Waterworks. This particular one to get the mill going. It's amazing to think about how much work got into getting food in the old days. I mean, I go to Migros, Coop or Denner and immediately I have a dinner ready in no-time. Back then, they had to grow the crop, use the mill, then bake the things they wanted to eat. Like bread.
We also saw storage houses, where food were kept. The clever ones built it above ground, so that mice and rats wouldn't get to it, but imagine to eat something that were stored in autumn and had to be eaten in spring. No fresh veggies, no herbs. No wonder they died early!
