With a soft "plop," Jiang An leaped gracefully from the sea like a mermaid and landed steadily on the raft.

This time, she timed it perfectly, just before the water-repelling beads failed, and successfully boarded the raft.

On the way back, Jiang An was lucky and encountered a group of plump bass, successfully catching several.

This voyage at sea can be described as a fruitful one.

Upon returning to the raft, the first thing Jiang An did was eagerly check his biggest find from this voyage—the two precious treasure chests.

She opened them without hesitation.

The first treasure chest contains: [A mid-level knife skills book, 2 servings of snail rice noodles, and 3 servings of braised beef noodles]

The second treasure chest surprised Jiang An greatly; it contained...

[Plant ripening agent*10, heat packs*5, 500ml bottles of milk*2]

These were all very practical items, which made Jiang feel at ease and satisfied.

Just then, a system notification sounded: "Ding! Intermediate swordsmanship skill detected. Do you want to learn it?"

Jiang An chose "yes" without hesitation.

In an instant, the scroll in her hand transformed into a dazzling stream of light and swiftly flew into her mind.

At the same time, a flood of knowledge about swordsmanship poured into her mind, greatly benefiting her.

To better master this new knowledge, Jiang An immediately took out his Tang sword from his backpack and began to practice diligently.

She wielded the long sword in her hand again and again, putting the sword techniques in her mind into practice.

After many attempts, I finally managed to perfectly integrate my movements with the knowledge in my mind.

When she put down the Tang sword, she was already able to skillfully use the newly learned sword techniques.

As for the plant ripening agent, Jiang An treasured it and kept it away.

You know, this is a rare treasure!

Simply bury the seeds in suitable soil, then gently pour the plant growth promoter onto the seedlings, and the plant will mature rapidly in just ten minutes.

"What an amazing thing!" Jiang An exclaimed.

However, Jiang An did not use such a precious item lightly, but planned to save it as a lifeline in a critical moment.

After all, Jiang An felt it was a waste and not worthwhile to use such a precious plant ripening agent to ripen an ordinary vegetable or fruit.

After tidying up all the harvested items, Jiang An walked briskly towards the kitchen.

It's noon now, time to prepare lunch.

Jiang An took out the fish meat from his backpack and then sliced ​​it into thin slices, each slice being the same size.

Jiang An's intermediate-level knife skills played a significant role in this process, enabling him to cut the fish at an exceptionally fast speed.

Soon, a large bowl of fish fillets was ready.

Next, she prepared various side dishes.

Afterwards, Jiang An began making sauerkraut fish.

She made a batch first, giving most of it to customers who had pre-ordered, and then packaged the rest and put it directly on the shelves of the food shop.

As the weather grew colder, Jiang An kept stamping her feet in the kitchen to warm herself up.

She didn't want to cook in the kitchen either, but the smell of the pickled fish was too strong. The simple shed in the kitchen could quickly absorb all kinds of oily fumes, which was far better than the earthen stove in the bedroom.

Then Jiang An put the remaining fish slices into the pot.

After cooking.
