This meal cost a total of thirty-six yuan. In the end, the fat man said grandly: "I'll do it. When Xiao Ming gets the big money, we can make up for it with a monthly subscription at the Kaiyuan Hotel!"
Zeng Yiming smiled and said nothing. He really didn't have any money in his pocket, so why not just have a meal in an open and honest manner?
At night, Chengzi still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked excitedly: "Xiao Ming, why do you suddenly know so much?"
The fat man also muttered: "Yeah, why did he suddenly have so many? There is a golden house in the book. Is this true?"
Zeng Yiming was silent for a moment, how to explain to them what he suddenly knew?
He really hadn't thought about it before, but since there was a scrap collection station at home, he could only pass the blame to it.
"Although the three of us have been playing together since childhood, we are not inseparable, right? When I have free time, I like to look through the old books collected by the old man. I also accidentally saw this knowledge in those books.
I wanted to just browse through it casually, but I didn't expect to get out of control after just one look. I found that I quite liked the content, just like a warrior who discovered the secrets of martial arts. The more you see, the more you will naturally know. "
Cheng Zi suddenly understood and patted his head: "Fat man, we two brothers are lagging behind. We read comic books, while others read high-end professional books."
The fat man chuckled and said, "You mean, we just need to hug this thigh now?" After he said that, he ran over and hugged Xiao Ming's leg, and joked: "Xiao Ming, fat brother, I don't want to work hard. Please take me in!"
Zeng Yiming had a hard time making a decision. He was very confused. Should he bring his friends into the huge pit of the project?
"Let's do it. Starting tomorrow, Xiaopang, you go and learn to buy materials with Scar. Chengzi, you go to the construction site with me to command the vehicles."
Zeng Yiming thought over and over again, let them experience life first during this National Day holiday. Only when you know how difficult life is can you cherish everything you have.
After Orange and Fatty got the answer they wanted, they no longer struggled with the problem. The core topic of the boys’ dormitory talk was opened by the fat man:
"Xiao Ming, you said Li Xinyi has been so kind to you, but you really don't feel anything at all?"
"Xiao Ming, what do you like?"
Zeng Yiming didn't want to talk about these topics and violently interrupted their questions:
"You know what you are, you little brats with no hair at all. Go to bed, there are a lot of things waiting for us at the construction site tomorrow, don't dare to take a nap during work hours, it will kill you!"
At 8:00 the next morning, a few people took some steamed buns from a roadside stall and ate them as they walked. After a while, they came to the bridge. Zeng Yiming leaned over and looked at the river. The flow was slower than yesterday and the water was deep. It also dropped by about 10 centimeters.
He came to the construction site and asked the workers to move the colored strips of cloth used for the cofferdam to the edge of the sidewalk.
In today's situation, they definitely can't let them go up the scaffolding. It's too dangerous. They have to arrange for people to dismantle the unqualified formwork and scaffolding, move them to the open space of the construction site, and stack them neatly. They can't delay digging the foundation trench. no.
As soon as he finished arranging things here, the horn of the earth-moving truck rang, and he could only go to the sidewalk to direct the vehicle to dump earth.
Building a cofferdam is actually a very simple matter. He first directed the earth-moving truck to dump the soil into the river at a 45-degree angle 20 meters in front of the retaining wall. After the first truck of soil fell, the river The water inside became turbid. When the second load of soil fell, the first load of soil had been washed away by the river water and disappeared.
There is no need for the trucks in front of the earth moving truck to back up to the newly built cofferdam. But the excavator cannot do it. It has to go down to the cofferdam, level the surface of the cofferdam, and hook the excess earth back to the cofferdam to level the slope.
The distance is not too far, and there are five earth-moving trucks continuously dumping earth into the river. The progress of the cofferdam is very fast. Before getting off work at noon, I saw at least 100m of cofferdam with a top width of 3m, a height of 2.5m, and a bottom width of 5m. The weir is formed.
Zeng Yiming arranged for workers to spread colorful strips of cloth along the slope facing the water surface on the outside of the cofferdam to prevent the river water from washing away the newly built cofferdam. Otherwise, it would be a tragedy.
This requires the workers to be water-savvy, but fortunately, these people grow up beside a large river, so there is no need to mention water-based skills. For safety reasons, he arranged for them to work in groups of four, with two people observing the situation on the shore and two people going into the water to fix the bottom.
At this time, the water in the cofferdam was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Zeng Yiming smiled slightly, and the effect was initially revealed.
In the afternoon, he only needed to move step by step, so he took advantage of the break before lunch. I told the workers and earth-moving truck masters the working principle for the afternoon - work hard and try to finish the work before dark.
He made a preliminary estimate and found that there should be no problem with the time. There would be no problem starting in the afternoon.
But nothing is absolute. Just in case, and at the same time following the construction network plan, he still called Scar: "I want to add a few more earth-moving trucks and an excavator in the afternoon. The two ends join the dragon in the middle."
Scar's dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother, have you ever thought about it, if this happens, the cost of machinery will increase a lot?"
Zeng Yiming smiled bitterly and said: "I know, I'm also afraid that I won't be able to finish it. It's more difficult to do it at night. After thinking about it, I decided to increase it."
When Scar heard what he said, he held his breath and gritted his teeth and said: "You are the person in charge, I listen to you!"
When building the cofferdam downstream, it was a little less difficult than in the morning. At least there were significantly less mud washed away by the water. The reason is that part of the water flow has been intercepted upstream and the river's fluidity has become smaller.
Sure enough, both sides were done at the same time in the afternoon, and the speed was very fast. By 17:00, there was only the last 1m left to close the dragon.
Zeng Yiming asked the earth-moving truck to dump soil from both ends at the same time. Half an hour later, all the cofferdam work finally came to an end. He left two more excavators behind and asked the master to get off work first. However, the excavators had to be left behind because they would continue digging the foundation trench for the retaining wall tomorrow.
The diesel-powered water pump that Scar found was originally used for farmland irrigation. Zeng Yiming looked at the nameplate and said, "Hey guys, the suction and discharge openings are 40cm in diameter, and they can pump 1,260 cubic meters of water every hour. The two machines are exactly the same."
Judging from this situation, there may be no need to stay up late, and the water can be drained out by 8-9 o'clock in the evening.
After a few sudden, sudden, sudden sounds, the entire cofferdam was basically enveloped by the unique sound of the diesel generator, and even if the voice was lowered, it could not be heard at all.
Zeng Yiming had no choice but to make gestures while arranging for workers who knew the water pump to guard here to avoid special situations during the pumping process.
For example, garbage blocks the water inlet and needs to be cleaned, or the diesel fuel is low and needs to be refueled, etc.
Zeng Yiming had to leave here. The sound was really too loud, but some people were not afraid of it. Many people watched the excitement on both sides of the strait and on the bridge.
Zeng Yiming returned to the office and drank tea while waiting. He wanted to wait for the water to be drained and then check the geological conditions of the river bottom. He wanted to find out whether the thickness of the silt at the river bottom was consistent with what was drawn on the picture, as well as the part 2m below the silt. , as shown in the picture, it is all loose sand and gravel, and below is the foundation of the retaining wall - weathered mudstone.
In other words, the foundation trench he will dig tomorrow is at least 2.5 to 3.5 meters deep. He needs to dig out mudstone before notifying the owner, design, geological survey, and water conservancy and quality supervision station relevant personnel to inspect the trench.
