Chapter 174 Jinjiang Exclusive
Huo Tiankuo picked up an engineer shovel and lightly scratched the tip of the shovel with his finger, and a bloody wound immediately appeared on his fingertip.
"Is this also a weapon?" Huo Tiankuo's eyes sparkled.
Lu Xuan shook his head. "These are farm tools prepared for the disaster victims to plow the soil."
Huo Tiankuo: “???”
Using such a sharp weapon as a farm tool?
What a waste!
Lu Xuan asked him, "If you don't use it as a farm tool, do you have any other farm tools?"
Huo Tiankuo opened his mouth, speechless.
Indeed not.
Lu Xuan: So don’t be so pretentious, just use it when necessary to avoid affecting efficiency.
Lu Xuan casually sucked over an engineer shovel and explained to him its other uses.
For example, the head of the shovel can be rotated at will to become a hoe, the handle can be telescopically adjusted, the middle sections have knives, screws, whistle magnesium rods, and even a small flashlight, and the entire handle can be folded onto the shovel surface for easy carrying.
It looks like just a steel shovel, but in fact it has all kinds of small functions and its actual value is more expensive than cold weapons.
After hearing this, Huo Tiankuo was so surprised that he couldn't bear to put it down.
Lu Xuan said, "An engineer shovel is mainly used for tilling the soil and harvesting. General, you can consider renting it or buying it outright."
Huo Tiankuo: "Price?"
Lu Xuan: "The daily rent is 2 taels, and the selling price is 50 jin."
Huo Tiankuo said without hesitation: "Buy!"
Renting sounds cheap, but the accumulated amount is not a small amount. In the end, the engineer shovel does not belong to them, which is a big loss.
Whatever they buy is theirs, and they can use it as weapons when they are not tilling the land.
Huo Tiankuo bought 1,000 engineer shovels, and his debt increased by another 50,000 kilograms.
The shovels were quickly distributed to the Huo family soldiers who were on leave and the first batch of young and strong men.
Others who haven't got a turn can only wait in line.
The victims had originally worried that the newly thawed frozen soil would be hard and difficult to cultivate, but with the help of the engineer shovel, all problems were solved.
The engineers shoveled the ground as if it were cutting tofu. With a few whooshes, a large area of soil was easily turned over. Their efficiency was so high!
Not to mention the disaster victims who were excited, even the Huo family army felt that the new weapons they received yesterday were no longer as useful.
Lu Xuan looked at the people working hard and asked Huo Tiankuo, "It takes a lot of time to turn over a thousand acres of land. Do you want me to help turn over some of it?"
Huo Tiankuo's expression paused slightly.
With their labor situation, it would not be difficult to turn over all the land within a day, but he really wanted to see how many skills Lu Xuan had that he had not yet demonstrated.
Huo Tiankuo asked cautiously, "How much is the reward for turning over one acre of land?"
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter instantly.
[Hahahaha, General Huo has obviously developed PTSD from being exploited by the anchor. He wants money for everything, and he's such a money-hungry anchor.]
How can you say it's exploitation? He's clearly happy with the purchase. You can't accuse the streamer of exploitation just because he's poor.
[That's right, being expensive isn't a flaw of the item, it's a flaw of the product itself.]
Lu Xuan said, "Only ten kilograms of grain are needed per mu."
Huo Tiankuo was surprised. So cheap?
"but……"
Huo Tiankuo understood.
Sure enough, there are other additional conditions.
Lu Xuan said, "In exchange, I would like to invite some of the women in my family to Yunlu Village to help me process the food."
A large amount of radishes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, mushrooms and fruits piled up after two harvests during the rainy season.
Except for a small number of raffle prizes given away, most of them are still stored in the space. It is impossible to finish them all by relying on the women in the village who can afford the prizes.
However, the Huo family army has a large number of people, so it is no problem to borrow dozens of women who are good at working.
Huo Tiankuo's expression relaxed.
He thought Lu Xuan was going to make some difficult request, but it turned out to be just a small matter like this.
"No problem. I'll ask someone later if there are any female relatives willing to go."
I think many people would like to see the magical Yunlu Village with their own eyes.
…
When the ground began to shake without warning, the victims who were concentrating on their work immediately panicked.
"What's going on? Another earthquake!?"
The Huo family soldiers, who had been warned by the general in advance, stepped forward to comfort them, "Don't panic, everyone. It's Brother Lu who is using his magic to help us turn the soil."
The victims were stunned for a moment. Using magic to destroy the wasteland?
They looked at each other, and driven by curiosity, they couldn't help but find the greenhouse where Lu Xuan and Huo Tiankuo were and stretched their necks inside.
The ground in the greenhouse seemed to be alive and rolled automatically. The stones and vines buried underneath emerged from the ground on their own. The originally hard soil quickly became loose during the rolling and automatically formed rows of neat ridges.
Victims: “!!!”
Huo Tiankuo asked Lu Xuan to turn over a total of one hundred acres of land. As he went further in, more and more disaster victims came to watch.
The victims were completely impressed when they saw with their own eyes the power of the wood element and the ground automatically turned over.
Monsters definitely don't know how to farm. It's magic! It really is magic!
This young man Lu was truly enlightened by the gods!
Many of the elderly or simply superstitious victims knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Xuan on the spot, shouting "God bless you."
Live audience: Wow! A large-scale feudal superstition scene!
The Huo family army tried to persuade these disaster victims who were frightened by the magic for a long time before they finally got them to go back and continue working.
When leaving, the victims looked at Lu Xuan with eyes full of reluctance.
Lu Xuan: “…”
There were two hundred earthen kangs in front and one hundred acres of land in the back. Lu Xuan's supernatural powers were really consumed a lot. It was almost noon, so he found a place to rest and have lunch.
In order to avoid attracting hatred, Lu Xuan did not eat any big fish or meat. He just took three nutritional supplements and drank them.
Huo Tiankuo took a breath when he saw this and asked in surprise, "You eat three at once? Won't you feel full?"
Yesterday he ate a whole bottle of nutritional supplement to test its satiety level, and he is still full now.
Lu Xuan said, "Those with special abilities...those who understand immortal arts all have big appetites. The three sticks are just to keep from getting hungry."
Huo Tiankuo was shocked when he heard this.
Each of them only consumes one in three days, but Lu Xuan alone has to eat ten or even more in one day?
If this is the case with nutritional supplements, wouldn’t we eat more if it were converted into food?
As expected, people without some capital are not even worthy of possessing magical powers.
·
After dinner, Lu Xuan came to the cultivated greenhouse, took out the plant protection machine, herbicide, and plant nutrient solution, and taught the victims how to use them while operating them.
The first thing to use is still herbicide.
No weeds grow in winter, but there are definitely a lot of grass seeds in the ground. If you don't remove them, they will definitely grow once the plant nutrient solution is available.
Although weeds certainly can't compete with mutant plants for nutrients, isn't taking a little bit still taking it? They still need to be removed.
The victims had heard about the "plant protection chicken" from the soldiers, and were a little surprised when they saw the real thing.
This doesn’t look like a chicken, why is it called Plant Protection Chicken?
It was not until the plant protection chicken really flew into the sky that the victims raised their heads and opened their mouths wide.
"The chicken really flew into the sky!"
Audience in the live broadcast room: Pfft, a fucking chicken flew into the sky, are these ancient people trying to make them die of laughter?
The plant protection machine sprays herbicides along the ridges of the field, and after spraying a row, it automatically changes rows according to the set route.
After the weeder finishes spraying, I switch to taking the plant nutrient solution from a box and continue spraying it, then switch to watering.
Finally, sow the seeds.
During the entire process, Lu Xuan only needed to swipe a few times on the remote control screen, with almost no effort.
The disaster victims and the Huo family army, who had never seen such a magical way of farming, were stunned.
This is so convenient!
Apart from tilling the soil, they hardly have to do anything...
No, they still have to get their own water for irrigation.
In the past two days, they wasted a lot of firewood and time just to shovel out the snow in the greenhouse and boil water to make it.
And this work will obviously continue in the future.
They also have to manually cover the soil on the ground where the seeds are sown.
The water consumption for one thousand acres is too huge. It takes too much time to cook it in a small pot or wait for it to melt on its own. Huo Tiankuo had no choice but to ask Lu Xuan to replace it with a lot of large iron pots.
Debt paid off is +1 again.
We lost some time in the morning because of building the greenhouse, so even with Lu Xuan's share, we only reclaimed 400 acres. However, with everyone working together in the afternoon, it should be no problem to reclaim all the land within a day.
Multiple plant protection machines were used simultaneously, and the victims completed the weeding, fertilizing and sowing processes almost at the same time as they cultivated the land.
The first batch of grain was to pay off Lu Xuan’s debts, so the types of crops were all chosen by Lu Xuan.
Because they all need to be recycled, they mainly focus on high-yield species.
Sweet potatoes, corn, yams, potatoes, soybeans, followed by wheat, dry rice, as well as cabbage, radish, cucumber, pepper and other vegetables suitable for making pickles.
At that time, the collected seeds will be directly returned to the Star Alliance for planting, and the fruits will be processed to earn points.
That night, Lu Xuan stayed in the camp for another night.
Early in the morning of the fifth day, he took the floating bus back to Yunlu Village with the fifty expectant female workers that Huo Tiankuo had helped recruit.
·
Lu Xuan informed the village in advance. As soon as they got off the car, the female relatives headed by Miao Jinfeng came forward to greet them warmly and directly took away the female workers in the Huo family army.
These female workers were obviously a little restrained when they suddenly arrived in Yunlu Village, where the living conditions were obviously much better than theirs. At the same time, they couldn't help but look around, with curiosity and yearning clearly written on their faces.
Although Lu Xuan called them over to work, he still asked Miao Jinfeng to take them on a tour along the route Huo Tiankuo had taken before they started working.
Because the mushrooms and fruits had just been harvested, the mushroom house and fruit orchard did not look as visually impactful, but the female workers still looked very satisfied and envious.
Finally, the group was led to a newly built processing shed.
The processing shed is equipped with air conditioning like the greenhouse. In order to prevent the food from spoiling, the temperature is not high, but it is not cold either.
After returning home and checking the training results of the young and strong men in the past few days, Lu Xuan was already waiting there.
There were also mountains of supplies that had been taken out in advance, including a row of iron pots, plastic boxes, dryers, large ovens and other supplies.
The women of the Li and Zhang families, Aunt Chen, Su Ying and others who have close relations with the Lu family all put aside their own affairs and came over to instruct the new female workers on the processing procedures, while also providing supervision.
Lu Xuan didn't care about anything else and was only responsible for speeding up the processing of supernatural powers.
The wind system was grinding meat, slicing meat, cutting fruit, and adding pickled pepper water to speed up the absorption of flavor. The new female workers were dazzled and exclaimed in surprise.
Someone couldn't help but ask the women in the village out of curiosity, "Do the men in the village know such powerful magic?"
Wu Yinyin said, "Lu Xuan is the most powerful. My husband and the others in the village are far behind him. If it weren't for Lu Xuan, they wouldn't be able to obtain immortal arts."
The female workers were shocked. "Not only does he have magical skills himself, but he can also give magical skills to others!?"
Wu Yinyin wasn't sure if Lu Xuan had told General Huo about the evolutionary fluid, so she said vaguely, "About the same."
The female workers, especially the young female workers, looked at Lu Xuan with a noticeably more burning and eager gaze.
Miao Jinfeng frowned slightly after noticing this and said casually, "Ah Xuan has been enlightened by the gods, so he is naturally powerful. If nothing unexpected happens, he may even be able to ascend to the fairyland and become a god in the future."
"Being favored by the gods, Ah Xuan is no longer on the same level as us ordinary people. Maybe he can even marry a fairy in the future."
The young female workers who had just begun to feel a little bit of romantic interest were poured a bucket of cold water, and the little thoughts that had just emerged disappeared in an instant.
Wu Yinyin secretly gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up.
Miao Jinfeng raised her chin proudly.
She said this not only to prevent anyone from trying to get close to Lu Xuan, but she truly felt that no woman in the world was worthy of Lu Xuan. Their realms were too different and they simply couldn't get along.
Some sharp-eyed and sharp-eared viewers in the live broadcast room noticed the commotion and immediately started making fun of it.
[Anchor, it seems someone has taken a fancy to you.]
[The host is so amazing, it's normal for him to have a few romantic interests. If they weren't so far away, I'd want to pursue him!]
[Unfortunately, the peach blossoms were snuffed out by the village head's wife just as they appeared.]
Aunt Miao did a great job! I don't look down on these female workers, but the gap between them and the anchors is huge in every aspect. If they were to work together purely to help the poor, it would be a big loss.
[Isn't the host moved at all? 】
[In fact, there is a certain probability that similar special abilities will be inherited. Doesn't the anchor intend to pass on his excellent genes? ]
[Why should I stay?! If I have to stay, I want to stay in the Star Alliance! The ancient people's genes are too primitive, and the probability of inheritance is low. Streamer, please don't do anything stupid!]
Lu Xuan: “…” You guys said everything, what did I say?
"Don't worry, I won't get married."
He had no plans to get married, whether in this plane or in the Star Alliance, which he didn't know if he would have the chance to visit in this lifetime.
Getting married will only affect the speed at which he earns points and conquers the sea of stars.
…
After Miao Jinfeng poured a basin of cold water on the female workers, they quickly adjusted their attitude and concentrated on their work.
At first, the female workers didn't dare to chat casually, but Miao Jinfeng and others took the initiative to open the conversation, and they also started chatting.
When they were at the Huo family army camp, Miao Jinfeng and the others had already told them about some of their past experiences, but the female workers still couldn't help but ask them again, asking them to talk about it in detail.
"Can we really harvest over a thousand kilograms of crops per acre in the greenhouse?"
"The house you live in looks much more beautiful than the mansions of the big families I've seen before. Can I go in and take a look later?"
"Do all of you have biological suits? Doesn't that mean you haven't been cold since winter began?"
As long as the questions did not involve any sensitive topics, the women in the village answered them patiently.
The more they talked, the more envious the female workers became of the people of Yunlu Village.
In particular, they noticed that many women in Yunlu Village looked really fair-skinned and tender, as if they had not suffered at all from the disaster.
If they hadn't said themselves that they were just from a small village, the female workers would have even suspected them, especially Su Ying, who was wearing a bright pomegranate red coat and skirt that showed off her figure in the middle of winter, and thought she was a lady from the city.
Because Su Ying was the most eye-catching in the crowd, many female workers focused their attention on her, so when she took hot juice from the space to drink because of dry mouth, she was discovered immediately.
The female workers exclaimed, "You, you also know the magic of telekinesis!?"
Su Ying glanced at them and chuckled, "This isn't a magic technique, it's a magical item, right? Didn't your general tell you that this is called a space ring, and it can hold a lot of supplies."
The female workers recalled what the general had said a few days ago when he took something out of thin air.
At that time, I did say that it was not a magic, but I didn't mention anything about the space ring. Maybe I forgot to mention it because they asked other questions.
A moment later, a female worker suddenly realized something and quickly glanced at the hands of the other women in the village. She cried out in disbelief, "You, you all have space rings—!?"
What! ?
The other female workers were shocked and hurried to check, and found that it was true!
Although the styles were different, everyone was wearing a ring on their hand.
How is this possible!?
Except for a small number of women who have the final say at home and have strong personalities, such valuable items that can be used to store household supplies must be kept by the men in the family.
The women in Yunlu Village each have one, so it's impossible that only women are in charge in their village.
Then there is only one possibility.
Each of them has more than one space ring!
The female workers who came to this conclusion changed their expressions, and their envy of the women in Yunlu Village reached its peak in an instant.
They are all women, why is there such a big gap between them! ?
At least one-third of the people wanted to join Yunlu Village.
They dared not think about the men's magic - they still didn't know that magic was not exclusive to men - but after joining Yunlu Village, could they also look forward to having a space ring of their own?
Even if not, the conditions in Yunlu Village are so good that becoming one of them can allow you to live a better life than now.
General Huo will return to the northwest with his personal soldiers sooner or later, but they may not follow him. It is understandable that they make plans for themselves in advance, right?
They were not greedy. Knowing that Lu Xuan was not someone they could reach, they stopped having any more fantasies.
But is Lu Xuan the only bachelor in Yunlu Village?
The female workers, their minds wandering again, began to inquire about the bachelors in the village subtly.
These were not secrets, and Miao Jinfeng and others did not hide them, so the female workers easily got what they wanted.
Li Tuo, the village chief's youngest son;
Aunt Chen's son, Chen Rong, who has the supernatural power of speed;
Wu Yang, the son of Wu Hunter, is an expert hunter with the ability to enhance his vision...
The female workers who thought they had some capital secretly took note of these most outstanding young men and thought about how to find a way to actually get in touch with them.
