When Ye Tan stepped forward, he saw several people looking at a small dam built at the entrance of the village. Although it was not big, it was about ten meters long. The people in the village took the initiative to dig out the ground to widen it. Although

It doesn't look particularly powerful, but it is still very unusual. Behind the dam is a lake of almost thirty square meters, with no aquatic plants on it. I originally planned to plant some lotus, but I was worried that it would affect the strength of the dam.

degree.

However, the most incredible thing is that the dam is made of cement. There is something like a valve in the middle. It is about one foot long and wide. Although it is not thick, the middle is made of iron and the outside is still cement.

A little below the dam is a water wheel made of bamboo. There is a short water tank to bring the water out. Although the internal flow of this river is an underground river, the water volume is still very sufficient. If there is sufficient water,

, you can choose to close the underground river, and when the water flow is not enough, you can open it.

At this time, they looked at the design of this waterwheel and were amazed. Although there are some so-called hydraulic things in this era, they are all hard work and require a lot of manpower, but this one does not.

"This is driven by the flow of water. In fact, it sounds very troublesome, but if you look at it, you will find that it is actually very simple." Ye Tan said and operated the water gate. After closing it, it stopped.

, after opening it, it started quickly.

Pei Yuan's eyes are full of light. It seems that this thing is really good.

Then several people followed the place where the bamboo pipe extended, and found that the pipe not only went to the field, but also ran towards the village.

"I'm not very proficient in this yet, but it can help some older people in the village." What Ye Tan did is similar to tap water. Although it is not that exaggerated, the basic principle is not difficult.

Several people did not go to see the fields, but followed Guanzi towards the village.

Ye Wenzhang had known about this for a long time. It was very exciting. He originally planned to organize a welcome party for everyone, but Ye Tan refused. They are just a bunch of rubes. Is this necessary?

Besides, people in Yejia Village are very busy, who has time to pay attention to these idlers?

However, he still asked the people in the village to prepare food and fruits, while he was trembling in the lobby of the village committee, so excited.

After the water pipes arrived at the village, they branched again. One branch faced the village, and the other one seemed to be going in a circle. Moreover, many bamboo pipes had holes under them, and half of the water flowed out, and the remaining half almost fell off.

Go down, there are a lot of flowers and other things down there.

"This is to prevent too much water from bursting the pipe when no one is using it. Therefore, we diverted this stream. The main purpose is to water the flowers. There are more people building houses in the village now.

Now that I'm up, I need to tidy up my house." Ye Tan pointed at the gorgeous flowers blooming not far away and said with a smile.

"This kid is really not wasting anything." Several county magistrates secretly thought, while Cao Anmin felt that his life had been in vain all these years. This thing seems not difficult, but people with this idea,

It’s really not much.

Then a group of people went to several small workshops. Although they were small, everyone worked very hard and in a good mood. They didn't look like they were working with a sad look on their faces. The last few people were brought here by Ye Tan

When we arrived at the village committee of Yejia Village, it was in the middle of the village. There was a large lobby with the latest tables and chairs. Although there were no sculptures, they were thick.

As soon as Ye Wenwen saw all these people coming, he quickly shouted, "Serve the food."

Several county magistrates and the like have come here. In fact, the farmers don’t have anything delicious to eat. They won’t kill the old hens that lay eggs for you to eat. They just feed you some wild vegetables and some game from the mountains.

Nowadays, game is indeed a good thing, but in the past, game was not very delicious. The reason is that game often runs around and has a lot of muscles, but no oil and water. What people of that era lacked was

Oil and water.

Just as Cao Anmin was about to say, how about we eat what we brought, he heard a squeaking sound, and then a strong aroma wafted up, making several county magistrates drinking tea take a deep breath.

, this smells so delicious.

Although Wang Wenbin has also eaten it, he cannot eat it often because the oil is really expensive. As for Tang Sheng, Mao Wenwen, Pan Wei and Cao Anmin, they have never eaten it at all, so the aroma directly attracted them.

Putting down their teacups, they stopped chatting. Instead, they looked at the door to see when the food would be served. Maybe this was the first time they had done this.

It didn't take long for the tea to be served before the dishes began to be served.

The first dish was braised pork with a fragrant aroma. It was served on a plate as big as a washbasin, but there wasn't a lot of meat in it. It was just a bright red color, which was very attractive.

It was placed in the middle of the table, and several people stared at it, and a group of people on the side were all old men in the village. They were embarrassed to sit directly with the county magistrates, but they didn't want to just stop coming and ate it.

With such a meal, you will have to brag about it for many years to come.

Seeing them staring at the meat, the words of one of them, an old man in his fifties, made the county magistrate and others stunned for a moment, and then they felt like they were sweating.

"Why is it pork again? Is there nothing else? It's greasy."

The phrase "greasy" is definitely a very arrogant one in Yejiacun.

But when he heard about pork, the fat man Tang Sheng felt a little nauseous. He looked at Wang Wenbin and said, "Is it really pork?"

"This dish can only use pork, and only the pigs raised by Yejia Village can make it taste delicious. They have used roe deer, venison, mutton, etc. before, but they are not good. Even wild boar meat is not good.

No, we can only use the pigs they raise. I heard that these pigs have been specially treated. If Brother Tang doesn't like the food after a while, he can give it to his brother. There is a certain amount of food in Yejiacun." Wang Wenbin has eaten a few times.

This time, he laughed and teased him.

"I don't believe how much we eat." Tang Sheng snorted, ignored him, and went to chat with Pei Yuan.

Then there are the fish, which are very big fish, weighing almost twenty kilograms. They look like they are raw, but they taste great.

Then there is the hare meat, which is grilled and tastes great.

And then there’s…

A total of eighteen dishes were served, including four or five vegetarian dishes: stir-fried lotus root, stir-fried beans, shredded fungus, cold cucumber and ear root.

Pei Yuan looked at the table of dishes and was in a good mood, because this meal was not simple, and ordinary places could not afford to serve it.

"Come, have a drink." Pei Yuan did not say any polite words, and picked up the white wine glass. There was red liquid in it. The strong aroma of the wine was only 40 degrees. Of course, the Sanle wine of the Tang Dynasty was only 10 degrees.

How many times.

"Okay." Mao Wenwen didn't like drinking, but he planned to drink it in one gulp to save face, but almost spit it out. Cao Anmin tasted it carefully and said, "Good stuff, it's fruit wine, but it tastes very good and has a rich aroma.

"

"Well, this is Yejiacun's house wine. It's only available here. Come, let's eat." Pei Yuan picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Well, it tastes great. It's worthy of being stewed in a big pot.

Yes, it tastes much better than the small pot at home.

Others also started to eat, but Tang Sheng didn't dare to move. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and planned to eat something casually, but found that this dish was really delicious.

"It tastes good." Tang Sheng is a foodie, so he started with all the dishes except the braised pork. After a while, most of the dishes on the table were eaten.

When Pei Yuan put down his chopsticks, he found that there was very little food on the table opposite. Everyone just drank some wine and chatted. They seemed not very interested in the food. Thinking of what the old man said just now, his face turned a little red.

.

"Ye Tan, we didn't come here just for a meal." He said this with a bit of blush. He didn't eat so much just for a meal. "Where's the waterwheel?"

"It's in the afternoon. It's in our wood workshop in Yejia Village, not far away. I asked them to go to Tanghe to install it in the morning. In the afternoon, I just happened to go over and have a look." Ye Tan looked at the other things on the plate.

Tang Sheng probably didn't want to eat a piece of braised pork, so he picked it up and started eating.

"Okay, after lunch, take a rest and set off in the afternoon." Pei Yuan picked up the chopsticks and continued working, while Wang Wenbin looked at Ye Tan and said, "Is there any meat left?"

"Yes, there is a big pot over there."

"Come on!" Wang Wenbin said seriously.
Chapter completed!
