Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

Meng Tong then stored all the cotton in his space and casually infused the bare cotton stalks with some special abilities, which would extend their harvesting years.

Normal cotton can be harvested for about two years, but with superpowers, Meng Tong felt it would take at least five years or even longer.

It only took Meng Tong about an hour and a half to harvest all the rice and cotton, a speed that was simply incredible.

"My lady, shall we go take a look at the herb garden?"

As they walked back along the stone path, Lu Chuan turned to Meng Tong and asked her a question.

It had been about seven or eight days since he last visited the herb garden. Upon hearing Lu Chuan's question, Meng Tong decisively turned and walked towards the herb garden, with Lu Chuan diligently following behind.

The morning sun was not harsh, and the temperature in the valley was just right. As Meng Tong walked towards the herb garden, he saw several beautiful butterflies and even bees along the way.

It's the season when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom; flowers of various colors are blooming on the cliffs and in the corners of the valley.

Of course, they can also be found in the medicinal herb garden.

Standing on the path beside the herb garden, Meng Tong glanced around and observed that the herbs were growing very well, but perhaps due to over-nutrition or something else, some weeds and wildflowers had grown.

Without saying a word, Meng Tong activated his supernatural abilities and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had pulled out all the weeds and wildflowers inside.

Lu Chuan, who squatted by the ground and pulled them out by hand, was already used to it.

Clapping his hands and tossing away the weeds he was holding, Lu Chuan looked at Meng Tong with a calm expression, "My wife is really amazing."

She single-handedly achieved true agricultural integration.

Meng Tong gladly accepted Lu Chuan's praise, and with a smile on her lips, she took another stroll around the orchard before the two of them leisurely returned to the courtyard.

Meng Tong went back to her room to change her clothes, while Lu Chuan washed his hands and went into the kitchen to cook lunch.

Just then, little Lu Yan came in.

"Father, can Yan'er learn to cook from you?"

Are you sure you want to learn?

Lu Chuan was sharpening his knife when he heard Lu Yan's words and looked up to ask her.

Lu Chuan had previously thought the little girl was just joking, and hadn't paid much attention, but now it seemed she really wanted to learn.

Lu Chuan didn't have any preference for sons over daughters; he just didn't want his daughter to suffer.

Lu Yan didn't care about any of that. The little girl looked at Lu Chuan with her bright eyes and nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.

"Father, Yan'er is serious. I think cooking brings me joy."

"Yan'er also wants to cook delicious dishes so that her mother and father can praise her."

"Then... Father will teach you."

Lu Chuan raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head, smiling as he spoke.

Seeing how genuinely she liked it, Lu Chuan couldn't refuse. Everyone has things they like or are interested in, and he shouldn't take that away from them.

Otherwise, he would be no different from Old Man Lu.

With Lu Chuan's permission, Lu Yan was overjoyed, her whole body radiating excitement.

However, Lu Chuan did not immediately ask her to do it; he simply instructed her to watch and listen to his explanation first.

In the kitchen, Lu Chuan's deep, patient voice could be heard from time to time, while in the courtyard, Meng Tong was telling Lu He about what she had seen in the herb garden that morning.

The two daughters stumbled upon things that interested them.

……

noon.

After finishing his meal, Lu Chuan tidied up the living room and then carried the three wooden basins from the corner to the kitchen.

The two sisters had already gone back to their room for a nap, leaving only Meng Tong and Lu Chuan in the kitchen, along with the little wolf that occasionally darted in for a stroll.

After cleaning the pot in the kitchen and filling it with water, Lu Chuan poured the soaked wheat from the basin into the pot, while Meng Tong sat at the stove and was responsible for adding firewood.

What's the next step after cooking the wheat?

Watching Lu Chuan stir the wheat in the pot with a wooden spatula, Meng Tong looked up and asked.

"The next step is to take out the cooked wheat and let it cool, then put it in a vat with yeast for saccharification and fermentation."

"So simple?"

"Of course not," Lu Chuan replied with a low laugh. "These are just preparatory steps. After saccharification and fermentation, we'll still need to distill the liquor using the still you brought out a few days ago!"

"So this thing is a distillation apparatus."

Meng Tong glanced at the bronze cylindrical object beside her, thinking it was a steamer when she took it out!

I didn't expect making wine to be so complicated.

She was being presumptuous, thinking that adding some yeast would be enough.

After chatting in the kitchen for about an hour, the wheat in the pot was finally cooked.

To determine if it's fully ripe, check if it has flowered. If it has flowered, then it's fully ripe.

After turning off the pot on the stove, Lu Chuan used a copper ladle to scoop out the cooked wheat and put it into the wooden basin that had just been washed.

Meng Tong sat to the side and used a small spoon to spread out the pile of wheat.

After everything was done, Lu Chuan lifted the wooden basin and placed it under the eaves of the yard to cool. Then he went to the living room and brought out the vat that had been washed and placed there the day before.

These were all plundered by Meng Tong; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to have whatever he wanted.

Lu Chuan placed the vat in a corner of the yard and waited for the wheat to cool down to about 27 degrees Celsius.

Next, add the yeast and stir well.

Meng Tong watched the whole process from the side; the procedure was indeed quite complicated.

Finally, the wheat with yeast added to the wooden basin is put into a vat for saccharification and fermentation, which takes about three to five days.

While Lu Chuan was busy, Meng Tong went to the kitchen to get a knife and a cutting board.

Since she couldn't be of much help anyway, she cut him some watermelon and his favorite fruits and left them for him to eat after he finished cooking.

Sitting on a chair under the eaves, Meng Tong was cutting a watermelon.

Lu He and Lu Yan, who had already woken up from their afternoon nap, also came over, each taking a piece to eat, and then ran off to watch Lu Chuan busy himself.

"Ow~"

Meng Tong felt her dress being ripped and looked down.

Okay! It wants to eat too.

Meng Tong took a piece of watermelon from the cut slices and placed it in front of the little wolf. He bent down, stroked its newly grown fur, and said with a smile, "You'd better behave after you eat this! Otherwise, you won't get any more later."

"Ow~"

obedient.

The little wolf tilted its head back and let out a "howl," then continued eating watermelon, its little ears twitching adorably.

……

Half an hour later, Lu Chuan finally put all the wheat into the fermentation vat, waiting for it to ferment.

After washing the wooden basin and putting it back in the kitchen, Lu Chuan was wiping away sweat with his head down!

Lu Yan happily ran over with a slice of watermelon.

"Daddy, have some watermelon."

"Thank you, girl."

After rinsing his hands, Lu Chuan took the watermelon and took a bite, which immediately cooled him down.

As she ate, she walked towards Meng Tong. Bathed in sunlight and with her hair still damp from the water, Meng Tong felt her heart beat faster.

She's quite sexy.

"My wife, why is your face red?"

"Huh? Um... it's a bit hot."

With an awkward cough, Meng Tong lowered her eyes and handed a slice of watermelon to the man standing beside her.

"My wife, are you really alright?"

"It's okay."
