"Okay, but don't let it interfere with your studies."

Lu Yulan didn't know Chu Rui very well, but from his interactions with Uncle and Green, she knew that he was a strong-willed and proud person. If she didn't let him do something, he would probably feel uncomfortable.

Because she had set a goal for the future, Lu Yulan felt motivated in her life, so she was very happy.

Preparing to make a big meal: peanut dumplings.

[Host, are you kidding me? Nobody likes to eat this stuff, and neither do I.]

"No, I'm serious, I made this for you to eat."

[Host, I was wrong. You are the kindest, most skillful, most generous, most adorable, and most beautiful...]

"Okay, just kidding."

If you actually made peanut-filled dumplings, you'd probably get beaten to death.

In September, the lotus flowers in the lake had already withered, and the lotus seeds and roots needed to be harvested. The crops in the courtyard had just sprouted; they were planted when Lu Didi left, and hadn't been there for more than a few days.

Because she has been eating meat all the time, she has grown a lot of vegetables, including Chinese cabbage, radishes, cauliflower, cabbage and celery, just a few dozen of each.

The chives I planted a long time ago have already flowered and are ready to be harvested for seeds.

There were also mung beans and sweet potatoes, and potatoes were still growing in the ground.

The busy morning passed by in the autumn harvest. As for the things on the back mountain, she would wait for Green to return so that Green and Chu Rui could go together.

The back mountain is a sacred place, and it's not friendly to her. It's better for Chu Rui, who isn't attacked by plants.

Looking at the food stored in the kitchen, which was almost overflowing, Lu Yulan touched her chin, wondering what dish she could make to quickly finish all these vegetables.

Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and mung beans can all be made into powder or dried.

But vegetables should be eaten sooner rather than later, even though they won't spoil if left out.

Maocai, hot pot, mala tang, skewers, and fried skewers are all fine, but Grandpa Lu is an old man, and Lu Yulan always feels that these dishes are too perfunctory for him.

So I'm going to make rice rolls.

[Host, this is also very perfunctory.]

"Where is the perfunctory attitude? Making lunch is an art, you don't understand."

【oh!】

Looking at the few remaining bird eggs in the storage cabinet, Lu Yulan paused for a moment. It seemed it was time to go and collect the eggs.

But there's no rush now; it'll do for now.

Stir-fry the bird eggs with the soybean paste she just made to make an egg sauce, and set aside.

Then, the pork and the remaining level-one beast meat are cut into small pieces, marinated with spices for a while, and then pan-fried until cooked through.

The rest is incredibly simple: wash the lettuce, cucumber, carrot, and scallions, and arrange them on a plate.

Cook a big pot of white rice, and you're all set!

[Host, aren't you ashamed?]

"Yes, I'd like to add a plate of peanuts, two fried sesame cakes, and some fried dough sticks."

Forget it, this person is hopeless. She's too lazy to stay home. She's been in a bad mood lately and has a headache, so I'll let her go.

Before Lu Yulan could finish cooking, Grandpa Lu's loud voice rang out.

"Lanlan, I'm back! Look what I caught for you!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Yulan felt for a moment that it sounded like her younger brother. Indeed, family is family.

When she went out, she only saw Green Life give her a hopeless look, then lie pitifully at the bottom of the lake, clutching its tail.

Even the big fish in the lake no longer interested him.

"Grandpa Lu, how did you catch the fish in the sea?"

Looking at the enormous "fish" at Grandpa Lu's feet, Lu Yulan felt that Grandpa Lu was particularly tall and imposing today.

[Host, your grandfather is a player; give him a fork.]

Lu Yulan: ...
