The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 121 Who should give the credit (2)
It was only fitting that he should be asked to help with this.

On the same day, Su Ling prepared a sumptuous banquet, and Shopkeeper Qian invited Mr. Chen over.After drinking and eating, Father Su took out the drawings designed by Su Ling.

Master Chen looked at the blueprint, and his eyes lit up immediately.

This was a look of joy in seeing Liexin, and Su Ling immediately knew that this matter was almost done.

After Su's father explained the blueprint again in detail, Mr. Chen's gesture of holding the blueprint became as if he was holding a priceless treasure in his hand.

"I have to bother Mr. Chen a lot about this matter. There is no one else who can do this in Qingshi Town except you, Mr. Chen." Father Su said with a smile. It has been pushed to an extremely high position. Although it is a bit suspected of flattering, it is indeed very useful for Mr. Chen.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Su Ling and Su He brought out the tray, on the tray were five packets of silver, a total of 100 taels.

"Master Chen, this 100 taels of silver is for Mr. Chen to find craftsmen and materials. Mr. Chen will take it first. If it is not enough, we will add more at any time. When the things are finished, we will thank Mr. Chen again." Su Ling said with a smile.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Master Chen also smiled, "When this thing is really done, maybe I will thank you, I don't know."

Master Chen took away the blueprints, and immediately summoned craftsmen to start the work. During the period, he came to ask Su Ling some detailed questions, and Su Ling answered them one by one. Adults should think about it carefully.

Su Ling watched Mr. Chen busy with the flushing toilet, obviously, he cared more about the flushing toilet than Su Ling expected, beyond the kind of care entrusted by others.

Su Ling thinks this is also good, as long as she can use the flush toilet, everything is negotiable.

After more than half a month, the flush toilet that Su Ling was looking forward to was finally fired.

And the large ceramic pipe that Su Ling found another person to fire in Qingshi Town has already been fired, but now there is a heart problem again.

The ceramic pipes are piece by piece, how to connect them has become the main problem.

If it is modern, there can be various interfaces to make them fit together tightly, but the current pipes are made of ceramics, even if the interfaces are made, there is no guarantee that they can fit tightly.

At this moment, Su Ling is still worried about this problem, but Mr. Chen has already summoned people to come to install the flush toilet.

In the newly built courtyard of Su Ling's house, no one lives in a wing. Of course, there is not only one room in a wing, but a hall similar to the current one. There are still several rooms in it, study room, embroidery room, and housing. of.The flush toilet is the usual wash room, and it was first installed in Su Ling's West Wing Room.

One side of the bathroom in the west wing.It is a fire wall, and behind the fire wall is the large kitchen built in the front west courtyard.In winter, there is a fire in the large kitchen, and the heat conduction through the fire wall can heat the bathroom.In addition, there is a large water tank, which is placed in the large kitchen.Two delivery pipes are installed on this water tank again.Two water pipes pass through the firewall, one supplies water to the flush tank of the toilet, and the other supplies water to the bathtub.

The bathroom is divided into two compartments.A wooden tub is placed in one of them as a bathroom, and a flush toilet is placed in the other compartment.

The sewer pipes use thick ceramic pipes and are buried underground.In order to keep warm from the cold, the pipes are wrapped with thick cotton wool and grass bedding, and buried in the ground to a depth of more than one meter.

The water outlet of the downpipe is set outside the west wall.In winter, because of the freezing, people have to be arranged to clean up every day.Father Su had already negotiated with the old man who was in charge of pouring Yexiang, and he was paid extra.Make him responsible for cleaning twice a day, morning and night.In spring, summer and autumn, the sewage can be collected into the cesspit through special culverts.

The main house where Su's father and Su's mother live is also of the same design, and even Su Dong's east wing is of the same design...

Master Chen pulled all the parts of the toilet and watched the craftsmen install them.

Su Ling watched them splice the pipes.Just to see how they fit the two pipes together.

Two sections of pipes, including flush toilets and flush water tanks, are parts that are not integrated. Although the dimensions are accurate, they can be socketed, but what about the seal?
Master Chen saw that Su Ling was curious, so he said to her: "That is the most famous baker in Qingshi Town." Master Chen pointed to an old man with gray hair and said, "No matter what, there is no such thing as him. If it cannot be baked together, it is guaranteed to fit tightly without leaking in the slightest wind."

Broken pots, bowls, pans, spoons, etc. used by farmers are reluctant to throw away.Then, the pots, pans, pans, and spoons were broken and leaked, so they couldn’t be used anymore, what should I do?There are craftsmen walking around the streets, yelling about baking pots, bowls, and big vats, who can clean up these broken things.Whether it is made of copper, iron, porcelain, or tile, a large water tank as big as two people hugging each other, or a small wine cup so small that a baby under one year old can hold it, the artisans of this baking tank can mend it. .

There are often whitish scars of different sizes depending on the size of the damage.

Watching the old craftsman light the fire and melt a pot of tin water, Su Ling suddenly realized.To put it simply, this is clearly soldering.

With this kind of technology, the sealing of the connection is of course not a problem.Although the connection is rigid and there is no elasticity, it is enough in this era.

After the toilet was fully installed and the water tank was full of water, Su Ling walked over, threw a shovel of dirt into the toilet, and then pulled down the drawstring.The water flowed down from the downpipe and swirled in the white porcelain toilet, and there was a particularly loud flushing sound, and the toilet had become clean.Soon, the guards outside the western wall shouted, "Water is coming out."

It worked!
Su Ling was a little excited.

Master Chen, Su's father, Su's mother and others standing beside him were no less happy than Su Ling.

In order to celebrate the successful installation of the flush toilet and to thank Master Chen, Su Ling's family prepared another banquet.Mr. Chen drank a lot, after the meal, before Su's father could bring out the thank you gift for Mr. Jiang, Mr. Chen returned the few coins from Su Ling's family.

He wanted to dedicate this toilet to Shangguan.

Su Ling anticipated this possibility, and had already discussed with his family members what to say.

"This flush toilet can be made, thanks to your lord. We have nothing to say." Su's father said: "It's just that this flush toilet was conceived by our Dong'er, and Ling'er perfected it. We have to ask Dong'er about it." mean."
