Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: New Year’s Eve Dinner ( 2 )
Because it was New Year’s Eve dinner, Lu Jueyu used ceramic plates and arranged the dishes beautifully. While waiting for the fish to be steamed, she used the brazier to make braised pork with taro.

Lu Jueyu peeked at Zhang Dongmei through the kitchen window. Seeing that she was still washing the pot, Lu Jueyu quickly took out the roast chicken she had made before from the space. After the steamed fish was ready, she cooked a pot of seafood soup.

After working in the kitchen for nearly three hours, Lu Jueyu and Zhang Dongmei finally finished preparing dinner. When they heard Father Li’s voice coming from the front yard, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

“Third sister-in-law, I’m going to call the children first.” Zhang Dongmei said while wiping her hands on her apron.

“Alright.”

While she was alone, Lu Jueyu took out a basket of steamed buns, a basket of hand pulled noodles, and two jars of meat sauce from her space. As soon as she washed her hands, Jiao Siyu came over and said, “Bring out the food. Remember to prepare two extra bowls and chopsticks, we have guests. ”

After saying that, Jiao Siyu walked away without any intention of helping. Lu Jueyu looked at her back and rolled her eyes. She was too lazy to talk to Jiao Siyu. Not long after, Zhang Dongmei returned to the kitchen, and her sons followed.

Seeing them coming, Lu Jueyu asked, “What are Xiaoqian and Xiaoxu doing here? Don’t come to the kitchen, it’s very dangerous here.”

“Third Aunt, let us help serve the food.” Li Jingqian said shyly.

“Then the third aunt will thank Xiaoqian and Xiaoxu.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Both children nodded happily. Lu Jueyu was afraid that they would be injured while holding hot dishes, so she asked them to bring out steamed buns, noodles, cutlery, and meat sauce.

When Father Li’s brothers saw them bringing out the steamed buns and noodles, they gave Father Li a meaningful look. When Father Li went to see his second brother’s house just now, his third brother was also there. After chatting for a while, they came over to Father Li’s house for New Year’s Eve dinner. Everyone knows that after Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu got married, Father Li’s life got better and better.

His third daughter-in-law is not only filial, but also a very skilled cook. This time they came here to try her cooking, but when they saw the noodles and steamed buns, they felt that their expectations of her were too high.

After Xiaoqian and Xiaoxu put the cutlery and meat sauce on the table, they walked to Li Chenze and sat on his lap. Not long after, Zhang Dongmei walked into the living room carrying a three-layer bamboo basket.

“Second uncle, third uncle.” Zhang Dongmei greeted Father Li’s brothers with a smile.

After greeting them, she took out a plate of tempura, a plate of spring rolls, and a plate of lion head meatballs from the bamboo basket. Everyone’s mouths watered when they saw these dishes. Not to mention the aroma, the exquisite presentation alone will whet your appetite.

Zhang Dongmei went to the kitchen, and when she came back, she was followed by Lu Jueyu. She placed a pot of braised pork with taro and seafood soup in the center of the table before walking over and sitting down beside Li Chenze.

Lu Jueyu entered the living room and was stunned when she saw the guests inside. She remembered that they were all Li Chenmo’s uncles, so she smiled and said hello, “Uncles, you are here.”

“Third daughter-in-law, you have good skills.” Li Chenmo’s second uncle smiled and praised her.

Lu Jueyu smiled and took out a plate of steamed fish and roasted chicken from the bamboo basket. Everyone swallowed when they saw the food on the table.

After everyone sat down, Father Li said with a smile, “Today is the end of this year, let’s have a full meal. It’s a pity that there is no good wine. ”

After hearing what Father Li said, Lu Jueyu remembered that she had brought chrysanthemum wine and said, “Father, I brought some chrysanthemum wine that I brewed before. I’ll get it right now.”

Seeing that she was about to leave again, Li Chenmo stopped her and said, “I’ll get it, you should rest.”

After cooking for several hours, she was indeed a little tired, so she did not refuse and said, “Husband, I put the wine in the cabinet.”

“Mhmm.”

Not long after, Li Chenmo came back with a jar and several ceramic bowls. Father Li’s eyes lit up when he saw the jar. Although he likes to drink Baijiu, he still prefers the mellow taste of fruit wine or flower wine. Unfortunately, no one in his family knew how to brew wine. He didn’t expect his third son to be so capable. He has such a good eye for finding a wife!

Li Chenmo put the jar on the table. The wine jug is made of porcelain and sealed with cloth and rope. This wine jug can hold up to five liters of wine. Due to the dense material of the jug, the wine is well preserved.

The moment he untied the rope and uncovered the cloth, the living room was filled with the aroma of wine. The aroma is mellow and intoxicating. Even Xiaoqian and Xiaoxu took a few deep breaths.

Li Chenmo poured wine for Father Li first, and then for his uncles and brothers. When it was his turn, he glanced at his wife as if asking for her approval. Lu Jueyu leaned closer to him and whispered, “This wine is good for your health, but you should drink less.”

“Mhmm, I’ll listen to you.” He whispered.

Father Li cleared his throat and said, “Let’s raise a toast and wish you a good harvest and good health in the new year.”

“Cheers!” Everyone raised their glasses and toasted.
