Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Roujiamo
In Lu Jueyu’s experience, the best ratio is one part egg to two parts water. As for the temperature, warm water around 45 degrees Celsius is most suitable for mixing beaten eggs and water.

Lu Jueyu didn’t use water, instead she took out some chicken broth from her space and heated it for a while. When the soup was warmed up, she cracked the eggs into a large bowl. She then poured the chicken broth into a large bowl slowly and stirred until the mixture was combined.

She took out several bowls from the cabinet and strained the egg mixture through a shive to remove any air bubbles. Then she covered the bowl with plastic wrap and poked a few holes. She used a big pot, put the bowl in, and poured some water into the pot.

Afterwards, she covered the pot and let it steam for seven minutes. While she waited, she chopped up some carrots and bacon. Then she adds the garnishes and steams them for another three minutes.

When the steamed egg was ready, she took it out of the pot and placed it on the kitchen table. When she saw the smooth surface, she removed the plastic wrap and smiled. She cut the steamed egg open with a thin knife and poured some soy sauce and sesame oil on it.

Not long after, Dong Li walked into the kitchen, followed by Dong Huang and others. As soon as they stepped into the kitchen, they smelled the aroma of steamed eggs and took a deep breath.

Seeing them coming, Lu Jueyu said, “The steamed eggs are just ready. Each of you will have a bowl.”

Lu Wenmu was the most excited when he heard her words and ran toward the kitchen table. Lu Jueyu was afraid of him burning himself and said, “Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, can you help me move the steamed eggs to the living room?”

Both of them nodded and agreed, “Yes, foster mother.”

Lu Jueyu placed two bowls of steamed eggs on a small tray and handed them to Dong Huang. Then, she placed three bowls of steamed eggs, and handed them to Dong Li. Since Feng Lin was injured, Lu Jueyu handed him the spoons.

After the children went to the living room to eat steamed eggs, Lu Jueyu began to prepare lunch. After counting the children’s portions, she decided to add a few more dishes.

Today, she made Roujiamo as the main dish. For side dishes, she made Mapo tofu, vegetable and shrimp spring rolls, mushroom and potato soup, and fried oysters.

As soon as she finished cooking, Li Chenmo came back. He locked the gate, parked his bicycle, and walked to the backyard. Smelling the aroma of the food, he knew that his wife had prepared lunch. When he had finished freshening up, he walked into the kitchen and saw his wife inspecting the stove.

He walked over, squatted next to his wife, and said, “The fire is gone.”

Lu Jueyu turned her head, approached her husband, and kissed his chin, “Husband, welcome home.”

Li Chenmo smiled at her, caressed her cheek, and gave her a lingering kiss. After parting his lips, he said hoarsely, “Wife, I miss you.”

Hearing his words, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Husband, let’s eat first. The children are waiting for you.”

Knowing that it was past lunchtime, Li Chenmo nodded and helped her carry the dishes to the living room. When the children saw him, they greeted him one after another.

Dong Li and Dong Huang were used to the food cooked by their adoptive mother and didn’t notice anything wrong. But when Lu Wenyi, Lu Wenmu, and Feng Lin saw these dishes, their eyes widened in surprise.

Although Chen Anwen became more generous after she earned money by helping Lu Jueyu make snacks, she only cooked meat dishes once every two or three days to avoid the neighbors’ peering eyes, which already counted as a luxury. This was the first time the children saw so many meat dishes in one meal.

As for Feng Lin, although he received meat and bones from Lu Jueyu. But, he and his grandparents were unwilling to eat them at once. So, they salt the meat to preserve it longer and the bones are boiled into soup.

For them, being able to drink bone broth is already pretty good. Therefore, when he saw the dishes on the plate, he couldn’t help but think of the difference between his own family and Dong Huang’s family.

After sitting down, Lu Jueyu picked up a piece of Roujiamo and put it into her husband’s bowl, “Husband, try it. See if it suits your taste.”

Li Chenmo looked at his bowl and remembered the time they went to the night market in his previous life. Every time she went to the night market, she would buy Roujiamo. She said that was the food her father bought for her before. She would eat it whenever she missed her father.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Lu Jueyu patted his hand gently and asked, “Husband, what are you thinking about?”

After coming back to his senses, Li Chenmo smiled and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just a little tired.”

“Then you go get some sleep after lunch,” Lu Jueyu smiled.

Li Chenmo nodded towards her, took a bite of Roujiamo, and said, “Wife, it’s delicious.”

“Then eat more,” Lu Jueyu said with a smile as she scooped some soup for him.

When the children saw him take the first bite, they finally picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

At noon, Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua were sitting in the living room of Chen’s house. After the Chen family was separated, only Grandpa Chen and his three sons’ families stayed with him.

At this time, in addition to Grandpa Chen, Gou Dan’s uncles were also present. As for his parents, his mother went to the county town to visit his father and was not at home.
