Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

It took more than a week to fill the sand, and Xu Wenyan felt it was almost done.

During this period, Xu Wenyan went to the county to purchase a lot of timber.

Although the price is a bit higher, it is still within Xu Wenyan's acceptable range.

The Northwest is dry and hot, so wooden furniture will not rot due to moisture. These days, Xu Wenyan is teaching the people who are helping with the work how to carbonize wood.

Although wood is available now, adobe bricks are still the main material. Although they are not very beautiful, they are affordable.

The workers here continued to work hard. Xu Wenyan put on a straw hat and went to the melon field with Chen Sanlin.

Almost all the watermelons in the field have bloomed small yellow flowers.

There are not many animals here that can spread pollen. In order not to affect the yield, Xu Wenyan decided to use artificial pollination.

I saw that he was holding a small brush in his hand. The bristles of the brush were made of wool, which had better stickiness.

As far as this speed is concerned, Xu Wenyan is still very satisfied.

It is estimated that the factory will be completed in another week.

"Brother Chen."

Chen Sanlin, who was not far away, looked up, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his nose and chin, and finally dripped onto the sand.

"I'm here."

"If there is really a chance, I would also like to take Brother Chen to play in our era."

Xu Wenyan's face was filled with smiles just thinking about it: "It must be very interesting."

"Well, no matter where I go, as long as I'm with you."

It's only morning now, but the sun is so hot that even the air is deformed by the heat.

Xu Wenyan would rather work late in the afternoon or evening than stay in the sand at noon.

If you break an egg in the sand, it will definitely cook.

Xiaoman cooked today's meal. Now Xiaoman and Xu Wenyan take turns cooking at home.

Xiaoman used to help Xu Wenyan often, and his cooking skills are quite good.

"Xu Wenyan, when are we going to the desert to play?" Luo Sanyuan asked while holding a bowl of rice.

"Brother, you don't know how hot it is outside. At least wait until after the autumn harvest."

Now Xu Wenyan just wanted to finish his meal as soon as possible and go out to sit on a low stool by the river to enjoy the cool air.

Looking back, air conditioning is really the greatest invention in the world, but a fan will do the trick.

Yes! You can make one yourself.

"Hey, Xu Wenyan, why are you running? It's autumn, so it's autumn." Luo Sanyuan on this side didn't know what was going on.

Anyway, Xu Wenyan ran out after he finished speaking.

After Chen Sanlin finished his two bites, he also chased after him.

"Brother Chen, it's good that you're out. Please help me cut some thin willow branches, and make sure they are even." Xu Wenyan was holding a few thin wooden boards in his hands, fiddling with something.

"it is good."

After listening to what Xu Wenyan said, Chen Sanlin left with a machete.

Xu Wenyan was also very puzzled. Why did so many couples quarrel every day, but he and Brother Chen had never quarreled.

Don't understand, don't understand.

Use a knife to draw the pattern of fan blades on the wooden board. Xu Wenyan needs three such fan blades. The next step is to use a saw.

When the polishing was almost finished, Chen Sanlin came back with the willow branches.

This task was quite complicated, so Xu Wenyan could only handle it himself for now.

"Brother Chen, go get some to start a fire over here."

There is a stove at home, which is not easy to operate.

Then Xu Wenyan sawed a circle out of the wooden board, hollowed out the middle slightly, and added a few fan blades in.

Xu Wenyan made the three fan blades quite large, so the wind force will definitely be strong.

After Xu Wenyan was done, Chen Sanlin had also lit the fire. The next step was to roast the willow branches over the fire and fold them into a ring with force.

Luo Sanyuan came out after washing the dishes and was confused when he saw what Xu Wenyan was holding.

"Lao Xu, what are you doing again?"

"Never mind. Bring me another board."

After the parts are made, it will be easier to assemble, and then we will need to use this stream to generate electricity.

Because it only needs to drive the fan, it does not require much water flow.

The water windmill made by Xu Wenyan is neither too big nor too small, just enough to fit in the small river.

Just riding on the water windmill took the whole night.

At this point, Xiaoman was holding the kerosene lamp while Xu Wenyan was doing the final assembly work on the fan and water windmill.

"All right."

With the last piece put on.

The wood chips in the water are driven by the water flow, and the rotating square gear in the middle drives the fan.

"Hu-hu-"

The three blades of the circular fan also started moving, spinning faster and faster.

“It’s a pity that it can only be placed outside.”

With Xu Wenyan's knowledge, this is all he can do. Although it is troublesome, the wind force is still good.

"Wow! Lao Xu, you are simply a genius."

Luo Sanyuan stood in front of the fan, with his arms and legs apart, and the wind blew up his thin shirt.

“Ah————” Luo Sanyuan opened his mouth wide and felt the wind blowing towards him.

"Damn you, you've taken up all the seats by yourself." Xu Wenyan walked forward, trying to push Luo Sanyuan away.

Luo Sanyuan smiled and put his arm around Xu Wenyan's shoulders: "It's such a big place, come on, let's go together."

Four people sat by the river, fanned themselves, chatted, and ate a few bites of watermelon. That was what comfort was.

After that, Xu Wenyan will have to improve this thing and see how to move it home.

At night, you can only turn on the fan towards the door, at least the temperature in the room won’t be too high.

Xu Wenyan sprayed weed killer outside the house and also burned incense at home, and the effect was very good.

Until now, Xu Wenyan has never seen any insects at home.

This hydraulic fan does not require any electricity and can blow all night long.

You can feel the cool breeze even when lying in bed.

Xu Wenyan couldn't help but sigh.

“Technology is great.”

Time comes the next day.

The workers who came to work all gathered around Xu Wenyan's fan, and soon Xu Wenyan's fan became famous.

At first, only some adults came to watch, and soon the children gathered around.

But the children in this village are very well-behaved. They just stand outside the door and never go into the house.

Xu Wenyan didn't care about them. After the factory building was built, Xu Wenyan had to get busy with the next thing.

"Hey, Lao Xu, what are these in your bag?" Luo Sanyuan was holding a handful of brown beans, which looked similar to cowpea seeds.

Xu Wenyan took one and thought for a long time: "Oh, I almost forgot about this thing."

These are cassava. Xu Wenyan bought them in Tianshui or somewhere else before. He had forgotten about them and didn’t expect that he didn’t find them out when he was raising the seedlings.

Cassava is drought-tolerant and does not require much water to survive.

It is known as the lazy man's vegetable and is a staple food in Africa in modern times.

"Well, there's life again."

Xu Wenyan took Luo Sanyuan to the sand to plant the cassava seeds.

There is nothing special about planting cassava, just make the spacing between them wider.

Cassava has well-developed roots, and if you don't leave enough space, its growth will be restricted.

It took less than an hour to plant these cassavas. After this first batch of cassavas matured, we could directly use their stalks to plant.

It can be said to be very convenient.

At that time, Xu Wenyan will slowly plant cassava in all these places.

In order to better green the land near his home, Xu Wenyan also bought a lot of Haloxylon ammodendron saplings.

It's about half a meter high.

Xu Wenyan plants a row of trees every ten meters. The saplings of Haloxylon ammodendron are not expensive.

After all, this tree has no value, and growing it as a seedling will only result in a loss.

Xu Wenyan also took great pains to find someone who had planted some.

Apply enough fertilizer at the beginning, and you won’t have to be so diligent later.

All things are difficult at the beginning, this is the truth.
