Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

After weaving the basket, Gu Yan continued to make the bamboo barrel.

The bamboo nails were accurately embedded in the neatly arranged small holes, and then Gu Yan fitted another bamboo board tightly against it, repeating this cycle over and over again. Each time the fit seemed so skillful and natural.

Finally, when the last bamboo board is perfectly in place, the barrel is completed.

The next step is to make the bottom of the barrel.

The bottom of the barrel is also made of multiple bamboo boards cleverly spliced ​​together with bamboo nails, but before that, the excess bamboo boards need to be accurately cut off according to the actual size of the barrel.

Gu Qingzhi keenly noticed that when assembling the barrel just now, Gu Yan had already reserved holes on the bamboo boards.

Sure enough, at this moment he was drilling holes one by one on the sides of the barrel bottom and inserting bamboo nails.

What is amazing is that in the end, no one knows what technique he used, but he was able to successfully stuff the bamboo nails into the bottom of the barrel. Moreover, as each bamboo nail was firmly embedded in the small holes in the barrel body, there was no gap at all between the bottom plate of the barrel and the barrel body, as if it fit perfectly.

Gu Qingzhi, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but be amazed.

Finally, Gu Yan picked up a few thin bamboo strips again and wrapped them tightly around the barrel.

Seeing Gu Qingzhi's slightly puzzled look, he explained softly: "Doing this will not only make the bucket body more firmly bonded together to prevent water leakage, but it will also effectively prevent cracks in the bucket."

After the handle of the bucket was finally completed, a brand new bucket appeared in front of Gu Qingzhi like a fine work of art.

Gu Yan smiled and said to her: "Qingqing, give it a try and see if it works well for you."

He had specially polished the handle to make it very smooth, so I think it wouldn't hurt Qingqing's delicate skin.

In addition, although the bamboo barrel is not as durable as the wooden barrel, it actually has another advantage: it is relatively light, making it perfect for my sister to play with.

Gu Qingzhi circled the bucket several times, and finally picked it up. Compared with the heavy wooden bucket, this one was much lighter. She was ecstatic, "Brother, I like it so much."

I didn't expect that a bamboo bucket brother could make it so exquisitely. His hands must be extraordinary.

My brother is really amazing.

In her previous life, she had no idea that he was so capable. After she became a ghost and followed him, he had become an important official beside the emperor and she no longer needed to do these things.

When she came back again, she met a completely different brother who was more down-to-earth.

Gu Qingzhi's big eyes rolled around.

My brother has been busy for the whole afternoon and must be very tired. He will have to carry some fruits down the mountain soon.

Moreover, she noticed that her brother's lips were peeling.

Gu Qingzhi quickly took out the water bag, opened it and handed it to Gu Yan, asking him to drink some water. "Brother, drink some water first."

Gu Yan was about to say no when Gu Qingzhi had already handed the water bag to his mouth and looked at him stubbornly.

He smiled helplessly, took the water bag and took a few gulps.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the clear and sweet spring water in his sister's water bag always left him with an endless aftertaste, making him want to take a few more sips.

Seeing Gu Yan drink up the water in one gulp, Gu Qingzhi was filled with joy.

She blinked her big, lively eyes and looked up and asked, "Brother, what should we do next?"

Gu Yan looked up at the sky and secretly estimated the time.

It takes about an hour to return from here, and at this moment the sun is setting and night is approaching. Walking on the mountain road at night is rugged and dangerous, so you must rush back home before sunset.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yan made a quick decision: "You want to drink fish soup, don't you? Let's go to the lake and catch some fish to take home! When we pass by the wild grape trellis later, we can pick up a load of wild grapes and take the rest back. I'll pick the rest tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Gu Qingzhi nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

After all, we will pass by there on the way down the mountain.

Gu Yan swiftly placed the food box and water bag into the bamboo basket behind him, then picked up the newly made bamboo bucket, held his sister's tender little hand tightly, and walked briskly towards the direction of the big lake.

Perhaps it was because he had just drunk the sweet spring water, he felt full of strength at this moment, as if carrying a 200-pound object down the mountain in one breath was no problem at all.

It’s true that eating enough and eating well makes a difference. Even the strength becomes so abundant.

They soon arrived at the lake.

Gu Yan first checked the water inlet and outlet of the small puddle. After everything was normal, he carried the bamboo bucket to the lake to clean it first.

Then he looked up at Gu Qingzhi and asked for her opinion: "Qingqing, what kind of fish soup do you like?"

Gu Qingzhi took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The big lake in front of him was so magical!

There are so many varieties of fish in the small puddle that it is dazzling.

Of course, in her previous life, Gu Qingzhi had always been a delicate woman hidden in her boudoir, so she naturally knew very little about these fish.

It was not until later when I turned into a ghost and wandered around that I gained a lot of knowledge.

She rolled her big, black, bright eyes and said playfully, "How about brother help me choose one?"

Gu Yan smiled and nodded, then carefully observed the fish in the lake.

After a moment, he picked out a special fish from among the many.

Gu Yan explained while putting the selected yellow croaker into the bamboo bucket, "If you want to make soup, yellow croaker is the most suitable. This fish has tender meat, delicious taste, and rich nutrition. The most important thing is that it has few fish bones, which makes it convenient and safe to eat."

In fact, what he didn't say was that wild yellow bone fish is extremely rare in the market, so it is expensive, but its nutritional value is indeed quite high and its taste is excellent.

I didn’t expect that such a precious delicacy was hidden in this huge lake, and my smart sister attracted a group of them.

There are a dozen yellow croakers here. We can catch them and raise them so that my sister can enjoy them slowly.

Gu Yan selected carefully and finally put seven or eight yellow croakers into the bamboo bucket, two of which were relatively large.

He poured some more lake water into it, then picked up the bamboo bucket and left the lake with Gu Qingzhi.

Gu Qingzhi was a little absent-minded. Could it be?

After returning from the lake with the fish, Gu Qingzhi was worried about the handkerchief and grass leaves in the trap, and she cried out "ouch" when she was about to reach the bushes.

Gu Yan nervously tilted his head, "Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"Brother, my handkerchief is missing. I wonder if it fell here just now." She glanced at her brother and said in annoyance.

"Then let's look around." Gu Yan had no doubts.

This was exactly what she wanted. "Then, brother, let's split up and look for it. It will be faster this way."
