Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Favor
Li Chenmo’s loud cough not only alarmed Song Yan, but also Lu Jueyu who was sitting next to him.

Thinking that his throat might be uncomfortable due to the morning wind, she poured him a cup of warm tea and said, “Husband, drink some tea. Is your throat feeling uncomfortable?”

The anger rising in his heart due to jealousy disappeared instantly when he heard the concern in his wife’s voice. He picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said gently, “Wife, I’m fine.”

Song Yan came back from his thoughts and realized the rudeness he had just made. How could he stare at someone else’s wife so blatantly in front of her husband?

“Comrade, I’m sorry if I offended you. I just didn’t expect such a young person to have such superb brewing skills.” Song Yan smiled awkwardly.

Lu Jueyu saw his sincerity and smiled at him, “Comrade, you overpraised me. I just follow the usual recipe.”

Song Yan didn’t believe it and asked, “Comrade, what medicinal materials did you use? Can you show me your recipe?”

Since she was using a normal recipe, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Sure, please wait.”

After saying that, she went to the bedroom and wrote down the recipe. Not long after, she came out with a piece of paper.

“Comrade, this is the recipe.” Lu Jueyu handed over the recipe.

Song Yan was stunned when he saw that she gave him the recipe easily. He thought she would ask for some money before she would show him the recipe.

After a while, he took the recipe and looked at it. After reading the recipe, he muttered with doubts, “The ingredients are nothing special, but why does the tonic wine taste so different?”

Hearing his soft murmur, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “That may be because I have used 500-year-old wild ginseng and wine made from morning dew.”

When Doctor Xie and Song Yan heard her words, they looked at her with surprise in their eyes. They didn’t expect that she would go to such great lengths to brew the tonic wine. No wonder there is a hint of morning dew fragrance.

Not to mention the 500-year-old wild ginseng, just the brewing of liquor itself requires a lot of morning dew, and it takes a long time to collect it. When they thought about the troubles and luck involved in brewing tonic wine, Doctor Xie and Song Yan lost interest in brewing the tonic wine themselves.

Li Chenmo noticed the change in their expressions and his eyes flickered. Fortunately, he told everyone, his wife brewed a tonic wine using morning dew. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain how they achieved such results using ordinary ingredients.

Like her husband, Lu Jueyu also noticed the purpose of Doctor Xie and Song Yan today. Since they asked, she told them. As for the success of their tonic wine brewing, it has nothing to do with her.

After knowing the ingredients, Doctor Xie looked at his apprentice and sighed, “If I had known that the process was so troublesome and the materials were so precious, I wouldn’t have given you the half cup of tonic wine.”

Song Yan was speechless when he heard his teacher’s words and thought, ‘Teacher, I’ve only had two sips of your wine, is it necessary to show such reluctance? No matter what, I’m still your beloved disciple. How can you be so stingy ah?’

Lu Jueyu saw their interaction and smiled, “Doctor Xie, if you like it, I still have some tonic wine left, you can have it.”

Doctor Xie looked at her thoughtfully and said, “I won’t take your stuff for free. You can give me the price.”

Hearing his words, Li Chenmo thought of the price of his wife’s tonic wine on the black market and smiled. If they told him the price, he might think they were lying and trying to take advantage of him. Might as well give him the tonic wine for free and let him owe them this favor. Perhaps this favor will come in handy in the future.

Li Chenmo glanced at his wife and said, “Doctor Xie, no need for the money. As fellow villagers, it is normal to give each other drinks or food.”

As soon as Lu Jueyu heard her husband’s words, she understood what he wanted to do. Since he felt that giving away the wine would be more beneficial to them, Lu Jueyu would not object to his decision.

She smiled at Doctor Xie and said, “Doctor Xie, I only have about 250 ml of the tonic wine. I will get it for you, please wait a moment.”

After saying that, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out two small bottles of tonic wine from her space. One bottle has 200ml and the other only has 50ml. These bottles were sold on the black market for 1,250 yuan. However, she felt it was worth giving it to Doctor Xie and his apprentice.

Although she has the spiritual grass powder, there is no 100% guarantee that she or her family will not need a doctor one day as she can’t be sure that she would be around when something happened to her family or that the spiritual grass powder could save their life. Therefore, it is good for her and her family to have a good relationship with Doctor Xie.

In addition to tonic wine, she also packed two packages of fruit slices before returning to the living room. When she entered the room, she found her husband silently observing Song Yan. It wasn’t until she regained some of her memory that she discovered how easily her husband could get jealous.

Lu Jueyu sat next to her husband, gently squeezed his palm to comfort him, and then put the wine and fruit slices on the table while saying, “Doctor Xie, Comrade Song, this is my last tonic wine, and these are some fruit slices I made.”
