After returning to the house, Yi Qingqing's heart was pounding, and she entered the skill teaching mode of incense making.

Master Bai was still sitting at the long table in the yard, leaning sideways, his hand supporting his forehead, his eyes closed, and green smoke wafting from the incense burner at the foot of the table.

Yi Qingqing sniffed and found it was Master Bai’s homemade locust incense.

Looking up, I 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 Sophora japonica, which has the effect of calming the mind.

She also sat down beside the incense table she used for study, closing her eyes and smelling the incense like Master Bai.

This is her latest discovered method of meditation.

Although she has only learned the simplest mosquito repellent incense now, it does not stop her from rubbing the incense.

This is different from eating for free in the cooking skills teaching mode, where you just taste the flavor but don't feel full. It can satisfy your craving but has no practical significance.

But the locust tree fragrance here by Master Bai can really calm your mind after smelling it for a while. It targets the mind and this state can be continued after you go out.

Sometimes, smelling the fragrance of locust trees here and then going to study in other skill learning modes can help you concentrate a lot, which is really a learning tool.

Master Bai seemed to know her little thoughts, and now every time she came in, he ignored her.

Before, I would always look up and say “You’re here” and then start teaching.

Just let her do whatever she wants now. It will only start when she calls her.

The same is true today.

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, and she started working efficiently.

The salted duck eggs pickled in the jar reached their expiration date yesterday. I was too busy to clean them up, so I have 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?"

I saw that he had the same oversized bucket as mine, and then looked at his still upright body and the bucket full of water, which seemed to be very comfortable. I couldn't help but say, "Did you get a new bucket too? It's more convenient to get water from a big bucket, right? You look in good shape!"

Which of the other male educated youths in the educated youth camp could carry this big bucket so steadily? Every time she passed by carrying water, the awe-inspiring looks she received spoke volumes.

"Yeah," Yun Guyuan curled the corners of his mouth.

Section 62

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.

He fetched two full buckets of water, carried them to the backyard, poured them into a large wooden basin, then brought over the two jars of pickled duck eggs and opened them.

Put the mud-covered duck eggs into the basin one by one, scrub the mud off them and place them in a basket padded with hay next to them.

After washing about ten, she stopped temporarily and took the eggs to the stove.

The stove was still burning, and a piece of bacon with fat and lean ingredients was cooking in the pot.

It has been cooked for a while and is not fully cooked, but it has become a little softer and is easy to cut.

Yi Qingqing scooped up the bacon, cut it into thin slices, and filled a large plate.

Then he washed several meals' worth of rice at once, put the freshly washed salted duck eggs and the rice into the pot and cooked over high heat.

Taking advantage of this time, she went to the backyard to wash the remaining duck eggs.

The washed duck eggs were directly put into the portable space.

The jars containing salted duck eggs were also washed and the dirty water was poured into a large wooden basin.

The water was quite salty and not convenient to pour directly onto the ground, so she put the basin and the water into her personal space. When she went to the mountains to chop wood or hunt later, she could just find a ditch to pour the water.

After all this busy work, the water in the pot has begun to boil. I opened the lid a little to prevent the rice soup from splashing out.

She took this opportunity to clean the house again.

About ten minutes later, she opened the lid of the pot and scooped out the excess rice soup, leaving only a shallow layer.

The duck eggs were cooked at this time, so I fished them out, kept one for tasting tonight, and put the rest in my personal space.

Then use a spatula to stir the half-cooked rice so that it can be heated evenly and become softer.

Finally, put the half-cooked bacon that was cut earlier on the rice, cover it with a lid, and continue to simmer it with the remaining fire in the stove.

This process lasted about half an hour, and then he went to the backyard to clean up the vegetable patch.

Because of the time she spent in the countryside, many of the vegetables in her fields actually missed the best planting time and were planted a little later than other families in the village.

She was mentally prepared that seasonal issues would affect production.

But since she watered the water with the harvest charm, everything is no longer a problem.

Her seedlings came from behind and not only grew slightly faster, but each one of them had strong roots. The trellises she had built have been fully occupied by the seedlings, and judging from the flower buds, the fruit-bearing rate will probably be quite high in the future.

That's right, the seedlings are growing well, and the weeds are no exception. If you pull them out slowly, the nutrients will be absorbed by them. Yi Qingqing can only pull them out more diligently.

After destroying the new weeds that had recently grown in the vegetable garden, the bacon rice in the pot was almost cooked.

After washing her hands, she opened the lid of the pot. The aroma of meat and rice made her stomach protest.

She still put the bacon on the plate first, of course, the first piece had to satisfy her tongue and stomach first.

"Hmm~" She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

Most of the oil in the bacon has soaked into the rice underneath, so the meat not only does not taste greasy, but also becomes more flavorful the more you chew it.

After taking out all the bacon, use a spatula to stir the rice underneath evenly, and mix the yellowish-brown rice grains on the upper layer that are soaked with more bacon oil and the white rice grains on the lower layer together. This way, the rice tastes like bacon, but it's not too greasy.

Several meals were served in wooden bowls according to portion and pressed firmly.

Finally, she mashed the browned rice crust at the bottom of the pot into slices and placed them on the rice in the wooden bowl. She then put a few slices of bacon on top, and a simple and delicious bowl of bacon and rice crust stewed rice was ready.

I filled more than ten bowls in a row and placed them all on the shelf in my portable space, leaving only one bowl for today's dinner.
