Chapter 44

However, Chen Wenzhe knew that Chen Qinglin was definitely a rich man, not to mention the salary he earned in the past few years as a soldier, but his wife's house was enough to feed his whole family for three generations.

Such a rich guy, just search like this?Free labor and free materials?
As long as the house is built like this, what is the use?

It's not that people can't live in it, but that this kind of ancient house is not comfortable for modern people to live in.

Thinking of building a house, countless pictures naturally flashed in Chen Wenzhe's mind.

This is the method of using gold bricks that was acquired by the way when receiving the inheritance of gold bricks, including the craftsmanship of building houses.

In a trance, Chen Wenzhe knew all the details of building the house like the back of his hand.

Suihou's Pearl plus system is just so awesome.

As long as he keeps accepting inheritance tasks, he can always use it and learn countless knowledge.

This is Chen Wenzhe's most precious wealth. After all, only when he has learned how to do it can he be considered his own.

Knowing how to use existing materials to build a house made him feel even more wrong.

"Second brother, it's not impossible to use mud to build walls, but you are not qualified to live with mud, forget it, let me do it!"

No matter what Chen Qinglin thinks, since he did this, brothers must help.

If he didn't know how to build a house, Chen Wenzhe would naturally not be brave, but he knows how now.

"Wen Zhe still builds houses?"

"Don't be brave, building a house is no joke!"

Seeing Chen Wenzhe's posture, the elders all spoke.

There is no way, Chen Wenzhe can only explain, after all, all the elders work here, and as for the young people, they all go out to work.

"Gentlemen, I don't think Brother Qinglin is joking. Since you want to build a good house, you must use good materials. The mud is also different. This kind of cooked soil will not work. At least you must use yellow mud. With too much sand."

"Huh? Wen Zhe really knows how to build a house? Qinglin brought your blueprint over to show to the college students, you are just messing around!" Chen Jianguo said.

After taking the blueprints, Chen Wenzhe's expression changed.

This is a rendering of a small courtyard. The main room in the middle is a small two-story attic with a raised ridge.

The left and right wing rooms are complete, as well as the east room, west room and south room.

Coupled with the abundant gate walls and the overhanging ridge gate tower, such a house, the ancient landlords did not dare to think about it!

"Second brother, can't we spend more money to build such a house?"

Chen Wenzhe pointed to the uncles and aunts who were helping. How dare he live in these houses built by the old, weak, sick and disabled?
"What? Wen Zhe still looks down on us?" Chen Jianguo said with a smile.

"How dare you, are you already seventy?"

Chen Wenzhe gave his second elder brother a blank look. The youngest he called for help must be in his fifties.

Chen Qinglin said helplessly: "We work for six hours a day, divided into four time periods. Slow work produces fine work!"

"Why do you want to build an old-fashioned house?" Chen Wenzhe was still very surprised.

Chen Jianguo said: "Isn't she the second daughter-in-law? She looked down on our countryside and didn't want to come here to celebrate the New Year. Qinglin got angry and said that she would build a good house. She didn't know what to say. She said it didn't cost much. Is it like this now?"

"Your second sister-in-law said that she is a lady, so I will build her a compound, the compound where the landlord's family lives. What else can she say?"

When Chen Qinglin said this, he was still a little angry.

Chen Wenzhe had met his second sister-in-law, and knew that she was a well-educated woman. Chen Qinglin's stubbornness must be at work.

However, it's too late to say anything now, let's help build the house!

"In this case, let's build it. I think the foundation has been dug, and these stones are ready-made, and there is no need to trim them. After the mud is cured, add some lime, and the foundation can be laid. If you speed up, you can do it today." It can be finished and the wall can be built tomorrow."

There is no shortage of yellow mud in the village, but there is no sandy yellow mud, so it is very difficult to dig.

That kind of yellow mud is also called steel tripping soil. Steel doesn't need to be explained, it is strong.

What does stumbling mean?It's just sticky. When you shovel it, the soil will stick to the shovel, so digging this kind of soil is very laborious.

It was this kind of soil that Chen Wenzhe was looking for earlier.

However, you don’t have to be too picky when building a house, you can add some sand, after all, you need to add lime to prevent moisture and strengthen it!
"You don't need cement, you need a lot of mud, I'll find someone to dig it!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Jianguo gave Chen Qinglin a hard look.

Needless to say, he was also very dissatisfied with his son's decision.

Next, under the coordination of Chen Wenzhe, many stones were evenly distributed in front of the foundation pit.

When their side was busy, a tractor drove over.

This time loess, or clay, is more suitable.

There is no difficulty in laying the foundation with living mud, but Chen Wenzhe added an earth dragon to the house.

That is to say, the earth way of heating in ancient times is not difficult, just design the flue so that the heat in the chimney can be sucked away.

A well-designed flue can circle the entire house, and the stronger the suction, the warmer the house in winter.

If it is summer, if there is circulating water, it can even suck the cool air from the groundwater to cool down the house.

It can be said that if this flue is completed, the house will be warm in winter and cool in summer.

Although the workload increased, Chen Qinglin was happy when Chen Wenzhe said it.

This time, he was not obsessed with building the house without spending money, and directly hired a small digger to dig the foundation again.

At the beginning, no one believed that Chen Wenzhe would build a house, but when he started to do it, everyone began to be convinced.

For example, now, a group of two or three people is already rapidly filling the foundation.

This is much more efficient than their original work.

In fact, there is no technical content in this, but a reasonable overall arrangement.

Three people cooperate, two people carry the stones, and one person carries the mud. It is divided into five or six sections, and the construction is carried out quickly.

The work was not tiring, and the speed was fast. Sure enough, it only took half a day, and the entire foundation had been filled.

Next, it's not easy to do, because you need to build stones.

The volunteers here are all middle-aged and elderly people, so they cannot be used as livestock.

"The next speed can be slower."

It was really not difficult to just throw the stone in front of me into the foundation pit, so Chen Wenzhe was freed after doing it for a while.

"The speed of building the wall is very fast. After all, they are old-fashioned." Chen Qinglin said.

Naturally, Chen Wenzhe knew that most of the men in the village were masons, and it was no problem to do this kind of work, mainly because they were too old.

"If you want to build a good house, the red bricks you fired are not good, the quality is too poor."

Chen Wenzhe naturally brought up the topic of burning bricks. He needs to accumulate some experience in advance, at least he needs to get a brick kiln for nothing.
