I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingxi thought about it and felt that the braised meat was indeed delicious. She also remembered that the braising liquid she had used to make the braised meat was still stored in her space, so she could just take it out and use it.

Yang Mingxi said to Lu Jintang, "Can you lend me some of today's wild boar? Our family has split up now. Since we killed a wild boar, we must send some to my uncle's family. I'll cook it for you after my foot heals, okay?"

Lu Jintang smiled and said, "We take the things into your house, you can arrange them yourself, you don't need to return them to me, we are only responsible for eating them."

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang and thought to herself, what a fool with so much money, he would be a bastard if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity, then nodded to show that she understood.

Yang Mingxi instructed Yang Mingyu to cut the ribs in half and cut each one into two sections, and then braise them together with the pig's head, pig's feet and pig's brain.

Pick out the lard and refine the oil. Cut the pork belly into ten pounds each, one for grandma and grandpa, and one for each of the other six uncles. Then tell them that they will have braised pork tonight, so they can make one less dish. At the same time, let my aunt borrow their pot.

After everything was arranged, the remaining pork was taken to the kitchen of Room 5, sprinkled with a little salt, and eaten while it was marinated.

After completing the preparations, Yang Mingxi returned to the fifth room and told her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zou, that there were six more people eating today and that everything would be the same in the future, and she would help with cooking.

Yang Minghu went back to till the fields. Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingxi were the only ones left in the fifth room to accompany Lu Jintang. They chatted about family matters while waiting for Yang Mingyang and the others to return from selling their game.

Lu Jintang looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "I want to hire someone in the village to help build a house, but I don't know how to arrange meals and wages. If I don't arrange meals every day, how much should I pay per day?"

Yang Mingxi looked at Yang Mingyu. She wasn't very clear about the wages in the village, but she thought she'd better ask the village chief about that. She shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either. Usually, short-term work outside is 15-20 wen a day, including food and lodging. But you'd better ask the village chief, Grandpa Zhang, about this matter, as well as the land deed for your house."

Lu Jintang nodded and said, "There's no problem with the land deed. I have it in my hands. Come with me to ask the village chief!"

Yang Mingxi stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go now!"

Lu Jintang and Yang Mingyu stood up. Yang Mingxi said goodbye to her sister-in-law Zou and said she was going out for a while. She asked her sister-in-law to cook the rice first and prepare the vegetables. She would come back to prepare the rest.

Zou replied, "Okay, I'll get it ready, you go ahead."

Yang Mingxi limped out of the fifth room. Lu Jintang saw that Yang Mingxi was still struggling to walk, so he supported Yang Mingxi and said, "Go back first. I'll use my internal energy to help you clear the blockage before you go out."

Yang Mingxi looked at her foot and almost forgot that she had sprained it today. It didn't hurt at all when she walked, but her movements were still a little uncoordinated. Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang and said, "No need, it doesn't hurt anymore, but I still feel a little clumsy when I walk.

Without saying a word, Lu Jintang grabbed Yang Mingxi's shoulders and carried her back to the fifth room.

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang's attitude and thought that if she didn't let him help her heal her wounds, he might eat her. She quickly sat down and asked, "What should I do?"

Lu Jintang said, "Just sit down." Then he began to use his internal energy to heal Yang Mingxi's injuries.

Yang Mingxi felt a warm current flowing through her body, flowing through her seven meridians and eight vessels, slowly circulating within her body, feeling extremely comfortable. She quickly closed her eyes to rest, and suddenly a message on the screen popped up in her mind: Drink the space spring water quickly to help detoxify and heal injuries.

Yang Mingxi subconsciously put her right index finger into her mouth and began to suck on it. After a while, she felt her body become much lighter and her ankle no longer hurt.

Lu Jintang slowly used his internal energy to clear Yang Mingxi's meridians. At first he felt some resistance, but then he slowly felt that his internal energy would automatically flow in Yang Mingxi's body, then gather and transform into Yang Mingxi's own strength.

Lu Jintang was shocked. Could it be that Yang Mingxi was also a martial arts genius?

After an incense stick, Lu Jintang withdrew his inner strength. His face turned pale. After a moment's rest, he said, "Miss Yang has an excellent body, especially suitable for martial arts training. Are you interested in practicing with me?"

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang, who seemed a little exhausted, and felt a little reluctant. She stood up, poured a glass of homemade water, and handed it to Lu Jintang.

Lu Jintang drank it in one gulp and felt that the water tasted better. He thought that he was thirsty, so he handed the cup to Yang Mingxi and said with a smile: "I am thirsty. I feel that the water in your house tastes better than the water elsewhere."

Yang Mingxi was startled, then suddenly realized that the water she had poured for Lu Jintang was actually water from a space spring she had added to it. After returning home, she first gave the water to her second sister, then to Zheng Huairen's family. Later, when she had more available, Yang Mingxi mixed some with water every day, placed it in a clay pot, and told her family to drink a cup each morning and evening. This was her homemade detoxifying and strengthening water, and she would occasionally ask Yang Mingqian to give a cup to her grandparents.

Yang Mingxi poured Lu Jintang another glass of water and handed it to him, saying, "You must be thirsty. My water is boiled from the well." After watching Lu Jintang finish drinking, she said, "Let's go to the wasteland to ask the village chief, Grandpa Zhang, and see how the reclamation of my wasteland is going."

The three of them arrived at the wasteland. Seeing only one corner of the grass remaining uncultivated, Yang Mingxi became excited. It looked like the entire field would be fully cultivated by tomorrow.

Yang Mingxi found the village chief, Grandpa Zhang, introduced Lu Jintang, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa Zhang, Master Lu wants to ask the villagers to help build a house, but he won't provide meals. I wonder how much money would be appropriate per day?"

Village Chief Zhang looked at Lu Jintang and didn't answer Yang Mingxi's question. Instead, he asked, "Where will you build your house, Mr. Lu? Have you prepared the title deed or other documents? Do you have a travel permit or identity documents?"

Lu Jintang looked at Village Chief Zhang and said, "I want to build a house on the riverbank next to Changshan Village in Qianhuang Mountain. I've already got the land deed and everything."

"Qianhuang Mountain? It's good enough that you have the land deed. The villagers can only provide some hard labor. If you want to build a better brick and tile house, you still have to find people outside."

Yang Mingxi was embarrassed. Yes, Changshan Village is full of thatched houses. Lu Jintang is obviously a rich man, so he definitely wouldn’t want a thatched house. Why not recommend it to his uncle and his family?

Lu Jintang nodded and said, "I'm building a brick and tile house. I hired a master from outside. He'll mainly do the hard labor. Village Chief Zhang, please help me. Is thirty cents a day okay?"

Village chief Zhang took a breath. Thirty cents a day was equivalent to the salary of two days of short-term work outside. Although there was no food provided, it was no problem as it was close.

Grandpa Zhang, the village chief, said with a smile, "We are all from the same village. If we don't provide food, just give us twenty coins."

Lu Jintang looked at Village Chief Zhang and said with a smile, "I'm new here, and the house I'm building isn't big, so I don't need many people. Thirty cents a day is all I can ask! Village Chief, can you please help me find twenty people to start digging the foundation the day after tomorrow?"
