You stink, brush your teeth

Sang Jiu felt that the big cat had a huge appetite and wanted to eat everything. She really couldn't afford to feed it without some financial resources. She patted the big cat's head and said, "I tell you, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Being rich is the bottom line."

　　"In the future, if you have anything good or valuable, remember to keep it around you. Maybe one day you can exchange it for money, or maybe you can use it to redeem all kinds of delicious food."

　　The big cat, who just wanted to eat and drink, wagged his tail, with a hint of anticipation in his heart. What could he eat?

　　"I don't know yet, but I have a feeling that I will definitely get rich in the future." Sang Jiu rubbed the big cat's furry head, "Fu Fu, always remember your name, you must become rich in the future, and don't forget your wealth, cat."

　　The suddenly rich creature meowed, and its name was hastily decided upon.

　　It was very happy to have a name. It kept shaking its big mop-like tail, and from time to time it stared at the oil residue in the pot and called out a few times, reminding Sang Jiu to quickly take it out and eat it.

　　"Don't be impatient." Sang Jiu took out the fried oil residue and put it in a bowl. He also poured the oil into a wooden basin to cool it down for later use. "Let it cool down before eating. Be careful not to burn your tongue."

　　Bao Fu wanted to stick out his tongue directly, but then he thought about what happened last night when he was eating stewed potatoes with meat. He retracted his huge body and sat down obediently, but he blew air into the oil residue from time to time and made an anxious snoring sound in his throat.

　　Sang Jiu ignored the greedy cat and started to fry the rabbit with the remaining oil in the pot. After a few minutes of frying, when the meat aroma came out, she added water and potatoes to stew it.

　　After stewing for half an hour, the man and the cat ate lunch while watching over the pot. After filling their stomachs, Sang Jiu took out the crispy bones of the mutant rabbit from the ashes and crushed them directly into powder.

　　Then add wood ash and mix with water, stir evenly, then filter out the stronger alkaline solution through cloth, and after it has precipitated, add it into the cooled rabbit oil and stir it. After it becomes a sticky paste, put it into small wooden boxes respectively, and it can be used after it is air-dried and set.

　　System: [Congratulations on learning the ancient soap craftsmanship. Please choose the reward you want: A. A bamboo forest B. Cat toys C. Indoor entertainment facilities. ]

　　Sang Jiu became interested: "Indoor entertainment facilities?"

　　[TV, books, and other things to pass the time. ]

　　"Is there a TV signal here?"

　　[No, only movies you bring with you can be watched. ]

　　"So what does it mean?" Sang Jiu's cabin was not big and could not accommodate the books for the time being. After thinking it over again and again, she temporarily gave up this option and went directly to a bamboo forest.

　　After choosing the bamboo forest, a lush green bamboo forest appeared behind the wooden house. There were several varieties of bamboo in it, which added up to about two acres. They sparsely surrounded half of the wooden house. The branches and leaves were dense, and the green shade covered the house. When the breeze blew through the bamboo forest, the branches and leaves rustled, and in an instant there was a feeling of swaying bamboo shadows in the silence.

　　Sang Jiu was immediately very satisfied with the bamboo forest. With the shade of the trees, she could build a small shed, and it was also a good place to drink tea and take a rest in her spare time.

　　Bao Fu, who was lazily resting in front of the wooden house, saw a bamboo forest suddenly appear behind the house. He stood up with a start and followed Sang Jiu into the bamboo forest cautiously and curiously.

　　As soon as it entered the bamboo forest, Baofu felt very cool and comfortable. It then turned around and barked at Sang Jiu a few times to express its like.

　　Sang Jiu guessed that it must like it. Although the temperature inside the protective cover was not high, it would still be a little hot when the sun shone on its body during the day. It would be cool to stay under the shade of the tree.

　　Bao Fu happily wandered through the bamboo forest. After a walk, he lay down under a clump of nanmu bamboo and soon began to snore.

　　Sang Jiu stood nearby and noticed that Bao Fu's hair was very fluffy and messy, and needed to be combed to make it smoother, but the prerequisite was a big comb.

　　She turned her head and looked at the bamboo forest next to her: "System, bamboo can be used to make combs, right?"

　　[Yes, you can learn relevant bamboo weaving skills in the system to make bamboo combs. ]

　　Sang Jiu opened the bamboo weaving skills and took a look, and found that this skill was as detailed as carpentry skills. According to the weaving method, it is divided into pick and press weaving, round surface weaving, twisted wire weaving, and decorative weaving, and each one is further subdivided.

　　If classified by different regions, it can be divided into Dongyang bamboo weaving, Dazu bamboo weaving, porcelain bamboo weaving, Shengzhou bamboo weaving, Fujian bamboo weaving and so on.

　　Sang Jiu couldn't learn the detailed classification, so she could only learn the basic skills according to the weaving methods. Bamboo weaving skills are like carpentry skills. Once you master one, you can master all skills. It doesn't matter if the weaving is ugly, the most important thing is to be able to weave it and get rewards.

　　She went back to the wooden house, got a knife, and cut a few bamboos suitable for weaving. She processed the bamboo and separated the bamboo threads according to the master's instructions. With good skills, she could separate the bamboo threads into strands as thick as one or two hairs, and weave them carefully to be able to hold water without leaking.

　　Sang Jiu has low demands on himself, as long as he can be useful.

　　After processing the bamboo silk, she began to weave. After a busy afternoon, she used thicker bamboo strips to weave a very simple basket. She also used softer and thinner bamboo silk to weave a colander for draining things, and also made a bamboo pot cover and bamboo basket.

　　[Congratulations on learning the simplest bamboo weaving technique. Please choose the reward you want: A. A set of high-end tea tables and reclining chairs B. A bamboo pavilion C. A bag of flower seeds. ]

　　Sang Jiu raised her eyebrows after hearing this: "How do you know I want a bamboo pavilion? Are you eavesdropping on my thoughts?"

　　[I guessed it because you were very happy after seeing the bamboo forest.]

　　Sang Jiu bit her back teeth lightly and nodded gently, "I choose C."

The system was obviously stunned for a moment: [Are you sure you want to choose C? ]

　　"Yes, choose C." Sang Jiu smiled and added: "Let me tell you with facts, don't just guess what a woman is thinking."

　　In fact, she wanted both, but the seeds were more precious in comparison, and she could find a way to build the other two items herself.

　　[...]

　　The system was speechless, and after a long while it said: [You can continue to improve your bamboo weaving skills, and you will receive more rewards after learning intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving skills such as porcelain-based bamboo weaving.]

　　"We'll talk about it when we have time." Sang Jiu took the colander, bamboo pot lid, basket, etc. back to the kitchen, and then made a large bamboo comb with the remaining bamboo strips. She also weaved a hollow bamboo ball that was slightly larger than a basketball.

　　After it was done, the bamboo ball was thrown at the head of Baofu, who was still sleeping soundly on the ground. Baofu opened his eyes instantly, turned over and sat up, his pupils were dark, his eyes were sharp, and he stared at the front with caution and ferocity, like a king descending.

　　Sang Jiu sensed the hunting aura emanating from it, "What? Are you still angry?"

　　When Bao Fu heard the voice, he immediately suppressed his breath and looked at Sang Jiu obediently, as if the person just now was not himself at all.

　　The face changes so quickly.

　　Sang Jiu made a soft sound and kicked the bamboo ball to Bao Fu, "Take it and play with it."

　　When Baofu heard that it was a game, he immediately used his head to hit the bamboo ball. The bamboo ball rolled towards Sang Jiu, and she kicked it back. The woman and the cat played like this until night fell.

　　Sang Jiu cooked some rabbit meat soup in the evening. She was really tired of eating rabbit meat three times a day, so she only ate half a bowl and gave the rest to Bao Fu. Bao Fu had a big appetite and this small pot was not enough to fill her up. She just thought of it as a taste, so after eating, she planned to go out hunting again.

　　She saw the intention of getting rich quickly, so she reminded him: "Don't just catch rabbits, try to catch other animals."

　　Baofu nodded and ran out excitedly!

　　Sang Jiu looked at the silver-white, agile figure in the darkness, with flowing fur and looking majestic, like a queen going to war. She hoped that the cat could catch other animals, as she was really tired of eating rabbits.

　　She smiled and looked away. She went back to her room, washed up quickly, and went to bed, having a good night's sleep.

　　The next day she was awakened by the sound of banging. Sang Jiu walked out of the door angrily. A bamboo ball came towards her. She quickly did a backflip and kicked the bamboo ball away.

　　Baofu rolled up his tail, wrapped the bamboo ball and ran over. As soon as he got close to Sang Jiu, he smelled a bloody smell. She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her nose: "Why are you stinking again?"

　　Bao Fu pushed the bamboo ball aside and dragged a bloody rat in front of her like a treasure, "Meow!"

　　"…Dead rat." Sang Jiu's voice trembled, and he backed away with a frown, "Bao Fu, I told you to catch some other animals, but not this thing!"

　　This is a mutant rat, nearly three meters long, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks. There are many rotten, pus-filled and maggoty parts on its body. It is very disgusting: "It is ugly and smelly, take it out and throw it away quickly."

　　Baofu pushed the mouse forward again, indicating that it could be eaten.

　　"I won't eat it. You can eat it yourself if you want. It's too ugly and smelly." Rats live in a poor environment and carry bacteria and viruses. Sang Jiu would never touch them: "Catch a clean animal and send it back to me later."

　　Bao Fu understood that Sang Jiu liked things that were clean and good looking.

　　It dragged the dead mouse out of the protective shield and ate it outside before returning to Sang Jiu. It wanted to rub against her affectionately and eat the food she cooked.

　　"You stink so much, brush your teeth." Sang Jiu asked Baofu to clean his mouth with disgust. After she cleaned it up, she gave it some pieces of dried meat. The woman and the cat sat under the eaves and ate.

　　The light inside the protective cover was bright, and it felt a little hot on her body. Sang Jiu planned to build a bamboo shed by herself, put two reclining chairs and a coffee table inside the shed, and plant a circle of flowers outside the shed. When she had free time, she could drink tea and look at the flowers. It was a way to have fun in misery.

　　Just do it.

　　After eating the dried meat, Sang Jiu took a knife and went to the bamboo forest. She cut two nanmu bamboos to use as pillars, and cut a few yellow bamboos into three-finger-thick bamboo strips and dozens of one-centimeter bamboo strips.

　　"Baofu, dig a hole in these circles." Sang Jiu drew two foundation circles six meters outside the wooden house and two more in the middle. After Baofu dug four one-meter-deep holes, she put bamboo in them and asked Baofu to fill the soil back.

　　Then a few bamboo beams were built from the eaves of the wooden house and directly connected to the four bamboo pillars outside. Thick bamboo strips were placed horizontally and tied with bamboo strips to form a grid. The bamboo leaves cut in the past two days were then neatly covered on top. The six-meter-long and three-meter-wide bamboo shed instantly became extremely cool.

　　Baofu immediately fell in love with the pergola. He lay down in it and closed his eyes comfortably.

　　Sang Jiu chose such a big house considering herr physique, and it seemed just right now. Then she cut some more bamboos and spent a day paving the ground with bamboos. She then made a circle of bamboo fences to enclose the open space in front of the wooden house, making it a simple courtyard. She also specially made a two-meter-wide bamboo door. After all, only with a door would this place feel like a proper home.

　　The next day, Sang Jiu made two bamboo chairs out of bamboo. In the evening, he took out flower seeds and scattered them on the open space on one side of the bamboo shed. There were three kinds of flowers in total: climbing roses, bougainvillea, and cosmos, which are all relatively common and tenacious flowers.

　　Sang Jiu leaned back in her chair, imagining the scene of a garden full of flowers, and suddenly she felt a little bit like Tao Yuanming, leisurely strolling under the Nanshan Mountains, in the relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
