Volume 1: Settling Down the Tang Dynasty Chapter 376: Digging a Well

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning, in the courtyard of the new house, Li Feng, Xiaohu, Rou Niang, and the whole family began to take their places. Of course, Xiaohei was also indispensable.  Next to it, there are various tools, hoes, picks, shovels, bamboo baskets, baskets, etc.  The reason for preparing these things is because there is a big project to start today.

    Li Feng decided to dig a well in the yard starting today.

    In fact, this is not a sudden decision, but has been planned for a long time. In fact, there is nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to go to the west end of the village every day to fetch water from the public well in the village.  Too much trouble.  It is more convenient to drill a well directly at home.

    Digging wells is nothing new to Li Feng.  In rural areas in later generations, basically every household did not have a well.  Although it costs some money to hire someone to dig a well, for the convenience of water, everyone still chooses to dig a well at home.

    However, in the Tang Dynasty, digging a well in one's own yard was something only wealthy families could do.  For ordinary people, no one does this.  Perhaps they feel that it is not cost-effective to spend so much time. In addition, there is not much water used every day.  Digging a well is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also expensive.

    Therefore, this matter of digging a well is quite strange to everyone.  If Li Feng hadn't brought it up, no one would have thought about it at all.  However, since Li Feng proposed it, his family would definitely support it.  Besides, if you think about it carefully, it is really convenient to have a well in your home, isn't it?

    "Brother Li, dig a well here. Is it possible?"

    However, Rou Niang and the others still have no idea about this matter, and are very worried about what to do if they can't dig out water.  Seeing that Li Feng was about to start work, Rou Niang still asked worriedly.

    "It should be no problem. We are at the foot of the mountain and the terrain is not high. Dig out the water. There won't be any big problem. At the worst, we just need to dig deeper."

    Hearing Rou Niang¡¯s question, Li Feng could only raise his head and look around for a while.  Speaking.  Although.  He didn't dare to vouch for this.  However, I'm not too worried.  Just like what he said, the worst thing is to dig deeper.  As for Rou Niang and the others' worries.  That's because they have seen too little of this kind of thing, so it's inevitable for them to worry.

    "Okay, don't think too much about it. Even if you can't dig out water, it doesn't matter. It's just a waste of time, just think of it as exercise, haha."

    After Li Feng explained a few sentences, he stopped talking, grabbed the big shovel, and started to take action.  We are still just starting to dig the surface. There is no doubt that using a big shovel is the fastest way.  Anyway, Li Feng was strong and the shovel was strong. In this way, Li Feng didn't need to use his feet at all. Instead, he directly grabbed the shovel with both hands and started digging quickly.

    This is because Li Feng relied on his extraordinary strength to do this. You must know that although the soil on the surface is not very solid, it is definitely not loose.

    Li Feng kept digging with shovel after shovel. Xiaohu and the others immediately put the excavated soil into a large basket. After loading, they put it on Xiao Hei's back and let Xiao Hei carry it away.

    When wells are dug in rural areas, the wells are generally not very big, with a diameter of only one and a half meters.  The purpose of doing this is, of course, to reduce the amount of work.  Anyway, make it as small as possible.  However, Li Feng doesn't pay attention to that here. The diameter of the opening is three meters.

    Doing so will certainly double the amount of work, but Li Feng still decided to do so.  There is no way, Li Feng is really scared. If the well is too small, people will feel very depressed when the time comes, as if they are in confinement.  Anyway, he relied on his brute strength and didn't care about the amount of work.  Besides, if the space is wider, his speed will also increase a lot.

    Facts have proved that Li Feng¡¯s idea was right.  The open space allowed him to dig very smoothly with his short shovel without using other tools.  After a short while, Li Feng's figure was no longer visible on the ground.

    "Xiaohu, Sister Yang, come here and set this thing up."

    By this time of digging, Li Feng could no longer get the soil out directly. At this time, he could only hoist the soil up through baskets and ropes.  So Rou Niang began to direct everyone and began to install the wooden frame.  Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pulley stand.

    "Brother Li, take a rest for a while. Don't be too tired. If you are tired, let Xiaohu go down and dig for a while."

    After everything is ready, of course we can continue the work.  However, since the soil could not be shoveled out, but had to be put into a basket first, and then Rou Niang and the others could get it up, Li Feng's speed began to slow down.  In addition, after digging down, the action will always be affected.??Some impact.  As a result, Li Feng became a little strenuous.

    No need to go down to experience it in person, Rou Niang and the others can imagine how hard it is to dig earth and rocks down there, which makes Rou Niang and the others feel distressed.

    ¡°I know, it¡¯s okay, it¡¯s just a small job, it¡¯s not a problem for me.¡±

    As he dug deeper and deeper, Li Feng didn't feel tired. He just felt a little depressed. However, in order to finish the work earlier, he did not slow down at all, but worked harder.

    When you are busy, time always flies by the fastest, and it is noon before you know it.  Over there, Yang Jie had already prepared lunch, and Li Feng quickly climbed up from the bottom of the well to prepare for the meal.  As the saying goes, people are like iron rice or steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry.  What's more, after such intense work, Li Feng also felt his stomach growling.

    However, when Li Feng climbed to the mouth of the well, he suddenly saw a human head, which almost frightened him so much that he fell back into the well.

    "I said Master Qi, can you please say something first? Do you know that scaring people can scare them to death? Although we are very familiar with your old face, but you are so quiet, hey  ¡­¡±

    After spending a while, Li Feng calmed down and didn't fall. However, he was really shocked by Master Qi.

    "Go, you are timid. You blame me, the old man. The old man hasn't said that he was shocked by your boy. Look at what you look like now By the way, what are you doing, digging a well?"

    Regarding Li Feng¡¯s complaints, Master Qi didn¡¯t pay attention at all, but instead teased Li Feng.  At this moment, Li Feng looked like a mud monkey all over his body.  However, Master Qi was even more curious as to why Li Feng thought of digging a well at home.

    "Have you eaten yet? Let's go. Let's talk while drinking."

    Regarding Qi Ye¡¯s question.  Li Feng did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he went aside and washed his hands and face.  I originally wanted to ask Master Qi if he had eaten, but he quickly stopped asking.  This old man.  As soon as meal time arrives.  I'm sure I'm just here to eat and drink.

    ?????????????????????????????? Everyone in the family has long been accustomed to it, so.  After a few casual greetings, everyone went to their places, and then the leftovers of the meal were eaten and the wine was poured by the drinker.

    "You kid, you haven't answered my question yet."

    After sitting down, Qi Ye took a good sip of wine, and then, after another piece of fat meat came, he turned his head again and asked Li Feng.

    "It's just digging a well, what else can you do? If you dig a well at home, you don't have to go to the west of the village all day long. Besides, it doesn't take much effort. Once dug, it will be convenient from now on.  Well, why not do it.¡±

    Li Feng didn¡¯t care about Master Qi¡¯s fuss.

    "Well, this is indeed a good idea. Lazy people always have lazy ways. Then you should hurry up and do it. We are short of manpower. When the time comes, let us know and I will have someone come over to help. When you have it done, look  Let¡¯s see how it works. If it works, we can dig one in the yard every house. Then we won¡¯t have to go out to fetch water, which is really convenient, especially in this winter"

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, old man, you¡¯re doing experiments on me.¡±

    After listening to what Master Qi said, Li Feng finally came to his senses and looked at Master Qi with a speechless expression.

    "hehe¡­¡­"

    In response to Li Feng's words, Qi Ye did not answer with a smile, and then started eating and drinking again.  Needless to say, this is what they really mean.  In fact, Li Feng was just pretending to be depressed.

    The lunch ended with such small talk. After the meal, Li Feng wanted to continue working.  However, it was a pity that he was stopped by the old man again.

    "Well, the main reason I came here today is to ask for your opinion on one thing. I want to renovate all the huts in the village. Do you think it is feasible?"

    Looking at Li Feng who had stopped, Master Qi was very happy. He got straight to the point and explained his purpose.

    "Renovate the huts? Oh, what you mean is that you plan to make them all indoors. Noforget it, old man, just tell me what you want to do and what I can do."

    As soon as he heard Qi Ye¡¯s words, Li Feng suddenly understood.  Ever since this old man went to the bathroom in Li Feng's new house several times.  I am full of praise for this unique hut.  Now, since he brought it up, there is no doubt that he must have come here.

    Of course, Li Feng would have no objection to this.  Li Feng had already experienced the situation of the so-called public toilets in the village.  Li Feng would of course be very happy to be able to change the condition of this hut and greatly improve the sanitary conditions in the village.

     However, Li Feng was a little confused as to what Master Qi planned to do.

    "Actually, everything else is easy to talk about. How to build this hut, old man, I have already made plans in my mind. Now, the only trouble is that without your cement, this hut will be difficult to build. By then, even if it is built,  , they are also very different, so I came this time"

    "What did I think it was? Just for this. As for that. Wait, I'm going to get the formula."

    When Li Feng heard this, he finally understood what was going on.  It's no wonder that Master Qi is a little embarrassed, after all, it involves cement.  In this era, we pay special attention to this kind of thing.  For example, the brewing method of Erguotou, Qi Ye and Lao Tie just don't want to watch from the side.

    "It's a pity that Li Feng has a completely different idea about this kind of thing.  Since he doesn't plan to use these things to make money, for Li Feng, there is no need to keep it secret.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
