Chapter 38 Digging a Well
Qingniang's eyes were like sharp daggers, she wished she could chop her hands off.Somewhere in her true heart, she still misses her previous life, so no matter what kind of patterns and changes she thinks about, the things she draws are inseparable from modern things in all likelihood!

"He Xianggong," Qingniang was afraid that Heliancheng would become suspicious, although she had subverted the real Mu Qingniang's image in the hearts of the villagers many times, she smacked her lips twice, and said with a sneer, "Why don't you walk without making a sound? Scary, scary to death!"

"I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm not afraid of ghosts calling at the door in the middle of the night!"

".."

He Liancheng blocked Qing Niang's words with just such a fluffy sentence, and for a while, she couldn't find any reason or excuse, so she could only laugh dryly.He Liancheng stared at her things for a while, as if he was a little interested, but quickly covered up the light!
Qing Niang didn't care about He Liancheng's reaction afterwards, after she finished drawing the blueprint, she went to find Yuniang and asked where the best carpenter for making furniture was.Her heart was very eager, and she wished to see the real thing right away, but because she didn't know the way, Liu Dahai had to leave the work in her hand and take her to find the master carpenter!

In Xiaoju Village, ten miles away from Xiaohe Village, there is a carpenter whose craftsmanship is well-known throughout Yong'an Town.Master Liu's ancestors have been carpenters for nine generations, with dexterous hands, and the woodwork is quite exquisite.He charges a fair price and has a good reputation. There is an endless stream of people who are famous for asking him to make things. Maybe you won’t see anyone after you go there!

Liu Dahai walked with Qingniang, telling her about Master Liu.Qing Niang secretly sighed, the masters are indeed among the people, whether you can meet them or not, you have to try your luck!

I don't know if it's because of the good weather, when Qingniang and Liu Dahai entered Xiaoju Village, they happened to meet Master Liu returning from his trip.Liu Dahai was lucky enough to meet him twice, and recognized him immediately, and Qingniang was overjoyed.

After Liu Dahai and Master Liu quickly explained their intentions, they asked Qing Niang to hand over the designed drawings to Master Liu.Seeing the exquisite design, simple but elegant furniture, the master was amazed again and again, and happily took over the job.Qingniang was very happy, thanked Master Liu, paid the deposit, and walked back with Liu Dahai!

"Brother, you are really a lucky star. I didn't expect to meet Master Liu at the entrance of the village. It seems that when we move to a new house, the new furniture can also be moved in together!"

"Where am I a lucky star, my husband and wife are both blessed with the blessing of Qingniang, otherwise, we are still living a life of hunger and fullness!"

"Neighbors and folks, help each other. When our family is in trouble, you don't hesitate to help!"

"hey-hey.."

Liu Dahai smiled embarrassingly, raised his hand and scratched his head foolishly!

In order to thank Liu Dahai, Qing Niang personally cooked a few Sichuan dishes that were very famous but also very common.Braised pork, twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, ants on a tree, and vermicelli watercress soup.Four adults and one child, four dishes and one soup, eat with relish.

After eating, Yu Niang helped Qing Niang clean up, but there was no water in the water tank.Qing Niang secretly sighed, and helplessly carried a bucket to the river to fetch water.But the river water seems to be clear, but there are many dirty things in the water, she has to find a way to solve this problem quickly!

The next day, Qingniang got up early and walked around the village. After making sure that no one in the village had dug a well, she returned home and slammed the table. She wanted to dig a well in the yard of her new home. .This well water is much cleaner and more hygienic than river water, and it has more minerals, so it is harmless to the body!
Digging a well is very easy. You only need to find a few villagers to dig down with hammers and drills until the soil layer is dug through, and the rock layer is dug, and then continue to dig more than a foot deep.The water on the surface penetrates into the rock layer, and after being filtered layer by layer, the edge of the wellhead is stabilized, and the wellhead is built high with blue bricks and lime, and a rotating wooden rotating column is added to the wellhead, and a bucket is hung with a rope to draw water.

This is just a preliminary plan. If a simple device for pressurizing water can be successfully developed, such as a valve in the 80s to pressurize well water, it will be more convenient!

"Qing Niang, the well water is indeed better than the river water, but the cost is too high. The villagers don't have the spare money to hire someone to dig the well. However, you can try to dig the well in the yard of your new home. More than a foot is the hardest layer!"

After listening to Qing Niang's thoughts, Yu Niang is very good. Although she is very yearning, she is not very motivated.Although it is healthy for the body, not all villagers are willing to spend time, effort and money digging wells!
Qing Niang nodded slowly, "Sister-in-law, anyway, digging one well is also digging two wells. I will invite someone back, and each of our two families will dig a well. When the time comes, I will ask elder brother to go to the woods to cut some water bamboos and come back. I have a surprise for you!"

"surprise?"

Yu Niang was startled, but Qing Niang smiled triumphantly and mysteriously.Now tell Yuniang the principle of running water, she may not understand.It’s better to build a pool next to the kitchen after the well is dug, and then let Liu Dahai go to the woods to cut bamboo and come back. Unscrew the plug when it’s not in use, and plug it back in when it’s not in use. This kind of tap water-like device must make Yu Niang very happy.

This is definitely a surprise!
After He Liancheng listened to Qingniang's suggestion, he still did not object, and went to the patriarch himself, asking him to find some people to dig a well for his family, and the wages were three renminbi higher than the market price.Of course the patriarch was very happy, he withheld the extra three Wen, five people, fifteen Wen per day, which is also a good income!
The news of Qingniang’s new house digging a well spread quickly in the village, and everyone took advantage of the cool time after dinner to watch the excitement, and they leveled the yard of Qingniang’s new house in a few nights, saving the need to hire someone to clean it up .It's good now, you can directly use lime and plaster to repair the yard!
Except for Liu Laoer's family, everyone in the village watched the excitement.At home, Mrs. Hu hated her teeth itchingly, but there was still written evidence of He Liancheng's severance with his Liu family in the cabinet, so she couldn't sleep or eat.

Seeing Hu's frown, Mrs. Guo didn't raise her eyebrows, and she suffered from the dumbness of He Liancheng and his wife before, causing her legs to be broken, so she had to find a bad luck for He Liancheng.After rolling his cunning eyeballs, he leaned in front of Mrs. Hu and whispered: "Mother, even though that ungrateful thing in Heliancheng has signed a contract with you and father, he still has auntie in his body. My aunt and my father are brothers and sisters, and blood is thicker than water, so how could it be that a word is said to be broken when it is broken?"

Hu suddenly realized, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said loudly: "You're more careful, don't tell me I forgot, let's go, go to that bitch's house to have a look!"
