Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 373

Xiao Li remembered the rumors he had heard before, saying that Lu Jueyu was illiterate and rude. To this day, no one knows who spread these rumors. Although most of the villagers stopped talking about these rumors after interacting more with her, there were still some who liked to bring them up to ridicule her.

Xiao Li glanced at her and started cleaning the mushrooms. He picked a basket of mushrooms and it took them twenty minutes to clean them all.

Afterwards, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and got two knives. She handed one to Xiao Li and said, "After clearing away the dirt and debris, we will trim off the hard or woody parts of the mushroom. Pay attention to the edges and bottom, as these areas may be fibrous."

"Oh, okay." Xiao Li nodded and started working according to Lu Jueyu’s instructions.

It took them ten minutes to trim the mushrooms. When they were done, Lu Jueyu filled a basin with water to soak the mushrooms.

Seeing her soaking the mushrooms, Xiao Li scratched his head and asked, "Sister-in-law, didn’t you say soaking them in water would affect the taste? Why do you need to soak them now?"

Lu Jueyu pressed the mushrooms into the water and explained, "You don’t need to do this step, but it can enhance the flavor. Soaking it in cold water for 30 minutes can remove the bitterness. This mushroom has firm meat and is suitable for various cooking methods. It can be fried, roasted, stir-fried, or used in soups or stews. But be sure to cook them thoroughly and not eat them raw."

Just as Xiao Li was trying to remember her explanation, Lu Jueyu stood up and said, "Alright, we just need to wait for a while before we can start cooking."

Xiao Li went to the living room and chatted with the Li brothers while Lu Jueyu went to her bedroom and wrote down a simple chicken of the woods mushroom recipe.

In addition to stew, she also prepared chicken of the woods fingers, hash browns, and steak for Xiao Li. With these recipes, even if he eats this mushroom every day, he can rotate the recipe and will not get tired of its taste.

After coming out of the bedroom, she handed the recipe to Xiao Li and said, "Brother Xiao, I have written some recipes for this mushroom. I will show you how to cook it later, and you can try it at home later."

Xiao Li quickly waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I can’t accept these recipes. They are too valuable."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "It’s just some simple recipes and not something valuable."

Seeing this, Li Chenmo added, "Brother Xiao, since my wife gave it to you, just accept it."

Xiao Li was stunned after hearing what they said. He knew that the villagers were eager to learn Lu Jueyu’s secret recipe, but Lu Jueyu was unwilling to teach it to them. Yet today, she gave him not just one, but several recipes. If he could master these recipes, he might be able to make money in the black market.
