Hearing this, the village chief started walking, saying to Li Mengyue as he walked, "Girl Yue, hurry up. It's still early. Let's see if we can finish it today."
Li Mengyue understood the village chief's mood, said nothing, and followed his footsteps.
"Knock, knock, knock! Is Lao Yang home?"
"Here, who is it?"
"It's me. I have something to talk to you about."
Carpenter Yang thought the voice sounded like that of the village chief and hurried to open the door.
“Squeak!”
"Village Chief, it's really you, what's wrong?"
"Old Yang, are you free now? I need your help with something."
"If you had come yesterday, I really wouldn't have been free, but I don't have anything to do today."
Carpenter Yang smiled when he thought of his son giving away the fishing net. He and his son had made a lot of money from making the fishing net during this period, which was enough to cover their family's annual income.
Seeing Li Mengyue behind the village chief, the smile on his face grew even wider.
"Yue girl is here too. Come in quickly. I'll ask your aunt to make you some brown sugar water."
"Uncle Yang, that's not necessary."
The three of them sat down, and the village chief couldn't wait to look at Li Mengyue without waiting for Carpenter Yang to speak.
Seeing the village chief's eager look, Li Mengyue did not let her down.
"Uncle Yang, could you please bring me a piece of paper?"
After a while, Li Mengyue took out her homemade charcoal pencil under cover and began to draw the design of the waterwheel.
Carpenter Yang and the village chief had always taken this very seriously, but they were still shocked when they saw a design drawing with all the data clearly marked being drawn up.
Although they couldn't understand what this was, they both knew that Li Mengyue would never do anything in vain.
As Li Mengyao finished her final stroke, she knew full well that her freehand design method had a significant impact on them.
What's more, she also drew a three-dimensional waterwheel below the drawing, so you can see at a glance what it is made of.
"Yue girl, this is the tool you said can solve the watering problem."
"That's right, but that's not enough. We need a lot of thick bamboo."
"The bamboo thing is easy. There's a large bamboo forest next to our village. I'll find someone to cut it down when I get back."
"Grandpa Village Chief, the bamboo should be thicker than your arm, and as long as possible. Dry it in the sun. Then split it and make diabolo joints."
"Okay, no problem."
"And the most important thing."
When the village chief heard Li Mengyue say that there was something more important, he knew that things were not that simple. It would be amazing if the watering problem could be solved with just a little bamboo and something that seemed to turn.
Li Mengyue continued talking without pausing.
"I want to irrigate all the fields in the village, and I need to bring water from the mountains."
"What! Deep... mountain water diversion."
