Chapter 633 Good wine is strong enough
Xiao Haiyou expressed doubts about the mud bricks, but didn't ask anything. He just said: "Okay, there aren't that many stones to use for the time being. When the natural disaster is over, the brick kiln in Pearl City should be able to open. Then we can buy some bricks."
Build the city lord’s palace.”
Shui Ling shook his head, "No, just mud bricks, just listen to me."
"Yes." Seeing her insistence, Xiao Haiyou immediately did not dare to question.
Shui Ling looked at him, "Where is the place to put the materials?"
"Ah... this way." Xiao Haiyou immediately led the way.
His home was built when he was a pirate. It is the best stone house here. It has a large yard and a wall.
Shuiling took out things like adhesives and told Xiao Haiyou the proportions.
Xiao Haiyou wrote down carefully, "I know, I will definitely do it well."
Shui Ling nodded, "I have tiles and the like. We use nails for the beams. This saves a lot of effort."
"Nail? Nail for driving horseshoes?" Xiao Haiyou was very confused. What can that kind of thing be used for?
Shui Ling was speechless and took out various types of nails, "Look, this is it."
Xiao Haiyou had never seen these before and asked: "Can this fix the beams?"
Shui Ling didn't want to demonstrate, so he said, "You will know when the time comes. There are other tools."
"Okay..." Xiao Haiyou swallowed up a bunch of questions and didn't dare to ask any more.
Shui Ling thought for a moment and said, "Remember to cut down the trees. The beams should be exposed to the sun for a long time."
"Yes, I understand this." Xiao Haiyou finally found his confidence.
Shui Ling felt that there was nothing to explain, so he said: "There is nothing to explain, you should work."
"Yes!" Xiao Haiyou immediately went to greet people to continue building the tent.
Now everyone is used to eating two meals a day, so now it’s past noon but it’s not time to eat yet.
Shui Ling went to the lake to take a look and found that the waterproofing was quite good and could allow water to be discharged.
She went directly to the cave and checked the gate. The quick-drying cement at the gate had completely solidified. She dug out the soil blocking the gate and slowly opened the gate.
The water flow gradually increases from the thickness of a fist to the thickness of a leg. The gate cannot be fully opened at once, otherwise the impact of the water flow will be strong and the gate may be destroyed.
She walked along the waterway and watched the water flow down.
When we arrived outside the cave, the water that was as thick as our legs was only as thick as our wrists. After falling from a high altitude, it was almost like the water coming out of a tap.
It was impossible to fill the pond with such a flow of water. Shuiling went back to see that there was nothing wrong with the gate, and began to slowly increase the water flow. After an hour, he opened the gate to the maximum.
But soon she closed the gate by a third, and when it was opened to the maximum, the water flow was so powerful that she could only open it to the top again by lowering the water level here.
After waiting for a while, she felt that she could let go of the situation, so she went to the entrance of the cave. The water flowing down was still not strong, but it was much better than the water pipe.
After she went down the mountain, she found Bai Rui and others looking up at the lake.
Shui Ling opened her mouth to ask, but a stream of water mist hit her face, and she covered it with her hand.
It turned out that when the water fell down, it was blown away by the wind and turned into mist. Now the air is even more humid.
It is not possible to continue like this, it will waste a lot of water, not to mention waterfalls and small flows.
She quickly went up the mountain, blocked the water outlet, and then released water when the water channel in the mountain was full.
Moreover, in the early stage, only thick bamboo tubes could be used as water pipes to collect the water and pour it into the lake.
The waterfall will form naturally over time, so there is no need to rush.
After taking care of the water pipe problem on the mountain, Shuiling returned down the mountain tiredly and saw that it was almost five o'clock.
The smell of food wafted down the mountain, but no one had eaten, and some children were crying from hunger.
Shui Ling looked at them in surprise and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
Bai Rui and Xiao Haiyou looked at each other, and Xiao Haiyou said naively: "You said we would eat together, aren't we all waiting for you?"
Shui Ling said quickly: "Eat quickly, eat."
She felt very warm in her heart. Anyone who is willing to wait for her to eat puts herself in a very high position. It is a kind of respect from the heart.
In fact, I was originally worried that the people here would look down upon me because I was a little girl, and would at most be a favor to someone else, but now it seems that I am overly worried.
Everyone started to prepare the meal. When the fish, meat, and game were served, Shuiling was a little confused. It turned out that they were boiled in plain water and added with a little salt.
"Isn't there any other seasoning for this?"
Bai Rui shook his head, "We don't have much seasoning here. We usually just catch the seafood and cook it."
Shui Ling nodded and followed the local customs, so she would just eat like this.
Because everyone is watching me, they won’t use their chopsticks if I don’t eat.
Shuiling bravely picked up a piece of shark meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and quickly swallowed it.
It's very elastic, but chewing it feels like eating rubber. Besides the salty taste, it also has a fishy smell.
To be honest, I really couldn’t eat it, but everyone else was eating happily and seemed to think it was good to have something to eat.
Bai Rui brought a bowl of boiled eggs with crab roe, placed it in front of Shui Ling, and said with a smile: "The city lord will eat this."
Shuiling smiled gratefully, "Thank you."
Bai Rui didn't say anything and sat down quietly.
Xiao Haiyou's face was red. Fortunately, there were only four of them at the table. Gao Qiang was the boss, opening his cheeks and eating loudly.
Shui Ling took out the wine barrel and said, "Drink the wine here. It's a bit strong. Don't drink too much."
Bai Rui and Xiao Haiyou looked at each other and stood up immediately. As a result, Gao Qiang grabbed him and threw him on the barrel, hugging him, "Don't even try to snatch it from me. Let me take the first sip of the meat I brought back from hunting."
Xiao Haiyou and Bai Rui looked at each other, and they rushed over to pull Gao Qiang away. However, Gao Qiang was a master after all, and they couldn't grab him at all.
Shui Ling smiled and said: "Stop making trouble, I spilled it but I can't take a sip."
Only then did the three of them calm down. One was holding the wine barrel, one was opening the lid, and the other was waiting with the water ladle. There was a clear division of labor.
Gao Qiang pulled out the wooden stopper on the lid, and the aroma of wine filled the air. All the men stopped using their chopsticks and started to sniff.
Xiao Haiyou held the bucket and poured the wine out, and Bai Rui followed carefully.
This wine barrel is one meter high and half a meter in diameter. All men can have a taste of it.
Bai Rui took half the scoop and took a sip. Then he closed his eyes and praised: "Good wine, quite strong."
Gao Qiang was anxious and reached out to grab it, but he was afraid of spilling it, so he could only grab the water ladle and take a sip.
"Wow, that's good. This is wine."
Xiao Haiyou gritted his teeth and put the wine barrel firmly before reaching out to take the water ladle and took a sip. He almost squirted and quickly covered his mouth with his hands. It took him a long time to recover.
"Is this wine? Then what I drank before turned into horse urine?"
Shui Ling watched them making trouble, and suddenly felt like he was the boss of the cottage.
