"Flush toilet?" Xiao Qi suddenly became curious and asked Lian Man'er, "Sister, what is a flush toilet?" ”

Lian Man'er was thinking about it for a long time, and when she heard Xiao Qi ask her, she came back to her senses, only to realize what she had just said. The toilet bowl is something that has existed for a long time in this era, and it is also called a descendant bucket. Households generally have latrines outdoors. During the day, it is convenient for people to go to the latrine to solve the problem. But at night, especially in winter, it is very inconvenient to do so. Therefore, every household has a toilet, which is convenient to use at night, and when it is dawn, the dirt from the toilet is poured into the latrine, and then the toilet is washed.

This is a farmer's house, the residents of the town, not every household has a latrine, so the toilet is more widely used, and therefore, pouring night incense has become an indispensable occupation.

Chapter 403 Flushing the Toilet Wealthy families have maids and servants, and naturally these people are responsible for emptying the toilet and washing the toilet. And ordinary people have to do it themselves.

Even Man'er has been here for more than a year, and she is used to other things, but for the latrine...... She just had to get used to it.

Now, with the conditions of Lian Man'er's family, they can afford to hire people to empty and wash the toilet. However, the habits of her previous life made Lian Man'er more inclined to flush the toilet in her heart.

"Sister, what is a flush toilet?" Xiao Qi waited for a long time, but when he didn't see Lian Man'er answering, he asked again.

Lian Man'er looked at Xiao Qi. This little guy is deaf and clear-sighted, and wants to fool him into saying that he heard wrong, and these books are impossible. Then, you can only think of explanations.

"The toilet is the one we use." Lian Man'er thought about it, and explained to Xiao Qi, "I'm thinking, it would be nice if I could have a toilet that I could flush." It's clean and convenient. In the future, in winter, it will save our father and mother, and we will have to clean the toilet every day. ”

"The toilet that you can flush yourself...... Xiao Qi climbed onto the kang, sat next to Lian Man'er, and hugged the milk cat Dahuā who was lying on Lian Man'er's lap. If you really have a toilet that can flush itself. That's nice. ”

Obviously, Xiao Qi was also attracted by Lian Man'er's idea of the 403rd chapter flush toilet.

"If we have a toilet that flushes itself, we can build a latrine in our house." Lian Man'er continued: "That's it. In winter, we don't have to run outside to the latrine on a cold day. ”

For more than a year, Lian Man'er has fallen in love with this kind of rural life from the bottom of her heart. The only regret is the hygiene. Lian Man'er wants flush toilets, indoor latrines, and she also wants to build a bathroom.

Lian Man'er felt that these three problems had been solved. Her country life is almost perfect.

"Sister, can you really fix the latrine in the house? It doesn't stink yet? Sister, let's fix it quickly" Xiao Qi listened to Lian Man'er's description, and his eyes immediately lit up.

More comfortable life, who doesn't like that.

When Lian Man'er saw Xiao Qi's appearance, she was even more determined to build a flush toilet toilet.

The so-called one person is short-minded, and two people are long-term. Lian Man'er felt that this matter was going to find a few more people. Brainstorming. She has the basics and ideas for the toilet bowl and finds some skilled craftsmen. The wisdom of the working people is endless, and Lian Man'er firmly believes this.

Evening. After the family had dinner, Lian Man'er took out the sketch of the flush toilet she drew and showed it to the big guy. On this day, after Xiaoqi's publicity, everyone is full of expectations for the flush toilet.

After explaining the concept of the flush toilet, Lian Man'er explained a series of related upper and lower parts on the sketch to the big guy.

The flush toilet envisioned by Lian Man'er mainly consists of a flush toilet and a flush tank connected to the toilet. She initially planned to use a larger tank to supply water. As for the launching device, a thick pipe is used.

Compared to Lian Shouxin and Zhang's. Several children were obviously more interested in Lian Man'er's design. And Mr. Lu is the most interested.

Mr. Lu took the drawing, looked at it several times, and took the trouble to ask Lian Man'er, and Lian Man'er explained it to him as carefully as possible.

For example, the curve of the connection between the flush toilet and the sewer pipe, Mr. Lu feels that it is not conducive to flushing, after all, it is not conducive to flushing. The direct pendant shape is more convenient for flushing. Lian Man'er explained to Mr. Lu that this curve will not hinder the flushing, and that it can store a part of the water, thus creating a partition and not allowing the temperature of the sewer to overflow.

Mr. Lu was surprised at first, then thought for a while, and couldn't help nodding.

"It's worth a try, it's worth a try. Man'er, it's a shame that you think about it. Mr. Lu exclaimed.

Lian Man'er stroked her forehead, this bend is one of the essences of the flush toilet, this is not something she came up with, it is the knowledge she remembers in her head.

"What's in this tank?" Mr. Lu asked.

Lian Man'er hurriedly explained to Mr. Lu the functions of the inlet pipe, outlet pipe, water plug, float and lever. None of these things are new in this era, but no one has combined them for this purpose.

Mr. Lu is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he can draw inferences from Lian Man'er's account. ”…… This toilet, and this little cistern, I'm going to use porcelain. Lian Man'er said again.

The process requirements of flush toilets and flush tanks are relatively high, and the requirements of comfort and aesthetics must be taken into account, so fine porcelain is used.

"For such a delicate job, I'm afraid I have to find a porcelain kiln in the county." Even keep your word.

"Hmm." Lian Man'er nodded, only skilled craftsmen and more professional porcelain kilns could fire the effect she needed.

As for the large water tank used for water supply and the coarse water pipe for drainage, Lian Man'er planned to find Zhao Liansheng and his son in Zhaojia Village. His family can fire all kinds of large vats, and he should also be able to fire stoneware pipes. And that big tank itself is equivalent to a big tank.

Doing so not only saves money, but also makes it easier. After all, porcelain firing is a delicate job, and burning large volumes of things is not what those porcelain kilns are good at.

"You'll have to find a coppersmith." Mr. Lu pointed to the parts in the tank and thought.

"Yes." Lian Man'er nodded hurriedly, "Sir, you see, I also have this general idea, and the drawing is not good." Sir, can I just trouble you, and then improve it and draw another picture. ”

Lian Man'er took out the floor plan of the new house and pointed out to Mr. Lu the location where she planned to build a flush toilet. Even the layout of Man'er's new house, as well as the floor plan, were all planned with the help of Mr. Lu. Therefore, Lian Man'er is full of confidence in Mr. Lu.

She had already thought about it, and she was responsible for coming up with a concept and basic principles, and the rest of the detailed design was handed over to Mr. Lu and those skilled craftsmen.

Of course, she is also responsible for paying. In order to flush the toilet, even if the money bag bleeds profusely, she is willing.

Mr. Lu did not live up to Lian Man'er's expectations, she took Lian Man'er's sketch back, and after two days of work, she completed the design drawing.

Lian Man'er looked at the design drawings drawn by Mr. Lu and couldn't help but secretly admire. Mr. Lu is really talented, this drawing is no worse than the computer-aided drawings drawn by those designers she has seen in her previous life, and Mr. Lu also marked the specific dimensions of each part.

With this drawing, the next step is to find someone to make it according to the drawing.

"This water tank and toilet bowl can't be made by ordinary craftsmen. If it is according to my wishes, it is better to ask for help from Master Jiang. Mr. Lu said.

Lian Man'er heard this and immediately nodded.

Lord Jiang is the official sent by the city to supervise the construction of the imperial archway, and these days, Lord Jiang and Lian Man'er's family have gotten along very well. As far as Lian Man'er knows, many of the manufacturing and construction projects in Fucheng are the responsibility of this Master Jiang.

Master Jiang is not only half an expert, but he is also an official in charge of this area, and he has the top craftsmen in all walks of life.

It was fitting that he was asked to help with this.

On the same day, Lian Man'er's family prepared a sumptuous banquet and invited Master Jiang to come. After being full of wine and food, Lian Shouxin took out the drawings designed by Mr. Lu.

Master Jiang looked at the drawings, and his eyes immediately lit up.

This is a look of joy when he sees the hunt, and even Man'er immediately knows that this matter is roughly done.

When Mr. Lu explained the drawings in detail, Mr. Jiang's posture of holding the drawings became as if he was holding a priceless treasure in his hand.

“…… There is a lot of trouble for Lord Jiang in this matter, as far as our Liaodong Mansion can do this, except for you, Lord Jiang, there is no one else. Lian Shouxin said with a smile.

Lian Man'er saw that the heat was almost over, so he and Xiao Qi came out with a tray, and on the tray were five envelopes of silver, a total of one hundred taels.

"Lord Jiang, this hundred taels of silver is the money for Lord Jiang to find craftsmen and materials. Master Jiang takes it first, it's not enough, we'll add it at any time. When things are made, we will thank Master Jiang again. Lian Man'er said with a smile.

"Well said, well said." Master Jiang also smiled and said, "When this thing is sincere, maybe I still thank you, but I don't know." ”

Mr. Jiang took the drawings and immediately summoned the craftsmen to start construction, during which he came to Mr. Lu to ask some detailed questions, and Mr. Lu answered them one by one.

Lian Man'er looked at it, Master Jiang obviously had some sales, obviously, he was more concerned about the flush toilet than Lian Man'er expected, beyond the kind of care entrusted by others.

Even Man'er thinks this is not bad, as long as she can use the flush toilet, everything is negotiable.

More than half a month later, the flush toilet that Lian Man'er was looking forward to was finally fired.

Send a change first, ask for pink. Strive for the second watch in the evening.

PS It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, ancient Rome already had simple flush toilets. In 1596, the English first invented the practical toilet. There is also information that from the tomb of the Western Han royal family 2,000 years ago, the earliest flushable toilet was found. (To be continued!!
