The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 107 Building a Bathroom
The "divine doctor" that Fu Tingxuan has been thinking about has been very busy these days. The stable hut is actually not small, with an area of more than 50 square meters, but there is nothing inside except a bed.
If not, then modify it, little by little, make it the way you like it. This morning, she was awakened by the alarm on her cell phone. She hadn't been startled by an alarm in a long time. She was stunned for a while before she remembered that she had deliberately turned on the alarm last night because she found that the time on her watch didn't match the actual time, and she didn't know how much the difference was, so she wanted to adjust the time.
She turned over and checked the alarm on her cell phone. It rang at 6:30 in the morning. She looked at her watch and it was already past 7 o'clock, which was more than an hour difference. Fortunately, the alarm rang in the morning. If it had rang in the middle of the day, she thought she would go crazy.
The most primitive method is to erect a pole in the yard and wait until noon, when the shadow and the pole completely overlap and there is only a dot on the ground. That is exactly 12 o'clock. As soon as you adjust your watch, you hear the chime, which is exactly noon, and then the time on your mobile phone is also adjusted.
After calibrating the watch, I feel like life is returning little by little.
I lay down and tried to take a nap, but I couldn't fall asleep, so I just got up early.
Let's go to the kitchen to eat first. Ma's cooking skills are at the level of chopping and boiling with a little salt. The porridge and bread that have not changed for thousands of years are enough. If you want to eat something good, you have to cook it yourself.
"Madam Ma, can't you make something delicious?"
"If you want to eat, make it yourself. If you don't want to eat, get out of the way." Hua Xiyu was intimidated by Ma Niang's sturdy body, so he quickly opened the door for her. She was going back to take care of her husband and son. After a while, the horse herders would come one after another to have breakfast.
Hua Xiyu searched in the kitchen for a while and actually found eggs, so she fried two eggs for herself without hesitation. Then she cut a piece of lean meat from the meat that Ma Niangzi had just bought and fried herself a pork chop. She put it between two bread rolls and made a sandwich. Then she went back to the stable house and made herself a cup of coffee. Then she had a hearty breakfast.
After a delicious breakfast, I went back to fetch water and brush the horse.
Carrying the clumsy bucket, she walked towards the horse trough. In front of her, it seemed that housekeeper Lin was leading a young man towards the stable. The young man had a tall and muscular body, and he walked with the wind under his feet. Hua Xiyu followed behind and shouted silently: Turn around, turn around, let me see your face.
The person in front seemed to sense that someone was following him, and suddenly stopped. Hua Xiyu was distracted and failed to stop, almost bumping into the man's back. The heavy wooden barrel fell heavily to the ground, and water splashed out of the barrel. She quickly let go and jumped away to avoid the water spilling on her shoes.
Butler Lin, who had been walking, heard the noise, turned around and looked at Hua Xiyu, and said with a smile: "Ah Lin, this is the new Ah Tu, he will follow you from now on."
"A Tu greets 'Lin... " Without saying the word miracle doctor, Ah Tu clasped his hands together and bowed.
The prince had said that Doctor Lin raised horses only to hide his identity and to protect him, and that the secret must not be leaked. He almost let the cat out of the bag just now.
She wanted to call her "girl", but seeing her attire, she couldn't even say "girl" because her mouth was covered by Steward Lin.
"Speak softly, no one here knows she is a woman," Butler Lin whispered in his ear.
"Then what should I call her?" Ah Tu was confused. The prince didn't tell him to call her the miracle doctor or the young lady. Could he call her a young master? Who would raise horses? No, who would raise horses? He looked at the housekeeper Lin, not knowing what to do.
When he saw it was Ah Tu, Hua Xiyu quickly put away all his thoughts. He was just a little brat. In comparison, Prince Hong was more like a man.
Manager Lin didn't look at Ah Tu, and his meaning was very clear: let him handle it himself.
"Follow me? Be my younger brother?" Hua Xiyu looked at A Tu and then at Steward Lin. Even though he was Bi Ma Wen's subordinate, it seemed like a good feeling to have a younger brother.
Ah Tu nodded vigorously and patted Manager Lin's hand, asking him to let go.
"Then you can call me big brother from now on." Hua Xiyu looked at A Tu for a long time. He had been busy rescuing the wounded these days and didn't realize that this kid was handsome, sunny, and a beautiful boy.
"It's all up to you, big brother." Ah Tu bowed politely again.
"Does that mean that we will raise these five horses together in the future?" Hua Xiyu ignored his empty formalities and asked Steward Lin.
"You have to ask Qi Tou. When Qi Bao comes soon, you can ask him." After saying this, Butler Lin left. He didn't want to stay in the stable any longer.
Soon, Qi Bao confirmed: "You two newcomers, it's good enough if you can take good care of these five horses."
Hua Xiyu was so happy that she seemed to have the potential to be a big sister. Now that she had her first little brother, the second one wouldn’t be far behind, and the third, the fourth... and after that, hahaha, the future was promising.
Since he is my younger brother, all the dirty, heavy and tiring work can be left to this handsome boy. I just need to be in charge of the commands. This way I can free up plenty of time to visit Huicheng.
She decided to collect some antiques and put them in the car. She couldn't go back with an empty car, so she had to fill the car with treasures.
Alas, she had to find a way to drive the RV back to the palace. She had to take a good look at where in the palace could accommodate such a large car.
Hua Xiyu's horse breeding career officially began. In just one day, she had gotten to know all the horse breeders. None of them had a surname, only a very casual name. They were all slaves sold into the palace, and they belonged to the palace for life and death. None of them could read. Of course, they believed that literacy was something only aristocrats and officials should have. What was the use of a slave knowing how to read?
Hua Xiyu completely lost interest in making friends with them. Now that she has A Tu as her companion, she doesn't need any other friends for the time being.
For Hua Xiyu, raising horses is a simple and rough job that is not worth learning at all. Horses do not need to be washed every day. She gets up early every morning and directs Ah Tu to fetch water before other horse herders arrive. She prepares water for the two of them for the day and never lets those rough and stupid men pollute the water before fetching water.
Feeding horses is not a technical job. You just need to cut the feed and mix it evenly, then put it in the trough on time and add feed again before going to bed. The day's work is done and the rest of the time is free.
The most urgent task, the most urgent one, is to renovate the bathroom. Based on the principle of sewage classification treatment, she quickly drew the blueprint of the septic tank. Looking at the boy who was jumping happily, she thought, haha, there is no need to feel sorry for such a good labor force.
"A Tu, come here," she called out to A Tu.
"Big Brother" A Tu took the drawing in confusion and looked at his big brother with a bewildered face.
"This is a blueprint of a septic tank. Dig holes in the squares. It has to be at least 1 meter deep. Oh, no, 1.5 meters. It can only be deeper, not shallower." There probably weren't high-pressure pumps for emptying feces in ancient times, so the septic tanks had to be made bigger, the kind that wouldn't need to be emptied for at least ten years.
Ah Tu understood, but was also confused, "Big...Big...Big Brother, how deep is 1 meter?" He had to ask, because if he dug the wrong way, who would be responsible?
"Oh," Hua Xiyu didn't react for a moment. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly understood, "One meter is more than three feet, so you have to dig about five feet deep, understand?"
A Tu took the septic tank drawing, looked at it from left to right, and finally decided to ask his senior brother for advice.
"What is this?" Gu Wuhuan looked at the blueprint like Ah Tu, but couldn't understand it. Liu Jingcheng sat on the couch and couldn't figure it out either. "Why did she dig a hole?"
"I don't know," I asked, but the eldest brother didn't say. Ah Tu felt so wronged. What did the resentful look of the senior brother mean? The eldest brother refused to say, so what could I do?
"Then dig it for her according to her request." No matter what she wants to do, she can't do anything in this palace.
So A Tu returned with the blueprint. About ten meters away from the house, Hua Xiyu marked out an area for A Tu, and A Tu went to find someone to dig the hole.
It took several people less than an hour to dig an extra-large septic tank that would not need to be emptied for ten years.
Hua Xiyu took a look and was very satisfied. She took out another drawing and asked, "A Tu, is there a master who can make this?"
A Tu stood in front of Liu Jingcheng holding the blueprint, looking helpless.
Gu Wuhuan took the blueprint, but couldn't understand it no matter how hard he looked at it.
"What is this?" Gu Wuhuan asked.
"I don't know, my elder brother asked me to do it," A Tu said truthfully.
"Big brother?" Liu Jingcheng was silent, as if there was no more suitable title. Then he said, "There seems to be a Li's kiln shop at the west end of the city. They should be able to make it. Go and make it for him. Make whatever he wants for her," Liu Jingcheng instructed.
A day later, A Tu came back with the finished elbow.
Hua Xiyu never thought that he could actually make it. With the odor-isolating elbow, is a modern bathroom far away?
The toilet could not be made, but a squat toilet should be possible. So I struck while the iron was hot and quickly drew the blueprint for Ah Tu, telling him to do it as soon as possible, as he had already reached the limit of his patience for the important matter of going to the toilet.
The next afternoon, A Tu brought back a fired squat toilet. Since the palace wanted something, they had to make it as soon as possible even if they were not paid, not to mention the generous reward.
Manager Lin helped to find a bricklayer, and under Hua Xiyu's command, he installed a squat toilet, installed the elbow, laid the stone slabs, and found a large wooden barrel to put on the roof. He opened a small hole in the bottom of the barrel and asked A Tu to make a section of iron pipe and a shower head. After all these were installed, a simple shower bathroom was built.
It seems that this is a plumber, an electrician, and a mason. All joints are wrapped with plastic bags to act as sealing rings. There will be a little water seepage at the beginning, but it will stop leaking soon because the water has no pressure.
Hua Xiyu was very satisfied with the bathroom that was thousands of years ahead of the ancients. Although it looked unsatisfactory in every way, she felt that this was heaven.
Humph, there is nothing I can't do. Even though it's ancient times, you can still enjoy modern life if you do it yourself.
A Tu made all the things himself and watched them being installed one by one, but he didn't know what they were used for.
Hua Xiyu stood in the bathroom, smiling smugly. This was the most important thing. How could she go to such a primitive bathroom like those men? Which modern person could tolerate having a urinal or chamber pot in the room?
"Brother, what is this?" Ah Tu was really curious when he saw her smiling brightly. He felt uncomfortable as if thousands of bugs were crawling in his heart. If he didn't solve this doubt, he would have a hard time living.
"The bathroom!" Hua Xiyu's tone was full of contempt, and the whole room was filled with the thought "It's so obvious and you don't even know it?" Where had Ah Tu ever seen such a modern bathroom?
"What is this bathroom used for?" Ah Tu, such a silly boy.
"Oh," Hua Xiyu came back to her senses, "this bathroom is a place for bathing, going to the toilet, washing face and brushing teeth." She thought this was the simplest, and thought of the modern luxurious bathroom, that was what comfort was.
A Tu was depressed. He knew how to take a bath, go to the toilet, wash his face and brush his teeth. However, he didn't understand how to do all these things in a "bathroom".
Unable to imagine what it would feel like to wash face and brush teeth in the toilet, Ah Tu was confused and too embarrassed to ask. After all, the eldest brother was a girl, so he decided to ask his senior brother about such a private question.
Hua Xiyu didn't have time to care about Ah Tu's thoughts. She had a lot of things to do. After solving the big problem of the toilet, she swapped the positions of the horse shed and the carriage parking lot in front of the door. In this way, the stench of horse manure at the door was immediately reduced. She asked Ah Tu to clean diligently and clean her own stable very well every day. Now there is basically no smell in this small house. When next spring comes and she plants some flowers and trees, she will really be able to live on.
The next step is to lay the floor. You can choose to use bluestone slabs directly or go to a brick kiln to make ceramic tiles.
