Chapter 40: Chapter 40 How to Deliver the Goods

Don’t look down on people like that.

Lu Yun glared at Lu Aiguo, unconvinced, “Dad, I can tell the difference between salt and sugar.”

It was soone else who in a past life frequently mixed up salt and sugar, not only that but also scorched the pot, served undercooked food… even simple rice couldn’t be cooked right, with either too much or too little water. Turning perfectly good ingredients into sothing akin to dark cuisine, which forced her to swallow the als without protest, putting on a brave face and choking it down.

It was not until one ti when she found an opportunity to show off her cooking skills, that the responsibility for cooking finally fell upon her, and they were able to have normal als at last—just thinking about it brought tears to her eyes!

But those days ultimately beca fond mories, so of the few precious tis in her life.

“Alright, alright, you can tell the difference, it’s Dad who can’t tell, okay?”

Seeing his daughter puffed up with anger, Lu Aiguo broke into a cold sweat and quickly began to coax her gently. Goodness, his wife and daughter were both his ancestors, not ones he could afford to provoke.

“That’s right.”

Lu Yun muttered under her breath, unable to suppress a secret chuckle. Shitou, sitting beside her, probably having had his own experience with Lu Aiguo’s dark cuisine, glanced in her direction upon hearing her, and revealed a knowing smile, his expression filled with a touch of commiseration.

“Pfft, cough cough cough…”

Xia Yuan was not unaware of Lu Aiguo’s shady past, and when she looked up and saw the interaction between Shitou and Lu Yun, she burst out laughing. Then, feeling halfway through that she needed to save face for Lu Aiguo in public, she forcibly turned her laugh into a cough to cover it up.

Lu Aiguo’s face turned red, then darkened, and finally he looked awkwardly at his wife’s thinly veiled efforts. He bowed his head, transforming his grief into appetite, and launched a fierce attack on the dumplings before him.

The other three quickly exchanged glances, each catching the mirth in the other’s eyes, and they too lowered their heads and began to eat, hiding their snickers.

After the al, Lu Yun dragged the others into the courtyard, closed the doors, and suddenly displayed a whole pile of stuff, including bottled cooking oil of different sizes, assorted processed chicken, duck, fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, rice, flour, various vermicelli, dried noodles, quick-cooking noodles, and also cured at, salted ham, boxes of sausage, at cans, fruit cans, soft candy, hard candy…

The place was packed full, and it was all edible, almost filling up the entire open space in the courtyard.

“Why is there so much?”

Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan instinctively covered their mouths, looking around, clearly shocked. It seed that the contents of their daughter’s stockpile were much more than they had imagined, weren’t they?

“Actually, this is just a tiny bit,” Lu Yun drew a big circle in the air, then pinched her fingertips together to show them, “Besides food, there are other things, clothes, pants, blankets, shoes… basically, everything.”

Lu Aiguo squatted down and casually picked up a few cans of at to look at. The labels on the tin cans bore simple nas like braised pork, pork with pickled vegetables, pork feet in sauce, tuna, luncheon at…

In fact, most of the food packaged here had such simple labels because these were made in the factory owned by her family’s conglorate in her past life, specially customized for her.

Not only could the quality of ingredients used be guaranteed to be the best, but there were also no added fragrances, no colorants, and no preservatives. So, the only slight downside was that these products did not have the sa long shelf life as those of similar products sold in supermarkets outside.

“Dad, these canned ats can only be left outside for a maximum of seven days, any longer and they’ll spoil,” Lu Yun felt it was still necessary to make things clear, to prevent good intentions from leading to bad outcos. In fact, she had specifically tested the at cans in the sumr temperature for seven days.

“Is that so, then hurry and put things away, with this blazing sun, don’t spoil the goods,” Lu Aiguo looked up at the bright midday sun shining on the food and imdiately felt distressed, urging Lu Yun to act quickly.

Xia Yuan nodded in agreent, nervously glancing at the door, afraid soone might knock, “Hurry and put them away, let’s go inside to talk where it’s safer.”

“Alright.” After all, putting the things away would take only a mont.

Xia Yuan clearly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the ground’s contents disappear in an instant, but the visual impact was still quite significant to her. She patted Lu Yun, “That scared

to death, don’t do that again. What if soone had been peering over the wall?”

Lu Aiguo and Shitou nodded, both looking disapprovingly at Lu Yun. In fact, not only Xia Yuan felt the impact was great, but even the two of them, who often went out to face the world, found the disappearance and appearance of such “large-scale” goods to be stimulating and exciting at first sight.

“Mom, Dad, Shitou, don’t worry, I’ll be careful,” Lu Yun obediently promised, thinking to herself, who would foolishly peer over soone’s wall in the scorching sun? Moreover, she couldn’t miss anyone within ten ters with her spiritual power, could she?

Seeing that there was indeed a lot of stuff in Lu Yun’s warehouse, Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan finally cast aside their concerns and started discussing what to give to the different families. Lu Yun also chattered incessantly with her suggestions, sotis pulling Shitou to agree with her.

In the end, the result of the discussion among the four was to give so to the older uncle’s family even though they had decided not to give as much to the second uncle’s family. Naturally, there was still a bit of a gap in the quantity.

To the older uncle’s family, they gave a three-kg bottle of oil, three kilograms of white sugar, twenty kilograms of dried noodles, ten kilograms of flour, and ten kilograms of cured at, along with two cans of braised pork.

The gifts for the second uncle were more generous because they had always been closer. Moreover, tomorrow, the older and second sisters would be bringing their families back to their parents’ ho for a al, so Lu Aiguo also wanted to give them sothing to boast about.

Even though he had often bickered with the second sister since they were kids, for so reason, he just couldn’t get angry with her and would unconsciously indulge her. Sotis he even felt like he could sense her emotions, which seed a bit supernatural. Thus, he could understand the feelings of imbalance in his second cousin’s heart.

Indeed, if one’s own mother doted on soone else’s child more, putting one’s own needs last, he certainly would be upset too.

However, he dared not ntion these feelings to anyone, not even his wife. Although they were cousins, if he told his wife about his “telepathic” connection with his cousin, what if she got jealous? Wouldn’t he be asking for trouble? And such talk wouldn’t look good if it got around.

The items prepared for the second uncle’s family included five liters of oil, three kilograms of white sugar, three kilograms of brown sugar, twenty kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of dried noodles, twenty kilograms of flour, twenty kilograms of cured at, an entire leg of ham, four cans of braised pork, four cans of pigs’ feet, four cans of kohlrabi pork belly, two bottles of Maotai, two bottles of erguotou, two bottles of wine, and a large bag of various pastries and candies all sorted out.

The oil and the ham were taken out and carried by hand, while the rest of the items were just about stuffed into a large basket.

Lu Aiguo was still sowhat unsatisfied, “Though it seems like a lot, if it’s shared with my older and second sisters’ families, there won’t be much left. We have to prepare another portion for them, but what should we do if it won’t fit?”

“Let’s ask Mom to go with us,” Lu Yun suggested. With an extra person carrying things, couldn’t they take more?

“Right, wife, you should go too. Let’s prepare one more portion for each of my older and second sisters’ families, just like we did for the older uncle’s, but a little less,” Lu Aiguo looked at Xia Yuan hopefully. Xia Yuan nodded.
