Chapter 25 Qin Zhi Taming the Horse
Today, Qin Zhi planned to bring spring water into the courtyard. Although there was a stream 50 meters outside the courtyard, it was still not convenient enough for Qin Zhi, who was used to using tap water in his previous life.
Qin Zhi had already prepared water pipes that could be buried underground, and the route was also the optimal route that had been surveyed in advance.
The mother and her two daughters dug a ditch that extended to the outside of the kitchen in the backyard, and then buried the water pipe in the ditch.
Qin Zhi prepared a marble sink in the backyard in advance. The sink was more than three feet high, which was comfortable for standing while washing clothes and vegetables. A faucet was installed on the sink, which was directly connected to the water pipe buried in the ground.
Turn on the faucet, and the muddy yellow spring water flows out, and becomes extremely clear after a moment.
Shen was extremely shocked when she saw it. Although Qin Zhi had told her about it before the installation, she still couldn't believe it without seeing it with her own eyes. This is really too convenient. I'm afraid that the officials in the capital have never seen this.
Qin Zhen also found it very novel and tried it again and again.
Qin Zhi was still experimenting, and added a three-way device to the water pipe joint. He installed a floor faucet next to the sink, which was two feet above the ground, so that it would be convenient to collect water with a bucket or basin.
The other water inlet of the three-way device is connected to the water pipe directly to the bathroom. Qin Zhi later bought a solar water heater on Pinduoduo and installed it on the roof of the bathroom according to the instructions.
After doing all this, Qin Zhi began to plant some green plants in the front and back yards.
There are many fruit trees in the space, and they are all nourished by the spiritual energy of the space, so their survival rate is also high.
A persimmon tree and a jujube tree were planted in the front yard, close to the courtyard wall so as not to block the light in the room.
The backyard is large, and in addition to the planned vegetable plots, there is also a lot of open space.
Qin Zhi planted a few asparagus ferns and a few rose plants on one side, and a row of orange trees on the other side facing the sun, and transplanted a large tree with lush branches and leaves next to it to provide shade.
After finishing all this, it was already noon. The weather was hot and the three of us, mother and daughter, were sweating profusely. It was a good opportunity to test the effect of the solar water heater.
The three of them lined up to take a shower. When the hot water came out of the shower, Qin Zhi was so excited.
Qin Zhi brought out three bowls of ice jelly. A set of tables and chairs had been placed under the newly transplanted tree. The three of them sat at the table and ate the ice jelly, which immediately relieved most of the heat.
Speaking of ice jelly, the Qin family has formulated a series of reward and punishment measures for the ice jelly recipe that was donated to the Qin family. First of all, it is confidential. If anyone leaks the recipe, they will be expelled from the Qin family. In this era, people attach great importance to family, and those who are expelled from the family are considered to have no family protection. Secondly, there will be a division of labor, from picking ice grass seeds to rubbing ice jelly, and then picking it out to sell, everyone has their own duties. The family will distribute the profits according to the degree of hard work of each division of labor. Finally, 30% of the total profit will be left to donate to the clan's education cause.
Qin Zhi very much agreed with this move, as it could mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and prevent the recipe from being leaked by someone with ulterior motives.
"Hey, I used to feel very fulfilled when I went to sell ice jelly every day, but now I'm bored." Shen sighed, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "I almost forgot that there is such a large piece of land in the yard. I'll clean it up and plant vegetables."
"Mom, there's no rush. It's too hot now. Let's clean up when the weather gets cooler." Qin Zhen said to Shen with a smile.
"Yes, Mom, we don't lack anything now. Why don't you stay at home and make a few new dresses for me and my sister. We still have a lot of fabric left from the last time we bought." Qin Zhi also agreed.
"Okay, mother will make new clothes for you and dress you two up beautifully." Shen also agreed with a smile.
In the afternoon, Qin Zhi took a nap and then entered the space.
The crops in the space have matured. Looking at the endless rice fields and wheat fields, everything is golden wherever you look.
Qin Zhi harvested the wheat and rice with his mind, husked them, and put them into the warehouse, which was already full of grain.
Qin Zhi also harvested potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, but their yields were so high that they had to be piled outside the warehouse.
Qin Zhi planted the next round of crops in the cleared fields.
Then, Qin Zhi went to the pasture. A group of wild boars were running around on the grass, and a group of blue sheep were grazing leisurely on the grass, not at all uncomfortable with the change of environment.
On the other side, separated by wooden fences, were more than 4,000 wild horses running freely on the vast grassland.
Qin Zhi took a fancy to a reddish-brown horse that had been tied to a tree stump with a bridle. Qin Zhi planned to tame this unruly wild horse today.
Qin Zhi untied the reins and mounted the horse. The chestnut horse immediately stood up and roared to the sky.
Qin Zhi sat firmly on the horse's back and gently stroked its back, trying to calm it down. But this horse was born to be a warrior, and it stood up again, as if to convey that orcs would never be slaves.
Qin Zhi continued to stroke its back, and the chestnut horse gradually calmed down, as if it had adapted to his comfort.
Suddenly, it started to get irritable, perhaps gathering enough strength to try to break free from the restraints, but this was doomed to be futile.
The chestnut horse ran wildly and kicked back, trying to throw Qin Zhi off. However, Qin Zhi was thrown to the ground by the horse despite its crazy jumping.
Qin Zhi lay on the grass in pain. She was still unwilling to give in and circled around the red horse again, taking advantage of its unpreparedness to jump onto its back again. The red horse ran wildly and threw Qin Zhi off its back again.
Qin Zhi was in pain. She pulled the reins of the chestnut horse. The chestnut horse was frightened and pulled Qin Zhi to run away. Qin Zhi was dragged by the chestnut horse all the way. She held the reins tightly and refused to let go. But she was exhausted and the chestnut horse finally ran away.
Qin Zhi was exhausted and lay on the ground to rest.
After resting for half an hour, Qin Zhi pushed a brand new motorcycle out of the villa, mounted the motorcycle, and sped away.
Seeing Qin Zhi catching up, the red horse ran even more arrogantly, just like Lu Bu among men and Red Hare among horses. Qin Zhi chased closely, but the wild horse was not stupid and changed lanes directly. Qin Zhi suffered a lot and was almost hit by a tree.
The chestnut horse came running towards them, raising a cloud of dust. Qin Zhi had no choice but to continue his race, desperately chasing it, and finally captured the stubborn wild horse.
Qin Zhi went over and patted the horse's head to calm it down, and the horse gradually calmed down. Qin Zhi held a handful of spiritual spring water with both hands, and the horse's eyes lit up, and it quietly lowered its head to drink the spiritual spring water in Qin Zhi's hands.
The chestnut horse knelt on its front legs, signaling Qin Zhi to get on the horse. Qin Zhi was surprised and understood what the horse meant, so he got on the horse. The chestnut horse put aside its grudges and galloped with Qin Zhi on the grass. At this moment, their hearts were completely united, becoming an inseparable bond between them.
The chestnut horse neighed to the sky, and thousands of horses galloped towards us.
It turns out that the bay horse is the king of the horse herd.
The chestnut horse knelt on its front legs, and the wild horses behind it also knelt on their front legs to show their submission.
Qin Zhi's heart was in turmoil. It seemed that it made sense to catch the king first.
In order to reward these horses who knew the situation, Qin Zhi led them to the spiritual spring.
The wild horses seemed to have broken free from their shackles and ran towards the spiritual spring.
