Chapter 75 Ice Popsicle and Braised Pork

Regarding the water supply system and drainage system of Crimson City.

The water supply system is actually quite easy to set up, with the main work being the firing and laying of ceramic pipes.

On Earth, there are records of using ceramic pipes for water pipes as early as the Qin Dynasty, and even such historical relics have been preserved, indicating that the wisdom of ancient people should not be underestimated.

The drainage system also requires the use of ceramic pipes, but it can only remove simple domestic sewage.

Zhuang Yu thought to himself that it seemed necessary to fire a special filter like a washbasin.

The whole Crimson City became busy again, and Zhuang Yu's idea was to have the new small town's water supply system and drainage system ready before the envoys from White City arrived.

The ceramic pipes were fired before the houses were built, so there were already some, and the pipelines were planned and excavated from the beginning.

Zhuang Yu led the people to work overtime to lay them.

In these days, the whole small town was bustling, everyone came to see what was new.

There were also many children, who especially liked to roll on the second floor and laugh inexplicably when they looked out the French windows at the street.

Zhuang Yu was originally worried about the smell and formaldehyde in the new house, but with so many people, it's estimated that these things have been diluted.

Poor merchants from out of town occasionally heard excited discussions about the new houses in Crimson City, but they couldn't see them because they couldn't enter the city.

It was already several days later when the small town's water supply system and drainage system were completed.

In front of each building, there was a small platform, with a honeycomb coal stove placed on it, and a cement platform built, with a conspicuous water tank on top, and a ceramic pipe placed there.

The outlet of the water pipe had a switch; as long as you turned it, clear water would flow out.

A group of children were happily playing, washing their hands and feet until they were white and clean, their faces smiling brightly.

"Brother Yu said we have to wash up before going inside."

"We brought dust into the room the other day, and it took a long time to clean the floor every day."

Meanwhile, adults were marveling at the convenience of the water supply system.

They used to fetch water from the river, which already felt very convenient and satisfying. They had experienced times when there was not enough water at all, so fetching water from the river made them extremely satisfied.

But now, they didn't have to go out for water; it came by itself, truly running water.

It was completely unimaginable how Brother Yu did it, truly remarkable.

A group of children were eagerly looking at the adults, "Do you want to go inside? I'll turn on the tap for you to wash your hands and feet."

Because Zhuang Yu said we had to save water, we couldn't play with the tap randomly, so they waited there. If an adult wanted to go inside, they would turn on the tap for them to wash their hands and feet.

Zhuang Yu couldn't understand where the fun was in these children playing with the tap all day.

Not only the children, but even the adults could stare at the water tap for half a day.
