Of course, Yunxi was the one who listened to gossip. She wouldn't talk about people behind their backs, but she could be considered a listener. It went in one ear and out the other, and no one took it to heart.
Another point is that neither the original little girl nor the little girl transformed from the peach tree spirit were the ones with firsthand information. They couldn't get the gossip going, so they simply stopped talking.
Ironically, people like her who listen intently to gossip are quite popular, making others want to share their own stories when they're gossiping.
I didn't encounter any jujubes or hawthorns on this trip up the mountain, but I did come across some groundcherries. Adhering to the principle of not letting go of anything I saw, I picked a few and put them into my spatial storage.
I also came across a plum tree, but the tree was already bare; the plum season was over.
The rest of the time was spent collecting firewood. When it was almost time, the basket was filled with pig feed and then the person headed down the mountain.
After handing in the task, I chatted with Grandma Huang and Grandma Cheng for a bit, then headed straight home.
The first thing Yunxi did when she got home was to go to the backyard to check on her four hens, wanting to see which one was slacking off.
Is it because the hen is too old? If so, replace it.
When I went to collect the eggs today, one grayish-brown hen hadn't laid any eggs, while the others had.
Yunxi released the ones that had laid eggs directly, as keeping them locked up all the time was not good and would affect their egg-laying.
The hen that didn't lay eggs will remain in the enclosure. We picked some extra vegetable leaves and put water in it. It will be fine to keep it in the enclosure for another day tomorrow.
He took the three eggs and put them directly into his spatial storage. He returned to the front kitchen and made himself a bowl of noodles. The noodles he had for breakfast were so delicious that he felt like he could eat them once more.
I rolled out extra noodles this time, so I can just put them in the pot to cook when it's time to eat.
After the noodles were cooked, I poured a lot of water back into the pot, intending to cook all the wild eggs in the space.
As for the eggs laid by the hen, they were temporarily stored in a small winnowing basket and used for cooking.
After finishing the noodles, the eggs were almost cooked. 100 eggs were quite a lot. They were put in a wooden basin the size of a bathtub, soaked in well water for a while, and then collected one by one in a winnowing basket and stored in the space.
As the sun grew stronger, the mushrooms drying in the yard were already half-dry; three days of drying would be more than enough.
Upon arriving in the corridor, I saw that all the strings of mushrooms hanging there had dried up.
I didn't plan to untangle the wires; I just put them into my storage space one by one. Although some people might keep those wires for future use if they're thrifty.
However, Yunxi was worried that if she used this kind of thread to sew clothes, what if the thread came undone?
Thinking about it, there's no need to be so stingy. Needles and thread aren't that expensive these days. I bought some when I went to town last time, and it'll last me a long time.
After collecting the mushrooms, Yunxi thought that she had just finished lunch and didn't have much time, so she would rest for a while before tidying up the vegetables.
He moved a stool out of the house and then took out his winnowing basket containing needles and thread.
If she were just sitting there doing nothing, it would seem too idle, so she decided to practice her skills.
The clothes were finished yesterday, but they look pretty ugly because of the color, but it has absolutely nothing to do with my handiwork.
I can finish making the pants today; pants are much simpler than clothes.
Once the pieces are cut, you can simply sew them open.
It took about an hour and a half. You can just sew it according to the instructions. It's just that the waist area is really ugly. I also had to sew a belt for myself, otherwise the pants would feel like they were going to fall down.
After checking and finding no problems, I put away the needles and thread, then took two pieces of clothing to the well to wash them, rinse them with water, and hang them up to dry.
I feel like I've digested a bit of the food I ate for lunch, so I can take this opportunity to clean up the leftovers.
They took out two large wooden basins and filled them with all the green beans from the space.
I picked them several times and kept the rest, and gradually the amount I accumulated reached this much.
After washing 1/3 of the green beans, tie them into bundles, each bundle about the size of two fingers, and then hang them directly on the clothesline.
They filled the entire clothesline with clothes, and even took over the area where clothes were meant to be dried.
Fortunately, the clothes I washed yesterday were already dry today, leaving only the new set of clothes I just washed. I put it in a corner, and it fits even if I squeeze it in a little.
Yunxi planned to dry the remaining green beans slightly, then cut them into small pieces and pickle them directly into salted green beans.
Another thing is that I plan to soak them in water, which will also make more flavorful dishes.
After washing them clean, I took out three long benches and put the green beans directly on them. Once they were almost dry, I put them away for later use.
Since the green beans can't be used yet, I took out all the red chili peppers from the space and washed them.
I plan to wash them for now and take them out to dry when I find a place to do so. I'll dry half of them as chili peppers and cut the other half into chili sauce.
Before she knew it, Yunxi had washed all the vegetables in the space, and she felt that she was really capable.
After washing the vegetables, Yunxi took out the book about herbs and sat down in the corridor to start reading.
Although she had picked some medicinal herbs in the space over the past two days, the quantity was not much at all. Yunxi planned to devour the entire herbal medicine book so that there would be no herbs she didn't recognize.
At her current speed of memorizing almost everything after just one reading, Yunxi felt that memorizing this collection of herbs wouldn't take too long at all.
After taking out the herbal medicine book, he began to read it attentively.
Yunxi originally planned to go and see if the fish in the river were easy to catch in the afternoon.
But now I think the knowledge in books is more important. The fish are always in the river, and no one has the ability to catch them. They can go whenever they want, so there's no rush.
Most of the herbs listed in the herbal medicine book can be found on the mountain. If you can recognize them from the abstract pictures, you're quite impressive.
However, some of them are not found on the mountain, so they must be found in other places.
