Xu Han remained in bed for another five days. Despite her anxiety, she was too weak and Lu Chuan ordered her to rest in her room for another five days.
During these five days, Xu Han wasn't idle either. She tested the space's functions. First, she poured a glass of water and left it in the space overnight. The next day, she found the water was still hot! Just like when she first put it in.
The strawberry king berries she ate yesterday were gone. Xu Han quickly opened the refrigerator and found that the strawberries had returned to normal. Xu Han was overjoyed.
Unfortunately, I ate a small cookie yesterday, and it didn't regenerate. Could it be because the cookie wasn't refrigerated? Is it only food from the refrigerator that can regenerate?
Xu Han discovered something else that made her happy. The night before last, she squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush to brush her teeth. In her haste, she squeezed it from the middle of the tube, causing the middle of the tube to flatten out. She thought she would brush her teeth first and come back to fix it later. However, after brushing her teeth, she saw Lu Chuan next to her and quickly put the toothbrush back in her mind. She didn't have time to flatten the toothpaste tube (her obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn't help it).
I didn't find a chance to access my social media profile in the evening, so I didn't do anything!
The next day, when she entered the space, she found that the toothpaste had returned to its original state. Xu Han was also very curious whether she had remembered it wrong.
To verify this, Xu Han squeezed toothpaste from the middle and also cut a hole in the middle of the jarred face mask.
I grabbed another bag of konjac juice and ate it! I also took an orange from the fridge and ate it in my space! Waaah, I dare not take too much, in case I can't refresh the page, these fruits are my emotional support.
Xu Han is the kind of person who can go without potato chips and other snacks, but she absolutely cannot go without fruit!!!
Xu Han wanted to try and see if it was as she thought.
On the third day, Xu Han entered the space again and immediately opened the refrigerator. Great! Orange was back! But the packaging bag of the konjac snack she ate yesterday was still lying quietly in the trash can.
Xu Han didn't have time to be sad; she turned and went to the bathroom. She checked the toothpaste and face cream. They were back to normal.
Does that mean "only food in the refrigerator can be refreshed, but food in the room cannot? While household items can be refreshed?"
What about the others? The seasonings in the kitchen don't count as food, and can medicine be refreshed? After all, medical care is still relatively scarce in this era, and a common cold can be fatal.
Continuing the experiment, I took out one anti-inflammatory pill from the medicine and took it out! I can't just take any medicine! Medicine is still very precious; every little bit saved counts.
Then I poured the chicken bouillon from the spice box in the kitchen and wrapped it in paper. I also poured a little vinegar into a cup. Vinegar was available in this era, so I wasn't worried about it. I poured it in without worry.
I took another unopened pack of tissues and a half-used pack of tissues and left the packaging in the space.
Xu Han wanted to test whether it was necessary to leave some of the original packaging behind, or whether simply taking it out would refresh the packaging.
Turning around, I saw that there was still half a glass of water in the table, so I drank it. Water is an important resource, and if I could refresh it, I would have quite a lot here!
Xu Han usually buys drinks online, always by the case. The refrigerator can't hold them all, so she has to keep them indoors. She also buys a case of multi-bottle mineral water and a large bottle of water for cooking, which could be life-saving during a drought!
Although it's not a lot, if we could refresh it, it would be enough for daily consumption.
I also grabbed a sock.
After completing these tasks, I'll leave the space and wait for tomorrow's results.
On the fourth day, Xu Han had just woken up and couldn't wait to enter her spatial dimension. Yesterday's experiments were all with everyday necessities, items that directly impacted her future quality of life and safety. How could she not be anxious?
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, I entered the space and checked the water level first. Great, it's back to normal. It seems the water level can be refreshed, so I don't have to worry about dying of thirst during a drought.
I checked the medication again, and it's back to normal. My life is safe now.
Looking at the tissues again, the ones that were taken out and still had their packaging were not put back in, while the ones that still had their packaging were put back in.
It seems that to refresh the page, you have to leave the packaging or fruit peels behind. If you remove everything, it won't refresh.
Going into the kitchen to check if the vinegar and chicken bouillon had been washed was also a very satisfying thing. After all, having gotten used to modern food that's heavy on oil and salt, eating food from this world feels a bit strange.
Because Xu Han enjoys cooking, her home is well-stocked with seasonings; she has almost everything she needs daily. She buys hot pot base in 500-gram packets of three or four at a time. She also has several packets of salt! A true hoarder like her wouldn't allow herself to wait until she's completely out of things before buying more!
With these seasonings, the taste of the dishes will be greatly improved. While not necessarily delicacies, they will certainly be delicious and palatable.
Back in the room... hmm... the socks aren't back in place!!! Oh well! One should be content with what one has. It's okay if I don't have them; at least I don't have to worry about daily necessities and things that will keep me alive.
Through these few days of experimentation, Xu Han finally figured out the pattern of the space.
During Xu Han's recovery period, Lu Chuan was also busy! It was February, and the weather was still quite cold! The animals were still hibernating. Every day, Lu Chuan checked the traps, retrieved any prey, and repaired any broken traps.
The two of them have had very little communication these days. At first, Xu Han was weak and slept all day.
Every morning, Lu Chuan would prepare breakfast, collect the game from the traps, practice archery, and then prepare his hunting tools.
Xu Han became anxious as soon as she entered the space and saw the words in the envelope. She thought about how there would be plenty of wild vegetables in spring, as well as mushrooms and bamboo shoots. She planned to dry and store them.
They asked Lu Chuan if he knew how to weave bamboo mats or baskets to prepare for the subsequent work.
Fortunately, Lu Chuan knew some knitting skills. Although his knitting wasn't as good as what people bought, it was still usable, just a bit ugly.
Lu Chuan then brought back a large pile of bamboo strips from outside, which he had cut on his way to collect the traps that morning. After splitting them in the yard, he took them inside to weave.
Although it's already the beginning of spring, the weather is still quite cold. It's not cold to knit indoors.
At first, Lu Chuan was reluctant to bring it inside, afraid of making a mess, but Xu Han disagreed! The room had a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) and a brazier, making it much warmer than outside. It's still easy to catch a cold in this weather.
One of them was weaving a winnowing basket, and the other was sewing Lu Chuan's clothes. A man living alone is really rough as can be. His clothes were torn in all shapes and sizes by tree branches. Lu Chuan haphazardly sewed up the larger ones, and simply didn't sew up the smaller ones. It was an eyesore.
In modern times, Xu Han is a craft enthusiast! She has several cross-stitch patterns, but not all of them are finished! After all, who doesn't like something new? So her work is still passable.
The two chatted casually. Most of the time, Xu Han asked questions, and Lu Chuan answered. Lu Chuan wasn't a particularly talkative person.
