Chapter 24 September 21st

Yu Zhu consumed 1 stone and polished 5 stone arrows. The repair was completed, and the name of the stone arrow was marked in red. He got a new prompt: each stone arrow can only be repaired once. The unrepaired stone arrow will not affect its use, but its damage and accuracy will be significantly reduced.

Weapons like bows and arrows, if their accuracy is reduced, may even be worse than ordinary weapons.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to repair. Although each stone arrow can only be repaired once, it is already very good and can save Yu Zhu a lot of stone materials.

Because stone is a new resource that appears after the novice period, the price is slightly higher. The exchange rate in the trading area is 4 wooden boards = 2 palm leaves = 2 plastics = 1 stone. Currently, the quantity is scarce, and no one is selling stones. Most people keep them in their hands.

Only players who really can't make ends meet will choose to sell them, but Yu Zhu can't keep an eye on the trading area all the time. Fortunately, there is not much shortage now, and she doesn't plan to buy them privately. Besides, she has sold a lot of stone axes, and the supplies are stored in the trading area and have not been collected. The remaining stone arrow can be repaired later.

Yu Zhu had previously set up an automatic vending function, which would allow him to independently produce finished products and sell them to buyers upon receiving an order.

This function is a new permission that is activated when Yu Zhu's total sales exceed 100. It is very user-friendly and reduces her unnecessary operation space, which is very convenient.

3:40 p.m.

Considering that there is now more fresh water, Yu Zhu's desire to engage in planting can no longer be suppressed. She bought two small wooden basins in the trading area, spending 24 planks and 16 ropes, and the remaining planks are 3710 and ropes are 93.

After harvesting cherry tomatoes in the morning, Yu Zhu planted cucumbers, thinking that he could eat two cucumbers to cool down in the hot weather. The planting period is the same as that of cabbage, which is two days. The seeds were also buried in the other two newly bought small wooden basins. The four small wooden basins were placed in a row, which was exactly four rows.

The first pot: cucumber + cabbage + jujube

The second pot: strawberry + cherry + lychee

The third pot: leek + spinach + peach

The fourth pot: dragon fruit + apple + orange

Among them, the planting period of leek is only 6 hours, the planting period of spinach is 1 day, and the planting period of other seeds is 3 days.

Things that will ripen today: cabbage, leeks.

Although the small wooden basins were placed under a simple shed, Yu Zhu adjusted the angle according to the direction of the sunlight, giving them appropriate light in the morning when it was not too hot.

As the temperature and sunlight gradually rise, the sunlight will be blocked by the simple shed, allowing the seeds to thrive under constant temperature protection.

After squatting in front of the small wooden basin and fiddling with it for a long time, Yu Zhu poured another 350ml of water. After planting cucumbers in the morning, she was so busy eating cherry tomatoes that she forgot to water it. Now she watered it together with the 6 newly planted seeds, and there was 3900ml of water left.

According to Yu Zhu's observation, the time for watering seeds does not need to be particularly strict. As long as you don't forget to water them one day/for a long time, it will not have much impact on the development of the seeds.

After finishing the planting, it was already 4:00 pm.

Yu Zhu felt that she had almost recovered. If she lay down any longer she would turn into noodles. She had to get up and move around.

Taking advantage of the fact that the temperature has dropped but not yet reached its coldest point, Yu Zhu prepared to exercise.

The simple water purifiers start working at 9 am every day and finish get off work at 3 pm. Yu Zhu is responsible for "picking them up and dropping them off", carrying them back to the simple shed, and moving the rocking chair aside to make room for himself. The entire area under the parasol seems much more spacious, with only Meihua, who looks confused, left.

Plum Blossom: “Huh?”

The next second, chicken feathers flew everywhere, making its already limited feather supply even worse.

This was not Yu Zhugan's fault, it was simply Meihua scaring herself.

As Yu Zhu's punches and kicks became more and more fierce, Meihua was frightened and flew off on the spot. Unfortunately, she didn't have many feathers on her wings, so she couldn't fly too high.

Originally, Meihua wanted to take emergency shelter under a makeshift shed, but as soon as she took a step forward and touched the sunlight, she quickly retracted it. She really couldn't bear to leave the coolness under the parasol.

Plum Blossom: “Ah!!!”

Isn’t this too hot?

It doesn't want to become a roast chicken!

There was no other way, Meihua could only start moving, keeping a safe distance from Yu Zhu, while frantically testing the edge of the parasol, circling back and forth, and finally attracted Yu Zhu's attention.

Yu Zhu: ...

Why is there a sparring partner here?

Meihua was a chicken after all, and was relatively small in size. Yu Zhu was not used to having moving creatures on the raft, so she forgot about it for a moment until a wisp of chicken feather flew in front of her.

Only then did she see Meihua running panting, and even saw a trace of embarrassment on its face.

When Meihua noticed Yu Zhu looking at her, she immediately held her head high and chest out, showing an unyielding tenacity, which was... quite funny.

With Meihua's constant companionship, Yu Zhu practiced for nearly an hour until he saw the supplies appear and stopped.

Seeing that Yu Zhu had finally rested, Meihua's two thin legs were shaking. It walked towards the simple shed in a daze, leaving the place of right and wrong of the intermediate umbrella.

Simple Water Purifier No. 1: Hahaha, you are really brave.

Plum Blossom: Gah... (dying)

Simple Grill: Plum Blossom is awesome!

Plum Blossom: Giggling! (Proud)

It glanced at Yu Zhu, who was still as energetic as ever. She had already gone to retrieve supplies.

At this moment, Meihua had a new understanding of human power.

5:00 PM

Yu Zhu took 2 minutes and 50 seconds to salvage all the supplies, and obtained a total of: 15 wooden boards, 7 palm leaves, 6 plastics, 2 stones, 1 primary herb, 1 sunflower seed, and 200g of spicy strips.

There was a glint of excitement in her eyes. There were spicy strips!

Maybe Yu Zhu has fallen into depravity, she is even more excited about prescribing spicy strips than prescribing the recipe.

Snacks like spicy strips are not very healthy for children, as they are bad for their health and may affect their development.

But it’s different for adults, especially for someone like her who has a strong immunity, it tastes just right!

Fortunately, Yu Zhu was still somewhat rational. She couldn't eat snacks before meals, so she shifted her gaze to the sunflower seeds beside her with difficulty. Holding the seeds in her hand, she found the method of planting them: a medium wooden basin was needed.

The stems of sunflowers are relatively thick, and the roots are thin and long. They have a certain ability to resist heat and cold, so they cannot be planted in a small wooden pot.

The fruits that could be planted before were mostly mini potted types, and the fruits they produced were probably not very big, otherwise they would not be able to be planted in small wooden pots.

Soon, Yu Zhu bought a medium wooden basin in the trading area according to the planting method, spending 16 wooden boards and 8 fragments (equivalent to 480g of drinking water), and the remaining wooden boards were 3694 and fragments were 257.

I got a 30x60cm medium wooden basin, which can be used to plant two larger crops.

Yu Zhu placed the wooden basin under the simple shed and buried the sunflower seeds in it.

【Sunflower (planting period 3 days)】

[Current status: germinating (not watered)]

[Remaining time: 2 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes]

【Note: 100ml of water is needed every day】

While watering the sunflowers, Yu Zhu realized a problem.

First of all, the planting period of seeds is affected by the game, and the number of days to harvest is definitely different from reality. The same goes for watering. In reality, seeds do not need to be watered every day. In the game, it may be because the days are short, so it is normal to have daily watering tasks.

For seeds in small wooden pots, 50ml of water is needed every day, which is relatively understandable. But for seeds in medium wooden pots, even if the amount of water is doubled, 100ml is not a lot for them.

Of course, it is good for players to save some water. Yu Zhu is just guessing. Maybe this 100ml of water is just basic irrigation. It cannot be less but it can be more. Watering more or adding fertilizer may shorten the growth time of seeds?

Yu Zhu was not very sure either. It would be great if it could rain someday so that he could put it into practice.

For now, she is still very aware of her water storage capacity.

After finishing the sunflower planting, the temperature gradually dropped. Animals became more sensitive to weather changes. Before the first cold wind blew, Meihua moved back into the simple shed.

Its feathers were not thrown away, but piled together, just enough for it to lie on to keep warm. The whole chicken looked a little listless and pitiful.

Yu Zhu also came and sat under the simple shed. Seeing this, he spent 50g of fish meat in the trading area and bought it a furry blanket. Meihua immediately nestled comfortably on it, not even caring about the chicken feathers, showing her chicken nature to the fullest.

Plum Blossom: “Haha ...”

You are such a good guy!

Yu Zhu, who didn't know that he was a good guy, added 100ml of water to the empty bowl. He also spent 1 wooden board to buy another wooden bowl and put 100g of fish meat in it. This would be Meihua's rice bowl from now on.

What she didn't notice was that Meihua looked at her with more and more admiration, her eyes like small black beans were very cute. She probably never thought in her life that she would be able to live a life of eating fish every meal, and she suddenly had the motivation to lay eggs!

This is not a capitalist at all, it is clearly its adoptive parent!

Then, Little Meihua saw her adoptive parents start to boil water and cook the eggs she laid in the morning.

Yu Zhu, who had no idea what Meihua was thinking, had already decided what to eat in the evening.

She took out the rice noodles with fatty sauce, and since there were no quail eggs, she used chicken eggs instead. Perfect!
