Chapter 33: Water Diversion

Liu Erniu was very efficient, and on the afternoon of the third day, he used an ox cart to pull fifty bamboos of uniform thickness to Gu's house.

"Junlan girl, come and see if it's suitable."

Calling Gu Junlan, Liu Erniu went to the well, wet a towel with water and wiped his face.

When Gu heard the voice, he also came out of the stove room, and he also brought a bowl of water boiled by Huoxiang in his hand.

Touching the bamboo on the oxcart that was split in half according to his requirements, Gu Junlan nodded, and there was satisfaction in his eyes that could not be hidden.

"Thank you Second Uncle Liu!" These bamboos are just the right thickness.

"Thank you, didn't you give the money! I should have done it! Liu Erniu smiled innocently.

"Huh?! Haizhu girl, what kind of water are you boiling here, it's quite delicious. ”

With a bowl of underwater belly, Liu Erniu felt that the heat was dissipated and he was refreshed.

"This is the recipe given by Lan'er to Dr. Wu to relieve the heat, and the herbs picked on the mountain are boiled."

"Hey, don't say it, it works."

"Then later, Second Brother Liu, you take some Huoxiang back, and I'll tell you how to boil this summer soup."

Liu Erniu is not a twisted person, and when he heard Gu say this, he immediately happily agreed.

——

The Gu family is at the foot of the mountain, although it is a little far away from the village, which just makes it convenient for Gu Junlan to do things.

She doesn't plan to publicize the rice until it is grown.

With bamboo, Gu Junlan and Gu Shi dragged them up the mountain one by one.

The bamboo and the bamboo are tied tightly with hemp rope.

The deep pool on the mountainside and the dry land of the Gu family are in a straight line, so there is just no need to detour.

After three full days of busy work, the two of them were able to tie all the bamboos.

"Lan'er, what do you want to do, divert water?!"

Seeing this, the Gu family also understood what Gu Junlan meant.

"Mother, with these pools of water, our dry land can be converted into paddy fields!"

Hearing her words, Gu's eyes lit up slightly, but the next second he frowned.

"This method is good, but how to lead this pool of water into the bamboo pipe?"

The pond is surrounded by rocks and sand, and even if the pipe is placed there, it is impossible for the water to flow directly into it.

"Mother, the stream under the mountain is this pool of water, there must be an outlet near here, we can divert the water!"

After speaking, Gu Junlan began to walk around the pool, and after a while, he saw a gurgling branch in the weeds dozens of meters away from him.

A ditch was dug next to the water with a hoe, and Gu Junlan pulled the connected bamboo pipe over and put it into the pool water that flowed out.

The water jumped and poured into the bamboo pipe, and flowed down.

Seeing this scene, Gu's mouth opened slightly in surprise.

"Mother, let's go down and have a look."

When they reached the bottom of the mountain, the water flowed faster than them, and the clear pool of water had already flowed into the dry land.

"In a few days, the land will probably be watered."

One step closer to the goal, Gu Junlan began to work on the following rice seed work.

She knows that in modern times, people who grow rice buy ready-made seedlings, and I don't know if there were any in ancient times.

If you don't have seedlings, you have to grow them yourself.

After asking Gu Shi, Gu Junlan was overjoyed.

There is a place in the town that specializes in buying seedlings, but unlike modern times, it is the most primitive and unhybridized kind.

"Two days is the day of the market, do you want to go?"

Over the years, not to mention Gu Junlan, even Gu himself has never been to the market.

One is that there is no money, and the other is still no money.

"Well, Lan'er wants to go and see it too."

Regarding the price of prices in this dynasty, Gu Junlan planned to inquire and see what business opportunities there were by the way.
