End of the First Week in the Bamboo Garden

Each water pot could hold up to 50 gallons of water, and the buckets provided to the servants had a capacity of just one gallon each. Since every servant was required to fill two water pots, they needed to haul a total of 100 gallons of water each week.

Yuan carried two buckets to the river at a time, meaning it took 50 trips to completely fill both pots. With each trip taking roughly 15 minutes, he spent a little over half a day completing his assigned quota.

After dinner, Yuan returned home to cultivate.

The following day, Yuan met up with Lan Yingying again.

"How was it?" he asked her.

"I am making progress, albeit extremely slowly. At this rate, it'll probably take me around three months to completely memorize the technique," she sighed.

"As long as you're making progress."
