Transformed into a mother of four children: Eating meat every meal during a famine

"Don't worry, Madam Su, I will pay attention. But this is not my decision alone, it is agreed by everyone. Everyone thinks that if we water the plants more now, the harvest of medicinal herbs will be better in the future."

"I understand your thoughts. Anyway, I am grateful that you manage the medicinal herbs so well. But in the future, you won't have to get up early in the morning to water them. Let me show you the drawing of the automatic irrigation system I drew." Su Yunluo showed Zhang Qingshan a sketch he had drawn.

Zhang Qingshan learned how to read maps from Su Yunluo, and now he can understand some of the drawings of the automatic irrigation system.

"Great! Madam Su, excuse me for being so presumptuous, but how on earth do you come up with so many useful ideas? It seems that nothing in this world can be difficult for you!"

"I used to love reading." Su Yunluo said half-truthfully.

Studying is something only men can do.

Su Yunluo is a girl whose family can allow her to go to school, so her family background must be extraordinary.

Zhang Qingshan nodded: "I see."

"Yes, there are so many things to learn from books." Su Yunluo said.

She had an idea, which was to set up a school in the village so that all the children in the village could go to the school and learn to read and write.

I don't want everyone to pass an imperial examination or something, but at least the children can learn to read and do arithmetic when they grow up.

However, the conditions are not yet sufficient, so she did not bring it up. She just nudges Zhang Qingshan to form a subconscious mind that reading is useful, laying the foundation for him to run the school in the future.

Although, Su Yunluo believed that as long as she opened her mouth, the parents in the village would definitely send their children to school.

But what she wants is that others want to study willingly, and it would be best if others beg her to study. Only in this way can the effect be best!

Zhang Qingshan seemed to be thinking about something.

Su Yunluo achieved his goal and began to tell him the specific implementation process of the automatic irrigation system.

In fact, this automatic irrigation system is also very simple. It is to find a spring on the mountain, then cut a lot of bamboos, remove the knots in the middle of the bamboos, make the bamboos hollow, and turn them into long pipes.

By connecting the bamboos end to end, you can bring up spring water all the way from the mountain.

After the spring water is collected, use thinner bamboo to separate the water and drain it to various medicinal material bases.

Find thinner bamboo poles that are hollow in the middle, and drill holes in the poles according to the spacing of the medicinal herbs.

In this way, when water flows through, some water will drip out from the holes and penetrate into the soil.

In this way, water can irrigate the medicinal materials 12 hours a day.

And the roots won’t rot due to too much water!

Su Yunluo kept talking and Zhang Qingshan kept nodding.

After explaining one picture, Zhang Qingshan pointed to another picture next to it and asked, "What is this one for?"

"It's a supplement to the irrigation system in front." Su Yunluo asked him: "Look, that was the situation just now when there was water on the mountain. What if the drought is severe and there is no water on the mountain?"

"Then... we can only go to the river to pick them."

"So, I made a Feng Shui wheel that can be turned by water and wind. It can transfer water from the river to a higher place. Then we just need to connect a pipe at the higher place to collect the water and irrigate again."

Zhang Qingshan understood it all, but he was not sure what the specific effect of the implementation would be.

Although many of the methods Su Yunluo came up with were successfully implemented.

But today's is too complicated.

Especially the Feng Shui wheel, a slight miscalculation may lead to the failure of the entire Feng Shui wheel.

Zhang Qingshan personally led the entire village to build this automatic irrigation system.

Although at the beginning, many people did not agree.

I feel like putting so much work into building an automatic irrigation system is a bit of an overcomplicated undertaking.

It’s even easier to just carry water for watering!

What if it starts raining again after it’s built?

But Su Yunluo was their breadwinner, so even though they had doubts in their hearts, they still worked diligently and did not dare to be careless at all.

It took almost half a month, and even after two rains, the automatic irrigation system was finally built.

It rained heavily the day after it was built.

Therefore, there is more discussion about this automatic irrigation system in private!

"In previous years, there was a lot of rain in the summer. This year should be similar."

"I think this automatic irrigation system is useless."

"We wasted half a month's time."

Such discussions lasted for about ten days.

Then the situation started to reverse...

Because, after the heavy rain that day, it didn’t rain for about ten days.

However, the temperature is surprisingly high, not only higher than the previous period, but also much higher than the temperature in the same month in previous years.

It was so hot in the morning that I was sweating all over.

Not to mention at noon!

The sun was scorching the earth, and the sun looked so bright that even the most naughty children were unwilling to go out and play at noon.

The sun is really burning on the skin!

Su Yunluo really wants an air conditioner!

If there is no air conditioning, a fan will be fine!

If all else fails, dig an air-raid shelter.

Air-raid shelters are usually dug at the foot of the mountain, warm in winter and cool in summer...

Su Yunluo decided that after this difficult summer was over, she would choose a place in the mountains of Sankeshuxia Village and dig a large air-raid shelter.

When the time comes, I’ll take the whole village there to escape the summer heat!

Such hot days lasted for three months.

During these three months, there was almost no rain.

The mountain spring water is almost dry.

The river water level has also dropped significantly.

Fortunately, the river did not dry up completely.

The automatic irrigation system built by Su Yunluo has been working all the time.

Many crops in other places have been killed by the sun, and I’m afraid this year’s harvest is in jeopardy.

The medicinal herbs planted by Su Yunluo and her friends are still growing lush and green, and have grown a lot taller!

After this incident, no one questioned Su Yunluo’s decision anymore!

……

Autumn is here!

The autumn weather is clear and the temperature is pleasant.

It's also harvest time.

The villagers, who had been idle for three or four months, had built up their strength and had long wanted to stretch their muscles.

When Su Yunluo pointed to one of the herb fields and said to everyone, "We can start harvesting the herbs in this field today!"

Everyone cheered.

"This herb can be harvested twice a year. But because this is the first year of planting, it can only be harvested once this year. When you harvest, you must be careful not to cut it close to the soil. If you cut it close to the soil, it will be ruined and the next crop will not be able to grow. You must leave it about five centimeters so that it can continue to survive. In this way, it can be harvested again in late spring next year." Su Yunluo demonstrated it to the 32 team leaders and deputy team leaders: "Have you all learned it?"
