This was something that had been agreed upon a long time ago, so when the three people saw the mold coming, their eyes lit up, they dropped their shovels and ran over.
Several people took the molds in their hands and looked at them over and over.
Jin Zhu scratched his head and said, "Hey, they are all brick molds, why are they not the same size?"
Master Meng knew that these people wanted to learn the art of making bricks and tiles, so of course he had to teach them.
Pointing to the brick mold, he told several people: "Brick molds are also divided into several models of different sizes.
The small bricks can hold four bricks.
They are one inch thick, four inches wide and seven inches long.
They are commonly known as one-four-seven bricks."
"Medium-sized bricks can be installed with two pieces, and the specifications are: two inches thick, five inches wide, and eight inches long, commonly known as 258 bricks.
Large-sized bricks can be installed with one piece, three inches thick, six inches wide, and nine inches long. inch, commonly known as three sixty-nine bricks."
Jiang Jun's father also came over and asked, "With four of us, can we do enough burning?"
Master Meng said: "One laborer can make 500 to 800 bricks a day.
This does not include the labor of kneading mud, which is the labor of kneading mud."
Ru Mei's dad said to Jiang Jun's dad: "Our kiln is big.
The kiln can hold fifteen thousand bricks.
We can also burn thousands of tiles to keep up."
Many of them were eager to give it a try, and some asked impatiently: "The brick shelves are piled up over there, when can they be put up here?"
Master Meng smiled and said, "Why bother?
When the bricks are 80% dry, they can be put on the brick frame."
The brick frame is a platform that has been piled with soil on the edge of the site in advance.
It is about 20 centimeters high, 15 meters wide and 20 meters long.
A small ditch is dug around it to facilitate rain and water, so it is called the brick frame.
Stack the bricks on top, about half a person high, ventilate and dry them, and then install them in the kiln for firing.
Of course, when it rains, the brick stacks must be covered with straw felt or plastic sheeting.
After the bricks have dried naturally on the brick frame for about a month, the kiln can be installed and fired.
Seeing a few people starting to play with the tile molds again, Master Meng started talking again: "Now let's talk about making tiles.
The tile base is called a car tile, and the burned tile is called a cloth tile.
It is in an arc shape, with one end slightly wider and one end slightly narrower.
"One end is slightly thicker, one end is slightly thinner, and the wider end is slightly thicker."
He used small wooden strips to assemble a small barrel-shaped tile bucket.
"Put the tile bucket on the rotating cart-tile garden platform, put a layer of semi-wet cloth on the outside of the tile bucket, and put a layer of semi-wet cloth on the outside of the tile bucket."
Sprinkle some plant ash and the tiles and barrels will be separated easily. " "Let's look at making bricks first."
He said, taking the brick mold to the pile of mud and starting to make it on the spot.
Everyone was very happy to see Master Meng flying with his hands and quickly making four bricks.
"Hey, it's not that difficult."
Ru Quan rolled up his sleeves and was about to get started.
Master Meng smiled and said, "Well, you give it a try."
Jin Zhu watched eagerly, extremely anxious.
The master didn't say anything, so naturally he didn't dare to move.
The brick and tile molds are all brand new, and to be honest, I'm really embarrassed to get them dirty.
Soon, Ruquan had made several pieces, and he felt proud of himself, but Master Meng pointed out a few flaws, "The edges are uneven; you have to use force when scraping the edges with the wire; when you knock them out, you have to use both hands." flat" Several people kept their eyes wide open, fearing that they might miss even a tiny bit.
Once you learn this, it will be a capital for earning wages in the future.
Needless to say, Ruquan studied the most seriously.
This is my own business Seeing the excitement here, Cui Jue threw down his shovel and left, "Jiang Jun, let's go and see the excitement."
Jiang Jun snorted coldly, "Just do your job well, I'm talking about you all the time."
