Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Pizza
Feng Lin quickly washed his hands, took a bowl from the kitchen, and went to the front yard to find his grandfather. Not long after, Grandma Feng came out and sat down next to her husband.

Taking out the snacks from his clothes, Feng Ling opened them and put a piece of scallion pancake as big as a plate and two pieces of beef jerky into the bowl. When Grandma Feng saw that the pancake was made of white flour and had minced meat on them, she said, “Xiao Lin, your friend is so generous!”

Feng Lin was also surprised when he saw these snacks. He thought that at most it would just be some fruit slices like the one Dong Huang shared with him before. Unexpectedly, these so-called snacks turned out to be delicacies that he had not eaten for a long time. Not to mention beef jerky, even scallion pancakes are rare for him.

After a while, he came to his senses and divided the pancake into three parts. He took one and said, “Grandpa and grandma, please try it quickly. This is made by Ah Huang’s adoptive mother. Her cooking skills are famous in Xie village.”

Grandpa Feng split a beef jerky in half and handed a scallion pancake and half of the beef jerky to his wife. Then, he handed a piece of beef jerky to Feng Lin and said, “You are still growing, so you have this beef jerky. Grandpa and Grandma will share the other one.”

Feng Lin did not refuse because he knew that he had to grow up quickly to help his grandparents. The three of them ate slowly while savoring the taste. Although the portion was not enough, their fatigue disappeared after eating and they felt refreshed.

They thought they were too hungry before. So after eating some food, it was normal for them to feel refreshed and no one connected it with the snacks’ health properties.

At Li Chenmo’s house, after lunch, Li Chenmo taught the children in the living room, while Lu Jueyu went to pick peaches. She then went to the backyard, retrieved five fish from her space, and began cleaning up. Because there is a river behind her house, eating fish is normal for them.

After washing the fish, she marinates it for a while, then wraps it in banana leaves and bakes it in a brick oven. While she waited for the fish to finish baking, she kneaded the dough for pizza.

In addition to yeast, water, flour, oil, salt, and sugar, Lu Jueyu also adds some garlic powder, Italian herbs, and cornmeal to add flavor and crunch. It freezes well and forms a thin crust. She fermented the dough in her refrigerator inside the space and prepared the sauce and toppings.

She plans to make a bacon, veggie, and mushroom pizza for her foster children, a barbecue meatball pizza for herself, and a supreme pizza for her husband. As she prepared the ingredients, the aroma of grilled fish filled the air.

She took out the pizza dough, started shaping it, and put it into the iron pan. After pouring the sauce and toppings, she set it aside. Then she took the grilled fish out of the brick oven and put the pizza in it. She added more firewood to raise the temperature in the brick oven and baked the pizza for 15 minutes.

In the kitchen, she put grilled fish in her own space for dinner. She took out two peaches, a cantaloupe, and a watermelon from the space. She cut half of the cantaloupe, a quarter of the watermelon, and the peaches, and placed them on a bamboo bowl.

She kept the rest of the cantaloupe and watermelon in her space and brought the fruit plate into the living room. When the children smelled the fruit, they couldn’t help but sniff.

Li Chenmo hit their foreheads with a pencil and said, “Concentrate on your homework.”

Dong Li and Dong Huang were both afraid of their adoptive father and quickly focused on the books in front of them.

Lu Jueyu smiled when she saw them so obedient in front of her husband. She put the fruit on the table and said, “Husband, eat some fruit.”

Li Chenmo smiled and nodded at his wife, “Mhmm, thank you, wife.”

Since there was still time until the pizza was ready. Lu Jueyu sat next to him and picked a cantaloupe with a fork. She brought it to her husband’s mouth and said, “Here’s your favorite cantaloupe.”

Li Chenmo didn’t feel embarrassed about being fed by his wife in front of the children and ate the fruit calmly. After swallowing, he looked at the children and said, “Eat the fruit first before continuing with your homework.”

After hearing his words, the children were very happy. They enjoyed the fruit while talking about what they learned at school and what they were doing with their friends.

After resting for fifteen minutes, Lu Jueyu went to the backyard with an empty plate and took out the pizza from the oven. She put the pizza in her space and washed the plates, pots, and pans.

The smell of food lingered in the air, and the neighbors would not be suspicious if they saw her family eating baked food. Since Pan Meijia and her sister-in-law would come over after dinner, Lu Jueyu went to the bedroom to check the account books.

Because she was concentrating on her work, she didn’t notice how long she had been working. Suddenly, she heard her husband’s voice, “Wife, you have been working for almost two hours. You should stop and take a rest.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Husband, I’m not that delicate. It’s normal to work for a few hours.”

Li Chenmo knew that she had once stood for a long time, doing the heavy work of cooking for several hours without stopping. However, her body was healthier than a normal person at that time. Now she is much weaker than a normal person. How could her body bear such exhaustion?
