Their brick kiln is not next to the yard where they live, but two miles south of the valley, and the charcoal is burned outside the valley.
However, because the brick kiln Shen Qingqian requested was a bit complicated for them, it has not been built yet.
Fortunately, a lot of charcoal has been made in the past few days, enough to burn for half a month, and everyone finally feels a little more at ease.
Seeing that the brick embryos and tile barrels were almost ready, Shen Jun quickly took them to the valley.
"What we just made is just a demonstration. Take it and let Chen Er and the others make more. Once the kiln is built, they can be fired directly. If you are lucky, you can live in a brick house before the snow starts." Shen Jun He said as he walked.
They have discussed in the past few days that instead of repairing here today and repairing there tomorrow, it is better for everyone to work together to rebuild the house.
Shen Qingqian wanted to object, because this would significantly increase her workload. Unfortunately, the voices of the masses were too loud, so she could only bite the bullet and silently expand the scale of the brick kiln.
"Sixth sister!" After arriving at the place, Shen Jun waved to Shen Qingqian from a distance.
Shen Qingqian was supervising the work. When he heard Shen Jun's voice, he quickly turned around, waved his hand and shouted: "Second brother, are you here?"
"How's it going? We've already made the bricks and barrels. Come and see if they're right." Shen Jun trotted over, looked at the construction progress, and nodded secretly.
Not to mention, they worked really hard in order to live in a brick house as soon as possible.
"Is the tile bucket ready?" Shen Qingqian's eyes lit up and she quickly walked towards the person carrying the tile bucket.
She thought it would be done tomorrow, but she didn't expect it to be done so quickly.
Jun Shen chuckled, "We are lucky. Didn't a barefoot doctor pass by yesterday? His ancestors made bricks and tiles. He saw us making tile buckets and gave us a few words of advice."
He hasn't had time to mention this to Shen Qingqian yet, so it's no wonder she doesn't know about it.
Shen Qingqian took the tile bucket from Liu Junyan's hand, turned it around and looked at it carefully. A big stone fell in her heart, and a smile broke out on her face, "Brother Liu, you have done a good job, we will have tiles soon." used."
Liu Junyan was forced to make tile barrels. He was originally unhappy in every way, but when he saw Shen Qingqian's smile and listened to her compliments, he unconsciously turned red at the base of his ears, and he couldn't even speak clearly, "No. ...That's good, haha..."
Shen Qingqian looked at the bricks again and saw no problems, so she let Shen Jun and others continue to work.
Bricks are easy to make, as long as you have a mold, but bricks are more troublesome and require more skill.
Making tiles also requires molds, a tile bucket, a rotating bracket, a special cutter, a semi-curved scraper, and a ruler.
The cutter is a crossbar with a bowstring attached to it. As a cutting tool, the length of the bowstring, the distance between the crossbar and the bowstring, and the width and thickness of the tile are basically the same.
Shen Qingqian and the others didn't have this thing. Shen Shan went to the city to buy it two days ago.
Of course, the money was collected by Shen Qingqian and the people in the yard.
The process of making tiles is much more complicated than making bricks, but who tells them that they have no money to buy it? You can't build a new house with bricks and stones, but have a straw hut on top, right?
It was also because of this that Wu and others took the lead and had urgent discussions for a long time before finalizing the regulations for making tiles.
Although Shen Qingqian only said that she had seen how to do it in books, the others were completely blank. She naturally became the "technical director" and designed some basic things.
A lot of inspiration came from the "Encyclopedia of Farm Tools" provided by the system.
