Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 384

Chapter 384: Dinner ( 1 )
Thinking about his second brother’s plan to get married this year, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “I’ll ask him.”

The two sat in the living room, ate some fruit, and then went to Lu Jueyu’s space to take a shower and take a nap.

After sleeping for a few hours, Lu Jueyu woke up and went to the kitchen. There were more orders tonight than yesterday, so she decided to make some time-consuming snacks herself to make it easier later. With the help of Pan Meijia and her sister-in-law, they would be able to make the rest of the pre-order before midnight.

She took out the list and marked the Zitui buns, peach buns, melon buns, spring rolls, jujube cakes, green glutinous rice balls, and lotus blossom porridge. While she was kneading dough with a machine, she made and steamed jujube cakes. While it was still steaming, the dough was ready, and she started making the buns.

When the jujube cake was ready, she steamed Zitui buns and peach buns. As for the melon buns, she baked them. After the buns and jujube cakes were ready, Lu Jueyu made green glutinous rice balls’ dough in the microwave, which was much easier than steaming.

While she was wrapping the filling, Li Chenmo woke up and went to the kitchen. Seeing that his wife was busy, he washed his hands and helped her make green glutinous rice balls. He would occasionally yawn, which made Lu Jueyu smile.

Even though he was very tired from work, he still helped her do her work. Although she felt distressed to see her husband so tired, she did not refuse his help.

While working, Li Chenmo asked, “Wife, do you plan to take the pre-order every day?”

“No, I’ve already told Bajie that we will take one day off every week.”

Hearing her words, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “The quantity of orders also needs to be limited. If you get sick because of overwork, it’s not worth it.”

Thinking of the increasing order volume, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “I will tell Bajie later.”

“Mhmm.”

After the green glutinous rice balls were wrapped, they wrapped the spring rolls and fried them. Afterwards, Lu Jueyu cooked the lotus blossom porridge while she prepared dinner. The two of them took a hot bath and sat on the balcony to rest after they finished cooking.

Sitting in the rocking chair, Li Chenmo glanced at his wife who was busy counting their family’s money. When he saw her bright eyes and bright smile, the corners of his lips raised.

After counting the money and checking the ledger, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Husband, guess how much money our family has now.”

Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “More than one hundred thousand?”

Hearing his words, Lu Jueyu shook her head and said, “We now have 486,999 yuan. In addition to 7 gold bars, we also have 52 gold coins, 348 pieces of jade, 42 famous paintings, and 189 antiques.”

Li Chenmo was surprised by their wealth and asked, “Wife, when did our money become so much?”

“Because we sell tonic wine. Since we have enough money now, it is good to limit our pre-orders. This way, we won’t attract too much attention. I heard from Bajie that some people are watching Houzi on the black market because most of their customers went to him.” Lu Jueyu said as she put the money back into the cans.

Li Chenmo nodded when he heard his wife’s words and said, “I will talk to Bajie about it tonight. They need to keep a low profile now to prevent anyone from reporting it to the authorities.”

“Alright.”

After taking a short rest, the two left the place. Li Chenmo went to tell Li Lingyun about the dinner, while Lu Jueyu was reading in the bedroom, waiting for the guests.

When the sun went down, Li Chenmo came back with Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia. When Li Lingyun accompanied Li Chenmo in the living room, Pan Meijia went to the kitchen to help Lu Jueyu.

Seeing her coming, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Meijia, you are here.”

At this moment, the kitchen stove is on a low fire to keep the dishes warm. Pan Meijia saw meat, soup, and vegetables dishes and asked, “Jueyu, is there anything I can do to help you?”

“I’m already done with the dishes. Now I just have to wait for Aunt Li and her family to come over before serving the food.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Aunt Li’s voice coming from the front yard, “Jueyu, are you home? It’s me.”

Lu Jueyu went to open the door and saw two unfamiliar faces. He smiled at them and said, “Aunt Li, Brother Li, sister-in-law, please come in.”

When Da Niu saw her, she smiled and greeted her.

Aunt Li handed her a small bamboo basket and said, “Jueyu, my hens laid some eggs this morning. They are very fresh and nutritious. Try them. If you like them, Aunt Li will bring more for you.”

Lu Jueyu took the egg and said, “Thank you, Aunt Li. You can just come. There is no need to bring any gifts.”

After entering the house, Chen Lina saw several ripe peaches on the peach tree and said, “Sister-in-law, your peaches ripen faster than others. My son likes to eat peaches the most. Unfortunately, our family’s yard is small and we don’t have peach trees. Otherwise, my son can eat peaches every year to his heart’s content.”

Hearing her words, Aunt Li glared at her, while Li Sang felt a little embarrassed. Lu Jueyu smiled after hearing her words and said, “Since children like it, I will pick some for him and Da Niu later.”

When Aunt Li heard this, she quickly refused and said, “Jueyu, no need. You’ve already invited us to dinner, how can we take your peaches?”

“It doesn’t matter. Since children like it, let them have it once in a while.”
