Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

Lu Jueyu looked around and when she saw no one, she collected the berry bushes. When a wild berries bush enters her space, it's registered as a seed in her store, and the shrub is planted in the field. As for the ripened fruits, they are harvested and stored in the warehouse.

Along the way, she collected several fruit trees. She even found some trees that produced edible nuts and seeds. While she was excited by her discovery, she couldn't help but marvel at the author's randomness. She found mushrooms and trees that couldn't grow in winter, but they thrived.

The farther she went into the mountains, the more food she found. She found not only fruits and mushrooms, but even vegetables and staple foods. As she collected these things, she kept drawing a map of the mountain in her mind. She also wanted to use bamboo water pipes to get mountain spring water for Li Chenmo.

Three hours later, she left the mountain and returned home. When she walked into the front yard, she saw that her brothers had already cleaned up the bamboo. Looking at the bamboo pole, she was satisfied. The diameter of the stem is about fifteen centimeters, which is enough for water to flow smoothly.

Seeing Lu Jueyu come back, Lu Han said, "Jueyu, we have cleaned up the leaves. Now we can start making water pipes."

"Okay, I'll put the jar and basket in the kitchen first." Lu Jueyu said as she walked towards the kitchen.

When she came back, she brought some charcoal. She marked the bamboo with it and told her brother to cut it according to her markings. Instead of splitting the bamboo in half, she made a hole in the bamboo and cleared the bamboo inside the segment part. In this way, the bamboo can be used as a water pipe. Before going to the mountain spring site, they prepared 40 bamboo water pipes.

Her brothers are so strong that they can hold ten bamboos at once. And her task is to take the hemp rope. When they reached the mountain spring, they used a short piece of bamboo to guide the mountain spring water into the bamboo tube. Afterwards, they used some logs as poles and tied it to the bamboo to hold it in place.

They connected the bamboo one by one until they reached the backyard of Lu's house. A small hole has been dug in the backyard, and river stones have been pasted on the wall to form a small pond. When the last bamboo is tied up, water gushes out from the bamboo and fills the pond in an instant. Excess water flows to the canal that connects to the vegetable fields and the river near their home.

With this design, they don't have to worry about the backyard being flooded, and they don't need to water the vegetable patch anymore. After thinking about it, Lu Jueyu used smaller bamboos to divide the water. Smaller bamboo is attached to the water tank in the backyard. This way, they don't need to manually fill the tank.

When they were done, the sky began to darken. Lu Jueyu looked at her brothers and asked, "Brother, can you help me open another waterway for Brother Chenmo's house?"

Lu Han and Lu Cheng thought about it and nodded. After all, their sister would marry that guy and live there.

"Well, we already know how to build it. So, you don't need to worry about us. Go and have a rest." Lu Cheng said, and drove her away.

"Thank you, brother," she said with a smile.

"We are all a family, there is no need to be so polite." Lu Han said with a sigh.

"Then I'll make you a delicious dinner."

Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to boil water for her brothers. When the water boiled, she went back to her room. After locking the room, she entered her space and took a hot shower. She soaked in the bathtub for a while before finished her shower.

After taking a shower, she went to get the ingredients for dinner. When she walked into the warehouse, she was a little surprised to see so many new ingredients appearing in it. After she took a closer look, these new things were actually those plants she collected this morning. There's even natural honey that she stumbled upon unexpectedly.

The more ingredients, the more menus she can make. Thinking of the hard work of her brothers, she took two kilograms of meat, one kilogram of white rice, some vegetables, and twenty eggs before leaving her space. Under normal circumstances, one kilogram of raw rice can feed 20 adults.

But people in this era have a bigger appetite than modern people. So she decided to cook one kilogram of rice, which should be enough for her family, Li Chenmo and his father to eat.

When she arrived at the kitchen, she saw Mother Lu scooping up some coarse grains from the rice jar. Their family eats mostly coarse grains and saves some white rice for special occasions. The remaining rice will be sold to state-run supply stores or exchanged for other supplies with the villagers. While their family earns a lot of work points, they also consume a lot of food. If they only eat white rice, there will not be enough food until the next harvest.

Lu Jueyu looked at the almost empty jar and said, "Mother, let me cook. You should rest, or your rheumatism will get worse."

When Mother Lu heard her daughter's concern, she smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

After Mother Lu left the kitchen, Lu Jueyu poured the coarse grains back into the jar and started making dinner. After washing the rice, she steams it with pandan leaves. With pandan leaves, the steamed rice becomes more fragrant.

While steaming rice, she made braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and egg drop soup. About an hour later, the dinner was ready.
