Chapter 108 The installation team starts
The installation team is busy!
All the curious things of Zhongxiang's residents these days are gradually being explained.
The installation team first had to install the pipes on all the main roads, and finally the branches of each house.
During the installation, many residents came to watch curiously, but there will be soldiers to maintain order at the scene, so that the onlookers will not really disturb the installation team.
It took them half a month to install the main pipes, and the rest of the households were even more trivial.
Fortunately, the benefits are good enough.
At noon, the sun hung high in the sky, mercilessly scorching everything on the earth.
Xu Jiao was afraid that there would be heat stroke, so she insisted that they start eating at noon, and then take a lunch break, until the sun shifted slightly and their physical strength recovered before starting again.
"What are you going to eat for lunch today?" Jia Da, who finished the work, asked the people around him, these people around him are from the same village as him, and they will do small jobs everywhere on weekdays to make money, this time because they made a water tower, so they were also chosen to do the installation in the future.
These people are not afraid of being tired, but they are afraid that if they don't have work, their families will have no livelihood, and they will have to raise three children.
The food given by the princess was good, and he felt that he could catch up with the landlord in the village.
Breakfast they solve by themselves, the princess covers lunch and dinner, so every day when it comes to eating is the thing he looks forward to the most every day, if it is not supervised, they are not allowed to take back the rest of the food, he can't wait to eat a bite, all the saving for his wife and children.
Xu Jiao's instructions make sense, she provides good food, not only because she is kind-hearted, but also because she knows that people can only do things when they are well fed, and if they work hungry, no matter how good their mental state is, it is useless.
The same villagers around Jia Da all had the same idea as him, and when he thought of putting food in, his steps were much faster.
The so-called canteen for eating is actually a temporary shed, after all, they are constantly moving their positions, or this kind of moving shed is more suitable.
Put it on when you use it, and take it off when you don't use it.
However, with something to block the sun, the temperature under the shed is definitely much better than being exposed to the scorching sun.
They soon saw the shed, and it was all old women who were cooking, and the princess had specially instructed them to make as many meals as they could, and not to feed people, and to continue to add if they were not full.
The old woman who was cooking also had a big smile on her face, and today's dish was braised chicken nuggets, stir-fried cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, plus a sweet potato and a bowl of pork rib soup.
It sounds like a lot, but these men who have been busy working hard all morning can easily dry up this meal.
These old women came to cook and cook, and they could eat the same meal in addition to their daily wages.
With such favorable conditions, many old women rushed to sign up at that time, and the princess specially held an interview for them.
said it was an interview, but it was actually not right, Xu Jiao just asked them to cook a dish each, and they didn't want to make it unpalatable.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to eat and die, how will her workers still work?
Jia Da got today's lunch, the rice was served in a sea bowl, and the rest of the dishes were packed in a large tray, and he just got the place to eat.
"If I can always eat so well in the future, I am willing to work for the princess all the time, work hard, and don't have much money."
The rest of the people laughed: "There are a lot of people who are robbing the head of this job, you want to do it all the time, but the princess may not look down on you." ”
The joke was only short-lived, and when they saw the food in front of them, their hungry stomachs soon couldn't help but make a burst of sounds, urging them to hurry up and put things in their stomachs.
So soon, there was only the sound of chewing and swallowing under the shed, and no one was talking and chatting anymore.
After eating and drinking, the old women put away their bowls, took aside the simple tables, chairs and benches, spread a layer of things on the ground and rested.
This thing is a mat with a certain thickness, and if it was just a piece of cloth, they would probably be burned to death.
Today, as soon as they lay down and before they could close their eyes, a carriage came by.
When they heard the voice, they immediately sat up.
"This carriage seems to be coming at us?"
No one answered him, because the matter was so obvious that the carriage stopped right in front of them.
The driver turned around and carried a large basin of ice from the carriage, and then a second basin.
"The princess said, the weather is getting hot now, and you can't rest well when the lunch break is too hot, so from today onwards, put two pots of ice under each shed, enough for you to use until the lunch break is over."
The coachman didn't say anything more to them, because he was too busy to get to the next place. These installation teams are separated around Zhong Xiangcheng, and he is responsible for delivering them to three adjacent places.
Since it was ordered by the princess, they didn't bother too much, and immediately moved the two pots of ice under the shed.
"Then let's sleep next to these two basins of ice."
The crowd gathered around two basins of ice and slept in two circles.
The white mist lingered in the ice basin, and the temperature under the shed quickly dropped to a comfortable and cool state.
After a while, the snoring came and went.
Probably because they were too tired, and they were too comfortable with the ice basin, they slept until more than an hour later, and the first person to wake up opened their eyes to find that the time was different from the previous one, and quickly woke up the rest of the people.
"Wake up, we've all slept, it's time to get to work."
The crowd was awakened and turned their gaze to the ice basin in their midst.
I saw that the ice basin was still emitting a white cold mist, but the original large piece of ice disappeared, leaving only a whole basin of water, and a fist-sized ice cube floated in the water.
"Quick, get to work."
It's strange, usually if they go too far when they are sleeping, there will be soldiers who come out to monitor the patrol by chance to wake them up, why no one has come to wake them up today.
This was specially arranged by Xu Jiao, today they used the ice basin for the first time, they didn't need to wake them up, they could wake up naturally, otherwise it would be a waste of the ice basin.
Ice is not cheap now, although she knows how to make saltpeter ice, but others don't know.
It is to establish an image of loving the people like sons to the people! She is a future emperor who loves the people like a son!
The craftsmen quickly got up and cleaned up, picked up the tools and hurried to work.
After all, the princess treats them so well, and they have to make corresponding achievements.
Xu Jiao is enjoying it very much at this moment, because she made ten pots of ice from saltpeter and put them in the dormitory, and the effect is the same as when she turned on the air conditioner, but this is more comfortable than the air conditioner, because she hates the wind that the air conditioner will blow on people.
It blows her with a headache every time.
