Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Bai Taotao: "Foreman Cao, if you have this idea, I will naturally teach you the method. Digging this well is not only convenient for water use, but if the well is dug well, you don't have to worry about drinking water even if it doesn't rain for a year and a half." question."

When Foreman Cao heard this, he looked surprised: "Is there such a good thing?"

Bai Taotao: "Well, I'm just going to arrange for the villagers to go to the county to dig an underground water well in my parents' yard in the past few days. Then Foreman Cao can go there and learn about it. I asked them to teach them some precautions for digging a well and what to do. Talk to Foreman Cao about every step, and I will give you a set of well digging tools that you can use when building the house for the master."

As soon as Bai Taotao said this, Foreman Cao was very happy: "Okay, okay, okay."

Since these are all here to build her house, Bai Taotao naturally doesn't hesitate to promise a set of tools.

Let them learn the technique of digging wells, which can be regarded as a good way to publicize this method of digging wells to collect water.

After saying this, the craftsmen began to build a house on Baitaotao's side in the afternoon.

However, because she is planning to build a large house this time, with three entrances and three exits, the previous foundation can no longer be used, and the foundation needs to be dug again.

Planning is required before digging the foundation, and before planning, the collapsed adobe and bricks on the homestead need to be cleared away.

The adobe can no longer be used, not to mention that this time Baitaotao is building a blue brick house, but the tiles can be reused, and the intact tiles can be packed away and put aside for later use.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about these live Bai Taotao. The king of Zhennan arranged for them to be invited. Not only does she not need to worry about it, she also does not need to spend money. The only thing is to take care of their food and accommodation. The rest is to wait for the house to be built. Okay, that's it for acceptance.

Work on the house on Bai Taotao's side has already begun, and the villagers' houses also started moving that afternoon.

They should hurry up and build the house. When the weather warms up, they can go up to the mountains to look for wild vegetables. Then it will be a good time to make a lot of money.

The villagers who suffered this time have a subsidy of 5 taels of silver from Baitaotao, plus some subsidies from the above, and the help of the villagers, it will be easier to revive their homes.

Of course, if you don't have enough money, you can also ask Baitaotao to write an IOU, and it will be deducted directly from their salary. You don't have to pay back half a tael of silver every month.

In this way, the villagers don't have to worry about the little money they have in their hands.

Before, Bai Taotao lived alone and built a small house, so she spent less money. But they are a large family, and building an adobe house would cost about twenty to thirty taels. This is Just build the house and you will be back to before liberation.

It takes about ten days and a half to build a house. By then, all kinds of spring wild vegetables will have started to grow, so the time is just right.

The craftsman team and the villagers are busy building houses.

Baitaotao formed a well-digging team with the villagers who had dug a well for her before, and then went to the county to dig a well for her parents' yard in the county. Some villagers were working in the workshop temporarily. Just put down the work in the workshop and dig the well first, and then continue back to the workshop.

When the well-digging team first started digging wells, although it aroused curiosity from the neighbors, it was also the first time that everyone had seen someone digging a well underground to get water. Although they were curious, they didn't pay much attention to it, and they didn't even think about going underground. Water can also be dug out. Therefore, the big guys came over to watch on the first day of work.

It was not until a few days later that a steady stream of water was discharged from the Bai family's yard. After seeing it, the neighbors came to watch the excitement again.

"Hey, this water is really dug out from the ground?" The first person to come to join in the fun was the Qian family next door to the Bai family, Mrs. Qian.

Also coming with her was Old Mrs. Fang from the front room of the Bai family. Old Mrs. Fang looked at the drained water and frowned a little and said, "But this water looks like this and that, you can't drink it. It's all muddy." mud."

The leader of the well digging team this time was Chen Youjin, Aunt Ge's son. Chen Youjin laughed when he heard this and said: "Old lady, because the water has just been dug out of the ground, and there are workers working below, the water will naturally become muddy. When the well is drained, the water will be muddy." After digging and processing, drain the muddy water, and the water that comes out will be clean and clear well water.”

"The well water dug out of the ground is ice cold in summer, but warm in winter, and it is much cleaner and better to drink than river water."

Hearing what Chen Youjin said, Mrs. Fang still had some doubts: "It's true or false, don't be deceptive."

Foreman Cao, who had been studying next to him, replied: "Old lady, this is true. I have seen it. Have you heard about General Chen who came out of Shihe Village? Then General Chen's family dug a well like this. It was said that it was dug during the drought last year. Our craftsmen are now building a large house for General Chen’s family. We drink the water every day. It is sweet and the water is still steaming in winter. "

Zhao Laosan also smiled and said: "If you don't believe what we say, this is a famous craftsman team from Fucheng hired by the shopkeeper Qin of Yuelai Restaurant under the command of the King of Zhennan to build a house for General Chen's family. You should believe what Foreman Cao said. Bar."

When several people said this, Mrs. Fang still didn't believe it, so she quickly asked: "How much money did you get to dig a well like this?"

Mrs. Qian nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, how much money does it cost to dig this well? If it's cost-effective, I also want to dig one in my yard, so that my old arms and legs can save money every time." You have to pick the water yourself.”

"This..." the two old ladies asked suddenly, and Chen Youjin was also suddenly asked, because this was digging a well for his family, and they were paid by the workshop. How much money did it cost to dig the well? I really don’t know.

After thinking about it, Chen Youjin hurriedly said: "This well was dug for Mrs. Chen's natal family, and we were called over by her team. We have to ask Mrs. Chen to know the specific amount of money."

Old Mrs. Qian: "Ah, then you are digging for your own family, doesn't that mean you can't dig for us?"

Foreman Cao smiled and said: "It's definitely possible to dig, but they have to ask Mrs. Chen to know the specific amount of money."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Bai Taotao calculated that the well should be able to produce water, so he planned to come over and take a look today.

When Chen Youjin saw Bai Taotao, he immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Chen is here. The two old ladies can talk to Mrs. Chen."

When Bai Taotao heard this, she asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Chen Youjin explained: "Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Fang wanted to know how much money it would cost to dig a well in the yard. If it was cost-effective, they would also like to dig it." (End of Chapter)
