Chapter 198 Reservoir Construction

Sure enough, Pei Qingrin's eyes flickered and looked at Yu Shu with a sure look, he guessed on the way that Yu Shu should recognize this thing, but he didn't expect Yu Shu to call out his name when he saw it, and he really recognized it.

Pei Qingrin said that all blacksmiths couldn't make a cart spliced like the one on her drawings, so he went to the carpentry workshop, and the boss said that he could make it, and then recommended a wooden ox and a horse with a similar effect for his own emergency use.

"I saw that this thing can't transport mud now, but after harvesting the grain, it can be used to transport grain, so I bought one and came back, and I decided to get the trolley tomorrow." Pei Qingrin said simply.

Yu Shu was very curious about the wooden oxen and flowing horses that she had read in the previous books that could walk on her own, and she couldn't wait to let Pei Qingrin put it down and show herself how it walked?

"Yu Shu, who told you that the wooden ox flowing horse walks on its own, it can't walk on its own, and it's not a live horse, someone has to push it behind, like this." Pei Qingrin took down the wooden ox and horse holding the oil-paper bag and put it under the eaves and opened it.

Pei Qingrin pushed the wooden ox from behind and walked several steps.

Yu Shu looked at this thing up close, it looked like a horse, it was very large, the wheels on both sides were also very large, and there were many patterns and carvings on its body.

To be honest, this disappointed Yu Shu, Zhuge Liang's wooden ox flowing horse in the book seems to be able to walk without being driven by others, but this wooden ox flowing horse does not have this ability, Yu Shu looked at this thing and sighed that the ancients were wise, and they could really make this thing only by simple ancient books, although it was not so magical, but it was also made using the principle of gear transmission, which is very commendable.

"Let's put this wooden cow and horse in the utility room first, it's a bit big and only occupies a place!" Yu Shu said to herself, after putting the wooden ox and horse away, Yu Shu asked Pei Qinglin to accompany her to the construction site of the reservoir.

The rain outside was not big or small, and it was dripping non-stop, Yu Shu put on a very bulky coat in her eyes and followed Pei Qinglin, who was holding an oilcloth, and walked forward, at this time there were already villagers on the construction site digging ponds in the rain.

"Yu Shu's situation should be similar to that in other villages, so I'll go and ask a few villages to dig ponds as well, so that everyone can get benefits." Pei Qingrin looked at the busy people in front of him, and suddenly remembered the situation in other villages.

Yu Shu nodded and asked Pei Qinglin to take a few other bundles of oilcloth to other villages to inform the village chief, but he stayed where he was and asked people to help him cut four bamboo poles, and asked people to help prop up the oilcloth, so that the place where he was digging could be covered, and there would be no rain directly, and everyone would be much more comfortable doing things.

"Let's come and drink some water!" After watching the villagers prop up the tarpaulin, Yu Shu went home and brought the cooled boiled monk fruit tea to the construction site. Hearing this, everyone raised their heads and came to Yu Shu's side, picked up a few of the tea prepared by Yu Shu, poured tea and drank it in a big gulp, this kind of strange taste thing, under Yu Shu's explanation, they knew that it was called Luo Han Guo tea, they didn't know what Luo Han Guo was, they only knew that this thing was delicious.

Because of the shelter of the tarpaulin and the use of the trolley, the work of people on their shoulders was reduced, and the construction progress of the pond was much faster, and it took half a month to dig half of the pond with the strength of many people.

Pei Qingrin got Yu Shu's words and went to the town to customize several pulley combinations and iron plates with rope entrances at both ends, and when the pond was completed, the pulley combinations were placed at different exits, and the heavy iron blocks tied with ropes hung down from their heads.

"Pei Qingrin, try to see if you can pull this iron ring up." After the installation was completed, Yu Shu asked Pei Qingrin to try it, saying that this thing was very easy to use, so Yu Shu was relieved to let Pei Qingrin go to several other villages to promote it.

Yu Shu and the others dug the pond in one rainy season, and the water in it only accumulated a little bit of water because of the missed rainy season, and Yu Shu asked people to use stones to circle the pond in order to prevent the children from falling into the water.

On the night when the pond was built, Yu Shu said that she would make a bonfire party by the pond, so that everyone would eat meat and drink wine around the bonfire at night. "Everyone toast our Yu Shu with me a glass of wine, without her, there would be no today's stone village of our stone village, everyone should drink water and don't forget to dig the well, come, toast!" The village chief raised his glass and said.

The villagers got up and raised their glasses to make a glass of wine together, and Yu Shu also drank it firmly, but he was choked by the spicy wine and coughed for a while.

"Yu Shu, I think this trolley is very easy to use, why don't you put it in the village inn, with the two of us watching, anyone who wants to use it in the future can come and borrow it?" The village chief asked, this trolley is Yu Shu's really should not be owned by himself, but the village chief thinks that this thing is easy to use, can be regarded as a common thing for everyone, who borrows who pays the responsibility for safekeeping, who wants to borrow it must write an IOU, if it is damaged, the other party must be responsible for repairing or buying a new one.

Yu Shu thought about it, this is not an exaggeration, and this thing Yu Shu thinks that no matter what he buys, he can contribute to the village and leave it for everyone to use, anyway, he doesn't need to use it.

Finally twelve carts were sent into the inn to watch, and the chief's sons took on the task of patrolling the farmland with the wolfdog, but fortunately the dog had been domesticated and the other two men who had fed him had also been recognized.

Because the fish are fat, whether it is in this village or other villages, there may be a quiet fishing behavior, being chased by wolf dogs embarrassed, for this matter, they said it mercilessly, those who have the idea of stealing big fish from other people's fields.

In this way, those who had bad intentions were chased and bitten by wolf dogs one by one, and every day there would be life-saving cries from the other side of the field, as well as embarrassed clothes.

"You're welcome, you're all your own people! If there is any trouble in the future, it will be bothering everyone, so I don't need to thank you," Yu Shu said.

She doesn't want the people in the village to be polite to her and treat herself as an outsider, Yu Shu wants to be a hero of the stone village, she understands the truth that the height is unbearable, she doesn't want others to treat herself as an outsider, she no longer has the love of the original owner's own parents, she just wants to be an ordinary villager in this stone village, and everyone shares good things together.

"Yu Shu, this fish is getting bigger and bigger, I see that the ears of grain have slowly come out, and we will start harvesting when the seedlings are full of ears, right?" Pei Qinglin asked.

Pei Qingrin learned from Yu Shu that during the harvest, because of fish farming, it was necessary to wipe the ears and harvest, that is, not to cut the seedlings, but to cut them home directly under the ears of grain. When the ears of grain are harvested, a little of the water in the field can be released, and when the water is almost half drained away, it is time to fish. Pei Qingrin estimated the time and contacted the fishmonger to come to the village to collect fish after a while.
