Chapter 87: Chapter 87 The Waterwheel
Nian Shutong walked up to Rubble, where next to it stood a waterwheel about six or seven meters tall.
“Is the waterwheel ready?” Nian Shutong walked around the waterwheel, which indeed looked similar to the picture she had found.
“Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble has completed the task ahead of schedule.”
“Good, very good.”
Nian Shutong thought that she would install the waterwheel soon, as the rice field had nearly been cleaned up by Ha Ha. She was about to start water irrigation and prepare for seedling transplantation.
“Rubble, can you still make robots?”
Rubble sat on the ground and sighed, “Ms. Nian Shutong, have you forgotten how frail Rubble is?”
Hmm?
She hadn’t forgotten.
“Understood, you rest first. Whenever you’re not tired anymore, continue making some robots.”
“Okay, Rubble will rest now.”
Nian Shutong watched Rubble, who was about to lie down on the ground, and did not disturb him.

After walking around the waterwheel a couple more times, she found the leverage point, lifted it mightily, and walked toward the upstream of the river.
Rubble, lying on the ground, watched Nian Shutong walking past him, his metallic big mouth opening.
“What race are you, anyway?”
He was too puzzled, touching upon his blind spot in knowledge.
Meanwhile, Ha Ha working in the field, and Fu Yunhe peeling chestnuts, also saw Nian Shutong’s feat.
Ha Ha: Truly a perfect match with our Commander!
Fu Yunhe: I couldn’t even carry one of Nian Shutong’s fingers myself.
Nian Shutong didn’t care how demoralizing her actions were; she found the right spot, secured the waterwheel, and got the water flowing.
With each rotation, water was brought into a furrow; it seeped in at first, but as it slowly saturated, the water also began to flow.
Following the dug channels, it flowed into the prepared wheat fields.
After securing everything, Nian Shutong didn’t bother with it anymore and went to the rice seedling nursery.
Thanks to seed improvement and fertilizer application, the rice seedlings were already palm-length and ready for transplantation in two days.
She then returned to the small vegetable plots next to the small wooden house. The transplanted seedlings had taken root well; the little bok choys were sprouting pleasingly.
“Xiao Bai, can my potatoes use fertilizer now?”
“Drip! Host, you may now! After applying fertilizer, the potatoes will mature in twenty-five days.”
“Xiao He, I’m stepping out.”
Nian Shutong then left, which was merely to inform, not to seek approval.
She quickly reached the potato field, took out the system’s fertilizer, and began applying it.
The potatoes in one acre were quickly taken care of.
After completing the task, Nian Shutong didn’t return immediately but decided to get some meat to eat.
“Master, we can have fish.”
Daodao, who had completed today’s script transportation, knew exactly how Nian Shutong felt; the master had enough of eating this meat.
“Is it tasty?”
“It should be tasty. Plus, the fish here are toxin-free and have delicious meat.”
“Okay! Let’s have fish today.” Nian Shutong activated her Divine Sense, found a lake, didn’t need to go down the river, and used her Spiritual Power to net and scoop the fish.
“Slap, slap, slap,” several different fish appeared on the shore.
“Daodao, how do we eat this? They smell fishy!”
“Don’t worry, we’ll stew them.”
Stew them?
Nian Shutong didn’t quite understand, but she trusted Daodao.
She found a sturdy grass leaf, strung all the caught fish together, and according to Daodao’s request, bought potatoes, tomatoes, green peppers, eggplants, and a few other items.
Holding everything in her hands, Nian Shutong returned to the small wooden house.
Just as she reached the rice field, she heard Ha Ha’s conflicted voice.
“It’s stinky fish! Not tasty.”
“Good people don’t eat, give it to Xiao He.”
Across the field, Fu Yunhe, wanting to pretend he hadn’t heard, couldn’t because Ha Ha’s voice was too loud, and importantly, a hand was pointing at him.
Yet another day trying to deal with the wolf.
