Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 86

Lu Jueyu likes to put some cups on the table in the living room, so that it is more convenient to make tea for guests. On the brazier stood an iron teapot filled with hot water. Lu Jueyu put some tea leaves on the bamboo cups, and then poured some hot water.

After a while, the fragrance of Biluochun filled the whole room. After brewing some tea for them, she went to the wall cabinet and took out two jars.

"Father, I made some snacks. Have a try." Lu Jueyu said while opening the jar.

The moment the lid is opened, the aroma of brown sugar fills the room. Inside are oatmeal raisin and butter cookies she made earlier in the space. When Father Li and the educated youths saw these snacks, they were very surprised. Although it looks ordinary, it is very fragrant. Just smelling the fragrance makes the mouth water.

Father Li took an oatmeal raisin cookie and took a bite. With a crisp sound, the cookie was split in half. Father Li closed his eyes, savoring the taste carefully. The cookie is not too sweet, and with the addition of raisins, there is a hint of tartness that balances the oily taste of the butter.

Seeing Father Li eating with gusto, Lu Jueyu said, "Father, you can bring some back as a snack later."

Father Li nodded, he liked the taste of these snacks very much. Seeing Father Li eating two cookies, the educated youth couldn’t help himself, and reached out to grab a biscuit. Most of the people took oatmeal raisin cookies, but one of the educated youths took a butter cookie.

Butter cookies are shaped like a ring. In modern times, this cookie is popular as a gift. Unlike the crispy oatmeal raisin cookies, butter cookies are softer and melt in the mouth. Butter’s aroma is similar to that of milk, making it a delicacy for this day and age.

When Li Chenmo returned to the living room, he saw his father and the educated youths busy eating, while his wife was pouring more hot water into their cups. As he approached, a scent similar to milk and brown sugar filled his nostrils, arousing his appetite.

Noticing that his gaze was on the jar, Lu Jueyu said, "Husband, try the snack I made. See if it suits your taste."

Li Chenmo sat down and tasted the cookies. The moment he bit down on the cookie, he understood why even his father only cared about eating and didn’t talk. It’s so delicious.

Lu Jueyu stood by the river and saw that the water was clear. Although the water is clean, she does not intend to use it for drinking water. The river water can be used to water vegetable gardens or wash clothes and dishes instead.

When she saw the fish, she was surprised because there were not only catfish in the river, but also carp and trout. While these fish are common in modern times, they are rare in this era. Looking at the fat and big fish in the river, Lu Jueyu wondered why no one went to catch fish in the river since they lacked food.

What she didn’t know was that the villagers could only fish in the river that ran past their house. Since most villagers live in the center of the village, there is no river near their homes. The only river in the village is used to irrigate the fields, and the fish in the river belong to the brigade. Therefore, no one dares to catch fish without permission.

Although their home is far from the village, it is located at the foot of the mountain and it is very convenient to go up the mountain. What’s more, the river is right behind their backyard. This is why Father Li gritted his teeth and decided to pay taxes instead of handing over the house to the government.

Lu Jueyu took out a fish basket from her space, placed fish bait on it, and put it in the river. In just five minutes, several fish have been caught.
