Chapter 1 Tampering Master
In the open space of Li's house in the north of the city.

Zhang Lingfeng mixed the dust, white dust and loess together with a hoe according to the proportions.

The three are mixed together to form yellow mud that can be used to ram earth walls.

After stirring evenly, Zhang Lingfeng leaned over and grabbed a handful of yellow mud in his hand, and then threw the yellow mud on the ground. Looking at the traces of the yellow mud spreading on the ground, he judged that it was not sticky enough.

So he added a ladle and a half of glutinous rice water to the yellow mud, and after stirring it again, he grabbed a handful of yellow mud in his hand, and then threw it on the ground. He watched the soil spread out only to a span of a palm. Big, he knew that the yellow mud had reached the optimum level for rammed earth walls.

"start."

Zhang Lingfeng greeted everyone.

Today, the Li family will leave all the matters of building a new house and laying foundation and walls to him.

Over the years, he has grown step by step from a small worker carrying mud to a master rammer. The earth walls he rammed are solid, airtight, smooth and smooth, and are famous throughout the country.

Even Master Liu, who introduced him to the industry, felt ashamed and handed over his team to his management.

"It's work."

Everyone has been waiting for a long time. They have been responsible for this craft for many years. Although their skills are far inferior to Zhang Lingfeng, they know the whole process.

It can save Zhang Lingfeng a lot of trouble when doing things.

However, Zhang Lingfeng was not idle either. He participated in the whole process, was meticulous in his work, and was very particular about every detail.

He not only pays attention to the smoothness and beauty of the surface, but also pays attention to the stability and safety of the structure.

The thickness of each layer of ramming is from seven inches to five inches. Generally, each layer is rammed three times and the groove is beaten twice.

"Master Zhang, have a sip of tea."

The owner, Mr. Li, accompanied him throughout the whole process. Seeing that Zhang Lingfeng was as meticulous and conscientious as rumored, he specially prepared a pot of tea for Zhang Lingfeng.

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Zhang Lingfeng's mouth was already dry and his hands were covered with yellow mud. He untied the bamboo pot from his waist and took a full pot of tea. After taking a few sips, he poured the rest to a few old men.

The Li family's new house has a second courtyard and a total of thirteen rooms.

There are three main rooms, located on the central axis of the courtyard, facing north and south.

There are two east and west wing rooms each, located on both sides of the main room. They are lower than the main room and are used as warehouses or studies.

There are three east and west wing rooms respectively, located on both sides of the main house. They are for the younger generation. The east wing room is for sons and the west wing room is for daughters.

This is the biggest project that Zhang Lingfeng has taken on since he became a compactor master. The construction period will be completed within half a year. The Li family has already picked a good day and will move into their new house next autumn.

Zhang Lingfeng also received relatively good returns from this compared to other tamping masters.

He checks the panel information.

Wall Ramming Skill: Perfect (1-100)

Cooking: Proficient (77-100)

He was originally a good young man from Blue Star in the 21st century. After getting drunk, he inexplicably traveled to the Great Xia Dynasty and became a small laborer in Qingyang County.

Work with Master Liu.

Soon I found that I had obtained a double fate.

At the first level of destiny, cultivation comes naturally. No matter what skill you have, you can always learn it slowly as long as you study day after day.

He learned the wall-ramming technique from Master Liu.

After finishing today's work, Zhang Lingfeng discovered that the wall ramming skills had finally reached perfection. Looking at the entire Qingyang County, and even the entire Daxia Dynasty, there were few ramming masters who could surpass him in skills.

"The Iron Sword Gang congratulates Master Li on laying the foundation stone for his new residence."

At this time, seven or eight gang members appeared in the open space of Li's house.

The leader is called Zhou Damao.

He is a small leader of the Iron Knife Gang.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your kind words. This is a small thought, I hope you will accept it."

Mr. Li hurriedly stepped forward and presented the silver coins he had prepared in advance. The north of the city was under the jurisdiction of the Iron Knife Gang. From the squire to the common people, as long as they had no background, they had to pay for everything during the holidays, building a house, moving, marrying a wife and having children. The Iron Sword Gang handed over all kinds of wedding money.

"Master Li is a blessed man. I hope Master Li can move into his new house as soon as possible. Then we can have a few drinks."

Zhou Damao put the money into his pocket and said.

"You will be the first to notify Mr. Zhou when the time comes."

Mr. Li was smiling all over his face, but he was cursing in his heart. After Zhou Damao took the money, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he glanced at everyone. When he saw Zhang Lingfeng who was working, he walked straight over.

Zhang Lingfeng secretly screamed something bad and hurriedly stopped what he was doing and said, "Master Zhou, you are out on inspection again."

"Your craftsmanship is getting better and better, and you must have received a lot of wages!"

Zhou Damao asked meaningfully.

"No way! I just make a living. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Li."

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

"Master Zhang is young and strong, and he will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

Mr. Li cooperated and said that the two of them had already colluded.

"When you finish the work here, take your people to my house to repair the wall."

Zhou Damao ordered.

"Okay Mr. Zhou."

How dare Zhang Lingfeng refuse and watched Zhou Damao and his party leave.

After Zhou Damao left, everyone sighed, especially the old man who worked with Zhang Lingfeng. They all knew that they would not get paid at all if they repaired the wall for Zhou Damao.

And if you don’t go, you won’t even have the chance to help people build walls in the future.

"I have to speed up the Li family project and go to the Demon Suppressing Martial Arts School to learn martial arts as soon as possible."

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself.

Since joining the army, he has begun to accumulate money. He has long ago found out that there is a Zhenyao martial arts gym in Qingyang County, and the master of the martial arts gym, Ao Dagang, is a retired official.

After practicing there for a year, if you have outstanding qualifications, you can become a disciple of Ao Dagang, or be recommended by Ao Dagang to serve as a county government official and become a member of the third class of government officials.

He has the blessing of destiny and has a natural advantage in martial arts practice. As long as he practices persistently, all martial arts and martial arts will come naturally, so there is no need to worry about not being able to learn them.

He has already calculated that as long as the Li family pays off the completion money, he will have enough silver to register at the Demon Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, and he will not have to worry about food and clothing in the following year.

Moreover, Zhou Damao did not dare to harass him when he was training in Ao Dagang's martial arts school. Once he became successful in martial arts, became a disciple of Ao Dagang, or became an official, Zhou Damao would have to avoid him when he saw him.

With this idea in mind, Zhang Lingfeng began to advance the project.

He wished he could stay at the construction site day and night and finish all the work on his hands. When others asked him why he was so anxious, he used the excuse that he hoped to help Zhou Damao repair the house as soon as possible.

When the news reached Zhou Damao, Zhou Damao went back to the Li family construction site to check and found that the progress of the project was indeed much faster than before, so he ordered his staff not to disturb Zhang Lingfeng's work during this period.

In the end, Zhang Lingfeng saved nearly half of the time and completed all the Li family's projects. After three months, he received all the remaining wages and finally had enough silver to study martial arts at the Demon Suppressing Martial Arts Hall.

Before going to the martial arts gym to sign up, Zhang Lingfeng made a special trip to Master Liu's home.

"Master."

Zhang Lingfeng came to the door with gifts.

Master Liu taught him the art of ramming walls, and also entrusted the people around him to lead him. He was kind to him, and he would give Master Liu a gift every year and festival.

Every now and then, I would come over to visit.

"Ling Feng, your current skills are both stable and fast. You finished all the work of Mr. Li's family in three months. There will never be another master like you in Qingyang County."

Master Liu only turned fifty this year, but his appearance is similar to that of a sixty-year-old man. This is because he works outdoors all year round and is exposed to the wind and sun.

"Master, I'm here today. I have something to tell you. I'm going to Master Ao's martial arts gym to practice martial arts. Lao Yang and the others should find someone to take over!"

The craftsmanship was passed down to him by Master Liu. If he wanted to leave this industry, Zhang Lingfeng had to tell Master Liu.

Hearing this, Master Liu, who was originally full of praise, suddenly froze.

His wife, Mrs. Zhang, hurriedly said: "Ling Feng, martial arts training is a matter for wealthy people. People all over the country know your current skills. If you have a good craft, you will not do it no matter what."

"Your wife is right. It is not easy for ordinary people to practice martial arts. If Lao Yang and the others are disobedient, I will go find them now."

Master Liu echoed.

"It's none of Lao Yang's business. I wanted to go to the martial arts school to learn martial arts from the beginning. Mr. Li will pay me the remaining wages today. This is your share."

"I will go to the martial arts school to sign up in a moment. Master and wife, I will leave first. I will come to see you two later."

Zhang Lingfeng stood up and said goodbye.
