Chapter 77: A good man should be able to enter the hall and enter the kitchen

~8 min read 1,461 words

After Jiang Ye finished delivering the food, he quickly returned to cook noodles.

Cooking noodles didn't require any technical content, didn't need any skills; boil water, put noodles in when the water boils, scoop them up when they're cooked, add some salt, soy sauce, stir, and they could be eaten.

Jiang Ye had been training in secret for many years, executing special missions, and was irregularly dropped into training grounds like rainforests.

For food, as long as it could fill his stomach, he had no other pursuits.

However, in the afternoon, his brother-in-law's loud voice was really loud through a wall—

"Brother-in-law, put in two more handfuls of noodles, I'm coming to mooch a meal~"

Lu Xiu Bai ran over with a grin, not feeling embarrassed at all.

On the contrary, he felt he was a genius!

Living next to his sister was great; his brother-in-law could cook, and he could mooch a meal from time to time, perfect!

He didn't even need to light his own fire!

Of course, he was afraid of burning the kitchen if he lit the fire.

His wife was also used to eating the canteen food at the hospital, and her cooking skills were zero.

It was foreseeable how colorful their married life would be in the future...

Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows; his brother-in-law was really pushing his luck.

He had the responsibility and obligation to raise his wife.

This brother-in-law was going too far.

"Come over, I'll only teach you once. If you can't learn it, you deserve to starve."

"Why so serious? I'll come take a look~"

Lu Xiu Bai didn't take it seriously; he wasn't afraid of his brother-in-law's cold face.

If he had the guts, he should show a cold face in front of his sister. If he scared his sister, let's see if he sleeps in the master bedroom or the guest room tonight!

Jiang Ye took a handful of fine noodles from the cupboard and, while demonstrating, taught him in an earnest tone:

"There is a saying: grab a woman's stomach, and you can firmly grab a woman's heart."

"Ah?"

It was the first time Lu Xiu Bai heard this saying. What kind of logic was this?

"A good man should be able to enter the hall and enter the kitchen.

Look at me, didn't I take good care of my wife?

Look at you again, it's already this late, and you don't even know how to boil water, wash clothes, or make breakfast.

If it weren't for your wife having a good temper, any other man who was so lazy, useless, and couldn't do anything would have been despised by his wife long ago."

Jiang Ye sprinkled a pack of noodles, two hundred grams, enough for the two big men to be half-full.

As for being full?

Please, today is Sunday, and there's no training mission. Just accompany your wife; do you need to be very full?

"That makes sense. No wonder you kid chased after my sister; it turns out you learned it secretly. Teach me, and if I learn it, I won't have to mooch meals at your house, right?"

Lu Xiu Bai took it to heart; it seemed that was the logic.

Every time he saw Jiang Ye, the other party was either washing clothes, hanging bedsheets, or cooking.

In contrast, he seemed a bit incompetent.

At this moment, a man's competitive spirit soared again.

"Start with boiling noodles, boil the water, put the noodles in..."

In order to have peace in the future, Jiang Ye really had the intention of teaching his brother-in-law basic cooking.

Boiling noodles was the simplest.

If he planted some small green vegetables in the future, he could throw a few leaves in.

Now the small courtyard was bare, and no vegetables had been planted yet.

After Shen Man finished a bowl of porridge, her belly was warm, and her taste buds were satisfied.

The porridge was delicious, and the person who stewed the porridge was even better!

While her brother was still pestering Brother Jiang Ye to learn cooking in the kitchen, she took two sanitary napkins from the box and put them in her bag.

Tangyuan indicated it wouldn't go out and was willing to guard the house on the roof.

Shen Man put a piece of sponge cake and a few small dried fish on a plate on the table in the room.

She also poured a bowl of water and dripped a drop of Spiritual Liquid into it.

She discovered that Tangyuan's volume had grown.

Although she didn't know if it was natural growth or unnatural growth, it was a good thing anyway.

As a master, she wouldn't be stingy with Spiritual Liquid.

After buying wedding candies and mailing the package today, she also wanted to buy some bottles and jars to make fruit cans and fruit wine.

At this time of year, the island's fruit production is abundant.

There are mangoes, jackfruit, lychees, longans, yellow skin, starfruit, wax apples, watermelons, guavas, etc...

Fruit cans and fruit wine are easy to store, and dripping Spiritual Liquid into them is not easily detected.

Grandfather still has ten bottles of wine in his hand, and in another month, they will be ready to drink.

Grandfather is addicted to sweetness, but he is controlling his sugar intake, otherwise, high blood sugar will break out, and his blood vessels won't be able to take it.

Instead of worrying about Grandfather secretly eating high-sugar fruits, she might as well make some fruit cans and fruit wine mixed with Spiritual Liquid to satisfy his cravings.

Besides Grandfather, she couldn't miss Division Commander Duan.

Although Jiang Ye didn't say it, she could feel his respect and gratitude toward Division Commander Duan in his heart.

Thinking of making fruit cans, it was also her own experience during this period, the magical effect of Spiritual Liquid.

As long as the dilution ratio is controlled, the effect of Spiritual Liquid is immediate!

It will accelerate wound healing and recovery time from illness.

It has a certain miraculous effect on eliminating fatigue, the tiredness of staying up late, and the hidden illnesses of the body.

She had secretly experimented with this on her brother, Brother Jiang Ye, and Grandfather for a few days.

She added Spiritual Liquid to their water source in small amounts and multiple times, and after observing for a few days and taking their pulses, the hidden injuries almost disappeared.

Perhaps, in the dark, her transmigrating into the book, obtaining the golden finger, following the army to the Sea Island, and finding her true love were all heaven's will.

Her fit with the original body was perfect.

Her feelings for Grandfather, Brother, and her late mother were far deeper than for her parents and friends in her past life.

Now, she had two more relatives, Brother Jiang Ye and Sister-in-law Yan Ting.

And Division Commander Duan, Sister Wang, and others who were good to her.

For her own people, she wouldn't be stingy with rewards.

Lu Xiu Bai ate three full bowls of plain noodles, which satisfied him.

"Brother-in-law, you go accompany my sister, I'll clean up the kitchen."

He still had self-awareness; he wouldn't eat for free, so he would provide labor.

"We won't be home at noon, the kitchen won't be locked. If you and your sister-in-law want to eat anything, cook it yourselves."

The implication was that the ingredients in the kitchen could be taken, just keep it clean.

He didn't want to see a messy kitchen when he got home; that would ruin his good mood.

"Got it, got it."

Lu Xiu Bai responded carelessly, thinking he would try boiling noodles here at noon.

Brother-in-law was right; a good man should be able to enter the hall and enter the kitchen.

He couldn't help but imagine, if he succeeded in his studies, wouldn't he be able to grab his wife's stomach and make her unable to resist him?

No, be obedient to him, be gentle to him?

*Ahem*, stop—

"Brother, we're leaving. I put Tangyuan's food on the table in the room. You don't need to worry about it, just let it be."

Before leaving, Shen Man greeted her brother, saving her brother from having a sudden inspiration and feeding Tangyuan something he shouldn't.

"Got it, got it. You guys go get busy."

Lu Xiu Bai waved his hand carelessly, thinking he wasn't that unreliable; it was just a cat, why would he care about it?

Little did he know, by the time he finished cleaning up, the cat he didn't care about was already rubbing its head against his wife's chest, meowing and acting spoiled, and the look it gave him was naked provocation! ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
