Su Yan carried dozens of kilograms of vegetables upstairs. She thought her aunt would be at home, but she didn't expect that she was at Lu's house with her son and had not returned.

It's half past ten now, so it's still early. We can light a fire and use a big pot to stew the deer bone soup first.

While her aunt was not at home, Su Yan took out dozens of kilograms of various vegetables and fungi, a pheasant, two large grass carps, ten kilograms of bacon and two blood sausages.

The deer bone soup was cooking in the pot. Su Yan carried the purchased eels into the space. The kitchen in the space canteen was comparable to the military canteen, making it more convenient to kill eels.

Su Yan didn't want to have eel blood all over the house. She had never killed this creature in her previous life, but she knew it was similar to killing a snake.

Hold its body with your fingers, shake its head hard on the chopping board a few times, wait for it to faint, then nail its head with a nail, then cut open its body to remove the bones and meat.

After killing the eel, Su Yan used the eel head to go to the pond and catch two big turtles. She killed one in the space and took the other out of the space.

After Su Yan prepared the ingredients, Lu Yu and Lu Chen came back holding Lu Yiming, saying that they were there to help.

Lu Yu carried Lu Yiming and walked to the stove, "Sister-in-law, I heard we're having hot pot for lunch."

"Well, Xiaochen will be taking the college entrance exam soon, so let him catch up."

Lu Chen smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law, let me help you light the fire!"

"No, I just added more firewood. Please help me wash the copper pot first. I will use the basin to pour out the soup from the pot."

Lu Chen found the big copper pot next to the kitchen cabinet in the living room and took it to the well downstairs to wash it.

Lu Yu put Lu Yiming down and looked at the vegetables and mushrooms on the ground. He prepared to pick some out with a winnowing basket, clean them, and use them for hot pot later.

When Hua Jing brought Qin Xiaofang and Lu Yilan over, Lu Chen had already put the washed copper pot on the table.

"Sister-in-law, when do you put the charcoal in? When do you pour the bone broth in?"

"Wait until everyone arrives before serving. You guys sit for a while while I stir-fry a few more dishes."

Hua Jing came over and said, "Xiao Yan, do you need my help?"

"No, just sit with Aunt Qin for a while. There are fruits and snacks on the coffee table."

Hua Jing led Qin Xiaofang into the house. When she saw the decoration inside, Qin Xiaofang felt a little unsure where to start.

"Xiaoyan's house is so beautiful. It's even painted. The bed curtains and tabletops look very high-end."

Hua Jing smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaoyan decorated the house very warmly."

Hua Jing took her sister-in-law to visit her room, so of course she couldn't go to Su Yan's master bedroom.

"Sister-in-law, do you have a sewing machine in your room?"

"Well, Xiao Ting bought it for Yan Yan, but I don't know how to use it."

"Sister-in-law, you said we should ask Xiaoyan to teach us how to operate the sewing machine. Do you think she can teach us? When we save enough money, we can buy a sewing machine. In a few years, when we don't have to help take care of the children, we can do some handicrafts at home."

Hua Jing felt that her sister-in-law's mind had become more flexible after she started working. She used to only know how to do farm work, but now she knows how to find ways to make money.

"Okay, I'll ask for you. I won't buy the sewing machine. I'll wait until my son gets married. Xiaoyan wants me to help take care of her child until he's at least three years old. I guess she'll have a second child by then, right?"

Qin Xiaofang felt that her sister-in-law's job of taking care of children, cooking and cleaning was much easier than farming in the countryside. The only downside was that her husband and children were not around.

At a quarter past twelve, Lu Ting, Lu Fengnian and Hua Min came over. Seeing that Lu Jin didn't come, Su Yan quickly asked Lu Yu to call for help.

That nerd is probably busy writing his novel in the room again. Su Yan occasionally writes a few short stories at school, but she doesn't write any long stories anymore. She always feels that she doesn't have enough energy after having a child.

Lu Ting asked everyone to sit down first. Lu Fengnian looked at the plates of fresh meat on the table and asked, "This meat looks like venison!"

"Dad, this is deer meat." Su Yan explained.

"Muntjacs also belong to the deer family. This is a good thing. Where does this meat come from?"

"I went back to my mother's house today. This was sent by my uncle and his family. My mother gave me half of it."

Su Yan opened her eyes and started to lie. Anyway, her father-in-law would not ask her family. Her grandfather and grandfather-in-law were originally from the countryside, and those relatives would usually send some to their family when they caught prey.

Her parents would sometimes help her husband's family and her own family. If they couldn't finish the food and fruits Su Yan sent them, they would send some to the countryside.

"This is a good thing. Comrade Qin, thanks to you today, we are all benefiting from it."

Lu Ting glanced at Lu Fengnian. Even if Aunt Qin hadn't come, they would have invited them to come and eat the nourishing ingredients at home, right? His father knew everything, but he was still pretending to be stupid.

Qin Xiaofang felt a little embarrassed. "Sister-in-law and brother-in-law, you are too polite. I feel embarrassed when you are being so polite."

Hua Min smiled and said, "You're welcome, we're all family. Thank you for your hard work in helping us take care of Yilan."

Su Yan said, "The turtle meat has been stewed for a long time. You can take out the turtle and eat it first. We will add the deer meat later. Everyone, please feel free to eat the vegetables first."

Just as everyone sat down, Lu Jin and Lu Yu also arrived. Fortunately, the table in Lu Ting's house was a large round table, which could easily accommodate nine adults and one child.

As for little Yilan, she has now been put into Lu Yiming's small cradle.

Lu Ting looked at the stir-fried shredded eel and pan-fried loach on the table and asked Su Yan, "Did you buy these two dishes at the market?"

"Yes, I bought it at the market. I also bought a chicken."

Su Yan used the pheasant they caught yesterday to make spicy diced chicken and a hot and sour konjac dish. There were four dishes in total: a muntjac turtle hotpot and a sieve of mixed vegetables and mushrooms.

Lu Ting filled half a bowl of soup and set it aside to cool, then picked up two pieces of turtle skirt and placed them in Lu Yiming's small enamel bowl.
