Datang romantic little landlord

Not only Liu Carpenter's two sons were surprised, even Li Heng and Pei Lan were dumbfounded when they heard the words.Repair the toilet in the wing room?Sir, is he crazy?

No wonder they were surprised. Datang's toilets are not the toilets with complete sewer pipes of later generations, but dry toilets.

Even in the rural areas of later generations, no one would dig dry toilets in their own houses.Not to mention hygiene issues, just the taste, tsk tsk, it's sour enough to think about it.

Li Wangyou didn't explain, just smiled: "I have a reason, Brother Liu, is there any problem with the water pipeline?"

"No problem. It can be built in two days at most. It's not complicated." Although he didn't understand what Li Wangyou was thinking, the Liu family brothers nodded in agreement.

After explaining the matter of the water pipeline, Li Wangyou invited the masons to the backyard and asked them to dig a circular deep pit in the backyard, and a ditch needed to be dug from the west wing to the deep pit.

No one could understand what he was doing. Although these masons were confused, they still started construction according to Li Wangyou's drawings.

After handing over the drawings to them, Li Wangyou didn't care about it, and just waited for the materials he ordered to arrive two days later.

Two days later, several bullock carts came from Dingzhou Village, all of which were delivering things to Li Wangyou's family.The strange things pulled by these bullock carts made the villagers talk a lot, wondering what Li Jiaxiaolang was doing again.

Li Wangyou inspected the delivered items, especially those fired tiles and toilets. Not to mention, the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty are really good, not inferior to those home decoration equipment sold by later generations.

He picked up a piece of ceramic tile with this beautiful pattern, flicked it with his fingers, and the tile made a crisp and pleasant sound.

"Changqing, how do you look at the tiles? Hehe, it must look beautiful in the bathroom."

Su Changqing didn't speak for a long time, frowned and thought for a long time before asking uncertainly: "Wangyou, did we forget something?"

"Huh? Forgot what?"

"There is no cement in Datang, how can these tiles be attached to the wall?"

077 Artificial pozzolan cement

Su Changqing also just thought of this problem. Datang didn't have cement, so the tiles couldn't be pasted on the wall at all.

However, Li Wangyou didn't show any surprised expression as she imagined. Instead, he just smiled and didn't speak, and went directly to take out the pottery powder that Li Heng had ground into powder before.

"Hey, there is cement here, hehe, I have thought of this problem a long time ago." Li Wangyou raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Isn't this the powder ground from the pottery? Can this be used as cement?" Su Changqing looked like you were kidding me.

Li Wangyou explained with a smile: "Cement is made by mixing lime, which is called 'artificial pozzolanic cement'. It means crushing fired bricks or pottery, or directly putting lime and clay in a kiln for calcination. This kind of cement was used to build the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway in Yunnan, and it was used instead of cement when it was not available in the countryside of my hometown.”

"Really?" Su Changqing still didn't believe that pottery pieces could be used as cement after being ground into powder and adding lime.

Li Wangyou didn't explain, just took the lime, mixed it with the pottery powder, and then added water to mix well.

When he was ready, Li Wangyou found a mason and asked him to use the cement he made to paste the tiles on the wall.

"Xiao Langjun, how is this possible? I have been a mason for most of my life, and I have never seen anyone who can use mud to lay bricks." After listening to Li Wangyou's request, the mason shook his head repeatedly.

In his opinion, this kind of thing that Li Wangyou calls tiles can't be pasted on the wall like this.

Maybe use fish maw to boil glue to try, but it may not stick firmly.

To build walls and build houses, loess, lime and water are mixed well for bonding.If you are more particular, it is just plaster with glutinous rice juice added.And what kind of "cement" Li Jiaxiaolang asked him to use is simply unheard of.

With Li Wangyou's repeated insistence, he tried to apply cement to the back of the tiles, and gently attached the tiles to the base of the wall.Gently tap the surface of the tile with a small hammer in your hand to make it fit the wall better.

After making sure that the tiles were completely attached to the wall, the mason tried to let go.In his imagination, as soon as he took his hand away, it was estimated that the tile would fall down and shatter into pieces.

After he let go of his hand, the tiles did not move at all, and were firmly glued to the wall.

"This, how is this possible?" The mason has spent half his life laying bricks and building houses, and this is the first time he has seen such a thing. It is beyond imagination.

Li Wangyou smiled triumphantly at Su Changqing, what does that mean?Is this cement easy to use?

Su Changqing rolled his eyes at him, but his eyes were full of joy, staring at the bricklayer who pasted the bright and clean tiles on the wall...

What surprised the masons even more was that this cement can not only bond tiles, but also lay bricks.

Among the things Li Wangyou ordered was a cart of bricks, which were used to build biogas digesters.

That's right, the big circular pit he had people dig in the backyard was a biogas digester.

However, the biogas digester needs to be surrounded by bricks so that the sewage will not seep into the soil.

And the bricks were naturally made of the "artificial volcanic ash cement" that Li Wangyou made.

Seeing that this thing called "cement" can really bond bricks, and the stickiness is obviously much stronger than the loess, lime and water they used to mix well to make the bond, these masons were stunned.

Why is this young man from the Li family good at everything?What a monster!

What surprised them even more was that when they came back for construction the next day, several masons found that the "cement" had solidified and dried yesterday.Not only is it firm, but also water can't get in, just like turning into a stone.

"How, how is this possible?"

"Young Lord of the Li family, he is indeed a Wenqu star descending from the sky. This is simply the method of the fairy family."

"That's right, turning mud into stone, isn't it a fairy?"

Several craftsmen whispered around the cement wall, all of which was beyond their imagination.

Li's modern bathroom renovation plan is still in progress.

The first is the issue of water supply.

This is the easiest solution. Carpenter Liu's two sons are very skilled. In two days, they used moso bamboo to build pipes and wooden supports to bring the spring water from the back mountain into Li Wangyou's home.

The second is the sewage system. With the help of Li Wangyou's cement, the craftsmen built the biogas digester within two days, and laid the sewage pipes with ceramic pipes, and sealed all the joints with cement.

Afterwards, the modern bathroom in the west wing was built.

The floor and walls are covered with ceramic tiles, and after installing the ceramic toilet, a modern bathroom appeared in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

Finally, there is the biogas utilization part of the biogas digester, which is to connect the gas pipeline.This biogas pipe is Li Wangyou's biggest headache, there is no PVC pipe available in Datang.

In the end, he found a shop specializing in making copperware in Huxian County. The old craftsman's craftsmanship was so exquisite that he actually made a batch of copper pipes for him out of copper skin.However, the high price also made Li Wangyou's heart ache, and it was considered a hemorrhage.

It's normal to think about it. Copper was originally currency in the Tang Dynasty, and using copper to make copper pipes is not much different from stringing copper coins to a pipe.

Li Wangyou paid more than ten copper coins just to make this batch of copper pipes. If Yang Zuan hadn't given him a hundred copper coins, he would really be reluctant to be so extravagant.

In the past few days, the renovation project of Li Wangyou's house is the biggest hot spot in the village.

Whether it's a farmer's man or a mother-in-law, they discuss all kinds of things about the Li family when they get together.

Although it is not clear what Li Wangyou wants to do, but in the eyes of the farmers, it is a big deal.

A few days later, Li's house has completely changed.
