After returning to the house, Yi Qingqing’s heart was beating wildly. Then, she entered the skill-teaching mode of incense making.
Master Bai was still sitting at the long table in the yard. Leaning sideways with her hand supporting her forehead, she closed her eyes and rested her mind.
The incense burner at the foot of the table was emitting curling green smoke.
Yi Qingqing sniffed and found that it was Master Bai’s homemade locust incense.
Looking up, she saw the locust tree in the yard was in full bloom. The fragrance of the locust flowers mixed with this locust scent smelled particularly calming and soothing.
Master Bai’s favorite is locust incense, which has the effect of concentrating the mind and calming the breath.
She also sat down beside the incense table she used for study, closing her eyes and smelling the incense just like Master Bai.
This was her latest discovered method of meditation.
Although she had only learned the simplest mosquito repellent incense now, it did not stop her from rubbing the incense.
This was different from eating for free in the cooking skills teaching mode, where she just tasted the flavor but didn’t feel full. It could satisfy her craving but had no practical significance.
But Master Bai’s locust fragrance could really calm her mind after smelling it for a while. It targeted the mind, and this state could be continued after she went out.
Sometimes, smelling the fragrance of locust trees here and then going to study in other skill-learning modes could help her concentrate a lot. This was really a learning tool.
Master Bai seemed to know her little thoughts, so now every time she came in, she ignored her.
Before, she would raise her eyes, say ‘You are here’, and then start teaching.
Now she just lets her do it. Only when she calls her will she start teaching.
Today is the same.
A master and a disciple sniffed the fragrance of locust trees, and no one spoke.
It was not until Yi Qingqing felt that she had regained her composure that she bowed to Master Bai and then disappeared.
When she came out, it was still early and bright outside. She started working efficiently.
The salted duck eggs pickled in the jar reached their date yesterday. She was too busy to clean them up yesterday, so she had to wash them all today.
She went out with two large buckets on her shoulders to fetch water from the front yard.
When she met Yun Guyuan who was coming back from fetching water, she nodded and greeted him calmly, “Comrade Yun, are you fetching water?”
She saw that he was carrying the same large bucket as hers and then looked at his still upright body and the full bucket of water. He seemed to be very comfortable.
She couldn’t help but say, “Did you get a new bucket too? It’s more convenient to get water with a big bucket, right? You look in good shape!”
Which of the other male educated youths in the educated youth point could carry this big bucket so steadily? Every time she passed by with water, the awe-inspiring looks she received explained the problem.
“Yeah.” Yun Guyuan curled the corners of his mouth.
After passing each other, Yi Qingqing continued to walk out.
Master Bai’s incense was amazing. It had only been a short time, but she was no longer embarrassed or nervous. She needed to study the art of incense more and strive to make her own incense.
She fetched two full buckets of water, carried them to the backyard, and poured them into a large wooden basin. Then, she brought over two jars of salted duck eggs and opened them.
She put the muddy duck eggs into the basin one by one, scrubbed the mud with water to clean them, and placed them in a basket with hay on the side.
After washing a dozen or so, she stopped temporarily and took the eggs to the stove.
The stove was still burning, and a piece of fat and lean bacon was being cooked in the pot.
It had been cooked for a while, not completely cooked, but it had already become softer and was easy to cut.
