My Beloved Super Fierce Wife

Chapter 18: 18 Trying hard to smell through the door gap Chapter 18: 18 Trying hard to smell through the door gap That afternoon.

Once work was over, the Lin Family hurried back home without stopping.

The fellow villagers watched as the Lin family rushed home as if chased by a dog, giving each other puzzled looks, not understanding the reason.

“What’s the occasion at the Lin family? Why are they moving so fast?”

“Could it be that they are going to eat meat? Otherwise, why the rush?”

“You’re thinking too much. Apart from people in the city who get to eat meat, us farmers… better not dream about it!”

“Speaking of city folk, isn’t someone from the Liu Family about to become a regular employee? Wonder how that’s going now?”

“No matter what, even if they don’t get regularized, just being a temporary worker there is better than us.”

“True that…”

…

The Lin family turned a deaf ear to the villagers’ whispers – what did it matter if they were gossiped about a bit?

Eating meat was what mattered most!

Li Xiuli, carrying her family’s anticipation, washed her hands and entered the kitchen.

The chicken was no small bird; she decided to make a stew with pheasant and potatoes.

At that time, condiments were scarce, so cooking truly tested one’s skills.

Li Xiuli had been cooking for fifteen or twenty years, and her culinary skills were quite good.

Today, as she was cooking a special meal, she didn’t skimp on ingredients like she usually did; she cooked generously.

First, Li Xiuli rinsed the chunks of pheasant meat that Lin Qingmu had previously chopped, with clean water.

Then she scalded it with boiling water before setting it aside.
