How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 200: Digging Deep Holes and Storing Food
After dinner, Li Le took a shower and then returned to the house.

After a while, Zhao Yanran and her sister also came back after taking a bath.

The three of them were lying on the bed, and Zhao Yanran asked, "Brother Le, why did you buy so much food?"

"I can't explain this to you right away. Just do as I say, and you'll understand it later."

"Yeah! I understand, Brother Le."

Zhao Yanran is a smart woman. When they were having dinner before, she didn’t ask Li Le about this matter, but agreed immediately.

Although I have doubts, I have no choice but to do this in order to give everyone the impression that Li Le has the final say.

There are three people on the bed now, all of whom are her closest people, so she asked.

Although Li Le still didn't tell her why, she was smart enough not to continue asking.

"Brother Le, if we keep buying food, the house won't be able to hold much, right?" Zhao Yanhan said.

"I know, so I have to dig a cellar in the next period of time."

"Cell? Doesn't your house have a cellar?" Zhao Yanhan asked puzzledly.

"The one we had before was only a vegetable cellar, not a cellar. I plan to dig a bigger one specifically for storing food."

"Oh!"

After resting, sisters Li Le and Zhao Yanran played two canyon games, plowed two wet fields, and then went to sleep.

The two sisters were really not good at it. After just two rounds, they were too tired to continue.

Silent all night.

Li Le woke up refreshed early in the morning and slept soundly at night thanks to the fan.

It can be said that he slept until dawn, but Li Le was not the first one to wake up, because when he got up, Ma Feng and the others had already gotten up.

Some people were chopping wood, some were sweeping the floor, and some were sprinkling water in the yard to prevent dust.

Of course, they also couldn't stand Li Daila, the person who was making the fire in the kitchen. How could cooking be done without someone making the fire?

Li Le picked up his toiletries and went to wash up, then called over a few guys who had finished their work and said, "Everyone must be back before ten o'clock today."

"Ah! Brother, if you come back before ten o'clock, you won't be able to collect much." Ma Feng said with a frown.

"I know. Let's leave it like this for now. It's too hot. It's just right to be back before ten o'clock. And don't go out until after four in the afternoon."

"Brother, no need, we are not afraid of the heat." Niu Shuanzhu said, patting his chest.

"I know you are not afraid of the heat, but I have important things for you to do."

"Oh! So that's the case? Okay, I got it, brother." Gousheng nodded.

"Okay, eat first. After dinner, go to your sister-in-law to get the money. Don't forget to buy rice and flour."

"yes, Sir."

The breakfast was quite rich. There was a small bowl of boiled eggs alone, with at least twenty of them.

And this is only part of the breakfast. There are also steamed buns and millet porridge, not to mention pickles, which are a must.

After breakfast, everyone carried a kettle on the left and a schoolbag with a five-pointed star on the right, and then set off.

Li Le was dressed the same way. There was no other way. It was too hot in the summer and he couldn't go out without water.

Moreover, Li Le’s water is different. It is made with sugar and a little salt. The salt is very little and you can’t taste the saltiness.

It is mainly sweet, but even so, it has its benefits. You know, if you sweat too much, the body will lose a lot of salt.

Although Li Le also went out, he did not go to collect scrap, but went to the blacksmith shop in the back street.

Because he needs a lot of tools, some of which may not even be seen in the blacksmith shop.

So before going, Li Le drew a few pictures, which were roughly the same! They were all tools used to dig the ground in later generations. Unfortunately, most of those digging tools were electric, which are not available now, but there are some that do not require electricity.

For example, the Luoyang shovel is a magical tool for digging soil. This thing does not require electricity, but this thing did not exist in this era.

When I arrived at the blacksmith shop, the old man and his two apprentices were still there.

The last time Li Le hit someone with an iron rod was right here, so we know each other.

"Old man, I want to pack some things." Li Le said directly when he came up.

The last time I came, it was because the store was about to close. This time is different, as I came here just as it opened.

"Oh! What do you want to hit?" asked the old man.

"Take a look at these and see if they can be used." Li Le handed over a few drawings in his hand.

The old man took it and looked at it. Most of them were already in his possession, but the styles looked a little different.

There are two types that I haven't seen before, but they don't look complicated.

"You can have it. When do you want it?" the old man nodded and asked.

"I need it in the morning, it will take about two hours, I wonder if I can type it out?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine."

In fact, the iron blanks are already made in advance and only need to be processed, which can save a lot of time.

"Okay, let's start! How much money should I give you first?"

Although Li Le wanted it in a hurry, the old man did not charge him more money. The total amount was only 270,000 yuan. You have to know that this includes labor costs!

Then Li Le did not leave, but sat under a tree not far from the blacksmith shop and waited.

Of course, a palm-leaf fan is also essential, otherwise there will be too many mosquitoes.

As for mosquitoes, unless you keep moving, as long as you stop, even for one minute, there will be mosquitoes biting you.

The old man and his two apprentices worked hard for more than two hours and finally made what Li Le wanted.

Everyone was sweating and their faces were red from the fire.

But Li Le did not see any impatience or fatigue on their faces. Everyone had a hint of excitement.

Needless to say, this is the joy of making money.

Li Le took the things, put them on the tricycle and covered them with a bag, then said goodbye to the old man and went home.

When Li Le came back, Ma Feng and the others had also returned, and bought some rice and flour as Li Le had asked.

Now the rice and flour have been unloaded into the hood room, and several people are using fans in the room.

Seeing Li Le coming back, he ran out and asked, "Brother, why did you ask us to come back so early? What are you going to do?"

Li Le pointed at the tricycle and said, "Take the things on it and follow me."

Several guys quickly opened the bag, revealing the contents underneath. Although they were very curious, no one asked any questions. Instead, they took the contents and followed Li Le.

Li Le punched the door of the southernmost room in the east wing and said, "Come in!"

The reason for choosing this room is that it is far away from the vegetable cellar.

The vegetable cellar is between the east room and the east wing, about ten meters away from here, and this room is empty.

After a few guys came in, Li Le pointed to the middle of the house and said, "Dig a hole here. It doesn't need to be too big, but it must be big enough for people to get in."
