Time flies, and it's already the 71st day.
The text in the upper right corner has a new change, "Autumn, harvest day."
"Harvest day?" Yun Ling squeezed the mung bean cake and ate it in small bites.
I don't know how this mung bean cake is made, it is delicate and soft, and the taste is excellent.
Yun Ling fell in love with it after eating it once, and was worried that she would not have to eat it in the future, but it happened that You Qingwen gave her a few more boxes.
"It doesn't sound like bad news." She pondered while eating pastries, "Could it be that the game's conscience has found that the players are finally allowed to recuperate?"
After pondering for a moment, Yun Ling decided to lead the team out to see what was going on in the wild.
At 8:00 sharp, the team set off on time.
Today's team is not the same as it used to be. There are more than 40 NPCs, and 40 people in the collection team, which add up to 8/90 people.
Yun Ling glanced at it and divided everyone into two teams.
Then, the Guard led one team out on the expedition, and she led the other team in the opposite direction.
Autumn is indeed a harvest day, and the refreshed resource points are much more than the peace day.
Yunling didn't walk for a few minutes when he saw berries, cornfields, and potatoes. She did not stop the collection team, but continued to move forward.
According to the guess, the winter will be hard, and she wants to prepare for the winter in advance.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I came across a cotton field. Only then did Yun Ling stop and arrange for the players to collect.
There is no need to give more orders, the players work consciously and in an orderly manner.
Just then, the grass swayed gently. The eight gray rabbits hopped around and gathered together to graze.
Yun Ling shouted, "Mage!"
It was too late, then fast, and lightning, stones, fireballs, and hail poured out, instantly drowning the gray rabbit.
But in the blink of an eye, all the mobs were destroyed, and only rabbit meat, rabbit skin, copper coins, and white rabbit fur gloves floated in the air.
Yun Ling picked up the dropped items one by one, thinking that the items were good. Whether it is rabbit skin or rabbit fur gloves, they are suitable for keeping out the cold.
In winter, not only do we need to provide players with cold protection equipment, but also the combat-type NPCs under their hands. In this way, at least fifty copies have to be prepared.
In a short time, the cotton fields were emptied.
"Let's go." Yun Ling's thoughts were up and down, his face was not obvious, and he walked calmly.
**
In the evening, Yunling went back to the house to rest.
She first made herself a cup of Pu'er tea, and then drank the tea while dealing with territorial matters.
Level: 3
Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 8, Stamina 8, Intelligence 6, Spirit 6.
Combat skills: none
Life Skill: Advanced Sewing
Items that can be made: Bandages, quivers, shoes, cotton shoes, linen, cotton clothes, cotton pants, knee pads, quilts, blankets, leather gloves, leather clothes.
The moment I saw the craftable item, I felt the breath of winter blowing in my face.
Yunling hired him without hesitation, named the NPC "Senior C", and then sent it to the tailor's shop to start making cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, knee pads, quilts, and blankets.

Yun Ling really wanted to upgrade his farmland to level 2, but the blacksmith shop he was thinking about was about to unlock time.
However, once the smithy is unlocked, mining requires a lot of labor, and the farmland may lack enough manpower to take care of it.
Fields are no better than bushes, which are so vigorous that they can be harvested without anyone looking after them. If the fields are left unattended, it is not impossible that the production of the land will be greatly reduced.
How to do
Yun Ling was in a dilemma.
Before she could come up with a countermeasure, the system sounded a prompt, "Player 'You Qingwen' has requested to enter the house, is it allowed?"
Ever since she revealed her identity, bought a stone house, and became a neighbor, You Qingwen has often come to visit. One is to send salt, and the other is to bring her some delicious food.
Yun Ling casually clicked "Yes" and let him into the house.
"This is freshly made salt." You Qingwen said as she took out a wooden jar and a wooden bowl from her backpack, "This is a freshly fried sugar cake, try it?"
The sugar cake is golden in color, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
"Leave it first." Yun Ling looked sad.
She also wanted to let go of her stomach and eat as much as she wanted, but her weight didn't allow it.
"Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste so good when it's cold." You Qingwen reminded.
"I know." Yun Ling decided to change the subject, "Winter is coming soon, and every household needs salt to make pickled products."
"Have you asked the tech giants you picked up? Can the output be increased?"
"I've asked." You Qingwen's face became solemn when she mentioned the business. "He said that some of the equipment he originally carried was destroyed due to an accident, and the current daily salt output is about 1,000 packs."
"If you want to increase the output, you need to find a special master to open the kiln and customize the experimental tools according to the requirements."
Speaking of this, she looked at Yun Ling with hope, as if feeling that the lord is omnipotent, and there must be a way to solve it.
Yun Ling, "…"
"That's it." She said slowly.
"What? Can't do it?" You Qingwen was surprised.
Yun Ling: "This question is beyond the scope. There is no kiln in the building to be unlocked."
"Okay." You Qingwen shrugged, "Actually, residents don't have to make bacon. Bacon and bacon can also be preserved for a long time."
"A family I know has already started looking for jars to make wowotou. When it's cold, the jars can be kept outside the house and can be eaten all winter."
"And dried sweet potatoes, hash browns, homemade mustard greens, spicy meat sauce...all shelf-stable."
"There are many ways, and bacon is only one of them."
Yun Ling said, "The shelf life of game materials is very long, most of them are as long as 180 days. Even if they are not pickled, they can be stored."
Speaking of this incident, You Qingwen remembered the piles of rotten food in the house, and her heart throbbed, "Speaking of which, you once reminded me to stock up on game materials. At that time, I was exploring around and searching for a large pile of food, and I would be stunned. I don't take your words seriously. Who knows that when summer comes, no amount of food will be of much use, all of which will go bad and moldy."
Thinking back to this day, I still have angina.
"There is no summer during the public beta period, so I'm just guessing. It just so happened that I guessed it." Yun Ling smiled helplessly.
"So from then on, I don't mind speculating on the game with the worst malicious intentions." You Qingwen stood up while speaking, "There are still a lot of things to be busy with, I'm leaving."
"Okay." Yun Ling sent the guest out, and then immersed himself in his own thoughts.
**
The next day, a new building "Blacksmith Shop" appeared in Lingyun Town.
At the same time, seven new collection quests have been released in the quest hall and territory.
[Acquisition of saltpeter, 1 copper coin 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of coal ore, 3 copper coins and 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of copper ore, 3 copper coins and 1 piece. 】
[Buy iron ore, 5 copper coins and 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of cold iron ore, 8 copper coins and 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of mysterious iron ore, 15 copper coins 1 piece. 】
[Acquisition of Wujin ore, 1 piece of 30 copper coins. 】
One person was handing in the sackcloth, and when he caught a glimpse of the new task, his eyes flashed with ecstasy, "I went into the cave to hide from the rain, but I picked up a piece of black gold ore! How easy can I get 30 copper coins??"
He couldn't believe it and quickly submitted the ore.
The next second, Ujin Ore -1, Copper +30.
"This is much higher income than hunting! It's still safe, no risk!" The man was overjoyed and ran out of the mission hall - he planned to bring tools, and then invite relatives and friends to go mining together in the cave.
"Can copper ore and iron ore be exchanged for money? There are drops when fighting monsters!"
"I have studied blueprints, and in order to make purple suits, I specially went to dig mysterious iron ore. Now I have two pieces left."
"Although I've never dug mines, and I don't know where the mines are... But in order to complete the collection task, I can!!"
The crowd was enthusiastic, and many players started to prepare and plan to engage in the lucrative job of "mining".
…
At the same time, the system prompts constantly.
[Congratulations on getting Wujin Ore*1. 】
【Congratulations for getting iron ore*1. 】
【Congratulations for getting copper ore*2. 】
In the stone house, Yun Ling smiled brightly.
What are you afraid of? Raise the purchase price of ore, and have your own players follow and actively participate.
Yunling opened the panel and raised the farmland to level 2.
Farmland (Level 2): You can hire people to farm and harvest crops stably. It takes 100 copper coins to open up a field. (Currently you can own up to 50 fields)
"In this way, the problem is solved." Yun Ling said easily.

Blacksmith shop.
Qiaoqiao entered and asked repeatedly, "Is there a kitchen knife? Is there a machete? Is there a small dagger?"
There is only one blacksmith Jia in the shop, and he is smelting ore at the moment.
As soon as the bellows was pulled, the flames jumped high, followed by a tinkling sound of iron being struck locally.
The blacksmith Jia Ung said in a stern voice, "I just got a batch of ore, and it is being smelted right now. It will take some time to create the finished product."
"What will the store sell in the future?" Qiaoqiao asked.
Don't blame her for being obsessed, she really needs a tool at hand.
The kitchen knife can cook, the machete can speed up the collection and harvesting, and the dagger can defend oneself. It would be great if all these things were sold.
Blacksmith Jia didn't say a word, but revealed the attribute panel.
【Name: Blacksmith Armor】
Combat skills: none
Life skills: primary mining, intermediate smelting, intermediate forging.
Craftable items: small animal trap, iron pot, iron pickaxe, pocket knife, kitchen knife, short knife, steel knife, machete, bronze sword, broadsword, seven-star sword, chain mail, bronze helmet, bronze shield, iron shield.
There are kitchen knives, machetes, and knives!
Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up and excitedly said, "Then you smelt first, and I'll come back at night."
**
Summer goes to autumn, and the heat fades away.
At the same time as the high temperature dissipated, the storage of non-game materials in the warehouse was just exhausted.
The kitchen of the restaurant.
Chef A gently reminded, "Sir, the limited supply of food every day may affect the business of the store."
"It doesn't matter." Yun Ling didn't care much. "The reason why restaurants exist is not to make money. It's to provide a place to spend money to buy food when the residents run out of food."
"From today, 50 multigrain steamed buns and 50 bowls of white porridge will be served for breakfast."
"Lunch serves 50 black rice cakes and 50 bowls of rice soup."
"30 rice cakes, 30 vegetable salads, 30 sandwiches for dinner."
"Breakfast and lunch can't be sold out, so they will be sold together in the evening. If the food is not sold out that day, it can be reserved for NPCs as meals."
The menu was decided after careful consideration. She made a comprehensive analysis of the number of people in the territory, the consumption capacity of residents, the situation of food storage, and the daily income of the collection team when they went out to set this number.
Under normal circumstances, stocking is too much.
Nowadays, all the food sold in restaurants is supplemented with buffs. The prices are quite high, and few people can afford them.
On the other hand, it is autumn, harvest day, and wild resources are everywhere. If residents want to save money, they can dig out the ingredients and cook for themselves.
After making up his mind, Yun Ling ordered the chefs to follow the plan.
**
In fact, if the stored food is not eaten as soon as possible, players will find that after a summer, the non-game food products have become moldy, expired, and all become inedible.
Some people lamented, "I am so unlucky! The food that was finally dropped between my teeth was just wasted in vain."
"If I knew it would expire, I might as well let go of my stomach and have a quick meal!"
"My village used to stock up enough food for three to five years. The family hurry up and hurry up, but they didn't finish it before the expiration date. Yes, I will change the stockpiling of game ingredients in the future. I hope it can be stored for a longer time."
"Hey, it's just a matter of luck in my heart. If I sold part of the grain at a low price, I could get some copper coins back, and I don't have to watch it rot and mold."
…
After eating all the food in the spring and not finishing it in the summer, most residents do not have such happy troubles.
After consuming the food searched everywhere, people automatically change their recipes and use game ingredients to cook.
Once the potatoes are roasted, a sprinkle of salt is enough to satisfy your hunger.
Mixed with wild vegetables, it can be eaten well.
After picking mushrooms, millet peppers, and meat sauce, after pondering for a while, and adjusting the proportion of the recipe, you can make a good minced meat mushroom sauce.
Bamboo tube is filled with fragrant rice, accompanied by meat, add appropriate amount of water, put it into the fire and roast it, it becomes bamboo tube rice.
If you really have no culinary talent and are too lazy to cook your own food, you can buy it in a restaurant, hire someone to cook it, or go to a night market to buy supper.
Every night, there are always ingenious and skilled life players who are good at cooking and set up stalls on the spot to show their craftsmanship.
“Delicious roast lamb!”
"Freshly baked glutinous rice with eight treasures."
"Fried Udon with Mushrooms."
"Steamed egg custard! Crucian carp stew!"
Only other people can't think of it, and it can't be done without them. The food of the past has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and the population of Gou is flowing.
As a neighbor of a barbecue expert, Yunling suffered from it. Every evening, the aroma of barbecue must be wafted from the stone house next door, which really affects the good-neighborly and friendly relations.
Just when Yunling was about to come to protest, the neighbor came to visit, "I made skewers, including grilled gluten, grilled rice cake, grilled squid, grilled pork belly, grilled fat beef, you can eat it."
Yun Ling, "…"
The skewers are coated with sauce and smell great!
One bite, sweet and spicy, spicy and sweet, it tastes very delicious and enjoyable.
"I like to give it to you next time." The neighbor was very kind.
Yun Ling: Yuan, I forgive you.
**
Day 75.
The berries are harvested and the crops are ripe. Just 5 days have passed since the last harvest.
At this point, Yunling finally understood what "every 5-10 days, a batch of crops can be harvested" means.
Harvest day, 5 days to harvest.
Disaster day, peace day, 10 days to harvest.
It's not a random value for character at all.
After thinking about it, Yun Ling calmed down instead, "It's okay to have a fixed date, so it's convenient to arrange NPCs to work."
**
During the autumn harvest season, ingredients are everywhere, and residents stock up on food to prepare for winter.
In the open space behind the wooden house, Xia Xi did not follow the trend of transplanting bushes, nor did he open up vegetable fields or plant wild vegetables. Instead, he found wood, soil, and sand, and planned to make a bread kiln.
The production of the bread kiln is not complicated, and Xia Xi is not the first time to do it. It is reasonable to say that it will be done soon.
The problem is that during the construction process, she found that the key material "bricks" was missing.
Before the end, you need bricks to buy everywhere.
After the apocalypse, there is not enough to eat, let alone anything else.
If you make it yourself, from borrowing soil to burning bricks, you can't do it in three to five months.
"Could it be that I can only give up?" Xia Xi hesitated.
During the hesitation, brother Xia Handong came home and shouted as soon as he entered the door, "Xiaoxi, come and have a look! I'll fix the bricks you want for you!"
Xia Xi was surprised. When she found out that what her brother brought back was indeed a red brick, she was surprised and delighted, "Where did it come from?"
"The monsters dropped." Xia Handong explained, "I met a few clay figurines. After killing them, they not only dropped clay, but also dropped bricks."
Seeing his sister holding the bricks and admiring them, he added, "You see if there are enough bricks. If not, I'll brush some more tomorrow."
"Not enough, I need to brush more." Saying that, Xia Xi smiled sweetly, "Thank you brother."
"Okay, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, brush the clay figurines until you have enough." Xia Handong readily responded.
After waiting for a few days and gathering the materials, Xia Xi officially started.
Build a base first, and then use sand and stones to lay the insulation layer. Then make a mud tire on the bottom plate, wrap the mud tire with cloth, reserve the position of the chimney, and then build a kiln outside.
When the kiln is built, the cloth and mud are taken out, and a small door made of wooden boards is added. At this time, the bread kiln is ready.
Don't look at the size, in fact, the inner tank is similar to the built-in oven.
After finishing the work, Xia Xi kneaded the flour and put it into the bread kiln to bake.
Bread kiln is also called earth kiln. It does not directly heat the food with firewood, but after the firewood is fully burned, the food is heated by the radiant heat of the thick wall.
The bread baked in this way is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which is better than the oven-made bread.
Xia Xi made five oven-baked breads, ate one for himself, and left the other four to his brother.
Xia Handong took a sip, showing a nostalgic look, "That's the taste! My grandma made it for us when I was young, but unfortunately I never tasted it again."
Xia Xi thought to herself, that is, then you went out to work and only returned home once a year during the Spring Festival. Sometimes in order to save money, the Spring Festival is reluctant to come back.
Looking at the remaining bread, she said solemnly, "Brother, I'm going to set up a stall to do business."
"Selling bread?" Xia Handong immediately reacted.
"En." Xia Xi nodded, "I'm not good at fighting. I used to rely on you to go out hunting to support my family. Now, I want to do something that I can do."
"Yes." In Xia Handong's opinion, there is nothing wrong with trying to do business. If you can't sell it, your family can help you eat it up.
Unlike his brother, it doesn't matter, Xia Xi is determined to do something. If nothing else, at least you have to support yourself.

Next to the wooden shed, Qiao Qiao is cooking bacon with Granny Qian.
Bacon practices vary from place to place. Granny Qian used to cut the pork into pieces first, then preliminarily marinate it with salt, and then start to smoke it.
In order to avoid ashes during the roasting, Granny Qian specially asked Qiaoqiao to set up a stone bonfire in the open space.
Different firewood will also affect the taste of the finished product. In order to eat delicious bacon, Qiaoqiao specially picked up cypress leaves and cypress branches.
Once the firewood is smoked, it is three days.
During the period, the fragrance was fragrant and filled the vicinity of the wooden shed, attracting passers-by to look back frequently.
More players came forward to ask, "Is this bacon for sale?"
Qiaoqiao answered uniformly, "I don't sell it, I made it for my family to eat."
The bacon is transparent and shiny, bright in color, and smells very unique. The player stood there and took a deep breath, barely able to move his legs.
Some people were so greedy, they just stood by and stole the lessons, planning to go back and do it by themselves.
Qiaoqiao and Granny Qian were busy with their work, and they watched without chasing them away.

somewhere in the town.
Lu Fei held a knife in his hand, and he was cutting wood quickly. After a while, a "door"-shaped wooden frame gradually took shape.
In order to prevent instability, the base is deliberately set into a triangle to increase stability.
Not far away, cousin Lu Feng was grabbing a handful of straw and twisting the rope.
While working hard, a woman came over and asked, "How do you sell the wooden frame?"
Lu Feng raised his face and replied with a smile, "20 copper coins each."
Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but show a pain in her flesh, "Where's the straw rope?"
Lu Feng: "3 copper coins each."
"It's too expensive." The woman thought, this is not doing business, it is clearly robbing money!
"You can't say that." Lu Feng analyzed carefully, "Look, it's almost winter, and everyone is busy hoarding food."
"Do you have enough salt for bacon? Can you make bacon? It seems that only bacon is best for people like us who don't know anything."
"I bought a wooden rack and hung the meat on the rack with straw ropes. How convenient? It will dry naturally in a few days."
The woman was clearly moved.
For ordinary people, restaurant salt is not cheap. On the other hand, even if she is willing to spend money to buy it, she can only buy at most one pack a day. To make more pickles, it's simply not enough.
As for what kind of bacon, she had heard of it, and she even stood by to steal the teacher for two days. As a result, the taste is completely different from others, and I don't know which step is the problem.
After much deliberation, it is true that air-dried bacon is the easiest to make.
The woman thought, but said, "It's too expensive, 10 copper coins are about the same for a wooden frame."
Lu Feng smiled wryly, "This is purely manual work, and you can't do a few a day. If you make such an offer, it's equivalent to ruining our jobs."
The woman was at a loss for words, and then said, "It's okay to ask for 20 copper coins. You can send me a few straw ropes."
Some tongue-in-cheek swords.
The woman paid 24 copper coins, took a wooden frame and three straw ropes, and left with satisfaction.
Lu Feng was also very happy.
For residents like them who are not good at fighting, it is better to stay in the territory to do manual work than to go out and fight the mobs.
Besides... Recently, wooden racks and straw ropes are selling hot. They add up and make a lot of money every day.
Thinking of the happy place, Lu Feng couldn't help grinning.

Yunling felt the enthusiasm of the residents of the territory to store food, and out of curiosity, he also tried to make cured meat.
【Name: cured meat】
Quality: common use effect: fill the stomach.
Shelf life: 237 days.
And three days ago, the ingredients clearly showed—
【Name: Pork Belly】
Quality: ordinary
Use effect: fill the stomach.
Shelf life: 180 days.
Excluding the three days of pickling, the shelf life is increased by 60 days, which shows that pickling really works.
Yunling tried smoking and drying again, and found that the shelf life is also +60.
"240 days, converted into game time, is 8 seasons, and residents will definitely be able to eat it before it expires." After confirming the result, she finally felt relieved.
