Before reading, Xiao Nianzhi had only one concept about cement.
A nice invention and very practical.
After actually reading the book, Xiao Nianzhi discovered...
Well, cement is actually just a general term.
In fact, there are many different types of cement.
According to its hardness, anti-corrosion degree and other categories, it is also divided into many different types.
There are many ways to make it.
What dry method, wet method, semi-dry method, semi-wet method...
Okay, I haven’t finished reading yet, just looking at the simple table of contents, Xiao Nianzhi is already getting dizzy.
So, why make it difficult for her?
She just wanted the road to be easier to walk, unaffected by wind and rain, and it would be better if it didn't bump her buttocks.
There are two key points in the production of cement: one is the raw material and the other is the firing method.
Among them, the part that involves real technology is the firing time.
The firing of cement, to put it simply, involves dry mixing, firing into wet, and then drying. There are many steps involved in chemical reactions and material separation during the process.
At first glance, the process is very simple. If you analyze it carefully...
Okay, that's troublesome.
Just the separation of various substances involved is enough to make people's heads ache.
The glass is okay, there is glass technology to lay the foundation, and the people at the official kiln have tried it before. Even if it fails, at least it has been done.
But cement…
Xiao Nianzhi felt that he might be too lazy, so he wanted to find something to do, right?
By the way, the salted fish is in such good condition now!
After looking at it all afternoon, Xiao Nian, who only understood the raw materials, felt a little ecstatic when he placed the value.
Fortunately, when it was time to watch, the rain that had been falling all day finally stopped!
This made Xiao Nianzhi's mood slightly better.
When she returned to the house and knew that the inner court was coming to give her a gift, this EO had completely disappeared!
The attendant who came to deliver the things simply explained to Xiao Nianzhi: "This is Xiang Jun's autumn gift. When I came, I happened to pass by the Ministry of Household Affairs and brought back another gift from Xiang Jun. There are two copies in total, Xiangjun, please keep them." Kanshu La
There are two autumn gifts, one is the welfare of the township monarch, and the other is the welfare of the seventh-rank official.
Under normal circumstances, officials' salaries and annual benefits are notified by the leaders of each department and then collected at designated locations.
Most of the time it is the household department. Sometimes, the types of items involved are different, or it may go to other places.
However, Xiangjun's welfare was sent directly from the inner court. The other party probably wanted to please him, so he helped him bring the other one.
Xiao Nianzhi hurriedly smiled and thanked him, and gave him some reward money, which was not too much, just for good luck.
The attendant was a little embarrassed, and after some hesitation, he accepted the offer, said auspicious words, and then left.
After the other party left, Xiao Nianzhi took a look at the two boxing gifts.
Xiangjun's welfare will be better, with a cake of tea, a jar of honey, two boxes of candies, and a live sheep.
Yes, there is a live sheep!
After Xiao Nianzhi watched the festival, Uncle Qin took the sheep to the backyard.
Compared with Xiangjun's autumn harvest gift, it was quite generous. As the official's gift, it seemed a little shabby, consisting of a cake of tea and a box of walnuts.
Xiao Nianzhi looked at it and found that the walnuts should be dried and weighed about three kilograms.
No matter what, it's better than nothing.
After Xiao Nianzhi counted the walnuts, he asked Isatis to take the walnuts to the backyard for them to eat daily. The tea leaves were all the same. Xiao Nianzhi gave one cake to Uncle Qin and the others, and the other to Xiao Siye.
Although the other party also has benefits, it is different after all.
The tea in the delicious kitchen was refreshed every day, and Xiao Nianzhi couldn't finish it.
Before, Yan Xingxuan had
There are still a lot of tea leaves sent by Yan Changxia and others.
There is so much tea that would be wasted if we don’t drink it, so it’s good to divide it up.
Xiao Nianzhi also generously distributed some of the other things.
As for the live sheep…
Tomorrow happened to be Xiao Qing's birthday. Xiao Nianzhi discussed it with Uncle Qin and the others. Knowing that the other party could be killed, he waved his hand directly: "Then let's kill him. Tomorrow is the third brother's birthday. Let's grill lamb chops and drink mutton soup."
When Uncle Qin heard this, he hurriedly agreed.
Aunt Qin also discussed the menu with Xiao Nianzhi, which ones she would make and which ones Xiao Nianzhi would make.
After the two of them touched each other, Xiao Nianzhi briefly freshened up and then went back to sleep.
As for the cement thing?
Let’s study it again tomorrow when it’s time to go on duty.
Turning around, the weather was still gloomy.
Xiao Nianzhi was afraid of rain, so he urged Chang Shan to pack up the carriage early and set off quickly.
A few days ago, His Majesty sent Quan De to deliver an oral message, allowing Xiao Nianzhi to be free in the future.
She can go if she wants to, and she can be absent if she doesn't want to go.
After Xiao Nianzhi heard this, he kowtowed to His Majesty with genuine feelings.
Is this the emperor?
No, this is a Bodhisattva!
I arrived at the Yamen today, sat down and even drank tea. The day was still gloomy and it didn't rain.
Xiao Nianzhi doesn't know how to look at stars, and he's not sure whether it will happen in the future.
However, she had something to do today, and she had to sort out the cement firing issue.
She needs to record several methods and then try them slowly.
Although there is a ready-made formula for this thing,...
It has never been made before, and the temperature is not easy to control. Moreover, various substances have their own temperaments. I don’t know if the temperaments of these things have changed over hundreds of years and thousands of years.
Therefore, you have to try it slowly. It is impossible to burn it directly as soon as you start it.
If Xiao Nianzhi was a big player before, then he might still have a chance and succeed once or twice.
The issue is……
She is a theorist!
Since you are not sure whether it can be produced, the preliminary preparations must be in place.
Xiao Nianzhi spent the whole morning sorting out information, pulling out books from the delicious kitchen from time to time and excerpting the necessary content.
The two subordinates are not here, and there is almost no one to find Xiao Nianzhi.
Except for lunch, when Chen Zhu and the others might come to her door, she would sit in the house at other times. It didn't rain today, so Chang Shan also stayed outside.
Therefore, even if you drag the book out of the delicious kitchen to read it, you are not afraid of being discovered.
At noon, Xiao Nianzhi decided to eat takeout.
Yes, takeout.
There was a big dinner tonight, and at noon, Xiao Nianzhi decided to fool around.
Therefore, he did not ask Aunt Qin to bring him ingredients today, but planned to go out to eat or ask Chang Shan to bring them back directly.
Regarding this matter, in the morning, Chang Shan was specially asked to say hello to Chen Zhu and the others, so that the two of them would not have to go in vain.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Nianzhi gave Chang Shan some silver and asked him to bring back some wontons for him.
Chang Shan knew in the morning that there would be no food today, so he could only go to the snack street to see what to eat.
Xiao Nianzhi gave him a lot, even his share of food.
Chang Shan quickly set off to the snack street, and Xiao Nianzhi turned around and continued reading.
Before turning two pages in the book, I heard movement at the door. When I looked up, I saw Yan Xingxuan stepping in, holding a food box in his hand.
