Everyone was a little bit skeptical that these dirty things could filter out clean water.
Blacksmith Li stood aside and watched without blinking. He had always thought that this girl was unreliable, and this time he also felt that this was just nonsense.
But fortunately, he was not prepared to take the charcoal.
Lin Shucheng brought over a bucket of water. The water quality was very poor. The lake looked green, but the water in the bucket was turbid and yellow. There was no poison in it and theoretically it could be filtered.
It was also at this time that the Wang family brought the shelf that Lin Jinyue needed.
The top of the shelf is triangular, and a water bag can be hung underneath, or a bucket can be placed underneath. In order to allow everyone to visually see the filtering effect, Lin Jinyue did not hang a water bag, but placed a bucket underneath.
The turbid water was poured into the filtering jar, and soon clear water flowed out from the broken part of the jar.
It's actually clear!
Lin Youcai rubbed his eyes, thinking that his eyesight was blurry due to old age.
Everyone rubbed their eyes in unison, but Blacksmith Li still didn't believe it, so he took a white porcelain bowl and scooped some water, and it was surprisingly clear!
Blacksmith Li couldn't help but say, "Yueyue, use a silver needle to test it and see if it's drinkable."
Lin Jinyue put the silver needle in and there was no color change. The system prompt in her mind also stated that it was safe and non-toxic, and the filtered water was very clean.
Blacksmith Li and his family didn't bring enough water bags, so he just prepared to drink.
Lin Jinyue called out, "Uncle Li, stop drinking!"
Blacksmith Li was stunned: "Why, isn't it non-toxic? I'm just really thirsty."
Lin Jinyue explained: "It is indeed not poisonous. There may be microorganisms in the water. We cannot see them with our eyes and there is no way to filter them out. Drinking too much will cause diarrhea and is not good for the body. It still needs to be boiled before drinking."
After Lin Jinyue's repeated instructions, the people in Linjia Village developed the habit of boiling water.
Blacksmith Li and his companions had just arrived. Even though their family was well-off, they still did not have the habit of boiling water in ancient times, so they just drank the water directly.
Lin Jinyue poured the water from her water bag into the blacksmith Li's bowl, "Uncle, if you are thirsty, drink this first, it's been boiled."
At this time, the water on the farm met the standards for direct drinking water, but Lin Jinyue and her friends were still used to boiling it before drinking.
Blacksmith Li didn't dare to underestimate Lin Jinyue at this moment. This girl was no ordinary girl. He had underestimated her before and found out that she had such a brilliant idea to filter dirty water into clean water.
Blacksmith Li took a big gulp of water and then handed the remaining half bowl to his wife.
Then he asked Lin Jinyue: "Yueyue, where did you learn this? It's so amazing."
Lin Jinyue had already thought of an excuse: "I saw it in a book, but I forgot which book it was and I didn't bring it with me."
Blacksmith Li was shocked again: "Your father sent you to school?"
How could an ordinary family afford to send their daughter to school? Even the family of Li the blacksmith was considered a wealthy family in Runan County, but they found it difficult to afford pens, ink, paper and inkstone for their son's education.
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "My father doesn't have money, but when my brother was studying in the academy, he would come back to teach me, and I would also read his books. When I was older, I went to my grandparents' house and read his medical books as well."
At this moment, there was only admiration in Blacksmith Li's eyes. No wonder everyone in the village listened to this girl.
Look at her. Her family is not well off, but she learned to read with her brother and read all the books. Otherwise, why would everyone in the village listen to Lin Jinyue, even her father? This kid is really amazing.
When blacksmith Li got half a bucket of water and went home to ask his wife to boil it, Liu refused.
Liu: "Burn it yourself."
Blacksmith Li: "Why don't you learn the good things but learn the bad things?"
This means that Liu followed the example of Jiang Yun and Lin Jinyue and ordered the men in the family to do work. He had never seen any men working in any other family except Lin Jinyue's.
Liu couldn't help but stab him twice: "Are we still single?"
Blacksmith Li suddenly felt his face hurt. Last night he had said that this group of people were unreliable. He wanted to skip this topic, but Liu deliberately brought it up.
Doesn't he have any face?
However, Blacksmith Li did bring it up: "Speaking of which, I think Brother Lin's daughter is really insightful. It's a pity that our child is too young to become relatives."
As soon as Li the blacksmith said this, his wife glared at him again: "Now you know that he's fine? And you still want to become in-laws? What are you daydreaming about?"
Blacksmith Li was still muttering: "Isn't this because I just saw that her daughter is good? I think there will be a big break in the future, so I just said it casually. I know that our son is not worthy of her."
Mrs. Liu and Blacksmith Li now really believe in Lin Jinyue's family. Don't say that she is young. Even though she is young, she has something to worry about.
The other side.
Lin Jinyue didn't know how much this group of people believed in her, and the system didn't show it either.
She got a few more jars for filtering water. At first, she only dared to use broken clay jars, but now she dared to drill a hole in the bottom of the intact clay jars for filtering.
At night, the family sat in the tent, and Lin Shucheng praised his daughter: "Your idea is really good. The water source problem in the future has been solved."
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "It would be great if the problem with the powder could be solved as well."
Lin Jinyue was helping her mother grind the medicine powder.
Seeing that the medicine jar was almost empty, Lin Jinyue felt a little worried. She felt more and more that it was not enough for their family to make the medicine powder alone.
These powders are specially used to prevent wild beasts from coming. They have a pungent smell. Not to mention snakes, insects, rats and ants, even wild beasts may not come. A lot of these powders are consumed every night. In addition, they have to prepare some commonly used powders every day to treat insect poison, dampness and heat, and wounds.
People get hurt every day.
The woods they were in were often deserted and the road was really difficult to travel. They also had a cart, but several times they were so angry that they almost threw the cart away.
In this difficult environment, and as they were in a hurry to travel, people got injured every day, either from fighting with wild beasts, or from being bitten by insects or snakes that they weren't paying attention to, or from being scratched by thorns and various plants, some of which were poisonous.
In addition, some people were not used to the local climate, and some were not feeling well. In short, the daily consumption of medicinal powder was very high, which required Lin Jinyue and Jiang Yun to make the medicinal powder non-stop. Some medicines also needed to be prepared, which was very troublesome.
Lin Jinyue pondered, "Mom, why don't you teach the girls in the village to learn some medical skills? At least there will be someone to help with the medicine for the wounds. For simple headaches and fevers, there will be someone to lend a hand."
Lin Shucheng also said: "I said it should be like this a long time ago. If you are worried that they will learn the skills, just teach them some simple ones."
Jiang Yun had her own concerns. "I'm not afraid of them learning the skills. I hope someone will come to learn. Yueyue has been very busy these days, so I didn't mention it. I'm just worried that these people will have no food in the future. There's not much food now. If they don't have time to pick wild fruits, what will they eat in the future?"
"We have food at home, but if we just give it out casually, someone will definitely get suspicious."
Jiang Yun really didn't want to cause trouble for her daughter.
