Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

A lot of bamboo shoot and mutton buns were made. In addition to eating them at home in the evening, some were sent to the teacher and some children staying overnight at the school, and some were also sent to several close relatives.

After everyone was seated, the elders started eating, and the younger ones ate at a speed that could be described as a whirlwind.

"Qing Ning, how did you make this almond milk tofu? It doesn't have any fishy smell at all."

There are a few here that are not held in their mouths.

Green Lemon replied, "Just cook it thoroughly first, then add some lime juice and that's it. You can also add other ingredients to combine, but it depends on your taste."

"This is good. We will use it at the banquet."

Xu Minglang would eat the same thing as anything else and would use whatever he thought was good.

"This Astragalus, Morel, and Pigeon Soup is so delicious. I know the medicinal effects of Astragalus, but what are the benefits of eating it with these mushrooms and pigeons?"

Each person had a bowl of pigeon soup, and everyone savored it carefully.

"Grandpa Ma, these morels can help digestion and soothe the stomach, resolve phlegm and regulate qi, dispel wind and relieve pain, and pigeons are neutral in nature and belong to the meridians. Stewing these three together is very helpful for the weak."

“But the ratio must be right, otherwise it will lose its flavor.”

"Well, this is also good. We can use it at the banquet later."

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Minglang added another sentence.

"what is this?"

Yu Wu loves this dish the most, but after eating it for a long time, he felt that it was neither like tofu nor like tofu.

"Uncle Wu, that's tofu in chicken sauce. The preparation is quite elaborate and complex. It uses tofu, shrimp, and eggs. It's steamed, deep-fried, and then marinated in broth to infuse the flavor. This dish is the most labor-intensive."

"I originally thought that this healthy dish would just be a lighter dish with some medicinal herbs, but I never thought it would be so complicated, much more troublesome than those meat dishes."

Ming Miaoren kept smacking his lips at the healthy meals on the table.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that she had tasted the finest delicacies from land and sea, but now compared with these, what she had eaten before could not compare.

"It's not easy to maintain a healthy diet. Too much or too little affects the taste and function, while too little or too little loses the flavor."

Fortunately, she loves to tinker. She likes the small space in the kitchen, where oil, salt, sauce and vinegar can be transformed into various delicious dishes according to her wishes.

"Hmmmm, Qing Ning, how come you know so much and cook so well? Are you the God of Cookery in heaven?"

Xu Pu almost cried while eating this table full of food. It was really delicious, the best he had ever eaten.

Qing Ning must be the God of Food from heaven, otherwise how could she make so many things? Even the chef and cook in his family are the best, but they can’t make them.

"It's even better than the imperial chef in the palace. The chef in the mansion was also rewarded by His Majesty. It's hard to find such a taste."

Meng Jinyan continued. His words sounded a bit exaggerated, but it was actually true.

"Qing Ning, if you want to cooperate with me, we will specialize in healthy meals. How about you pay me 80% and I pay you 20%? With your cooking skills, you will definitely be able to open a restaurant all over the summer!"

Ten-year-old Xu Cong suddenly had an idea. This is a great way to make money. Then he can just lie at home and count the money. O(n_n)O ha!

"As expected of my son Xu Minglang, this is a great idea!"

"Uh~"

Qing Ning didn't know how to respond for a moment. Although it was a good idea, she didn't have the time.

"The limes are so small, and I have so many things to take care of on a daily basis. How can I spare the time to plant these new crops?"

Ming Miaoren looked at the father and son with dissatisfaction.

"That's right, Qing Ning is too busy."

Xu Chong was a little disappointed and unwilling.

"Eat first, and we can discuss some things later."

Xu Minglang will not give up so easily. No matter how many things there are now, there will always be a solution.

We finished the meal in one piece, and everyone was full and a little bloated.

When He Xin finished her meal and went to clean up, Xu Wubing had actually eaten most of it. He couldn't eat the rest. If she wasn't afraid of indigestion, she would have finished it.

After dinner, Qing Ning wrote down a few healthy and stomach-nourishing recipes for each of them so that they could change their tastes every day.

Because of the spring banquet at the end of March, the villages were also busy.

Some have worked with me before, some have not, all come to inquire.

Qing Ning took Xu Minglang to meet the village chiefs in various places. He collected the items that were useful, and gave suggestions for setting up stalls for the items that were not useful.

This year, the number of stalls has been increased by ten, and they are distributed evenly among the surrounding villages, but the requirement is still based on Qing Ning's proposal.

With more people and a larger quantity, we must not neglect the management style, otherwise the important people will be displeased and we will have no future.

All the villages naturally agreed, no one disagreed.

Xu Minglang added and modified a few of the recipes, adding a few healthy ingredients for that day, and also booked a new play, watching the troupe at home to hurry up and put on the stage.

The polo match also caused the officials to disperse early. Not only in Ruyi County, but also in neighboring counties, many people came to join in the fun after hearing the news.

This spring banquet was more grand than last year, with as many as two hundred households placing reservations. Xu Minglang had no choice but to follow the first-come, first-served approach, which would also offend many people.

The liveliness of the Spring Banquet can be imagined, and it is considered the top priority for the surrounding area.

Apart from the road construction, this is the most grand event.

Qing Ning still ordered four stalls, but added some new items.

Thinking about the needs of those nobles last year, he gave Yu San and them some unique toys, opened a side hall, put all the new toys on display, and sold them directly when the time comes.

What makes this year's spring banquet different is that we can stay in the villa for one night and there is a fireworks show in the evening, which makes it a perfect trip.

But with more people, more things to do, and more responsibilities, Xu Minglang dispatched a lot of servants to guard the house and also contacted the county government, not daring to be careless at all.

With the intensive preparations going on here, everyone in Chenjia Village, except the children, is busy.

Qing Ning didn't care and left the matter to Tan Yueya, while she concentrated on her few acres of land.

Time flies so fast, and the Spring Banquet is here in the blink of an eye.

There is no need to go into details about the situation, it is even worse than last year.

It was a coincidence or not, but Madam Xue and her group suddenly showed up that day, which was a big surprise for Qing Ning and the others.

"Second Brother Meng, why are you here? Didn't the letter say you'd arrive after Qingming?"

When Meng Jinhuai and others appeared in front of her, Qing Ning ran straight over happily.

"That's right. The messenger said the Xu family's spring banquet was moved up this year, so my aunt and uncle wanted to come over to see the fun. Old Madam Xue also wanted to miss the celebration, so she rode her horse day and night to come here, but it was hard for them."

Meng Jinhuai looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Lime, can't you see us?"

Guo Er came over with a big face and pushed Meng Jinhuai aside.

"That's right, when we first arrived, we only greeted Meng Er. What about us?"

Yu Er also pretended to be angry and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Qing Ning looked at them, smiling apologetically, "No, of course I saw it all. I'm so happy to see you guys."

"Qing Ning is the best. She must have missed us after not seeing us for such a long time."

Guo Xian helped her out.

A few people joked with her for a while, but since they were really busy, they didn't want to surround her.

"Hurry up and go inside and have fun! We've added a lot of new stuff this year, you probably haven't seen it before. There's someone watching over here, I'll go find you later."

Qing Ning urged them to go out and play, but it was so noisy outside that she couldn't get away.

"Okay, we'll go in. Be careful and come find us when you're done."

Meng Er didn't stay any longer, fearing to disturb her, so he took a few people into the garden.
