I have been farming since I crossed over.

After a comprehensive and careful test of the cave, everyone finally completed all the tasks and began to pack up and set off on their journey back to Qianhuang Mountain.

The trip went much smoother than expected, and I actually returned home two days earlier than expected.

This made Yang Mingxi secretly relieved, because this way she would have enough time to carefully prepare for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang had just entered the house, less than half an hour later, when they heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar, accompanied by a voice anxiously calling Yang Mingxi's name:

"Xier, are you back? Xier..."

I didn't see the person, but I heard his voice. It turned out to be the third lady of the Lu family, Lu Jinge, who came to the door in a hurry.

Lu Jintang went out to greet her when she heard the voice. Seeing Lu Jinge so anxious, he couldn't help but feel unhappy. He frowned and said, "Third sister, we just got home not long ago. Ah Xi is washing up right now."

Lu Jinge didn't seem to listen to Lu Jintang's words at all. She pushed Lu Jintang away and walked towards the inner courtyard at a brisk pace, shouting loudly as she walked:

"Xier, Xier, I came to tell you something important!"

Yang Mingxi was standing in the bathroom, having just washed her pretty face with clean water, when she suddenly heard Lu Jinge's call and quickly responded:

"Third sister, I'm in the bathroom, can you wait for me for a moment?"

"It's okay, just do your thing and I'll talk to you." Lu Jinge said as he walked towards the bathroom.

As soon as he arrived at the bathroom, Lu Jinge immediately said, "Xier, look at my face. Does it look better?"

After Yang Mingxi washed her face, she wiped it with a washcloth before taking a closer look at Lu Jinge. She smiled and said, "The skin on your face has become more delicate and fairer. It looks better."

"Right! I think so too. My skin has improved because of the things you gave me." Lu Jinge said proudly.

"As long as it's useful." After Yang Mingxi said that, she gently splashed some space spring water on her face and prepared to go out.

"Oh, Axi, you're going out like this? Why don't you apply some moisturizer?" Lu Jinge quickly grabbed Yang Mingxi and said.

"No need, Third Sister, I'm usually like this, no need to deal with it specially."

As Yang Mingxi spoke, she pulled Lu Jinge and walked towards the reception room.

"Wow, Xier, your skin is so good! I'm so envious!" Lu Jinge wanted to reach out and pinch Yang Mingxi's face, but Yang Mingxi dodged him with a smile.

"Xier, let me touch you!" Lu Jinge started to act like a spoiled brat.

"No, Third Sister, my face will become allergic if pinched." Yang Mingxi said with a smile.

"Ah? Allergy? Forget it!" Lu Jinge got scared when he heard about allergy and quickly backed out.

She vaguely remembered Yang Mingxi saying that allergies could lead to death. So she didn't dare act recklessly anymore. She sat down in the chair opposite Yang Mingxi and said, "Xi'er, I want to start a business partnership with you. How about buying this moisturizing cream and cleansing cream?"

"Doing business? Third sister also knows this?" Yang Mingxi said with a smile.

"Since I've managed a shop before, I should be able to do it!" Lu Jinge said uncertainly.

"Then third sister, where do you want to sell it? Maybe we can really cooperate." Yang Mingxi thought for a while and said with a smile.

"Beijing! There is a large flow of people there and their purchasing power is good, so it will definitely sell well." Lu Jinge said, counting on his fingers.

"Sure. If you open a shop to sell, I will also open a beauty salon myself, but the prices there will be several times higher than yours, which is not bad either." Yang Mingxi thought for a while and said.

"Really? Xier, you are so nice." Lu Jinge danced with joy.

"Third sister, think about it carefully. There will definitely be no shortage of buyers for such a good thing. You will definitely make money, but hard work is inevitable. Do you have the energy to endure this hardship? Don't let it go after just a few days!"

Lu Jintang heard the noise in the reception room and came to the reception room. He heard Lu Jinge's business plan and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Thirteen, you can't deny me like this. You have to believe in me, your third sister!" Lu Jinge said with a pout.

"I only believe in strength, and it has nothing to do with closeness." Lu Jintang said directly.

"Axi, look at Thirteen, he's so annoying!" Lu Jinge turned his attention to Yang Mingxi.

"It's okay. With our beauty salon here, Third Sister's business will definitely be fine." Yang Mingxi comforted her.

"That's right, look at Xier, this is what a family looks like!" Lu Jinge said.

Lu Jintang: “…”

Lu Jintang glanced at Lu Jinge and thought to himself, "So this is what my third sister is like? She doesn't have the manners of an official's wife at all."

"Third sister, tell me about your business plan. Do you want to open a store on your own? Or become our franchisee?" Yang Mingxi said.

"Become a franchisee? I don't have much time to run a store, so I chose to be a franchisee."

Lu Jinge thought about it and said seriously.

"Being a franchisee can make good profits. I will then draw up a franchise contract. Sister San can sign it after checking if there are any problems, and then we can prepare the store." Yang Mingxi said.

"Okay, my work is over." Lu Jinge said with a smile, but then sat there motionless.

"Third sister, I'll go prepare dinner. Let's have dinner at our place tonight!" Yang Mingxi changed the subject.

"Xi'er, I'm starting to crave your cooking! How about this, I'll help you cook, and we can chat about skincare products while we're at it?"

Lu Jinge had a sly smile on his face and shamelessly approached Yang Mingxi and said.

Yang Mingxi smiled slightly and responded readily:

"Okay, Third Sister, no problem! If you have any questions, just ask."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the small and exquisite kitchen, her light steps like a dancing butterfly.

He continued talking to Lu Jinge who was following closely behind him.

"Xier, please tell me what skills you have.

I'm thinking if this skincare product could be sold as a complete set, it would definitely sell well!"

Lu Jinge asked excitedly.

Yang Mingxi thought for a moment, then stretched out her slender fingers, moving them while answering, "Well... a set should at least include an exquisite eyebrow pencil, which can allow women who love beauty to draw beautiful eyebrows.

There is also a gentle and effective facial cleanser to help clean skin dirt;

There is also a bottle of moisturizing lotion to keep your skin hydrated at all times;

Finally, I'll give you a bottle of this excellent repairing serum, specifically designed to repair and improve various skin problems. "Third sister, what do you think of my arrangement?"

Hearing the word "repair fluid", Lu Jinge's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed loudly:

"Oh my god! Repair fluid? You actually even know how to make this stuff? Xier, you're amazing!"

Lu Jinge smiled, her red lips slightly parted, and a few words made Yang Mingxi intoxicated and dizzy.

Her smart eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if everything was under control.

Yang Mingxi blushed and said:

"Oh, that's nothing special! These things are all one-size-fits-all. Once you learn one, the rest will follow naturally."

Despite being so humble, she couldn't hide a little pride in her heart.

The two of them walked side by side, talking and laughing, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the kitchen door.

Yang Mingxi gently pushed the door open and walked in first.

Then he turned around and looked at Lu Jinge behind him and asked gently:

"Third sister, what do you want to eat today? Let me see if there are any ingredients in the kitchen. If so, I can make it for you right away!"

Lu Jinge quickly waved his head and walked to Yang Mingxi's side, saying confidently, "No, no, sister Axi, I came here specifically to learn from you!

So, from buying vegetables, washing vegetables to cutting vegetables and cooking, I have to do all the steps myself and learn them well!

I believe I can handle every ingredient carefully, strive to master superb cooking skills as soon as possible, and make delicious dishes that make people salivate!" After saying this, he winked at Yang Mingxi mischievously.

Yang Mingxi looked up and down at the woman standing in front of her, and couldn't help but mutter to herself:

This woman is already at this age, but she still wants to learn how to cook to capture a man's heart and stomach?

She fixed her gaze on Lu Jinge with interest, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a half-smile.

After a while, Yang Mingxi said softly, "Well, in that case, let's try making some simple home-cooked dishes today."

While saying this, her eyes never left Lu Jinge, as if she wanted to see some clues from the other person's expression and reaction.

Lu Jinge nodded slightly to show his agreement.

The smile on Yang Mingxi's face became even brighter, and she then suggested:

"How about we start with a classic stir-fry?"

After saying that, she looked at Lu Jinge with expectant eyes, as if waiting for the other party to give a positive answer.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xier." Lu Jinge quickly changed into a comfortable piece of clothing and followed Yang Mingxi around.

Yang Mingxi continued to explain:

"Stir-fried pork is a classic delicacy, widely loved and sought after by diners for its unique flavor and tender and smooth texture."

"This dish sounds delicious. I can eat three big bowls of rice tonight." Lu Jinge interrupted.

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Next, I will introduce you to several common methods of making stir-fried pork. No matter which method you use, the stir-fried pork will taste unique."

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, she looked at Lu Jinge and asked her if she was ready to start.

Lu Jinge nodded.

Yang Mingxi continued, "First is method one, which is also the most classic method.

The main ingredients required include 2 taels of fresh meat slices, and the auxiliary ingredients include appropriate amounts of salt, starch, a little liquor to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, a few slices of ginger to add fragrance and neutralize the fishy smell, a small amount of pepper to enhance the flavor, a little dried chili, and some garlic sprouts.

The specific cooking steps are as follows: cut the meat slices into a bowl, add salt, starch, and shochu in turn and mix well. Marinate for a while to make the meat more tender and tasty.

Then heat the oil in a pan. When the oil temperature rises appropriately, add the ginger slices and peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the marinated meat slices and stir-fry quickly until they change color.

Then add chili peppers and continue stir-frying to allow the spicy flavor to fully blend into every piece of meat.

Then add the garlic sprouts and stir-fry quickly and evenly to make it attractive in color and blend the flavors.

This delicious stir-fried meat is now ready!"

Yang Mingxi explained the entire process of making a dish in one breath, then turned to look at Lu Jinge.

Lu Jinge took a moment to react before hesitatingly saying, "Xier, why is it so difficult to cook a dish?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Third sister, this is already the simplest dish. Some dishes take several days to prepare the ingredients."

"Okay then! I'll try my best to follow you and do it again." Lu Jinge said dejectedly.

"Third sister, actually, cooking still depends on the person who cooks it. Otherwise, even if the cooking procedures are the same for a dish, the taste of each person's dish will still be different, so you..." Before Yang Mingxi finished her words, Lu Jinge interrupted her.

Lu Jinge quickly said, "Xier, I know that cooking requires talent, but I still want to try."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Third sister, that's not what I want to say. What I want to say is that when you cook, think about the person you want to cook for, and your mood is sweet and happy, then the dish will definitely be good!"

Lu Jinge stared at Yang Mingxi with wide eyes, and after a while he said, "Is there such a thing?"

"Well, yes! You can try it next time." Yang Mingxi finished speaking, prepared everything, and asked, "Third sister, let's start cooking."

Lu Jinge quickly stood by the stove, watching Yang Mingxi's every step without blinking, and trying hard to smile.

After finishing a dish, Lu Jinge said nervously, "Axi, let me try it and see how it tastes. I'm really happy cooking this time."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Come on! It will definitely taste good."

Yang Mingxi didn't want to discourage Lu Jinge's enthusiasm. She had obviously cooked this dish herself. What did it have to do with her mood?

"Wow, Xier, it tastes really good!" Lu Jinge said excitedly after taking a bite.

"Then, Third Sister, how about we, your sister and I, be responsible for cooking for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion tomorrow?" Yang Mingxi said.

"Okay, no problem? I'll help you and make sure the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is beautiful." Lu Jinge said confidently.

Yang Mingxi was confused. How did she end up setting this trap for herself?

On August 14th, Yang Mingxi took Lu Jinge to the kitchen for another whole day.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, thanks to the efforts of the aunt and sister-in-law, ten delicious dishes were placed on each table, plus a basket of various mooncakes created by Yang Mingxi.

This marked the beginning of the Lu family’s reunion in Qianhuang Mountain.
