SIAS Chapter 41.2

The next day, Yi Qingqing woke up on time again.

Last night, the progress of college entrance examination skills and planting skills increased by 1% each, but the progress of cooking skills increased by 5%.

A good master was indeed different. He explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, taught in detail, and helped her improve many of her shortcomings.

Thinking about the techniques of making handmade noodles that she learned from Master Wen last night, she decided to eat noodles in the morning.

After making noodles, she carried a small stool to the backyard and ate noodles in her neat little yard, feeling satisfied in her mouth and heart.

However, the noodles were not as good as Master Wen’s, but it had surpassed Master Zhu’s skills.

After filling her stomach, Yi Qingqing fetched water several times and watered the land. There was no water left in the water tank.

This morning, she only fetched water.

After going to the market yesterday, most of the educated youths slept in today.

Qian Lailai got up and opened the door to see Yi Qingqing carrying water back. She could tell from the thin sweat on her nose.

She was surprised, “You actually sweated just carrying a bucket of water.”

Yi Qingqing sighed, “I just ran back and forth, watering the land and filling the water tank. This bucket is too small. I will ask the old carpenter to order two larger ones later.”

Qian Lailai: “…”

She shouldn’t have asked!

She could only say dryly, “You’d better take some rest.”

Yi Qingqing nodded. She didn’t really feel tired at all. In fact, she felt quite relaxed.

She actually had a physique that was prone to sweating, but because she took the powerful Dali pills, her physical strength bar was raised, and the limit of sweating seemed a bit higher.

In fact, it was not very strenuous at this time.

After filling the water tank, Yi Qingqing went out through the back door with a backpack on her back and went to the old carpenter’s house first.

“It’s easy to make a big bucket, but I don’t have the skills to make a rocking chair, but a normal reclining chair is fine.” Said the old carpenter.

“Then, just make two buckets.” Yi Qingqing had to settle for the next best thing.

However, there was another carpenter in the village named Yun Guyuan.

Looking at the three small items he gave her yesterday, his craftsmanship was no worse than that of the old carpenter, and his skills might be even better.

It just so happened that she wanted to ask him to help make a small bow to prepare for her own hunting practice in the future. She had seen that the bows he and Gao Beizhu were carrying were also newly made, so there should be no problem.

Tomorrow at noon was the first time she had agreed to teach him how to cook, so she could ask him at that time.

At this moment, she planned to pick up some pebbles on the river and go back to lay them on the path between the ridges of her private plot so that she would not have to be afraid of getting her feet dirty when picking vegetables in the fields on rainy days.

[You found the sign-in location of the river in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in?]

[You found the Xiangshui Village Reed Marsh sign-in location. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in?]

These were two sign-in locations that she had never seen before.

As usual, Yi Qingqing tried all the sign-in locations that she didn’t understand the first time she found them.

[You sign in at the small river in Xiangshui Village and get a bucket of river fish.]

[You sign in at the Xiangshui Village Reed Marsh and get 50 wild duck eggs.]

In the backpack, there was a big bucket for river fish.

Yi Qingqing took a look and saw two carp, two crucian carp, two breams, and a grass carp. The bucket was so full that Yi Qingqing was afraid that they would suffocate to death.

The wild duck eggs were placed in a grass nest, which looked very beautiful.

After she learned how to make salted duck eggs from Master Wen, she would pickle all the eggs.

Duck eggs were best eaten when made into salted duck eggs. She really liked eating salted duck egg yolks.

However, this bucket of fish was still a good deal. Not only did she get a few fish, but she also got a big wooden barrel as a gift.
