Chapter 282: Ordered Water Turbines

Seeing that Xu Xiang and the carpenter had finished negotiating the price, Huan Yun handed over the blueprints to the carpenter and said, "We need five water turbines. Big Brother, how long did it take you to make them?"

This time, when the carpenter heard that five water turbines were needed, he was stunned. Five water turbines of this size would cost at least five hundred taels of silver, but Huan Yun could casually say that she wanted five of them.

As a former worker in the county town, the carpenter also met several wealthy merchants in the past, and those merchants were equally casual when talking about buying expensive things like Huan Yun right now.

The carpenter glanced at Huan Yun’s beautiful dress, then at Xu Xiang’s coarse cloth. Judging by the quality of their clothes, it should be the beautiful lady in the high quality clothes who pays for the water turbine.

Thinking of this, the carpenter took the water turbine blueprint from Huan Yun and said politely: "It will be completed within five days."

Xu Xiang and Huan Yun exchanged a glance, and both of them knew that they needed the water turbine before they could start their plan. Moreover, they don’t know when Xiao Shao will come back. If he comes back tomorrow, then they can only cancel this plan since following Xiao Shao is their top priority for now.

Xu Xiang looked at the carpenter and asked, "Can it be finished tomorrow? I can pay you more."

The carpenter was taken aback again, but quickly said, "I can finish five turbines tomorrow, but I need to hire more people, and I must start working now."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Then let’s start now."

After speaking, Xu Xiang waved her hand. A second later, twenty bags of white flour, thirty buckets of water, five bags of brown rice, twenty catties of fresh meat, and twenty catties of fresh cabbage appeared on the ground. The villagers were very surprised when they saw those things that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

A few seconds later, the old man came back to his senses, fell to his knees and said tremblingly: "This old one is blind and offends your excellency. Please forgive me, Lord Immortal."

Hearing the old man’s voice, the villagers came back to their senses. They all knelt down on the ground with their foreheads on the ground, and said in unison: "Please forgive us, Lord Immortal."

"Heavens!" Huan Yun exclaimed, startled by the villager’s sudden loud voice, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Xu Xiang was also taken aback by their sudden actions, but her expression was still calm. She looked at the villagers who were bowing to her, and then looked at Mu Yucheng, asking for help.

Seeing that she was at a loss, Mu Yucheng stood up, walked towards her, and said calmly: "Everyone, we are not immortal. Please stand up."

Hearing Mu Yucheng’s cold and calm voice, the villagers hesitated for a moment before standing up from the ground one after another.

After everyone stood up, Mu Yucheng said, "We went down the mountain this time with a purpose to train ourselves and help the common people. Restoring the land is part of our mission, so I hope everyone can lend us a helping hand."

After hearing his words, the villagers nodded to Mu Yucheng, and the old man said, "Venerable Master, please tell us what to do. We will try our best to help."

For ordinary villagers like them, the chance of encountering a cultivator is almost zero. To be able to see Mu Yucheng and the others today is already a blessing from heaven for them. The villagers deeply believe that every cultivator will protect the common people, so they are very willing to help them.

Mu Yucheng nodded to the villagers, then looked at Xu Xiang and gently asked, "Xiang’er, are you alright?"

Xu Xiang nodded and whispered in his ear: "I was just shocked. This is the first time someone bowed to me. I thought I was dead."

Hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Xiang lowered her voice, and whispered softly: "In my world, only those who are dead will be bowed by people. It is a taboo to bow towards someone who is still alive. It feels like those people cursed me to die early."

Hearing what she said, Mu Yucheng was amused by her vivid expressions and said, "The culture in your world is more tolerant than the culture of this world."

"Mhm. In my world, there is no hierarchy in social status. Everyone has equal status and freedom. You can do anything as long as you don’t break the law. But once you break the law, the punishment will make your life worse than death." Xu Xiang explained calmly.

Listening to Xu Xiang’s talk about her world made Mu Yucheng feel closer to her. He raised his hand, rubbed her cheek gently, and said, "That is quite fair."

While Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng were talking, Huan Yun and the carpenter had already listed the supplies that Xu Xiang had brought out. Because Huan Yun has the memory of the body’s original owner, she can read and write the words of this world. As for Xu Xiang, because of the Dragon and Phoenix Ring, she can also read and write the language of this world.

After Huan Yun handed over one copy of the list to the carpenter, he looked at Xu Xiang and asked, "Xu Xiang, do you want to talk to other villagers about the planting plans?"

Xu Xiang nodded to her and said, "Yes."

Hearing that it was finally their turn, the old man and other villagers looked at Xu Xiang and Huan Yun eagerly. When the villagers saw how much food and water Xu Xiang paid the carpenter just now, the other villagers couldn’t help looking forward to working for Xu Xiang.
