Chapter 224: House Yunyan

On the second morning, Ren Baqian went to the Ministry of Works again. He saw Tong Zhenye and asked, "Sir Tong, how is the cement now?"

"Let's go together to take a look," Tong Zhenye said. "I haven't had the time to check on it yet."

As Tong Zhenye was the minister in the Ministry of Works, he had a broader outlook on matters than most people and his concern for the cement was also much higher.

When they reached the backyard, they saw the pile of cement that was mixed yesterday and a block that consisted of two stones cemented together.

Ren Baqian used the tip of his toe to feel it and found it to be very hard.
