I have been farming since I crossed over.

When he came back in after washing, Lu Jintang asked, "Xi'er, how much food did you cook? Is it enough for how many people?"

Yang Mingxi was stunned for a moment and said, "There are a lot of dishes, about 50 people, what's wrong, are there too many people?"

Lu Jintang said, "When we arrived in Qingshui County, we met the people Lu Ba and his group had brought with him. We originally thought they would arrive a little later, but they've already arrived partially. The village kitchen didn't prepare any food, so I thought we could eat together here, but I was worried there wouldn't be enough food."

Yang Mingxi said, "How many people are there in total? If there's not enough, I'll help get some. It's no problem. You guys eat first."

Lu Jintang said, "There should be more than fifty people in total, but less than sixty. If the dishes are hard to prepare, forget it, just steam some more rice."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's enough. Go and prepare the table! Call Lu Er and the others to help serve the dishes. How many tables should we prepare?"

Lu Jintang said, "Prepare seven tables! I'll help you."

Yang Mingxi first handed the cold-mixed pork belly to Lu Jintang and said, "This dish is the smallest. I'll cook some more meat later. You guys can eat it first. I'll serve the rest in a bowl for you."

Lu Jintang said, "Thank you for your hard work, Axi."

Yang Mingxi placed the dishes in bowls and had Lu Er and the others take them out. She took the pea flour out of the water, cut it into pieces, poured in the seasoning, mixed it evenly, and placed it in a bowl and brought it to the table.

Continue to cook the pickled fish in the pot and tell Lu Er that the pickled fish will keep you full, and come in to exchange it if it's gone.

I found two large pieces of pork and put them into the pot where I had just cooked.

Use a basin to scoop out some of the rice, heat the rest in a pot, and then wash the rice again and put it into the steamer to steam.

After finishing all these, Yang Mingxi thought about going to the bitter melon field to take a look. There should be edible bitter melons. She picked a few and cut them up for everyone to taste.

Carrying a backpack, Yang Mingxi headed towards the bitter melon field. After walking around and picking five or six large bitter melons, she carried them back to Lu Jintang's riverside courtyard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he ran into Lu Jintang. Lu Jintang hurried over to take Yang Mingxi's backpack and said, "Where are you going? Isn't it heavy to carry such a heavy thing?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "I thought the bitter melons were ripe, so I picked a few for you to try."

Lu Jintang said, "Have you eaten yet? Make yourself some food and eat quickly. Don't starve yourself."

Yang Mingxi waved her hand and said, "No, you go and eat! Call Lu Er and the others to come over to change the dishes, and then bring the bitter melon over." After that, she started cutting the bitter melon.

Lu Jintang picked up a piece of bitter melon, stuffed it into Yang Mingxi's mouth and said, "Try it first. Is it sweet?"

Yang Mingxi ate it with a smile and said, "It tastes really good, sweet and juicy. Try a piece and see."

The two of them were in the kitchen, you fed me a piece and I fed you a piece, and soon they had eaten a large piece of bitter melon.

Yang Mingxi urged Lu Jintang, "Hurry up and get out. It's not good to stay here for too long. Take two basins of bitter melon with you."

Lu Jintang fed Yang Mingxi another piece before taking the bitter melon out.

Yang Mingxi cut the bitter melon, added more fire to the stove, looked at the rice and the cooking meat, then sat down, scooped a bowl of rice and vegetables, and slowly began to eat.

Tang Jiahang and his followers sat in the guest house waiting for a long time, but no one brought any food. However, the aroma of food from the front yard continued to come over. Tang Jiahang was so greedy that he could no longer sit still and got up and went to the kitchen.

From a distance, he saw Yang Mingxi holding a bowl of rice and some vegetables, sitting under the kitchen stove and eating slowly. From time to time, she would put some firewood into the stove and get up from time to time to check on the food in the pot. Tang Jiahang was jealous and really wanted to have someone like her by his side. How wonderful it would be!

Tang Jiahang was thinking about his own things, staring at Yang Mingxi.

Yang Mingxi, who was sitting and eating, felt someone was looking at her. She looked up and saw Tang Jiahang staring at her blankly, looking very pitiful.

Yang Mingxi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to bring him food. She quickly stood up and said, "Master Tang, I'm sorry, I was so busy that I forgot! Come over and help carry it, and I'll fill the food for you."

As Yang Mingxi spoke, she put down the bowl in her hand, took a plate and spoon, and began to serve food to Tang Jiahang.

Tang Jiahang stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Miss Yang. I'll bring it over right away. Wow, it smells so good!"

Yang Mingxi smiled, packed the food for Tang Jiahang, and brought a plate of bitter melon to him in the guest house.

When Tang Jiahang saw the bitter melon, he said in surprise, "It's ripe already? That's too fast! Let me try it and see how it tastes." As he said that, he took a piece and put it in his mouth.

After saying that, he couldn't wait to reach out his hand, carefully took a piece of bitter melon, and slowly put it into his mouth.

The moment the bitter melon entered his mouth, his upper and lower teeth gently chewed it, and a stream of sweet juice instantly overflowed his mouth, as if countless elves were dancing happily on the tip of his tongue. The sweet taste quickly spread throughout his mouth, fully awakening every taste bud, bringing an unprecedented sense of comfort. Tang Jiahang couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction, as if all his fatigue and troubles had dissipated in that moment, leaving only an endless sweetness and comfort rippling in his heart.

Tang Jiahang smiled and said, "This bitter melon tastes so delicious, it's sure to be a big seller."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "I'll lend you my good wishes."

After delivering Tang Jiahang's meal to the guest house, Yang Mingxi returned to the kitchen and took another look at the steaming rice. She gave it a bath and placed it in the steamer. She then sliced the cooked meat, placed it on a plate, dipped it in water, and carried it to the front yard.

"Miss Yang, is the food ready? The dishes you cooked are so delicious. Everyone is enjoying them so much that it seems like there aren't enough dishes." Lu Er walked into the kitchen and said with a smile.

Yang Mingxi said, "It's not so bad. Can you bring some more dishes over? There's still some left. I'll continue cooking the pickled fish. After I scoop out the roe deer meat, I'll add some cabbage and potatoes, and I'll have another big pot of food. I still have some pea flour, bring a bowl over to put it in."

Lu Er said, "Okay, I'll go call someone to change the dishes. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yang. Have you eaten anything?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. Come and change the dishes!"

After a while, about twenty men came over with vegetable bowls to change the dishes. Yang Mingxi was busy slicing the pea flour and let them add the dishes themselves.

After the meal was over, there was almost no food left. She added some fish meat to the stew, washed some cabbage and potatoes, and added them to the roe deer meat. Only then did Yang Mingxi pick up her bowl and prepare to eat.

The rice was already cold, so I scooped up half a bowl of the pickled fish soup and ate it with the rice. I saw the bitter melon and took a few pieces, sitting down and eating them slowly.

This bitter melon tastes really good. It is really produced in this space and must be top quality!
