Chapter 184: Initial Construction
After that day, Xie Mingchi ran to the Hua family's courtyard all day long, and he didn't fall for a day......
Therefore, Xie Mingchi also knew that Hua Shi was digging a fish pond recently, and Xie Mingchi was full of interest in building a fish pond, and happily ran over to help every day.
Xiao Banyue's hard work, because of Xie Mingchi's big helper, the weeds around the fish pond were quickly cleaned up, and even beyond the expectations of the flowers, even the excess stones and soil in the pond were cleaned up.
The fish pond is dug up, and how to release water into the fish pond is another big problem......
This is why the villagers' fields are near the water's edge, and it is convenient to carry water if they want to put water into the fields and water the ground......
Just after noon, after lunch, the group ran to the backyard again.
Hua Li stuck in his waist, looking at the place half a month ago, which was still overgrown with weeds and thorns, suddenly became what he saw now, clean and tidy fish ponds, and a spontaneous sense of satisfaction filled his heart.
But he hasn't forgotten one thing that everyone has been talking about in the past two days, this is that the fish pond has been cleaned up, and the water hasn't figured out how to get it in......
Hua Li couldn't help but turn his head to look at Hua who was standing on the side, and asked out loud: "It's done now, but how to put the water in the fish pond, you haven't told us yet?" ”
Hua Xiao also followed the sideways gaze and looked at Hua Shi curiously.
"yes, you said the other day that there's a way to easily get water to flow into a pond on its own? What's that way of doing that? ”
Hua Xiao couldn't hold back and asked out loud.
Hua Li hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes." ”
Hua Shi said: "Don't worry, when Xie Mingchi comes back with his things in a while, you will know." ”
Hua Shi's words made Hua Xiao and Hua Li even more curious......
At this time, Hua Yu suddenly came from the bamboo forest behind him, holding a large roll of bamboo in his hand, and walked over with staggering steps.
Hua Shi heard the voice, looked back, and said, "Okay, don't be stunned, help take the bamboo that has been cut down over there and cut in half, and bring it to this side, and start construction." ”
Hua Xiao and Hua Li listened, and they were at a loss again.
I don't know what to do when I spend flowers, and what I want so many pieces of bamboo for......
The flower time is to build a pipe from the front yard to the back yard, and lead the water from the well to the fish pond in the backyard.
It stands to reason that the water in the well is not suitable for raising fish, and she also experimented with it, and if the small fry caught back were directly raised in the well water for two or three days, they would be raised to death.
If this is the case, the idea of raising fish will not come to mind from the beginning, a backyard is too remote, the back is against the mountain, the pond is dry, and it is overgrown with weeds, no matter how you think about it, it is not convenient to use this place to raise fish.
However, she holds a handful of springs in her hand, and only the water in the spring is mixed with the well water, even if the water quality is not suitable, it can make the fish jump alive, and there is no need to worry about the fish being raised to death......
Once the idea of flowering comes up, it can't be contained.
Soon, Xie Mingchi took her half a month ago, drew a drawing, and asked the blacksmith to make a water pump head, Xie Mingchi's father was a carpenter, and when he spent it, he asked Xie Mingchi to take it home again, and asked his father to match the handle of the water pump head and install it.
A simple hand-cranked water pump is so novel......
At first, Xie Mingchi didn't know what the "things" Hua Shi told him to do were until the two of them worked together to install the hand-cranked water pump on the edge of the wellhead.
With just a slight shake, the water flowed up from the bottom of the well by itself, Xie Mingchi's round eyes stared at the old man with novel and unbelievable eyes.
In the end, the gaze that fell on Hua Shi's body seemed to be a little hotter......
In the yard, Hua Li stood barefoot by the well, gently shaking the newly installed pump with one hand, excited and curious, and asked with a smile:
"Haha...... What is this? It's fun! How did the water run up on its own, it's amazing. ”
With the movement of Hua Li's hand-cranked water pump, the water flowed out, from the sharp mouth above, and smashed on the ground, making a gurgling sound of water.
He was so happy watching the flowers that his trouser legs were wet with water, but he didn't notice it at all......
looked at Hua Xiao on the side again, padding his feet, blinking his bright eyes, and seemed to want to run up and play together.
It's just that her personality is shyer than Hua Li, and when there are outsiders, she is embarrassed to show her true temperament, so she can't help but come up and mess around with Hua Li.
Even on weekdays, except for eating and sleeping, Xiaohuaying, who is not interested in other things, looks at the wellhead of the hand-cranked water, and stares at the very curious eyes, towards this side, staring for a moment.
Hua Shi looked at these guys with different expressions, and at a glance, he almost understood the thoughts in the hearts of several people, and shook his head helplessly.
It's nothing, the freshness comes up, and it's normal to be curious, but if you come to the wellhead to play with water because of this, it won't be good......
Xie Mingchi, who had not spoken, suddenly sighed in a low voice: "This thing is so convenient, if everyone loads this thing, it will be much more convenient, and you won't have to use a wooden bucket and rope to fetch water in the future, Ah Shi, you are so smart, you can even think of this method." ”
Hua Shi was a little embarrassed to be praised and coughed lightly.
This is not what she came up with, she is not a person from this world, the world she lived in before has been completely modernized, at that time science and technology were developed, like this kind of hand-cranked hand pump, many rural places do not need it, but replaced it with that kind of electric pump, I don't know how many times more convenient than this......
These words couldn't be said for a while, and they couldn't explain clearly, so they acquiesced to what Xie Mingchi said, and said instead: "If you also want to install one in your own home, I can give you the drawings you drawn, and you can also find a blacksmith to make one, and then install it in your own well......"
After that, a few people in the small courtyard of the Hua family began to get busy again, and the hand-cranked water pump was available, and now the water was to be released to the fish pond in the backyard, and only the bamboo pipe needed to be set up......
At that time, all you need is a hand-cranked pump standing at the well, and the water will flow down the bamboo pipe and stay in the fish pond.
This method is actually not the best, it can't be fully automated, but there is no way, the current conditions are limited, and her own ability is limited, so she can think of it and do it like this.
However, this is far more primitive than the previous methods, if it were not for this, then only buckets of water would have to be transported to the backyard......
