Chapter 330 Don’t Be Afraid of Hardship and Fatigue, Be Afraid of No Work

The sound interrupted Bi Gou's thoughts, and the drillers were cheering.

The person who just came down to drink soup is so depressed. If he had only known that he could work a little longer and get out of the water, he would be happy.

"How do you know there is water?" Bi Gou didn't understand.

"That's right, there is always soil below, and the weight on it is pressing on it. After rotating it, use the edge of a round-edged file to grind the soil or stone. If the bottom suddenly becomes empty..."

The banker said it in one sentence.

"The one on top will fall off all of a sudden, and then be stuck by the one on the bottom." Bi Gou continued, understanding.

There is either water or empty space down there, but there is a high possibility of water.

Start to loosen the buckle there. After loosening it, lift up the pole and round-edged file below. Use a hand hoist to help. If you can't lift it, put on the small buckle and rotate it while lifting.

Lift up a section of connecting rod, remove it, and continue to lift the lower connecting rod.

The speed was not fast, but everyone had smiles on their faces.

In more than half an hour, because the depth was not very deep, the entire pole was collected.

Look at the section below. Judging from the degree of moisture, it is certain that there is water.

Take the prepared bamboo pipe and go down it step by step. This process is very slow.

If you encounter a collapsed area below, you need to clean it up again.

"Tomorrow morning, everyone will be able to drink cool water from the well. The well is not deep, just over three feet. The soil is still soft, and water gathers in this part of the mountain."

The banker happily said that they were ready to drill for more than ten or twenty days and to drill down to a depth of more than ten feet.

As a result, the water came out in less than a day and caught up with Chang'an. The water layer was shallow.

Bi Gou didn't think it was easy after hearing this. A well more than three feet long could not be dug out in half a month without using this method. Instead, it was dug manually.

"How do you dig when there is a rock underneath?" Bi Hua imagined the ground that was more difficult to dig.

"The top of the stone scrap file must be weighted, and the push bars on the shelf must be extended and increased in number, so that multiple people can push and turn them together."

The banker said thankfully that he was lucky, saved worry and money.

With so many people, not to mention wages, there is a lot of food money.

The deeper it gets, the slower it gets. When you encounter the stone layer, it takes longer and doubles the labor cost, which is considered a small amount.

Everyone laughed and laughed, but the people who came to dig the well stopped laughing.

Once the well is drilled and there is water, will I no longer have this job?

When the farmer saw this, he looked at his words and suddenly shouted: "Don't even think about resting. I will carry a lantern and dig a water diversion channel for me, as well as a pond to collect water."

When he heard that there was still work to do, the smile returned to the employee's face.

Bi Gou shook his head and turned back to sleep.

When the aroma of boxes stuffed with garlic and eggs spreads through the forest, the sun also peeks out.

Li Yi was still sleeping, and Bi Gou, who was older, got up, cleaned up and went to see the well.

The pressure well was assembled in the middle of the night, and people are now taking turns to pressurize the water.

The men digging the ditches dug with picks and shovels, joking among themselves or singing little tunes.

According to the farmer, you can work for half a month, and when you finish this work, you can start harvesting wheat.

"Give me a try." Bi Gou saw others pressing him and thought it was funny, so he stepped forward to take it and give it a try.

When you press it down, the water is sucked up and flows out along the pipe.

"Sure enough, it saves more effort than using a bucket. Put the bucket in front and press it a few times to avoid danger around the well."

Bi Gou quickly discovered the benefits of pressure wells, which are fast and safe.

The people who came with him finally had a chance to come forward and said: "Proprietor, my family used to be from Shu. If the salt brine well there is dug like this and pressed with this thing, we can make a lot of money."

"It's not our turn. People are wondering where to use their mouths to make money?" Bi Gou didn't think about it at all.

"How useful can he be to Zhuangzi alone? There are many wealthy families here, as well as the Ministry of Household Affairs."

The boy told the fact that Li Yi would be bullied under normal circumstances.

"If he didn't know how to act, he would have been swallowed up to the point where no bones were left, but now he is being protected by Yu Lin Feiqi." Bi Gou reminded.

He discovered that the young man was about the same age as Li Yi, so why was the gap so big.

Li Yi would never say the same thing because he had already seen it clearly.

After a few more presses, Bi Gou washed his hands, wiped them on his body, and went back to call Li Yi.

Li Yi is about the age of a high school student, has a long body, sleeps for a long time, and is sleepy.

After being woken up by Bi Gou, I went to the toilet, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and sniffed: "Okay, let's eat a box this morning."

"What is it?" When Bi Gou sat down at the table, he saw a box of small garlic bulbs, made by frying.

"Two pieces of noodles, put stuffing in the middle, and then pinch them around. The two separate pieces of noodles are generally shaped into a round shape, and the two connected pieces are shaped like a crescent."

Let me explain the box "invented" by Li Yi.

"Can't we just wrap it?" Bi couldn't figure out why two pieces of dough were needed, one was wrapped and then pressed to turn into a round cake.

"Look at the pleats around the box. Does it look round like the sun? Does the crescent look like the moon?" Li Yi didn't know either. He made it up.

"The round thing can also be the moon." Bi Gou found fault.

"Lao Bi, you are right. When the moon is full, the boxes are round, and when the moon is half moon, the boxes are half. If there is no moon, don't eat the box. It's a sign of homesickness."

Li Yi follows the good and the good, whatever you say is what he wants.

In fact, he thought it was free, so why did he have to squeeze two people into a box? The technical requirements are high, just like making a steamed bun with eighteen pleats.

Why should clothes be embroidered? They are beautiful and appear ingenious.

Of course, it is this Chinese mentality that makes Chinese food famous all over the world. UU Readingｗww.ｕukanshu.net

Bi Zhizai thought for a while: "It makes sense. I didn't expect that this small root of garlic tastes like this, so it is not very spicy."

“The farmer told me that some more children came yesterday afternoon, and it was agreed that only children over ten years old could come to pick mulberries.

As a result, the dolls that looked six or seven years old, especially the female dolls, couldn't tell they were ten years old.

The farmer asked them to use a small, blunt-edged knife to dig out small roots of garlic, and gave them wages and food. "

Li Yi talked about the situation.

"Didn't I tell you?" Bi Gou suddenly asked.

"I told you when I was washing up." Li Yi picked up a small piece of raw garlic.

This is washed, salted and eaten as pickles. It also has the spiciness of small root garlic and a little earthy smell.

Bi Gou shook his head: "It is not good for the banker to make the decision privately."

"Lao Bi, do you want to send a document to Chang'an before doing anything in Henan? Wait until His Majesty agrees?"

Li Yi asked a question.

"How can it be the same? I... I... I ask you, are there many locusts when harvesting wheat?" Bi Gou looked serious.

"Lao Bi, this is a big shift for you. The loss during the summer harvest is not big, but the weather starts to get cold during the autumn harvest. Normally, the harvest is 30% to 40% less than in previous years.

Then many locust eggs have been laid. By next year, not a pound of wheat in the entire east of the Taihang Mountains can be provided to Chang'an. "

Li Yi explained the general situation he learned.

"A natural disaster." Bi Gou closed his eyes.

"Farewell, Lao Bi, God can do evil, especially if it's done by God. What you fear the most is man-made disasters. Do not do it by yourself." Li Yicai didn't admit any natural disasters.

This year's disaster relief in the Henan Prefecture is unfavorable, and you, Lao Bi, are responsible for it.
