The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 53 Dip the pig cage?
The bamboo forest in front of the forest started to grow sparsely, but they were just small bamboos. Chu Ying went to the small bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain to cut some long and thin bamboos and brought them back. She split them in half with a stone ax and cleaned the bamboo partitions in the middle. Cut out several holes with wild boar bones and stones at the bottom of the bamboo slices, and place one at a distance from each other in the wheat field.

Then put a larger piece of bamboo on the front of the bamboo piece placed horizontally, Chu Ying poured a spoonful of water but it all leaked on the front bamboo piece, Chu Ying tried to take a whole piece of bamboo and cut it on one side of the bamboo surface Drop one end, and then cut a hole in the corresponding place of each bamboo piece, so that each piece of bamboo can be inserted in, the water can flow, and the opening on the top can be watered again.

But after Chu Ying tried several times, there was still a lot of water flowing on the bamboo pieces at the front. Chu Ying sat in front of the wheat field and looked at these bamboos. Standing on a tree branch, pouring water, it will drip drop by drop on the bamboo slices lined up below, and this piece of bamboo chuying only has the middle open, and the bamboo joints on both sides are still there, so it can store water for one bamboo joint.

Chu Ying walked a certain distance before setting up such a bamboo piece. After the whole bamboo piece was set up, the size of the water flow was determined by the size of the hole made. Chu Ying first took a piece of land for experimentation, so even if it failed In order to start over, Chu Ying made such a device on a few pieces of ground.

Chu Ying thought that it would be faster to sprinkle water directly, but the area of ​​the wheat field is still very large, and she only has one well water, so it would be a waste of water to sprinkle water. The water is relatively slow and even, and you only need to water at one end to water a piece of land, which saves time.

But it is really time-consuming to make, and it can be regarded as bitter before sweet. It will save time when all the wheat fields are equipped with bamboo drip irrigation systems.Since it was time-consuming to remove the bamboo joints, Chu Ying took a thinner bamboo and pierced the middle bamboo joints of other bamboos. Since the bamboos are not big, it is very labor-saving to poke, and then made an opening at one end for convenience. Drop the water in.

The bamboo laid on the ground is set as the first-level system, and the thicker bamboo on the branches is the second-level system. The bamboo Chuying of the second-level system is not cut in half, and the middle bamboo joints are cut in the same way. Drop, and then make an opening at one end, which also reduces the transpiration of water.

Chu Ying lays the bamboo drip irrigation system in the morning and evening, and digs holes and makes earth bricks at noon. The earth bricks need to be dried by the sun to make them firm. Chu Ying made the earth bricks on the open space and then Take the shelf and let it dry in the sun, and then pick it up and pile it in the shed when it is 8 minutes dry.

Although it was spring, the sun was still very hot, so Chu Ying put some thin bamboo pieces into a pond with some water, tied them with a rope, and tied the other end to a log on the ground, so that it was convenient to pull it up; When the film softened, Chu Ying slowly made a round hat with a hollow in the middle, which is convenient for putting the head on, and can also reduce the amount of production and the weight of the hat.

When it was ready, Chu Ying covered her head with a face towel and put on a bamboo hat.In this way, the head will not be too hot in the sun, and the hanging towel can also wipe the face, which is learned from the women who work in the fields.

Hard-working farmers will have a bountiful harvest as encouragement. It has been almost a month since Chu Ying built the bamboo drip irrigation system, and the pond has half the water due to several rains.More than half of the adobe bricks have been made, and the adobe bricks are enough.

Taking advantage of the good weather, I asked Aunt Wang where Uncle Qi's house was. After making an appointment with Uncle Qi, Chu Ying went to the foot of the mountain to see if there were any suitable trees. You don't need thick trunks to build eaves, but too thin is useless. After Chu Ying picked it up, she picked up the ax and prepared to chop, with a bald and strong look.

But before Chu Ying cut it down, she saw a woman turning her head and running away as if she saw a ghost. Chu Ying didn't understand why for a while, but when a group of people ran up to curse, Chu Ying realized that things were not that simple.

"This is the man who cut down trees. Look quickly." Surrounded by so many people, Chu Ying threw away the ax in her hand in a panic.

"You are too courageous, kid. Didn't your parents teach you? Can this tree be cut down? Are you responsible for alarming the mountain god?" Chu Ying was a little dizzy after being scolded so harshly by an old grandfather.

"Can't this tree be cut down?" I just cut down a tree, did I do something terrible?These people are making too much of a fuss.

"This is the Chu family who moved in last year. Didn't you let Wang Naiyuan plant trees before? Why don't you know that this tree can't be cut down?"

"I don't know." Chu Ying really didn't know. If she knew that she would be surrounded and condemned for cutting down a tree, she would definitely not come and would only cut down her own tree.

"She doesn't know about this child. It's good to know now. She's young, so don't make things difficult for everyone."

"How did this happen? I don't know. I can chop it up too? Isn't this breaking the rules?" Chu Ying looked at them talking to each other, and it seemed that the situation was a little serious.

"Please Lizheng, let's go for a walk, go to the ancestral hall, and let Lizheng come and judge." Chu Ying was carried away by several women before she recovered from the insults from everyone swarming up.

Chu Ying was a little overwhelmed, did she cut down a tree to soak the pig cage?I have managed to live the life I am now, do I want to die because of a tree?

"Mother, why isn't Chu Ying at home?" Before Wang Naiyuan came home, he went to Chu Ying's place to see if this little girl had tanned in the past few days.

"I went to girl Ying before entering the house, don't you want your mother?" Seeing that Wang Naiyuan was jealous, his mother hurriedly took the small millstone from Aunt Wang's hand to help touch the beans.

"No way, isn't Chu Ying the only one who is pitiful? Where did she go?"

"I said I wanted to grow the eaves to keep out the rain, so I asked where Uncle Qi's house is. But when I came back, I went out with an axe. I guess I went to chop wood."

"Well, she has made quite a lot of those earthen bricks. It's time to build a house. However, I still need some wood. Mom, where did Chu Ying go?"

"Going to the other side of the mountain, what's the matter?" Although Wang Naiyuan wasn't sure if Chu Ying had gone to chop down trees, to be on the safe side, he had to go to Chu Ying to tell her the rule that she couldn't cut down trees, otherwise he was afraid of being caught. People saw it and stabbed it to Lizheng.

But Wang Naiyuan went to the foot of the mountain to search for a long time but couldn’t find Chu Ying. He heard that someone felled a tree and was carried to the ancestral hall. Looking at Chu Ying’s stone axe on the ground, Wang Naiyuan knew that this matter must have something to do with Chu Ying. It's not easy to use, only Chu Ying uses it to save money, the villagers would never think of using a stone axe.

Before Wang Naiyuan entered the ancestral hall, he saw people surrounded by people, all talking about a child cutting down a tree and disturbing the mountain god. Wang Naiyuan finally squeezed in and saw Chu Ying who was kneeling on the ground. He had only walked for a month. This child brought himself to the ancestral hall, which is really not worrying.
