Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Lavish Meal
Hearing Pan Meijia’s words, Lu Jueyu was speechless. What kind of nose does her friend have that allows her to notice it as soon as she takes out the chicken soup from her space?

After sniffing a few more times, Pan Meijia suddenly turned around and locked her eyes on the vat next to Lu Jueyu’s feet. Seeing the vat, she asked with a smile, “Jueyu, did you bring over chicken soup?”

“En, but I don’t know if it would be enough for everyone. So, I also plan to make some egg drop soup.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

After everyone heard Lu Jueyu’s words, they all looked at the basket of eggs, a few jars of meat sauce, and a few packages of food. Although they don’t know what’s in the oil paper packaging, everyone knows it’s good stuff.

Lu Jueyu found several bamboo plates, poured roasted nuts and fruit slices on them, and said at the same time, “While the guests are waiting, we should prepare some snacks for them.”

“I’ll help you take it out.” One villager said with a smile.

“Thank you, Auntie.” Lu Jueyu thanked her with a smile.

“Jueyu, since you have the best cooking skills, why don’t you cook and we will assist you?” asked another villager.

Zhang Dongmei, Chen Anwen, and Pan Meijia heard her words and knew that she wanted to learn some recipes from Lu Jueyu. They looked at Lu Jueyu and shook their heads, wanting her to reject the villager.

Lu Jueyu looked at her sister-in-law and went silent for a moment.

After thinking for a while, she said embarrassedly, “Auntie, I can only cook a little bit. What’s more, I’m not in good health and I can’t cook so many dishes at once. I’m afraid I need everyone’s help with the cooking.”

Hearing her humble words, the villagers looked at each other, knowing that they would learn nothing from her today. Now that she’s said that, they can’t force her to show the recipe. After some consideration, they finally agreed to cook together.

Even though there were a lot of people helping out, it still took more than two hours to get everything ready. In addition to the herbal chicken soup prepared for the elders, they also prepared egg drop soup for the rest of the guests.

As for meat dishes, they prepare braised pork and steamed fish. Although each table only had half of the steamed fish and a small plate of braised pork, it was already a luxurious and delicious meal.

For vegetable dishes, they made shredded potatoes and stir fry vegetables. The staple food is fried noodles and steamed buns.

By lunchtime, everyone was seated and chatting while snacking on roasted nuts and fruit slices. Zhang Dongmei walked to the front yard and found Father Li, “Father, can we serve food now?”

Father Li glanced at everyone, and when he saw that everyone was there, he nodded and said, “Mhmm. Let’s serve the food.”

Not long after, the dishes were served one after another. When everyone saw the noodles and white flour steamed buns, they were all stunned. They couldn’t help but salivate when they saw that there were not only vegetarian dishes and egg soup but also steamed fish and braised meat.

When Lu Jueyu came out of the kitchen, she saw her husband coming back with two children. When she saw their faces, she remembered that the little boy was the one who told them about Father Li yesterday. She had met them once before, and the boy reminded her before she left for the mountain.

Looking at them, she found them pleasing to the eye. They would look cute and nice if they weren’t so thin and malnourished. She walked up to her husband and said, “Husband, the food is ready. We should join Father and the others.”

Dong Li and Dong Huang saw her and said in unison, “Hello, Aunt Li.”

Lu Jueyu squatted in front of them and said, “Good child, thank you for notifying me and my husband yesterday. We prepared a meal to thank everyone. Please come in.”

Dong Li held her sister’s thin hand and said, “Thank you, Aunt Li, for inviting us.”

Li Chenmo patted his head and walked in with his wife while the children followed suit. After finding a seat for them, he took his wife and sat next to Li Chenze.

In addition to dishes, the Li family also prepared some fruit wine for the adults and soy milk for the children. This wine was brewed by Lu Jueyu using the things in her space. Even if they only drink a little, it will be of great benefit to their health. After the village’s elders and Father Li started eating, everyone finally moved their chopsticks.

Although the Li family was still mourning, when everyone learned about Li Chenxuan’s words when he left yesterday and the Li family’s decision to remove his name from the Li family genealogy, everyone regarded the meal as a party instantly. What a blessing it is to be able to cut ties with such a person!

Despite there being no jokes and laughter as usual, the villagers were still smiling and the gloomy atmosphere during mourning was gone. Everyone had a great time and left after helping to clean up the house. Because there were no leftovers, Lu Jueyu gave two milk candies to the villagers to bring back as a good luck gift.

Since Li Chenxuan was expelled from the Li family, his house has now been returned to Father Li. When only the Li family was left in the living room, Father Li said, “Since you all have a house, I plan to hand over this house to the government. The money received later will be given to the third son as payment for Li Chenxuan’s debt.”

Li Chenze was silent for a moment and said, “This is not a bad thing. After all, the house will be empty, and we still need to pay high taxes. Therefore, it is better to leave it to the government. In this way, we can save some money from paying taxes every year.”

Zhang Dongmei agreed with her husband and said, “Father, I think this is good.”
