Chapter 299: Become bigger, stronger and create brilliance
When Shui Qing was in China, it was the most normal thing for him to be called by his first name.
Only after arriving here did I realize that it is extremely difficult for a married woman to have her own name - it can also be done if her natal family is powerful, such as a princess, or a powerful daughter who is marrying into a wealthy family.
But how many can there be in one dynasty? Most are just ordinary farm wives.
When she heard Qin Yilin's words, she actually heard a hint of envy in them, but she could understand them.
"In the future, all female dolls in our village will have their own names." A name that should be taken seriously.
Qin Yilin was stunned and felt that his position was too small!
She still cares about her own name, but Shui Qing has already thought about the whole village!
Not just herself, but hundreds of people in the entire village, and she had no doubt that Shui Qing could do it. She just felt that she would definitely be able to do it, and even do it very well.
"Okay, let's work together."
·
Fan Jin and his people have initially determined the route from the spring to the medicinal shop.
Li Wu walked up the mountain, looked at the foot of the mountain and said, "Let's clear away the weeds, trees and rocks along the road first, and then dig a ditch. Then lay bamboo tubes in the ditch to divert water. It will probably be dug in seven or eight days."
If a ditch is not dug, the wind or small animals may shake the bamboo tube away from its original position, and the water will not be diverted.
The water is cut off, and the medicinal materials cannot be washed. Water is needed for steaming and brewing later. If there is no water, we have to carry buckets back from far away. We have to do less and more work that day, which wastes more time and energy.
The ditch does not need to be wide or deep, as long as it can accommodate bamboo tubes. There are several of them, and one person is responsible for a section of the road. Seven or eight days is more than enough.
After seven or eight days, the medicinal materials shop will probably be completed.
"Weeds are easy to clear, just cut down the miscellaneous trees. But digging the roots is a bit troublesome, but it shouldn't be difficult for several of us to dig together. We are just afraid of stones. Small stones are okay, but we are afraid of big rocks." Feng Da Looking towards the foot of the mountain, I felt a little worried.
Previously on the farm, the original owner also thought about digging a separate ditch from the Mayak Lake Reservoir to divert water to irrigate the crops, so that there would be no need to compete with other farmers for water.
There are many people in Zhuangzi and there are many men. They use the slack time to dig ditches. Even if they can't dig ditches in one year, they can still dig ditches in two, three or four years. The boss has plenty of time to wait.
So under the leadership of Zhuang Bantou, they began to dig ditches. The front was fine, and they kept digging. They kept digging intermittently for a year or two. They were almost at the foot of the mountain. They were very excited.
I thought I would never have to grab water again.
As a result, they came across a big rock, and they began to think that they could just go around it. As they dug, they found that it was a huge boulder of unknown length, lying in the ground, and they couldn't dig it up or get around it.
Guogou had no choice but to give up. The results of one or two years of hard work were gone. The people in Zhuangzi were extremely depressed, mainly because their hope was gone.
Feng Dahong and Daniel also remembered this incident and lowered their heads in frustration.
There are many rocks on the mountain. Although the owner's mountain is short, it is still a mountain. As they walked along, they found that there were many large and small rocks.
The stones on the surface can be seen and touched without fear. They can be moved and transported back down the mountain to lay the foundation for the house. The scary thing is that they are buried underground.
"Dad, maybe not. Wouldn't it be a waste of worry?" Hong Mancang whispered.
"Let's think on the bright side, and the ditch we dug is shallow, so we won't be so unlucky, right?" Hong Manku also lowered his voice to persuade.
He didn't believe that the people from Zhuangzi were so unlucky!
Digging one trench will lead to huge rocks, and digging two trenches will lead to huge rocks!
Feng Dafeng's second thought was that if he encountered a stone, he would just avoid it. After all, he couldn't avoid it.
The mountain at Dong's house is neither high nor big. It can't be compared with the mountains on both sides of the Lake. Naturally, the rocks on the mountain can't be compared with the rocks in the Lake!
The men who came out of Zhuangzi prepared themselves mentally. They tightened their hands on the shovels and hoes, and their eyes showed high fighting spirit.
In contrast, Xu Laosan was much more relaxed and joked: "It's okay, I really encountered a big rock, and I just moved it back to use as the foundation of the house.
Otherwise, put it at the head of the village and use it as a treasure of the town. It just so happens that our village doesn’t have it yet. "
Li Wu didn't allow the third child to be careless, but he didn't take it seriously. As for rocks, you just dig them out when you encounter them. If they are buried too deep to dig out, then take a detour.
There are always more solutions than difficulties.
After the first day, less than half of the bricks and tiles were delivered, twice a day. I guess another two or three days will be enough.
The more than ten rooms in the medicinal shop consume the most bricks and tiles. In particular, the floors must be paved with coarse bricks, which are clean and easy to clean. If the dirt floor is firmly trampled on, it is fine on weekdays, but the difference is particularly obvious on rainy days!
When you step on the mud, you will pick up a piece of mud when you walk away. Shanshui Village has abundant rainfall, so why not take precautions in advance?
There are only three main rooms in the study, plus a kitchen and a woodshed. The bricks and tiles hauled out in one day are enough.
There are more than a dozen people laying the foundation. Today, the drainage ditch has been initially dug. Tomorrow, half of the people will go up the mountain to transport rocks and half will dig the foundation. The day after tomorrow, the two groups of people will be swapped, and no one will talk about the other.
Filling the foundation with stones is strong and economical. It can also clear the stones on the mountain bit by bit, so the foundations of the houses of the villagers are all stones found from their respective mountains.
I am willing to be tired.
The workers in the medicine shop left work in high spirits. They had worked hard for four hours, but they felt that time flew by quickly.
The work was done in a hurry.
What is particularly amazing is that in the past, they would have been starving after working on the farm, but today, they did not feel hungry at all. Could it be that they had enough money?
No, not entirely. Washing and brushing are different from farm work. After all, it is not physical work and does not consume too much energy, so they do not feel too hungry.
Zhao Lan thought that the herbal medicine shop is really suitable for women.
She looked at the sisters around her and suggested: "Let's grow herbs too. Although there is not enough land, it can be reclaimed. Won't the men at home rest after planting winter wheat? It's just right to reclaim land and grow herbs!"
"I heard from Sister Shuiqing that Polygonum multiflorum can be planted in spring and autumn. We plant it this autumn and can harvest it next autumn. With more herbs, won't our herbal medicine shop be more prosperous?" Xu Ting came forward to share the news.
Aunt Wu sighed: "The harvested herbs are sold to Shuiqing, so that the family has work to do and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them. Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern!"
Now they only want to expand the herbal medicine shop!
Just like Shuiqing said, grow bigger and stronger to create brilliance.
A group of people were discussing happily, but the person in the front saw the figure coming towards them and his face changed immediately.
