It is better to wait for a while after the house is built, build a high wall outside the yard to tightly surround the house, and then put these solar charging panels in the yard of the house to be exposed to the sun for a few days, and then they can be fully charged. .

"...and I have already thought about the materials for building the yard wall." As he spoke, Jiang Wei pushed a piece of paper full of writing in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at it and saw that the cement manufacturing method was neatly written on this piece of paper in calligraphy.

She couldn't help but be stunned: "Mom, it turns out that you asked people to build the kiln because..."

It turns out that it is not for firing glass, but for making cement...

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the recipe written by her mother. Clay, bricks, slag... various proportions were recorded in detail to make cement. One of the most important materials was quicklime.

These three words were carefully circled by her mother with a brush.

Quicklime is indispensable as accelerating cement setting agent.

Quicklime is not easy to get in this era. The rest of the clay, bricks and slag can be bought at the blacksmith shop or brick kiln shop in the town. However, this quicklime is probably not available in the entire town, so you have to bake it yourself.

And quicklime must be made from limestone calcined in a fierce fire. No wonder her mother had to use refractory bricks to build a kiln. The temperature required to burn lime is not low...

"Find time to go to the mountains tomorrow..." Jiang Wei tapped the paper on the table and began to arrange the tasks for tomorrow.

The stones needed to burn lime had to be found in the mountains. She figured out this recipe based on memory, but she had not yet put it into practice. Whether cement can be made according to this ratio remains to be tested.

"Okay! I will go to the mountains with my mother tomorrow!" Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded and said happily.

It would be great if we could successfully create cement before building a house!

As a modern person, no one knows the benefits of cement better than she does.

Cement is a very good building material. It can bond the floor tiles and wall tiles used in building houses, strengthen the adsorption capacity of building materials and the base layer, become more stable, and can also protect the internal structure. Compared with the commonly used water plus clay and straw in this era, cement The adhesive produced by mixing is infinitely better.

She was originally worried, what if the snow disaster in the original book happened?

It is said that a long-term drought will lead to a major disaster, not to mention that the original book of this book is also a disaster article. After today's severe drought in the summer, in winter there will be a snow disaster that is rare in decades.

As described in the original book, a heavy snowstorm overwhelmed many houses, because most of the people in the village lived in adobe and thatched houses, which were not strong enough. Once it snowed heavily, or there were strong winds or rainstorms, the houses would not be able to hold up at all.

However, this is not the worst.

The large area where they are located is almost covered by heavy snow. The mountain roads in counties, towns and villages are buried by heavy snow, and bridges are broken by heavy snow and are impassable.

Many people who went out were trapped in the mountains or other places, unable to return home, and froze to death.

What's more, some families don't have enough food. Even if they have money, they can't go out to buy food. The roads are blocked by heavy snow, and people can't pass through. They can only stay at home to freeze and starve.

It's not autumn yet, so regardless of these things, Jiang Xiaoxiao was originally thinking of ways to remind her mother to strengthen the house at home, but unexpectedly, her mother took the initiative to propose a way to build a house with cement.

This made the big stone in her heart that she had been holding drop completely.

There was no need to worry about food for the winter. The food in her mother's space would not be enough for a few lifetimes. Now that the only problem she was worried about was the house, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Early the next morning, the mother and daughter went to Qiulian's natal home early to settle the wages for the past few days and asked her to inform everyone that they no longer need to work at her house.

"Okay." Qiu Lianniang nodded in agreement.

It just so happens that the autumn harvest will be here in a few days, and women whose families own farmland cannot spare any time to do this work.

The mother and daughter returned home and were worried that the goods from several restaurants in the town had not yet been delivered, when they happened to see Sister Chunmiao coming.

Jiang Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead and realized that she forgot to tell them that they didn't have to work.

Chunmiao was about to go to the kitchen to get glutinous rice flour as usual, when she was stopped by Jiang Wei: "Chunmiao, from today on, you don't have to come to my house to make ice cream and ice cream."

When Chun Miao heard this, she couldn't help but lower her head in disappointment.

Because of this job, the three of them, mother and daughter, could still survive on the wages even though they moved out to live in that dilapidated thatched hut.

But if they lose this job, they will have no land in this village, I'm afraid...

She was still distressed, and Jiang Wei turned around and said, "Chun Miao, I have other work for you to do -"

While talking, Old Man Zhao also arrived. Jiang Wei showed a smile on his face, pointed to the carriage at home, and said: "You and Uncle Zhao go to the town to help me deliver goods. There are seven or eight in total. You have to go door to door." Go and make sure the goods are delivered to the shopkeeper. I will give you fifteen cents a day, can you do it?"

She has also thought about arranging delivery for a long time. This job has no technical content. She has long wanted to arrange this job for others, so that she can free up time to do other things.

"Yes!" Chunmiao nodded hurriedly, with a firm face, "Don't worry, Aunt Jiang, I will definitely deliver the goods!"

Jiang Wei nodded with satisfaction. Chun Miao was not too young, so she was relieved to take over the job.

After moving a few freezers into the carriage, Jiang Wei gave Chunmiao some instructions on how to deal with the shopkeepers in the town. In addition to delivering the goods to the shopkeepers, this job also required collecting nearly ten taels of silver to take home every day. This was not just a job. A small amount of money.

She originally wanted Qiulian Niang to do the work, but thinking about it, the autumn harvest was approaching, and her family had a lot of fields, so she probably couldn't spare the time, so she simply let Chun Miao do the work.

Old man Zhao drove the carriage and left with Chunmiao and a carriage of freezers.

Chunya looked at her sister who was walking away, with envy in her eyes.

My sister can make money to support the family, but she...

Chun Ya felt a little sad. Suddenly Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled her sleeve and said softly: "Sister Chun Ya, my mother also wants to ask you for help."

Eight-year-old Chunya's eyes lit up.

Jiang Wei pointed to the chicken coop, sheep shed and rabbit nest in the yard, and said: "You come here every day to help my family take care of these poultry, clean up the feces, sweep the floor, feed and water the chickens, sheep and rabbits, I How about giving you three cents a day?"

Chunmiao nodded vigorously, then shook her head and said weakly: "Aunt Jiang, I don't want the wages. Can you exchange the wages for rabbits? Just give me a rabbit..."
