Chapter 150 Water is flowing out of the well
"Madam, do you still remember that you have me as your husband?" There was a hint of resentment in Lu Yuan's tone.
Lu Yuan's clothes were completely different from those he wore during the day. He had changed into a bright red outfit.
"Do you think today's meal is delicious?"
Xu Qiuyue said to Lu Yuan while serving herself some rice.
"Madam's cooking skills are naturally excellent." Lu Yuan ate with relish.
He was tired after a long day, and the food cooked by the county government chef did not taste good, far inferior to Xu Qiuyue's cooking.
So he didn't eat much all day.
After digging a well for a long time, no water was found.
"My dear husband, don't worry. I took a walk along the North Sea today and have come up with a solution. There is no water in the North City, but there is plenty of water in the North Sea.
Salt merchants have a method of refining salt. When the time comes, my husband will use the excuse that he wants to refine salt and use a large amount of sea water.
Then use the filtration method to filter the sea water into drinkable water and pour it into the well you dug.
This proves that there is water where my husband is digging, but he just didn't dig deep enough.
If it is difficult to dig a well, we don't have to dig a well, we can dig a pond.
Since this is the place chosen by the geomancer and my husband personally, there must be water, it’s just not deep enough.
Then we pour water at night and let the people fetch water in the morning. If the water is gone, we continue to dig and let everyone fetch water in the morning.”
"I was wondering how come you can always find water sources on the road? Could it be that you used Qinggong to fetch water from far away?"
Lu Yuan had felt that the water sources Xu Qiuyue found were not right.
If you take too much water, it will disappear and sink into the ground.
If you think about it carefully, the water seems to have been irrigated by someone.
But this is a good idea.
When Lu Yuan first came here, he knew the importance of people's hearts.
He could dig out water in one move.
Then these people will certainly be wholeheartedly loyal to him.
But if he fails to dig out water, it would be a small matter of losing face, but his appeal here would certainly be greatly reduced.
"Now you know why I asked you to find a geomancer to take a look. I can find you a water source that is suitable for us to drink.
But if we want to find a water source that can supply water to the whole city, that is not possible.”
"Is that what you call looking for water?" Lu Yuan complained speechlessly.
"Just tell me whether you found any water."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything and continued to eat until he finished his meal.
He whispered to Xu Qiuyue, "Do you think there will be water in the well tomorrow morning?"
"Of course there will be water, don't worry, husband!"
"The Wang family and Liu Qun are too much of a bully. I sent someone to buy water, but they asked for one ounce of silver per spoonful of water."
"Then you bought it."
"Of course, if I don't buy water for bathing, it will only make me suffer. But if I stink, it will make my wife sick. I am doing this for her own good."
"Have a good sleep tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, the big vats in the mansion will be filled with water, and there will be water in the well too."
Xu Qiuyue said to Lu Yuan.
Xu Qiuyue already had an idea in her mind. She planned to use space to get water and then filter it with sand and cotton cloth.
But before that, all the water in the space pool must be poured out.
Anyway, Xu Qiuyue can save a bowl of spiritual spring water every day. With the spiritual spring water to drink, she will not die of thirst.
Xu Qiuyue changed into night clothes in front of Lu Yuan and left with a big cowhide bag.
Lu Yuan was originally going to go along.
Xu Qiuyue said that she wanted to compete with Lu Yuan in strength, so she knocked Lu Yuan unconscious. Lu Yuan never thought that he would be knocked unconscious by Xu Qiuyue.
Xu Qiuyue went to the well that Lu Yuan dug. It was very deep. In one day, he had already dug several dozen feet deep. Xu Qiuyue also took a look at the water source. According to common sense, there should be water in this place.
But I knew what was going on, there was no water at all.
It's just that the land is a little moist.
Xu Qiuyue padded the ground of the well with cowhide and reinforced the surrounding area.
The water that she had transported with great effort could not leak out, otherwise there would be no water tomorrow.
Xu Qiuyue poured all the water she brought from the space into the room, and found that only a small half of the water was left.
So Xu Qiuyue used her Qinggong skills to come to the edge of the North Sea and used the space to fill with sea water.
Xu Qiuyue was surprised to find that as long as she thought about it, her space could actually filter out the sea water perfectly.
All her cotton was prepared in vain.
It's of no use at all.
Xu Qiuyue had never been to the seaside in her previous life, so naturally she didn't know what would happen if the sea water entered the space.
Piles of snow-white salt were piled in Xu Qiuyue's space.
This is snow salt, which is very precious. Many poor people can only eat coarse salt, and they usually have to eat it sparingly.
This snow salt is usually only affordable by wealthy families.
Xu Qiuyue is eating the same kind of snow salt now, and it doesn’t have any bitterness at all.
Xu Qiuyue used to eat coarse salt, which had a slight bitter taste.
But if you don’t add salt to your dishes, the taste will be particularly bad. And if you don’t eat salt for a long time, you will feel listless and have no strength all day long.
This snow salt is called snow salt because the salt is as white as snow.
Coarse salt is yellowish and looks a bit dirty, which is completely incomparable to snow salt.
Xu Qiuyue had never expected that her space would have such benefits.
His mood immediately improved and he filled up the well for Lu Yuan.
Then I went back and had a good sleep.
When Lu Yuan woke up, Xu Qiuyue was sleeping soundly.
Lu Yuan knew Xu Qiuyue's character and generally would not brag for no reason.
He stood up and prepared to ask someone to check the well.
Then I heard the surprised voice of the yamen constable.
"Sir, it is really the blessing of the Dragon God that the well you dug yesterday is full of water today."
Lu Yuan hurried over and scooped a bucket of water to drink. The water was sweet.
"Quick, pass the word down that all the people in the North City can come here to get a bucket of water for free. Let everyone come and get water."
"Sir, can we do it?" The detectives looked at Lu Yuan eagerly.
There is also a lack of water in their homes.
"Let people from our yamen draw water first. Everyone from our yamen can fill a water jar.
Everyone worked hard digging the well yesterday."
Lu Yuan is obviously different from his father. His father usually likes to take care of the common people.
But he likes to take care of his own people first.
At the same time, Lu Yuan also asked his guards to notify the merchants he brought with him to come and get water.
He will not let his own people suffer.
When I came here before.
The Wang family and Liu Qun colluded with each other and tried to block his water source, and those who followed him before suffered.
Now is the time to make amends.
However, when Lu Yuan thought of Xu Qiuyue's sleeping face, he was very moved. He didn't know how long Xu Qiuyue had been busy to get so much water. She must have been exhausted, and maybe she hadn't slept all night.
