From wilderness to palace

Chapter 37 Drilling a Well
After building Shelter No. [-], Liu Yaozu chose to stay at home and completely fix the old house. Naturally, he couldn't update the videos of outdoor adventures or camping.But for the old users before, they feel very happy.

Followed users who like outdoor adventures, seeing Liu Yaozu staying at home to renovate the old house, can't help but ask in the message when he plans to go to the mountains next time.The old users refuted in the message how good it is to stay at home honestly.

The new and old concerned about the users, and they disagreed because of the updated content of the video, which really made Liu Yaozu dumbfounded.In the end, he could only explain this matter in the recently updated video.

"Renovating the old house is something I decided to do well when I returned to my hometown. As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as my own doghouse. The old house carries too many childhood happiness and sweet memories. I really don't want it to be left behind. .

As for outdoor adventure or tent building, it is my personal hobby.Sometimes after staying in the village for a long time, I will be very quiet and want to move, so I think about going to the mountains to stay for a few days.Outdoor life, of course, is both outdoors and life! "

After such an explanation, new and old users finally stopped arguing about which aspect of video Liu Yaozu should focus on recording.After all, as video viewers, they are often passive.

What kind of video to watch depends on Liu Yaozu, a video blogger, what kind of video he is willing to edit and produce for them.It cannot be denied that Liu Yaozu's video production is very careful, and it looks very comfortable.

Many young people from the countryside can always find some familiar childhood memory references in the videos he produced and released.As for those users who love outdoor sports, they envy and yearn for Liu Yaozu's outdoor life in the jungle.

In fact, no matter what kind of life, for these concerned users, more can only stay in the stage of tasting and appreciating.It's not very realistic to really have the courage to let go of everything in the city and pursue the life you yearn for like Liu Yaozu!
Looking at the Liu family's old house, from the dilapidated to the now quaint, the house is full of modern and pastoral styles. The old users who paid attention the first time felt that this old farm house must be very comfortable to live in.

The only thing netizens regret is that Liu Yaozu's family is a little less angry.Originally, some netizens suggested that he should buy a cat or dog to keep.With these two small animals at home, it may seem that it will be much more lively.

Liu Yaozu also explained this: "If you want to raise cats, it may not be possible for the time being. Because in the later stage, you may go to the mountains every now and then. If you really want to raise cats and dogs, I am worried that it will take a long time to go to the mountains and I will not be able to take good care of them.

Compared with cats, I haven't found a suitable one yet.As for the puppy, I have already agreed with the dog breeder in the village.When his bitch gives birth to puppies, I will also adopt one.Going back into the mountains, it is not bad to have a dog as a companion. "

Although cats and dogs can also be fed regularly, Liu Yaozu still feels that it is not necessary.He would actually rather have a dog than a cat.Although some people keep cats in the village, many of these cats are not very good at catching mice.

On the contrary, the dogs raised by some villagers help the villagers catch mice from time to time.Things like dogs picking up mice are also very common in rural areas!
After the new kitchen stove was built, Liu Yaozu also tried to burn it, and found that what Liu Zhong said was really good, the craftsmanship of this high-priced stove-builder was really excellent.Not to mention that the stove is easy to burn, and the fire in the stove seems to be burning brightly.

Thanks to the master, Liu Yaozu also started to install the water pipes.Where water pipes need to be installed in the house, he has almost installed them in the past two days after the cement has hardened.All that's left to do is get the well water into the tank.

The invited well-driller did not spend much time at all, and successfully drilled groundwater behind Liu Yaozu's yard.In order to ensure the quality of groundwater, the well-drilling master deliberately drilled a little deeper so that the extracted well water will be cleaner.

The freshly dug well water is definitely not suitable for drinking. Later, under the guidance of the well digger, Liu Yaozu washed it three times before and after.Until the pumped water is no longer turbid, it means that the water in the well is completely clean.

After brewing a pot of tea with his own well water, Liu Yaozu found that the quality of the well water was also very good.The well-driller also said earlier that the bottom of his well is sandstone.The extracted groundwater is of relatively high quality and clean.

After installing the water pipes, turning on the water pump, and listening to the sound of water entering from the water tank, Liu Yaozu was also very happy and said: "When the weather gets cold, there should be no need to boil water for bathing. As long as it is winter, the water tank may be easily frozen! "

Winters in the north are relatively cold, and water pipes sometimes freeze and crack.Taking this into consideration, Liu Yaozu uses galvanized steel pipes for outdoor water pipes, which can be wrapped with antifreeze soft covers to ensure normal water use in winter.

In general, Liu Yaozu will take protective measures as soon as possible for the issues that should be considered.There is no way to deal with extremely bad weather.If it doesn't work, then we can only carry water to live again.

When the kitchen was also completely new, Liu Yaozu, who planned to pick a good day to treat guests, cooked a meal with the freshly made wood-fired stove.In his opinion, the firepower of wood-burning stoves is indeed better than gas stoves.

But in terms of convenience, gas stoves are naturally better.This also means that unless there are guests at home, or cooking.Otherwise, it takes longer to use a wood stove than a gas stove.

It is just undeniable that the food cooked by a wood-burning stove seems to be better than a gas stove.After self-analysis, Liu Yaozu also said with emotion: "It's convenient to have a firewood stove, anyway, you can use it whenever you want, it's okay!"

With the firewood stove, the waste wood that was dismantled before can be considered useful.In addition, many miscellaneous trees felled from the pine forest at home were chopped into firewood and piled up under the eaves of the kitchen.

Looking at the neatly arranged firewood, Liu Yaozu was also very happy and said: "If I burn it myself, the firewood on this wall is probably enough to burn for a year or two. Now this kitchen finally looks like a farmhouse kitchen. "

Liu Yaozu, who has been to other villagers' homes, can clearly see that there is a lot of firewood piled up next to the kitchen of the villagers' homes.Especially in late autumn, many villagers will make a special trip to the mountains to cut firewood and store more firewood for the coming year.

Some villagers even built a firewood shed for the firewood they accumulated.Firewood is taken from the shed when needed.The more firewood the family accumulates, the more prosperous the life of the family is!

After finishing the work in the kitchen and confirming that the kitchen is exactly what he wanted, Liu Yaozu also started to shift his cooking position.The room that was previously used as a temporary kitchen was also reorganized and planned.

Seeing the hardened concrete floor, Liu Yaozu specially asked Liu Zhong to come over to have a look, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he cleaned the inside and outside of the room again, and then moved the removed furniture back.

Some old objects that have been cleared out are also stacked separately in a room for preservation.For the remaining vacant rooms, Liu Yaozu also made a few wooden beds, intending to use them as guest rooms to entertain visiting friends in the future.

Seeing that the old house was finally tidied up and completely changed from when he first came back, Liu Yaozu also planned to talk to his eighth uncle Liu Shouyi about inviting the villagers to dinner.If you finish this meal early, he can feel at ease sooner.

After eating this meal, I believe everyone in the village should understand that he moved back to his hometown from the imperial capital, not on a whim, but a sincere intention to return to the village.In this way, the villagers will no longer treat him as an outsider or a passer-by, right?
