1.48 Bathroom water tower
"In November of winter, yin and yang compete, and blood and energy dissipate. On the winter solstice, there are five days each, and sleep outside. Buy white dogs to raise them to serve the ancestors. On the winter solstice, recommend millet (cake made of millet flour). First recommend Xuanming and ancestors. He went to wine and food, and paid a visit to the elders. The inkstone was frozen, so he ordered young children to enter elementary school and read the chapters of "The Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius". He could brew marinade and cut bamboo and wood."
The grain enters the warehouse and the house continues to be built. After the warehouse building is built, the next thing to be built is the water tower.
The water tower looks like a look at the building. It stands west of the front yard and is parallel to the well railing.
The tower body is framed with solid wood, tamped with earth, and is covered with brick walls, which is very solid. There is a staircase inside, which can be reached on the top of the tower.
The biggest difference from the Wanglou is that the upper pavilion is not used to stand people, but to store water. It is not difficult to build a leak-free water tank. Haven’t you seen that boats and boats coming and going on the rivers are not leaking, let alone a hexagonal box.
First make the keel, then put it together with wooden boards, and seal the gaps with tung putty ash, and the craftsmen quickly completed the work. Just in case, Liu Bei asked the craftsmen to strengthen it with hemp rope and then build brick walls.
The biggest problem is here.
You need to fly a keel from the well rail to the box to overturn it to draw water!
This is actually not a problem.
The inclined ladder covers the road and the flying frame is scattered. Just fill in the gaps and do not leak water.
What's the difficulty?
Take the fish glue, fill the gaps with fine caulking, and do not leak water. Then place the overturn in the overturn, and it will be completed soon!
After the water is used up, you can climb the stairs and overturn the car and draw water again. This is repeated, which is worry-free and labor-saving than the previous bucket of water.
November is a good time to cut down wood and bamboo.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei first built the water tower and underground pipelines.
The new scroll has been given to Geng Yong. Geng Yong used the picture to make the samples, sent them into the dragon kiln, and fired into celadon. It's just...
What is the purpose of this utensil with a square shell and an egg-shaped inside?
Liu Bei replied and told me: Bath tub.
Geng Yong suddenly realized.
Liu Bei wants to build a bathroom that can burn hot water.
Ancient bathhouses, also known as moctang, were usually made of large stones and built domes with bricks. Behind it is a large pot connected to the bathhouse, and a special person boils water. The hot water is transmitted to the pool water through the wheel and mixed with it for people to bathe.
"Wu Yu, a large stone is used as a pond, a brick is used for the dome curtain, and a giant cauldron is behind it, which is connected to the pond, and the wheel is used to attract the wall to store it. One person holds it... the water of the pond is swallowed together, and it becomes a boiling soup, called the Huntang." This is the public bathhouse.
The principle is not complicated.
There is no difficulty in making it. The only difficulty is marble.
It doesn't matter if there isn't.
Besides, it doesn’t need to be as huge as a public bath for one family.
So Liu Bei took a different approach and replaced it with a celadon bathtub.
Bathing and toileting are the most critical functions of the water tower.
Laying water pipes is also an urgent task. Fortunately, the floor in the yard is covered with bricks. Carefully uncover, dig the soil to form a canal, build three brick walls, lay bamboo pipes, cover them with loess, and then cover them with floor tiles, and the pipes are formed.
It took another full term, and the water tower and pipelines were all built.
I originally planned to build the corridor on the wall and the four-sided corner building. However, Cui Jun wrote a letter saying that a guest came to visit with a gift and asked Liu Bei to expand the stable in case of needs.
Where are the guests? They also bring great gifts?
The words were vague, and Liu Bei was confused. However, Cui Jun was a sincere gentleman and would never talk nonsense. Since that was the case, then build a stable first.
The newly built backyard is deep and wide. Against the west wall of the backyard, a whole row of large stables were built.
There are two floors above and below the stable. The bottom floor is a single-row stable. The horses in the stable are lined up in a horizontal row, one side is a passage. They can accommodate twenty horses. The upper floor is a warehouse, separated by a weed room, a saddle room, a tool room and other annexes.
The stable is simple, with materials, people and hands, and is built soon.
I found Su Shuang from the Ma City and looked carefully. Su Shuang said that it is best to lay a layer of river sand in the horse room. It can not only absorb moisture and keep warm, but also prevent odor. Liu Bei agreed deeply. He immediately found someone to buy river sand. He snatched the horse room in front of the broken ice and spread the horse room.
The most surprising thing is Su Shuang.
After several months, Liu Bei's house has changed drastically!
The large stable that can hold twenty horses is nothing more than the Hu Shangshu in the horse market!
If it were just Sheng Huang Piao and Qing Zhu, and there were also Bai Qiao, why should it be so extravagant?
Su Shuang was secretly shocked. He thought again, how much money would it cost to fill this stable? A good horse would cost twenty gold. A good horse would cost three hundred and forty gold!
The old craftsmen's surname is Su, and they are all called Su Bo.
After the family moved to Lousang Village, the village was built with great efforts and made great efforts. Therefore, the Liu clan also respectfully called him Su Bo. Because the Liu Bei family built the most, the craftsmen imitated Su Bo and all called Liu Bei's young master.
As he shouted, Liu Bei got used to it.
The fortress of Liu Bei's family was not a day's work. Liu Bei was not anxious, and built one by one. Anyway, he was only eight years old, so there were only time. Don't you see that there were many old houses built in one or two hundred years later?
After winter, the city was closed, and Hu merchants evacuated their responsibilities and left. Before the road was blocked with heavy snow, they had to rush back to the Saibei grassland.
Liu Bei then stayed Su Shuang at his home for a long time. Su Shuang did not postpone it, and he raised horses for Liu Bei all day long, and enjoyed it.
Shortly after Liu Bei left, Geng Yong visited with a boat.
In addition to continuing to bring various miscellaneous books to Liu Bei, Geng Yong wanted to see what Liu Bei's bathroom looked like most.
Liu Bei led Geng Yong to visit him.
The bathroom is still in the west wing of the middle hall. However, the original wooden floor has become a celadon tiles all over the floor. At present, the body is dense and hard, the body is light green, and the sound is crisp. The glaze layer is even. The body and glaze are tightly combined, the glaze color is blue and green, and the glaze surface is even.
Geng’s family in Laoyadu is the master of this. The celadon tiles at Liu Bei’s house are from Geng’s dragon kiln.
The price is not cheap, one hundred yuan.
Only when Geng Yong saw the real thing did he realize the beauty of qing tiles.
The one placed in it is a celadon bathtub, which is covered with hemp blankets to absorb water. Another tent is also set up. The tent is supported by the cowhide made of nitrogen and is hazy and translucent. It is surrounded by the bathtub, and it is unknown what it is used for. I asked Liu Bei and said: Warm tents. They are used to keep warm in winter.
It seems that some copper pipes are connected to the ground, but I don’t know what it is for.
I have asked about it that well water is made of bamboo pipes and boiling water is made of copper pipes. They are all hidden on the ground. There are wooden plugs in the pipe. Pull out the water flow and stuff it into the water. It is very convenient.
Liu Bei said that cold water needs to wait for the water tower to be completed, and hot water needs to wait for the boiler to be completed.
I'm going to see the boiler room again.
The so-called boiler refers to a pot or stove. A large iron pot that is larger than a marching pot is built on the stove. The large pot and the bathtub are connected with copper pipes. The hot water is transmitted to the bathtub through the wheel and mixed with the well water sent from the water tower for bathing.
Geng Yong, who thought carefully and wanted to get through the clues, couldn't help but admire him.
Such a clever trick, is it just for bathing?
Liu Bei is not someone!
Of course, if Geng Yong asked, Liu Bei would give a serious answer, in addition to taking a bath, he would also go to the toilet.
Surrounding Liu Bei's old house, looking left and right, Geng Yong was even more amazed.
A glimpse of the whole leopard can be seen.
Liu Bei spent his time building an old house and those unique and ingenious designs, which are extremely accessible!
What if he waits for him to win?
By then, will he still be satisfied with the deep courtyard and heavy buildings and high shelves?
Chapter completed!
