Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 617

Chapter 617: The Mayor Wife’s Pre-order
“This is a dish called egg balado. It uses fried boiled eggs and chili sauce as its main ingredients. If you can’t eat spicy food, just eat the eggs,” Lu Jueyu explained.

Looking at the bright red color, Dong Huang couldn’t help drooling and said, “Foster mother, Xiao Huang can eat spicy food.”

Lu Jueyu placed a bowl of rice in front of her and Dong Li and said, “Okay, but don’t eat too much. Otherwise, you may get stomach aches later.”

Their appetites were whetted thanks to the boiled egg balado dish. Seeing that her husband was eating with gusto, she took it to heart and decided to cook more spicy dishes for him.

After dinner, the children returned to the bedroom to study, while Li Chenmo cleared the table and washed the dishes.

Lu Jueyu went to the bedroom and took out the pre-order list from her space. Tonight, they needed to make snacks again. Since her second sister-in-law can’t do the heavy work now, she decided to let her do the easy work.

Not long after, Li Chenmo entered the bedroom and closed the door. Lu Jueyu led the two of them to her space and said, “Husband, you go take a shower first.”

Li Chenmo did not let her go but pulled her into his arms. He leaned close to her, and asked in a low voice, “Wife, I’m so tired. How about you help me take a bath?”

Lu Jueyu was speechless by her husband’s words. She pushed him lightly and said, “Husband, stop messing around. If you are tired, I will give you a massage after you take a bath.”

When Li Chenmo saw that his wife was still too shy to take a shower together, he didn’t insist. He kissed her and went to take a shower in a good mood.

While her husband was taking a shower, Lu Jueyu sat on the bed and checked the warehouse panel. Now that she’s agreed to sell the grain in her space to Houzi and her husband’s comrades, she needs to check the yield rate.

After checking for a while, she opened the farmland panel and decided to use 10% of the land to plant rice, and 10% to plant corn, sorghum, barley, wheat, oats, rye, and millet.

In addition to grains, she also uses 20% of the land to grow medicinal plants, 10% to grow trees, 10% to grow various vegetables, 10% to grow various fruits, and the remaining land to grow cotton, flax, hemp, bamboo, and other plants.

At the rate her plants are maturing, providing the supply for Houzi and her husband’s comrades’ stores with enough food won’t be a problem.

As soon as the fields were set, Li Chenmo came out of the bathroom and said, “Wife, I have prepared hot water for you.”

After closing the panel, she took a set of clean clothes from the cabinet and went to take a shower. After she finished taking a shower, she dried her hair before crawling onto the bed and snuggling into her husband’s arms.

She was tired, yawned, and asked, “Husband, do you want me to give you a massage?”

Li Chenmo closed the book and put it on the bedside table. He looked at his wife’s tired face and said, “No need, go to sleep. You still need to make a lot of snacks later.”

“En,” Lu Jueyu let out a muffled hum as her response before she fell asleep.

Ten hours later, Lu Jueyu woke up feeling refreshed. When she stretched out her hand, she touched an empty space beside her and opened her eyes. She sat up and found that her husband was already awake and nowhere to be found.

She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and called hoarsely, “Husband?”

Waiting for a while, she heard no other sounds except the chirping of birds and the gentle breeze. After washing her face, she went out to look for her husband. As soon as she came out of the house, she saw her husband running in the farmland.

Lu Jueyu knew that he was very disciplined with his exercise, so she didn’t disturb him and went to the kitchen. Taking out the pre-order list, she took out the ingredients from the warehouse for the snacks.

Tonight, there is a huge order from another city. It was the mayor’s wife who placed the order, and it was for the mayor’s birthday party. Due to limited ingredients, they were unable to prepare a meal worthy of the mayor’s status. So the mayor’s wife decided to buy ready-made food on the black market.

Unfortunately, the food on the market is either too expensive or tastes terrible. When the mayor’s wife was at her wit’s end, she visited her cousin, who introduced her to Houzi. Because the order was urgent, Houzi could only push other orders to the next day and let Lu Jueyu prepare this order first.

Not just because the mayor’s wife was offering 5% more than their price, but because that connection was important to their business. If they can get the mayor’s wife’s goodwill, she will become an important entry point for them into the city market.

Although she understood the importance of this order, Lu Jueyu was not nervous and prepared snacks as usual.

Tonight, she needs to prepare 50 macarons, 50 egg tarts, 200 chicken empanadas, 200 stuffed mushrooms, 100 pinwheel sandwiches, 200 chicken meatballs, 100 vegetable spring rolls, 10 portions of Mapo tofu, 6 Peking duck, 20 portions of chow mein, 50 portions of century eggs, 10 portions of Kung Pao chicken, 100 bowls of sweet tofu pudding, and 100 bowls of savory tofu pudding.

Although the quantity of each type is not large, there are many types, and it will take her a long time to prepare everything. As soon as she prepared the ingredients, Li Chenmo already finished his exercise and took a shower.

Entering the kitchen, he walked up to his wife, kissed her, and asked, “Wife, is there anything I can do for you?”
