I have been farming since I crossed over.

Chapter 176: Hot and Furious

After the morning exercise, Lu Jintang arranged Lu Er, Lu San and Lu Liu to help Yang Mingxi. The three chefs he found would arrive around noon.

Yang Mingxi said to Lu Er, "Brother Lu, go catch some fish. Then, get five rabbits, ten chickens, ten ducks, a fat pig, and a cow and bring them to the workshop! You'll be processing the ingredients there today."

Lu Er nodded and turned to leave.

Lu San whispered, "Second Brother, ask Miss Yang if we can catch more fish so we can eat the fish we just brought back that day."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Okay, but there are a lot of delicious food today. Are you sure you only want to eat fish?"

Lu Sandao said, "I'm very happy to be able to eat the fish that day, but it's even better if there's something delicious, then the happiness will be doubled, hahahaha!"

Several people went to prepare the ingredients according to Yang Mingxi's instructions.

On the Yang family's side, the five brothers of the Yang family and the two uncles of the Wu family were carrying, carrying, and hugging, preparing to go to the Wan family to get engaged.

Mrs. He thought for a moment and said, "Old Wu, you two should go together! Your second son was supposed to go, but he's not here. It would be perfect if you could go in his place!"

Yang Laowu and Mrs. Wu thought about it and agreed, so they quickly changed their clothes and went together to help their son get engaged.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Mingxi found Uncle Yang Liu and said, "Uncle Liu, take a look at the slaughterhouse. Besides you, we need a few more people. It looks like we have to look for them in the village. My brothers and the others are not here. You can't handle it alone, right?"

Uncle Yang thought for a moment and said, "How much food do you need to process every day? I can arrange for people. It's easy to find people. I'll find three people tonight and go together to process the food on the fourth day of the New Year. If it's not enough, I'll find more people."

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "Okay, ask Aunt Six to go with you! Please help me find four diligent and clean ladies in the village to start work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The wages are currently set at 25 wen per day, and I will discuss other rewards later."

Yang Laoliu agreed. Just then, Yang Laowu and Wu came out as well. They took their things and headed towards the Wan family in the village.

Only Yang Mingxi, Yang Mingqian, and their two younger brothers were left at home. Yang Mingxi found Yang Mingqian and said, "Qian'er, help me watch the fire today. I'll cook delicious food for you."

After saying that, she looked at her two younger brothers and said, "Follow your fourth sister. Your third sister will make you something delicious to eat!"

Yang Minghong smiled and said, "I'll take my seventh brother with me and follow my fourth sister, waiting to eat something delicious."

Yang Mingqing: "Eat... something delicious..."

Yang Mingxi began to prepare the seasonings and took a basket to the vegetable garden: she brought back some ginger, coriander, green onions, garlic sprouts, and also picked a few cabbages.

Back home, I cleaned and chopped all the seasonings and set them aside. Then I took out all the seasonings I had stored in my space. I found a pot of braising soup from the previous braised meat, so I took it out as well and saved it for later. Then I started preparing the other ingredients.

Yang Mingxi only prepared pea flour to make the cold noodles. She scooped the pea flour, added water and stirred it evenly. Then she boiled water in a large pot and poured the pea flour juice into it, stirring while pouring. When the aroma came out and the juice became thick and column-shaped, it was ready to be taken out of the pot, scooped into a basin, and placed in well water to cool until it was completely solidified.

The main part of hand-pulled pancake is the dough, which needs to be kneaded to be firm so that the dough can be made well. Egg cake is also a labor-intensive job, so we will make it after Lu San and the others come back.

Yang Mingxi found many bamboo sticks made by Old Man Yang and used them to string things together later.

After a while, Lu Er and Lu San came back with a cart full of food. It turned out that in order to have a delicious lunch, they asked someone to help them prepare the food and send it over quickly.

Yang Mingxi scooped a large bowl of white flour, kneaded it evenly, and handed it to Lu Er, saying, "Brother Lu, I'm going to use this flour to make hand-pulled pancakes later. I need to knead it more vigorously. Please help me knead it well!"

Lu Er smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, I know how to do it." After that, he took the basin and went to the chopping board on the side to knead the dough.

Lu San came forward and asked, "Miss Yang, what should I do?"

Without even looking up, Yang Mingxi asked, "Do you know how to beat eggs? Do you need to separate the egg white from the yolk?"

Lu San said: "I know how to crack eggs, but I don't know how to do the rest. Can you teach me?"

Yang Mingxi took a basin and a bamboo colander, gently placed it on the basin, picked up the egg, tapped it gently, and then gently poured the egg onto the colander. "See? The whole movement must be gentle. The egg must come out intact before you can pour it out. If it is scattered, put it in another basin and use it for something else later."

Lu San took a look and said, "This job is not suitable for me. I can't handle this kind of thing. You should assign me to do the hard labor!"

Yang Mingqian, who was watching from the side, said, "Fourth sister, I can do this. Let me do it!"

Yang Mingxi nodded and asked Yang Mingqian to beat the eggs. She said to Lu San, "Then you chop the meat! Come on, chop up this pile of meat. You know how to do it, right?"

Lu San smiled and said, "Okay, I can do this job." Then he picked up the meat with a basin and went to chop it aside.

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Liu and said, "Sixth brother, you have good cooking skills. Help me cut things! Slice the pork and beef. Don't cut them too big, just the kind that are suitable for skewers. I will use them for cold dishes, barbecue skewers, and spicy hot pot."

Lu Liu nodded in response, went over to find the corresponding ingredients, and started working.

Yang Mingxi washed out two large pots, put the previous brine into one pot, and put clean water into the other pot, and asked Yang Mingqian to light the fire.

Lu Er was worthy of being the person who had made cold skewers with him before. The pig's feet, pig's head, and cow's trotters had all been cooked, broken open, and cleaned. They only needed to be rinsed with clean water and then put into the pot to braise.

Fill a large pot with the feet and head of a pig and a cow, and braise them first. After removing the bones, put in the pig liver, pig stomach, a chicken, a duck, and a piece of beef. Braise everything in the pot.

Put liquor, green onion, ginger and garlic into a pot of water, put in four chickens, a duck, and a larger piece of beef, put them all in and start cooking.

I took two more chickens, the remaining eight ducks, and two large pieces of pork belly, put them in a large basin, added onions, ginger, garlic, liquor, seasonings, etc., marinated them, and roasted them directly in the roast duck oven later.

I picked up another ten fish weighing about 2 jin and marinated them with the same seasoning.

Lu Er finished kneading the dough and brought it to Yang Mingxi. Yang Mingxi nodded, took it and set it aside, then asked Lu Er to cut the fish. This meant separating the fish meat from the bones. The fish meat would be used to make fish balls later, and the bones with meat would be used to make pickled fish.

Yang Mingqian had also beaten the eggs. Lu San brought the chopped beef to Yang Mingxi and took over the task of beating the egg liquid.

Yang Mingxi and Yang Mingqian began preparing the vegetables. They peeled and sliced the potatoes, washed the cabbage, and cut the tofu into cubes. Yang Mingqian then left the rest of the skewers to her.

Yang Mingxi went to make beef meatballs and some tofu meatballs. After Lu Er finished preparing the fish, they made the fish meatballs together.

Then put the ingredients for the cold skewers into a pot of water and cook them.

Several people were working busily in the kitchen. When one task was finished, they started on the next one, having a lot of fun.
