Chapter 10

Ji Jiu finished cooking to gain strength and walked back to the pile of bamboo. She tied the bamboo into a pile enough for her to drag. Dividing the wood into 4 piles, she dragged two piles at a time. By the time the drag was finished, it was already late. Ji Jiu then wiped himself off and hurriedly went to bed.

 The next morning, Ji Jiu cooked her usual food and ate it to relieve her hunger. Today, she felt pain in her body, probably from using too much strength yesterday. She decided to take a break and do light work at home instead.

 Ji Jiu inspects the bamboo log left behind last night. Then he drilled 7 pieces of bamboo and placed them all the way to the stream near the house. Then he drove a pole to place the bamboo pipe. Ji Jiu finished arranging and sucked water from the bamboo that was lowered into the stream. When the water rose, the pipe was placed in a bamboo trough. Tie it tightly with the rope brought from home. Ji Jiu looked again at the depth of the bamboo shaft that was lowered into the stream. See if you need to adjust it again or not. When you see that there is no problem if the water subsides, you follow the bamboo track to check for leaks all the way to the house.

 Ji Jiu placed the water pipe to the kitchen by making a simple cover at the end of the bamboo pipe. Ji Jiu drilled a hole and inserted a piece of wood to open and close the water, making it convenient to use. Seeing that today's big work was finished, she sat down and ate chestnuts until she was full, then rested for a bit.

 When he was tired, Ji Jiu took out a basket filled with Sap Suea plants and leaves and sorted them out. Then put the seedlings aside. Ji Jiu found a tray to dry the leaves, but she only had one tray and it wouldn't be enough. So he could only dry it out first. She remembered a wooden box so she dragged the box and put the remaining leaves in it and took it to dry in front of the house.

 After drying the herbs, she took the wooden hoe she had made and walked to the back of the house near the stream. Then she dug a plot to plant herbs according to the number of seedlings that had been brought. Ji Jiu finished planting the herbs and it was late in the evening. She hurriedly collected the tiger leaves and brought them into the house first. Then she cooked something simple to eat. She checked that the leaves were not yet dry. They probably had to dry them for another two days before they could be sold. She hurriedly celebrated the new water pipe by bathing for the first time since being in this body. I changed into dry clothes and quickly went to bed comfortably.

 The next morning, Ji Jiu still ate the same fried chestnuts and bamboo shoots, with the addition of some picked garlic leaves. Since she was not good at cooking in her previous life, she only ate what she could. After eating, she took the herbs to dry. Then the bamboo shoots are peeled and boiled in boiling water to detoxify.

 After finishing everything, it was almost noon. Ji Jiu, who had left the chestnuts burned, put them in a basket and prepared a water bottle to go up the mountain to find food another day. Today, she would try walking in the opposite direction to the bamboo forest, where the original owner had never been. In case you will find something good.

 Ji Jiu walked along the path he had planned until he came across a dry tree that had previously been a dense forest. But now because of the drought, there are many dead trees. What a pity. Ji Jiu went to inspect the tree trunks in case there were any mushrooms. She remembered that someone had talked about reishi mushrooms that liked to grow on dead trees in her previous life. Come on, in case you were lucky you'd get rich. She wanted to eat food with some seasonings. Since recovering, her tongue had not tasted anything.

 Ji Jiu walked deeper until he found a large tree stump. She went to take a closer look and actually found a mushroom, but she didn't know if it was the legendary reishi mushroom or not. Jee Jee Jee Jee What other people know, why don't I know it? Anyway, she found some mushrooms, so she picked them up first. She slowly asked the drug store to see if it was the right one. There were nearly 20 mushrooms, each one almost twice the size of her little palm. She was afraid that she would damage the mushrooms, so she used a knife to slowly scrape out the bark along with the mushrooms.

 Ji Jiu picked them up and placed them in a basket with care. Before laying the next layer, she added leaves to each layer until all the flowers had been picked. Her basket was almost full. Ji Jiu saw that it was getting cold, so she took a water bottle and a machete and carried the basket home.

 Arriving at home, Ji Jiu hurriedly gathered herbs to take into the house first. She prepared bamboo shoots stir-fried with garlic to eat with burnt chestnuts to relieve boredom. Who told her to fry bamboo shoots and chestnuts for two days in a row? Her food revolved around bamboo shoots and chestnuts.

 After eating, Ji Jiu took a shower and washed her hair. Today, she came home early so she had time to wash her hair, which had been dry and damaged for a long time. She changed her clothes and dried her hair, then hurriedly went to bed. It's better not to go up the mountain tomorrow. She will wash the clothes and dry the herbs. Water the sage tree behind the house again. It's good that she planted it near a stream. The Sap Suea tree doesn't need a lot of water. So you don't need to take care of it much.
