When the two returned home, it was still not dark. Lu Chuan continued planting the sweet potatoes he hadn't finished planting the day before, while Xu Han began preparing dinner.

Take out fresh chili peppers from the space and wash them clean. Then cut the mutton into thin strips, preparing to make stir-fried mutton with chili peppers.

Heat oil in a wok, quickly stir-fry the mutton, then add chili threads, salt, and various seasonings, and quickly remove from heat.

Unfortunately, there weren't many chilies in the refrigerator, only enough to stir-fry a small portion, which was obviously not enough for two people. So, I took out a portion of roast chicken from the storage space to see if it was good!

Then stir-fry some garlic-flavored romaine lettuce and make an egg and seaweed soup.

After preparing dinner, I went out to call Lu Chuan to come back for dinner!

During the meal, Lu Chuan said, "You like to eat beef and mutton. I'll go to the mountains in a while and see if I can hunt some sheep."

I've encountered herds of cattle before when I was hunting, but they were too far from here for me to bring back by myself, so I've never hunted them.

"When we hunt in the fall and earn some money, I'll buy you a cow and save it up to eat slowly!"

Xu Han's eyes lit up immediately when she heard about the herd of cattle. She said, "We didn't hunt before because we couldn't bring them back, but now I have a spatial ability, so I can put them in my space!"

“No, it’s too dangerous in the deep mountains, you can’t go!” Lu Chuan refused.

"It's okay, as long as I can touch the cow, I can put it into my spatial storage. We can give it a try!"

After all, beef is still quite expensive in modern times, so she can't buy a lot. Besides, Xu Han wants to make some beef jerky herself to store for later consumption!

In modern times, Xu Han especially liked to eat beef jerky, but beef jerky was very expensive, and she didn't even know if the beef jerky she bought was real.

So I've always wanted to try making it myself, but unfortunately my wallet doesn't allow me to buy a lot of beef at once, so I haven't taken any action yet!

Now, wouldn't you be excited to hear that you can get beef without spending any money?

But Lu Chuan still disagreed, saying, "The cattle herd is far from here and will need to spend several nights outside before returning. Besides, it's too dangerous in the deep mountains; you can't go."

"If I encounter danger, I can hide inside my spatial dimension. I won't get hurt. Please try it! Okay?" Xu Han shook Lu Chuan's arm, using her ultimate move, and coaxed Lu Chuan.

Seeing Xu Han acting coquettishly, Lu Chuan was helpless. He knew that with Xu Han's temper, she would definitely not give up until she achieved her goal.

I couldn't help but blame myself for not being able to hold back and mentioning the cattle!

"Never mind, I'll still take her to see it later! Otherwise, Xu Han will keep nagging about it." So he said.

"Let's wait a while! I'll take you to see it then!"

Hearing Lu Chuan say that, Xu Han was overjoyed. She cupped Lu Chuan's head in her hands and kissed him on the lips. Just as she was about to leave, Lu Chuan pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately…

Because the doctor had previously said that Xu Han's body was not currently suitable for pregnancy, the two of them did not have sexual relations!

But Lu Chuan was in the prime of his life, how could he resist? Xu Han wasn't really sixteen after all, and she understood relationships between men and women to some extent! She also knew Lu Chuan's concerns.

So he cautiously began, "Actually, I have a way to prevent myself from getting pregnant."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes. Seeing Lu Chuan's expression, Xu Han continued, "There are condoms in the space."

This was a free gift when I bought something a while ago. I've never had a chance to use it, and I can't really give it away as a gift, so it's just been sitting at home...

Upon hearing Xu Han's words, Lu Chuan asked uncertainly, "Is it true?"

Seeing Xu Han nod shyly, his smile widened!

That night was unusually long...

The next day, when Xu Han woke up, she found that the sun was already high in the sky. She rubbed her sore back and couldn't help but curse, "He's a beast!"

After lying in bed for a long time, I finally got dressed and left the room. Seeing the chicken soup simmering in the pot, a smile involuntarily appeared on my face. At least this scoundrel has a conscience.

After finishing the chicken soup and eating an egg, he left the yard and came to the wasteland, where he saw Lu Chuan clearing weeds.

I walked over, and even though we slept together, he looked perfectly fine, even energetic!

She rolled her eyes at Lu Chuan, who quickly asked solicitously, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer? I made you some chicken soup, did you drink it?"

"I've had some! I want to go dig for bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest! I won't be back by noon!"

"No, I don't trust you to go by yourself! I'll go with you after I've settled these things!"

"It's alright. I'll take Blackwind and Blackspot with me. We won't go far. There aren't any large animals around here. Besides, I've been there several times before. I know the way, so we won't get lost."

"I can't be of much help in clearing the land, and staying here is just a waste of time. We might as well split up and do our own work!" Xu Han patiently advised.

"Alright then! Let's skip it today. The bamboo shoots probably haven't grown very big yet. Let's go check on them tomorrow! Get some rest today!"

Xu Han thought about it and agreed. Only two days had passed since she last visited, so the land shouldn't be too big yet. She replied, "Alright then! I'll go again tomorrow. You can clear the land yourself! I'm going home now."

After saying that, he left without looking back. Lu Chuan smiled to himself and didn't say anything.

After returning home, Xu Han had nothing to do, so she continued making shoes!

When lunchtime arrived, Xu Han went to the kitchen. She thought for a moment but didn't know what to cook. There were really no ingredients. The refrigerator didn't have many kinds of vegetables, and the portions were small, not enough for two people!

My eyes fell on the potato noodles in the refrigerator. Why don't we cook some potato noodles? Lu Chuan has never had them before!

Xu Han took out a bag of kelp strips from the refrigerator, soaked them in water, then took out some hot pot meatballs, the last few enoki mushrooms, and all the green vegetables in the refrigerator.

I put all sorts of ingredients together into the potato noodles to cook, and it made quite a lot. I'll add extra vinegar later; it'll be sour and spicy, and especially delicious!

Thinking that Lu Chuan must not be full from eating only potato noodles, he took out some white flour and planned to make a leavened pancake.

First, mix the dough into a yogurt-like batter, add yeast powder, and let it ferment until it doubles in size.

Then he called Lu Chuan in to help him heat the pot so he could make pancakes!

Grease your hands with a little oil to prevent sticking, pinch off a fist-sized piece of dough, press it down, and fry it in a pan until both sides are golden brown.

I made a lot of noodles this time, so I made extra and put them in my storage space. I can just take them out whenever I want to eat them!

You can also add some chopped green onions to make scallion pancakes, but the shallots we grow at home are still very small and can't be eaten yet! There aren't any suitable vegetables to make pies either.

So I didn't add anything this time, but it still tasted great, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
