Chapter 43 043. Formation Well

next day

early morning

When the first ray of sunlight sets on the top of Aurora Castle, it means that the slaves are about to start a new day of work.

On the long table at the entrance of the stone house, there are several baskets of freshly baked wheat cakes, exuding the most original sweet smell. In addition to the necessary staple food, there are also grilled dried sea fish with added salt, and a small amount of fruits and vegetables.

The food of the slaves is rationed, and each one takes his own portion. If someone dares to take more, Maihe will severely punish the thief.

Fortunately, the young Lord Jialan was known for his kindness, and the amount of food distributed was enough to meet the needs of a day's work. Although the task was heavy, no one complained.

In order to save time, the serfs responsible for cultivating the farmland took the food and walked to the south side of the farmland. They ate as they walked and waited until they reached the edge of the forest to finish their food.

They raised their axes and saws, and tall trees fell to the ground like dying giants. They were uprooted, leaving shocking sores on the back of the earth.

"master."

"Um?"

"Are you okay?" Looking at Jialan who stood motionless for a long time, Mag thought he was feeling unwell.

"It's okay." Jialan waved her hand and glanced across the field, "If you want to dig a well to irrigate the farmland, which location do you think is the most suitable? Don't worry about whether there is enough water."

After thinking briefly, Mag raised his hand and pointed, "Over there."

Looking in the direction of the finger, we can see the location of the first ten acres of fertile farmland that was transformed by the system, and it was also the first batch of wheat fields where wheat seeds were planted.

"Since it is a well, it cannot be too far away from the village, otherwise it cannot be looked after, and it cannot be too far away from the farmland, otherwise it will be difficult to carry water. The location is between the fence and the farmland. If the fence is expanded in the future, the well can be easily included. .”

After hearing Mag's explanation, Jialan nodded, "Let's go over and have a look."

Standing still, the soil under your feet is soft and fertile black soil. If it were not too close to the fence, it would definitely be planned as part of a wheat field.

Besides, a well doesn't take up much space. After thinking about it for a while, Jialan opened the backpack column and locked the [natural deep well] to confirm its use.

Buzz…

The white light that no one could see condensed out of thin air, like the infusion of sky flames, and penetrated deep into the ground. Quietly, a solid wellhead half a meter above the ground, made entirely of dark green bluestone, appeared in front of Mag's eyes.

This was the first time that Jialan allowed others to observe the system's ability to change the world at such a close distance, but Mag remained indifferent to the extra wellhead in front of him, as if it was already there.

"It seems that the system's capabilities are higher than I imagined."

Jia Lan looked at the mouth of the well, and a deep spring appeared before her eyes. The clear water was within reach, but she could imagine that the bottom of the well was hundreds of meters deep. Gazing at the hollow depth seemed to suck away the soul.

Looking at the wide wellhead with a diameter of three meters, I feel like I can jump in and swim.

I bent down and picked up a handful of well water. It was clear and clear. When I drank it, it was ice-cold and refreshing. It also had a hint of sweetness.

“Good water!”

In fact, the wellhead is not completely exposed. There are pipes extending into the bottom of the wellhead at the edge of the wellhead, connecting gears and winches.

According to the instructions for use, this is a water collection device left over from the goblin period. By stepping on the outer pedal, the internal impeller can be driven to rotate, thereby continuously drawing well water to the ground. The water collection efficiency is many times faster than a simple bucket.

"McGonagall."

Jialan woke up Mag who had been staring at the water.

"Let Myron build a platform roof around the wellhead, seal the entire wellhead, and leave a small water intake."

This is done to prevent people or wild beasts, snakes and insects from falling in and contaminating the water source. After all, the mouth of the well is too big and deep. It would be terrible if something falls in and cannot be fished out.

The bottom of the well leads directly to an underground river, and there's no telling if something strange might come up, so it's best to seal it.

"Okay, sir, I will make arrangements immediately."

Mag came back to his senses and did not dare to stare at the water anymore. He excused himself and went to the breeding shed to look for Myron.

After two days of hard work day and night, the mushroom shed for cultivating flame mushrooms was almost completed, and Walli began to transplant the strains non-stop. He announced in front of the lord that he would cultivate an entire shed of flame mushrooms within fifteen days.

.

The manpower freed up by building the bacteria shed was just deployed to build the water well platform.

Because the wood is usually made in the lumberyard, it can be directly spliced ​​together. In less than half a day, a wooden pavilion covering the wellhead is built.

There is a water pumping device on one side of the pavilion. As long as someone stands on it and steps on the pedal, the well water will flow out of the outlet and be irrigated directly into the fields, or it can be caught in a bucket.

"It's so convenient! It will be much easier to farm and water the fields in the future!"

Mai He stood up and tried to pedal continuously, like riding a bicycle, and the water in the well flowed.

"Haha, the water in this well is very abundant and cannot be used up. In the future, whether for irrigation or drinking, as long as it is not wasted for no reason, you can use it at will."

With this well, Aurora Village will not have to worry about fresh water for a long time in the future, and there is no need to rush to prepare the freshwater element conversion array that Ogunte promised to arrange.

Invisibly, it saves a lot of manpower for Jiguang Village.

Spring plowing, fishing...

Planting, breeding…

The small Aurora Village is well-equipped and all aspects of the industry are organized in an orderly manner. It has already taken the shape of a town. Next, it only needs to be patiently expanded in scale and develop steadily step by step to achieve the territory that Jialan dreams of.

However, facing the increasingly dull days, Jialan could not control her loneliness and decided to go out with Carl and others to capture wild beasts.

"Master! There are monsters in the forest, so you don't have to take risks yourself. Besides, the flame mushrooms cultivated by Wall-E are very successful, so you don't have to worry about having no trading goods."

Butler Mag tried hard to persuade her, hoping that Jialan would give up this idea.

"Yes, Lord Jialan, you are the backbone of Aurora Village. If anything happens..." Irina couldn't help but agree when she heard that Jialan was going to leave the village for hunting.

Elena's life was quite comfortable during this period. Although Jia Lan was a young man with a strong temperament, he did not force her to sleep with him because of his status as a noble lord. In addition, he only had to serve Jia Lan, which was more practical than others.

So much easier.

Thinking of this, Elena's face turned red and she whispered in a low voice.

"If you are really idle, master, I... can dance... for you..."

"Huh?"

Jialan squinted her eyes and looked up and down at the graceful little maid in front of her. She vaguely remembered that she had mentioned that she was a dance major when she was on Walrus Island.

After all, most aristocratic daughters have the mission of marrying each other, so learning dance will indeed add a lot of points.

"Since you can dance, then..."
