I became an old man in my leisure time

On the third day of December, the coldest day.

The heavy snow fell from the sky again, without stopping.

Early in the morning, Juqin came over and told Gu Ke a good news: Miss Qin had just broken through last night and was promoted to the sixth level.

Gu Ke was really happy. Miss Qin was indeed extremely talented and could actually break through again before the fifth day of December.

After that, Miss Qin was radiant, and her face seemed to be lit up with four big words "Come and praise me".

Gu Ke did not disappoint her, and he gave her a lot of flattering words, which made Miss Qin almost run away.

There was no way, his praise was too straightforward and too much. Although Miss Qin was extremely comfortable after being photographed, she felt itchy on her toes and wanted to dig out two sets of houses on the ground.

Fortunately, Gu Ke was happy and soon talked about going out to explore the valley in a few days.

Miss Qin heard: "Aren't we leaving today?"

Gu Ke: "You have just been promoted, so you should take more time to stabilize and adapt to the increased strength, so that you can be more confident when encountering strange things."

After a pause, he continued: "It is not just this time to explore the valley, but you have to go through every place thoroughly, so there is no need to rush."

Miss Qin calmed down after hearing this.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded in agreement with his decision.

Gu Ke didn't mean to stay any longer, so he asked her to keep the Bingxin state as much as possible, then got up and said goodbye, and took Chunxia and the two girls to the hut.

Xiaoman is not yet ready to learn how to make pasta, so let Chunxia and the two girls work as temporary workers to make two meals of pasta for the family.

By the way, you can also learn how to cultivate yeast, and maybe you can remember some knowledge points from your previous life.

Miss Qin's originally happy mood was not so beautiful: Is it better to talk to Chunxia and the two girls than to have fun with me?

So, she continued to take a bath as he instructed.

As soon as the Bingxin state appeared, the original depression quickly disappeared.

After thinking for a moment with an absolutely calm mind, she knew that she was thinking too much.

Her role is not to knead dough, but to be more precise, to be powerful against strange creatures.

With this, Gu Ke's safety when he goes out to investigate is guaranteed, so he naturally cares most about her strength.

Chun Xia and the other two girls know how to knead dough, so they have to do it.

Just as Gu Ke said, there are only more than ten people in the valley, and everyone has to do their best and find a position to make life better and better.

He himself also farms, mows grass, polishes stones, and makes tools every day.

In the state of Bing Xin, Miss Qin once again conducted a self-reflection (attack) and self-reflection (omission), solved some small distractions, and immediately devoted herself to focused practice.

Gu Ke devoted himself to the basics of pasta making - learning how to knead and leaven dough.

He soon discovered that the basics are not complicated, but the quality of the pasta depends on the skill level.

This is no different from cooking. The ingredients and methods are similar, but the details can lead to a huge difference in the finished product from delicious to ordinary to filling.

Fortunately, he didn't think of becoming a master chef right away.

This thing also requires talent and qualifications, and he may not have them, so there is no need to rush.

Compared to becoming a master chef himself, it is more reliable to let Xiaoman try, at least she has an indescribable obsession with eating.

Although she is still at the level of "eating enough", she should be able to become "eating well" in a few months.

Xiaoman, who has the motivation to eat, will definitely be able to burst out all her potential.

In the next few days, Gu Ke still did what he was best at, making stone utensils.

Let Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju run errands and move back dozens of stones on the road down the mountain.

In the past few days, he made five large vats, three of which have the basic attribute of constant temperature, and he moved one back to use as a water tank.

The other two were left to Miss Qin and the others, and he didn't care whether they were used for water storage or bathing.

The basic attribute of the other two large vats is purification +1, and the effect is that after filling with water, it can purify the water quality for half a cup of tea, so that it can reach the standard of direct drinking water.

When clean water is placed in it, the purification effect will always exist and will not deteriorate or corrupt.

This is undoubtedly the attribute that a water tank should have. One is kept at home and one at the workshop.

With these two types of water tanks, both the home and the workshop are much more convenient.

Purification can ensure the water quality, which is clearer and more refreshing than the stream water used directly.

Constant temperature can reserve a large tank of hot water in advance, which can be used for drinking or for miscellaneous purposes.

It is minus ten degrees Celsius on Yulong Peak outside the protection of the system, and there is snow everywhere.

For the maids who go out from time to time, it is a great blessing to have hot water ready at any time.

With sufficient food and firewood, there is no cold and misery in this winter, only warmth and peace of mind.

…

On the fifth day of December, the agreed day finally arrived.

Gu Ke and Bai Suqing got up early in the morning to eat, and told Xiaoman to arrange work and rest time freely today.

At dawn, the two went to the workshop together and met with Miss Qin and the four girls of Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju who also got up early.

Miss Qin's eyes fell on Bai Suqing almost immediately.

In fact, her attention was following Bai Suqing even though they were separated by a wall.

They were both at the sixth level, and they didn't hide it deliberately, so it was not difficult to detect the strong blood fluctuations.

Seeing her expression, Gu Ke smiled and explained: "Sister Bai also just broke through the sixth level not long ago. I didn't tell you right away because I wanted to keep a little surprise."

Miss Qin was not that stupid. After a little thought, she guessed several possibilities.

Beware of her? This is unlikely.

When she broke through the sixth level, Gu Ke asked her to consolidate it. Bai Suqing showed up openly today, which proved that Gu Ke didn't mean that.

It's more likely that he was just waiting for her to break through so as not to irritate her.

Well, Miss Qin is still aware of her temper.

It's a pity that she underestimated herself. Her expression was still a little stiff, and she just nodded and said, "That's good. If I meet the black ghost, I can resist it."

Gu Ke: ? ? ?

Bai Suqing: ? ? ?

It's better not to meet such a dangerous thing as the black ghost outside.

Miss Qin was resolute and decisive: "Everyone is here, and the tools are all brought. Let's go."

Gu Ke and Bai Suqing had no objection, and went out with the five women and went down the mountain.

The reason why Miss Qin was so calm was not complicated.

One of the main reasons was that she had already guessed about Bai Suqing's previous injury.

The biggest problem they face is that it is difficult to recover from the damage of the chakra blood orifice, and there are few precious medicines for such injuries.

For example, before Bai Suqing's chakra blood orifice was destroyed, she was at the second round and fifth turn, which was actually just to regain the lost strength and make a small step forward.

But Miss Qin went from nothing to the sixth turn step by step.

She is only sixteen years old, while Bai Suqing is already twenty-eight years old.

The sixteen-year-old and the twenty-eight-year-old's six turns, which means a huge gap in talent and aptitude.
