After everyone in the house was seated, Lu Ting quickly closed the door. It was not because he was afraid that there would not be enough space for more guests, but because he was worried that the luxurious food and fish at home would be seen by others and would have a bad impact.

Lu Ting knew that his father-in-law would come, so he specially went out to buy two bottles of good wine. This was Su Qingshan's first time visiting his daughter's house, so he also brought two bottles of good wine from his family collection.

Lu Fengnian and his son Lu Ting, plus Su Qingshan, Su Ze and his son Su Lang, all know how to drink. There are five people drinking today, so Lu Ting prepared five white wine glasses.

Seeing that there were only five wine glasses on the table, Lu Fengnian ordered, "Lu Ting, go get another glass for Lu Jin. Comrade Su Lang knows how to drink, so Jin'er should learn from him."

In Lu Fengnian's eyes, a man who can't drink is not a manly person.

Lu Ting stood up and took another wine glass. He opened a bottle of white wine and filled each glass. As soon as he sat down after pouring the wine, he was kicked hard in the calf.

You bastard, you promised her last time that you wouldn't drink today, but you brought such a big white wine glass and filled it so full. Is he planning to get drunk?

Su Yan smiled gently at Lu Ting, "Lu Ting, you still have to work this afternoon, so you don't need to fill the glass so full, right?"

Lu Ting looked at his sweet wife who was staring at him, and suddenly remembered that he had promised her last time that he would not drink today. It was a rare occasion for his father-in-law and his family to come, so how could he not have a drink with them?

"It's a rare occasion that we're all gathered together today, so one cup per person is not too much."

"Yan Yan, Dad brought some hangover-relief tea today. Make a cup later and drink it before going to work. I guarantee you'll be refreshed this afternoon."

"My in-laws are right. Let's have a couple more drinks later."

Su Yan looked at her mother-in-law and then at her mother, and found that they had no reaction at all. So she just let them be.

Lu Yu picked up a piece of braised pig's trotter and ate it in big mouthfuls. "This pig's trotter is soft and sticky and delicious. My sister-in-law's cooking is even better than my mother's."

Su Yan was embarrassed. This braised pork trotter was taken from the canteen banquet in the space. In her previous life, the professional chef cooked for her workers. How could the food made by a chef not be delicious?

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Su Yan took the initiative to pick up a piece of braised pig's trotter for the youngest Lu Yu.

"The boiled fish my wife makes is also very authentic."

Lu Ting moved his bowl towards Su Yan. Su Yan didn't understand what he meant at first, but then she realized that everyone was looking at them.

It turns out that this bastard Lu Ting wanted her to help him pick up the food! Why is this man becoming more and more childish?

Seeing that they were drinking, Su Yan took the initiative to take a pair of serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork and a piece of braised pig's trotter for each of the elders.

Lu Ting liked eating fish as much as she did, so she picked up a small half bowl of fish fillets for him and then quietly drank her old hen soup.

Because several men wanted to drink, the meal lasted for an hour and a half.

After dinner, Jiang Lingling pulled Hua Min to sit on the sofa and chatted for a while. Lu Chen and Lu Yu had to go to school tomorrow and were in a hurry to return to the city, so they put down their bowls and chopsticks after eating.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Su Yan hurriedly handed them a large bag of apples that her mother had brought, and also took out ten boiled salted duck eggs and a can of cold-mixed platycodon.

"Xiaochen, Xiaoyu, take these to school to eat."

Lu Chen and Lu Yu looked at their mother sitting on the sofa. Hua Min saw that her son was a little moved and said, "These apples are given by Auntie to your sister-in-law to nourish her body. Just take one each."

Yanyan gave the family a big basket of apples, but there were only a dozen apples in this bag. The two boys only had to give a few to each of them and they were gone.

"Mother-in-law, you don't have to leave these for Yanyan. We brought two bags of apples here today, and one was originally meant for you. Xiaochen and Xiaoyu are still growing, so you can let them take a few apples back to school to eat."

Su Yan also echoed, "Mother-in-law, my mother is right. Xiaoyu and Xiaochen are in the growth period. At their age, they need to eat well so that they can grow taller."

Su Yan heard Lu Fengnian mention before that Xiaochen also wanted to enter a military academy and become an officer like his older brother Lu Ting, and Xiaoyu wanted to enter the Air Force Academy and become a pilot.

It was actually very difficult to get into a military academy, but fortunately these two studied very hard. However, it was less than five years before the Great Movement, and Lu Yu was only in the first grade of junior high school, and Lu Chen was in the second.

Su Yan was actually a little worried about them. Lu Chen wouldn't start high school until next September. Even if both brothers took the college entrance exam and got into their ideal university, what would happen if they only studied for two or three years and then classes were suspended, preventing them from graduating?

Other universities will definitely suspend classes, but I wonder if military academies will suspend classes? Maybe not?

Hua Min heard Su Yan say this, so she smiled and said, "Why don't you two thank your sister-in-law?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lu Chen and Lu Jin took the pile of things and left. Jiang Lingling chatted with Hua Min for a few words, and while she went to drink some water, she pulled Su Yan back to the room.

"Yan Yan, your dad went to see Uncle Qian and Uncle Sun who deal in medicinal herbs the day before yesterday and showed them the herbs you brought back. They want to work together to sell a batch of herbs to the central region.

They wanted five thousand catties of each of ephedra, astragalus, poria, motherwort, platycodon, salvia miltiorrhiza, liquorice, oriental Chinese medicine, and atractylodes macrocephala. They also wanted as many polygonatum and gastrodia as they could get.

It's just that the price they paid for the herbs was 40% lower than the retail price, but your father raised it to 30% lower than the retail price."

The difference between wholesale and retail prices was 30%, which was still reasonable. After all, shipping the herbs required considerable manpower and resources, and involved significant risks, especially since they were a joint venture.

Su Yan asked, "Don't they want honeysuckle? There are so many of them, where can we trade them? Where should we hide them in advance?"

"There's an abandoned air-raid shelter thirty miles away. Your father agreed to trade there. But it won't be until midnight. You and your father should bring the medicine and wine back in advance. Your eldest brother will be there after get off work."

"Big brother is going too? Did Dad tell Big brother about me?"

"No, your dad said he was acting as a middleman for a friend and was getting some money for his work. Your eldest brother agreed because he saw there was money to be made, and he was also afraid that your dad would be cheated, so he was willing to keep an eye on him."

"Then when should I go over?"

"Next Wednesday."

There are many kinds of medicinal herbs needed this time, and three days are enough for them to prepare them.

"Mom, remember to tell Dad that we want to recycle the sacks that contain the herbs."

Although her space has 20,000 to 30,000 sacks and 100,000 woven bags, which sounds like a lot, if a few hundred bags are missing for every batch of medicinal materials sold, these bags will be used up one day.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell him."

When Jiang Lingling left, Su Yan gave her one of the two chickens that her mother-in-law had brought over, and also gave her twenty eggs.

When her mother-in-law left, Su Yan asked her to ask them to come over for dinner in the evening, and she also gave her mother-in-law a bag of rice and flour that her mother had brought.
