Uncle Li smiled mysteriously, then pulled the rope in front of everyone. A huge sound of water flowing came from the squat toilet, flushing the empty pit vigorously.

Everyone's eyes lit up. This design was so good. After they were done with it, they just pulled it and the pool would be clean.

"Okay, okay, this is a great idea."

"I didn't expect that the outhouse in this rural area would be cleaner than my home."

"Old man, is the room with the word 'woman' written on the wall next to it a toilet for women?"

Uncle Li nodded and said, "That's right. Considering that some young masters need to bring maids and cooks to serve them, it's inconvenient for men and women to share, so they built them separately."

"Not bad."

"Let's go check out the kitchen. I heard there's a bathroom there?"

Uncle Li led people to continue the tour. These young masters didn't care about the kitchen. They didn't cook anyway. They just took a casual glance and left.

They were more interested in the bathroom. They didn't expect that this country place was so thoughtful and that the farmhouse actually had a dedicated bathroom.

They were stunned when they saw the tiled floors and walls, and the faucet shower.

This, this, this...isn't this too convenient?

There is no need for a large bathtub or to boil water or scoop water; the sewage just flows out through the small hole in the ground.

What amazed them the most was the faucet switch, such a small thing. When you turned the pipe above your head, water would flow out, and when you turned it again, the water would stop.

"Okay, okay... I want to live here."

"I will stay here for a month first. Can you calculate how much money it will cost?"

Uncle Li bowed and nodded cheerfully: "Young Master, you can pay the deposit first, and after you have visited the library and decide to stay in the village, you can pay the rest of the money."

"In case the guests are not satisfied after visiting the library and do not want to stay in the village, they will come to return the money. Some may even delay for ten days or half a month to return the money, but I will keep the room and not rent it to other guests. The money will definitely not be returned."

"But guests feel that they would lose out if they don't stay even for a day, so they pay a deposit to avoid this kind of hassle."

"As long as you reserve this room, I can reserve it for one day. If you don't pay the remaining money after one day, it will be considered as giving up, and the deposit will not be refunded."

"The deposit of 200 Wen is non-refundable!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, then I will pay the deposit first."

The others also paid a deposit, just two hundred coins, not much.

If you don’t want to return it, then don’t return it. It doesn’t matter.

Uncle Li happily accepted the deposit, and then took a few people straight to the food street and commercial street.

His wife sells roujiamo and stinky tofu in the commercial street, so naturally he wants to bring customers there to make more money.

When he was about to leave, a young man pointed at the pool by the wall and asked, "What is that, old man?"

"The tap water pool."

"Now every household has running water, and using water is very convenient."

As the old man spoke, he walked to the sink with a proud look on his face, turned on the faucet, and a large stream of water flowed out.

There is no need to dig a well or carry water, let alone draw water from the river. When you want water, you just turn the switch and there will be water. It is really convenient, much more convenient than using water at home.

These young men thought they were from well-off families, so they each had a well at home. When they needed water, they did not have to go to the public well in town to fetch water, as they could use it at home.

But you still have to fetch water from the water tank every day and scoop it out one ladle at a time. Moreover, the dirty water and sewage cannot be directly flushed away, but must be brought to the door and poured out.

I didn’t expect that the tap water here is more convenient than their own water. It’s really enviable.

Some people even wondered: "Uncle, is this tap water made by your family?"

"Can you make one for my house too? I'll pay for it."

Uncle Li smiled and shook his head, and it was not difficult to see the pride and pride on his face.

"I don't have that ability."

"This water tank is not something that can be built casually. I am not bragging, except for our Hegou Village, it cannot be built anywhere else."

"It's not as simple as plugging a pipe and building a pool. It requires water pressure, water pumps and drainage pipes. It's a huge project to build a complete drainage system."

"The houses in our village were built over three or four years, and this drainage system was designed when the houses were first built. Digging canals, laying pipes, paving the ground, and building roads are all major projects for the entire village, and it is not something that can be done by individual households."

The more Uncle Li spoke, the more pleased and proud he became, and he even had a faint sense of superiority.

Whatever city people have, isn’t it still better than what people in the countryside have?

Everyone felt a little jealous when they saw Uncle Li's proud look.

The country folk here seemed different from what they imagined; they seemed to know a lot.

There is no inferiority complex that ordinary farmers have when they see city people.

This village is not simple! !

"Old man, do you mean that every household in the village has this kind of running water pool?"

"That's natural."

Someone next to him urged, "Let's go, let's go see if there's anything delicious outside. We're already hungry."

They were not interested in the pool. Anyway, the maids and old women were responsible for fetching water at home, and they did not have to fetch water themselves, so it did not matter whether there was running water or not.

Hearing Fatty Wang's urging, everyone felt hungry.

Uncle Li naturally happily took them to the food street.

At this time, the food street was already crowded with people, and there were queues in front of many stalls.

After all, they had already wasted a lot of time looking at houses just now, and the people who came in later went straight to the food street, so they naturally fell behind.

"smell good."

"What are these? Why have I never seen them before?"

"What are those things in a bunch? They are so greasy and delicious looking."

Uncle Li introduced cheerfully, "Those are fried skewers. They are made of various meats, eggs and vegetables, coated in a crispy batter and deep-fried, and then smeared with a secret sauce that is fresh, fragrant and spicy. They are so delicious that you will almost swallow your tongue."

"That's Roujiamo. First, stew the lean and fatty pork belly until it's soft and boneless, then chop it up and put it in a crispy and fragrant sesame pancake. Finally, pour a spoonful of the meaty stew over it. Oh, it's so delicious."

"I can eat six in one sitting."

"Eight cents a piece, delicious and inexpensive."

"The black tofu in the oil pan next to it smells bad but tastes delicious. It is the special delicacy of our village, stinky tofu."

As Uncle Li introduced the dishes one by one, the young men drooled with envy.

The servants and page boys nearby, who were used to reading people's expressions, had already lined up in front of the various stalls.

Fatty Wang ordered his servant, "Sixth son, buy me ten roujiamo."

"Brother Li, buy some more of your fried skewers so we can eat them alternately later."

"Got it."

"Brother Chen, bring me a portion of that fried chicken."

"Understand!"

After Fatty Wang finished giving his instructions, he began to keep his eyes and ears open. He had to find a booth where he could sit down and occupy a table.

Otherwise, it would be unpleasant if you bought snacks but had no place to eat them.

He didn't want to eat while walking. After all, fried skewers and pancakes were fine, but he couldn't slurp those mutton soup noodles while walking.
