Li Xiang looked back at his house. It was not too far away, only about 150 meters. He decided to lead the sweet and clear mountain spring water to his backyard.
Build a reservoir there with endless water. No matter cooking, washing clothes, bathing, etc., you don't have to worry about water.
Isn't this better than tap water?
Li Xiang returned home and told his grandmother. His grandmother was also very happy. She didn't have to fetch water in the future. It's good to have her grandson back.
"Grandma, when I build this reservoir, we will move the kitchen to the backyard, and the small tile house in front will be transformed into a storage room."
"Okay, okay, everything is up to my grandson!" Grandma smiled.
Since Li Xiang was busy renovating the backyard, the cooking was handed over to grandma.
Grandma ate the first-level exotic grass purple gold giant matsutake, her body became better, and cooking was a piece of cake.
Li Xiang first found three large water tanks at home. They were of different heights and sizes, but the smallest one could hold more than 300 kilograms of water, and the largest one could hold 700 kilograms. The three large tanks were connected from high to low through "waterfall cascading", making a water reservoir that was more than enough to meet daily needs.
But if you want to make "waterfall cascading", you need to open an opening at the appropriate position of the water tank, either on the edge of the tank or on the body of the tank. Otherwise, there will be no "vent" and the water will just overflow "wantonly".
"It's just that I lack a cutter. Although I can knock out a gap, it will be ugly. Maybe I will accidentally break the whole water tank. Forget it, I'd better wait a little longer and go to the county town to buy some tools when I have time."
Li Xiang laid out the water tanks one by one, put them aside, and then took a hatchet and a saw to go to the mountain to cut bamboo.
Bamboo is hollow. Split it in the middle and then open the diaphragm at the node to make a good natural water pipe.
The bamboos on the hill behind Li Xiang's home are often more than 10 centimeters in diameter, or even more than 20 centimeters in diameter, and are nearly 20 meters long. If the thin part at the top is sawed off, the usable part is at least 15 meters. After splitting it, one bamboo becomes two bamboos, and cutting ten bamboos should be enough. The relatively
thin part at the top can be used as a bracket.
The "bamboo water pipe" can't be placed on the ground. It is more stable to use a bracket. He plans to make the bracket about 1.5 to 80 centimeters. According to the specific terrain, there is a gentle slope to ensure that the water can flow smoothly to the water tank.
The largest water tank is exactly 80 centimeters high.
After the water tank, the bamboo water pipe is no longer needed. He plans to put a few relatively flat bluestones. The "waterfall" will flow on the bluestones, and clothes can be washed here.
After that, it is necessary to dig a drainage ditch, go around the backyard, and finally lead it to the stream.
Firstly, it is used for irrigation to ensure that the soil in the backyard has sufficient moisture to meet the needs of the plants. Secondly, the problem of drinking water for poultry and pets at home is also solved, and there is no need to feed them specially .
The ditch can be properly paved with some pebbles picked up from the stream for beautification.
The backyard is so big that you can actually consider digging a pond, planting some lotus leaves, lotus flowers and lotus roots, and raising some fish, but there are too many things to do, so I will not consider it for the time being.
Li Xiang did it as soon as he said it. He took his mobile phone and filmed while working.
However, something went wrong when he cut the first bamboo. When he cut down the bamboo, the system sent a prompt.
"Congratulations to the host for cutting down the second-level golden thunder bamboo and getting a surprise reward: three first-level exotic grass snow skirt white jade fungus."
Li Xiang was a little regretful, and then relieved. Golden Thunder Bamboo needs to wait until the end of the world to mutate, but what he got now are three first-level white jade fungi. One has to wait for ten years, but one can be enjoyed immediately. It should be a profit.
The rewards are still distributed in the system warehouse. With a thought, a snow-skirt white jade fungus appeared in his palm. It was as white as jade, like a fairy in the snow. According to its appearance and name, it is probably a bamboo fungus mutation.
The tempting aroma made Li Xiang want to take a bite now.
"Let's wait to mix it into the dishes at dinner and eat it with grandma. Well, make a pot of bamboo fungus soup and say that I found it when I was cutting bamboo."
Bamboo fungi originally grow in bamboo forests and are very rare mountain delicacies.
Although there are only three, each one is far superior to ordinary bamboo fungi.
Li Xiang waved the axe again and cut down the bamboo.
System: "Congratulations to the host for cutting down the second-level golden thunder bamboo and getting a surprise reward: three first-level exotic grass snow skirt white jade fungus."
Li Xiang: "..." He
quickly reacted, probably because bamboo can actually produce many roots from one plant, and the one in front of him may be the same rhizome underground.
Sure enough, Li Xiang cut two more roots and got rewards, a total of twelve first-level exotic grass snow skirt white jade fungus.
"Enough to eat, enough to eat." Li Xiang decided to change places. These golden thunder bamboos are potential species, and they must be kept for the end of the world, when they are truly "mature" to be cut down. The
second-level golden thunder bamboo is very rare, so he marked this piece of bamboo forest and will protect it in the future. Well, if you are greedy, you can still come and cut a few.
After changing the place, there is no prompt, that is, ordinary bamboo is cut.
Li Xiang cut seven or eight long bamboos, dragged them to a flat place in the backyard, and began to process "bamboo water pipes".
When the first "bamboo water pipe" was successfully completed, Li Xiang picked up the pickaxe, enlarged the spring again, connected it with a thick "water pipe", and tried it. It turned out that the water could be smoothly diverted.
He hurriedly began to make more bamboo water pipes and install brackets...
Li Xiang is now a first-level extraordinary person. He feels that he has "endless" power in his body. He will not feel tired at all when doing this kind of work. However, after building more than 60 meters of "bamboo water pipes", he was exhausted!
It's not that his body can't bear it, but that the hatchet can't bear it.
Looking at the gap in the blade and the hatchet that was not rolled well, Li Xiang shook his head. This knife is not good.
It has been sharpened several times in the middle.
When he returned home, his grandmother asked about it, and Li Xiang told her what happened.
Grandma was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "There is something in the west wing. Go and see if it can be used?" Then she walked towards the west wing.
Li Xiang quickly followed: "Grandma, what is that?"
Grandma started to move the debris to the side, and Li Xiang also helped. Soon, Li Xiang saw that in the corner of the west wing, there was a rusty semicircular piece of steel lying quietly.
