Chapter 376: Digging a Well

Early in the morning, in the courtyard of the new house, Li Feng, Xiaohu, Rou Niang, and the whole family began to take their places, of course, Xiao Hei was absolutely indispensable. Next to it, there are all kinds of tools, hoes, iron picks, shovels, bamboo baskets, baskets and so on. The reason why these things are being prepared is because there is a big project to start today.

Li Feng decided to start digging 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, this is also something that cannot be helped, otherwise, it is too troublesome to go to the west of the village, the village public well every day to fetch water. Or it's more convenient to dig a well directly at home.

Digging a well is nothing strange to Li Feng. In the later generations of the countryside, 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 this Tang Dynasty, digging a well in one's own yard was something that only a large family could do. For ordinary people, no one does that. Maybe I think it's too cost-effective to spend so much time, and besides, there is not much water every day. Digging wells is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also, costly.

Therefore, this digging of the well is quite unusual for everyone. If Li Feng hadn't brought it up, everyone would not have thought about it. However, since Li Feng proposed it, the family must all support it. Besides, if you think about it, it's really convenient to have a well in your house, isn't it?

"Brother Li, can you dig a well here?"

However, for this matter, Rou Niang and her sisters still have no bottom in their hearts and are very worried. If you can't dig up water, then what's good? Seeing that Li Feng was about to start work, Rou Niang still asked with some concern.

"It should be no problem, we are here, already at the foot of the mountain, the terrain is not high, digging out the water, there will be no big problem. It's a big deal, just dig a little deeper."

I heard Rou Niang ask. Li Feng could only raise his head, and after looking around for a while, he spoke. Although, he didn't dare to pack a ticket for this, but. But I wasn't too worried. As he said, it's just a matter of digging deeper. As for Rou Niang's worries, it is because they have seen too little of this kind of thing, and it is inevitable that they will be worried.

"Well, don't think about it. Even if you can't dig up water, it's nothing. It's just a waste of effort. It's all about exercising, hehe. ”

After Li Feng explained two sentences, he didn't say anything more and grabbed the big shovel. And they started to act. It's still just starting to dig the surface, no doubt, with a big shovel. The efficiency is the fastest. Anyway, Li Feng has a lot of strength. The shovel is also strong, so Li Fenggen does not need to use his feet, but directly grabs the shovel with two hands, and digs it up quickly.

This is also because Li Feng relies on his strength to be unusual, you must know that the soil on the surface of the earth, although it is not very strong, but it is definitely not loose.

Li Feng kept digging one shovel after another, and the soil dug out, Xiaohu and the others immediately loaded it into the big basket, and after loading, put it on Xiao Hei's back and let Xiao Hei transport it away.

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

Doing so, of course, doubled the amount of work, but Li Feng still decided to do so. There's no way, Li Feng is really a little scared, if the well is too small, when the time comes, people below will feel very depressed, and they will definitely be locked up. Anyway, he relied on brute force and didn't care about the amount of work. Besides, the space is more open, and his speed can be much higher.

Facts have proved that Li Feng's idea is right. The open space allows him to dig down his roots very smoothly without using other tools, just with his short shovel. It didn't take long for Li Feng's figure to be seen on the ground.

"Xiaohu, Sister Yang, come, put this thing up"

At this time, Li Feng could no longer directly get the soil out, and at this time, he could only hang the soil up through baskets and ropes. So, Rou Niang began to command everyone and began to install wooden shelves. If you look closely, it turns out to be a pulley frame.

"Brother Li, you rest for a while, don't be too tired, if you are tired, change Xiaohu to dig for a while"

Once everything is ready, of course, we will continue to work. However, because he couldn't shovel the soil out of the box, he had to put the soil into a basket first, and then Rou Niang and the others got it, which made Li Feng's speed start to slow down. In addition, after digging underneath, the operation is always affected in some way. As a result, Li Feng was also a little struggling.

Without going down to experience it in person, Rou Niang and the others can imagine how hard it is to dig the soil and stones below, which makes Rou Niang and them feel distressed for a while.

"I know, it's okay, it's just this little job, it's not hard for me."

As he dug deeper and deeper, he was tired, Li Feng didn't feel it, but he felt a little depressed, but in order to finish it earlier, he didn't slow down at all, but worked harder.

In the busy, time always flies the fastest, and before you know it, it's noon. Over there, Yang Jie had already made lunch, and Li Feng hurriedly climbed up from the bottom of the well to prepare for dinner. As the saying goes, people are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. What's more, after such a high-intensity 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, and he almost fell back into the well in fright.

"I said, Seventh Master, you old man, can you speak first. Do you know that people can be scared to death? Although, we are very familiar with your old face, but you are so quiet, hey......"

After spending a long time, Li Feng came to his senses, and he didn't fall, but he was really taken aback by the Seventh Master.

"Go, I'm cowardly, and I blame the old man. The old man hasn't said that he was taken aback by you. Look at what you look like now...... By the way, what are you doing kid, digging wells? ”

Regarding Li Feng's complaints, Qi Yegen didn't care. Instead, he ridiculed Li Feng. At this moment, Li Feng is like a mud monkey. However, the Seventh Master was even more curious, how could Li Feng think about digging a well at home.

"Have you eaten, let's go, let's talk while drinking"

Regarding the seventh master's question, Li Feng did not rush to answer, but went to the side to wash his hands and face first. I want to ask the seventh master if he has eaten. However, soon I won't ask. This old man, as long as the meal comes, he will definitely come to eat and drink.

For the coming of the seventh master, everyone in the family. I have long been accustomed to it, so after a few casual greetings, everyone took their places, and then, the leftovers from the meal, and the wine was poured.

"You kid. You haven't answered me yet. ”

After sitting down, the seventh master took a sip of wine, and then came another piece of big fat meat. Then he turned his head again and asked Li Feng.

"Isn't it just digging a well, what else can there be? Dig a well at home, and you don't have to run to the west of the village all day. Besides. It doesn't take much work. Once it's dug up, it's convenient from now on, so why not. ”

Regarding the fuss of the seventh master, Li Feng didn't care.

"Well, that's a good idea, lazy people always have a way to be lazy. Then you hurry up and get it, there is a shortage of manpower, and when the time comes, let me know, and I will ask people to come and help. Wait until you've got it done and see how it goes. If it is feasible, when the time comes, dig one in the yard from house to house, and when the time comes, you don't have to go out to fetch water, which is indeed convenient, especially in this winter......"

"Dare to love old man, you are using me as an experiment"

After listening to the words of the seventh master, Li Feng came back to his senses, and looked at the seventh master speechlessly.

"Hehe......"

Regarding Li Feng's words, the seventh master really smiled and did not answer, and then began to eat and drink again. Needless to say, that's what people really mean. In fact, Li Feng is just pretending to be depressed.

A lunch ended in such a small talk, and after eating, Li Feng wanted to continue to work. However, it is a pity that he was stopped by the old man again.

"Well, I came here today mainly for one thing, to ask for your opinion. I want to renovate all the thatched houses in the village, do you think it is feasible? ”

Looking at Li Feng who stopped, the seventh master was also refreshed, and he went straight to the topic and explained his intention.

"Renovating a thatched house? Oh, you always mean, you're going to make it all indoors. Wrong...... Forget it, old man, just say it, what do you want, what can I do"

As soon as he heard the words of the seventh master, Li Feng suddenly understood a little. Since this old man, in the bathroom in Li Feng's new house, he has been to the toilet a few times. For this peculiar thatched house, it is full of praise. Now, since he has brought it up, there is no doubt that he must have come here as well.

Of course, Li Feng will not have any opinions on this. Regarding the situation of the so-called public toilets in the village, Li Feng has long been taught. Li Feng is of course very happy to change the condition of this thatched house and greatly improve the sanitary conditions in the village.

It's just that Li Feng couldn't figure out what the seventh master planned to do.

"Actually, everything else is easy to say. How to build this thatched house, old man, I already have a plan in my heart. Now, the only trouble is that without your cement, this thatched house is not easy to make. When the time comes, even if you get it, it will be four different, so this time I will ......"

"I thought it was just for this, as for it. Wait, I'm going to get the recipe. ”

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

It's a pity that for this kind of thing, Li Feng has another idea entirely. Since he didn't plan to make money with these things, for Li Feng, there was no need to keep it secret.
