In the early morning, it started to drizzle again. Qin Yao donned a raincoat and a bamboo hat, grabbed a few simple tools and a set of paper and pen, skipped breakfast, and headed out early.
As she passed by her own fields, she glanced at the rice plants. Seeing nothing amiss, she quickly made her way to Jinshi Town.
Around 8:30 in the morning, Qin Yao arrived at Manager Wu's house in town.
Before going there, she bought two flatbreads made of mixed grains to fill her stomach, and when she arrived at Manager Wu's house, the two went straight to the site where the water mill was to be built.
In the whole Kaiyang County, most towns and villages were built near the river. Though it was the same body of water, due to different terrain, it formed various styles.
The section in Jinshi Town was wider and deeper compared to Lower River Village, but relatively gentle.
Nearby in the mountains, there were also streams and small waterfalls, providing ample water supply.
