This is to make homemade cement slabs, and eighteen blanks were completed in one morning, just waiting to dry and harden.
So Ma Lin asked these people to make another eighteen.
His own experiments with this cement showed that they are quite solid and not prone to cracking.
However, he has not yet tested whether they would have problems in extreme heat and cold weather.
The ten people firing ceramic bricks are visitors, but they work very skillfully.
If you want to fire more bricks at a time, the kiln should be built larger.
When he wanted to fire bricks in Hongshi Village and Nanstone Village, the labor was intense.
The local area had neither iron tools nor carts, so clay had to be dug with stones and carried in baskets, which was as slow as it could get.
Now with shovels and two-wheeled carts, digging and transporting are very easy.
The most troublesome part is processing the clay and making brick blanks.
