When Li Shanchang heard this, he also sneered: "Humph, I want to take a closer look at what this kid can do."
"Going to other places to buy hydrated lime? He's not afraid of running out of time."
"Since this kid is so confident, then I will give him a good hand."
With that said, Li Shanchang called the boy to him again and whispered for a while.
When the boy heard this, he also smiled evilly and nodded.
it is more than words.
...
Four days flew by in a flash.
Hu Changan has already taken care of all other matters.
However, without hydrated lime, the remaining projects could not be started.
Hu Changan had no choice but to wait in the mansion for the hydrated lime to arrive.
However, Hu Changan is quite leisurely.
After all, he could figure it out at this time.
Even if it's a day or two late, it's not a problem.
Besides, if it really doesn't work, the worst case scenario is that Hu Changan will just buy high-priced hydrated lime on the last day.
So Hu Changan, who had many alternatives, was in no hurry.
In contrast, Manager Chen was much more anxious.
Manager Chen paced back and forth in the courtyard over and over again, looking anxiously at the door.
How he wished that right outside the door was a truck transporting slaked lime!
However, he was disappointed.
None of the carriages coming and going was sent by Hu Changan to buy hydrated lime.
Just like that, Manager Chen waited anxiously.
From dawn to dusk, the familiar carriage finally appeared!
Manager Chen was so excited that he was speechless.
As soon as the driver got off the bus, Manager Chen scolded him: "What's wrong with you? Why does it take so long to go to Suzhou Prefecture to buy hydrated lime?"
"I'm afraid even snails can crawl faster than you!"
However, when the boy heard this, he felt aggrieved: "Manager Chen, there is nothing we can do about this!"
"We arrived at the city gate early this morning."
"But the gatekeeper didn't check other people's cars, he just checked ours."
"Our car was searched over and over at least a dozen times. It's terrible!"
"If it hadn't been for this sudden disaster, we would have arrived in the morning!"
When Manager Chen heard this, he also felt sad.
Eighty percent of the time, someone is secretly causing trouble again.
Now, there is only one day left for the young master to lay cement!
This... what to do!
At that moment, Manager Chen rushed into Hu Changan's yard and said urgently to Hu Changan: "Master Hu, the convoy that just went to Suzhou to buy hydrated lime is back!"
"Master, do you think we should ask the boys to go to the Ministry of Works overnight to help?"
"This way, maybe we can catch up on time!"
Manager Chen was on fire.
Unexpectedly, Hu Changan was unusually calm: "Manager Chen, why are you in a hurry? There is still a whole day tomorrow, isn't there?"
"One day is enough for me to lay cement."
Manager Chen was shocked when he heard this.
How is it possible that it only takes one day to lay cement on a place as big as Chang'an Avenue?!
But looking at Hu Changan's calm eyes, Manager Chen had no other choice.
After all, no matter what, Hu Changan is the boss.
Since Hu Changan has said this, there is nothing he can do as a current person.
As a result, Manager Chen had no choice but to resign with full of worries.
...
Early the next morning, Hu Changan sent someone to transport a cart full of hydrated lime to the workshop of the work department.
As soon as we got off the carriage, craftsmen from the porcelain workshop gathered around us.
Everyone said something to each other and started shouting.
"Shilang Hu, there are only one day left in the ten days! If this mission doesn't go well, I'm afraid it will fail!"
"Shilang Hu, we haven't done anything yet! What can we do in this day?"
"Chang'an Avenue is so long, how can it be paved in one day? This is simply an impossible task!"
"Shilang Hu, please don't give up! If you give up, we craftsmen will definitely be criticized by the superiors. We don't want to have our wages deducted!"
Listening to everyone's anxious words, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
After everyone stopped asking questions, Hu Changan said calmly: "Everyone, please believe what I say."
“One day is definitely enough!”
"But if you want to have enough time in this day, you must get moving!"
"Now, please go and mix this hydrated lime into the pre-ground powder."
"Please load the mixed powder into the truck immediately and let me transport it to Chang'an Avenue."
"As long as you listen to my instructions calmly, I can guarantee that one day will definitely be enough!"
Although everyone still didn't believe Hu Changan's words.
However, seeing Hu Changan look so calm and composed, everyone felt a lot more at ease.
Under Hu Changan's command, everyone quickly started to move.
To move slaked lime, to move slaked lime, to mix powder to mix powder.
Under Hu Changan's command, everyone started working in an orderly manner.
Soon, the first batch of mixed powder was completed.
Seeing this, Hu Changan didn't waste any time, and quickly ordered people to carefully load the mixed powder into a truck, and then transported it all the way to Chang'an Street.
At this time on Chang'an Street, craftsmen were already standing guard on the roadside.
Although Hu Changan did not notify them to start work a few days ago, they still have the necessary professional ethics.
Their wages have been paid, and they have to stay here regardless of whether they work or not.
However, today is destined to be a busy day.
A carriage carrying mixed powder slowly drove onto the dirt road that had been roughly leveled.
Seeing this, the foreman hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Hu Changan and his party with a smile.
When Hu Changan saw the foreman, he didn't say too much nonsense. He just calmly ordered: "Please mix the water evenly into the powder."
"The paste is formed by mixing. Please spread it evenly on the ground."
"Remember, it must be applied evenly."
"You must use the brush I gave you."
Hu Changan has specially designed a brush for these craftsmen in the past few days.
This brush is made of bamboo and can create a smooth surface with just one brush.
This kind of brush is a bit like the wall brushes of later generations.
There are no large-scale road rollers at the moment, so Hu Changan can only force the workers to work by hand.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang sent enough craftsmen to Hu Changan, so Hu Changan was not afraid of shortage of manpower.
Seeing that Hu Changan had spoken, everyone also claimed that he was right.
For a time, everyone was very busy.
When Hu Changan saw this, he nodded with satisfaction.
According to this progress, I'm afraid everyone will be able to call it a day and have a nice meal by noon today.
