Processing Guide
Village in the Shade Pickling Barrel Guide
The Pickling Barrel processes crops, fruit, Fish and Milk into Pickles, Jam, Natto, Yogurt and Fish Sauce. Unlock the blueprint through Chinana's Helping Ticket, craft the base machine at a Workbench, then use the Repair 2 skill for the three-material upgrade.
The short version
One blueprint. Seven output families.
The base machine has a distinct Helping Ticket unlock. The upgrade is a separate Shrine skill, with a separate recipe and resource cost.

How to Unlock the Pickling Barrel
Chinana's task unlocks the recipe, not the finished machine.
- 1. Use the Chinana Helping Ticket.Stable task ID:
chinana-spring-help. - 2. Search the road toward the Mountain Pass.The task asks you to find Chinana's stone and carry it back to her.
- 3. Meet Chinana on her next village day.The earliest documented route is Spring 17 for the task and Spring 19 for the reward conversation. The reward includes the Pickling Barrel recipe and Cucumber Pickles.
Blueprint versus machine
Recipe first, Workbench second
The Helping Ticket teaches the recipe. It does not replace the Workbench crafting step. Once the recipe is available, craft the base barrel with the exact base materials below.

What It Makes
Seven Output Families
The machine is broader than vegetables. Use the family cards to choose the right upstream guide.
Crop Pickles
Eligible crops and vegetables become Pickles in 1 day. The full audited list contains 32 outputs.
Find crop sources →Fruit Jam
Canonical fruit inputs become Jam in 1 day. Greenhouse fruits are included where the output record exists.
Find fruit sources →Natto
Soybean → Pickling Barrel → 2 days → Natto. Sell price ¥80; stamina ×60.
Check recipe uses →Yogurt
Milk → Pickling Barrel → 2 days → Yogurt. Sell price ¥231; stamina ×165. The verified input is Milk, not Goat Milk.
Find Milk sources →Fish Sauce
Eligible normal Fish → Pickling Barrel → 2 days → Fish Sauce. The machine does not inherit every Fishing record.
Find Fish sources →Other fermented goods
Pickled Plum and Vinegar are also documented Pickling Barrel outputs. Their records remain separate from the Pickles and Jam families.

This page gives the actionable Pickle callout; Requests remains the authority for the full Chief Delivery catalog and category reward.
The complete Processed Goods category is associated with the canonical Western-style construction reward. Do not use this page as a duplicate of the full 32-group delivery tracker.
Fish Sauce Compatibility
Which Fish Can Become Fish Sauce?
Use the explicit source whitelist. Do not promote every Fishing record into a valid Fish Sauce input.
Normal Fish: source whitelist
Aburahaya, Tanago, Kawamutsu, Yamame, Yamato Iwana, Rainbow Trout, Amago, Ayu, Satsukimasu, Oikawa, Ugui, Eel, Haryiyo, Yoshinobori, Kaji-ka, Funa, Koi, Namazu, Donko, Hotokedojo, Salmon, Ito.
Each eligible input uses ×1 Fish and takes 2 days. Some source names remain provisional in the repository localization table, so this page keeps the source class and stable-ID audit separate.
Not automatically eligible
Nushi Fish: unverified. Cursed Fish: unverified. Sawagani, Japanese Crayfish, Japanese Mitten Crab, Softshell Turtle and Frog remain aquatic non-fish exclusions unless a direct processing record is added.

Quality Boundary
Do Not Spend Irreplaceable Quality Items Yet
The current source set does not resolve how processing treats quality, branding or Fish size.
Crops
Quality preservation and output value scaling are unverified.
Fruit
Jam output is verified, but quality and branding preservation are not.
Milk and Soybean
Milk and Soybean inputs are verified for Yogurt and Natto; quality variants remain unresolved.
Fish
Fish Sauce accepts a source-listed normal Fish class. Fish size and value effects are unverified.
If a crop or livestock product is reserved for High-Quality Goods or another delivery, keep it unprocessed until preservation behavior is confirmed. Review Greenhouse requirements →
Troubleshooting
Why Can't I Use the Pickling Barrel?
Check the unlock boundary, input class and product timer before changing the recipe.
No recipe appears
Complete chinana-spring-help, return the stone, then meet Chinana on the next documented village visit. The recipe comes from the ticket reward.
Can't craft it
Use a Workbench with Wood ×20 and Stone ×5. Easy Wood and Heavy Stone are upgrade materials, not base materials.
The input is rejected
Check the family: crop, fruit, Soybean, Milk or eligible normal Fish. Goat Milk, quality variants and special Fish are not inherited automatically.
Food is not ready
Pickles and Jam use the 1-day path. Natto, Yogurt, Fish Sauce, Pickled Plum and Vinegar use the 2-day path in the current audit.
Upgrade recipe is missing
Unlock the Repair Stage 2 skill first, then craft Pickling Barrel ×1, Easy Wood ×20 and Heavy Stone ×5 at the Workbench.
Chief Delivery is blocked
Keep Onion Pickles ×5, Cucumber Pickles ×5 and Napa Cabbage Pickles ×5 reserved for the Processed Goods subgroup.

FAQ
Pickling Barrel Questions
Short answers for unlocking, crafting, compatibility, timing, delivery and the upgrade.
How do I unlock the Pickling Barrel?
Use the chinana-spring-help Helping Ticket. On Spring 17, find Chinana's stone on the road toward the Mountain Pass, return it to her, then visit her on her next village day. The earliest documented reward day is Spring 19.
What is the Pickling Barrel recipe?
Craft it at a Workbench with Wood ×20 and Stone ×5.
Does Chinana give the finished machine?
No. The Helping Ticket gives the Pickling Barrel recipe or blueprint. The actual machine is crafted separately at the Workbench.
What can the Pickling Barrel make?
The documented families are Pickles, Jam, Pickled Plum, Vinegar, Natto, Yogurt and Fish Sauce.
How long do Pickles take?
The audited Pickle records are listed at 1 day.
How long does Jam take?
The audited Jam records are listed at 1 day.
How long does Natto take?
Soybean becomes Natto in 2 days. Natto sells for ¥80 and restores ×60 stamina.
How long does Yogurt take?
Milk becomes Yogurt in 2 days. Yogurt sells for ¥231 and restores ×165 stamina.
How do I make Fish Sauce?
Use an eligible normal Fish in the Pickling Barrel and wait 2 days. The source whitelist does not establish Nushi, Cursed Fish or aquatic non-fish catches.
Which Pickles do I need for Chief Delivery?
Onion Pickles ×5, Cucumber Pickles ×5 and Napa Cabbage Pickles ×5. The Pickles subgroup reward is Swing.
How do I unlock the Upgraded Pickling Barrel?
Buy the pickling-barrel-plus Shrine skill at Repair Stage 2 for Standard Magatama ×1, Rain Magatama ×2, Child Magatama ×1 and Bronze Mirror ×1.
What is the Upgraded Pickling Barrel recipe?
At a Workbench, combine Pickling Barrel ×1, Easy Wood ×20 and Heavy Stone ×5.
What does the upgrade improve?
It holds up to three material units at once. That is a capacity increase, not proof that the machine is three times faster.
Can Goat Milk make Yogurt?
The current canonical route verifies Milk for Yogurt. Goat Milk and branded or quality Milk variants remain unverified.
Does processing preserve quality or branding?
The current source set does not verify quality or branding preservation for crops, Milk, Soybean, fruit or Fish.
Soybean can also become Soy Sauce in the Oil Press Guide; keep Natto and Soy Sauce as separate machine routes.
Natto is one Soybean branch. The Mill Guide covers the separate Kinako route.
