Chapter 59: Want to take a bath with us?
An hour later, as Chu Qinghe, who had gone out earlier, returned home, some craftsmen also followed behind, carrying some things, and headed towards the backyard under Chu Qinghe's command.
In addition to some tied and fixed bamboo tubes, there are also some huge iron barrels made of fine iron and some iron plates.
Looking at these things, not to mention Qu Feiyan, even Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue had doubts on their faces.
When these craftsmen entered the backyard, they were busy until the end of the afternoon.
After Chu Qinghe paid all the money and sent the craftsmen out, the three women in the yard followed Chu Qinghe as he walked towards the backyard.
As the three women followed Chu Qinghe into the backyard, they noticed the changes at the first moment.
At this time, in the backyard, the pool that Chu Qinghe originally planned to use for bathing had four low walls about half a meter high in the middle.
Next to this low wall are some bundled bamboo tubes.
One end of the bamboo tube was placed in the well in the corner of the backyard, next to it were some strangely shaped fan blades made of fine iron.
It is a bamboo water press.
And when Qu Feiyan condensed her palm and waved it at the fan blades of the sticker as Chu Qinghe said, the fan blades slowly rotated. In the sight of the three women, as the bamboo water pump on the well began to work, water began to be pumped out of the well through the bamboo tube and then injected into the iron bucket placed on the stove next to it.
"Hey, is this still possible?"
Looking at the water being sent into the iron bucket through the bamboo tube, Qu Feiyan's face was full of surprise.
Then he pointed at the iron bucket and said, "So, sir, you want to use this thing to pump the water out of the well, heat it through this iron bucket, and then inject it into the pool?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "That's about right!"
At first, Chu Qinghe was thinking of using artificial water pumping to draw water from the well and then put it into an iron bucket for heating.
But now, several people in this yard, including Chu Qinghe, all have martial arts skills. In this case, Chu Qinghe's thoughts naturally do not need to be as concrete as before.
Instead, we can just make it into this kind of wind-powered water pumping. Will the wind created by the palm of your hand also be effective?
Fortunately, these things are simple in principle and not difficult to make.
If there is anything that takes the longest time, it is the custom-made iron bucket.
Afterwards, while asking Qu Feiyan to fetch firewood for the fire, Chu Qinghe asked Dongfang Bubai to keep the iron fan beside the well turning.
As the iron fan spun, streams of water were poured into the iron bucket .
Half an hour later.
As the fire burned under the stove, the temperature of the water in the iron bucket gradually increased.
As Chu Qinghe pulled out a piece of iron sheet from the end of the bamboo tube next to the pool, water began to flow from the bamboo tube into the pool.
When the slightly turbulent water falls into the pool, mist rises slowly.
Seeing this scene, Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up.
Dongfang Bubai withdrew his gaze from the pool and looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "You spent the whole day just to get this thing?"
Facing Dongfang Bubai's question, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Not bad!"
Looking at the smiling face of Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai also smiled and found it funny in his heart.
Chu Qinghe is diligent! When he can sit in the yard for a whole day without moving his butt.
But Chu Qinghe is lazy! He can spend a whole day on such a small matter.
However, as he watched the hot water in the pool gradually increase, Dongfang Bubai's eyes couldn't help but show a bit of anticipation.
In the evening, after dinner, considering what to do next, Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue and Qu Feiyan's efficiency in the kitchen improved a lot.
When the three women entered the backyard, there were many lanterns in the backyard, illuminating the backyard brightly.
The pool was eight-tenths full, and the flow of water from the bamboo tube into the pool was much smaller.
A wisp of mist is rising from the pool of water.
Looking at the pool of warm water, Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up.
However, before the little girl could leave, she saw Chu Qinghe entering the backyard carrying a jar of wine and some clothes.
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan was surprised and asked, "Sir, you don't want to take a bath with us, do you?"
As he spoke, Qu Feiyan tightened his collar, and when he looked at Chu Qinghe, his face became more defensive.
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue, who were standing next to them, instantly shifted their gaze to Chu Qinghe.
Dongfang Bubai was fine. When he looked at Chu Qinghe, there was some interest in his eyes.
Yao Yue frowned subconsciously, but when her eyes fell on Chu Qinghe, looking at Chu Qinghe's handsome face, she withdrew her gaze unnoticeably and said nothing.
On the contrary, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Qu Feiyan's words and said, "Don't worry! I just added a curtain to separate the pool."
After hearing this, Qu Feiyan's expression relaxed and said, "That's good."
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe raised his hand unhappily and patted Qu Feiyan on the head, saying: "You are young, but you think a lot."
After being patted on the head by Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan curled her lips.
Then his eyes fell on Chu Qinghe. Looking at the jar of wine in Chu Qinghe's hand, Qu Feiyan asked curiously, "Sir, why are you bringing this wine over here?"
Chu Qinghe said: "It's boring just soaking it, so are you going to add something to it?"
Qu Feiyan was troubled when she heard this and said, "If we add these in, won't we smell like alcohol when we're done?"
Chu Qinghe said unhappily: "Why are there so many questions? We will know in a moment."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe carried the jar of wine into the pool, and the other women followed suit.
When they passed through the outer wall and entered the pool, Qu Feiyan and the other two girls discovered that the inside of the pool was indeed covered with a white curtain as Chu Qinghe said.
As Chu Qinghe walked to the edge of the pool, he opened the jar of wine and poured half of the wine into the pool.
When the wine was poured into the pool, the originally clear water instantly turned light red because of the wine.
Afterwards, as Chu Qinghe added some more medicinal powder, the water mist in the entire pool began to carry a strong aroma of wheat and a faint scent of wine.
When the aroma became stronger, Chu Qinghe took the jar of wine and walked forward a few steps.
At the same time, a lazy voice was also heard.
"I'll go in first. If you feel uncomfortable, we can soak separately later."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe lifted the curtain and walked to the other end.
After a while, the rustling sound of clothes being taken off came from the other side of the curtain.
Hearing the noise from the other side, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue both fell silent at this moment.
At this moment, both Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue had only one thought in their minds.
"That man is taking off his clothes."
