After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Indeed, as the comments said, the three of them worked together very quickly, and in less than two hours, more than half of the small pile of corn had disappeared.

"Do you want to take a break?" Pei Canxing was in charge of peeling the skins. He had gone from being a little unskilled at the beginning to being able to peel one in just a few strokes.

Moreover, Ji Wan, who was in charge of hanging them up, would take turns with him from time to time, so neither of them was very tired.

"It's alright, not tiring." Sheng Hanyu was in charge of stringing the peeled corn together. This job wasn't difficult either. He even had time to look at the corn kernels that had fallen on the ground and think about how he could collect them later to use as fish bait.

"Let's finish quickly, clean up early, and eat early so we can do something else this afternoon," Ji Wan said as he came over to take the string of corn.

"Brother Ji is right." Sheng Hanyu nodded, said nothing more, and continued stringing corn.

After a while, Sheng Hanyu saw that there was about a quarter left, so she called Ji Wan over, showed him how to string the corn, and went inside first.

What? Young Master, are you trying to slack off?

Are you new here? Xiao Sheng said he'd be making lunch, specifically hand-pulled noodles. Are you off preparing it now?

How can the guests still be eating out?

Yes, Pan Hongyu's group also gets lunch provided, but since they work in the fields with others, the host family prepares a large pot of food and delivers it to them.

It's normal to have meals provided for work; it's fine as long as it's agreed upon beforehand. Why should we go back to eat there?

So... does that mean Deng Lingxuan is the only one without food?

[It's alright, she has instant noodles. Ye Sanqing really had foresight, hahaha, who would have thought that Deng Lingxuan would be the first beneficiary of the instant noodle swap.]

[No, it's Ye Wanyin who's starving, haha.]

[I didn't go to her live stream. How's the firewood gathering going? Ye Sanqing gathered three and a half days' worth yesterday, but what about her? Half a day has passed, what's her progress?]

I almost died laughing when I heard that. Those girls, wow, they think they're going on a spring outing!

Ye Wanyin acted as if she were on a spring outing, and even tried to show off her knowledge, enthusiastically introducing the trees and mushrooms to the audience in front of the camera from time to time.

Then I looked inside the basket and it was less than a quarter full.

Because Ye Wanyin wanted to show that she was good at collecting firewood, she tried to pick out firewood of the same size and type.

But where can you find so many perfectly shaped pieces of firewood that fall naturally?

"Can't we just hurry up and gather firewood?"

Yesterday, Ye Sanqing was thinking of doing more things to earn points after finishing the loot, but this sister isn't in a hurry at all.

[Was this all planned in advance to piggyback on Ye Sanqing's points?]

No way! Master Ye works so hard harvesting cabbages, how can we let her get a share? This system is really unfair.

[That's the principle of this variety show, but in the past, at most, it was the type where people were only superficially friendly. As for these two... I guess even the director didn't expect to get guests who wouldn't even act.]

Zhu Song looked at this comment and thought to himself, "I know that so well! If I didn't know, I wouldn't have signed them over so quickly."

Ye Wanyin didn't care. She felt that she had performed so well today, and everyone would definitely praise her!

Sheng Hanyu went into the kitchen, washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, put on an apron, and started kneading dough with practiced ease.

[Xiao Sheng, I don't believe you haven't practiced.]

What an excellent man! He's equally at home in public and in the kitchen.

I must have a relationship like this in my lifetime.

Wake up!

Ye Sanqing is eating so well!

Are you talking about noodles...?

Seeing this hand gesture gave me an idea...

Your idea is good, but don't think about it yet.

Sheng Hanyu quickly finished the steps of kneading, rolling, and cutting the dough. She checked the time, went out to check on the progress of the corn, and came back to take out the meat and vegetables from the refrigerator, ready to start cutting.

Pork and cabbage noodles? That fatty meat looks delicious!

It's just a bit plain.

[They're already being generous by providing meals, why are you being so picky?]

It's time to order takeout again.

But does he really trust that Master Ye can finish it? What if the dough clumps up later if he starts now?

[It's obvious you don't cook much. Why don't you make the soup first, and then add the noodles later? Or you can wait until she gets back to cook them.]

[Master Ye really finished it, as expected of her!]

Ye Sanqing had already harvested all the cabbages from the entire plot and arranged them neatly next to where they were originally planted.

Then she picked up the basket of cabbages she had packed and walked back.

No, I have OCD. Just the missing cabbages in the bottom right corner make me feel terrible.

How heavy must this basket be? She seems to be carrying nothing at all, her steps are so light.

[Judging by appearance, about ten cabbages, weighing around fifty or sixty pounds.]

I'm a little impressed; I can't even lift a water jug.

[Hmph, what's so great about that? He just knows how to move some things.]

If you don't like it, you can go to other live streams; no one's stopping you.

When Ye Sanqing returned to the Liu family, he saw that they had also finished processing the corn, which was hanging in bunches on ropes in the yard, looking golden and quite spectacular.

When the old lady saw her return, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, come quickly and help me!"

This girl is too reckless; she didn't even push a cart over there, she just carried it back like that?

The old lady thought she was seeing things.

"Oh, Grandma, don't worry," Ye Sanqing said with a smile. "I can carry it."

As she spoke, she placed the cabbage in the corner of the yard that Liu Damei had mentioned earlier, and then she smelled an irresistible fragrance.

"Hurry up and wash your hands, dinner's ready." When Sheng Hanyu saw her come back, he scooped out the cooked noodles from the pot and added a handful more.

[Perfectly matched, I don't believe these two aren't telepathically connected.]

Why can't I smell fragrance on my phone?

You need a new phone; I can smell it.

Everyone sat around the table and began to eat. Ye Sanqing picked up his bowl of noodles and sat down in an empty seat.

"Xiao Sheng's cooking skills are pretty good!" Ji Wan didn't have high hopes, after all, there are quite a few people who put on a cooking persona on the show, and quite a few of them have failed miserably.

The noodles looked ordinary, but they were incredibly chewy, with just the right amount of pork fat, and the cabbage balanced the texture, preventing them from being too greasy.

Adding chopped green onions, cilantro, and chili oil makes it even more fragrant. Pair it with a little bit of aged vinegar, and it's absolutely delicious!

Ji Wan took a bite and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Pei Canxing was used to it, because he knew that his cousin loved cooking, besides fishing and gardening, and had loved studying cooking since he was a child.

It has to be said that Sheng Hanyu has some talent; she has never made a mistake when it comes to cooking.

However, he has been busy these past few years, and Sheng Hanyu is also abroad, so they haven't seen each other much. It's also been a long time since he's had a free meal with her. At this moment, he can't help but miss his younger days.

"Hehe, my brother's cooking skills are top-notch."

Pei Canxing was very proud of himself, and he puffed out his chest.

"Xiao Sheng, are you a chef?!" Liu Damei exclaimed loudly after taking a bite.

It tastes even better than the food at the restaurants in town!

"No, I just like to cook some home-style dishes," Sheng Hanyu said with a smile.

"Delicious!" Ye Sanqing praised, then buried his head in his noodles.

“If you’re still hungry after you’ve finished eating, just say so. There’s still some noodles left, and I’ll cook some more,” Sheng Hanyu said.

He was chatting with Liu Damei while making lunch. Liu Damei mentioned that her family still had a fishpond, but it had been abandoned for two or three years.

Their family had tried to start aquaculture before, but failed. After that, they lacked the energy and stopped, and they also didn't take care of the fishpond, so it has been abandoned ever since.

There was a hint of regret in Liu Damei's voice when she mentioned it.

Sheng Hanyu said she could help with the dredging, and that it might come in handy later.

They can exchange some grain for it.

Based on his understanding of the production team, this place is very likely to become popular later. If the villagers start some agritainment businesses, fish ponds will be an essential part of it.

After all, anglers understand anglers best!

He's been to many of these kinds of agritourism businesses and knows all about how to make money from them.

However, the job looked a bit dirty, and he wasn't sure if Ye Sanqing would be willing to do it together.

Although Liu Damei didn't know what might happen next, she felt that it was quite worthwhile to clean up the mess by spending only a small amount of resources.

After all, hiring someone to do it would cost at least several thousand yuan.

They keep enough supplies for their own use; they sell the rest, but they're not guaranteed to get a good price.

And occasionally, neighbors would say that leaving it unattended was affecting the environment, but seeing that it was indeed inconvenient for their family, they didn't urge them too much.

With that in mind, she agreed.

After she finished eating, she went to find her phone and called the village chief. She explained that she needed to inform the village about the dredging project and that she could also rent the village's pumping equipment.

Ye Sanqing raised his hand and said, "Another bowl, please!"

Sheng Hanyu cooked noodles for her and brought them over, then said to everyone, "I've talked to my aunt about helping her dredge her fishpond this afternoon in exchange for some supplies. Are you all going to join us?"

"How exactly do we do it?" Pei Canxing asked first.

"First, borrow a water pump to drain the water, then shovel away the sludge at the bottom of the pond." Sheng Hanyu looked at Ye Sanqing, "But there might be fish jumping around in the mud, so Master Ye will have to step in then."

"So I'm in charge of catching fish? Sure!" Ye Sanqing became interested as soon as he heard there were fish to catch.

"It's in the mud, it's a bit dirty," Sheng Hanyu pointed out.

"Who cares about the mud? When it comes to work, who's afraid of getting dirty or tired?" Ye Sanqing said. "Besides, I think you'd all agree that I'm the best at catching fish, right?"

Everyone shook their heads. You not only know how to catch fish, you also spear them and kill them!

Ye Sanqing said, "That's right. Since I'm so good at it, I certainly can't just stand by and watch you catch them."

“Okay, then let’s leave it to Master Ye.” Sheng Hanyu said to the other two, “We’ll be responsible for dredging the silt, okay? The supplies will be split equally.”

"Also, I don't know exactly how many fish there are. If there are too many, I might need to help with processing them, such as drying them and making salted fish. I know how to do that, so anyone can lend a hand. We'll see when the time comes," Sheng Hanyu added, remembering the unclear situation of the fishpond.

“Okay, I’m fine with it.” Ye Sanqing nodded first.

Let's go fishing!
