How Qin Jun learned how to burn lime could not be explained.
Since there is no way to explain it, there is no need to explain it. Just fire it in a kiln and see the effect.
Qin Jun changed the topic because he couldn't explain clearly at all.
In fact, in later generations, he never burned lime, but he did burn porcelain, and he did it in a professional wood kiln.
Compared with lime kilns, firewood kilns for firing porcelain have higher requirements in terms of construction, internal placement of firewood, position of porcelain, temperature control, etc.
Besides, compared to porcelain kilns, the structure of lime kilns is too simple.
It can really be said that as long as he takes a second look, he will definitely know how to burn it, and he will definitely be more professional than those kiln watchers in lime kilns.
However, he can't explain these!
Not getting the answer he wanted, Qin Li stopped asking. He had already started doing it anyway, how could he give up halfway?
Besides, he also had an idea. If he could build a house for free, his family of five wouldn't have to all squeeze into one bed in the east room.
The whole family is good at work and they work hard, so the progress is very fast.
In just a moment, more than forty pieces of bluestone were piled together.
"Let's find another place. There are only so many here. It would be too troublesome to dig any more and we won't gain much yet." Qin Li said with a pity.
"Go to our dad's place. He dug a few more holes with rocks underneath." Qin Feng said.
"Let's just separate the three of us, one for each."
Qin Jun didn't want to continue to be questioned by his two brothers, so he simply stayed away from them.
"Okay, this won't waste time." Qin Li said immediately.
As soon as Qin Jun jumped out of the pit, he was startled because he almost hit someone.
"What the fuck, Qin Han? Damn you! You want to scare people to death?"
Looking at Qin Han who stretched his head and looked into the pit, Qin Jun felt a little dumbfounded.
This guy maintains his serious look very well.
Even though he was almost hit, nothing changed.
This is a stupid person. Even if the men in the Qin family are somewhat stupid, they are not as stupid as this one, so he is called Dahan!
"Third brother, you know how to burn lime? Why didn't you tell me?"
Dahan is worthy of being a Dahan. If someone identifies something, he will never be affected by any outside influence.
So, no matter what you say, people will definitely go their own way.
"What are you telling me to do? Do you also want to build a house and marry a wife?" Qin Jun said helplessly.
"I'm not old enough to marry a wife, but I want to build a house."
After saying that, Dahan carried a shovel, a hoe, and a crowbar and went straight into a pit.
This is where Qin Zhihe discovered the bluestone just now. It was obvious that Dahan was serious.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you for free. Don't forget, Third Brother, just help me burn a kiln of lime."
After saying that, Dahan started to attack directly. His movements were much more agile and faster than Qin Jun's.
Qin Jun was speechless, he knew there was nothing he could do to stop this guy.
However, this is also a good thing, after all, they are here to help.
At worst, I can help him burn a kiln of lime when the time comes. It won't be too much trouble anyway!
Shaking his head, Qin Jun turned and walked towards another pit.
However, the moment he turned around, he discovered that a large group of people had arrived not far away.
From the looks of it, it seemed like they were all coming for him.
"Xiaojun, are you all ready to do this?"
"Hey, it looks like we really need to burn lime. So much bluestone was dug out in such a short time."
"Does this bluestone need to be transported away?"
"Xiaojun, where do you plan to burn lime?"
"That's right! Burning lime is a technical job, so you need to prepare it first, right?"
"Third brother, hurry up and get a lime kiln. There is no technical content in digging bluestone, so we can do it."
"Can you talk? The third child doesn't have to work. No matter what he does, he just needs to talk."
"Yes, that's how it should be. You two, Five, separate and dig out the bluestone with all your strength. First, build a kiln. One kiln requires more than one cubic meter of limestone, right?"
"Yes, one square meter of limestone can produce more than three tons of quicklime. To produce four or five tons of quicklime in one kiln, more than one square meter of limestone is needed."
"It's all done. Isn't it easy to make a single piece? It only weighs less than three tons."
Qin Jun looked at this group of people dumbfounded, something felt wrong!
If Qin Jun is twenty-four years old now, he should have been working outside for almost ten years. At that time, if the people in the village were convinced of his skills, there would be no problem at all.
So what's going on now? Now he has never been out of the commune.
A half-year-old child who has been fooling around in the village is worthy of their trust?
Is there something wrong with the minds of these people?
"Xiaojun, don't be in a daze! Just do whatever you need to do."
At this time, Qin Shi, the uncle's cousin, walked over with a smile.
He is the accountant of the village and graduated from high school, so he was the one who just said that a square piece of limestone weighs almost three tons.
"Brother, what's going on with you?" Qin Jun asked with confusion on his face.
Qin Shi laughed and said, "What else could be going on? Your uncle also went to the commune lime kiln before, and he was kicked back."
With that said, Qin Shi pointed at the people who were spreading out and starting to work.
"Except for the old man, no one in this group is too young. They are all of marriageable age. What do you think is going on?"
Qin Jun was speechless. He really didn't expect that there were so many young people of marriageable age in the village.
If you think about it carefully at this time, the lives of this group of people before their rebirth should have been miserable, right?
At the very least, very few of this group of people get married when they reach the age of twenty, and they usually get married when they are twenty-four or five years old.
At that time, it should be after 1984, three years after the land was divided, every family had some wealth.
At that time, lime certainly could not have been a major factor limiting the building of houses.
It was also at this time that Qin Jun remembered that it was in the past two or three years that lime kilns and brick kilns began to bloom all over the countryside.
Where there is demand, there is motivation!
If you can make money, some brave people may be planning to build brick factories now, right?
The next twenty years will definitely be the hottest period in the construction market.
But he never thought that building materials would have such huge market potential in only 1979.
It's a pity that we can't do business at this time. Otherwise, we can make a lot of money by simply building a few lime kilns.
This is really the most wonderful era, because as long as your mind is a little more flexible, you can definitely make a fortune.
He shook his head, it was useless to think about this now.
Qin Jun walked to the pit where Qin Han was: "Dahan, come up and follow me to repair the lime kiln."
"Ah? You want me to follow you to repair the lime kiln?" Qin Han was obviously in disbelief.
"Yes, it's you. Just be obedient. I'll teach you when the time comes and you'll be good at it." Qin Jun said with a smile.
"So easy to learn?" Qin Han obviously didn't believe it.
"Just believe me." Qin Jun affirmed.
"Well, my mother said, work with smart people and you won't suffer!"
Qin Han quickly put away his tools and jumped out of the pit.
After the two people finished cleaning up, they didn't expect more people to come to the village.
Are these people grasping at straws? How could they all come out to work voluntarily just after hearing a rumor?
What else can Qin Jun say? The Qin family is good at this and bad at this.
To put it nicely, it means unity, but to put it badly, it means there is something wrong with the brain, at least it has some axis.
To say that there is something wrong with them is slander, but they are indeed somewhat abnormal!
Qin Jun was a little shocked by the earnest expectations of these uncles and grandfathers.
Originally, he was a little confused after being reborn and didn't know what to do now, but now he feels bright.
Each period has its own tasks, just like now, if an individual can't do business, then he doesn't have to do anything?
Thinking of the old man who went out to pick up excrement before dawn in the morning, Qin Jun knew what he should do now.
"Xiaojun, what a skill, you can actually burn lime."
This person is a grandpa, probably his grandpa's second brother. He must be over 70 this year. Unexpectedly, he is now carrying a pickaxe to dig out rocks.
"Second Grandpa, you also have a son who wants to build a house?" Qin Jun asked, dumbfounded.
"My grandson, your cousin, is already twenty-five this year. If he doesn't build a house, he will really be a bachelor."
As he said this, the second grandfather grabbed a pit from others and started working in a hurry.
He is over seventy years old. In this age, such an old man should join the death squad in the village and lean against the wall to bask in the sun every day, right?
