The repaired areas often had varying sizes of faint white scars, depending on the size of the damage.
Watching the old craftsman light the furnace and melt a pot of tin, Lian Manman suddenly realized. Simply put, this was clearly soldering.

When the flush toilet was finally installed and the water tank was filled, Lian Manman walked over and threw a shovelful of soil into the toilet bowl, then pulled the flushing cord. Water rushed down the outlet pipe, swirling around the white porcelain bowl and sweeping it clean with a particularly loud flush, leaving the inside spotless. Soon, the guards outside the western wall shouted, "Water is out!"
It was a success!
Lian Manman felt a bit elated.
The joy of Lord Chiang and Mr. Loo, standing by, was no less than that of Lian Manman.
