I became an old man in my leisure time
Chapter 029: A gift for rush work
Gu Ke was sweating slightly on his forehead, but he was in a good mood.
The small hatchet comes with 2 points of damage, plus the 27 points of damage from the Wuxiang Sutra, it is 29 points of damage.
Cutting grass, trees and vines was much easier than he thought, and cutting stones was much easier than he imagined.
Under normal circumstances, this large bluestone could only be chipped away bit by bit with a hammer and chisel, but he felt like he was cutting very strong wood. It took a little more effort, but it was not slow.
The tenacity of the black evil palm protected both hands and arms. The skin on the palms was not broken and the arms were not sore.
As long as you have enough energy to do it for half an hour at a stretch.
Gu Ke kept moving his hands and prying up the stone bars.
After prying off the first layer, repeat the process of cutting out the grid marks and prying off the stone strips.
In my ears I could hear the creaking sound of the tip of the knife rubbing against the stone, as well as gravel and dust. This work was boring and boring.
He thought about the feeling of lying on his back and being surrounded by hot water after finishing the big tub, and he felt very immersed in it.
By the time Xiaoman called for lunch, he had almost pried off the second floor. The middle of the big bluestone had sunk about an inch, showing an oval shallow pit.
After lunch, Xiao Man also came to join in the fun.
As a result, she cut the large bluestone with a hatchet, leaving only a shallow mark of less than one point (1 inch ≈ 3 centimeters = 10 points).
After thinking about it, Gu Ke felt that this was probably the effect of the damage attribute.
Xiao Man had just started practicing martial arts. He only relied on the 2 points of damage from the small hatchet and was basically powerless against the big blue stone.
He has additional damage from the Formless Scripture, and with the same strength, his cutting efficiency is more than ten times that of Xiao Man.
So the cutting was still done by Gu Ke, and it was Xiao Man's task to pry up the stone strips and clean up the gravel.
In this way, the two of them took turns chatting with each other. The efficiency was not greatly increased, but they felt quite relaxed.
The sky was getting dark, and Bai Suqing called the two of them over to the small hut. At this moment, the pit on the big bluestone had been dug to a depth of half a foot.
In the stone basin was warm water that she had just mixed, so that the two people who came back with disgraced faces washed their hands and faces, and then went into the house to have sweet soup for dinner together.
Bai Suqing told Xiao Man to have a good sleep and not to talk until late at night, before he drifted away.
After watching her leave, Xiao Man asked Gu Ke aggrievedly: "Why does Sister Bai only talk about me?"
Gu Ke smiled and knocked the bear on the head: "Because I fall asleep very quickly and won't chat with you."
Xiaoman was speechless: But, I want to chat.
After blocking the mouth of the little hired worker, Gu Ke silently added another sentence in his heart: If you rest obediently, then I can only rest. Of course your sister Bai doesn't need to say anything to me.
This night was no different from the previous few days. After getting familiar with the environment of the small hut, Xiao Man's voice stopped abruptly at the second watch.
Gu Ke went over and covered her with the quilt that she had lifted up with her hands and feet. Then he went back to the bed and lay down. He closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.
…
I had a dreamless night and woke up early.
If you sign in for the first time, you will still only receive a basic reward of 10 points.
Wake up Xiao Man. She didn't stay in bed after falling asleep on time last night.
Well, this was definitely not because Gu Ke shouted in her ear, "Get up, let's make breakfast."
After a brief wash, the two came to the big bluestone in front of the warehouse and started working again.
Then Bai Suqing came with gruel, and the three of them had breakfast together.
Bai Suqing sat peacefully in front of the small hut, continuing her daily routine of daze.
Gu Ke and the two watered the wheat field and continued to ponder the big bluestone.
With yesterday's experience, the two of them cooperated more tacitly and more efficiently today.
The days went by like this, peacefully.
A large piece of the big bluestone has been hollowed out, turning it into a long vat about half a foot thick.
Gu Ke took a small hatchet and chipped away at the protrusions on the side wall of the large tub. Thin pieces of stone continued to fall, and the inner wall of the tub became flat.
I was busy until lunchtime, and the work was mostly completed.
In the afternoon, it was Xiaoman's turn to work hard.
With a petite body, she took a palm-sized sandstone, dipped it in the stream water in the bluestone vat, and carefully ground it along the inner wall and edges until the stone surface felt no roughness at all.
It was approaching evening, and Xiaoman watched Gu Ke holding the sandstone and checking for omissions for half an hour before finally standing up and throwing away the sandstone.
"Is everything okay?" She raised her eyes and asked him for confirmation.
Gu Ke smiled brightly: "Okay, let's call it a day and have dinner. Can you try it first tonight?"
Xiao Manfang nodded, then immediately shook his head: "No, no, you said it was for Sister Bai, how can I use it."
Gu Ke patted his forehead: "That's right."
Hearing this, Xiaoman looked at the vat with longing eyes.
Gu Ke pulled her back and said, "Although it belongs to Sister Bai, you can ask her to lend it to you. It's not like she can't get out after lying in it."
Xiaoman thought about it and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, after she has used it, I can borrow it for another use. It should be fine."
Gu Ke smiled and nodded, but he muttered in his heart: Your sister Bai may share other things, but not this one!
He also wanted to use it, but when Bai Suqing came back from getting the big bluestone, his old injury almost recurred and he couldn't use it.
Forget it, I will find a suitable big stone when I have time and make another one. Gu Ke thought so.
But for him and Xiao Man, there was no need to find such a big stone. Two-thirds to half of the first bluestone was enough.
Back at the small hut, Bai Suqing had already prepared dinner.
In the past few days, Gu Ke and Xiao Man were busy with the fields and vats, and Bai Suqing took over the tasks of cooking, fetching and boiling water.
Gu Ke saw all this and remembered it in his heart.
It is not difficult to do these chores, but it is rare to be willing to take the initiative and not be reluctant.
While eating dinner, Bai Suqing looked at the two people in the dust: "The purple wheat should be ripe tomorrow, don't mess with the stone anymore, and go to bed early tonight."
Gu Ke didn't care: "I promised to give you a gift, how can I give up halfway."
Bai Suqing's eyes were gentle: "Do you really think I covet your gift?"
Gu Ke smiled and shook his head: "Sister Bai, you are gentle and quiet, knowledgeable and sensible, how could you be like this. It's just that Xiaoman and I have just done it, you can't refuse it."
Bai Suqing glared at her with a little anger: "Then I am too talkative?"
Gu Ke avoided answering: "Eat dinner, go and take a look before you go back, and tell me if you are not satisfied."
Bai Suqing snorted lightly, but didn't say anything else, which was considered as tacit agreement.
The three of them sped up at the same time and drank the sweet soup in a few gulps.
Except for Xiaoman, who never gets tired of sweetness, Gu Ke and Bai Suqing couldn't stand it.
But there is no way, this is the only food that can provide a lot of calories and stabilize Bai Suqing's old injury.
Tomorrow is the time when the second batch of purple wheat matures, I hope the wheat grains will not be sweeter.
Bai Suqing walked onto the stone platform on the warehouse side for the first time in these days.
The stone platform on the warehouse side is more than ten feet higher, and the situation on this side cannot be seen from the small hut.
Maybe she is very patient, or maybe the sweet soup stabilized the old injury, and the pain in her body was greatly reduced.
Gu Ke did not take the initiative to mention what it was, and even asked Xiaoman to keep it secret to give her a surprise.
She just took a nap every day, and did not come here, letting these two guys toss.
