Chapter 183 Flushing Toilet

Lin Jingchen stayed at home for a day and then returned to the academy. He took this time to consolidate his knowledge. The teacher in the academy would also give him some detailed instructions.

In April, you have to go to the provincial capital to take the prefectural examination. Only those who pass the examination can be given the title of tongsheng and be eligible to take the academy examination to become a scholar.

During these ten days or so, all the wastelands were dealt with, and the people of Liushu Village were paid and allowed to leave. So many people will not be needed for the next task.

It was just those few people in their village who spread the fertilizer that Jiang Ci had someone ferment years ago on the wasteland where they were going to plant flowers.

This smell is not very pleasant.

Ye Shuyun looked at the vast wasteland scattered with the things that Jiang Ci said could strengthen the earth.

Still a little doubtful, I asked, "Is this thing that is spread okay?"

"Trust me, it will work. You see, we usually spread livestock manure on the ground. We also used to spread extra wood ash on the ground to strengthen the soil. The things we spread on the ground here are similar to those."

"So when do we plant the flower seeds?"

"When the grass sprouts on the mountain, we can turn the land over again and plant flowers."

"When the time comes, there will be huge tracts of flowers here, which will be incredibly beautiful."

When the two of them were walking back, they could see the wasteland on the other side that had been prepared for building a house at the doorstep of Ye Shuyun's house.

"With such a large piece of land, where do you plan to build the house?"

“No need to choose, just build houses for all of them.”

"Ah?!" Ye Shuyun was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"Oh, I lied to you."

Besides, the government doesn’t allow them to build so many houses. There is a hierarchy system.

Ye Shuyun patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "I only have such a large piece of land left. If I build a house on it, how big will it be!"

"I just want a few houses, but I also want to surround this piece of wasteland with a wall, build a pond and rockery, and plant some flowers and trees."

"This is a good idea, Brother Ci. I'll wait and see."

When Jiang Ci returned home, Xiaoli jumped down from the tree and rubbed against his feet.

Jiang Ci bent down and touched him from head to toe. Now it was time for Xiaoli to change cats, so Jiang Ci did not hold it in her arms.

Seeing that there was nothing to do at home, he buried his head at his desk.

During the days in the county, they were not idle. They bought some books about house architecture in the bookstore and looked at the buildings in the books for reference.

Both of them were discussing the layout of their new home.

Now Jiangci is painting flush toilets. These past two days, I have been thinking about what to do in this environment.

In fact, the principle is very simple. You can just make it according to the simple flush toilet used in modern rural toilet reforms.

Bury a large bucket next to the toilet. The lid of the bucket is made into a fan-shaped staggered opening to facilitate adding water. A pipe is connected to the bottom of the bucket to the front end of the toilet.

A stick is erected between the bottom of the bucket and the lid. There is an elastic spring at the bottom of the electric stick, and a round board almost the same size as the inner wall of the wooden barrel is placed flat on the spring.

Then put another stick outside the original stick. This stick should extend one foot out of the ground, and then press something as big as a palm on the top, which is where you step on it with your feet.

When you step on it, the hollow stick presses the disc underneath, which in turn presses the spring underneath, causing the water pressure under the disc to increase suddenly, and the water flows in through the pipe connected to the bottom.

The downside is that the toilet freezes easily in winter.

Also, the spring will lose its elasticity over time and the water pressure cannot reach it, but the bucket is easy to disassemble and replace, so it is not a big problem.

Jiangci plans to replace these water pipes with iron pipes.

"What is this painting of Ah Ci?"

"Ah!" Jiang Ci was frightened by the sudden sound.

Jiang Ci patted his chest and said, "When did you come to my side? Why didn't you make any sound?"

"Aci was so focused on painting that she didn't notice me."

"OK then."

Jiang Ci showed Lin Jingsheng several pictures showing the overall picture of the toilet, the design principle of the bucket, and the design of the septic tank.

Lin Jingsheng picked up Jiang Ci and sat her on his lap, while he sat on the chair where Jiang Ci had just sat.

"These pictures are all of a toilet, a clean toilet without any odor."

Jiang Ci leaned in Lin Jingsheng's arms and carefully explained to Lin Jingsheng the principle of flushing water with a bucket, why the septic tanks have different sizes, and the function of the exhaust pipe, and why it must be more than two meters?

Lin Jingsheng marveled at the wonderful principle behind the design of this toilet.

Lin Jingsheng took the papers and read them over and over again, "If this is promoted, it will definitely be very popular."

“I also feel it will be popular, but this toilet is very expensive compared to current ones, and the villagers probably don’t have the spare money to build one like this.

People in the town may not have enough space in their yards to dig septic tanks, and there is so much water that is flushed down that the people in the town cannot handle it. Maybe some wealthy families in the town would like it. "

"I didn't think well enough."

Jiang Ci kissed Lin Jingsheng once to comfort him, "You've been with me for a long time, and you've been thinking about selling everything to make money."

Lin Jingsheng smiled and said nothing.

"Oh, by the way, when is the wedding date of Lin Chuan and Ye Yunting set?"

"March 20th."

"There's still more than a month left. I remembered their wedding date was on the 20th, but I forgot whether it was March or February."

"Then... when does Ah Ci want to hold our banquet?"

Jiang Ci hasn't made up her mind yet, "Let's wait until our house is built."

"Okay, we haven't gotten married yet, I want to see Ah Ci wearing her wedding dress."

"Hmph, just wait."

Jiang Ci got down from Lin Jingsheng's legs and collected all the scattered drawings on the table.

"Okay, let's go for a walk."

The two of them walked aimlessly in the village, just to get some fresh air.

"Let's go to Xige's house to see if he's here today?"

When we arrived at Linxi's house, there was only movement in the kitchen. Dahei, who was lying in the yard, just came in with two acquaintances and raised his head and put it down again.

The two walked to the kitchen door, "What are you doing?"

"Brother Ci is here, making popcorn, it will be ready soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pot began to crackle and the aroma spread out.
