Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Craftsman Chen's work had been completed, and the finishing work was done very well. Even the wages had been fully settled, so he could have gone home.

However, the well, which should have been completed before the construction of their house was completed, ran into problems.

Master Fan's craftsmanship has been obvious to all over the years.

Moreover, the water from the first well in Xia Shengsheng's house is particularly good. Because it is a deep well, the water is clear and sweet, and the amount of water is also particularly large.

Who would have thought that after the second well was built, there would be no water for a long time.

These days, Master Fan has been leading the workers to figure out what went wrong!

Finally he found a blockage and cleared out a lot of silt.

The rock wall was repaired and tidied up before everyone gathered around the well, fearing that it would stop producing water again.

This matter has nothing to do with Craftsman Chen.

However, he was the one who introduced Master Fan, and if anything happened it would damage his reputation.

So, after Craftsman Chen finished his work, his team came over every day to check on the situation and occasionally lend a hand, just to ensure that Master Fan would not slack off.

Suan Tou is Master Fan’s apprentice. He was very worried before, but now he finally feels relieved.

With a smile on his face, he drew a bucket of water from the well.

He served several bowls and handed the first one to Xia Shengsheng first.

In fact, Xia Shengsheng has never been in a hurry. Even if he made the worst-case plan, it was just digging a dry well.

If you don’t find a good spot, just fill it in and look for another one. It’s not a big deal.

But I saw everyone go from being nervous to relaxed.

She also breathed a sigh of relief for everyone.

He took the water handed to him by Garlic and took a sip.

“It’s sweet and delicious, and feels like spring water. Very good!”

After listening to Xia Shengsheng's evaluation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and took bowls to taste the water in the well.

"It is indeed sweet, and tastes better than the well ahead!"

"It's really hard to make a good thing!"

Xia Shengsheng smiled and paid Master Fan the wages.

Master Fan said with an embarrassed look on his face. "Xiao Xia! We have delayed you for so long, please don't pay us so much, otherwise we will be embarrassed to ask for it."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just a delay of a few days, but you guys did a very good job. The wages will be as we agreed at the beginning. It's what it is!

Just take what I give you. You never know when we may have more dealings in the future! I trust Master Fan’s craftsmanship and character.”

Although Master Fan delayed the construction period, Xia Shengsheng did not lose anything.

The ten laborers assigned to Master Fan were paid after the well was dug and went home.

The latter was done by Master Fan, his apprentices and Carpenter Chen.

She didn't even have to provide lunch, so apart from a few days of delay there was no loss at all.

Of course, wages should be paid according to what is due.

Master Fan admires Xia Shengsheng's pattern very much.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, he still accepted the money. After all, he had a family to support and his apprentices also needed to eat.

After Master Fan and his team left, Craftsman Chen and his team also wanted to leave.

"I can finally rest assured this time, and we will go back first.

If you have anything else in the future, feel free to come find me.

Even if I'm not at home, Siyao can help pass on the message."

Xia Shengsheng asked Ye Chao to bring over the things he had prepared earlier.

"Please give this to Siyao. Ask her to mix a few ingredients together and make a soup. Drink some whenever you have nothing to do. You can drink it like water. It's good for her health."

The day before, when Xia Shengsheng took Ercheng and Shanshan to the town to buy things, he saw Chen Siyao, the daughter of Chen Gongshi.

At that time, she was holding her stomach and holding on to the wall, sweating coldly due to the pain.

At first I thought it was some sort of emergency.

Later I found out it was dysmenorrhea.

Xia Shengsheng and the two children sent Chen Siyao back home.

Chen Siyao's mother died of illness when she was seven or eight years old.

Carpenter Chen has been living with her alone all these years.

When I just got my period two years ago, because there was no woman to warn me, I took advantage of the cold, and I have been suffering from illness over the years.

Every time I have my period, the pain is so severe that I can’t get up.

That day she wanted to go out to buy some things and bring them home, but suddenly she fell ill on the way back.

It happened to be encountered by Xia Shengsheng.

Xia Shengsheng prepared the ingredients for cooking five-red soup for Chen Siyao.

Red dates, red beans, peanuts, wolfberries, and brown sugar.

Wuhong Soup can dispel coldness and replenish qi and blood. If women drink it regularly, it can improve their dysmenorrhea problems.

Last time she told Siyao about the cooking method.

This time it's just right for craftsman Chen to take it back.

"Hey, how can I take your things for nothing?"

Master Chen didn’t know that Xia Shengsheng had met Chen Siyao, nor did he know that his daughter was suffering from dysmenorrhea, so when Xia Shengsheng suddenly wanted to bring something for his daughter, he was embarrassed to take it.

"It's not something valuable, it's something we always have at home. I saw Siyao when I went to town the day before yesterday. She always has stomachaches, and drinking this thing in water can improve her symptoms.

Last time I told her that I would bring it to her and told her how to make it.

Craftsman Chen can just take it back. This is the relationship between Siyao and me!"

Although Master Chen was a little confused, he understood what Xia Shengsheng meant. Since Xia Shengsheng had already said so, it was difficult for him to refuse.

I just received thanks and left with my things.

After Chen Gongshen left, Ercheng walked to Xia Shengsheng's side.

“Mom, do those things really work when used to make soup?

Sister Siyao, your stomach won't hurt so much in the future, right?"

Xia Shengsheng looked at Ercheng who was questioning him, and knocked his head like his habit.

“You’ll know if it works if you try it.

And there's more! Siyao calls me sister-in-law, and you call Chen the craftsman Grandpa Chen. According to seniority, you should call Siyao Auntie.

Don’t call me the wrong name next time! "

After giving these instructions, Xia Shengsheng turned and left.

Er Cheng muttered behind her, "She's only a few years older than the eldest sister, but she's already a generation older. Mom is so mean. She should just call herself by her own name!"

Xia Shengsheng's voice came from behind.

"Ercheng, what are you talking about? Practice the moves I taught you this morning. If you don't practice well, you won't be allowed to eat."

Ercheng sighed and went to practice obediently.

Finally, he no longer had to do horse stance every day. Now he could practice some simple martial arts moves, but he couldn't miss the horse stance.

Ye Chao came back with two buckets of water and saw Ercheng practicing martial arts.

Pour the water into the water tank and run out to practice with them.

As if he was afraid of being left behind by Ercheng.

Ever since Xia Shengsheng taught Ye Chao the martial arts moves, Ye Chao would practice along with him.

However, Ye Chao has some basic skills in martial arts.

I think he has been practicing it since he was young.

Xia Shengsheng could see it, so after teaching Ercheng, he would teach Ye Chao some complicated martial arts moves.

Although Ye Chao and Er Cheng started from different starting points, the two seemed to be competing with each other.

Although they still practiced separately, they were always comparing with each other in their hearts.

See who has made greater progress.

"Yiyi, I still have to go to the village chief's house. It's a good time to call Shanshan back. It's almost time for dinner.

We will go to the capital tomorrow, it is too late today."
