Chapter 376 Digging a Well

In the early morning, in the courtyard of the new house, Li Feng, Xiaohu, Rou Niang, and the whole family began to take their places, and of course, Xiao Hei was absolutely indispensable.Next to it, there are various tools, hoes, iron picks, shovels, bamboo baskets, baskets and so on.The reason for preparing these things is because there is a big project to start today.

Li Feng decided to dig a well in the yard starting today.

In fact, this was not a sudden decision, but was planned long ago. In fact, there was no other way. Too much trouble.It is more convenient to drill a well directly at home.

Digging wells was completely unfamiliar to Li Feng.In the rural areas of later generations, basically, every household has a water well.Although it costs some money to hire someone to dig a well, for the convenience of water, everyone still chooses to dig a well at home.

However, in this Tang Dynasty, digging a well in one's own yard was something that only rich families could do.For ordinary people, no one does it.Maybe it's because it's not cost-effective to spend such a lot of trouble, and in addition, there is not much water used every day.Digging wells is not only time-consuming, but also expensive.

Therefore, this matter of digging a well is quite strange to everyone.If Li Feng hadn't brought it up, everyone wouldn't have thought about it at all.However, since Li Feng proposed it, his family must all support it.Besides, if you think about it carefully, it is really convenient to have a well in your home, isn't it?

"Brother Li, dig a well here. Can it work?"

However, for this matter, Rou Niang and the others still have no idea, and are very worried, if they can't dig out water, then what to do.Seeing that Li Feng was about to start work, Rou Niang still asked worriedly.

"It shouldn't be a problem. Our place is already at the foot of the mountain. The terrain is not high. If we dig out the water, it won't be a big problem. It's a big deal, just dig a little deeper."

Hearing Rou Niang's question, Li Feng could only raise his head and look around for a while.Speak up.Although he didn't dare to guarantee it, but he wasn't too worried.As he said, the big deal is to dig deeper.As for Rou Niang and the others' worries, that's because.They had seen so little of such things that it was natural to worry.

"Okay. Don't think too much about it. Even if you can't dig out the water, it's nothing. It's just a waste of time. It's all about exercising, haha."

After Li Feng explained a few sentences, he stopped talking, grabbed the big shovel, and started to act.Still just started.Digging the surface, no doubt about it.With a large shovel, the efficiency is the fastest.Anyway, Li Feng has great strength and the shovel is also strong. In this way, Li Feng didn't need to use his feet at all, but directly grabbed the shovel with both hands, and dug quickly.

This is why Li Feng relied on his extraordinary strength to do this. You must know that although the soil on the surface is not very firm, it is definitely not loose.

Li Feng kept digging with shovel after shovel. Xiaohu and the others immediately put the soil they dug out into the big basket.

Wells dug in rural areas are generally not very large, with a diameter of only 1.5 meters.In doing so, its purpose is, of course, to reduce the amount of work.Anyway, as small as possible.However, Li Feng doesn't pay attention to that here, the diameter of the opening is three meters.

Doing so would certainly double the amount of work, but Li Feng still decided to do so.There is no way, Li Feng is really a little scared, if the well is too small, people will feel very depressed when the time comes, it is definitely like being in confinement.Anyway, he relied on brute strength and didn't care about the amount of work.Besides, the space is wider, and his speed can be improved a lot.

Facts have proved that Li Feng's idea is right.The open space made it possible for him to dig down very smoothly with his short shovel without using other tools at all.After a while, Li Feng was no longer visible on the ground.

"Xiaohu, Sister Yang, come on, set this thing up"

At this point in the digging, Li Feng could no longer get the soil out directly. At this time, he could only lift the soil up with a basket and a rope.So Rou Niang began to direct the crowd and began to install wooden shelves.Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pulley frame.

"Brother Li, take a rest for a while, don't be too tired, if you are tired, let Xiaohu go down and dig for a while"

After everything is ready, of course, continue to work.However, because the soil could not be shoveled out, but the soil had to be put into a basket first, and then Rou Niang and the others got it up, so Li Feng's speed began to slow down.In addition, after digging below, the action will always be affected to some extent.As a result, it made Li Feng a little bit strenuous.

Rou Niang and the others can imagine how hard it is to dig earth and rocks without going down to experience it personally, which makes Rou Niang and the others feel distressed for a while.

"I know, it's okay, just this small job, it won't bother me."

As the digging got deeper and deeper, Li Feng didn't feel tired, but just felt a little bored. However, in order to finish the work earlier, he didn't slow down at all, but worked harder.

When you are busy, time always passes the fastest, and it is noon before you know it.Over there, Yang Jie had already prepared lunch, and Li Feng quickly climbed up from the bottom of the well, ready to serve.As the saying goes, people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.What's more, after such a high-intensity labor, Li Feng also felt his stomach growling.

However, when Li Feng climbed to the mouth of the well, he suddenly saw a human head, and almost scared him so much that he fell back into the well.

"I said Qi Ye, you old man, can you say a word first? Do you know that scaring people can scare people to death. Although we are very familiar with your old face, but you are so quiet, hey... ..."

After a while, Li Feng finally regained his composure and did not fall. However, he was really taken aback by Qi Ye.

"Go, you're timid. Blame me, the old man. The old man hasn't said he was taken aback by you. Look at your appearance now... By the way, what are you doing, digging a well?"

Qi Ye didn't care about Li Feng's complaint at all, and instead made fun of Li Feng.At this moment, Li Feng's whole body looks like a mud monkey.However, Qi Ye was even more curious, why Li Feng thought of digging a well at home.

"Have you eaten yet? Let's go, let's drink and chat"

Regarding Qiye's question, Li Feng didn't rush to answer, instead he went to the side to wash his hands and face first.Originally, I wanted to ask Master Qi if he had eaten, but he soon stopped asking.This old man.As long as the meal time comes, it must be to eat and drink.

Everyone in the family had long been accustomed to Qiye's coming, so after a few casual greetings.Everyone takes their places, and then.The leftovers from the meal, the wine from the drinker.

"You boy, you haven't answered my question yet."

After sitting down, Qi Ye took a sip of wine, and then, another big piece of fat came, and turned his head again.Asked Li Feng.

"Isn't it just digging a well? What else can I do? Dig a well at home. You don't have to run all day to the west of the village. Besides, it doesn't take much effort. Once you dig it, it will be convenient from now on." Well, why not do it."

Li Feng didn't care about Qi Ye's fuss.

"Well, this is indeed a good idea. Lazy people always have lazy ways. Then you should hurry up and do it. There is a shortage of manpower. When the time comes, let me know and I will send someone to help. Wait until you finish it here, see Let’s see how it works. If it’s feasible, we’ll dig one in the yard from door to door at that time, and it’s really convenient that we don’t have to go out to fetch water, especially in this winter…”

"Great man, you used me as an experiment."

After listening to Qiye's words, Li Feng finally came to his senses, and looked at what Qiye said with a speechless face.

"Ha ha……"

Regarding Li Feng's words, Qi Ye did not answer with a smile, and then started eating and drinking again.Needless to say, people really meant that.Actually, Li Feng was just pretending to be depressed.

A lunch ended in such small talk. After eating, Li Feng wanted to continue working.However, unfortunately, he was stopped by the old man again.

"Well, I came here today mainly to ask for your opinion. I want to renovate all the huts in the village. Do you think it is feasible?"

Looking at Li Feng who had stopped, Qi Ye was quite cheerful, and got straight to the point, explaining the purpose of his visit.

"Renovate the hut? Oh, what you mean is that you plan to make all of them indoors. No... Forget it, old man, just tell me what you want to do, what can I do?"

After hearing Qi Ye's words, Li Feng suddenly understood a little bit.Ever since the old man had gone to the toilet several times in the bathroom of Li Feng's new house.For this peculiar hut, it is full of praise.Now, since he brought it up, there is no doubt that he must have come here as well.

Of course, Li Feng would not have any opinion on this.Li Feng has already learned about the so-called public toilets in the village.Of course, Li Feng is very happy to change the condition of this hut and greatly improve the sanitation conditions in the village.

However, Li Feng couldn't figure out what Qi Ye planned to do.

"Actually, everything else is easy to talk about. How to build this hut, the old man, I already care about it in my heart. Now, the only trouble is that without your cement, this hut will not be easy to fix. At that time, even if it is done , is also four different, so this time..."

"I thought it was something, just for this matter, as for what. Wait, I'll go get that formula right away."

When Li Feng heard it, he finally understood what was going on.It's no wonder Qi Ye was a little embarrassed, after all, it involved the matter of cement.In this day and age, special attention is paid to this kind of thing.For example, the brewing method of Erguotou, Qi Ye and Lao Tie are unwilling to watch from the sidelines no matter what.

It's a pity that Li Feng has a completely different idea about this kind of thing.Since he doesn't plan to use these things to make money, for Li Feng, there is no need to keep them secret.
