"I didn't expect it to be fifteen years." The proprietress led Rex to sit down with Hallie and made a pot of peppermint herbal tea.

Rex lamented, "Time flies and it's always unexpected. ”

Fifteen years is enough time for Hallie to grow from a baby to a "slim" young man. Hallie picked up the hot tea and took a light sip.

The fragrance refreshes the spleen, and the tea is sweet. It seemed to remind him of how he felt when he was a child, "I loved to eat the mint cake you made the most when I was a child." ”

The proprietress smiled, "Then you are blessed now, now I am a proprietress hostess." ”

Rex looked at her curiously, "I heard you're in charge of the Eighteen Clans?" ”

The proprietress said lightly, "Of course, this kind of difficult thing must be left to smarter people to do." ”

Smarter people?

Hallie turned her head to wink without smiling.

The man in black was sitting in the middle of the hall, his face still expressionless, as majestic as the snow-capped mountains of Ice Wolf Castle. Sharp eyes swept over the piles of papers on the table, quill in his hand rustled, writing quickly on the paper.

But in front of such a terrible person, Rowling sat down comfortably and seemed to be talking about some great imagination. Without laughing, he will intermittently use "um", "ah", and "oh" to indicate that he is still listening.

After about five or six minutes of talking, Buxiao finally interrupted her self-praise: "Lydia is here." ”

A young woman wearing a straw hat and a ponytail walked in at the door, "Yo, I heard that a little Lori finally came to see me?" ”

Rowling happily looked back and said, "Sister Lydia, you've worked hard. ”

"You're Lydia?" Hallie and Rex were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground.

No one thought that the girl who asked for directions casually on the road turned out to be the legendary princess of gunfire.

"What's so strange?" Lydia smiled and wiped the sweat from her face, seeing the confusion between the two, but smiled noncommittally.

Harley and Rex looked at each other, both seeing horror in each other's eyes.

"Look, your arms are tanned." Rowling said distressedly.

Lydia spread her hands, "Farming, it's always going to tan." Since you're here, why don't you help me design a farming machine? ”

Naturally, Rowling agreed.

"But first, I'll ask you to help build some pools." Lydia sighed, "The water here is still scarce, and there should be a rainstorm in a few days, so it would be nice if it could be put to good use." ”

Rowling patted her chest to indicate that she was wrapped in it.

.

Originally, Lydia just wanted Rowling to use cement to build several large pools to store water, but as soon as this plan was proposed, Rowling ridiculed her as a big-chested woman. If it weren't for the lack of mastery of the core technology, Lydia would have almost dug a hole and buried her.

Rowling led a few craftsmen to dig a large pit at least three meters deep, but the pit still had the shape of a hemisphere in the middle. Many of the elders of the Red Pavilion came to watch, but no one knew what she wanted to do.

She examined the soil at the bottom of the pit and saw that it was not the fine sand of the desert, but the mud that was about to be desertified. So she took a shovel and struck it with a hammer herself, "It seems that this method will work." ”

As she spoke, she asked the craftsmen to use this special shovel to dig vertically down around the shape of the hemisphere. As the shovel dug deeper and deeper, she had the handle of the shovel lengthened, and she did not stop the craftsmen until the handle was three meters long.

"Pour the cement." "This is a new product that we just developed." ”

The black "cement" poured down, and a faint sour smell came to the nostrils. Lydia pinched her nose and asked, "What is this, is it harmful to the body?" ”

Rowling said: "This is a fast cement that we developed using the secretions of tortoiseshells, and it only takes two hours to completely solidify. The smell has improved a lot, so it's good to wash it off a few times when it's dry. ”

After the cement was filled, Rowling had the craftsmen brush a thick layer of cement on the hemisphere, leaving only a hole at the top that could be drilled down by a person.

If it had been before, Lydia would have asked curiously: what is this for? But now that there are the "patriarchs" of the Red Pavilion on both sides, she has to pass by as if she knows everything, pretending to be light and windy.

By the time Lydia had returned from planting another row of grass squares, Rowling had already asked the craftsmen to fill in the hole.

"Are you sure you're not playing with them?" Lydia couldn't help but whisper, "Why did you dig it up and fill it back?" ”

Rowling laughed, "Of course, it's to dig a little less, you'll find out later." ”

At this time, several craftsmen were already digging a hole in the hole left just now, and at first it was sand, and then it was a bit like dirt.

Lydia felt that the dirt should not be wasted, so she called the old men and children of the town to make straw mats out of straw, and mixed the dirt and sand to fill them. Make an earthen pot where you can grow vegetables and fruits.

After a while, the voice of the craftsman came from below: "It's been dug up, let's cover it." ”

As baskets of cement were hoisted down, Lydia could see what Rowling was doing. It turned out that she used cement to make a shape like a water bottle in the sand.

The first hemisphere is the mouth of the bottle, which is effective in reducing evaporation due to the small opening. In the middle, a long-rod shovel excavates a cylindrical bottle. Now it's two craftsmen who have laid the bottom of the bottle by hand inside.

There were also a few craftsmen working on the side of the bottle, and they first made a small hole in the side of the bottle. A calf-deep pit was dug and two aqueducts were excavated through the openings on both sides of the pit.

"This pit is used to sink sediment." Rowling first explained, "If it rains, it will wash away a lot of sediment, and if you go straight into this water cellar, it will be very troublesome to clean it up later." Although this pit does not completely avoid sediment, it can have a great effect. ”

Lydia didn't expect to dig a cistern and learn so much, so she quickly touched Rowling's head to show encouragement.

Rowling also arranged for craftsmen to build well rings and manhole covers, making this water cellar as beautiful and beautiful as a well.

After creating this sample, the other craftsmen also knew how to do it. Draw gourds outside the town, find a place and start digging. By the end of the day, six water cellars had taken shape.

Lydia had thought that it would be nice to be able to complete one or two pools before the rainstorm, but she suddenly felt a sense of surprise when she built so many at once.

"It's not enough." Rowling spread out a map, "Don't laugh and tell me, you want to build a city like Brute Bull Town in this desert." ”

She suddenly covered her mouth and snickered, "You don't seem to know how big Brute Bull Town is now, do you?" ”
