Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 299: They Can Make Candied Fruits

Rubbing her hands together, Su Yijia eagerly looked at the rewards on the lottery wheel and pressed the button. Once she received all the items, she immediately dove into her space.

Clearing out the small house, she set up an entire set of laboratory extraction equipment against three walls. The wall with the window had the table she had previously moved out brought back in. The extraction device that required daily points was now casually placed under the table. She had better equipment now and wouldn’t use the old one anymore.

In the open space in front of the house, Su Yijia set up a state-of-the-art distillation unit. Next to a large barrel, one meter in diameter and two meters high, was a smaller barrel, one meter in diameter and one meter high. The two barrels were connected by precise electronic equipment. She picked up the manual and read it carefully.

The larger barrel was for the materials needing distillation. After 24 hours of operation, the distilled essence would drip into the smaller barrel. A pipe was attached to the smaller barrel, and pressing a switch would fill containers with the essence.

Additionally, she had a machine for extracting soybean oil, peanut oil, and rapeseed oil. Su Yijia placed this machine on the other side of the small house, then began examining the other items she received.

This time, besides five kilograms of crayfish, she also got a large piece of durian pizza, a bright yellow croaker, and a large red cloak that seemed as thin as a sun protection jacket. She placed the cloak next to the military coat from the last time and sighed, "Your system gives such random things. At least I can eat the food and use the money and yellow croaker, but what’s the point of giving me a military coat and such a thin cloak? I can’t even wear them outside."

She couldn’t just waste her hard-earned daily points.

"Host, you haven’t looked closely at these clothes. They’re valuable items!" 666 said, feeling wronged.

"Valuable items?" Su Yijia raised her eyebrows, scrutinizing the two pieces of clothing but couldn’t find anything special. However, trusting 666, she picked up the red cloak. Instantly, a description appeared in her mind:

{Fireproof Cloak, made of special materials, can shield the entire body from any fire and can also be used for insulation.}

Wow, that was really something useful. Su Yijia’s hands trembled with excitement. She then picked up the military green coat:

{Cold-Proof Coat, made of special materials, can block any low temperature, making the wearer feel as if they are in a 26-degree environment.}

Wow, the system finally did something right. Su Yijia couldn’t help but praise it inwardly and opened the lottery wheel again to see what else she could get. However, seeing that out of the eight slots, seven were food items like milk tea and cheese rolls, and one was "Better Luck Next Time," she couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.

"Is your system this lazy now? Spending two daily points just to get food?" Su Yijia asked, suppressing her anger.

coughed awkwardly, "The previous two times were newbie benefits. The draw will return to normal from now on."

"You call this normal?" Although Su Yijia loved food, spending hard-earned daily points on it seemed too extravagant.

"This is just a temporary phase. Keep drawing, and it will go back to normal," 666 tried to comfort the irate Su Yijia.

Fortunately, the rewards she had received earlier were so satisfying that she wasn’t truly angry. As long as she could occasionally get something so valuable after a few tries, she was already content.

After placing all the treasures back on her desk in the room, Su Yijia followed the instructions and poured all the soybeans into the oil press machine. Then, she collected all the ingredients for the whitening solution and planted new seeds.

She still needed to add water, but the spiritual spring water was obviously not suitable for this task. Stepping out of the space, she headed for the restroom to get tap water.

Just as she stepped out, she saw Qin Kaize standing by the bed, staring blankly at the disheveled sheets.

Su Yijia was startled by the hollow look in his eyes, feeling as if she had been harshly pulled, a deep discomfort washing over her.

"You..."

Before she could say anything, Qin Kaize suddenly pulled her into his arms. His body trembled slightly, and the fear emanating from him was palpable.

Not long ago, Qin Kaize had finished preparing lunch and returned to the room to call Su Yijia to eat. But when he entered, he was greeted by an empty room. The sight of it felt like his heart had been torn apart.

Cold wind seemed to seep into the wound, and the pain was sharp, suffocating, making it hard to breathe.

Though he knew Su Yijia had entered the space, where he had been there himself, he couldn’t follow her in and search for her when she disappeared.

The fear of losing her one day, of not being able to find her again, gripped him tightly.

Holding the woman in his arms, Qin Kaize seemed to embrace his entire world. His senses were overwhelmed, filled with an overwhelming darkness, from the visual to the auditory. The world around him seemed to lose its light as he focused solely on the woman in his arms, his fear and longing undeniable.

"I can only be in the space; where else could I go? Don’t scare yourself," Su Yijia comforted, patting his back.

"I know," Qin Kaize said, burying his head in her neck, nuzzling gently.

Understanding was one thing, but the fear of losing was another.

However, not wanting his little wife to worry about him, Qin Kaize made an effort to calm his emotions.

Su Yijia bit his ear lightly and her tone became cheerful again. "Come on, let’s go to the space. I’ve arranged some good things. You should take a look."

Qin Kaize’s eyes flickered for a moment. But seeing his little wife so happy in his arms, he didn’t dare show any resistance toward the space.

He didn’t like the space.

Even though there were many good things inside, the fact that it could make Su Yijia disappear from his world made Qin Kaize dislike it from the bottom of his heart.

"Alright, let’s go take a look together." He suppressed his emotions and spoke gently.

The next moment, upon seeing the two large items that had appeared in the garden, even though he had mentally prepared himself, Qin Kaize still paused for a moment.

"This is the oil press. It can press peanuts, soybeans, and rapeseed. This one is the distiller. With this, we won’t need to build a whole row of large stoves anymore. But we’ll still need to build a kitchen, for days when it’s not convenient to prepare meat and vegetables outside. We can prepare them here and take them out ready-made."

Su Yijia excitedly explained to Qin Kaize how she planned to reorganize the space.

In these times, eating meat was a rare luxury. So whenever anyone in the neighborhood cooked meat dishes, the smell would travel far, making it easy for neighbors or passersby to smell. It was fine if they secretly ate it after cooking, but the smell while cooking was always the strongest.

Once they built the kitchen in the space, there would be no more worries about others gossiping behind their backs, claiming that they were eating too well every day.

"And, let’s build some ovens on both sides of the kitchen. We have so much fruit. Besides making wine, we can also make dried fruit. We can either eat it ourselves or sell it; either way, it’s a great product."

Su Yijia was racking her brain, thinking of all the ways to make money.

Although she and Qin Kaize had accumulated quite a few old items, these were treasures. She would never think about using them unless they were truly in a desperate situation.
