"Be careful, don't knock the tank!" Several craftsmen were lifting a large water tank to a high platform, and Li Xiu shouted loudly below. In fact, without saying that, several craftsmen were also very careful, stepping on the steps and carrying the water tank to the platform and put it down, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Li, other people's water tanks are placed in the kitchen, but why do you have to put the water tank in the air? It's too inconvenient to draw water?" At this moment, an old craftsman with a gray beard came over and asked.

The old craftsman's surname is Qiao. He is the oldest carpenter in the Princess's Mansion and is also one of the managers of the Princess' Mansion. He is good at building houses and furniture. When Li Xiu built a wheelchair for Princess Pingyang, he was the main participant. This time, Li Xiu built a house, and Old Carpenter Qiao also led the overall situation. Li Xiu told him any requests.

"Haha, why did you forget, Manager Qiao? Didn't I tell you before that you need to build a special toilet and a bathroom. Both of them need to be water. This water tank is used for storing water. Then a hole is drilled under it and then connected with the opened bamboo. It will be very convenient when using water!" Li Xiu explained with a smile.

The water in this water tank is mainly flushing the toilet and taking a bath. Especially when the weather is hot in summer, the water in the water tank will easily get heated up. In this way, there is no need to burn the bath water, just flush it in the bathroom. It is very convenient. As for the water you eat, you still use the water tank in the kitchen. After all, using bamboo as a water pipe, it is easy to breed a lot of bacteria inside, which is not suitable for drinking frequently, but taking a bath is still OK.

"How to transport the water up? Can you get a bucket of buckets up?" Manager Qiao asked another question.

"This is also easy to solve. Look at the well below the high platform. Then set up a hook on the high platform and lift the water bucket directly from the well to the top." Li Xiu explained with a smile. When designing the position of the high platform, he had already considered it very carefully.

"So that's it. Mr. Li is really a talented man. I admire him!" Old Carpenter Qiao also bowed to Li Xiu with admiration. During this period, he learned a lot of things with Li Xiu, and some things he had never heard of. He even reported to Mr. Ma that he planned to renovate the Princess Villa after helping Li Xiu build the house. After all, some things designed by Li Xiu are too convenient.

After understanding Li Xiu's intention, Old Carpenter Qiao immediately started to act. There was a bamboo forest behind the yard, and there were special carpenters who knew how to open up bamboo joints. As for the bamboo interface, it was a bit troublesome and it was easy to leak water, but it was not difficult for them to do it. Even wooden barrels with wooden boards can be made without leaking. The bamboo tubes can also do this when they are in their hands.

Looking at the busy craftsmen, Li Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and then walked around the newly built yard. The buildings in the yard have actually been almost completed, and even the wells have been dug. Now there are only some supporting facilities left, such as part of the water supply system just now, and there is also a sewage system, which is actually a sewer.

Thinking of the sewer, Li Xiu left the yard and saw that not far from the yard, another group of craftsmen were busy digging trenches. After the trenches were dug, they would smash them with stone piers and then build the sewer with blue bricks. Because the new yard is a little far from the river, the sewer construction project was a bit large in the past. Fortunately, there was a wild pond not far from Li Xiu's house, and the terrain was relatively low. It just happened to build the sewer there. The little domestic sewage discharged in his home can be completely purified by the pond's self-purification ability.

The craftsmen who work hard all work hard, mainly because Li Xiu paid a lot. After all, twice the wages were not always encountered. Moreover, Li Xiu was generous in food. Not only could he eat enough, but he would occasionally have meat in the meal. People at this time were relatively simple. Since the master was so generous, they naturally felt embarrassed not to work hard when working.

Looking at the hardworking craftsmen, Li Xiu nodded with satisfaction. He was about to turn around and go back, but at this moment, he suddenly saw one of the craftsmen who was about forty or fifty years old, with a pale face and no need to be thin. The shovels in his hands kept flying when other craftsmen were working, and they could dig a long ditch in a short while. However, he dug a little while working, and was so tired that he was panting. He looked like a worker.

"Where did this guy come from? Could it be that he was trampling in to cheat his wages?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say to himself when he saw the white-faced guy, but he did not immediately go up to ask the other party, but planned to ask Manager Qiao later. After all, he arranged the people, so he would handle it better.

"It's time to eat!" At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the yard. It's already noon. In the Tang Dynasty, many poor people were used to eating only two meals a day, but the craftsmen did the hard work, so from the beginning, Li Xiu told the manager to cook at noon and only have the strength to work after they are full.

As soon as he heard about eating, the craftsmen who were originally working ran into the yard with a "huh" sound and threw the tools all over the floor. However, what surprised Li Xiu was that the middle-aged man with white flour who was unable to work did not go to eat immediately, but stayed to pick up all the tools thrown by the craftsmen and arranged them neatly. At this time, he also saw Li Xiu, and immediately bowed to him humbly, and then entered the yard to have a meal.

Seeing the middle-aged man's performance, Li Xiu couldn't help but become curious. He followed him into the yard. There was a specially made mud stove in one corner of the yard. The firewood below was burning strongly. The water in the pot kept rolling. On the pot was a unique rack of red date wood, which looked like a small bed. A chef was struggling to press a lever-like thing on the rack. There was a wooden barrel under the lever, and there were many fine holes at the bottom of the tube. As the ball inside the wooden barrel was squeezed, it turned into noodles and squeezed out from the fine holes at the bottom of the tube, and then fell into the pot and was cooked.

The stuff on the pot is called 黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑�

In addition, the squeak noodles are squeezed and the speed is very fast, which is very suitable for such a multi-person meal. The only problem is that the size of the squeak bed is not very convenient to carry, otherwise it is very suitable for military promotion.

Li Xiu is from the north and likes to eat noodles since he was a child. Now he has taken a big bowl of sea bowl. People who work have a lot of appetite and use bowls like small basins, so they are called sea bowls. Li Xiu is at the age of growing up and has a large bowl of noodles. The braised rice is made of pork sauce. It is fragrant and stirred with white noodles, and it looks like it has an appetite.

Li Xiu found a place to sit down and prepare to eat, but suddenly he thought of the white-faced middle-aged man he had just seen. He looked up and saw him in the crowd soon. However, the craftsmen working in groups were sitting together with bowls and eating together. The middle-aged man nodded and bowed and was busy in the crowd, holding water and handing towels, and was very flattering to the group of craftsmen.

However, what surprised Li Xiu was that the middle-aged man was so pleased with the people around him, but the craftsmen seemed to be not very grateful. Whether he brought the water or handed the towel, someone would occasionally take it, but his face was not very good-looking. Most people didn't even look at him, let alone take it. Some bad tempers pushed him away even rudely. As a result, he almost fell down when he staggered and the water was spilled all over, but he was not angry at all, and there was still a humble smile on his face, as if he didn't know what anger was.

People in Guanzhong like to eat noodles and eat raw garlic. I don’t know when this trend will arise. Anyway, Li Xiu can’t stand the taste of raw garlic and raw onions the most, but craftsmen all like it. There are baskets of garlic on the side of the pot. The craftsmen who serve noodles will pick up a head of garlic and eat it while peeling it. If there is not enough, they can get it.

The middle-aged man had great vision and noticed this point at this time. Regardless of the dislike of others, he ran over to the garlic baskets and delivered them to the craftsmen one by one. However, no one answered him, but many people scolded him for putting the garlic back. Seeing that he was angry with the public, the middle-aged man finally did not dare to show his attention and put the garlic basket back with a embarrassed expression.

It was probably because of the above lesson that the middle-aged man finally came to be honest and took a bowl to serve noodles, but the chef glared at him, scaring the middle-aged man so much that he didn't dare to approach. Then the chef signaled him to put the bowl on the stove, then he used a spoon to serve half a bowl of noodles, and scooped some braised rice, then rushed him away with impatient look.

Faced with the disgust of the chef, the middle-aged man smiled more and more humblely. After nodding and thanking the chef, he then took his bowl and prepared to find a place to eat. He looked like he wanted to squeeze together like other craftsmen, but no matter where he squeezed, he would be driven out by the craftsmen and even scolded him.

Even if he was scolded, the middle-aged man always had a smile on his face, but Li Xiu in the distance could see that in addition to being humble, his smile also had an indescribable sense of pity. In the end, the middle-aged man had to squat in a corner alone, lowering his head and eating his own noodles.

"Manager Qiao, who is the white-faced middle-aged man in that corner? Why does it seem like everyone is disgusting him?" Li Xiu finally couldn't help asking Manager Qiao when he saw this.
