I became an old man in my leisure time

Gu Ke asked with a smile: "Really? Sister Bai, if you don't mind, then I have no problem. Reading"

"Then use it." Bai Suqing nodded: "I can help tomorrow."

Gu Ke had no objection.

As the output of the fairy field increased, bamboo, thatch, wheat straw and other non-food materials were basically piled up on the stone platform of the warehouse.

Bai Suqing's bamboo house seemed to be submerged in a pile of debris. Sooner or later, she would have to move to another place. Now "trading the old for the new" is of course better.

But she had to decide when to move her bamboo house, and he couldn't urge her.

A moment later, in the enlarged hut, four people each had a cushion, sitting around the small stove.

The stone pot on the small stove emitted the aroma of purple leaf tea. Xiaoman talked about the "interesting things" that happened during martial arts practice these days, and from time to time pulled Xiaoping'er to testify for her.

Xiaoping'er could only nod, indicating that Sister Xiaoman was right.

Gu Ke teased Xiao Man from time to time, and coaxed her when she got angry.

The little girl got angry quickly and calmed down quickly, and her chattering never stopped.

Bai Suqing smiled and listened to the two little kids talking quietly, occasionally picking up the stone pot and adding a cup of tea to the thirsty ones.

The fire in the house flickered, the tea fragrance was faint, and the laughter continued. Outside the house, the empty mountain was lonely, and the snow was falling, endless.

People came to drink tea as wine on a cold night, and the bamboo stove was boiling.

It was a picture of chatting at night in the cold winter.

…

The next day, Miss Qin came to the study in the morning and was startled by the "fat" little hut. She became more depressed: You didn't call me again, and this thing could become so big overnight, it's really unreasonable.

As a result, before she could show her "angry" look in front of her, she was greeted by Gu Ke who had been waiting for her: "Sister Qin, do you want to change the bedroom?"

Miss Qin:? ? ? What do you mean? Could it be... No, absolutely not! I won't use a man's bed.

Well, okay, even the man I used to be with won't do that.

Fortunately, Gu Ke didn't have the ability to read minds, otherwise he would have turned hostile and left on the spot: You still want to use my bed for free, it's just a daydream.

He was just a little strange about the young lady whose face suddenly turned red.

But he had to rush to work later, and asking was just to confirm.

If she was willing to move to the new bedroom, she would have to pack up and prepare to move.

Finally, when Miss Qin heard that he was talking about the new bedroom, her expression was quite subtle, and she looked helpless, just like a naughty child caught by his parents.

Gu Ke didn't notice this, and when he was sure that she was willing, he asked them to pack up in the afternoon and move into the new bedroom before nightfall.

Miss Qin was embarrassed, but Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju were not.

No matter how unreliable Gu Ke was, he would not let Miss Qin live in alone, and they would definitely accompany her.

Living in the workshop is the house he built, and living in the bedroom is also his house, just in a different place, just remember this favor.

When they realized that it was a separate new bedroom, their eyes lit up immediately.

The soul-soothing property of the bedroom is the most difficult benefit for them to enjoy.

The four of them took turns to stay in there for half an hour during the day.

If their own bedroom also had this effect, they could enjoy the enhanced mental resistance when sleeping, and naturally they would not have to take time out during the day to get Gu Ke's things.

Gu Ke and his four friends got up early, and it was still dark, so Gu Bai and his two friends went to the fields to cut enough bamboo.

Xiao Man's beloved bluestone knife was requisitioned by Bai Suqing, and then he and Xiao Ping'er were left in the house to pack up their things and move them to Gu Ke's bedroom for temporary storage.

After the new bedroom is "transformed", these belongings will be moved in.

When Miss Qin and her friends came, Gu Ke and his four friends had dismantled their houses, moved their things away, and cut bamboo, and were preparing to transport them to the workshop.

After hearing about the new bedroom, Mei Shu simply asked everyone to help move the materials, and regarded it as morning practice.

There is strength in numbers, and the women who were all beginners were even stronger. They moved all the bamboos that had just been cut in less than two quarters of an hour.

They wanted to help with the follow-up work, but were rejected by Gu Ke.

His work these days proved that the 2+1 (two children + him) combination was enough, and adding more people would not increase the construction efficiency much.

If everyone else tied it up, the bamboo house could only reduce the consumption of 5 units of soul source.

It still depends on his Tianluo hand to tie the bamboo rafts and thatch, and do a good job in the details to steadily reduce 6 units of soul source.

Lian Bai Suqing didn't stay in the workshop for long before he drove her to the study.

According to him, she couldn't increase her work efficiency here, so it was better for her to go to the study and indulge in inspiration.

This way, it feels like time passes quickly compared to staying in the workshop to watch the bamboo house take shape.

This statement is indeed well-founded, but Bai Suqing was also speechless about someone's straightforwardness: Although I am useless here, you don't have to say it.

Not long after, Miss Qin also slipped over.

Not long after, Miss Qin was driven to the study by him again.

Straight men's words can always expose other people's stupid behavior, making it difficult for people to stay for long.

Of course, Gu Ke did it on purpose.

This is to build a bedroom for them, not to let them sleep in his bed, what is there to be afraid of for a straight man.

This is also the case. Two standard bamboo houses were completed before lunch.

Gu Ke adjusted the 3D terrain map for a long time before choosing to upgrade the bedroom.

Two balls of golden light appeared, wrapped in the bamboo house, one in the south and one in the north, and landed behind Gu Ke's bedroom.

Two balls of gray light flickered on the ground, condensing the stone platform foundation for the bamboo house.

After a moment, the light disappeared, and two new bedrooms half the size of Gu Ke's bedroom appeared on the north and south sides.

Gu Ke's bedroom was on the east side, just surrounding the bathroom in the middle, leaving only the west side leading to the long corridor pergola.

The golden light in the sky startled Qin Bai's two daughters and Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju in the study, and also fell into the eyes of Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong who were practicing martial arts on the long corridor pergola.

Without notifying, they all rushed over.

Bai Suqing and Miss Qin arrived almost at the same time. Miss Qin looked at the two bedrooms, one in the south and one in the north, separated by more than ten feet with the bathroom as the center, and hesitated for a moment: Which one should I choose?

But Bai Suqing did not stop, and floated directly to the bedroom in the south.

Gu Ke asked her where she wanted to live last night, and she chose the south.

Because the south is a hillside rock wall, there is no possibility of others passing by and disturbing her peace.

Sister Bai has never been a warm person, and she is only a little bit special to Gu Ke Xiaoman, and Xiao Ping'er is not very close to her.

Miss Qin subconsciously looked at Gu Ke on the stone platform in the east bedroom, and saw him nod and say, "Sister Qin, the one in the north is yours."

She nodded and looked away, and her excitement inexplicably faded a little.

Fortunately, the girl's heart was not gloomy, and she was soon infected by Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju's smiles, and went into the north bedroom together, forgetting the little disappointment in her heart.

The speed of the girls moving was much faster than Gu Ke imagined.

Bai Suqing's things were all in his bedroom, and the two sides were only separated by twenty feet.

And there were only her and the two children living there, and the three of them came in alone, and now they didn't have too many things, basically daily necessities made by Gu Ke and Xiaoman.

The largest "furniture" was only Bai Suqing's bluestone bathtub.

Miss Qin brought a lot of things when she came in, and there were many people.

Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju looked at the bedroom, and then went to the warehouse to find the bamboo sedan chair.

The four of them carried the sedan chair back and forth twice, and they had almost moved everything in the workshop.

Miss Qin took a look and confirmed that Gu Ke was already in the study to comprehend martial arts. Then she flew back to the workshop and lifted the Bingxin bathtub weighing more than a thousand pounds by herself and brought it over.

After that, everything was the same as before. Mei, Lan, Zhu and Chrysanthemum took turns to tidy up the "new home", and the two taught Chun, Xia, Qiu and the two children to practice martial arts, and went to the study to meditate.

Bai Suqing looked at her new bedroom, which was actually 50% similar to the previous bamboo house.

The upper and lower layers of thatched curtains covered by the inner wall, and the bamboo floor made of six pieces of bamboo on the ground were the same as before.

The bamboo house that she thought would disappear completely was actually "reborn" into a new bedroom in this way. She was a little distracted for a while.

It took a long time for her to wake up from the memories of the past few months, and she didn't want to clean up the house anymore.

She casually placed the things in the positions that she felt were appropriate, and the packed bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates were not opened.

Anyway, the two little girls would naturally open and arrange them when they were used.

Well, maybe, sister Bai's rapport with someone is not entirely without reason.

Then, she continued to practice.

She could sense that the little girl surnamed Qin was already approaching the peak of the sixth turn.

Although she knew that she was destined to be surpassed by Miss Qin in the eighth and ninth turns in the future, at least this time, Bai Suqing did not want to fall behind.

This was impossible before.

Her original talent was only good, and she improved a little inexplicably after recovering from her old injury a few days ago, just stepping into the threshold of excellence.

But compared with Miss Qin's outstanding talent, it is still not the same.

In short, Bai Suqing's current talent can only be cultivated to the seventh turn of the martial sect, and the eighth turn can only be said to be a try, but there is no confidence.

Miss Qin's talent has always been the eighth turn of the great martial sect, and the only thing she is not sure of is the ninth turn of the martial saint.

After all, the Lieyang Sutra is the top three supreme martial arts in the Great Wu Dynasty, and the successive masters of the Lieyang Sect are all eighth turn martial masters, and only the founder of the sect is the ninth turn martial saint.

There has never been a precedent of a woman practicing the Lieyang Sutra and becoming a martial master in the Lieyang Sect.

To be more precise, no woman has become famous for practicing the Lieyang Sutra.

But... Miss Qin has indeed reached the sixth level, so why can't she be promoted to a martial master?

Compared to hearsay, Bai Suqing believes more in what she sees with her own eyes.

Gu Ke didn't care about the women's move, but went to find a straw, chopped it up and threw it into a small stone pot, boiled it over high heat into a small pot of reddish viscous syrup.

Then he found a ball of dough that Chun and Xia had fermented and kept fresh from the warehouse, cut out a small ball and put it back.

Then he divided the dough into four egg-sized doughs and kneaded them into round shapes.

Then he found a large constant temperature water tank that he had made too much during the experiment, and a pottery basin that he got from a small village at the foot of the mountain, and placed them on the stone platform of the warehouse.

He took some dry thatch and the broken bamboo pieces used to make bamboo houses, threw them into the pottery basin and ignited them.

After the bamboo pieces burned for a while, he put out most of the open flames, leaving the red charcoal to burn slowly, and then put the pottery basin into the bottom of the big vat.

In less than half a cup of tea, he reached in and tried it. He still felt a little hot under the protection of the Black Evil Palm.

With the toughness of the Black Evil Palm, the temperature in the big vat was quite hot at this moment.

Gu Ke arranged the round dough in a row on a thin stone slab about a foot long, and then tied the two ends of the stone slab with iron wire vines, and the other end of the iron wire vine was tied to a bamboo pole more than four feet long.

The stone slab was lowered one foot into the big vat, and the long bamboo pole was stuck in the slightly concave part of the edge of the big vat on both sides - this was what he had just cut with two knives.

The iron wire vine was tightened, and the long stone slab was hung less than two feet above the charcoal fire, and then it was time to wait.

In less than half a cup of tea, the four doughs expanded a circle, and the surface was slightly browned.

Gu Ke didn't know if the time was enough, but this was an experiment, so he grabbed the bamboo pole with his hand and lifted the stone slab out.

With his other hand, he grabbed the thin bamboo brush in the small stone pot next to him, smeared a thin layer of syrup on the surface of the four doughs, and then hung them back in the big vat to continue baking.

Less than a cup of tea later, he saw that the four doughs expanded again and became round breads about the size of goose eggs, with a rich caramel color on the surface, so he took them out.

Without waiting for it to cool down, he grabbed a round bread, bit off one-third of it in one bite, chewed it carefully, and made a vague sound in his mouth: "Hmm, it's still a little sour, it should be that the dough is not fully fermented."

"There are too many crumbs, and it's so dry, not soft at all, but there are no eggs and milk, and the soybean oil has not been made yet, this is inevitable."

After swallowing the bread in his mouth, Gu Ke took the charcoal fire pottery basin from the big vat, and then used a small bamboo dustpan to put three and a half caramel round breads, and went to find the taster.

When he saw two children practicing martial arts in the long corridor pavilion from a distance, he called out and waved his hand, and the two children came running over.

He took them to the southern bedroom belonging to Bai Suqing, and then he took out two round breads from the small dustpan, one small and one small: "How about trying it."

Xiaoman took a decisive bite, and most of the bread disappeared in her mouth.

Then there was the chewing sound of miamiamia, and vague praises: "So sweet, so fragrant, so delicious."

Gu Ke couldn't help rolling his eyes: So the most important thing is that it is sweet enough to make you feel delicious, right? Sour, astringent, dry, rough, you didn't taste a little bit?

For this sweet addict, he gave up treatment and turned to look at Xiao Ping'er.

Compared with Xiaoman's noise, Xiao Ping'er was much quieter. She only bit off a quarter of it in one bite and chewed it carefully.

Seeing her satisfied and comfortable face, and she was reluctant to take a second bite, it was obvious that she also thought it was delicious.

He could only ask out loud: "Do you feel it's too coarse, sour, and dry?"

Xiao Ping'er stopped talking, looked at him blankly, and then looked at the half-eaten caramel bread in her hand: "This... really doesn't have it."

Gu Ke: ... Could it be that what my tongue tasted just now was an illusion?

"Okay, after eating, continue to practice martial arts." He decided to change to a normal taster like himself.

As a result, Xiao Man looked eagerly at the bread in the small dustpan that he had bitten a third of: "Gu Ke, I'm done."

"Oh, then go practice martial arts." Gu Ke answered casually, and found that her expression was depressed, but her eyes were still staring at the small dustpan in his hand.

He could only look up at the sky speechlessly, and stuffed the bitten bread in the small dustpan into her hand: "I bit a bite, eat it if you want, and go practice martial arts after eating."
