“Give it to me!”

Su Qing stretched out his hand to Zhong Yong for wood. It was tough for Zhong Yong to work here.

“I can do it.”

Zhong Yong was very stubborn. No matter what, he had to finish the work that his master had instructed him to do.

Su Qing looked at him in amusement. How could he prop up a piece of wood if he couldn’t stand up?

Zhong Yong got up and knelt on the ground. He used one hand to prop up the wood on the top of the cave. He used his fist to smash the wood.

Smart!

Su Qing looked at Zhong Yong deeply. Through this period, she felt that Zhong Yong was a kind and filial boy. When they reached Jingshi Dao, she would treat Zhong Yong and make him look normal.

However, that would make him less innocent and cuter.

Su Qing dared to show off her skills after the tree trunk was propped up. She picked up Zhong Yong’s hammer and smashed it at the coal wall. Unlike stone, coal was not as hard. With the hammer weighing more than 100 pounds and her strength, a large piece of coal was smashed down. A golden light flashed in front of Su Qing’s eyes. Mining had reached level two.

The system’s congratulatory voice rang in her ears again, telling her that mining had reached level 2 and her war god ability had reached level 39.

Su Qing was addicted to leveling up and reluctant to go into the coal mine. Her head, face, and clothes were covered in coal cinders. Once her basket was full, she asked Zhong Yong to drag it out of the cave and send it back. She continued to smash.

Her mining skill had increased by half after the heavy beating. Ji Shuisheng heard that Su Qing was digging coal in the coal cave, so he came to help. Zhong Yong sent the coal back.

With Ji Shuisheng’s help, her speed and Su Qing’s skill points also increased rapidly. After sending out five baskets of coal, her mining skill rose to level three, and her war god ability rose to level 40.

Su Qing was overjoyed that her war god ability had leveled up by five levels in just one day.

“It’s enough. Let’s go back!”

Ji Shuisheng’s entire body was covered in cinders. He had to kneel in the cave and work with his head lowered. It was tough.

Seeing that Su Qing’s face had turned black, he felt his heart ache and returned with his mouth agape.

“Pick more and use them on the road.”

However, Su Qing was addicted to digging. Coal was known as black gold. By the time they reached Jingshi Dao, it would be cold. They would not freeze to death if they loaded three carts of coal.

She also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to see Yelu Chun’s mother and pull a coal cart to try out the market. Not only coal but also rheumatism ointment. She was prepared to start these two businesses that were quick to make money and high profits but were currently in short supply and difficult to do.

They would need endless financial support if they wanted to help the water production industry. The first thing they had to do now was to accumulate funds.

Exiting the coal cave, they saw that their bath had been for nothing. They had both turned black.

When they returned to their resting place, the people of Peach Blossom Cove were stunned. They did not recognize that these two people, who were so black that only the whites of their eyes and teeth were white, were Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng.

“Sister Su Qing, hurry into the shower shed and shower. I’ll get you some hot water.”

Ji Xiaoying ran over. She had just finished washing up, and her hair was still dripping. Seeing that Sister Su Qing was all black, she quickly got water to bathe.

Ji Shuisheng used thick tree trunks, vines, and branches to build two shower booths. The men and women were separated from each other and were very far away.

The environment they were bathing in was too harsh. Each person had a bucket of water that could not be wasted. Only a sizeable wooden basin was placed on the stone stool, and a bucket of hot water was placed beside it.

However, Su Qing had made it too dirty. After washing with a bucket of water, the bottom of the wooden basin was filled with black cinders.

Ji Xiaoying and Jiang Yuyan went to fetch two more rounds of water before Su Qing came out after washing up. Ji Xiaoying had already prepared a set of clean clothes for her. Su Qing changed and walked out of the shower shed, taking the dirty clothes to the stream to wash them.

“Sister Su Qing, we’ll wash your clothes for you.”

Jiang Yuyan and Li Shuang’er ran over to snatch Su Qing’s dirty clothes and ran away without giving her a chance to refuse.

Su Qing saw that the coal baskets were very eye-catching. If others saw them, it would cause trouble.

“Daniu, get some grass and leaves to cover these baskets,” Su Qing instructed Da Niu.

Qiu Yongkang sighed at Su Qing’s meticulous mind. They were now very close to the main road, and if someone saw them digging so much coal, they would be curious. If word got out, it would attract the government’s attention, so it was better to be careful.

Qiu Yongkang brought the young men from Peach Blossom Cove to get grass and leaves. They covered the baskets with coal. From the outside, it looked like a basket of hay. Those who did not know better would think they would feed the horses on the road.

After Su Qing finished making the arrangements, she went over to check on the cooking.

A few aunties put the potatoes into the pot. Everyone was hungry, so that they could eat the potatoes cooked in plain water.

Zhong Yong had already peeled off the tiger skin that Su Qing had killed. There was no damage or minced meat at all. It was placed on a big rock to dry.

The tiger meat was also cut into pieces. The aunties washed the tiger meat clean and waited for Su Qing to return to cook.

There were too many people, and they couldn’t do anything fancy, so Su Qing decided to make all the tiger meat into braised meat. The fragrant tiger meat couldn’t be bought even with money.

She ordered Li Daniu to store the tiger bones in her basket. She needed them and would find a chance to send them to Xiao Qi.

Su Qing beat the tiger back. She had the right to ask for anything. There was no point in asking. No one asked her why she wanted the tiger bones. If Su Qing didn’t want to say it, no one would be able to get it.

When Su Qing was cooking, Ji Shuisheng had already washed up and left the bathroom. His long hair was messy, and his clothes were wet and stuck to his body. His tight muscles were exposed. He strode back with his back to the sun. He was full of wildness, and his eyes were sharp, determined, and aggressive.

Su Qing’s cooking stove was the kind that she had asked Ji Shuisheng to build. The stone chimney was not very useful, and the smoke was a little everywhere, but the fire was powerful. Su Qing asked Zhong Yong to carry the big pot, and she poured the coal into the fire.

Everyone wondered why Su Qing had poured the black stone into the stove. Wasn’t she afraid of extinguishing the fire?

However, everyone’s worries were unnecessary. Not only was the fire not extinguished, but it was still burning brightly. The coal seemed to have oil, glowing red and making people sweat.

” How magical. Can Stones burn? ”

Everyone was shocked. It was enlightening to be by Su Qing’s side.

Ji Shuisheng reached out to test the temperature but was scalded back before getting close. It was no wonder Su Qing said that this was a good thing. If he used it to smelt iron ore, it would be twice the result with half the effort. It should not be a problem to forge a treasured saber like his Luan Saber, right?

Su Qing overlooked Ji Shuisheng’s myriad of thoughts at the side. Her attention was focused on cooking and thinking about how to make delicious food with the current ingredients.

While braising the meat, Su Qing asked Li Daniu and the others to bury the potatoes in a thin layer of soil according to the method she had taught them. They boiled water on top and roasted the potatoes on the bottom.

Su Qing saw the children following behind her, looking at her with big, clear eyes. Facing so many expectant eyes, Su Qing decided to cook something delicious for the children..
