088 Construction of thatched houses


It would be even better if she could find some ghost servants for Gu Han.

Then wouldn't he know her every move?

Lu Qiuling immediately felt happy.

He has been busy in the past few days, but now that he has a few little ghosts to do the work for him, Gu Han rarely gets a half-day of free time.

Naturally, Lu Qiuling will not let go of the opportunity to cultivate feelings and takes Gu Han forcibly for a walk in the countryside.

On the other side, the two senior brothers also lamented how busy they have become after the new year, "Yes, until today when we went up the mountain, we had to build a thatched house before we had time to prepare the materials."

"That's great," Yu Xiuyun continued.

"The timber is available on the mountain, and it saves money."

"Oh, look how your tone is exactly the same as that girl Gu Han's."

While chatting, the work at hand did not slow down.

Zhuang Yuxin spotted a camphor tree, took out the Xinling Sword, and cut off the thick pillar with one stroke.

"This piece of wood is good.

It can be used as a horizontal beam to build a spine purlin."

"It's good if you like it, my engineer, but how can you move so much wood back?"

This question stopped my senior brother from asking, "How else can I move it?

Just lift it one by one."

The two senior brothers chopped down fifteen logs of different years and lengths on Luohu Mountain.

Taking advantage of the early hour, they directly used their swords to cut the logs into cylinders and kicked them down the mountain.

But just pray that it doesn’t rain at night.

At this time, the invited Master Cheng was already waiting at the foot of the mountain early.

Zhuang Yuxin immediately greeted him, "Master Cheng, please come and be fine.

Thank you for your hard work.

I will ask you to deliver the materials that were customized last night this afternoon."

"You are so polite, Mr.

Zhuang.

Seeing that there is no one at the bottom of the mountain, I happened to come up to take a look, so I met Mr.

Zhuang.

I will send someone to transport the materials up."

"Okay, you can have some snacks, I'll pay you for it."

"Definitely."

So Master Cheng went down the mountain and sent people to bring up several piles of green bricks for paving the floor and the reconciled wall mud.

"Look, you only have two people.

I'm afraid you won't be able to build the thatched house before nightfall.

I don't go to the roadside shop to put incense on weekdays, but the roadside shop has suffered like this.

We can't add insult to injury.

I'm going to take my men with me."

When people come up to lay bricks, they should add sesame oil and money to the pavement.”

Master Cheng smiled and talked to himself.

After he finished speaking, he started to greet others to do their work.

Two senior brothers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally concluded: Master Cheng is really a good person.

With the temporary addition of more professional manpower, the construction of thatched huts has been accelerated a lot.

Just watch those professional employees lay the green bricks in pieces, fit them together seamlessly, and then put them in front of the green bricks according to the gentle slope terrain.

Several wooden shelves are ready to form a staircase.

The area of ​​​​the thatched house suddenly came out.

"It just so happens that I'm here again, so I can't ignore it."

Master Cheng came over to talk again, "Looking at the way the blue bricks are laid, they should be in a rectangular shape running from east to west.

There are too many green bricks this time.

It's better to lay another room on the south side.

The door happens to be on the south side, so the west side of this room can be cooler in the summer.”

Yu Xiuyun wanted to say something.

In fact, they estimated that they would not have to worry about it until the summer.

In the end, Master Cheng still said his own thing, and then arranged for his subordinates to continue, "See, wait."

The roof ridge is covered with thatch, and the roof is suitable for opening skylights, which can provide ventilation, illumination, and stargazing."

"We don't look at astrology."

Zhuang Yuxin couldn't help but interrupt.

Master Cheng is really familiar with this.

Why didn't he notice it before?

Master Cheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you don't look at the stars, the ventilation is good, and there must be a ladder."

"We don't need a ladder, we just jump on it."

Master Cheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and then continued: "The relationship is good, the ladder is saved, a new room is added to the thatched house, and the roof ridge is formed into an irregular cross shape.

Isn't this a coincidence?

, I recently learned the technology of waterproofing layer from the West, so I will send someone to prepare it.”

Yu Xiuyun couldn't help but interrupt: "Master Cheng, otherwise we will pay you for processing."

"Look what you two brothers are saying is not like this.

I hit it off with you two.

It doesn't matter whether you have money or not.

Just give me enough money for the materials.

Let's do it."

The two senior brothers looked at each other again, and then silently chose to join the project.

At the bottom of the mountain, when the mountains of thatch were placed in front of Gu Han's eyes, Gu Han's eyes lit up.

"Let me tell you, Lu Qiuling, I'm going to learn the magic of controlling imps now.

This is so efficient."

The corners of Lu Qiuling's lips curled up and he said dotingly: "Be good, it's the same if you have me."

Gu Han: So one person and one ghost worked together to throw the thatch into the Five Mountains Kit.

Gu Han had to sigh, this spatial treasure is convenient, no wonder it is priceless but priceless.

When Gu Han returned to the foot of the mountain, he found a group of people coming towards the foot of the mountain.

"Why did the believer come to the door so quickly?

I don't know which senior brother I invited to visit, but it doesn't look like he is doing it."

Gu Han quickly went up the mountain and was shocked when he saw the scene at this time.

He saw one-foot-high blue bricks spread out on the wasteland, and there were six steps in front of the green bricks.

What's even more amazing is that the several pieces of wood that have just been cut have been peeled off, and what should be vertical and horizontal are already in place.

Now that the prototype of the thatched house has come out, all that is left is to put plaster on a total of six walls.

In more professional terms, a thatched house is built on a human-shaped wooden roof truss.

Horizontal columns are fixed on several footings to form the roof ridge and rafters are installed symmetrically.

One end is fixed on the crossbar and the other end is fixed on the wall or beam.

Because Master Cheng was still there, according to the construction requirements, inclined columns and purlins were installed to strengthen the roof trusses.

At this time, the project has progressed to painting a few walls.

Gu Han silently walked to the two senior brothers.

"How's thatch ready?"

"The pile is as high as a mountain."

"Did the villagers say anything?"

Gu Han said with a guilty conscience: "If these straws are left in the farmhouse, they will burn in the end.

You might as well bring them back to me."

"It happened so fast, and it's so impressive.

I don't think I'll be able to get off in ten days and half a month.

I thought I was going to stay in a hotel today."

Gu Han couldn't help but admire.

"That's the truth, but it can't stand up to the crowd."

Zhuang Yuxin smiled, "It's always a good thing if the thatched house can be completed as soon as possible."

So it took another two hours to add wooden shelves to several walls, leaving windows and doors open, and then painted a layer of gray to make it look presentable.

"This is just an empty shelf.

What do you do with your furniture?"

Master Cheng ran over and asked with concern, "Do you want me to prepare a few sets?"

"No, no, no, we're ready."

"That's a good feeling," Master Cheng continued, "the shelf is almost ready, and the next step is to lay thatch.

The thatch is laid in order from bottom to top, one layer on top of another, and the thatch is tied to the purlins with wires. and use a wooden brush to comb it neatly, especially the roots of the thatch as much as possible.

It falls on the purlin and covers it to improve the integrity and aesthetics of the indoor roof.

Since the thatch is relatively smooth, it is not suitable to step on the thatch directly for work.

Select a log and fix it on the completed part of the thatch.

After the thatch is laid, remove the logs from top to bottom.

By the way, do you have wires?"

Gu Han, the three of them stared wide-eyed and shook their heads.

After saying such a long paragraph, they had to change their tone.

Master Cheng just finished it in one breath.

"It's okay, you don't have wire, I brought it."

Master Cheng smiled and ran to work.

Gu Han couldn't help but ask: "You are very familiar with this Master Cheng."

"I just met you, I'm familiar with you."

"Why do I feel like he already knew that we were going to build a thatched house, yet he was so well prepared."

"When you say that, I feel the same way," the two senior brothers fell into silence.

"He didn't say who asked him to help."

Gu Han asked: "Could it be a temple blessing from the City God's Temple?"

Lu Qiuling immediately denied it, "It's impossible that I don't even know about this."

"Um, why do I need you to know."

"I just know" Gu Han was too lazy to argue with Lu Qiuling.

Anyway, this thatched house looked weird.

When Master Cheng sent someone to fetch the ladder, an hour later the hut was paved, and the workers began to close the windows and the door that appeared out of nowhere.

The thatched house is located on a gentle slope halfway up the mountain.

It has a simple and peaceful beauty.

It is leisurely, detached, and forgetting everything.

At the same time, this thatched house became a must-have for Daopu's future seclusion.

Gu Han carried it into the Five Mountains brocade bag and took it with him wherever he went.

After another cup of tea, the thatched house was finished, and Master Cheng came over to say goodbye.

"Hey, at least the construction is finished.

I feel comfortable now.

Remember to open more doors and windows for ventilation.

My shop is located near the North City Gate.

Remember to take care of me."

"Definitely."

Master Cheng came quietly like a cloud, left a house and then left quietly.

The three people and one ghost were left alone, looking at the changes at this time in surprise, not knowing what to say.

"How about we go in and take a look," Gu Han tried to suggest.

"Then let's go in and have a look.

The capital has been built and it's so grand and leisurely.

We might as well just live here from now on."

Several people walked up the wooden steps and walked in facing the door.

The thatched house was really spacious because it had just been built, and it still smelled of wood mixed with earth.

A few of them were also very receptive, and after a few more compliments, they got down to business.

A separate room was set up on the southeast side, and the three senior brothers and sisters decided to use it as a worship room.

So Gu Han stopped in the south of this single room, took out a mahogany altar from the Five Mountains brocade bag, placed a stone corner incense burner on the altar, and placed three ceramic blue and white flowers in front of the incense burner.

Offerings.

The two senior brothers placed several white futons on the ground and also hung a bunch of copper bells.

This is a string of house bells.

There is no copper heart inside.

It will ring if evil comes near.

Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

Yu Xiuyun took out a piece of red cloth from the shrine behind his back and spread it out to see the memorial tablet of his ancestor.

"Disciples, I am ashamed.

From your lineage, no one has successfully advanced to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

However, the disciples will certainly serve you well."

Yu Xiuyun arranged the tablets in a straight position and kowtowed three times with his junior brothers and sisters.

This was a complete etiquette.

"I've been hungry all day, and it's time for dinner.

I'll make you something to eat."

Yu Xiuyun walked to the center of the thatched house.

Gu Han and the other two wished that their senior brother had said this earlier.

It is not possible to build a large stove in a thatched house temporarily, but Master Cheng also had the intention to build three walls with blue bricks in the center of the thatched house, which can be used as a simple stove.

They definitely had no choice.

Gu Han immediately took out an iron pot, and the second senior brother brought in a basket of wild fruits and vegetables from outside the door like a magic trick.

"Elder brother picked this by the way when he went up the mountain to chop wood today.

I don't know how it tastes."

"If you can eat, just take care of yourself, but what is our staple food?"

"Look here."

Zhuang Yuxin pointed to the vegetable basket, and then took out the wild vegetables.

There were also several large sweet potatoes stored in it.

"We rely on the mountains to eat.

If you are not used to it, you can go back to Bailin Town and buy some rice."

"No, no, no," Gu Han said with a smile, "Everyone who eats is in my treasure.

I prepared it a long time ago.

I just wanted to see if you really prepared something to eat, and it turned out that you did."

"You prepared the ingredients a long time ago and you didn't tell me.

As a result, your two senior brothers and I were busy working on the mountain for a long time.

Don't worry, our Gu Han will definitely not be hungry."

"Hey" Gu Han responded happily, as long as the senior brothers are here, this home is no longer home.

"What nonsense are you talking about?

Let's get some water."

When the wild vegetables are put into the pot, they are immediately fragrant.

It also brought out the greed in a few people.

There's no way Daopu looks like he's being driven away or living in seclusion.

He's obviously here for vacation.

After dinner, it was getting dark, and the wind outside was still quite strong.

With this gust of wind, the mud walls on the house dried faster.

An oil lamp was lit on the simple four-legged wooden table beside the stove.

Gu Han took out four beds.

First, the two senior brothers placed the two beds in the northwest corner facing the door, and then took out a barrier to distinguish the inner and outer rooms.

"Hey, don't tell me.

With Gu Han tidying up like this, the room suddenly looks good."

Zhuang Yuxin couldn't help but praise.

Gu Han likes to hear these words, and will start to drift off after hearing a few words, "Girl, I am diligent and thrifty, and I am capable of doing my job."

As he spoke, the work at hand did not stop.

Gu Han placed Lu Qiuling's bed due north, put up a barrier, and hung a piece of gray cloth on both sides to create an independent space.

"Lu Qiuling is always a guest.

This upper room is reserved for him.

Everyone has no objection."

"Well, you are a heavenly master, and we don't dare to have any objection if you are still following you."

Lu Qiuling smiled with satisfaction.

Now he is a guest.

At least Gu Han still cares about him.

Maybe one day he will become a guest.

Gu Han's bed was placed in the northeast, and a folding corner barrier was placed directly on it, but the space was doubled.

Zhuang Yuxin scratched his head, "Gu Han, what are you doing?"

Of course, he was particular about it.

Gu Han took out a table and a wardrobe from the Wuyue brocade bag.

These were obviously the furnishings of Daopu's room.

"Gu Han, you even brought your clothes.

There's a lot of chaos.

Besides, this is a mountain.

You're wearing such fancy clothes to show the ghosts."

"I'm happy to, it's up to you."

Gu Han looked over, and Zhuang Yuxin immediately stopped talking.

Yu Xiuyun smiled, "It seems that junior sister has grown up and understands beauty."

That's because when she thought of Chu Xianchun, Gu Han didn't regret bringing these things to the mountain.

Again, the Five Sacred Mountains bag is hers now, and she can take whatever she likes with her.

Now that the new home was in style, Gu Han placed another oil lamp in each room, and then said: "It's been a busy day, everyone, please rest early."

"No, there is one more thing I forgot to do."

The senior brother suddenly said as he patted his forehead.

Gu Han thought it was something.

It turned out that the senior brother asked Gu Han to take out two large lanterns.

The lanterns were full of runes and were also magic weapons.

Waiting for the candles to be put on, the senior brother hung the lanterns at the door.

He Then he said with confidence: "If someone goes up the mountain at night, they can find us."

"Not yet."

The senior brother frowned again and said, "The thatched house is still unsafe now.

I still don't worry about a house-killing bell.

Without the blessing of the ancestor, we have to set up a barrier around the thatched house. " "Does it have to be tonight?"

The second senior brother was already yawning.

"Just tonight."

The senior brother said firmly.

So several people returned to the ancestor's memorial tablet and planted the Five Elements flags in the cracks in the ground in front of the altar.

"With the Five Elements Guard Formation, we can feel more at ease.

Let's take a rest early."

The senior brother was relieved.

After waiting for a few people to leave the house, Lu Qiuling waved his hand and covered the thatched house with another layer of enchantment.

This layer of enchantment was set inside the Five Elements Guard Barrier.

If there is no evil to invade, it cannot be used.

This layer.

But the facts proved that Lu Qiuling's decision was quite correct.

Master Cheng, who came down from the mountain, dismissed the waiters in the shop.

Seeing that there were no acquaintances around, he hired a rickshaw and wandered around Bailin Town humming a tune, and then headed for the Chu Mansion.

In Chu Mansion, in Chu Tianqing's office, Chu Tianqing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, now had a slicked back hair and was becoming more and more attractive.

"Report to the general manager, Master Cheng from outside the mansion to see you."

The servant in the mansion ran over very diligently, and then continued, "Master Cheng sells construction equipment in the north of the city.

You have cooperated with his shop before, and you said that he is really Yes, it’s almost dark before he comes.

If you don’t like it, I’ll send him away right now.”

Chu Tianqing put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Master Cheng, please come in."

"Okay."

The boy bent down and responded, and then was obviously stunned for a moment.

The general manager said that he was invited to come in, not to leave.

The boy quickly sorted out the situation and went out to welcome the guests.

Mr.

Chu must have some skills in meeting people before dark.

Waiting for the servant to report, Master Cheng walked into the Chu Mansion with his hands behind his back and walked straight into Chu Tianqing's office.

"General Manager Chu, long time no see."

Master Cheng handed over his hand.

"Long time no see, how is the thatched house in Luohu Mountain?"

"Ask Cheng to take care of it.

Just keep it in your heart.

I'm sure there will be no problem.

It will definitely be a good place for you and we won't let those four people suffer any injustice."

"Okay, you did a good job.

I'll ask the butler to send the funds to your house later."
