Chapter 45 Flood
Lao Liu is indeed a professional. He just listened to Yun Yiyi's description and made several boxes. Each box was as big as a palm and made of wood. There was still room for more than two hundred matchsticks inside. .

This box is exquisitely made and can be reused, which is much easier to use than the soft matchboxes of later generations.

The match strips were also cut well, and the roots were regular. Although they were big and small, they were almost the same overall, and the length was also the same.

Yun Yiyi coated the side of the box with red phosphorus to make match skins, and coated each match with match heads.

Since getting matches, Yun Yiyi's cooking efficiency has improved significantly. It used to take several minutes just to make a fire, and sometimes it took half a day to make a fire, but now she doesn't have this worry.

The hen laid too many eggs, so Yun Yiyi went to the village head's house to borrow an ox cart after a week.

With experience, she sold a whole thousand eggs to the restaurant this time.The eggs last time were good and delicious, and all the guests who came here thought they were good.The restaurant simply didn't order other eggs for the time being, and only cooperated with Yun Yiyi at present, and raised her up to five yuan a piece.

Yun Yiyi made five taels of silver this time.

In fact, she also wants to own a car alone, so that it is convenient for her to go to various places.But this was not so easy in ancient times.For example, the village head's ox cart is expensive, and the price of just one ox is five taels of silver.

The price is one aspect. The important thing is that it is not easy to buy a healthy and long-lived cart ox in this era. The village chief’s cattle are raised by himself, and he has been training since he was a child, so he listens to the village chief’s words.

Regarding money, Yun Yiyi is not worried.She still has some money with her, and she can make money now. Although she doesn't think she earns much, it doesn't prevent her from spending money like water.

In Yun Yiyi's view, money depreciates, if you don't spend it now, when will you wait.

Now she has matches, eggs and no shortage of water, and she visits her vegetable garden from time to time to live a long life.

When Yun Yiyi is bored, she likes to cook at home, and she has researched some new dishes, which makes Yan Dashuang so happy that she doesn't even want to go out to play.

This day gradually became less hot, Yun Yiyi put the sun hat in the closet, and did not make any ice cubes.

As a result, one afternoon when the clouds rolled in, the sky suddenly became dark, and then the big raindrops fell. The chickens in the yard were clucking and screaming in fright, and they all crowded together in a swarm.

The rain became heavier and heavier, just like beads with a broken thread falling straight down. There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and then a long dragon of lightning flashed across. The heavy rain slanted down from the sky overwhelmingly, with irresistible force.

"It's raining, go home and collect your clothes."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, this is the people who are still working outside.

For them, this kind of heavy rain portends disasters. Crops are easily drowned, fences are easily washed away, floods are easy to occur, and soil subsidence occurs. Therefore, as long as there is heavy rain, everyone hides in the house and does not go out. .

One layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness.

Yun Yiyi was very happy, she predicted that the heat had finally passed, she had always been afraid of heat, and now she finally didn't have to face the scorching sun.

But the other villagers began to worry again, it was another winter of sitting and eating, and they didn't know if they had enough supplies.

Yun Yiyi moved a stool and sat in the lobby watching the rain. The two cubs were curious and sat beside her.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Yan Dashuang asked.

Yun Yiyi said, "Look at the hen."

The chicken shed was also made solidly, and the rain was splashing down, making a loud noise, but the shed was not affected at all.

At first the hens were frightened. After a while, they also found that the rain was not a threat at all, so they scattered around again and started clucking.

The equipment that protected the hens from heat at the beginning also has the effect of protecting the hens from rain and wind.

It was actually early in the day, around six o'clock in the afternoon at most, but the sky was getting dark.

The hens could no longer see the light, and they became quiet.

"Let's all go into the house." Yun Yiyi said.

The two cubs obediently moved the stool to its original place, Yun Yiyi locked the gate, and the day ended like this.

The rain stopped on the second day, and the weather was much cooler. She still washed the rice and cooked porridge. She cooked a large pot of porridge with mushrooms and lean meat, and spread out a pot of scallion egg pancakes.

The big trees on the ground of the house were washed away by the rain, and the fragrance of mud and grass wafted in the air.

The ground of Yun Yiyi's yard is flat, and there is a sloping ditch on the right side, and the rainwater flows down, so there is no water accumulation.

She liked the weather, so she moved the table into the yard, and the three of them had breakfast together.

She had piled up some clothes in the past few days, so she filled a basin full of water, soaked the clothes in the basin, and planned to wash them later.

When Zhou Cheng came to deliver the firewood, she and Zaizai were still eating. Seeing that he was carrying more firewood than usual, she greeted him, "Do you want to eat with us?"

"No, Auntie, I may come later to deliver the firewood later, but this time I will pack a little more." Zhou Cheng said honestly.

The weather is starting to change a lot. If it snows in the future, no one will go into the mountains to cut firewood.The rain had just stopped, and it would definitely not rain again immediately. He couldn't wait to go into the mountain to cut firewood today. He not only saved a lot of firewood for his own family, but also helped other families to cut it.

Yun Yiyi nodded, not knowing if she understood what he meant, so she agreed, "Okay."

Zhou Cheng saw the basin beside him, and was taken aback: "Auntie, what is this?"

The water basin was very large and high, and it was full of clear water, only soaking a few clothes.

"The laundry place is too far away. I find it troublesome, so I fetch water to wash my clothes at home." Yun Yiyi explained.

Zhou Cheng asked strangely: "Water in the water tank that my aunt uses?"

I don't understand why the other party's reaction is so strong. Even though the water from the clear spring is for people to drink, it's not that it can't be used to wash clothes.

"What's wrong?" After Yun Yiyi asked, she took a sip of porridge.

Zhou Cheng smiled wryly. In the past, he had heard others talk about Yun Yiyi's absurdity, but when he looked at her through a filter, he always felt that what she did was always justified.But now Zhou Cheng also thinks that she is too naive, every household has no water to drink, and she actually wastes water to wash clothes.

"Auntie, don't you know? There was a heavy rain last night, and now the rivers and lakes are full of water. The water is so muddy that you can't even wash clothes, let alone drink?" Zhou Cheng had to give this unknown The suffering home girl explained in detail.

"When I went to deliver firewood today, I encountered several households that were short of water. Normally, everyone would store up the water, but this time the heavy rain came so fast and urgently that many people were caught off guard." Zhou Cheng sighed.

"It's okay, the flood will recede in a few days." Yun Yiyi said.

"That's true. It's just that it's hard to get through these few days. Auntie, you'd better save some money." Zhou Cheng advised.

Yun Yiyi responded casually, and didn't take his words to heart.

Zhou Cheng glanced at the big fat chickens that were frisky in the chicken shed, and his eyebrows relaxed again. If he had a hundred big hens in his house, he would be fine.

Yun Yiyi wrapped five omelets and handed them to him, "Take these back and eat them."

Zhou Cheng couldn't refuse, took the cake and left.

After he left, Yun Yiyi washed the clothes in twos and dried them in the yard.

Zhou Cheng's words made her a little concerned. The village was flooded, but she didn't feel it at all.She also turned on the tap this morning and used the water, which was crystal clear.

Yun Yiyi walked to the water pipe, pulled the water pipe out of the filter, and at that moment, muddy water flowed down.

It seems that this is what the original water looks like.

After the turbid water passes through the filter, the impurities and dust are filtered and become clean and clear again.

Only then did Yun Yiyi breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had successfully made the activated carbon used to filter water.She felt a little proud that she could still produce such pure activated carbon under such crude conditions.

This is also due to the fact that the water in ancient times was not too dirty. At least there will be no industrial waste or complicated chemicals in the water. It is mostly rough soil and yellow sand. Such impurities are not difficult to get rid of.

As soon as she was happy, she prepared to cook another hearty meal at noon.But she didn't say it now, otherwise Yan Dashuang would be so happy that she couldn't play in peace all morning.

The torrential rain did not damage the chicken coop, but Yun Yiyi was still worried after all.She took the linoleum and straw she bought before and put them on the roof of the shed, and pressed them firmly with masonry to prevent water and heat preservation.

To prevent the hens from freezing, she spread a lot of dry straw, chaff, sawdust, etc. in the chicken coop.

Because of the heavy rain yesterday, Yun Yiyi went down to look at her vegetables. After looking at them, she found that small sprouts had sprouted in some places. Now that the weather is getting colder, she can still grow them for a while. If it gets colder, She's about to put up the shed.

This side is very happy, but the other families are moaning.

With so many households in the village, it is true that several households do not store water, but they are very few. After all, everyone does not know when there will be water shortage, and they will prepare well in advance.

However, Yan Ersao is one of them.

Due to the torrential rain, the road was damaged, and Brother Yan did not go to work in the county.

As a result, when I got up in the morning, there was not a drop of water left in the tank.

What do you eat without water?

Second Brother Yan was unhappy on the spot, "Look at someone like this, you lazy woman who doesn't even pick up water?"

Second Sister Yan was not happy anymore, "Usually you are the one who fetches water, what are you blaming me for?"

It seems to be the same thing, Second Sister-in-law Yan seldom cooks, she cooks casually and eats casually, she is not picky, and Second Brother Yan is not picky either.If you are hungry, eat something good in the county.

The place where Second Brother Yan works usually provides meals, and the food is not bad. Second Sister Yan often goes to the county town to find him for food and drinks.As for when there was no water in the tank, no one can remember.

Brother Yan sighed, "Looks like there's no water these days, let's go find Mother."

Second Sister-in-law Yan nodded, and followed him to find Mother Yan, aggrieved.
