Chapter 39 The most convenient way to burn bamboo charcoal

Shen Youyou quickly stopped her grandmother. Brother Dabao was very obedient and worked efficiently. Why did he get beaten?

"Granny, what are you doing? You don't understand. I am filtering water. The water becomes clear when it flows out of this bamboo tube."

Old Lady Hua looked down at the flowing water and pointed: "You call this clear? It looks more yellow to me."

"It's okay. It was yellow at first. Brother Dabao, pour the yellow water back into the upper sink and connect a new bucket."

Then he said to grandma, "Just go back and forth a few more times and it will become clear."

The old lady had an expression that said: Why don’t I believe it?

Shen Youyou said helplessly: "Do you know why my father told you that the water can't be drunk? Because there are a lot of small bugs in it, which means that there are a lot of eggs or parasites in the water. After drinking it, you will have diarrhea, that is, dysentery.

And you know, there are animals peeing in the wild fields. Think about it, is the water drinkable?

This device is designed to filter out those parasites, it filters out the things that make us sick, and the water becomes clean.”

Old Lady Hua looked at Shen Youyou with an expression that said, "You are kidding me, I'm a fool." She said, "You made such a mess that the water is even dirtier than before."

Other old ladies: Yes, we also feel it is dirtier.

Shen Youyou was speechless and couldn't explain it clearly to these old ladies.

At this time, Shen Zhiqiu came over and asked, "What's wrong? What are you all doing standing here?"

"Go take a look at your daughter. She's fiddling with things all day long." The old lady turned her head away angrily.

Shen Zhiqiu came over to check it out: "Isn't this done well?"

The old lady turned around angrily and looked at San'er, thinking: You spoil your child to no end, and this time you are so blind that you don't see the water she is splashing... huh?

"Why does the water feel a little clearer?" Old Mrs. Hua couldn't help but mutter.

When the others heard this, they all looked at the flowing water: it seemed to be getting clearer.

Shen Youyou instructed her eldest brother to pour the bucket back.

The dirty yellow water seeped out bit by bit through the gaps between the fine sand, charcoal and stones.

Everyone said at the same time: It is indeed a little clearer now.

"I thought I was seeing things?"

It was the third time, and the water had become much clearer. Shen Youyou asked her brother to pour it back. By the fourth time, the water had become especially clear.

"Hey! Look at this water, it's cleaner than the well water in our village." Old Mrs. Fang screamed in surprise.

Filtered water is definitely cleaner than water drawn directly from the well.

"It's really strange. It's cleaner than the well water in our village."

Grandpa Shen took the water bowl and scooped out a bowl of water, which was free of impurities. "You old woman are always jumpy. I have long told you that you have a job to do, and you can't mess around with it."

Old Lady Hua rolled her eyes at her old man and said, "You are the only one who can be a good person."

Shen Mazi went forward to check: "This means that if we pour water into this device in the future, clean water will always flow out?"

Shen Zhiqiu nodded: "But it's best not to drink it directly. Raw water is not good for our health. It's best to boil it and drink it cold.

Our journey of escaping famine is already difficult, so we must not make ourselves sick for the sake of saving trouble, and we must strive to reach the northern border in good health."

The local tyrant of Shenjia Village said, "Listen to Xiao Sanzi, no one should be lazy, boil the water."

The children were even more excited, because these were the stones they had picked up!

The boys and girls also had smiles on their faces. Even Brother Dabao, who was slapped in the face, was in a good mood. For the first time, they felt that what they had done actually had such great significance.

Just this filter can allow everyone to drink clean water.

Shen Zhiqiu continued, "I saw that the well was dug eight or nine meters deep and there was water. We can all use the filtered water to wash. I bought a lot of fragrant soap in the county town.

Rub the mud hard and keep it clean as long as possible. If you are injured, you should disinfect it with alcohol immediately after taking a bath.

You can wash without any worries, and you won't waste any water. We are making a water filtering device to filter the bath water again.

Then boil it for the animals to drink, but don't use a pot to boil the water, use a bamboo tube directly."

No matter what age a woman is, she always loves beauty.

My uncle's mother, Mrs. Wang, held Mrs. Hua's arm and said:

"Sister, how come Yoyo is so smart? He's rubbing corn, steaming wine, making straw hats, and filtering water. We've never heard of any of these."

Old Mrs. Hua now looked embarrassed: she had wronged her granddaughter, but luckily she had restrained herself and did not hit her. As for her eldest grandson, what was there to be afraid of if he was beaten by a big guy? He was very tough.

Li Jingshu also looked at her daughter with a smile on her face. It was really not in vain that she spent the money on rewarding the anchor, and the survival activities in the wild were not in vain.

Shen Youyou pulled her mother and mysteriously took out something called four thick bamboo tubes tied together. She showed her mother that the bottom of the four bamboo tubes were all filled with small holes.

"See, bamboo shower head?"

Li Jingshu: "Why are you doing this? You have to add water to it yourself. You can just use a wooden basin to wash it."

"Can we have a little bit of ceremony? Besides, how long is your hair now? Can you wash it in a basin?"

Just when Shen Youyou was being dragged away by Li Jingshu,

Shen Zhiqiu was still bragging to others: "Yes, she's smart. She's always liked me to read to her since she was little. She can remember a lot of things that I've forgotten, haha!

Well, this is another way to tell me, we all know charcoal, right? "

"Those things are used by you guys in the city. We in the village all go up the mountain to chop firewood. Have you forgotten?"

Shen Tietou thought to himself, Grandpa Shen's eldest grandson has never spent money to buy charcoal for heating. There are a lot of wood in the mountains, so you can just cut it.

“I didn’t forget. I just told you that a very important part of filtering water is to use charcoal or bamboo charcoal.

There are so many bamboos, let's cut more and make them in advance. This bamboo charcoal can not only filter water and be used for heating, but also act as a desiccant.

After we have cooked it, we can divide it into bundles with cloth and put it in the grain bag to remove moisture and prevent the grain from getting moldy. "

When this was said, everyone was excited. They could make something that could be sold for money, and the key was that it could also prevent the food from getting damp.

You know, their corn is packed into bags without being dried in the sun, and the most feared thing is that it will get moldy.

What are the most important things when fleeing from famine? Without a doubt, food and water, and now both of them require charcoal.

What else is there to say? It's just cutting bamboo. If they all work hard, they can cut down the entire bamboo forest!

Shen Zhiqiu said: That’s not the case. Even if we cut them all down and burn them into charcoal, we can’t take them away.

Most people went to cut bamboo, and Shen Zhiqiu asked his eldest brother and fourth brother to help him dig a big pit.

As for Shen Youyou, the bamboo shower head is quite easy to use. Just hang the shower head in the bamboo house. You can wash without worry.

The bamboo tube is quite large and can hold a lot of water. The only drawback is that you have to add water with a ladle after washing for a while.

Shen Youyou has finished washing and now feels much more refreshed.

You know what, the soap her father bought was scented with jasmine, and it smells really good when used to wash hair.

Several sisters sniffed at her: This smells so good!
