In addition to making mosquito coils, Shi Qingluo began to breed Polygonum multiflorum every day.
Her space is filled with seeds and seedlings collected in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In addition to crops and fruits, there are also many medicinal materials.
One of them is He Shouwu.
For the development of the county, and to not worry about using He Shou Wu Saponin shampoo in the future, she also made great efforts this time.
The new house is almost finished.
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng went to see it together today.
Looking at the soil on the ground in the house and the yard, if there is a puddle of water, the shoes will get dirty as soon as you step on them.
And Shi Qingluo suddenly remembered a question.
The floor tiles and tiles on Bai Xu's side have already appeared, and the first batch will be given to them for home use.
But she suddenly remembered that the floor tiles and tiles should be pasted by mixing cement and sand ash.
There is no cement yet.
She pulled Xiao Hanzheng and asked, "Old Xiao, I want to tinker with something that benefits the country and the people. Do you think we should do it ourselves, or go to Mo Qingling?"
Xiao Hanzheng thinks of good things for his little daughter-in-law from time to time, and he is used to it.
"What is it? You can be specific."
Shi Qingluo described, "a thing called cement."
"After using it, it is very smooth on the ground, and it is more durable than a dirt road. In rainy days and water, the shoes will not get muddy."
"The key is that the floor tiles and tiles need to use this stuff."
"By the way, when building a reservoir or something, if you mix it with cement and stone, it will be much firmer. It's more durable than glutinous rice, and the cost is much lower."
"It can also be used for building houses, bridges, etc."
"The point is that paving is particularly useful."
In ancient times, many durable works were mixed with glutinous rice and slaked lime to make a paste, which was then filled in the voids of the masonry.
And cement can completely replace this.
There has always been a saying in modern times, "Build roads before you get rich." Shi Qingluo felt that it was the same in ancient times.
If the road from Xiaxi Village to Nanxi County is paved with cement, the time spent traveling back and forth will definitely be saved by half.
The key is that transportation will be much more convenient and faster.
When Xiao Hanzheng heard the latter, he realized that the cement was unusual.
As the little daughter-in-law said, it is really something that benefits the country and the people.
He thought for a while, "Let's work with Mo Qingling."
"With our current status, it is easy to be targeted and taken over."
Before was just an ice-making method, there were the Wu family and the prefect.
Once this cement came out, there were definitely more people staring at it.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Okay, then go and talk to Mo Qingling."
"When the time comes, let's open a cement workshop in the village first, and let people who want to buy cement come to the village to buy it, and continue to drive popularity."
If there is a cement recipe, Mo Qingling will definitely offer it.
How to do it in the capital, whether it is to use cement or sell it, has limited impact on their own selling.
The key customers she is now developing are in the surrounding counties and prefectures, and then gradually spread out.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Okay, I can talk to Mo Qingling about this."
They can come up with cement recipes, but they have to open a cement workshop in their village to sell cement publicly.
Shi Qingluo suggested, "Should we fiddle with the cement first, lay it on the yard and the path outside, and then invite Mo Qingling to see it?"
Just saying that the other party can't understand the function of cement, it is better to see it with your own eyes.
Xiao Hanzheng chuckled and said, "We thought of being together again."
I like the little daughter-in-law, not only because of her agility and cuteness, but also because of the feeling of soul fit.
What she thought, he could understand.
What he thinks, she can think and understand, they have a lot of common language.
As he said, he did it. After Shi Qingluo returned to the old house, he took out the time-travel book and copied down the earth-method cement recipe on it.
When Xiao Hanzheng returned to his room, he showed it to him and asked him to buy materials.
It mainly requires limestone, clay, iron ore, and coal. If iron ore is not available, the **** left after iron smelting can also be used for grinding.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at the ingredients on the recipe, "I'll take someone to buy it tomorrow."
These can be bought in the county seat.
Shi Qingluo said with a smile, "Well, it's hard work, you ran away recently."
Xiao Xianggong is really capable of literature and martial arts, and he is also very strong in foreign affairs.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled, "My lady has been working very hard recently."
He saw that she was breeding Polygonum multiflorum every day, taking care of the shipment of mosquito coils workshop, running to the floor tile workshop, and also watching the house repair, which made him feel distressed.
But it can be seen that the little daughter-in-law likes such a busy and fulfilling life very much, so he turns a blind eye.
Just help her share as much as you can.
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng went to buy materials, and the two called a few strong and trustworthy villagers to work on the cement together.
Shi Qingluo has never made cement before, although there are approximate proportions on the recipe.
But after repeated experiments countless times, I found the right proportion and practical operation, and fiddled with the cement that was satisfactory.
Then he asked the craftsmen who built the house at home to help, and covered the yard with cement except for the places where flowers and fruit trees were planted.
The path at the gate of the courtyard is also paved with a concrete road, which leads directly to the village.
It was the first time the villagers saw this kind of smooth and level land, and they all came to watch.
"This road is really well built, and Dalang's wife is also amazing."
"It's great that the water won't stain the shoes with water."
"I heard that this is a cement shop, and Dalang's wife fiddled with it."
"Maybe it's the old **** who gave Dalang's wife a dream again."
"The Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain is about to be repaired, right? When it is repaired, we must go and worship."
"It's coming, it's over, let's go to incense often in the future."
The patriarch, the patriarch, and others were the first to see such a ground and road.
Everyone was excited, "Okay! This cement is really good stuff."
"In the future, if our village is rich, we will make a pool and use this cement to pave the road."
"It's a good feeling, and it's easy to come and go when it's raining or snowing."
"It would be nice if you could spread one to the county seat, and it would save effort for the trolley to pull on it."
The villagers thought about it one by one.
At this meeting, Mo Qingling was also invited by Xiao Hanzheng.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I heard what the villagers were discussing.
After Mo Qingling got off the bus, he asked the yamen to ask the villagers to give in temporarily.
then instructed the driver of the carriage to rush to the concrete road to try it out.
Really fast and steady, this road is really good.
He went to Xiao's new house to have a look. There is this kind of cement paving in the yard, which looks more beautiful and more convenient than the soil.
is also more hassle-free and cost-effective than paving stones.
Then someone tapped it with a hoe, a cement board that was deliberately made and dried in the sun.
It has been smashed a lot, but none of it is broken, which means it is indeed very stable.
He naturally also thought of other uses such as building dams and building bridges in addition to paving roads.
"This cement is a good thing."
He looked at Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng and asked, "Cement recipe, do you want to offer it?"
As soon as the effect comes out, he will be called to see it, which means that the prescription will be offered.
This cement recipe is much more important than ice making, which is really good for the country and the people.
There is one more update tonight. I will get up and write two chapters tomorrow morning~ Mid-Autumn Festival, I will try my best to update the fifth update~~
