The sky was dark, and the subordinates of the Xu Mansion had already gotten up to pack up their things and prepare for the day.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the people are wearing festive costumes, shuttling back and forth in the Xu Mansion, busy.

For these subordinates in the Xu Mansion, compared to before, there were already some smiles on their faces in the new year.

In the past, they did not have enough to eat, and they had to do heavy agricultural work every day, in addition to worrying about the crops in the fields, they also had to calculate how much was left after they had paid their sleeping food.

When they became outcasts, they were all living like walking dead, hoping to get a bite to eat every day.

Now, after coming to Xufu, the things to do every day are very simple, and it is also easy, and there is a lot of money every month.

All this is due to his own young master, a bodhisattva-hearted good person.

I don't know if it's a maid who has a news that his young master is going to fetch water in the backyard of Xu's Mansion today.

You must know that in addition to river water, the only water they use for their daily life is well water. And the young master had no intention of digging a well, so he actually wanted to get water in the yard, which naturally made everyone very curious.

Early in the morning, before breakfast, everyone gathered in the backyard and saw Wei Cheng's grandfather and son holding a few iron pipes of different lengths, as well as some strange things that looked like weapons but were not weapons.

Xu Xiang also got up early in the morning today, although he usually has the habit of lying in bed, but today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, symbolizing the beautiful outlook for the future in the new year, so he naturally has to get up early.

The first thing to do was to solve the problem of water sources, and the things he instructed Wei Cheng's grandfather and son to build had been completed, and now they could start to get it.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master, you're here!"

"Young master, you have brought all the things you ordered, can you take a look if there is any problem?"

When everyone saw him coming, they greeted him one after another.

"Hmm." Xu Xiang nodded, the accessories on the drawing were drawn by him conservatively estimating the depth of the groundwater, and there should be no problem.

In modern times, if you want to install a pressurized water well at home, you must drive steel pipes into the ground.

Xu Xiang drew a circle in a suitable place in the backyard, and then said, "You guys are ready to smash this steel pipe into it." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, "Young Master, did you smash into the soil?" So you can get water? ”

"Well, it should work." In modern times, this kind of pressurized water well is a very simple device, as long as the groundwater is not very deep, there is basically no problem.

So, a group of people supported the steel pipe, took the latte hammer, first used a short steel pipe, and then used a long steel pipe, and smashed it to the ground.

Just when everyone was in full swing to start this project, Jiang Shenyu came over with Qing'er and Luo Min.

"Xu Changsha, what are you doing? I didn't go to get food this morning, and I came here? Luo Min asked with a yawn.

Jiang Shenyu smiled slightly and said, "Miss Luo, you may not know yet, Changsha said that you can get water by using this method, and you don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Huh? Water? Luo Min's eyes showed a look of disbelief, "If you want to get water, don't you just dig a well?" ”

Xu Xiang explained: "Digging a well is too labor-intensive, but it is still convenient to get water this way, and it is much cleaner than well water. ”

"Really? They can get water by smashing this iron pipe into the soil? Luo Min watched them hammer them with a hammer for a long time, and only saw that it was less than half a meter into it, and said very suspiciously.

Without a pile driver, Xu Xiang had no choice but to use this clumsy method.

Luo Min walked over and asked, "Are you going to smash this iron pipe into the dirt?" ”

Seeing Xu Xiang nodded, Luo Min stretched, "Go away!" Let me! ”

The servants put down their hammers and stayed aside, Luo Min gently urged the internal force in her body, jumped lightly, jumped on the top of the steel pipe, and slapped her palm on the top of the steel pipe, only to hear a muffled sound, and the steel pipe was all slapped into the soil by her.

Xu Xiang showed a look of disbelief in his eyes, this ...... Is it so strong?

"How? What's next? How do I get water? Luo Min patted the ash on his hands and asked with a relaxed expression.

Xu Xiang reacted from the shock and said, "You take it out again." ”

"Take it out?" Luo Min was stunned, "What you just smashed in and have to take it out, what are you doing?" ”

But she still did so and took out the steel pipe, Xu Xiang saw that the bottom of the one-meter-long steel pipe was still dry soil, and knew that it was still a little far from the groundwater.

So she was asked to smash the two-meter-long steel pipe into it and take it out.

After several times in a row, it had been replaced with a six-meter steel pipe, Luo Min was a little impatient, and after smashing the six-meter steel pipe into it, he asked, "When are you going to get this?" ”

"You take this root out first." The five-meter-long steel pipe in front of it was already very loose in the soil, and it carried some water, and Xu Xiang knew that it was not far from the groundwater.

Luo Min took out the steel pipe again, and this time Xu Xiang saw that there was already some sand and gravel at the end of the six-meter steel pipe, and the soil on the steel pipe had become thin mud, and it had reached the position of the groundwater.

He was overjoyed, and then said, "All right! ”

"That's good? What about water? Luo Min was puzzled, and the other onlookers also looked at him curiously.

"Now, let you witness the magic! Ha ha! Xu Xiang happily pressed out the soil in the six-meter-long steel pipe, and then put another steel pipe with a smaller diameter into the larger steel pipe just now.

And put a filter bag of filtered activated carbon and stone and gravel inside the small steel pipe, and when everything is ready, the steel pipe is re-entered.

Then, the steel pipe protruding from the ground is fixed with a wooden board, and the piston and other accessories are installed and sealed.

"Qing'er, go get some water!" After Xu Xiang installed everything, he couldn't wait to use this pressurized water well.

For the first time, he used a pressurized well to draw water from the ground, and he had to put some water in to draw water, and although he didn't know how it worked, it was the case.

After Qing'er fetched the water, he poured it into the pressurized well, and then shook the handle of the pressurized well frantically.

He felt the presence of pressure, proving that the water was slowly coming up.

It didn't take long for the water outlet of the pressurized well to flow out of the water, and the first time the water was pressed up, it was naturally muddy water, which was relatively turbid, because when the steel pipe was drilled into the aquifer, the soil entered the water.

"Shh Although he saw that the water was indeed coming out, Luo Min showed a hint of sneer, "The water you have taken is all dirty water, what use can it be?" ”

And the others also had a look of disappointment and pity.

However, Xu Xiang didn't care, and continued to press the handle of the well, "What's the hurry, there will be clean water soon." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the murky water to become less and less, and in the end, all that came out was clean and clear water.

"Ahh It's really out of the water! It's amazing! Luo Min's eyes widened when she saw the clean water.

"Yay! There's water! ”

"Wow! The young master is so powerful! ”

"The young master is really a god!"

All the servants celebrated this great occasion with a cheer on their faces.

"Qing'er, bring the bowl!" Xu Xiang said to Qing'er.

Qing'er took a bowl, caught the well water that Xu Xiang scooped out, and then handed it over.

He stopped, took the bowl, looked at the clear well water, and put it into his mouth.

"Changsha...... This...... Can you drink it? Jiang Shenyu stepped forward and stopped him, after all, what flowed out just now was turbid water.

"Of course you can drink it!" Xu Xiang drank it all, and the water was much cleaner than the water from the old well on the street.

A burst of cold water flowed down his throat into his heart, after all, it was winter, and the temperature of this water was naturally a little low, but it had a sweet taste, refreshing.

"Shenyu, you can taste it too." Xu Xiang took another bowl of water and handed it over.

Jiang Shenyu took the bowl suspiciously, Xu Xiang had already drunk a bowl, she naturally did not refuse, when the water entered her mouth and flowed down her throat, her eyes lit up.

"How is this water sweet?" Jiang Shenyu looked at the water in the bowl with a look of disbelief.

"Huh? Sweet? I'll try it too! The servants around went to fetch bowls, and then water, and tasted them as soon as they could.

"I'll taste it too! I'll try it too! Luo Min is a typical person who likes to join in the fun, and hurriedly snatched the bowl in Jiang Shenyu's hand and tasted it, the water was really sweet.

She couldn't help but give Xu Xiang a thumbs up and said, "Xu Changsha, you are so amazing!" ”

Jiang Shenyu, Qing'er and the others also showed a look of worship in their eyes.

Xu Xiang saw that everyone was scrambling to taste the well water, just like tasting the elixir and jade dew, bowl after bowl.

"That's it! Although this water is sweet, it is easy to get sick after drinking too much in winter, so everyone still has to boil the water before drinking, understand? "Although the well water is good, it should not be drunk all the time, because drinking too much will cause diarrhea and cause symptoms.

Seeing Xu Xiang say this, those servants were not as enthusiastic as they were just now.

"Bang bang bang!" After Xu Xiang arranged for someone to use a pressurized well to get water, and the others performed their duties, he just came to the front yard when he heard someone knocking on the door of Xu's mansion in a hurry.

"Xiaofan, go see who knocks on the door." Xu Xiang is very curious, who will come over so early on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

Xiao Fan walked to the door in response, opened the door, and saw three men and one woman outside the door of Xu's Mansion, looking hurried and looking very nervous.

"Who are you looking for?" Xiao Fan asked suspiciously.

"Is Xu Changsha here?" The woman asked.

"Are you looking for my young master?" Xiao Fan asked, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noisy sound at the end of the street, like an army running on a large scale, and the direction was coming from this side.

When the four of them heard the sound at the end of the street, their faces changed, and the woman said anxiously, "We know your young master!" ”

After saying that, they didn't care so much, and the four of them rushed in directly.

"Hey......" Xiao Fan couldn't stop them, shouted loudly, and then he saw a large number of soldiers at the end of the street, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door.

Xu Xiang naturally heard the movement, looked out the door curiously, and saw the four people rushing in in a hurry.

"Yuan Gongzi? Ling'er girl? He recognized it immediately, it was Xuanyuan Ding and Zhai Ling'er, who had saved his life before.
