Happy Farmer's Life

During dinner, the village chief asked Du Weiming to have dinner with him at his house, but Du Weiming didn't go.I'm not interested in those high officials. Du Weiming is afraid that he won't be able to swallow some polite words.Du Weiming refused on the grounds that there were still wounded at home to take care of.

The bed and quilt were delivered by the village head in the afternoon. Du Weiming and Zhou Wen finally tidied up the room after a lot of tossing.One bed was placed by the window and the other by the wall.After the quilt was neatly folded, Du Weiming specially brought an empty box from his room.I took some benches and so on, but they were arranged in a decent way.

Du Weiming originally thought that his followers would live in his house, but he didn't expect that Beijing official named Chen Fu would live in his house.Du Weiming was puzzled, the village chief's house seemed to be better than his own, so why did he come here to live? !

When the guests arrived at the house, Du Weiming couldn't drive them out of the door, besides, he himself promised the village chief.Du Weiming still greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Village Chief, is this adult going to live here?"

"Li Er, you have to take good care of Mr. Chen, we have to rely on Mr. Chen's help this time..."

"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Master Chen."

The village chief felt that Li Er was a very clever young man, although he usually didn't talk much, but he was able to get through a little bit.Chen Fu didn't feel much about the village chief's explanation.Although I understand that the village has provided the best conditions for hospitality, but of course there is no way to compare with Kyoto.It's better to dig the well quickly, complete the task and go back to Beijing.

"Master Chen, please go this way. The room on the far right is your house. Let's see what else is missing." Zhou Wen led Chen Fu and others to their room.

The guests always want to entertain the guests when they arrive at home, and there is nothing to eat at home, so Du Weiming thought about making some tea.He was not willing to use Jingyuan's tea set.Jingyuan's tea set was bought at a huge price, he likes it very much, he uses it every day, it seems like a rare treasure.After thinking about it for a while, Du Weiming took out the ordinary tea set he bought in the town last time, and made a pot of mint tea.

Du Weiming was really ready to carry it over, and Zhou Wen came over.

"Master, you go first, I'll take it over. This is hot."

"Okay, then you should be careful."

"Master Chen, there is no good tea at home, you just drink it."

The fragrance of mint has gradually permeated, and Chen Fu is somewhat interested.The attendant poured him a glass.

"Master, please have some tea."

Chen Fu took a sip. It wasn't a good tea, but it had a special flavor.

"What kind of tea is this?"

"Master, this is mint tea."

"Peppermint tea? It's the first time I drink it. Well, it's not bad." This tea is much better than the village head's.Chen Fu held the teacup and nodded.

"This is home-grown mint. You can make it as you pick it. It's not as good as the tea Mr. Chen usually drinks. It makes you laugh."

"Each has its own merits, and this mint tea is also very good."

Chen Fu is finally a little happy, it seems that choosing to live here temporarily is still the right choice.This Li Er looked young, but he was calm and calm, and he didn't look like he was following others, and he was neither humble nor overbearing when he saw himself.The village head's family is worse, seeing myself makes me nervous.

The village head talked with him for a while, then took his leave and left.When leaving, he secretly pulled Du Weiming on. "Li Er, you should prepare more water for Mr. Chen to wash up. I will bring you some water tomorrow. It will be fine when the well is dug."

"Uncle Village Chief, I know. I'll boil water and send it to Mr. Chen later."

"Li Er, you are quite good at doing things. Mr. Chen, please treat him well."

"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, I know."

The village head gave some detailed instructions and left.Du Weiming wanted to boil water for them to wash, but Zhou Wen refused.Why should his young master serve that Mr. Chen?

"Master, you're tired after a long day of work. I'll boil the water, so you go and rest."

"Zhou Wen, you still have injuries on your body, I'll just burn it."

"That injury has healed soon. Young master, go and see Wang Wu, I'll boil the water."

Du Weiming agreed after thinking about it.After entering the room and talking to Mr. Chen, he went to see Wang Wu.Part of Wang Wu's wound has healed.Du Weiming changed Wang Wu's medicine, and also said that Mr. Chen would stay at home temporarily.Du Weiming never regarded Zhou Wen and Wang Wu as servants.I will talk to them and discuss with them about anything.Wang Wu didn't seem to have a big reaction to this, and he didn't express any surprise at Master Chen's arrival.Would be surprised if it didn't come.

After changing the medicine, Zhou Wen was decocting medicine for Wang Wu.I have been taking this medicine for several days, and I have to continue to take it until Wang Wu's injuries are all healed.The pigeons don't have time to stew today, let's talk about it tomorrow.After a lot of work, it was already an hour later than usual when Du Weiming went to bed.Hey, today is really a busy day.Mr. Chen explained that he will have to find a place tomorrow. Wells are not dug casually. If you want to dig a well, you have to find the right place first.Looks like tomorrow will continue to be busy.I hope the well will be dug soon.I fell asleep thinking about it.

Just as the cock crowed, Du Weiming woke up.It seems that after coming to this place, Du Weiming has never slept in.In fact, the original Du Weiming's biggest hobby was sleeping in. In the past, the family conditions were not good, and he couldn't sleep in several times a year.But since coming to this era, it hasn't happened once.Every day is busy, sighed in bed, and then got up.Du Weiming had already heard movement outside.

Pushing open the door, I didn't expect that Mr. Chen had already got up.Du Weiming was a little surprised.

"Master Chen, morning."

"Li Er, good morning."

"How was your rest last night?"

"Pretty good." In fact, Chen Fu was not used to the quilts and beds here, but he could already see that they were the best.Although the conditions in the capital are mediocre, they are much better than those in this backcountry.

Chen Fu's entourage cut off the water for him to wash up, and Du Weiming also rinsed his mouth and washed his face.Mouthwashing is another place Du Weiming is not used to. He is used to toothbrush and toothpaste. When he comes here, Du Weiming can only rinse his mouth. If he has time, he will invent this toothbrush and toothpaste. It is still very painful for Du Weiming to not be able to brush his teeth. .

I don't know if Chen Fu and the others want to have breakfast at home, Du Weiming didn't have the nerve to ask.After thinking about it, let's prepare more, in case they eat breakfast at their own home, they will be in trouble if they don't prepare.

Presumably they were not used to brown rice, so Du Weiming cooked more white rice porridge.I still drank brown rice porridge with Zhou Wen, and put some mung beans in the porridge.Now that the weather is hot, mung beans go to the fire.If you cook more porridge, you don't have to cook lunch.It seemed a bit stingy to only drink porridge, so Du Weiming decided to make some cakes.Cornmeal, two eggs are added in it very extravagantly. Today's pancakes are still fried with olive oil, which is very fragrant.

"Master, the pancakes you made today seem to be very delicious."

"Zhou Wen, you're amazing. Look, I'll let you eat a special tortilla today."

"Haha, it looks like I'm lucky today." Chen Fu walked into the kitchen while talking.

"Master Chen, why are you in the kitchen? Please go to the next door to rest. Breakfast will be ready soon." Chen Fu took his entourage to the middle room to rest.Du Weiming hurriedly made pancakes, and made about a dozen pancakes. Each pancake was small, thin, golden on both sides, and exuded a strong fragrance.In fact, the method of this tortilla is different from ordinary pancakes. It is crispy and fragrant after being fried in oil.

Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to serve porridge, and he found some side dishes.Olive vegetables, sweet Ze olives, cold wild vegetables.It can't look too shabby.

Du Weiming took Wang Wu's share of the past. Wang Wu is much better now, but he can't get out of bed for the time being, but he can already eat by himself, and he should be able to get out of bed and move around in a few days.Let Wang Wu eat carefully, and he will come to collect the bowl after eating.

While eating breakfast, the village chief came.It turned out that the village chief invited Chen Fu to have breakfast.Chen Fu said that he would eat at Li Er's house, but he couldn't go there.The village chief said goodbye first.Talk about a good meal and go to the village to find a suitable place to dig a well together.

After breakfast, Du Weiming, the village chief, Chen Fu and others searched for a suitable place to dig a well in the village.It can be seen that Chen Fu still admires Du Weiming, and the two chatted from time to time along the way.

"Li Er, do you know why your first place didn't work?"

Du Weiming actually thought about it, but he couldn't prove it. "Is it because it's too close to the river?"

"That's right. Although it's near the river, there must be water underground, but the soil is usually relatively humid, so you have to be very careful when digging a well. This is a test of your well-digging skills." One of the places Chen Fu chose was the mountain behind the village. In front of me, there is a muddy field not far away.Du Weiming didn't know why he chose to be here.Chen Fu explained to him.

"If you want to dig a spring, you must first look for favorable conditions for the spring. Generally speaking, there are six conditions for the spring. One is to find the existence of a structural fracture zone. The second is medium-thin layered sedimentary rock. The third is The landform is in a low-lying area. The fourth is the confluence of the low-lying places between two ridges. The fifth is to look for the muddy fields that already have springs. The sixth is that there are abundant groundwater resources.

Springs can only be dug if two or more of these six conditions are met. "

This place is relatively low-lying, and there are mud fields not far away. Du Weiming hasn't figured out the rest, and Chen Fu didn't explain further.In fact, the previous explanation is already a lot of talk. He usually doesn't talk much. If everyone understands this thing, he won't have to make a living.

I searched for suitable places in the village all day long, and temporarily designated three places, which Chen Fu had already marked.When the county magistrate transports the bluestone and other things to the place, the well can be dug.
