Wearing the shopping mall through the 70s

Chapter 20 Drilling a foreign well

This trip was quite rewarding!

Most of the medicinal materials she collected were transplanted into space, and a small amount was sold for money.She decided to learn medicine on her own so that if someone in the family had a headache or fever, she would be able to treat him.

There are many books on medicine in the mall, including one called The Inheritance of Miracle Doctors, but this one is extremely expensive, costing 1 yuan!Shen Ruoqing now only has more than 6000 yuan in his entire body. He can't afford this miracle doctor's inheritance for the time being, so he only spent a few hundred yuan on a few ordinary introductory books.

There are many good things in the mall, such as powerful pills, beauty pills, body enhancement solutions, and even secret recipes for childbirth, etc.These secret elixirs are not cheap. The cheapest secret recipe for childbirth costs 500 yuan.

Shen Ruoqing didn't need these things for the time being. She wanted to buy the Dali Pill before, but it cost 5000 yuan. Shen Ruoqing didn't think it was cost-effective. Besides, after taking the physical enhancement liquid, Shen Ruoqing felt that her strength had become a little stronger, so she didn't. I no longer think about buying Dali Pills.

It was almost time, Shen Ruoqing dug some more wild vegetables and put them in the bamboo basket, ready to go down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Shen Ruoqing occasionally saw one or two pheasants flying past, but she couldn't catch them because she didn't know how to hunt.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any large animals and we went down the mountain safely.

"Girl Ruoqing, you're going to dig wild vegetables again."

"Yes, Auntie, although we have received new grains, my family is not given enough vegetables, so we have to dig out wild vegetables to make do with what we have."

"Girl Ruoqing, I heard that the policy above has been liberalized and private land is now allowed. Then your mother can open more land at home to grow vegetables and so on, so as to save you from having to dig wild vegetables every day."

Are you allowed to leave private land?
This is really good news.

Shen Ruoqing thanked the aunt and walked quickly home.

"Mom, I heard that the higher-ups allow private land!"

"Yeah, I'm asking the third child to go to the captain to queue up to get the seeds." Mrs. Ji got the news a long time ago and sent Shen Xiangxi to queue up to get the seeds early in the morning.

Shen Ruoqing nodded and took out the wild vegetables.

"My dear, we have enough food at home now, so don't go digging for wild vegetables. Look at how tanned you are these days." Mrs. Ji felt a little distressed.

Got a tan?I always put on sunscreen.

Shen Ruoqing said: "Mom, don't think that this granola is a wild vegetable, but it is also a medicinal material. Last time I asked the purchasing station in the county, they also accepted this granola, and it cost [-] cents a pound, but they wanted it. Dried and sun-dried.”

"Thirty cents a pound! Let Erya and Sanya dig with you tomorrow."

Shen Xiangxi brought back seeds, but they only had cabbage, radish, tomato, potato, and pepper seeds, and he also brought some bad news.

"The river on the brigade has dried up. From now on, every household will have to ration their water."

"What should we do? This rice has just been planted. Our private plot also needs watering."

"The captain is also very worried now. It's impossible to rely only on the well in the village. Otherwise, we will have to carry water from the next village."

"Mom, let's dig a well, otherwise we won't be able to grow vegetables at all."

Shen Ruoqing once again asked to dig a well.She tried it with the detection function, and there happened to be a spot with a depth of 20 meters in Shen's yard where there was water flow.This time everyone was silent for a while.

"Even if you hire a well-drilling master, you may not be able to draw water."

"Don't worry about this, I have a way to get the water out."

"What can you do?"

"I've read in a book about a place where water can come out. This area of ​​our yard happens to be a depression, and the book says that this is the easiest place for water to come out."

"Can this work?"

In the end, Mrs. Ji agreed to dig a well.

The Shen Xiangdong brothers knew that the family was rich.Shen Dahai was killed when he went mining. The construction site paid 800 yuan as compensation. This money must not be used. He did not expect that Mrs. Ji would use this money to dig a well.Shen Ruoqing didn't know that there was still this money, so she just thought it was Mrs. Ji who wanted to exchange the small yellow croaker for money.

The matter of drilling the well was thus decided.Shen Xiangdong asked for the price.

Nowadays, more and more people are digging foreign wells, but in this day and age, many people are wasting their money and cannot produce water.But this has not prevented the price of drilling a foreign well from rising. In the past, the cheapest one to drill a foreign well cost only 40 yuan, but now the cheapest one costs 55 yuan, and if it is far away, you have to give it to someone else. Five yuan for travel expenses included.The deeper the well, the higher the price. If you want to drill a deep well, you have to pay [-] yuan. This price is enough to build two more houses.

a few days later.

Three well-drilling masters entered Dashoudou Village in an ox cart.

Shen Ruoqing was very happy and took out Big Rooster cigarettes and asked Shen Xiangdong to distribute them to the well diggers.

When several well diggers saw that there was still smoke here, they immediately had a better impression of Shen Xiangdong's family.

"Master, we want to drill a deep well. The deeper the better, because we want better water quality, but we're afraid it won't be enough. What do you think is the right way to drill it?"

Shen Ruoqing said.

Although the person who opened the mouth was a girl, which made several well-drilling masters a little unhappy, but after all, it was the master who gave them cigarettes, so they still replied: "A deep well must be more than 20 meters long, so that the water quality can be guaranteed. Of course." It would be better if we can drill more than 30 meters. Anyway, the deeper the water quality, the better. However, we can only drill a well of 35 meters at most, but we can’t drill any deeper. The key is that we don’t have such a long well gun. And it’s over 15 meters. For a deep well, it costs one yuan per meter, because it is difficult to drill after all.”

"Then let's hit the deepest 35 meters." After saying that, Shen Ruoqing looked at Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji also nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Master."

"No problem, but let's talk ugly first. No matter whether water is produced or not in the end, our money will still be collected. Even if no water is produced, your family will still have to pay this money. We are not responsible. We are only responsible for digging wells. .”

"We all understand the rules. Please be more considerate, master. The masters will eat at my house at noon. Work slowly and don't rush."

Several people were naturally very happy when they heard that there was still food for lunch.After all, every household doesn’t have enough to eat these days, so even if they go out to dig a well, they have to bring their own dry food. When they haven’t dug a well for a long time, they eat outside.

Several well-drilling masters arrived at the location designated by Shen Ruoqing and started working.At this time, drilling foreign wells actually means using a well bludgeon to dig into the ground bit by bit. The well blunderbuss is like a Luoyang shovel, which shovels out the soil from the ground section by section until water comes out. The overall situation is Great strength can produce miracles, and it depends entirely on human power.

The few people who came here have rich experience in drilling wells. Although there are only three people, they all perform their duties. Two people are responsible for collecting soil, and one person is responsible for adjusting the length of accessories. The three people work together very skillfully.
