Chapter 97 Sweet Water
Breakfast at the groom's house is still porridge, but this time there is meat in the porridge.

Shen Zhou looked at Qin Laowu and asked, "What's going on?"

"This was originally a food box for Lao Shao's family, but now that the marriage can't be done, the meat will be taken back naturally." Qin Laowu's dark eyes looked at him and explained, "Now I don't know if this marriage will happen or not. This meat can't be kept for a long time, it will go bad. It's safe to eat them early."

Shen Zhou moved his mouth sideways, but he didn't speak.

After breakfast, Shen Zhou put a basket on his back, followed Qin Laowu and Qin Liangzhu to carry a wooden barrel to Qingfeng Gorge.

Qin Liangzhu, this child, is in a hurry. When this happened, go to work and save your thoughts.

Walking on the mountain road, Shen Zhouheng and the others trekked with difficulty. On the way, they also met seven or eight villages, all of which were small natural villages, and they seemed to be poor.

"There are fewer people, and there are fewer strong laborers." Qin Laowu introduced as he walked, "Summer is better, and only one person can go out in winter."

Shen Zhouheng understood after hearing the words, there is not enough clothes, that is, whoever goes out, whoever gets dressed.

"It's okay for me to sew and mend clothes, but they can't make up decent clothes." Qin Laowu looked at the village halfway up the mountain with dull eyes.

Lu Ming looked at him breathlessly and asked, "Can this support you?"

Qin Laowu stopped and waited for the two of them to say, "If you only drink porridge, you can barely maintain a round belly." Pointing to the terraced fields, "I just rely on God to eat, fortunately they are far from Qingfeng Gorge, and it is more convenient for me to carry water than me. some."

"What about the yield per mu?" Shen Zhouheng looked at him and asked.

"This land is not good. There is no water, and there is not enough manure. It will only hold [-] to [-] catties." Qin Laowu looked at the fields and said, "This five acres of fertile land can almost support one person. About [-] acres. It has to be carefully served."

Shen Zhouheng slandered in his heart: This is about the same as what he estimated.

Qin Liangzhu was a little surprised, isn't this Young Master Shen a businessman?What does this ask for?Could it be a grain merchant? We are not in a large grain-producing county, so it is not suitable at all.

But he didn't say this, and turned around and asked his fifth uncle in private, what was this son Shen doing?

Qin Laowu waited for them to follow and continued to walk forward.

Shen Zhouheng believed that he was in good health, but he was still not as good as the uncle and nephew of the Qin family.

On the winding and rugged mountain road, it was like walking on flat ground, and it was very fast.

"In our county, has the fifth child been there?" Shen Zhou asked as he walked.

"I've been there." Qin Laowu said with a bit of contentment, and said with a smile, "The output of this land alone can't support my wife and children, so we went out to find work to do. So this county Let me run all over the place."

"Looking for work? What are you doing?" Shen Zhouheng looked at him with interest and asked.

"I'm not like you have ink in your stomach, and the country people can only pay for coolies." Qin Laowu looked at him calmly and said.

"This county is so small, what are you doing?" Lu Ming asked curiously, "It's not like the pier next to the canal can carry sacks."

"My fifth uncle is an excellent mason. He builds houses for others. He is very good at building beams." Qin Liangzhu looked at them proudly and said, "My fifth uncle can do repairs on this house."

"If you have a craft, you won't have to worry about being hungry." Shen Zhou's clear eyes looked at them and said gently.

"As long as I can support my family, I'm not afraid of enduring hardships, but I'm afraid that I won't have a job." Qin Laowu's bright black eyes looked at him and smiled naively.

"Oh!" Lu Ming raised his eyes and looked at the green in front of him, "Is it coming soon?"

"How did Brother Lu know?" Qin Laowu looked at him in surprise and said.

"It's more green in front!" Lu Ming pointed at Qingshan Road in the distance.

"Is that Qingfeng Gorge?" Shen Zhou put his hands on his forehead and looked at the intoxicating green in front of him, which was really refreshing.

"Victory is in sight, let's do our best." Shen Zhou looked at them with a bright smile on his face.

The group walked for nearly an hour before reaching their destination.

"I heard the sound of water." Lu Ming jumped up happily, "Master, I have never thought the sound of water was so pleasant."

Shen Zhouheng looked at the childish him and smiled. In fact, he did the same, never felt that water was so precious.

Running over in one breath, Lu Ming looked left and right, looked at the towering rock wall in front of him, and looked up at the sky, "This is a thin line of sky."

"There will be water about a mile in." Qin Laowu took the lead and walked in with an empty wooden bucket.

After walking about [-] paces, I saw a pool of water.

"Can I drink it?" Lu Ming said excitedly.

"Of course, it's still sweet!" Qin Laowu smiled until his eyes became crescent moons, and handed him the water scoop in the wooden bucket, "Pick it up with a water scoop, you can't destroy the water source."

Lu Ming was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately took the water scoop, slandering in his heart: It's quite particular.

He scooped water with a ladle, washed his hands, then took the other water bladder around his waist, rinsed it, filled it with water, and took a few sips, looking at Shen Zhou with bright eyes, "Master, this is Spring water, sweet and refreshing, is the best for making tea." He said regretfully, "It's a pity we didn't bring any tea."

Shen Zhou untied the water bladder tied to his waist and said, "Give me some decorations."

"Hey!" Luming plugged his water bladder and placed it on the pebbles, then took the sinking water bladder, poured out the remaining sip of water, and refilled it with spring water.

Shen Zhouheng took his own water bladder and filled it twice, his eyes were also bright as stars, "Good water."

"Is this water that good?" Qin Liangzhu looked at the exaggerated two and said, "It's very sweet, and the boiled porridge is very delicious, sticky, soft and smooth." Touching his stomach, he said stupidly, "I can Drink a pot."

"Is this water so big?" Shen Zhou looked down at the slap-sized pool. The place was very clean, and the big bluestone was slippery because of how slippery it was.

"There's less water now. In summer, there's a lot of rain, and the place we're standing on will be flooded." Qin Laowu pointed to the ground and said, "That's all, no matter how much, it doesn't seem to be able to survive, so it's just enough for us. Pick it up."

"Can't it be expanded?" Shen Zhouheng looked around and said, this place is naturally like a well, or a deep well.

"It's useless to expand, the water flow is so big." Qin Laowu took the water ladle, scooped a ladle of water, away from the pool, looked at Qin Liangzhu and said, "Come and hold it."

"Oh!" Qin Liangzhu took two steps to take the water ladle, washed his hands upside down, and then Qin Laowu took the water with both hands and drank it happily.

Qin Laowu, who was full, scooped up another ladle of water, and asked Qin Liangzhu to wash and drink water. He died of thirst along the way.
