How many vats are there in rural families? What's the use now?

In the past, drinking water in rural areas was drawn from a well, then pumped into a large water tank at home, used slowly, and then pumped after use. So every family will prepare a big jar. The old people also said that they used to tell their daughters about their in-laws and go to the man's house to see their water tanks. By observing whether the water tank is clean and full, they can know whether the family has any plans to take care of their lives. But now every household has running water, and when the tap is turned on, the water will keep flowing. At this time, the old water tank is useless, so what other uses can it have?

You know, everything can come in handy Try not to waste it. The water tank won't hold water. Would you like to break it and throw it away? This is definitely impossible. The water tank won't hold water. We can use it to hold other things.

The first use is to pickle pickles. Rural people like to eat pickles, not because they can't afford big fish and big meat, but because the habit of eating pickles and porridge can't be changed, which is more comfortable than eating other stomachs. Every year, our family will pickle a lot of pickles in vats, including radish, mustard, radish, hachi pot and so on. Pickling these pickles requires a large vat, which can be pickled at one time and stored for eating slowly all year round, which is particularly convenient. Without vats, it wouldn't be so big and convenient.

The second purpose is to raise lotus flowers, which are elegant and really just right. How can the lotus, which should have grown in the big environment, move indoors and keep it at home? Use this big water tank. I have an uncle who lives in the countryside. There is a big backyard at home. Half of them grow all kinds of vegetables, and the other half have six big water tanks. There are lotus flowers in the water tank. It's really beautiful. Every summer, the lotus is in full bloom, sitting in the small yard to eat barbecue and enjoy the lotus. It's really beautiful in the world. Raising lotus flowers in a water tank has a unique charm.

The third purpose is to hold grain, eggs and the like. Put the food in the water tank so that you don't have to worry about being eaten by rats. No matter how bad a mouse's teeth are, it is impossible to chew up the water tank. There is a chicken farm in our village. No one comes to the village to collect eggs and can't sell them every year during the Spring Festival. They just pick up the eggs, put them in a tank that can hold a lot, and then sell them when they start working. Without a big water tank, the average container can't hold so many eggs.

But now in the countryside, there are not many such large water tanks at home. We do have a water tank at home, but it is very small. If you really think the water tank at home is useless, don't throw it away at will. People come to the countryside to collect these things every year. If you think it takes up space at home, you can sell it and make a small profit.
