu Yuan only planned to build a two-story building with an attic.
Once the foundation is laid, the wall can be built very quickly.
Wu Yuan didn't even need to supervise the work.
If anyone is crooked, Fifth Master Qiao can scold him bloody.
But if you get scolded, you get scolded. If you make a mistake, you have to do it all over again. No one is talking nonsense.
One is because Mr. Qiao Wu is indeed an authority in this area, and his words are useful; the other is that the food that the master manages every day is too rich. In addition to no wine, there are fish, meat, and cigarettes, which is enough.
Such conditions are hard to find with a lantern.
So if you are scolded a few times, you can just scold a few times, and you won’t lose a piece of meat anyway.
I have to say thank you three times, thank you Yanzu Yifei for your great support yesterday! Please continue to study hard for another day today, and I will stop chattering tomorrow, and let everyone have a quiet reading environment. After all, everyone didn't come to see me to babble. Thank you everyone, come on! The third shift is over, see you tomorrow!
