"Uncle Zhang, I have my own way to fix it, trust me!" Liu Qingxi's years of modern experience radiated an extraordinary confidence from within.
The slender girl stood against the light, the golden sunlight of the morning shining on her, as if she had invisible wings that allowed her to descend gracefully.
Nodding instinctively, Zhang Dafuku was completely unaware of what he had done. He blankly followed Liu Qingxi's instructions and got to work.
"Uncle Zhang, do you have a Tile Cutter?" Liu Qingxi looked around but couldn't find a suitable tool.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll get it right now!" Zhang Dafuku treasured the Tile Cutter he brought out from the house.
Liu Qingxi knew that such iron tools were valuable items for farmers and must be well cared for!
"Qingxi, what do you need the Tile Cutter for?" Zhang Dafuku asked curiously.
"Uncle Zhang, watch closely. We need to draw a line down the center of this wall and then groove it along that line!"
Liu Qingxi exerted all her strength but only managed to make a small notch!
Zhang Dafuku and Zhang Sanyou, who had lived for decades, understood what was going on after just a glance!
Rolling up his sleeves, he took the tool from Liu Qingxi's hands: "You take a break; we’ll handle this!"
Men accustomed to heavy labor were different; with one stroke of the Tile Cutter, their results far surpassed Liu Qingxi's efforts!
Following the marked lines and heights on the wall, Zhang Dafuku and Zhang Sanyou began working together from both sides!
After watching for a while, Liu Qingxi realized she seemed unnecessary since the two men were doing much better than her!
Zhang Dafuku's wife came out with a basin of water to splash around. Seeing Liu Qingxi there, she greeted her happily: "Qingxi! You don’t know how much Dafu has been talking about you. You're amazing! Auntie, look! None of us from Ten Li Pu can compare to you!"
Such straightforward praise made Liu Qingxi blush deeply. After studying this for several years in modern times and having five or six years of work experience, if she couldn't measure up to a girl who couldn't even read, she might as well run headfirst into a wall!
Dafu's Wife noticed Liu Qingxi’s slightly flushed face and ears and laughed even louder: "Auntie is speaking nothing but the truth; not a word of it is a lie!"
"Dafu Aunt, oh, how can you exaggerate like that? I only understand a little bit, it's not worth such praise!"
As the woman's laughter was about to burst out, Liu Qingxi quickly ran to the other side!
In front of her was a pile of materials she had prepared in advance, which did not include the Mud Brick commonly seen in the past two times; instead, it was a more readily available material!
Zhang Dafuku had already prepared the materials, but he previously lacked the courage to ask Liu Qingxi. It wasn't until Zhang Deli's house was repaired that he finally felt motivated!
Moreover, there was no sign of delay; he hurriedly gathered everything!
However, this material also had its challenges! The joints were difficult to handle!
Liu Qingxi thought of a method; in modern times, a similar reinforcement technique uses steel bars connected with bolts to apply pre-stress!
But this era lacked such advanced technology to use machines for pre-stressing!
"I hope this method works; that would be perfect!"
At that moment, a young man dressed in white and charmingly handsome walked towards Liu Qingxi with big strides!
His curiosity was comparable to that of a child as he rummaged through the items in front of Liu Qingxi!
The young man was none other than Yang Yichen, who had been mentioning Liu Qingxi many times!
"Long time no see; your complexion looks much better!" Since their first meeting, Yang Yichen had shown no color in his face.
With each subsequent encounter, he looked much better!
Yang Yichen smiled slightly, completely unconcerned about those so-called trivial matters!
"Qingxi, what are you doing with so much bamboo?"
Indeed, the materials in front of Liu Qingxi were none other than bamboo, which could be found everywhere on the mountain!
As for the principle? It involves using materials that match the strength of the Earthen House to replace high-strength Mud Brick, thereby achieving reinforcement through tension.
With the excellent properties of bamboo itself, it can definitely serve as a replacement!
Of course, Liu Qingxi wouldn't explain this in detail to others, as most people simply wouldn't understand!
"Yang Yichen, I plan to use this as a material to reinforce the cracks between the mountain wall and the vertical wall!"
...Yang Yichen didn't understand at all, but he felt that these words sounded very familiar!
Since he could remember, he had always felt out of place!
And when Liu Qingxi spoke about things that others didn't know, he inexplicably understood!
"Don't underestimate these bamboo shoots just because they are everywhere and seem worthless; although they are materials, they have great significance!"
Bamboo has excellent toughness, with high tensile and compressive strength; its tensile capacity can fully reinforce the wall structure!
In fact, such materials are quite common and relatively inexpensive!
"There's just one thing I haven't figured out well yet!" Liu Qingxi said with a slight frown.
