I have been farming since I crossed over.

Chapter 121 Building a Workshop

The two people were as excited as children, dancing, jumping and leaping, and letting out a series of cheerful shouts.

Their faces were filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement, as if the whole world had become brighter. Fortunately, the people working in the fields were numerous and far away, and their noise effectively drowned out the cheers of the two men.

After the excitement, both of them walked towards the courtyard at the same time, wanting to come up with their own ideas and start them as soon as possible.

Arriving at Lu Jintang's courtyard, Yang Mingxi came in, looked it up and down, and couldn't help but admire it, "Your courtyard is not bad, it's a good size, simple and bright, it should be quite comfortable to live in!"

Lu Jintang smiled and nodded, then walked forward and replied with a smile, "Yes, I think it's good too. Although it's not particularly large, it's spacious and bright enough to make people feel comfortable and at ease. It's also decorated in a simple and elegant manner without too many cumbersome decorations, so it's very convenient and practical to live in."

After hearing what Lu Jintang said, Yang Mingxi couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Then she looked at Lu Jintang carefully again. She thought that these wealthy young men all liked to decorate their houses in a magnificent way.

She followed Lu Jintang into the house and looked around. She found that the furniture in the room was neatly arranged and the windows were well-lit, making the whole space seem particularly bright. She thought to herself that such an environment really made people feel relaxed and at ease.

The two sat down in the living room, and Yang Mingxi continued to praise: "This courtyard is really nice, it looks like it has a lively atmosphere."

Lu Jintang smiled and responded, "Thank you for the compliment. Actually, if I can live with the one I love, I will be happy no matter where I live."

"Then do you think this yard is too small? What will you do if your wives and concubines can't live in it in the future? Or should you give each of them a yard?" Yang Mingxi blurted out this sentence for some reason.

Lu Jintang looked at Yang Mingxi, who was a little jealous, and sat down seriously. He cleared his throat and said, "Yang Mingxi, I solemnly tell you again, so far, I only like you, and I will only like you in the future. I will not have any concubines, only you as my wife."

Yang Mingxi stood up and said, "Lu Jintang, I don't think I've agreed to be your wife yet! Also, although you didn't say it, you were born in a military family, and I'm just a village girl. Will your family agree? And what about your maids, fiancée and so on? What will happen to them?" Yang Mingxi's words were incoherent, as if she wanted to ask everything she wanted to know.

Lu Jintang looked at the agitated Yang Mingxi, pulled her hand and said, "Nothing. No maids, no fiancées. No matter how much I say about our family, it's better for you to understand it yourself. We don't have any prejudice against family status. My fourth sister-in-law was lost when her family fled the war. She was rescued by my fourth brother and later married. She has four children now, but she is an orphan who still hasn't found her family. And she is the only wife my fourth brother has."

Yang Mingxi's heart rippled as she listened to Lu Jintang's words. She looked at the man before her, her eyes gleaming with anticipation and curiosity. Could this man truly be the other half of her dreams? Could he be the one to accompany her for the rest of her life in another world?

Yang Mingxi decided to give herself some time to get to know Lu Jintang's family and their lives. Perhaps by spending time with his family, she could better understand if this man was worthy of her lifelong commitment. At the same time, she also hoped to find her own true happiness.

Yang Mingxi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand, Lu Jintang. Let's get to know each other a little better before deciding on future matters, okay?"

Lu Jintang said, "Whatever you want to know, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know. If there is anything I haven't explained clearly, you can ask Lord Tang, or my family will be here soon, and you can get in touch with them to get to know me better. But Ah Xi, the me in the capital is not the real me, so I hope you don't just listen to what others say, but also feel my good side with your heart, okay?"

"Puff." Yang Mingxi laughed out loud, then said, "How much of a scumbag are you in the capital? You're actually afraid that I'll ask your family about your embarrassing experiences in the capital. I'm afraid it's hard to change your true nature, and everything you do in front of me is just a facade?"

Lu Jintang also laughed and said, "Of course I'm not afraid of you asking me about my family, but when the time comes, it won't just be my family who will come, there will also be my enemies. Do you think they will say good things about me?"

"We'll talk about it when the time comes! I'm an adult with my own thoughts and judgment. I won't just follow the crowd."

"That's good. That's right. If you are someone who can make a decision based on what others say, then you are not the Yang Mingxi that I know and admire." Lu Jintang followed.

Yang Mingxi blushed slightly and quickly changed the subject, saying, "I want to build a few more workshops, each of which will produce a specific type of product. For example, the rice noodle workshop can produce all the ingredients for cold noodles: noodles, rice vermicelli, pea flour, guazhua powder, and even new varieties in the future. As long as it's in this category, everything will be made in this workshop."

After listening to this, Lu Jintang picked up a pen and wrote it down: Noodle Workshop. Then he said, "Let's call this a Noodle Workshop!"

Yang Mingxi's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, that's the name. We'll build a flour mill next to it, which will be used to make various flours. Next to the noodle workshop, we'll have both workshops operating on an assembly line."

Lu Jintang asked, "Do we want to connect the two workshops?"

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "It needs to be connected. But it also needs to be separable and able to operate independently."

"Okay, I'll take note."

"Next to the noodle workshop, there's a tofu workshop. And behind the three workshops, there's a large drying yard for drying tofu. It can be shared by all three workshops."

"Okay, I've recorded it."

"The entire slaughterhouse downstairs is where all the live animals are slaughtered, cut up, sorted and packaged, and then taken to the pre-processing workshop next door for washing, cutting and stringing. Next to the tofu workshop is a frying workshop, which can also be shared."

Lu Jintang said, "So from bottom to top, they are the slaughtering workshop, the washing and cutting workshop, the frying workshop, the tofu workshop, the noodle workshop, and the flour-making workshop. Right?"

"Hmm, let me see the layout you drew. Oh, that's wrong. It should be the other way around. The workshops should be next to the river for easy access to water, and the backyard should be convenient for drying clothes. Oh, and all the workshops should be built with a slight slope so that all the wastewater can be collected together and then flow to the slaughterhouse. Build a sewage treatment plant next to the slaughterhouse to avoid polluting the river water."

Yang Mingxi pointed at the workshop distribution map drawn by Lu Jintang and talked about the special requirements of each workshop. After a while, a row of workshops had been discussed and Lu Jintang announced that construction of the workshops would start tomorrow.

Then the two of them discussed the breeding farm and vegetable planting base, and temporarily prepared them around the ingredients for the snack stall.

Behind the Lu family's house in Changshan Village, a gentle slope has been cultivated for vegetable cultivation. Their main crops include cucumbers, green beans, cabbage, bamboo shoots, lotus root, and leeks. Seasonings like scallions, garlic sprouts, ginger, and chili peppers are also used in larger quantities, but the rest are mostly purchased.

The gentle slopes further up, sometimes steeper, are used as farms, primarily for chickens, rabbits, and pigs. Downstream, ducks are raised. There are also several ponds nearby, raising fish, shrimp, and other freshwater seafood. Most importantly, lotus roots are grown, though the seeds haven't been found yet.

On the top hill, you can plant some pepper trees, fruit trees, etc.

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, Lu Jintang also wrote down everything on a large piece of paper, and it seemed that he had filled up the entire Qianhuang Mountain.

Finally, the two people discussed that they should plant more potatoes and sweet potatoes on the gentle slope of the Lu family, as they would be used later. However, corn is the main raw material for feed and animal husbandry, so it should also be planted more. Therefore, the area should be well allocated and planted in an orderly manner.

After listening to it, Lu Jintang looked at what was written on the paper in his hand and felt as if the entire Qianhuang Mountain had come alive.

Call Lu Er and give the plan to him, leave the planting to Old Man Lu, communicate well with the person in charge of breeding and the one behind, take care of both sides at the same time, and start as soon as possible.

Lu Erdao said, "Yes, the workshop will start construction tomorrow. If we can arrange for manpower, we can start digging the fish ponds downstream!"

Lu Jintang nodded and said, "We have to do it as soon as possible. The snack street is almost finished. We just need to decorate it and then we can open it."

As the sun set, there was a bustling sound outside Lu Jintang's yard. Lu Jintang said, "Let's go. The seedlings have been transplanted. It's time to go eat."
