The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 328 Hardship (three more)
Shen Zhou carried the water horizontally and walked to the bonfire, "This bowl is clean and has never been used."

"Oh!" Meng Manteng looked at him in surprise.

"We use both crude pottery bowls and wooden bowls. This one is specially for adults." Shen Zhou said, looking at him with bright and lustrous eyes.

This kid can not only be an official but also a man. Meng Manteng took a sip of water from the bowl and felt that his throat was much more comfortable, "Wow... this water is so sweet."

"The water of Qingfeng Gorge is called sweet water by the local people, and it is worth it!" Shen Zhouheng slightly tilted his head to look at him and said.

"The repair of this canal will not only solve the local drinking water problem, but also solve the irrigation problem." Meng Manteng smiled at him with dark eyes.

"Yeah! I hope it will be repaired soon." Shen Zhouheng looked at him with a smile on his honest face.

"I think your conditions are very difficult!" Meng Manteng looked straight at him and said, although this cave can't be seen inside, but you can see what's inside by looking at the entrance of the cave.

It's good to sleep in a cave, and some sleep in the leeward place under the cliff, not to mention the bed, just a bed with hay, the quilt looks tattered, as if it is only a bed.

"Is it cold?" Meng Manteng looked at him with concern and asked.

"Fortunately, it's on fire, so I don't feel cold at all." Shen Zhou's light brown eyes looked at him and said politely.

"Is there any difficulty? Even if you mention it, Lord Ye said when you came, try to satisfy you as much as possible." Meng Manteng looked directly at him and said.

"In this life, we can solve it on our own, is this the tool?" Shen Zhouheng looked at him and said, "You have come all the way, the stones and rock walls on this mountain are too expensive."

"I'll report back to the adults and try to satisfy you." Meng Manteng replied cheerfully, holding a bowl and drank the water in one go, "Take me to see the canal you dug."

"Okay!" Shen Zhouheng immediately stood up happily and said, "Give me the bowl." He took the empty bowl in his hand and put it back slyly.

He held another rattan hat and handed it to Meng Manteng, "Mr. Meng put this on."

"What is this for?" Meng Manteng took the hat, looked at the hat on his head and said, "I see that everyone here is wearing it!"

"Those protecting the head, there are a lot of rocks on this mountain, it's okay to hit the head with a bag, but I'm afraid that it will hurt the inside, and it won't be cured." Shen Zhou patted his hat horizontally.

"Master Shen is very thoughtful!" Meng Manteng put his hat on his head, "It's good."

Shen Zhouheng led Meng Manteng to the canal, introducing many simple devices on the canal along the way.

"Why did the reels on the well come back?" Meng Manteng asked curiously.

"It's good to transport the tools up and down from the bottom of the mountain, and transport the gravel down, paving the road is also good." Shen Zhouheng said with a smile.

"You really make the most of everything!" Meng Manteng pointed his finger at him and smiled.

"It's a pity to throw it away. The villagers smashed it down with a hammer and a hammer. It's a good stone." Shen Zhou looked at him with warm eyes and said.

Meng Manteng followed Shen Zhou into the tunnel and exclaimed in amazement, "It's so far." He looked up at the high top, "It's so high, it's not easy to dig."

"It's okay! It's easy to do, I don't think it's too difficult." Shen Zhou put his index finger on the brim of his hat, raised his head and looked at the top.

"What are these bamboo pipes for?" Meng Manteng pointed at the dense bamboo pipes above his head.

He knew that the wooden frame was to prevent landslides, but what was the bamboo for?
"After calcining the rock, it needs to be cooled quickly with water. These bamboo tubes are running water, and the amount of water is huge!" Shen Zhouheng explained in detail.

"What's the effect?" Meng Manteng asked, looking at him with bright eyes.

"Effect?" Shen Zhou looked around and said, looking at him with deep and upright eyes, "What do you think, Master Meng?"

Meng Manteng looked at him with a funny look and said, "It's beyond imagination." He praised without hesitation, "Master Shen, don't worry, I will report back like Master Ye when I go back."

"Thank you Lord Meng for your kind words." Shen Zhou saluted with his fists folded.

"This is what I really saw, I'll tell the truth." Meng Manteng looked at him with a smile and said, "Let's go! Let's take a look inside."

Shen Zhouheng led the way towards the tunnel.

"It's getting hotter and hotter!" Meng Manteng clearly felt the heat wave coming.

"It's calcining the rock wall." Shen Zhouheng said with a smile.

"I can take a look at this." Meng Manteng looked at him with shining eyes and said.

"Of course." Shen Zhouheng readily agreed.

The two walked forward, and the more they walked, the hotter it became, and they saw the blazing fire in front of them from a distance.

"Will the fire be too big?" Meng Manteng said worriedly, "Will it cause a fire?"

"How does this stone burn?" Shen Zhouheng said with a smile, "When the firewood is burnt, it will go out on its own."

"Then it's pretty good to work like this, it won't freeze!" Meng Manteng stopped, tilted his head slightly, looked at him and said happily.

Shen Zhou said with a wry smile, "I'll know it won't be so easy when I get some water."

"Uh..." Meng Manteng reached out and scratched his head in embarrassment, but he forgot the hat on his head and grabbed it directly.

"Then how will the water flow out?" Meng Manteng looked at Shen Zhouheng in surprise and asked, "In such a cold day, isn't the water freezing?"

"Lord Meng, let's wait patiently and show you later." Shen Zhou said gently as he looked at him with his warm eyes.

"Okay, I'll wait here." Meng Manteng said with a smile, and stopped, pointing to the bamboo pipe that was placed above his head, "Will it leak at this interface?"

"It leaked at first, and then it was thinned and wrapped with hay, so it seldom leaked." Shen Zhou said with his fingers crossed, "At first, the leak was more exaggerated than the rain."

"Then what should I do if there is standing water on the ground? My feet can't stand it in such a cold day." Meng Manteng looked down at the wooden boots on his feet, "It's inconvenient to wear!"

"Anyway, keep warm. If you don't wear cotton shoes, they will soon get wet." Shen Zhouheng raised his feet and smiled, "This one is not afraid of water, just stuff more cotton wool to keep you warm."

"It's inconvenient to walk!" Meng Manteng looked up at him and said, "I also crossed it. It's very strenuous to walk, and it will definitely be unbearable after a long time."

"It's alright! Once you get used to it, you won't feel tired anymore." Shen Zhouheng said with a smile. He was not used to it at first, but now he is walking on the mountain road wearing these wooden boots.

Meng Manteng looked at the man who was much younger than himself with some admiration.

It is true that Shen Zhouheng proposed to open a mountain and dig a canal. The plan is detailed and feasible, and it is impeccable.

He didn't expect that Shen Zhouheng would sit in the town himself and eat and live with those peasants.
