Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 109

Lu Jueyu took out the money from Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li came to thank me and gave me the money for the medicine."

Li Chenmo glanced at the money and nodded. Although it is only three yuan, it is a huge sum of money for the villagers. It seems that Aunt Li is a person who knows how to repay kindness. It wouldn’t be a bad thing for his wife to have some acquaintances. After all, she was at home alone while he was working.

If she had someone she knew, he would be more at ease and she wouldn’t be too bored staying at home. At least she had someone to talk to.

After putting the money in her pocket, Lu Jueyu asked, "How about we eat some roast chicken?"

"Alright." Li Chenmo nodded.

Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out the marinated chicken from her space. She stuffs potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and some herbs into the chicken and wraps it in lotus leaves. Afterwards, she took the chicken to the backyard and covered the lotus leaves with some mud. By the time she finished, Li Chenmo had already lit a fire.

A few days ago, when she asked her brothers to help build the pigsty, they also helped her build the brick oven. After two days, the oven is dry and ready for use. Today was her first time trying the newly built brick oven. The brick oven is built similar to a pizza oven, but smaller in size. Therefore, she can remove the food from the oven without using any tools.

Seeing that the oven was already hot, Lu Jueyu put the chicken in the oven and closed the oven door. The oven has a small chimney with smoke coming out of it. After putting the chicken in the oven, Lu Jueyu steamed some rice and made hot and sour soup.

Since today is meat distribution day, every family was cooking meat dishes, and the air was filled with the smell of meat. Although he likes meat very much, Li Chenmo still feels uncomfortable when he smells the smell of braised pork from morning till now. Fortunately, his wife didn’t cook any meat dishes today. Otherwise, he might not be able to eat much.

Almost an hour later, Lu Jueyu finally put on thick cotton gloves and went to open the brick oven. When she took out the chicken, Li Chenmo only smelled something like dry mud. Seeing the black thing on his wife’s hand, he was curious.

Lu Jueyu didn’t notice her husband’s gaze and put the chicken on the ground. She beats the chicken with a stick. With a snap, the dry mud covering the chicken shattered. In an instant, the air is filled with the fragrance of lotus. Li Chenmo couldn’t hold back his curiosity, put down the half-woven bamboo plate, and walked over.

When he squatted down, he saw the brown lotus leaves tied with hemp rope. Lu Jueyu cut off the rope and opened the lotus leaf. The moment she removes the leaves, brown roast chicken emerges. The chicken was glistening with oil, and the aroma of herbs, roasted vegetables and chicken filled Li Chenmo’s nostrils.

The moment he smelled the fragrance, he felt that his saliva was pooling inside his mouth. Seeing him swallow, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Husband, go wash your hands first."

"Alright."
