Chapter 283: I Can’t Tell You About That

Huan Yun took out a few pieces of paper that she and Xu Xiang had prepared before in the relay station, handed it to the old man, and said, "This is the planting method we are going to try this time. I have written in detail how to do it, how to prepare the land, how to take care of the crops, and how to take precaution to keep the crops out from pests."

The old man read the detailed instructions with widened eyes and said in amazement: "This is the first time I know that this planting method can be used."

Seeing that the old man was literate and seemed to have some status among the villagers, Xu Xiang asked, "Old Grandpa, are you the village chief?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Our village chief just passed away last month. I’m just an ordinary villager in this village."

When the old man talked about it, Xu Xiang observed the other villagers and found that their eyes were full of respect and gratitude for the old man. Since the old man is respected by the villagers, she can use him as a mediator between her and the villagers.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiang said, "Since the village chief has passed away, how about you supervise this project instead, Old Grandpa?"

"This..." The old man hesitated because he had never held any important position in his life.

Seeing his hesitation, the carpenter said, "Uncle Han, you just agree with that Young Lady. The Young Lady was introduced by you to us, and with you as our supervisor, it is more convenient for everyone."

Other villagers also expressed their opinions one after another, persuading the old man to be their supervisor. After some persuasion from the villagers, the old man finally agreed and said, "Then I will try my best to live up to everyone’s expectations of me."

Seeing that the supervisor’s matter was settled, Xu Xiang looked at the old man and said, "Old Grandpa, regarding the farm works, we need to wait for these big brothers to finish the water turbines first before we can start working on the farmland. For now, all we can do is wait."

The old man nodded and said, "All right. Then we will wait for now."

Seeing that their discussion was over, the carpenter looked at the disappointed villagers and said, "Brothers, do you want to help me with the water turbines? I need at least fifty people to complete five turbines by tomorrow morning. Before we start our work, I can share food and water with you first. We need energy before we can work, right?"

As soon as the carpenter’s words came out, the faces of other villagers lit up instantly. When they came, their family sent them out with high hopes, expecting them to come back with food and water. If they come back empty-handed, they really can’t face their families.

One of them looked at the carpenter and said, "Thank you, Brother Da Niu. Please count me in."

Da Niu patted the man on the shoulder, looked at the other villagers and asked, "How about all of you? Are you helping me with the work now, or are you waiting to do the farm work later?"

They are all farmers without any carpentry skills and knowledge. But they are all honest, hard-working, and not afraid of hard work. Seeing that they had the opportunity to earn food and water for their families, they all agreed to help Da Niu. Seeing that they were still lacking at least twenty people, one of the men volunteered to recruit more people from the village.

Seeing that Da Niu can arrange work by himself, Xu Xiang looked at the old man and said, "Old Grandpa, thank you for introducing me to the villagers."

She then took out a hand-held bamboo basket and handed it to the old man, saying, "This is for you, Old Grandpa. You can enjoy it with your family. Please accept this as my thanks for your help."

Han Yizi knew that he deserved it, and gratefully took the bamboo basket. Xu Xiang smiled at him, looked at Mu Yucheng and said, "Yucheng, I need to provide materials for the water turbines. Do you want to go back first or—"

Before Xu Xiang finished speaking, Mu Yucheng answered: "I will go with you."

After getting his answer, Xu Xiang looked at Huan Yun and Hu Wenfeng, and asked, "What about you two?"

Huan Yun’s body is weaker than ordinary people even after drinking a lot of supplements from Xu Xiang, so she said, "I want to go back to the relay station. There are still some plans that need to be reviewed and I want to complete it before tomorrow."

Looking at Xu Xiang, Hu Wenfeng smiled and said, "I will send Yun Yun back."

Since they all had their own plan, they separated after saying goodbye to Han Yizi. After Huan Yun and Hu Wenfeng left the village, Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng followed Da Niu and other villagers to his house. Stepping into Da Niu’s house yard, Xu Xiang directly took out the materials needed to make five water turbines.

Da Niu’s eyes light up when he sees the quality of the materials. As he was busy examining the materials, he asked, "Young Lady, where did these timbers come from? These timbers are the best quality timbers I have ever seen in my life."

Xu Xiang thought about the trees in her space that had grown into a vast forest, and said, "Sorry, I can’t tell you about that."

Hearing her answer, Da Niu smiled apologetically and said, "Ah... please forgive me. I shouldn’t ask such a secret."

After a moment of silence, he patted the wood and said, "By tomorrow at noon at the latest, the five water turbines will be completed."

Getting Da Niu’s promise, Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Then I will be waiting."
