[Congratulations, your farming skill has been upgraded to level 4]

[Farming specialization +1]

[You’ve learned to make canning jars]

"Quack, quack, quack"

"Cluck, cluck, cluck"

"Crackle, crackle"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp"

"Sob, sob, sob"

"Moo, moo, moo"

The arrival of the little duck added a unique flair to the animal orchestra.

Of course, unique is all you can really call it.

It’s quite awful sounding.

Han Qiwu sprang up from the bed like a carp, checking the diary entries while washing up.

The normal price for mayonnaise is 700 Gold Coin, and after subtracting the 100 Gold Coin for the glass jar, it comes to 600 Gold Coin.

Man, they took 50 Gold Coin off per spoonful.

Might as well keep it all for myself to eat.

Let’s continue reading.

Feeling somewhat satisfied, Han Qiwu remarked, "Finally, my farming skill has leveled up, just one more level and I can choose a profession."

Since he hasn’t ever gotten flour, he couldn’t make the vegetable pancake that temporarily boosts farming skills, so he still doesn’t know what professions are available in the farming route.

Really looking forward to it.

As for the improvements from leveling up the farming skill, Han Qiwu decided to check them out first.

After walking out of the house, he went to the canola field, crouched down, grabbed a handful of soil, and examined it.

[Current soil condition: Silver Star quality]

[Lacking elements: Nitrogen and Phosphorus]

[Water deficiency: Slight deficiency]

[No fallowing needed]

"Lacking nitrogen and phosphorus." Han Qiwu walked over to the fertilizer barrel, grabbed two bags of fertilizer, and spread it over the field.

"It’s a pity, if only I could grow soybeans, they can fix nitrogen, saving fertilizer and increasing income." Han Qiwu sighed, wondering when he could grow soybeans.

Probably won’t happen until summer.

Overall, this skill is excellent; it helps him understand soil conditions more quickly and accurately, allowing for timely addition of fertilizer and water.

Let’s take a look at the blueprint reward!

[Canning Jar]

[Materials: [Wood]×50, [Stone]×40, [Charcoal]×8]

[Effect: It can transform vegetables into pickles and fruits into jam or canned goods]

[Note: The jar contains both deliciousness and money]

"Canning jar???" Han Qiwu perked up.

This is a really good item; based on its effects, it can turn vegetables into pickles and fruits into jam.

Isn’t that just a pickle jar?

Everyone in Sichuan-Chongqing has a pickle jar at home.

Radishes, green beans, peppers, cabbage—

Just throw them all in to pickle.

If Han Qiwu had some old fermented brine, he would want to pickle some himself.

Moreover, fruit cans are also delicious.

As a child, he loved canned yellow peaches, digging in eagerly during festivals, biting into the plump semi-circular yellow peaches with joy.

The happiness just skyrocketed.

"Looking at the crafting materials for this thing, the most troublesome part is the charcoal." Han Qiwu frowned, the wood and stone needed aren’t much, but these eight pieces of charcoal are a bit annoying.

Luckily, there are more than thirty pieces of coal and over forty pieces of charcoal in the storage box, enough for a short period.

But if he plans to manufacture canning jars on a large scale for profit, just relying on picking up coal in the first level of the mine won’t work.

If that’s the case....

He’ll have to go to the Thunder Secret Realm to collect coal.

No choice, can’t make it myself, have to rely on picking up charcoal along the way to sustain life.

With materials at home, let’s make two first and try them out.

The demand for wood at home is growing.

Fortunately, the Gui Wood Axe has been upgraded, otherwise it wouldn’t be bearable.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with Little Prince’s proactive work attitude.

Following the blueprint, Han Qiwu spent half an hour manually crafting two canning jars, naming them Bottle No.1 and Pot No.1.

He plans to put fruits in Bottle No.1 and vegetables in Pot No.1.

See how it works.

Unfortunately, the peach and apricot trees at home haven’t borne fruit yet, otherwise he could try making peach jam.

[Bottle No.1]

[Creator: Han Qiwu]

[Effect: Transforms the vegetables or fruits placed inside]

[Transformation time: 72 hours]

[Note: Store in a cool place]

The properties of Pot No.1 are the same, both need to be placed in a cool area.

Han Qiwu looked at the yard and decided to place Bottle No.1 and Pot No.1 in the side room.

Of course, it’s only a temporary arrangement.

The best cool place would certainly be the cellar, where temperature and humidity can be controlled.

As for getting a cellar....

It’ll depend on Little Prince’s skills.

After placing the two canning jars, Han Qiwu took out a raspberry and placed it in Bottle No.1.

After placing it inside, a raspberry’s phantom and a prompt appeared above Bottle No.1.

[Raspberry: 1/10]

"Right, one raspberry is too small to make jam." Han Qiwu chuckled; he was prepared and put the remaining nine raspberries in as well.

[Raspberry jam in progress, estimated completion in 72 hours]

"Just takes too long; I’ll see how it tastes and sells then." Han Qiwu fetched some wild peppers from the storage compartment and placed them in Pot No.1.

"If only I had radishes, that would be the soul of a pickle jar." Following the phantom on Pot No.1, Han Qiwu added ten wild peppers.

No radishes, pickled peppers will do.

[Pickled peppers in progress, estimated completion in 72 hours]

Done.

Now I just have to wait.

Han Qiwu washed his hands and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Two stoves, one boiling noodles, the other sautéing meat sauce.

"Let’s have egg and mushroom noodles today." Han Qiwu thought for a moment, found an oyster mushroom and a chicken leg mushroom, and began cutting them.

Twenty minutes later, the fragrant egg and mushroom noodles were ready!

After mixing, the noodles were coated with the aroma of eggs and the fresh scent of mushrooms, offering distinct layers and textures with each bite; the eggs were tender, the mushrooms chewy, an unbeatable combination!

Truly delicious.

After eating his fill, he planned to go to the cultivation cave to harvest some mushrooms.

"If ordinary mushrooms are so tasty, wouldn’t ice mushrooms be even better? I wonder if they’d have a crisp, icy texture?" Han Qiwu pondered as he entered the cultivation cave.

When he saw the two bare cultivation rock protrusions, he realized.

Oops, after getting the ice mushroom mother strain, he was focused on growing mushrooms and forgot to cultivate ice mushrooms.

Lucky I remembered, a bit of a loss.

Han Qiwu went out to fetch two ice mushrooms and placed them gently on Rock Protuberance No.9 and No.10.

[Rock Protuberance No.9 has started cultivation]

[Current cultivation species: Ice Mushroom]

[Estimated cultivation time: 5 days]

[Estimated cultivation yield: 3]

After placing them, he took a glance at the overall attributes of the cultivation cave.

[Current cultivation cave can grow crops: Mushrooms]

[Cave status: Cultivation started]

[Types of cultivated mushrooms: Wild Oyster Mushroom, Wild Chicken Leg Mushroom, Giant Mushroom, Ice Mushroom]

[Average daily cultivation count: 1.9] freewēbnoveℓ.com

After adding ice mushrooms, the daily cultivation count increased by 0.45, more than the boost from giant mushrooms, leading to increased yields for oyster and chicken leg mushrooms.

"Seems like ice mushrooms are even more precious than giant mushrooms." Han Qiwu nodded and walked out of the cultivation cave.

Really looking forward to those ice mushrooms growing in the icy snowy terrain.

They must be incredibly fragrant and delicious!
