This village looks bigger than the previous Lijia village. Chi Qingyu follows Xie Qiran and turns around the unfinished village. He is very satisfied.
"Now they won't be sleeping on the street." Chi Qingyu sighed.
Xie Qiran glanced at her and said, "now that there is a place to live, what is more worrying is that the land nearby is not conducive to planting. If they want to eat by planting grain, they will certainly have no harvest in the past year."
This kind of sharp evaluation makes Chi Qingyu feel helpless.
Indeed, although there is a place to live, survival is indeed a problem.
Their ability is to cultivate land, but the surrounding land used to be wasteland. Even if they start to cultivate now, the first year's harvest will not be good, so it's a problem to depend on it for food in the first year.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Xie Qiran asks Chi Qingyu.
Chi Qingyu also said, "I'm a doctor. I take medicine by treating diseases. They are farmers, so they live by growing crops. I can't think of a way out because of the different nature. But I think there are mountains all around here. There should be a lot of herbs. If you want me to teach them to recognize herbs, it's not impossible. "
Originally a joke, but poked in Xie Qiran's mind.
"That's a good idea." Xie Qiran said thoughtfully, "it's not necessary to know all the medicinal materials, but some simple and easy to recognize are OK. There is always a way to make money. "
Seeing that he was serious, Chi Qingyu said with a smile, "are you really going to do this? Then I'll have to arrange my time so that I won't be able to teach people. "
Xie Qiran nodded solemnly, "well, you have arranged your time. I'm asking you to teach."
"..." Chi Qingyu put away the smile on his face, "are you serious?"
Xie Qiran looked at Chi Qingyu and nodded solemnly, "seriously."
"..."
chi Qingyu draws back his eyes and helps his forehead.
"There is a long way to go." Xie Qiran patted Chi Qingyu on the shoulder, looking a little schadenfreude.
Chi Qingyu clapped his hand and said, "come on, you just can't see me idle. Find me something to do."
Xie Qiran raised the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
Because of Xie Qiran's sudden request, Chi Qingyu decided to go to the mountain while there was still time to see what typical herbs could be taught.
They walked along the village to the end of the village and saw a small slope in front of the mountain. The soil on the slope was red. From a distance, it looked like it was poisoned.
"That is..." looking at this, something flashed in Chi Qingyu's mind.
Half way through her speech, Xie Qiran looked along her line of sight, saw the red, and explained, "it was caused by the last landslide. There are landslides in this area nearby, which is much better than other places. "
"So..." Chi Qingyu walked toward the hillside, "I think I may have a better way to help them maintain their lives."
Xie Qiran was slightly stunned. When he came back, he was already in front of him.
A few steps to catch up with Chi Qingyu, Xie Qiran asked: "what do you think of?"
Chi Qingyu's eyes still fell on the red mountain. She knocked her forehead and said, "I remember that there is a kind of brick made of red clay. Let me think about the specific process. When I was at school, the teacher mentioned it."
"Go to school?" Xie Qiran sensitively caught the word and asked, "are you talking about school? And bricks. What is it? "
Chi Qingyu glanced at him and pulled the man behind him, so as not to block his sight. "It's a kind of thing for building houses, you don't understand."
Although Xie Qiran didn't know how to build a house, he also witnessed the process and didn't use what Chi Qingyu said.
"Although I don't know how to build a house, I've heard of the general materials, the red brick you said..." Xie Qiran asked, very curious about the new words that came out of Chi Qingyu's mouth.
Chi Qingyu then realized what he had just said. Before he knew it, he made the old mistake again.
Chi Qingyu covered his mouth and said awkwardly, "well, I don't know how to describe it to you. As long as you know, it's a feature of our hometown. It's dedicated to building houses."
"It's like this." Xie Qiran pondered: "you mean, can you teach them to do that?"
Chi Qingyu nodded and said, "invite the craftsmen in the city. Let's build a cave first."
"Cave dwelling? Are you going to make porcelain Xie Qiran asked again.
Chi Qingyu shook his head, took his hand, turned and walked back, "believe me, it's not porcelain. When it's made, you'll know how useful it is."
Since Chi Qingyu said so, Xie Qiran didn't continue to ask.
According to Chi Qingyu's idea, they go back to the city and find the famous craftsmen in the city.
Chi Qingyu talked with the craftsmen for two hours. All of Chi Qingyu's ideas and the cave models she wanted were drawn on paper.Fortunately, the caves Chi Qingyu needed are similar to those for kilns. For craftsmen, they are not too complicated.
With the support of the craftsmen, the next day they took the craftsmen to the village. Chi Qingyu chose a better position and asked the craftsmen to build the cave according to the previous discussion.
The construction of the cave could not be completed in a day or two. During the construction period, Chi Qingyu kept checking the progress. Under the high pressure, the cave was built in seven days.
After the cave was built, Chi Qingyu sent someone to dig out the red clay. From the first step, he slowly taught the villagers how to use the red clay to make red bricks.
When the red brick is made, another problem is how to use it in our life.
After the first batch of red bricks were made, Chi Qingyu used red bricks to build a wall. Compared with the wall they built with stones, the wall made of red bricks is naturally much better. The most important point is that the wall is red, which is unique in a group of houses made of wood.
"If you think it's monotonous, you can make some decorations." When explaining to the villagers, Chi Qingyu specially asked people to make some green vines and put them on red bricks for decoration.
After seeing Chi Qingyu's operation with her own eyes, the villagers are very convinced of Chi Qingyu. What she says is what she says.
It took half a month to teach a group of people, and Chi Qingyu's task was over.
Chi Qingyu retreats, and the next thing is not her responsibility. After working hard for a few days, Chi Qingyu goes back and has a good sleep.
