Zhao An might not have understood the complexity of the situation. The reason they were able to quickly construct the waterwheel was not due to their exceptional craftsmanship. The real reason was that he had prepared a batch of parts needed for the waterwheels long before, intending to use them to channel water from the Hutuo River into the fields.
Initially, he hoped to reduce the need for manual irrigation with the waterwheels, but due to a prolonged drought, the flow of the Hutuo River had significantly decreased, rendering the waterwheels useless. Those prepared parts were left idle, gathering dust in the warehouse.
Now, with a divine source of continuous water supply, even so, human effort was still needed to transport that water. Therefore, those previously useless parts found new purpose, replacing manual labor in transporting water.
In contrast, Xinghua Village was in a different situation; they were almost defenseless and lacked resources, meaning all components had to be newly produced. It was also uncertain how many skilled craftsmen there were among the Chu Family and Xiahou Family, as well as their respective skill levels.
Zhao Feng knew that to expedite the construction of the waterwheels, he needed to be well-prepared, especially in gathering all necessary tools and manufacturing plans. If there were many skilled artisans in the Chu Family and Xiahou Family, he could involve them in building multiple waterwheels together, thus accelerating the completion process. Even if there weren’t many craftsmen with advanced skills, he hoped to guide them using blueprints for simpler tasks while personally handling the more complex components and overall assembly; this approach could save a lot of time.
Faced with his father's anxiety, Zhao Feng slowly pulled out a large wooden box and said, "Father, your impatience won’t help; this is like how an emperor is not anxious while his officials are."
Upon hearing this, Zhao An became somewhat irritated and replied, "I’m only concerned for your well-being; how can you not care about such a rare opportunity?"
Zhao Feng responded, "I take this opportunity very seriously, but I don’t believe that flattery and cunning are the right approaches. I trust that if we work diligently and earnestly, we will naturally attract attention."
Hearing this, Zhao An shook his head and sighed, "In today’s society, being capable is far less valued than those who excel at sweet talk."
At that moment, another voice came from outside the courtyard: "Zhao An, I think Zhao Feng is absolutely right; empty talk harms the nation while practical work can strengthen it."
"Oh! It’s Immortal Sir! What brings you here unexpectedly?" Zhao An turned around to see Yun Xiao Yi entering the courtyard with a smile.
Zhao Feng set down the box in his hands and politely greeted Yun Xiao Yi as well. As she approached, Yun Xiao Yi gently patted Zhao An on the shoulder.
"Leader of the Zhao Clan, your mindset still needs further improvement," he said. "However, I have come this time to understand the types of livestock currently present in Zhao Family Village, as I need to rely on them to accomplish certain abilities."
Upon hearing this, Zhao An immediately responded, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will seriously work on my shortcomings. We have all common livestock available; I just need to know which specific ones you require."
Yun Xiao Yi pondered for a moment before replying, "The livestock needed includes cows, sheep, pigs, and rabbits. These animals can interact with Wheat or carrots, which can promote their breeding."
Yun Xiao Yi had initially considered including horses but decided against it due to the stringent breeding conditions required for them. To breed two horses, they must be fed Jin Ping or Golden Carrots. While he had both apples and carrots available, acquiring the gold needed to produce Jin Ping or Golden Carrots was quite challenging for him.
In reality, gold mines are scarce and not as widely found as iron mines; it might take extensive searching across the globe without guarantee of success. Moreover, in his previous life, he did not have a deep understanding of the specific distribution of gold mines in Hua Land. He had only heard in a short video that Qi Di had relatively rich underground gold resources.
Unfortunately, Qi Di was far from Ji Province Changshan County, and without someone familiar with the routes to guide him, he would not be able to identify where gold could be found. However, based on the fact that bones can be converted into Bone Meal in reality, theoretically, gold should also be usable for creating Jin Ping or Golden Carrots.
Nevertheless, this was not cost-effective. Gold is not as easily obtainable as bones; it is a highly precious metal. Furthermore, to ensure successful breeding between two horses, they must be fed Jin Ping or Golden Carrots, which incurs a high cost.
Previously, when he experimented with milking cows, he discovered that it was possible to successfully obtain milk even without a cow being present. From this observation, he deduced that even using two cows and feeding them Wheat might result in the breeding of calves.
To avoid unforeseen issues, Yun Xiao Yi suggested, "If possible, it is best to maintain a balanced gender ratio—at least one male and one female."
After that, he turned to Zhao Feng and said, "What you mentioned earlier was indeed quite good."
Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile.
"Thank you for your praise, my lord. I see you are carrying quite a few items; it seems rather inconvenient."
With that, Yun Xiao Yi took out an empty treasure chest and continued, "How about this? I'll give you a Storage Box. You can use it to hold all your belongings. Although it may still be a bit clumsy, it will definitely be much more convenient than what you have now. Additionally, it has a much larger capacity, allowing you to store more items."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement.
"Celestial Master, is this the ability to contain the Xumi within the Jie Zi to store treasures?"
He had verified this during his previous attempts at milking. The rules of My World were different from reality. Cows could still produce milk.
