Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 333 Beauty Can't Put Food on the Table

As the dishes were served one by one, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at the large, dark soup in the center of the table, Chen Guihua hesitated and asked, "Little Jiang, is this stewed black-boned chicken?"

Jiang Moli laughed: "Sister-in-law Guihua, this is the old hen I traded with you for grain coupons yesterday. You don't even recognize the chicken you raised yourself?"

Chen Guihua's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Old hen? When we stew old hens, the soup is always yellow and bright. Why is yours all black and shiny?"

"Your chickens are so fat that I was worried the soup would be too greasy, so I added a piece of lotus root to stew. It turned out like this after it was done. I don't know what happened."

Seeing Jiang Moli's puzzled look, Sun Li couldn't help but say, "You cut the lotus root too early. You should cut it just before cooking. Once you've cut it, put it in the pot immediately so the soup won't turn black."

Jiang Moli suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. It's my first time cooking, so please bear with this."

"It's okay, a bad appearance doesn't mean it tastes bad."

Lu Cheng brought out a bowl and first served himself a bowl of black chicken soup.

Seeing this, the others also picked up their bowls and joined in, hoping that maybe the food would taste alright.

However, once they tasted the chicken soup, they all frowned.

"Oh my god, why does this chicken soup taste bitter?"

Jiang Moli explained, "Oh, I put a small piece of wild ginseng in the soup. It tastes a bit bitter, but ginseng stewed chicken is the most nourishing. Everyone should drink more soup and take good care of your health."

The expressions on everyone's faces were indescribable.

Both old hens and ginseng are good things, but this is not the way to eat them! It's such a waste of such good things!

I mistakenly used sugar instead of salt when stir-frying vegetables, added vinegar to cold tofu salad, and the fish was too bland while the meat was too salty.

While eating, everyone secretly expressed their disdain and complaints about Jiang Moli's terrible cooking skills.

What kind of rubbish is this? Eating pig swill is better than eating this!
Dislike rating +10, 100000 yuan credited.

Although the food tasted terrible, they had all endured hardship and cherished food to the core, so they tried their best to eat all the food on the table.

"There's no more food left. Are you all full? Should I go and cook a couple more dishes?"

Upon hearing that Jiang Moli wanted to add more dishes, Xu Heming and the others quickly waved their hands in fright.

"No, no, we've already eaten, we can't eat anymore."

Chen Guihua got up and started clearing away the dishes, saying, "It's getting late, let's clean up. The kids need to go back and do their homework."

"Yes, let's accept it."

Other family members also actively helped.

Jiang Moli didn't even have to lift a finger; everyone quickly and efficiently cleaned up the pots, pans, and stove, leaving them spotless.

After leaving the Lu family's house, Chen Guihua and the others immediately gathered around a group of crickets, including Jiang Moli.

"Oh dear, this meal was really unpleasant."

"No wonder Commander Lu buys food from the canteen and eats it at home every day. If you eat her cooking every day, you'll get sick."

"She's really something else, every dish she makes is so awful!"

Although Xu Heming, Huo Jianhong, and Deng Zilong didn't gossip like women, they all silently felt sorry for Lu Cheng.

When Jiang Moli first arrived, they were quite envious of Lu Cheng for marrying such a beautiful wife.

After eating this meal tonight, everyone felt that their own wife was the best.

You need to find a virtuous woman to live a good life; beauty can't fill an empty stomach.

……

After closing the main door, Lu Cheng walked over to Jiang Moli, who was reclining on the chair, and looked at her tenderly.
"Take a break, I'll go cook some noodles."

Jiang Moli tilted her head and teased, "Didn't you eat enough tonight?"

Lu Cheng squatted down. "I cooked this for you. You barely ate anything tonight. You must be exhausted after working all afternoon."

I was really tired, but not so tired that I couldn't eat. It was just that the food didn't taste good.

"I want to eat egg noodles." "Okay."

Ten minutes later, two bowls of fragrant egg noodles were served.

The couple sat facing each other at the dining table to eat.

The milky white egg noodle soup, paired with vibrant green wood ear mushrooms, is seasoned only with lard, salt, and scallions, and is delicious enough.

How does the noodle soup taste?

"is acceptable."

With Jiang Moli's approval of his cooking skills, Lu Cheng lowered his head in satisfaction and began to eat his noodles.

It's okay if my wife can't cook; I'll just cook from now on.

After taking a couple of bites of noodles, Jiang Moli looked up at the man opposite her and asked, "What do you think of the dishes I cooked today?"

Lu Cheng swallowed the noodles in his mouth. "It's fine."

"Tell the truth."

Lu Cheng said earnestly, "Your performance tonight was indeed not good enough, but it's the first time you've cooked so many dishes, which is quite an achievement in my opinion, and you deserve encouragement."

"Didn't you ever think that I could actually do better?"

"I married you not so that you would cook, raise children, or serve the elders. I married you simply because I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. As for household chores like cooking and laundry, can't I handle those?"

Hearing the man's words of a virtuous husband, Jiang Moli felt rather depressed.

"Lu Cheng, let me ask you something. If I were to pass away one day, what would you do?"

"I haven't thought about it."

"Then think about it now."

Lu Cheng countered with, "What would you do if you were in her shoes?"

Jiang Moli replied without hesitation, "If you're not by my side anymore, I'll definitely find another man. I'm still so young; I can't live a life of widowhood forever."

Lu Cheng: “…”

I was so angry I didn't even want to eat noodles.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was a clear, deep blue.

Jiang Moli sat on the balcony of her second-floor apartment, with a round thatched canopy supporting her head, drinking tea and flipping through the new edition of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Upon hearing that the "dislike value" had been credited to her account, she squinted and looked ahead.

In front of the well, seven or eight family members stood in a row on the bluestone slab, busily washing clothes and bedding.

Judging from the occasional "dislike points" she receives, these family members are probably gossiping about the "disastrous cooking" she made last night.

She put a lot of thought into making a six-dish-and-one-soup meal that was both nutritious and so unpalatable that people would hate it.

Lotus root and ginseng can both enhance the body's immunity, but their flavors clash.

Adding sugar to stir-fried chives was inspired by Cantonese barbecue.

The first time she tasted grilled chives and enoki mushrooms brushed with honey, she was "amazed".

"Current mission progress: 9989/10000. The host only needs to collect 11 more 'dislike points' to complete the mission!"

Looking out over the unfamiliar scenery of this border town, Jiang Moli couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time had passed.

It feels like just yesterday that I came into this world, and now it's time to say goodbye.

"System, now that the 1 million reward has been credited to my account, how do I use it?"

Although trade is thriving here and you can buy anything without ration coupons, Lu Cheng, as a soldier, is committing a crime by possessing a huge amount of wealth of unknown origin.

"Host, if you need it, this system can provide a free purchasing service!"
