The two best friends had finished planting the vegetable garden, and they still had plenty of time in the future, so Yun Ruoxi thought about going to the land they were given to take a look and tidy it up in advance. Fortunately, it was in the south, so it didn't matter even if they planted late.
It’s just that she plants one season less than others, which is not a big problem for Yun Ruoxi.
Yun Ruoxi: "Xiaoxue, let's go take a look at the field. We need to dig out the soil first. I think we need to wash the ground with fresh water before we can plant."
Mu Ruxue opened her big, adorable eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering in a very cute way. "Why do we have to use fresh water to wash the floor?"
"Taohua Village is close to the sea, so the soil must be salty. I checked it when I came here. Although it's not as serious as saline-alkali land, it probably has an impact on food. Otherwise, why don't the villagers of Taohua Village want to farm and prefer to go fishing? I think there must be a reason."
Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan looked at each other after filling in the form, their eyes full of admiration for Yun Ruoxi.
Mu Ruxue: "Xixi's analysis is correct. Let's go early. We can do a little bit every day. We have nothing to do anyway."
After the discussion, the four of them walked towards the Xiao family's land together.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue, two best friends, didn't know where their land was. Yesterday, Xiao Jingrui followed Xiao Jing to the village chief's house and roughly knew where it was.
After the four people arrived, Yun Ruoxi squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. Sure enough, she saw some white floating out of the soil.
These white areas are actually saline-alkali lands, which appear on the surface of the land after being exposed to the sun.
Yun Ruoxi frowned, "These lands are indeed not suitable for direct planting. We still need to wash them with fresh water."
Xiao Jingrui: "What is fresh water?"
Yun Ruoxi was old and wanted to explain: "It is water that we can drink directly. Everyone knows that sea water cannot be drunk. The more you drink, the thirstier you become. This is because the salt content in sea water is very high. Fresh water is well water, groundwater, and rainwater is actually a kind of fresh water."
Mu Ruxue stood up and looked around, all she saw was a vast expanse of land.
"But where can we find fresh water now? This is all land. If we want fresh water, we can probably only draw water from the well at home."
Yun Ruoxi turned to look at Xiao Jingrui, "Husband, do you know how big our land is? You can at least divide it up and tell us where it ends."
Xiao Jingrui looked around. "There are seven people in our eldest family, and the land we were allocated is 35 mu. And because we're new here, this area starts from the red cloth stuck on the wooden stick we just passed, and ends at the red cloth stuck on the wooden stake at the other end."
Yun Ruoxi took a look and found that she couldn't see the edge, but she had an impression of where the red cloth fork was.
Yun Ruoxi: "Since it's too troublesome to bring water from the village, why don't we just dig a well directly in the field? The location of the well won't waste much land."
Mu Ruxue nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Then we can dig a well in the middle of all the land. That way, no matter which acre of land we hand over, the distance will be similar and it will be convenient."
There are actually tools for digging a well in Yun Ruoxi's space. Digging a well requires a lot of helpers, and with just a few of them, they probably can't figure it out.
Yun Ruoxi: "If we want to dig a well, I think we should call the nine brothers to help. That way, it will be faster."
Jamel Xiao: "Okay, then I will drive the carriage to the town to find Brother Nine, and then call brothers Liu Yong and Liu Gang back to help. In the evening, they can drive the carriage back, so they don't have to stay in Taohua Village."
After everything was discussed, Yun Ruoxi looked for tools to dig a well in the space. The first thing she needed was drilling equipment.
Her space is filled with both small and large drilling rigs.
There is a detailed instruction manual inside, but in order to save time and effort, and considering safety issues, Yun Ruoxi plans to just use a small one.
The first is a small electric drilling rig. This machine is lighter and easier to operate, and is equipped with an alloy drill bit in the front. It is used to drill a shallow well. As long as the range is within 20 meters, there will be absolutely no problem.
And even if the water in the well runs out, it can be replenished. Although they use a lot of water to wash the floor, this smaller well is probably enough.
If it is really not enough, you can dig two more small wells.
In addition to a small electric drilling rig, a mud pump and a casing drill bit are also required.
As for the mud pump, it is needed to transport mud or clean water and discharge drilling cuttings.
As for casing, steel or plastic pipes are used, which are mainly used to reinforce and prevent collapse, especially in loose soil layers, and are necessary to use.
Finally, there are three types of drill bits: alloy drill bits, diamond drill bits, and fishtail drill bits.
Finally, water measuring equipment is needed. Yun Ruoxi found a water measuring instrument from the space. This tool can accurately detect the groundwater level and water quality, so as to determine the location of the well.
The last step is to complete the well. The tools needed are well pipe filter material and water pump.
Now Xiao Jingxuan has returned to the house to harness the carriage and go to the town to call people back. This matter is considered to be settled.
The remaining three people were idle in the field, so Yun Ruoxi took the water meter and started to determine the location of the well.
Originally they wanted to build the well in the middle of the 35 acres of land, but although the idea was good, reality did not allow it, so the well had to be located a little deeper.
And the locations of at least two wells were detected in their 35 acres of land. If conditions permit, Yun Ruoxi can dig two wells.
After determining the well location, Xiao Jingrui began to manually dig a circular or square vertical shaft according to Yun Ruoxi's instructions.
Every time you dig about 1 meter, you need to reinforce the wall with bricks and stones to prevent collapse.
Xiao Jingrui was digging alone below, while Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were not idle either. They took bricks and cement from the space and mixed the cement on the spot in the field.
Yun Ruoxi always felt that only a cement-reinforced wall would be better, and if bricks were added, it would be perfect.
After the opening was dug, Xiao Jingrui rushed over alone at the first meter position.
After the road was paved, Jamel Xiao also returned from the town in a carriage.
When he came back, he brought the nine brothers of the Wei family, as well as Liu Yong and Liu Gang.
There are 11 people in total, plus the four people they originally had, a total of 15.
Fortunately, the roads on the divided land were all flat. Yun Ruoxi turned to Wei Da and said, "Now what we need to do is separate the land from the roads and add edging to all the land. This will help us distinguish them. Later on, we will need to water and wash the land to prevent it from leaking onto the roads."
