Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 20 Water Pipes
There are many things in Yun Yiyi's game equipment, but it is impossible to complete them. Although there is no shortage of food, after she has enough food and clothing, she starts to think about her living standards.

This era is undoubtedly backward. There is no electricity or water. She lived for a few days and gradually got used to it, but now there are new problems bothering her.

water.

How can we bring water to our own home? All we need is a faucet.

But it is too difficult to implement.

Yan Dashuang didn't know what her mother was thinking, so he climbed onto her lap and squeezed his whole body into Yun Yiyi's arms.

"Mother, what are you thinking, play with me." He rubbed Yun Yiyi with his puffed cheeks.

Yun Yiyi poked him with a smile, poking a dimple on his cheek, "Are you full?"

The oatmeal porridge served with cold dried tofu for breakfast, as well as a pile of purple sweet potato cakes and red bean cakes were all things they had never eaten before, so they ate more, and now they are a little full.

Yun Yiyi cooks in different ways every day, and now they are spoiled for taste, they only think that she is a master chef, and the food is the most delicious in the world.

In fact, many foods were taken out of Yun Yiyi's backpack because she was curious.The things I took out couldn't be put back into the backpack, so I had to cook and eat them all.She is also a person who likes food, so she will spend a little time on eating.The two cubs ate the same food every day, so they gained weight.

Yun Yiyi found that Yan Xiaoshuang ate a lot, but he was not picky and would eat everything.On the contrary, it is Yan Dashuang who likes to eat meat and delicate snacks, especially sweets.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yun Yiyi smelled a sweet aroma of milk.

Yun Yiyi frowned, "Did you steal toffee again?"

She likes to eat white rabbit toffee, so she took out dozens of them from her backpack, sealed them in jars, and would eat one when she got hungry.

Ever since the candy was given to the two cubs, Yan Dashuang would steal the candy, and he only stole one at a time, but Yun Yiyi had counted the number before, and naturally knew that it was less, so she opened her eyes and closed her eyes, Recently, Yan Dashuang has become more and more rampant.

As soon as Yan Dashuang's expression was tense, he immediately showed the expression of fear of being caught. At such a young age, he has no ability to hide his emotions, but he denied it with his mouth, "I don't."

Anyway, it's fine if you don't admit it, Yan Dashuang thought to himself.

Yun Yiyi said: "Did you know? If you eat too much of that kind of sugar, you will get tooth decay. Do you know what tooth decay is? It's tooth decay. A worm will grow in your tooth, and it will slowly eat away your tooth. In the end, your tooth will be broken. It's gone."

Yan Dashuang's small body was stiff and her eyes were round.

"By that time, you won't be able to eat meat anymore, and you won't even be able to chew pastries. It's so pitiful."

Yan Dashuang hugged her arm, "Mother."

Yun Yiyi stroked his soft hair, "So, have you eaten?"

He nodded tearfully.

Yun Yiyi pointed to his face, "Does the tooth hurt now?"

Yan Dashuang panicked: "It hurts, what should I do?"

Yan Xiaoshuang, who was standing on the ground, frowned and touched his cheek, thoughtfully.

Pain is of course just a psychological effect.

But this is also a good opportunity for education, so that they can brush their teeth well and take care of their teeth.In this era, there is no such profession as a dentist. If you have dental caries, you can only endure it.

Yun Yiyi said: "You guys have to brush your teeth well, brush carefully, and you'll be fine after brushing clean."

Yan Dashuang immediately jumped down, rushed to the kitchen, took a toothbrush, and began to brush his teeth.

The toothbrushes here are also called "wooden teeth". They are all made of willow, because willow contains a lot of fibers. When brushing your teeth, just bite the willow open. The tiny fibers of willow will emerge and form a sawtooth-like shape. Can be used to brush teeth.

Yun Yiyi had to admire the wisdom of the ancients, but for her, it was still too crude.

She can also improve a small object like a toothbrush, so she put a layer of horsetail hair on a willow branch, and then dipped it in toothpaste to clean her teeth.

She brought the toothpaste with her own. I don't know what brand it is. It smells like mint. There is only such a box of toothpaste in her backpack. It is probably a useless thing she won in consecutive lottery draws.Now it is a treasured item.

But things need to be used, Yun Yiyi is willing, a box of toothpaste can still be used for a while, and when it is used up, she will find a way.Although there is no toothpaste in this era, it is not difficult to make toothpaste.

She can't wait to solve the water problem now.

In the afternoon, while the two cubs were sleeping, Yun Yiyi went to the carpenter's house again.

Lao Liu is sawing bamboo, the kind of bamboo that is as big as someone's arm, and each section is as big as the mouth of a bowl. Many people like to use it to hold water for drinking.It can also be used to make rice in bamboo tubes.

This time Yun Yiyi originally came to ask Lao Liu if he would make faucets, but after seeing this bamboo, he suddenly had a brainstorm and had other ideas.

At that time, she had been thinking about what to use as water pipes. There was no plastic in ancient times. It is not impossible to make hollow water pipes with other materials, but it would take time and effort, and she was afraid of failure.But there are ready-made bamboos here, she just needs to find smaller bamboos, hollow out the middle, and introduce water into her home.

If that's the case, then she doesn't need to be a faucet at all, and she can draw water over.

Yun Yiyi showed a smile, Lao Liu gave her a strange look, and said hello, "Daughter-in-law of the Yan family, what's the matter with you?"

Although she didn't quite agree with Yun Yiyi, in Lao Liu's heart, she was also a big customer, and she paid so much in one lump sum last time.

Yun Yiyi shook her head, thought about it carefully, and showed him the blueprint. It was a simple faucet, which was naturally different from later generations, and the principle was much simpler.

After listening to her explanation, Lao Liu felt that the third daughter-in-law had a lot of weird ideas in her head, so he asked, "I'm afraid it can't be made of wood."

When Yun Yiyi heard his question, she knew that he understood, and continued: "That's right, so I plan to make it with brass."

Copper could have been used, or a better material, but the price was high, and she could afford the price, but she couldn't be too high-profile, so she said it was brass, which was cheaper.

Old Liu looked at it and said, "You can give it a try."

Yun Yiyi asked again: "Can you make a wooden box, but use plywood to divide the inside, dig a hole in the upper and lower parts, and make a few wooden pipes."

This thing is actually similar to the filters of later generations, this was Yun Yiyi's whim.Modern water is actually very dirty, a lot of water is polluted, and the water they drink has been cleaned by various chemicals.But the water in this mountain is very clean. Even if it is raw water, some people drink it directly, and it is not harmful to the human body.

Even if the water becomes turbid due to environmental changes, it is also because there is more mud and yellow sand in the water. She only needs to ask Lao Liu to make a filter and put activated carbon in it to make the turbid water extremely clear.Activated carbon can absorb dust and other substances, so the water is healthier.

The process of making activated carbon is very complicated and requires the use of test tubes, but in this era, there is no glass, so Yun Yiyi can only make a similar object out of wood.

Although Lao Liu is a carpenter, he is a craftsman and can make many ingenious things.

These ancient people should not be underestimated. Due to the underdeveloped technology, many people have practiced manual skills, and the objects they made are exquisite and lifelike, which is impressive.

Yun Yiyi was overjoyed, so she paid the money, and Lao Liu didn't charge too much, so she took a deposit of ten copper plates, and when it was finished, it would be calculated together with the price of brass.

She paid the money readily, but Lao Liu was embarrassed, always feeling that she was overcharged last time.

Although Lao Liu understood the principle of this thing, he just smiled, thinking that it was a useless thing, used as a toy for children.

She was delayed for a long time this time. When she returned, the two cubs were guarding the door, looking into the distance. When they saw her coming back, they immediately jumped up and hugged her thighs.

This reminded Yun Yiyi of the husky she raised in the past, every time she opened the door, it would rush over like the wind, wagging its tail constantly.

Yun Yiyi laughed and said: "Okay, I'll find a carpenter while you are sleeping. From now on, you will have water when you sit at home."

Yan Xiaoshuang opened her cat pupils and asked in confusion, "What does mother mean?"

Yan Dashuang looked tired and lazy, and didn't take Yun Yiyi's words seriously at all.

Yun Yiyi said: "From now on, mother won't have to carry water, the water will come directly to the house."

Yan Xiaoshuang blinked his eyes and became excited again. What he thought was that a water-like monster knocked into their house.

So next, every time Yan Xiaoshuang ran outside the door to observe, but unfortunately every time he returned disappointed.

Yun Yiyi didn't know what he was thinking. In the past, she used to wash clothes directly with the water in the tank. Although it was drinking water, it was running water, which was enough for everyone to use. Unfortunately, it was troublesome to carry water, and Yun Yiyi was the only one in the village. would be such a waste.

But she can't be blamed for this, in her mind, this is tap water.

Now that there is no water, Yun Yiyi had no choice but to do as the Romans do, put a few clothes in the basin, and walk in the small river to wash the clothes.

The small river is not far from here, and Yun Yiyi will be there in a few minutes' walk.

It was also a coincidence that she ran into Mrs. Yan who had just returned from washing her clothes.

Sister Yan smiled at her a little embarrassedly.

Yun Yiyi immediately stopped her, "Sister-in-law, is brother in the field now?"

Unexpectedly, the other party would take the initiative to talk to her, Mrs. Yan froze for a moment, then nodded, "I'm here, after I finish washing the clothes, I have to go over and deliver food to him."

Yun Yiyi said casually: "Sister-in-law, can you tell elder brother something, I want to ask him for a favor."

Although her voice was not warm, and she didn't seem to be begging for help, it was the first time she took the initiative to ask her for help.Sister-in-law Yan reacted quickly, thinking of Yun Yiyi's land where she fished for three days and dried nets for two days, she thought she was looking for someone to dig the land, so she nodded: "Okay, tell me."

In the past, Brother Yan also wanted to help her dig the ground, but Yun Yiyi was arrogant and said that she didn't need it, so there was no follow-up. Now if she needs it, they are willing to help.

Yun Yiyi said: "When my brother is free, I want him to chop some bamboo for me."

bamboo?

There are a lot of wild bamboos in this mountain forest, but they are inedible and useless at all. Why does Yun Yiyi want this thing?
Yun Yiyi saw what she was thinking, and said, "Of course I have my own uses, sister-in-law, go back and ask your elder brother, if he is willing to cut a few for me, as a thank you, I am willing to exchange another jar of salt and sugar .”

Sister-in-law Yan was taken aback, she wanted to say no, but Yun Yiyi said again: "If you agree, sister-in-law, you can come too."

After finishing speaking, she carried the basin and walked away slowly.

Sister-in-law Yan stood there for a while before she figured out what she meant. Was she asked to come with her to avoid suspicion?
