Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family
Chapter 250 It’s done
The water wheel of the waterwheel rotates slowly with the water flow, and the bamboo water buckets in front of the baffle are immersed in the river water one by one. After being filled with water, they slowly rise up with the rotation of the water wheel.
Zheng Xiaoman and Carpenter Li were all staring at the water in the bucket nervously. When the bucket rose to the middle, the water inside began to flow out slightly.
However, not much water flowed out. When the water basin reached the highest point, most of the river water left in it poured into the sink.
After the river water poured into the trough, it flowed down along the trough and into the wooden barrel placed below.
The sound of running water startled everyone, and Carpenter Li and Carpenter Wang jumped up excitedly.
"It worked. It worked. It really worked."
Looking at the river water flowing in the trough and the increasing amount of water in the bucket, everyone understood what this big thing was used for.
The village chief also patted Zheng Dashan on the shoulder excitedly, "Hahahaha, good, good, Dashan, that's great."
He was so happy that he was a little incoherent. He didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood. He could only keep saying good.
Zheng Xiaoman was also very happy. She didn't expect that she would succeed in one try.
Although the angle of the water bucket still needs to be adjusted, these are minor issues.
She was calmer than the others. She went to find Carpenter Li and his partner to discuss how to adjust the water bucket.
Carpenter Li and Carpenter Wang took off their shoes and went into the river, adjusting the angle of the water bucket one by one.
While they were busy here, the villagers surrounded the village chief and Zheng Dashan.
"Village chief, what is this waterwheel? Is it for us to fetch water?"
"Village chief, this thing is still a little small. The water is not enough for us old people."
"village head..."
"Village Chief, I..."
Wang Dehai was dizzy from the chattering. "Alright, alright, all of you guys speak up. With so many people chattering at the same time, who should I listen to?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and then waited for the village chief to speak.
Wang Dehai said: "This thing is called a waterwheel, and you all have seen what it is used for. This is just a trial run. We have to make it before we can continue. Why are you all so anxious?"
"Hey, village chief, aren't we tired of carrying water to irrigate the fields every day? If this thing can bring water from the river, wouldn't we save a lot of energy?"
"Haha, isn't it? Look at my shoulders, village chief. They are worn out from carrying water every day."
Seeing that everyone was starting to make a mess again, Wang Dehai was too lazy to talk to them anymore.
He pushed aside the people blocking his way and walked to the river to watch two carpenters adjusting the water bucket.
"Xiao Man, how long will it take to make a few more big water wheels?"
Zheng Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "We have already done this successfully, and it will be much easier to do it next time. But if we only rely on two carpenters, it probably won't be done very quickly.
As you can see, this thing may not look like much, but there are still many details to pay attention to. "
Wang Dehai nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand. Let's see if this will work. There are many people in our village who are skilled in carpentry. They have nothing to do during the day, so I will ask them to help the two carpenters.
The sooner we use this waterwheel, the more harvest we can save from this land."
"I understand, village chief, but I still have to ask Carpenter Li and the others for the specifics."
"Okay, I know. I'll go to your house later to talk about this."
Seeing that there was nothing else for Zheng Xiaoman to do here, she went home first.
The sun rose in the sky, making her skin feel hot.
Later in the evening, the village chief came to the house with several carpenters in the village. They discussed with Carpenter Li and his colleagues how to build the waterwheel as quickly as possible.
In the next few days, the back of the workshop was filled with clanging sounds.
This sound lasts from early morning to late night every day. I really wish it could work 24 hours a day.
Finally, five days later, an extra-large waterwheel that was three or four times larger than the previous one was made.
When Zheng Xiaoman looked at the gigantic waterwheel, he was really shocked.
The craftsmanship of the ancients really cannot be underestimated.
When the Big Mac was carried into the river by everyone, almost all the men, women and children in the village gathered by the river.
Even Mr. Fang stopped teaching and brought his students to the river.
He noticed it as early as when the first waterwheel appeared, and he came to study it personally.
It was not until today that I saw this large waterwheel that was more than ten meters high, which lifted buckets of water from the river and poured them into the trough, which then flowed into the fields.
His heart, which had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but start beating wildly.
Everyone in the village cheered as they watched the streams of water flow into the fields.
"Oh, finally we don't have to work so hard to fetch water for irrigation anymore."
"Hurry up, dig all the ditches in the field so that the water can flow into it."
Everyone ran back home with hoes, dug through all the ridges in the fields, and then watched in sweat as the water flowed from one end to the other.
"Hahaha, cool, it feels so good."
The dolls also ran and cheered, "Oh oh, the water is flowing, the water is flowing."
The noise here was so loud that it soon attracted people from neighboring villages.
When people from other villages saw this big guy in Wangjia Village, they were also shocked.
"Oh my, look, how come the water is flowing into the ground by itself?"
"Really? Oh my god, what's going on? What the hell is that thing? How can it bring water into the ground like this?"
Many people came to talk to the people from Wangjia Village, wanting to ask what this thing was.
Their village is next to the Qing River. If they could build one in their village, wouldn't they have to fetch water to irrigate the fields every day?
But the villagers only know that this thing is called a waterwheel, and they don’t understand how it pumps water.
In the end, there was no choice but for those people from other villages to go back and talk to the village chief about this matter.
When the chief of the village next to the river heard that Wangjia Village had quietly produced such a good thing, he hurried over with the villagers.
Seeing these people coming, the people in Wangjia Village raised their chins proudly.
Look, look, this is a unique good thing in our Wangjia Village, you can be envious.
The head of Lijia Village approached Wang Dehai and said, "Brother, where did you get this?"
Wang Dehai smiled and squinted his eyes, "Where did you get it? Go get one and let me see it!"
Seeing his behavior, Village Chief Li rolled his eyes and said, "I'm talking to you. If I want to know something, why would I come to ask you?"
Wang Dehai chuckled, "Look, you come to ask me a question, and you have a worse temper than me."
