Happy Farmer's Life

"Wang Wu, look, I bought three pigeons. I'll show you how to make pigeon soup later." Du Weiming happily ran to Wang Wu's room with the three pigeons.

"Master, this thing is so expensive, don't buy it in the future."

"I won't give you food until you're in good health. Now you can rest easy and recuperate." Du Weiming took the pigeon back to the kitchen, and Zhou Wen had already brought other things into the house.

"Zhou Wen, kill this pigeon, and I'll cook the soup."

Zhou Wen took the pigeon from Du Weiming's hand and went outside to work.Du Weiming found the dried mushrooms and black fungus at home and soaked them in boiling water for later use.First, wash the slaughtered pigeons, and then give Wang Wu two meals.Blanch them in boiling water, wash the black fungus and dried mushrooms.Then put the pigeons, Gastrodia elata, dried mushrooms, black fungus, rice wine, scallion knots, and ginger into a large bowl, put them in the pot and steam for an hour.

Let Zhou Wen watch the fire, and Du Weiming took out the medicine to be fried later and soaked it in the wooden basin.Zhou Wen couldn't understand it a little bit, "Master, why do you need to soak up this medicine?"

"Zhou Wen, when you Wang Wu decocts medicine in the future, you will soak the medicine for more than half an hour before decocting, so that the decocted medicine will be more effective."

Although Zhou Wen didn't understand what it meant, he still nodded in agreement.

In the evening, Zhou Wen and I will have porridge and pancakes. We need to save money now. We spent more than 600 Wen in one trip to the town. After the 400 Wen medicine money given by the village head, we also spent more than [-] Wen. We need to be more calculating. .The harvest in the field today is definitely not good.

The water in the water tank at home was almost used up tonight, so Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to dig out a jar of water at night.

"Zhou Wen, tomorrow you go to the mountain to chop some bamboos and come back, I will be useful."

"Okay, sir."

The pigeon soup is stewed, and the aroma can be smelled from afar.A little salt was added to the soup.

"Zhou Wen, you can bring it in and give it to Wang Wu. I'll make dinner."

Inside the house, Wang Wu looked at the bowl of pigeon soup, his eyes were red.He has been injured so many times, this is the first time someone made soup for him.

"Wang Wu, drink it while it's hot. This is the soup that the young master specially made for you."

"Zhou Wen, the young master is really, really kind to me."

"Okay, I know that the young master treats you well, so you should eat quickly, heal your injury, and repay the young master well."

Drinking a bowl of soup not only warms the stomach, but also warms the heart.Young master, you really don't see yourself as a person right now, you really treat yourself too well.

In the evening, Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to rest, saying that he was accompanying Wang Wu.

"Master, you have been busy all day, why do you still have to accompany Wang Wu at night, you go to rest quickly, I will just accompany you."

"Zhou Wen, you've been busy for a day too, you go to rest and I'll accompany you."

"You are the young master, how can I let you accompany me. Well, listen to me, you go to bed, and I will accompany you."

"Young master, go to rest and let Zhou Wen accompany me. I'm much better now, I'm fine, and I don't need anyone to accompany me. Zhou Wen sleeps next to me, and I can call him if I need anything."

Du Weiming couldn't bear the words of the two and went back to his room to rest.Lying in bed, I began to think about how to dig a well.In fact, I don't have any idea about digging a well myself, so I'll try it out first.

In fact, Du Weiming thought about where to dig the well for a long time. He had no experience in this field, but he still decided that it should not be too far from the river bank.Although it is not clear where the groundwater is, it should be more abundant near the original river than in other places.

Early the next morning, Zhou Wen went up to the mountain to chop bamboo, and Du Weiming asked him to stop by to see if he could dig some wild vegetables.Now there are many wild vegetables on the mountain, but there are not many vegetables in the field.I was busy making breakfast, decocting medicine, and changing Wang Wu's medicine.

The shallower wounds on Wang Wu's body were already scarred.But the two wounds on the shoulder and hand were still not healed.It seems that these two wounds will take longer.

"Master, can you let me wipe my body, I feel like I'm going to stink." It's not that Wang Wu is picky, but the weather is so hot, and he's lying in bed all day, sweating all the time, it's really a bit uncomfortable. no more.

"No, the doctor said, you can't touch the water now."

"Master, can I just wipe it off?"

"Well, when Zhou Wen comes back at night, the two of us will wipe off the uninjured places for you."

Wang Wu felt that he had finally achieved some success, and it would be good if he could wipe some parts, but his body really couldn't bear it.

When Zhou Wen came back, the sun was already high, and the porridge that Du Weiming specially left was already cold.

"Master, the weather is really hot, cold porridge is just right."

Du Weiming was busy with the bamboo cut by Wang Zhouwen.He found three thicker bamboos and asked Zhou Wen to cut off the thinner parts on them. The three bamboos were the same length.Du Weiming cut the rope into sections, fixed the three bamboos with the rope, and turned him into a round stick.

After lunch, the two of them took a rest, and when the sun was less harsh, Du Weiming decided to go out and dig a well.Take care of Wang Wu and the others are not far outside the house, just call out if you have something to do.

"It's done, young master, go get busy, I will call you if there is anything to do."

Du Weiming chose a place about ten meters away from the inner house, about five or six meters away from the river bank, and about two or three meters away from the road in the village.After selecting the place, Du Weiming chose a branch and drew a circle on the ground, with a diameter of about two feet.

"Zhou Wen, just dig in this pit, don't go over it."

"okay."

The two dug the hole with all their might. The digging in front was very simple. When they dug to about one meter, only one person was able to dig down the hole.

Du Weiming brought the pillar from home, put it in the middle of the round hole, and then went to get the rope and a small basket.

"Zhou Wen, go down and continue digging later. You can fix this pillar below, and climb up along this later, okay?"

"OK, no problem."

"You dig below, and you dig the soil in this small basket. I've tied a rope to the basket. When it's full, just call me and I'll pull it up and pour it out before putting it down."

"Okay, young master, just look at mine."

In fact, digging a well is dangerous. Du Weiming has no idea, so he can only keep taking care of Zhou Wen.

"Master, don't worry, I can climb trees very well, if not, I will climb up this pillar, don't worry."

The two worked together and dug about one and a half meters in one afternoon, but judging from the soil below, Du Weiming was still confident that there was water underground.

The two had been busy for a long time, and their bodies were covered in mud.Especially Zhou Wen, digging a hole at the bottom, it was sweat and mud, his body seemed to be rolling in the mire.I really want to take a good bath.

But there wasn't much water in the house, so Du Weiming spent a while extravagantly, took half a jar of water, and both of them wiped it with water. There was no way there was too much mud, and it was really sad to stick to the body.

Du Weiming had the bamboo left over from the front and erected it by the side of the pit, which could be used as a railing, otherwise the child would be disgusted if he fell.There weren't enough bamboos, so Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to cut another bamboo into about a foot, and used it to surround the well.

The two of them worked for a long time and were extremely tired, especially Zhou Wen.Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to rest and made dinner by himself.Before the meal was ready, the village chief came.

"Li Er, what is the use of you digging such a big hole over there?"

Zhou Wen took over the work from Du Weiming and asked Du Weiming to go out and talk to the village chief.

"Uncle Village Chief, I'm digging a well."

"Dig a well? Is that the well that can have water?"

"Yes, I haven't done it before, so I don't know how to dig it. Just try it. If it works, you don't have to go so far to fetch water." "I just checked, and the pit is already quite deep. Is it dangerous?" "Village chief, don't worry, we'll just try, and if it doesn't work, we'll fill in the hole again." "Okay, then be careful, and come to me if you need help." The village chief was also thinking about it in his heart. If Li Er can really figure out the method of digging a well, will everyone still risk their lives to fetch water from such a far place in the future?It was his luck that his son was not injured this time, and he was rescued by Wang Wu, otherwise it would be his son lying on the bed now.If it is possible to dig a well, I will dig a well at home, and I will not be afraid of this drought in the future.

Du Weiming was also thinking about another thing. When he went to see a hole just now, he found that the bottom was not so smooth, it was a bit crooked, and it was not in a straight line from above.How can this be solved?And after the digging, there are cement pipes in modern times that can be filled directly, so what should we do now?
