After the locust disaster, my fairy reincarnation identity was exposed
Chapter 55 Drilling a Well
Xiang Ci's family dug a deep well alone, and the other two families also dug deep wells alone to accumulate wealth. For the others, the villagers pooled their money to dig deep wells.
A total of four deep wells were collected, and they were located at the head of the left village, the end of the village on the left, the head of the right village, and the end of the village on the right.
Xiangjia Village originally had two shallow wells, one at the top of the village and one at the village ancestral hall, near the bottom of the village.
Furthermore, Xiang Ci's family has a shallow well, and there is another shallow well that belongs to Xiang's family. This time, it was his family who dug the deep well.
After everything was settled, a few days later, the well-drilling team was ready and came to the village, which was warmly welcomed by the whole village.
The well digging team is a man from Baijia Village in Twelve Villages. He is in his forties and everyone respects him as "Boss Bai".
But Boss Bai is completely opposite to his name. He looks gentle and elegant.
If he were to wear a long robe and hold a book in his hand, he would be considered a master and have nothing to do with being a well digger.
Xiang Ci has never seen a well-drilling team, because ever since she became governor, tap water has been used, and water wells are rarely used, so how could she have seen a well-drilling team.
When she saw the well-drilling team this time, she got into the crowd, with her bright eyes open, curious. When she saw Boss Bai, what she was thinking was that this man was more convincing as a master than as a well-dwelling man.
I don’t know if he has ever taken the Tongsheng exam before?
Mr. Xiang looked at the guys brought by Mr. Bai and frowned: "Are these tubes enough?"
The well-drilling team is a laborious and technical job, but it is very profitable, so the people who feed them are very important.
Furthermore, the occupation of well digging is their entire Baijia Village’s job.
If someone wants to dig a well, their Bai family village will take Boss Bai as the leader to negotiate and then lead the villagers to dig a well. However, they have become familiar with these twelve villages and the villages in other mountains.
No one was digging wells, so they farmed in the village and went hunting in the mountains to supplement their family income. They were not rich, but they had enough food and clothing, which was quite satisfying.
Hearing Mr. Xiang's words at this time, he smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, the pipes are enough, they are all iron, and they have been registered with the government, there is no problem."
Mr. Xiang looked at these tubes. He was a layman, so he didn't say much: "That's okay."
When the well-drilling team shoveled the first soil, Mr. Xiang struck a gong, which meant a good omen and everything would go smoothly.
People who had never seen well drilling gathered around to watch. Xiang Ci saw the men on the well drilling team waving big wooden hammers and shouting hey, hey, hey, and felt that they were working really hard.
But think about the farmers who farm, they also work hard. Who doesn’t work hard in life?
Anyone from all walks of life who doesn’t work hard has nothing to say.
Xiang Ci watched it for about two-quarters of an hour and found it extremely boring. It was just a few movements back and forth. It was really not good at all, so she went back.
After arriving home, I went to the backyard and saw Mrs. Cui picking vegetables: "Mom, why did you pick all the vegetables?"
"This vegetable will get old if you don't pick it." Mrs. Cui put the green vegetables in the big bamboo basket and continued to pick vegetables. "I just discussed with you that these vegetables grow too fast. Let's try planting vegetables in other seasons. Let's see. Let’s see if it works.”
"If you can, then grow other vegetables so you don't have to eat just one vegetable."
Xiang Ci doesn't know all the varieties of vegetables. She doesn't know what vegetables to grow in four seasons, and she doesn't know how old the vegetables are.
Although she is nineteen years old in modern times, she has been in various interest classes since she was in kindergarten. Not to mention that she is not familiar with farm work, she is also not familiar with housework. .
She touched her nose awkwardly and helped pick vegetables together: "Did grandma say what vegetables to plant?"
"I'll try planting radishes, winter melons and pumpkins first. I don't know if they will mature?" Ms. Cui continued to pick vegetables.
Xiang Ci was startled for a moment, and she was so guilty that she didn't dare to ask out loud, are radish, winter melon and eggplant a seasonal dish?
She didn't dare to ask, because she was afraid that after asking, Mrs. Cui would find out that she was not the real Xiaoci, which would be terrible.
Xiang Ci doesn't know about vegetables in different seasons, and no matter how much she grows, she won't be full. But she knows that potatoes and sweet potatoes have high yields and can be eaten as staple food.
But, since she came here, she hasn't seen potatoes or sweet potatoes?
Could it be said that in this imaginary era, there are no potatoes and sweet potatoes?
Xiang Ci hesitated for a long time, but finally said carefully: "Mom, can't we grow potatoes or sweet potatoes?"
Planting these two things must be better than growing radishes.
Cui, who had her back turned to Xiang Ci, stopped picking vegetables, just like Xiang Ci who was holding his breath.
Xiang Ci screamed in her heart: It's over, it's over, I shouldn't have asked just now, my secret has been exposed, what reason should I use to convince her?
Ms. Cui slowly turned around and looked at Xiang Ci, with resentment in her eyes: "I told you not to spoil you, but to make you work in the fields. Now it's better, and you can't recognize anything planted in my own fields."
Xiang Ci's eyes twitched and she felt a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Cui say again: "Even if you don't farm, you still have to recognize what vegetables look like, right? You collect firewood every day, but you don't take a good look at what is grown in your own land?"
Xiang Ci: "..."
She knew cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, greens, eggplants, radishes, winter melons, pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., of course, from the wet market.
This is not sold on the shelf, it is grown in the ground. She knows a ghost. She only knows her own legs.
Xiang Ci didn't dare to ask anymore, for fear that if he continued to ask, the truth would be revealed.
Mrs. Cui was nagging her, meaning that next time she went to work in the fields, she should not be pampered and not allowed to work just because she was the youngest daughter in the family. As a result, she would not be able to distinguish between the grains.
Xiang Ci blushed with embarrassment and listened carefully to the instruction without saying a word. She really should know what the dishes looked like: "Mom, I'm going to bring some water to my eldest brother and the others. It's very hot today."
Moyin finally stopped: "Okay, let's go take a look and get acquainted with it."
Xiang Ci, who was guessed to be the centerpiece, rushed into the kitchen with a blushing face and started busy work. Then he carried the pottery pot mixed with spiritual spring water and headed to his field.
Although she has never farmed, she still knows where her own land is. If she doesn't know anymore, she can go back to modern times.
Walking along the field path and looking at the crops in the field, Xiang Ci was completely blind.
Although the leaves looked different, as long as there was no real thing hanging on them, she had no idea what kind of vegetable leaves they were, let alone if the real thing was underground.
Walking all the way, you can see bulging graves in the ground, but Xiang Ci is not afraid. He has encountered them in the countryside before. He didn't understand them at first, but after he understood them, he had nothing to be afraid of.
Many people in the village went to see the wells being dug, but there were also many people weeding in the fields and doing other things. Forgive Xiang Ci for not understanding what they were doing.
"Cuck!"
A frog jumped on Xiang Ci's instep. The soft and moving touch made her jump subconsciously. After seeing clearly that it was a frog, she chased after the frog to catch it.
