Chapter 20: Waterway

Lu Jueyu looked around and when she saw no one, she collected the berry bushes. When a wild berries bush enters her space, it's registered as a seed in her store, and the shrub is planted in the field. As for the ripened fruits, they are harvested and stored in the warehouse.

Along the way, she collected several fruit trees. She even found some trees that produced edible nuts and seeds. While she was excited by her discovery, she couldn't help but marvel at the author's randomness. She found mushrooms and trees that couldn't grow in winter, but they thrived.

The farther she went into the mountains, the more food she found. She found not only fruits and mushrooms, but even vegetables and staple foods. As she collected these things, she kept drawing a map of the mountain in her mind. She also wanted to use bamboo water pipes to get mountain spring water for Li Chenmo.

Three hours later, she left the mountain and returned home. When she walked into the front yard, she saw that her brothers had already cleaned up the bamboo. Looking at the bamboo pole, she was satisfied. The diameter of the stem is about fifteen centimeters, which is enough for water to flow smoothly.

Seeing Lu Jueyu come back, Lu Han said, "Jueyu, we have cleaned up the leaves. Now we can start making water pipes."

"Okay, I'll put the jar and basket in the kitchen first." Lu Jueyu said as she walked towards the kitchen.

When she came back, she brought some charcoal. She marked the bamboo with it and told her brother to cut it according to her markings. Instead of splitting the bamboo in half, she made a hole in the bamboo and cleared the bamboo inside the segment part. In this way, the bamboo can be used as a water pipe. Before going to the mountain spring site, they prepared 40 bamboo water pipes.

Her brothers are so strong that they can hold ten bamboos at once. And her task is to take the hemp rope. When they reached the mountain spring, they used a short piece of bamboo to guide the mountain spring water into the bamboo tube. Afterwards, they used some logs as poles and tied it to the bamboo to hold it in place.

They connected the bamboo one by one until they reached the backyard of Lu's house. A small hole has been dug in the backyard, and river stones have been pasted on the wall to form a small pond. When the last bamboo is tied up, water gushes out from the bamboo and fills the pond in an instant. Excess water flows to the canal that connects to the vegetable fields and the river near their home.

With this design, they don't have to worry about the backyard being flooded, and they don't need to water the vegetable patch anymore. After thinking about it, Lu Jueyu used smaller bamboos to divide the water. Smaller bamboo is attached to the water tank in the backyard. This way, they don't need to manually fill the tank.

When they were done, the sky began to darken. Lu Jueyu looked at her brothers and asked, "Brother, can you help me open another waterway for Brother Chenmo's house?"

Lu Han and Lu Cheng thought about it and nodded. After all, their sister would marry that guy and live there.

"Well, we already know how to build it. So, you don't need to worry about us. Go and have a rest." Lu Cheng said, and drove her away.

"Thank you, brother," she said with a smile.

"We are all a family, there is no need to be so polite." Lu Han said with a sigh.

"Then I'll make you a delicious dinner."

Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to boil water for her brothers. When the water boiled, she went back to her room. After locking the room, she entered her space and took a hot shower. She soaked in the bathtub for a while before finished her shower.

After taking a shower, she went to get the ingredients for dinner. When she walked into the warehouse, she was a little surprised to see so many new ingredients appearing in it. After she took a closer look, these new things were actually those plants she collected this morning. There's even natural honey that she stumbled upon unexpectedly.

The more ingredients, the more menus she can make. Thinking of the hard work of her brothers, she took two kilograms of meat, one kilogram of white rice, some vegetables, and twenty eggs before leaving her space. Under normal circumstances, one kilogram of raw rice can feed 20 adults.

But people in this era have a bigger appetite than modern people. So she decided to cook one kilogram of rice, which should be enough for her family, Li Chenmo and his father to eat.

When she arrived at the kitchen, she saw Mother Lu scooping up some coarse grains from the rice jar. Their family eats mostly coarse grains and saves some white rice for special occasions. The remaining rice will be sold to state-run supply stores or exchanged for other supplies with the villagers. While their family earns a lot of work points, they also consume a lot of food. If they only eat white rice, there will not be enough food until the next harvest.

Lu Jueyu looked at the almost empty jar and said, "Mother, let me cook. You should rest, or your rheumatism will get worse."

When Mother Lu heard her daughter's concern, she smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

After Mother Lu left the kitchen, Lu Jueyu poured the coarse grains back into the jar and started making dinner. After washing the rice, she steams it with pandan leaves. With pandan leaves, the steamed rice becomes more fragrant.

While steaming rice, she made braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and egg drop soup. About an hour later, the dinner was ready.

Chapter 21: All is Fair In War

Lu Jueyu took out two wooden bowls and two wooden plates, put some food on them, and put them into the bamboo basket. She keeps the baskets in her space as her space can keep items in top condition.

As soon as the bamboo basket was put away, her sister-in-law entered the kitchen. When Chen Anwen saw the braised pork, egg soup and white rice, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. For the villagers, unless there is a wedding or some important celebration, they do not cook white rice or meat dishes. Seeing the food in front of her, she thought that today was someone's wedding day ah!

"Jueyu, you.. Did you make all of these?" She asked in disbelief.

"En. Sister-in-law, help me bring it out. We should eat it while it's hot." Without noticing the surprise on her sister-in-law's face, Lu Jueyu said casually, and came to the living room with braised pork and rice.

Not long after she left, Wang Muxiao entered the kitchen and exclaimed, "Aiya, who made these dishes?!"

As she shouted, she hurried to the cabinet to check the meat and white rice.

Chen Anwen looked at her with complicated eyes, and said, "Jueyu cooked it."

Hearing these words, Wang Muxiao stopped rummaging through the cabinet and heaved a sigh of relief. She turned to Chen Anwen and said, "That's good. If Jueyu cooks, she won't use our food. Li Chenmo must have bought these."

After Wang Muxiao finished speaking, she picked up a large bowl full of egg drop soup and walked to the living room. Chen Anwen could only pick up the stir-fried vegetables and followed her to the living room. When they walked into the living room, they saw that everyone was already sitting around the table with complicated expressions.

While feeling sorry for the money Li Chenmo spent on white rice and meat, they couldn't help licking their lips and swallowing when they smelled the fragrance of meat wafting from the dishes. Not to mention children, even adults couldn't help salivating.

After the soup and dishes were set, Chen Anwen sat beside her husband and glanced at her in-laws. Mother Lu's expression was not very good, while Father Lu was expressionless.

Seeing that no one moved their chopsticks, Lu Jueyu said, "Father, Mother, let's eat while it's hot."

Her parents looked at her, sighed, and picked a piece of braised pork. After they took a bite, everyone moved their chopsticks. They started attacking the plate of braised pork the moment they picked up their chopsticks. As a chef, Lu Jueyu's craftsmanship is top-notch. What's more, she also used the water in her own space which increased the taste of the food.

At first, Mother Lu wanted to remind her about how to live well. But the moment she bit the meat, she forgot what she wanted to say. All she could think about was the juice bursting in her mouth. The smell of meat filled her mouth and nostrils. Before she knew it, she had already eaten several pieces of meat.

For the first time, no one spoke during the meal. Usually, they chat about little things that happened to them throughout the day. But tonight, they're busy eating. They worry that if they talk, the meat will be eaten by others, and they will eat one bite less.

Their attack power amazed Lu Jueyu. Seeing the rapidly shrinking braised meat, she quickly picked some for Lu Wenyi and Lu Wenmu. The two children are still young and eat slower than adults. If she doesn't give them more, the braised pork will be eaten by others when they finish eating the meat in the bowl.

She uses pork belly for tonight's braised pork. The pattern of pork belly resembles marbles with layers of fat and lean meat. As a person who grew up in modern society, Lu Jueyu prefers to eat lean meat rather than fat meat. So, when everyone else chose braised pork, she chose stir-fried vegetables.

In less than ten minutes, a large plate of braised pork was eaten. Seeing that there was still a lot of rice left, Lu Han, Lu Cheng, and Father Lu scooped up another bowl. When they finished filling their third bowls, Father Lu had already poured the braised pork sauce on his bowl.

Seeing this, Lu Han and Lu Cheng were stunned. Sensing their gazes, Father Lu snorted coldly and continued eating. All is fair in war. If you eat slowly, you can't blame others for eating more than you.

Since there was no meat, everyone ate egg soup and fried vegetables. Although it was just vegetables and mushrooms, the vegetables and mushrooms were fresh and crunchy. The more they eat, the bigger the appetite. In only thirty minutes, they finished their dinner without leaving even a drop of soup.

Lu Jueyu looked at her family in astonishment. They really could eat a lot!

She smiled as they patted their bellies. She got up to clean up the table, when she heard Chen Anwen say, "You have already cooked, second sister-in-law and I will clean up. Don't you still need to bring food for Li Chenmo?"

"Then I will trouble my sisters-in-law." Lu Jueyu didn't refuse their offers and nodded.

After dinner, she walked to Li's house with an empty basket. When she got outside the gate, she took out the food from her space, placed it inside the bamboo basket, and walked in. When she was near the house, she heard Li Chenmo talking to his father.

"Third son, are you sure about it?" Father Li asked.

"Father, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I hope you can help me with this matter."

"Now that you've decided, I'll try to talk to them." Father Li sighed.

"Thank you, father."

Lu Jueyu didn't know what they were talking about, but she didn't intend to ask either. So, when she walks, she makes a louder noise. As she expected, they both stopped talking when they heard her footsteps.
