Chapter 296: Chapter 286: Enthusiasm

Lu Yun handed each person a large packet containing beef jerky, pork jerky, biscuits, and candied fruit snacks. The amount was several times more than what had been given to the staff that afternoon.

"Tomorrow, you should also take some of the rice, various green vegetables, and meat and keep them in your own dormitories, so in case there are visitors at home, it doesn’t look like you’re not prepared for daily life. Even when Shitou is at home, if you don’t come up to cook, how are you supposed to light the fire and cook without any food stored in the house?"

"You can take any of the food here, and in the future, if you want to eat or use something, as long as it’s not in mine and Shitou’s bedroom and it’s not our personal belongings, you can take whatever you want without asking and no need to be polite."

Lu Yun didn’t believe Shitou would rashly appear when she was around, so such instructions were not superfluous. She was not a stingy person by nature, in her past life she was generous and understanding towards those around her, demanding when necessary, but also unequivocally supportive and generous when needed.

That’s why, even though she was aloof by nature, the staff that worked with her for a longer time came to realize that she had a cool exterior but a warm heart and began to care for her genuinely, more than just out of obligation.

Strangely enough, despite all she had been through in her last life, she still held a firm belief in the inherent goodness of the world, despite its evil aspects.

Even when she hated the Su Family to the point where she wanted to finish them off with her own hands, she still didn’t want to truly sully her own hands, fearing that it wouldn’t be something her mother would like to see.

In this life, she had truly let go of her grudge against the Su Family.

Watching them from afar, seeing her thrive without them being able to touch a thing, enduring torment day by day, was far more satisfying than ending their lives in a fleeting moment of pain.

"Mmm, I like this," Wen Shan said eagerly as she immediately took a piece of beef jerky to chew on.

"Don’t just think about eating for yourself, don’t forget to share some with Zhuang Jun. If you run out, just come and get more, it’s all stored in the kitchen," Lu Yun reminded with a smile.

"Got it," Wen Shan nodded, and Su Xiuling also nodded her agreement.

"This is very important, when I’m in my bedroom, if I don’t come out actively, even if I’m behind closed doors for several days, do not knock on the door or enter directly. I’ll have food stocked inside the bedroom, so I won’t starve. If there’s an emergency and you need to find me, remember, you can only ask Shitou to call for me."

Lu Yun spoke with grave seriousness, "I don’t know if the notice you received includes this rule at home, but I still have to stress it again, this applies not only in the research institute but also at home."

"We will do it," they said.

Seeing how earnest Lu Yun was, the two of them dared not be careless and solemnly made the promise.

Lu Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Back in her bedroom, she decided to be cautious and set a spiritual power imprint on the door just to be safe. No matter who it was, no matter how skilled they were at picking locks, they could not get in. The spiritual power imprint could only be removed by someone with a higher spiritual power level than hers, like Shitou for instance.

Thinking of Shitou made Lu Yun’s heart sweeten.

As usual, after entering the space and staying in the study, Lu Yun glanced casually at what Mu Pei was doing and to her surprise, she found that he had already started teaching his 10,000+ talented clanspeople in the Pharmacist Training Room.

Sweat.

Do they really have to go all out like this?

Lu Yun subconsciously mimicked Wen Shan’s earlier gesture, wiping non-existent sweat from her forehead, before bursting into laughter. There weren’t any spectators here, so why had she started imitating Wen Shan?

Seeing the Plant Clan people working so hard, Lu Yun felt she had to put in an effort as well, so with a thought, she headed to the Alchemy Room.

Once you get the hang of alchemy, you just can’t stop.

At nine o’clock in the morning, Lu Yun emerged from her bedroom yawning and lacking energy, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, and then came out to find a bowl of porridge, a plate of vinegar-soaked Chinese cabbage, soy sauce beef, and a boiled egg with a small dish of soy sauce waiting for her on the table.

Except for the soy sauce, the other dishes were all still warm.

"This cabbage is really tasty. Did you make it?"

Lu Yun sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of the vinegar-soaked Chinese cabbage, expressing her satisfaction. She glanced at Wen Shan and noticed she was the only one left.

"It’s alright. I took a cooking class in winter; practicing with cabbage was common, and I learned to make over a dozen variations with just one cabbage," replied Wen Shan with a laugh, finding it amusing herself.

"Haha, cabbage is actually a good thing. There’s a saying, ’nothing’s better than cabbage’, and I quite like it. You can eat a lot without getting sick of it," laughed Lu Yun. In the evening, when Shitou returns and no one has night duty, she planned to replace all the vegetables at home with those from the space. Now the space’s effect on plant growth was even more potent, and vegetables left in there for a while came out tasting better.

"Glad you like it. You’ll have plenty of chances to try those dozen or so cabbage dishes I know," Wen Shan said, laughing and urging her to eat. "Hurry up and eat. I’ve been keeping it warm in the pot. It might have tasted even better if it had just come out of the pot."

"This morning, I need to catch up on sleep. Aren’t we having braised pork today? I think we might as well get lunch from the cafeteria too. Hmm, do you know how to knead dough? With so much meat, we could spend the afternoon making more dumplings. Wouldn’t it be convenient to just steam a few for breakfast from now on?

Plus, with Shitou, Zhan Hongtao, Zhuang Jun, and the others leaving early in the morning, a fuller stomach will help them endure the hunger during training," said Lu Yun as she peeled the eggshell and dipped the whole egg into the soy sauce dish. Soy sauce dipped eggs were delicious, but of course, that depended on the quality of the soy sauce.

"No problem, I’ll knead the dough in a bit. We can make extra for buns; making meat buns isn’t hard. If there’s leftover dough, we can make steamed buns. But let’s chop the meat and cabbage in the afternoon to avoid waking you up," Wen Shan said, revealing her own foodie nature, her eyes shining at the thought of tasty treats, causing Lu Yun to chuckle endlessly.

At lunchtime, Lu Yun saw that there was indeed a big lunchbox full of braised pork on the table.

"We’re lucky today, thanks to Xiaoyun. As soon as Zhou Han and Yang Xinwen saw me, they both scrambled to serve me food. Look at this full lunchbox—they even complained my lunchbox was too small and almost used their big bowls to pack it for me. I had to refuse quickly," said Wen Shan, gleefully sharing her enthusiastic experience at the cafeteria with Lu Yun and Su Qiaoling.

"You should have seen how warmly the cafeteria staff treated me, from top to bottom. They even asked about you, saying the jerky you gave them yesterday was delicious. Zhou Han and Yang Xinwen were so aggrieved, they were practically gnashing their teeth.

They said that as soon as they took out the jerky back home and began explaining where it came from, they nearly saw it disappear before their eyes. Fortunately, they lunged in time and managed to grab a piece each. Otherwise, they might have missed out," Wen Shan recounted their ordeal.
