Chapter Seventy-One: Water Mountain
On the other side of the hill, Yu Zheng went to watch, and it was not difficult to clean up the weeds, and the villagers in the village would not be lazy and slippery as long as they wanted to do things in her house in the future, and the Su family did not send anyone over again. Lian bought a large pile of radish seeds from every household in the village, and when they were cleaned up, the radish seeds could be planted.
The people in the village only felt that the Su family's head was kicked by a donkey, and the purchase of the mountain was actually used to grow radish, which everyone knew would lose money, but the land was bought by others, and they couldn't care if they wanted to plant whatever they wanted, anyway, the Su family didn't give less than the salary of 30 yuan a day, and the villagers slandered in their hearts for a while.
Yu Zheng also felt that Su Yu had to replenish his brain, before and after the Chinese New Year in Xinglin Town, it would not rain for several months, and if there was no water for planting radish, the radish seedlings would not come out, this was not a blind effort. Although Yu Zheng has never done farm work, he still knows the basic truth, but the Su family is used to it, and he can't care about it as an outsider, and he doesn't want to take care of it.
Su Yu outsourced the work of making toothbrushes to the villagers in the village, except for Mrs. Liu's house, as long as the villagers wanted to do it, they could come to her house to pick up the work. Bamboo doesn't need money in the countryside, the villagers can go to the mountains to cut it themselves, and they don't have to worry about the lack of pig hair.
After straightening out these things at home, Su Yu began to hatch duck seedlings, picking and choosing more than 30,000 duck eggs collected in front of her, and finally it could be used, there were more than 23,000, Su Yu planned to hatch it at one time, and she would stay at home most of the time during this time.
And the shop, these days bacon sausage has not sold much, the soap at the door is on fire, especially the town women love, ten dollars is not much, and a piece can be used for a long time, can be used a lot better than the grass ash at home, the soap in the shop is a box of takeaway, at least one day to sell two boxes, but also drove the bacon sausage in the shop, also sold some, but Songhua eggs and salted duck eggs have not been easy to sell, Songhua eggs will not say, almost every family will do, Songhua egg Suyu is priced at ten yuan, people listen to this price, was directly scared away.
This time, the work of the Suyu is much easier, as long as the eggs are picked well, and they go to the house every one or two hours to have a look.
After watching it at home for four or five days, Su Yuji hung up the radishes planted at the back of the house, so he went shopping with his father. The soil on the hillside is very good black soil, the soil is soft and there are not many stone particles, and there is no need to cultivate radishes.
Su Yu grabbed a handful of soil and lifted it, and it was gone as soon as the wind blew. Looking at the weather, it is estimated that there will be no rain this month, and the radish seeds that have been dug and sprinkled have not yet sprouted.
"Girl, what's going on? The seeds were planted, and it didn't rain on this day, so it was not cost-effective to let the villagers carry water and water it, and the radishes sold at that time would not be enough to open the villagers' wages. ”
Su Lao Er didn't say a word, if he really found someone to fetch water, his family would become a joke of the whole village, and radishes would become the price of rice, and it would be a loss to plant it in the end.
Su Yu naturally knew this truth, but in her opinion, it was not a difficult matter.
"Dad, you go and cut a bamboo, let's try it first, I want my arm to be so thick."
After listening to his daughter's words, Su Lao Er went directly to the side and cut a bamboo not far away, and the machete was taken with him when he went up the mountain just now.
"Dad, you break the bamboo in half, half big and half small, you can count the knots on the bamboo. You get it first, and I'll go home and get the knotted hemp rope. ”
Su Lao Er has not dealt with bamboo for a year or two, breaking the bamboo, cleaning up the knots inside, and waiting for Su Yu to run home and get a circle of hemp rope, Su Lao Er has almost done it.
After closing the bamboo, the father and daughter tied the broken bamboo in half with hemp rope, and after making it, Su Lao Er carried it to the river.
"Dad, you put one end of the bamboo into the river, and the other end is exposed, and the side of most of the bamboo is facing the bottom."
Su Lao Er did so, Su Yu stepped forward, covered the bamboo with his palm and covered the exposed end of the bamboo, one loosened and one covered, and repeated this several times, and water flowed out of the bamboo, and Su Lao Er on the side looked at it strangely.
"This ...... Why did this water come out? ”
"I don't understand either, it's a method I saw in a book."
"It's strange that others say that reading more is useful, and such a good method is also written in the book."
Su Yu smiled, this is also to deceive his father, those who read can't deceive.
In Su Yu's view, this is very simple, and it is just a siphon principle, but the ancients did not know.
"Dad, you go to the village to find a few people, look at the length of the bamboo, dig a pit at the end, and then dig up, it is estimated that you will dig seven or eight pits, dig a bigger pit on the top, as long as the water is on the top of the slope, it is much easier to water in other directions, dig a few ditches in the other three directions, dig a few pits in the middle, let the water on the top of the slope flow down from the ditch, and it will not be troublesome to water the ground at that time."
"Cheng, I'll go later."
These are not just for watering the radish, but also for the lemons to be planted in the future, and when the weather is dry, they also need to be watered.
"It's still early, girl, you go home first, I'll go to the village to find someone, this job is not difficult at all, find three or five, and it can be done in half a day."
"Dad, go ahead, you don't have to worry about me, there are two tigers with me."
Su Lao Er was excited, he had been a farmer all his life, and he never thought that this water could go up the mountain by himself, Su Yu had not finished speaking, and Su Lao and the two had already gone away.
When Su Lao Er went to the village to recruit people, the people in the village only thought that Su Lao Er was crazy, could this water still flow backwards to the top of the mountain?
"Second child, didn't I say you, isn't this nonsense? Could it be that the water can still listen to you and go up the mountain by itself? ”
"You just listen to me, this thing will be done, I have already tried, half a day's work, I will pay you twenty yuan each."
The people who were hired by Su Lao Er to work, when they heard that they were going to dig a pit to catch the water uphill, they all shook their heads and didn't do it, not because they didn't want to make money from the Su family, but because they felt that the money was a bit unconscionable, and if they spent their efforts on the Su family, they would be embarrassed to accept the money. But now when I heard about the work of half a day, one person gave twenty yuan, and several people couldn't help but be moved again. What's in his mind, Su Lao Er wants to toss around, let him toss blindly, they just have to get the salary, and under the swaying of a few people, in the end, they still can't carry twenty yuan and half a day's salary.
"Then we can say okay, whether it works out or not, you have to pay for it."
"Cheng, when did I rely on your wages, I said as much as I wanted."
Several people followed Su Lao Er to the bottom of the hillside, and Su Lao Er compared the distance, let them dig a pit by themselves, and cut bamboo by themselves.
Looking at Su Er's excitement, several people thought that Su Lao Er was crazy, and they had never seen water flow backwards by itself.
The above siphon method is from Baidu, I changed it slightly, but I didn't write it scribble.
