Seeing that Rascal Zhao remained silent but could not hide the coveting look in his eyes, Widow Xu knew that Rascal Zhao was a lustful person but not bold, and she couldn't help but sneered in her heart.

I think it was not because Zhao Lailai dared to treat her like this because she was a widow in the village and had no power and no relatives in the village to stand up for her.

She sneered in her heart, but it didn't show on her face at all. She said with a smile: "The Jiang family is so rich, and they have even built big brick houses now. If anyone marries her, let alone the ice cream business, it will be the Jiang family." All the money and the house belong to him.”

Listening to Widow Xu's words, the longing in Zhao Lailai's heart became even stronger. He couldn't help but start to fantasize that as long as he married Jiang Wei, he would be able to live in that spacious and bright blue brick house and be able to live in it every day. Taking a carriage to the town, eating white rice every day, and even Jiang Wei lying low to serve himself...

The more he thought about it, the hotter his heart became. Looking at Widow Xu's face, he gradually became disgusted.

Widow Xu was quite pretty in Yuhe Village, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to control his lower body in the first place, but standing with Jiang Wei was simply incomparable.

Jiang Wei's figure and face are even more beautiful than Widow Xu. If he married her, it would be really...

Widow Xu had no idea that Rascal Zhao had already compared herself with Jiang Wei, and was still encouraging Rascal Zhao: "Hey, this woman's family, no matter how she pretends to be a chaste and martyr woman on the surface, can she be willing to be with a man only if her body belongs to a man. A man lives his life... I think back then, you were too strong on me."

By the end of her words, Widow Xu had made it very obvious.

Zhao Lailai had obviously heard it in his heart, and his eyes started to roll.

……

Time quickly came to the next day.

It was just dawning, and Master Zheng brought his apprentices to the Jiang family.

He did not enter the yard, but went to the construction site without stopping.

Yesterday, the cement used to lay the bricks was not dry yet, and the specific effect had not yet fully appeared. However, after a whole night, the cement used to lay the bricks had completely dried. Master Zheng stretched out his hand and touched it hard, and his heart was instantly filled with turmoil.

This thing is indeed the same as the thing poured for the foundation yesterday, indestructible!

With his decades of experience in building houses, he absolutely believed that the wall made of this thing could not be damaged even by thunder and artillery!

If, if... this thing is used to build city walls to resist foreign enemies, then there is no need to worry about border defense anymore...

In his excitement, this idea ran through Master Zheng's mind.

More than 30 workers came to Jiang's house one after another and started today's construction.

Qiu Lianniang and Sister Zhao also began to work in the kitchen, where the ingredients needed for today's cooking were also laid out.

"Hey, when did Aunt Jiang prepare the pork?" Chunmiao, who came to help, saw half a fan of pork prepared in advance in the kitchen and couldn't help but wonder, "This pork is very fresh, as if it was just slaughtered... "

Jiang Xiaoxiao walked in carrying a basket of eggs and said after hearing this: "My mother pre-ordered these in the town in advance. The owner of the pork stall finished killing them and delivered them before dawn."

"Oh, no wonder it's so fresh. It turns out to be freshly slaughtered pork." Chunmiao nodded, rolled up her sleeves and started working.

Jiang Xiaoxiao left the kitchen and turned to look at the site for building a house. The sun has gradually risen, and the golden sunshine is shining on the earth, illuminating everyone's energetic faces.

The workers who came to work at Jiang's house all had smiles on their faces and worked very hard.

Several high brick walls are built high, and the prototype of a house has begun to take shape.

At this rate, as long as there are sufficient manpower and funds, and the weather is good, her house will be built in a few days.

Jiang Wei, who was watching from the side, was obviously relieved, with a rare relaxed look on his face.

Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed, however, that Master Zheng, who was in charge of the progress of the main project, seemed a little preoccupied. He was holding the building drawings in his hand, but looking away absentmindedly.

She walked over and said in a relaxed tone: "Master Zheng, is there anything wrong with my house?"

"No." Master Zheng shook his head quickly and looked at Jiang Xiao with gentle eyes, "Your name is Xiaoxiao. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Zheng."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled: "Uncle Zheng."

Look, even a stranger can remember her name after just hearing it a few times, but the people in Lao Li's family will never remember that her name is Jiang Xiaoxiao, no matter how many times they are reminded.

"Xiaoxiao..." Master Zheng bent down and knelt down in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao, "What is the mud used to build the bricks in your house called, and what is the hardening sand and mud used to pour the foundation yesterday?"

"The mud used to lay the bricks is called cement, and the foundation used to pour the foundation is concrete, which is also made of cement." Jiang Xiaoxiao responded.

She knew that this house made of cement and concrete was strong and indestructible and would inevitably attract inquiries from Master Zheng, and her family was not prepared to hide it.

Just when she thought Master Zheng would continue to ask, the person opposite smiled and said: "It turns out it's called cement. This is the first time I've seen this thing. I asked where the water was poured on the concrete bricks this morning. , I found that this cement is not only as hard as stone, but water cannot penetrate at all. It is really amazing..."

He has been building houses for so many years. No matter how good the building materials are, if the house is soaked in water for a long time, it will always be eroded and rotted by water as time goes by. This is the first time he has seen this characteristic of cement.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and explained: "This cement can not only harden in the air, but also in water. After hardening, it not only has high strength, but also resists the erosion of fresh water, so it will be fine even if it rains heavily. In addition, cement It is also highly resistant to drought and frost, and is not afraid of fire..."

Listening to Jiang Xiaoxiao's explanation, Master Zheng didn't feel noisy at all, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "This, this cement is really good!"

"Moreover, this cement can not only be used to build houses, but can also be used to pave roads and build canals!" Jiang Xiaoxiao said.

"Then, how about using it to build the city wall?" Master Zheng suddenly asked.

"Of course it will work." Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded. Buildings made of cement are strong and durable, with high strength, high performance, and high durability. They will still be strong even after fifty years.

"Then, then..." Master Zheng's face became a little nervous, and even his voice was a little embarrassed, "Xiaoxiao, can you help me ask your mother if you can sell me some of this cement..."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Master Zheng in surprise.

She thought the other party would ask her directly for the cement formula. (End of chapter)
