Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Onion Rings
Li Chenmo was feeling so proud when he saw his wife couldn’t take her eyes off him. However, his wife is thin-skinned and he doesn’t want to scare her. As if he had just noticed her, he turned to look at her and asked calmly, “Wife, have you finished taking a shower?”

Coming back to her senses, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “En. Husband, go take a shower. Don’t catch a cold.”

As soon as she finished her words, she left the house and went to check the farmland as if she didn’t drool when she saw her husband’s body. Although her expression was calm, her pace was fast, revealing her hidden nervousness. She even heard her husband chuckling behind her back!

After Li Chenmo took a shower, the two left the space together and appeared in their bedroom. She made three large pans of pizza for dinner. So, Lu Jueyu said, “Husband, let’s treat your eldest brother and second brother to dinner. I made a new dish for tonight.”

Li Chenmo already knew that the pizza made by his wife was indeed a new dish of this era. So, he nodded and said, “Then I will go to invite them.”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “En, be careful on the road.”

Not long after Li Chenmo left home, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to make side dishes to go with the pizza. After thinking about it, she decided to make pumpkin soup, fried tofu with garlic, vegetable and fruit salad, onion rings, roasted eggplant with sesame sauce, and potato wedges. As for drinks, she’ll let them try a beer she previously brewed in the space.

As the sun set, Dong Li and Dong Huang came back with baskets full of pigweed. They placed the bamboo baskets outside the woodshed, cleaned the dirt on themselves, and then went to the kitchen.

When they entered the kitchen, Lu Jueyu was frying onion rings and potato wedges. As for the soup, it is held on a brazier to keep it warm. Seeing the children, she smiled and said to them, “You are all back. Come and try the new dishes Foster Mother made for dinner. ”

Hearing her words, they walked over and saw the kitchen table covered with dishes they had never seen before. Dong Huang sniffed curiously, pointed at the onion rings, and asked, “Foster mother, what is this?”

“This is called an onion ring. It is made of onions, covered with beaten eggs, flour, and batter, and then fried.” Lu Jueyu explained.

Dong Huang has eaten onions before and found them to taste weird and a bit spicy, so she didn’t like them at all. So when she heard it was made with onions, she was a little hesitant. Her brother always said it was a sin to waste food. Since her adoptive mother worked hard to prepare it, she should be grateful and eat it without being picky.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, “Foster mother, thank you for cooking for us.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu chuckled and said amusedly, “En, your Foster mother is also very grateful to Xiao Huang and Xiao Li for helping her.”

Under her gaze, Dong Huang reached for the onion rings and picked one from the bamboo plate. She glanced at her brother, who was eating his second onion ring and took a bite. The moment she tasted the onion rings, her eyes widened in surprise.

As she chewed, she thought, ‘Eh? It’s not spicy at all, it’s even a little bit sweet!’

Seeing her expression, Lu Jueyu knew what she was thinking and asked, “How is it? Do Xiao Li and Xiao Huang like this new dish?”

Both of them nodded and said in unison, “Foster mother, it’s delicious!”

“It’s good that you like it, but don’t eat too much, or you won’t be able to have dinner.”

After tasting the other dishes, they went to the backyard to help wash the dishes. Just as Lu Jueyu put the last onion ring on the plate, she heard Li Chenze’s voice coming from the front yard.

“Third brother, your vegetable garden is growing better and better! Just look at those eggplants, you can tell they are delicious and fresh!”

Li Chenmo agreed with his brother and said, “Brother, if you like it, then bring some back later.”

“Then, I won’t be polite with you. Thank you, Third brother!” Li Chenze did not refuse and readily agreed.

Entering the living room, Li Chenmo said, “Brother, sister-in-law, please have a seat first. I’ll go help my wife.”

Hearing this, Zhang Dongmei said, “Third brother, Meijia and I are going to help my third sister-in-law. You can accompany your brothers.”

After she finished speaking, she and Pan Meijia went to the kitchen. Seeing the Dong siblings washing dishes, Zhang Dongmei asked, “Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, is your foster mother in the kitchen?”

Dong Li and Dong Huang raised their heads and greeted them, “Eldest aunt, Aunt Pan.”

“My foster mother is still in the kitchen.” Dong Huang nodded.

Before entering the kitchen, they saw Lu Jueyu bringing out a large plate of pizza. Seeing the new dishes, Zhang Dongmei and Pan Meijia were very curious.

They walked over and asked, “Jueyu, is this a new dish you made?”

“Yes, but I haven’t given it a name.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

She didn’t dare name it Pizza because Pizza Hut would enter the Chinese market in 1990 and open its first store in Beijing. Domino’s entered the market in 1995, and the food delivery concept began to emerge at that time.

If she boldly uses a brand name, it could get her into trouble in the future. Therefore, it is best to err on the side of caution and avoid using these names.

Pan Meijia and Zhang Dongmei came to the kitchen and saw some more dishes on the kitchen table, so they brought them to the living room. The children helped bring out the utensils after washing the dishes.
