I have been farming since I crossed over.

A few people finally finished the work in the production room. At this time, the sun was gradually setting, and time had unknowingly come to the second half of the afternoon. It was time to prepare dinner.

Yang Mingxi's face was filled with a bright smile, and she said to Lu Jinge, "Third sister, let's go cook together!"

Lu Jinge smiled gently and responded, "Okay, let's go now. This will also allow me to test whether my cooking skills have improved during this period."

"That's definitely no problem!" Yang Mingxi agreed readily. Then she turned around, looked at Minister Tang mischievously, and winked. "Brother-in-law, you'll have to take a closer look and guess which dishes were made by my third sister. If you can guess them all, there's a reward, right, third sister?"

Hearing this, Lu Jinge seemed to suddenly remember something, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

She lowered her head, her voice as small as a mosquito: "Well... there is a reward."

When Minister Tang heard this, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes. He looked at Lu Jinge with deep affection, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, madam, you have worked hard. I will definitely taste it with my heart and will never let you down."

Lu Jinge felt even more shy when Tang Shilang looked at her so bluntly, her entire face turning red like a ripe apple.

She quickly reached out and grabbed Yang Mingxi, saying coquettishly, "Xi'er, stop dawdling and hurry up! If you delay any longer, it will be too late."

As he said that, he pulled Yang Mingxi and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.

While being pulled by Lu Jinge, Yang Mingxi did not forget to look back at Minister Tang who was standing there. Somehow, some interesting pictures about this "reward" suddenly emerged in her mind. She couldn't help laughing, then quickened her pace and ran towards the kitchen with Lu Jinge.

The two people in the living room followed the figure that gradually ran away until it disappeared, and then they smiled at each other at the same time, as if they had telepathy.

Lu Jintang, who was the first to come to his senses, hurriedly greeted him warmly, "Third brother-in-law, please sit down. I'll make you a pot of hot tea."

Having said that, he turned around and walked towards the tea set with swift movements.

Before he could even start making tea, a voice suddenly rang out: "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!"

It turned out to be Minister Tang. He carefully scanned the table in front of him, but was surprised to find that there was not even a little food on the table in the Lu family's reception room.

At this time, his hungry stomach was already growling with hunger, which was really unbearable, so he didn't care about anything else and asked directly.

Hearing this, Lu Jintang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He looked up at Minister Tang in surprise and asked doubtfully, "What? Haven't you even had lunch yet?"

Minister Tang smiled wryly and shook his head, recalling the exhaustion of the past few days. He sighed and said, "Forget lunch! The last hot meal I had was a few steamed buns in the capital three days ago when I was about to embark on my journey."

After saying this, he seemed to recall the situation at that time, and a trace of helplessness and fatigue appeared on his face.

"What? You got here in four days? You can bear it, but those horses can't!" Lu Jintang was shocked when he heard it, and said in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

You know, the journey from the capital to this place is long. Even if you travel day and night without stopping, arriving here in just four days is an extremely amazing speed.

Minister Tang reached out and touched his chin nonchalantly. There was actually no beard there, but this habitual action made him look more calm and composed.

He slowly explained, "I kept changing horses along the way, traveling day and night without stopping for a moment. My personal servant stayed behind to handle all the aftermath."

Hearing this, Lu Jintang became even more curious and couldn't help asking, "What kind of urgent matter is so important that it's worth you rushing here at such a risk? Could it be that something unexpected happened in the capital?"

As he spoke, Lu Jintang straightened up involuntarily and his expression became serious.

"It's not all about this! Let's get some food to comfort our internal organs first, and then talk about other things." Minister Tang said as he waved his hand casually.

Lu Jintang stood up helplessly and said softly, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen. The weather here is too hot, and no one likes to eat sweet snacks. Besides, it's not like the capital where people here usually use cakes to entertain guests."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried towards the kitchen, saying, "I'll ask Axi to cook some noodles for you."

At this moment, two people were busy in the kitchen.

Yang Mingxi was concentrating on checking the various ingredients and condiments, thinking about what delicious dishes she could make to entertain the guests tonight.

As for Lu Jinge, he was squatting in front of the stove, burning the fire with great concentration. The water in the pot had already started to bubble.

"Xier, please teach me how to make the noodles you cooked for us at noon. Can you give me some instructions?" Lu Jinge turned his head and asked Yang Mingxi for help with an expectant look on his face.

Yang Mingxi didn't even raise her head, just focused on the work in her hands, and casually replied: "Hey, why are you cooking noodles now? Dinner will be served soon."

Hearing this, Lu Jinge couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

But she still insisted, "Good Xier, please be kind and teach me! I think your third brother-in-law may not have had lunch today, and he must be starving."

Yang Mingxi suddenly realized what she had just said to Lu Jintang and laughed unfriendly.

After laughing, he said in a clear voice: "Well, good! We are having delicious three-fresh noodles for lunch today.

The noodles are in the cabinet over there. If you want to make these three-fresh noodles yourself, I can tell you the general steps.

"Xier, you are so nice." Lu Jinge said with starry eyes.

"First, we need to prepare the shrimp, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. I have some leftovers from lunch, so they're in the bowl in the cupboard. You can use them directly."

"Then heat oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. Then add the shrimp, mushrooms, and tender bamboo shoots and stir-fry evenly. Add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil, and add a pinch of salt."

"Finally, add the cooked noodles into the fragrant and rich broth and cook for a while to allow the noodles to fully absorb the delicious flavor of the broth. Then a delicious three-fresh noodle dish is ready."
