After hearing her say this, Luo Xiuyan stopped insisting and thought that this might be the sense of participation that Tian Cai was talking about today.
According to her own idea, Tian Cai first dug a long earth pit sloping downwards, and then picked up some flat stones outside and stacked them flatly inside. She dug another earth pit more than one meter deep below the long earth pit. Although it was difficult to accept, she still had to endure it. This would probably be her family's manure pit in the future.
She tried various methods, but none of them could make a flush toilet. Even if she could make a flush toilet, the problem was where to flush the excrement.
She had asked Luo Xiuyan before, the small river at the foot of the hillside was where the villagers usually washed clothes, and everyone washed their urine buckets downstream.
After preparing the pit, Tian Cai lifted the wooden board and nailed the frame on top. She had just consulted Carpenter Chen. This toilet had to be raised at least half a meter, and the pit underneath had to be deep enough.
"Is this deep enough?" Tian Cai asked Luo Xiuyan.
Luo Xiuyan took the oil lamp and took a closer look. "That's enough. My house isn't even this deep! I've been using it for years!"
Tian Cai wished he could dig two meters deep, so that he wouldn’t have to clean the manure pit anymore. But forget it, he can’t think about it anymore.
Tian Cai sharpened a stick as thick as his arm and inserted it into the four corners to serve as support pillars for the entire toilet. Then he nailed wooden boards four feet off the ground. Soon the entire toilet frame was completed.
The rest of the work was much easier. Tian Cai quickly nailed the wooden boards neatly, added a roof to the toilet, and built a staircase at the same time.
Mission accomplished!
Tian Cai felt a surge of accomplishment as he looked at the rural thatched house he had built with his own hands.
