Look, look.

It’ll even stick up a bit, everyone can see it.

It can even hook onto the bamboo.

Look.

When you lower it down, it flips itself over.

Even its “dog” can kiss it, you still don’t need it.

Yeah.

It’ll wrap all around you.

Stand on both sides.

Aiya.

I still need to, in a bit…

Hang it up and mess people up with it.

Lower this down slowly.

You’ve got three hundred meters, that’s plenty of room.

A simple semi-mechanized one.

This isn’t fully mechanized, just simple mechanization.

It’s got joints, it’s all jointed.

Then it brakes.

The master uses that phone to brake.

Brake pads.

Is it jointed?

Yeah, yeah, it’s jointed.

How could it be this long?

It’s all sections put together.

All connected in segments.

You know.

This isn’t one solid piece.

There are connectors too.

There are connectors.

There must be connectors.

Otherwise you couldn’t lower it.

See it?

Oh, jointed and connected.

They make all these connecting parts.

How do you know it’s full?

As long as you lower it to the right depth, it’s fine.

The water level is really deep now.

Then once it reaches enough depth,

water will flood in from the very bottom.

With this length lowered, it’s all sectional.

That way you know how deep it is.

Then the main pipe keeps going down.

Before, what did they use to drill hundreds of meters?

Probably.

It all depended on manual labor.

Right.

All done by hand.

Your eyesight is really sharp.

Oh.

Hey, look.

This technique.

The brine now is…

Can you use this directly to curdle tofu?

Use this to make tofu pudding?

The stuff for tofu pudding is made with salty water.

They also call it “lu.”

But it’s not the same kind

as the “lu” for tofu pudding.

Oh, that’s specifically for tofu pudding.

That one doesn’t even form salt.

When it crystallizes into salt, it’s fresh water.

Oh.

Three hundred meters.

No, more like two hundred meters.

That’s fresh water.

Fresh water tastes better.

Tastes better.

Oh, fresh water is tasty.

So what they’re drawing up here is fresh water?

Salt water.

It’s salt water, “lu” just means salt.

Oh.

Oh, it’s hit the marker depth.

The master has to haul it up all by himself.

All right, let the water flow.

The brine is coming out.

Fresh water.

Aiya, that feels so good, so good.

So refreshing.

This technique.

The show is over.

Use your hand as a fan.

This is a hundred jin of water.

Fan it a bit.

A hundred jin of water has been let out.

Aiya.

Hahaha.

Your teeth are really warm.

The cleanest there is, hey.

No pollution at all, no pollution.

Its concentration is really high.

No humidity problem.

Humidity, you know?
