Chapter 11167: Exploding Laughter

Yang Ruoqing looked at Liu and said, "Fourth Aunt, you can't do this. I'm telling you straight, some of your unsightly habits are not suitable for cooking this kind of meal."

"What indecent behavior? Farting? Snoring? Grinding teeth?" asked Liu.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "No, no, no, I'm not my grandmother, I don't care about that."

"When I say indecent behavior, I mean you pick your nose in public, scratch your buttocks, rub your eye and ear wax with your hands, and even use your fingers to pick them up and put them in front of your eyes to look at them. If you do these indecent behaviors in front of others, they will despise the big pot of rice you cook, fearing that there will be boogers in it."

If Yang Ruoqing's words were measured by the standard of her previous quarrel with Tan, Liu would most likely be annoyed.

  The results of it?

As a result, Liu was not angry at all, but burst into laughter.

I laughed so hard that I couldn't stop.

This not only surprised Xiaohua and Xiaoduo, who were sweating for Yang Ruoqing, but even Yang Ruoqing herself felt a little puzzled.

Only when Liu had laughed to her heart's content did she stop laughing and hold onto Yang Ruoqing's shoulders to help her stand steadily.

"Qing'er, what are you talking about? Why do you look at a person so carefully? Not even the smallest details escape your eyes!"

"Tell me, if you were talking about someone else instead of me, I would laugh even harder."

"Qing'er, don't worry, just let me cook. I promise I won't do those habits like others do. I can bear it."

"Fourth Aunt, you said it. If you can really bear it, I will arrange this job for you." Yang Ruoqing said.

"This job not only provides two meals a day, but also a place to chat and eat, and you get paid, but you have to do what you promised me. If you can't do it, I will replace you halfway. I won't make an exception for you just because you are my fourth aunt. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. Qing'er, just put your mind at ease. I won't embarrass you!"

"Okay, I'll write it down now."

As she spoke, Yang Ruoqing pulled out a small notebook and a charcoal pencil from her pocket like a magic trick.

He wrote Liu's name on it and said, "We need to find a few more people, giving priority to the herb-collecting team."

"Qing'er, I'll go with you to find them."

Liu volunteered to lead the way and took Yang Ruoqing to find the aunts and sisters-in-law of the herb-picking team one by one.

Everyone was very happy to see Yang Ruoqing coming, especially when they heard that Yang Ruoqing's arrival would bring them work. Many women who had time free immediately asked Yang Ruoqing to write their names on the list.

The labor force for the village's post-disaster reconstruction work included guards Zuo Jinling and Luo Fengtang, the transport team, and villagers recruited from the village, a total of eighty people!

Providing two meals a day for eighty young and middle-aged men is a considerable workload.

Yang Ruoqing planned to cook in eight big pots at the same time.

Four are used to cook big pot dishes, and four are used to cook rice.

There are eight big pots, and 16 women are needed to prepare the base, with two women serving each big pot.

  After finding Liu, there were still 17 people missing. Yang Ruoqing walked around the herb-picking team and thought she could recruit all 17 women in one go. However, she found out that she was wrong. After a round, she only found seven or eight, leaving about ten more to go!

why?

Could it be that these women in the herb-picking team had money but didn't want to make it? Or were they deliberately not giving face to their boss, Yang Ruoqing?

Of course not. When they heard Yang Ruoqing coming to recruit the pot cook, their first reaction was that Yang Ruoqing wanted to take care of them first, and they also wanted to come.

However, there are not many women who can spare a hand, and the reasons for those who cannot are very similar.

That is, the men in their families had previously followed Luo Fengtang to join the post-disaster home reconstruction team. The parents-in-law are not at home, or they are in poor health. There are many children in the family and they are young. As daughters-in-law, they cannot leave the old and the young and go out to earn money to cook. They have to stay and take care of the elderly and children.

Liao Meiying is one of them.

Zhang Youfu had already followed Luo Fengtang to the village to drain the water. Liao Meiying had to take care of her mother-in-law, Zhen'er and Gui'er alone, so she could only regretfully not be able to participate in this pot-burning errand.

Some women in the herb-collecting team have parents-in-law who are in good health and can help take care of the children. They also have older brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law who can help look after their nephews and nieces.

So they could just ask Yang Ruoqing to write their names. The man was in the post-disaster reconstruction team, and the woman was in the cooking team. Together, the couple not only saved four meals a day, but also earned double the wages.

  This can be considered, more or less, as a subsidy for the floods in the wheat and rapeseed fields!

There are still a dozen places missing, but it’s not a big deal.

Some women in the herb-collecting team cannot go by themselves, but their sisters-in-law, aunts-in-law, and sisters who are not in the herb-collecting team can go as long as there is room for manpower at home.

Moreover, when the parents-in-law heard that their daughter-in-law was cooking, they knew that they wouldn’t have to eat the food at home every day and could also make money for the family.

Even the old ladies who usually don't want to help take care of their grandchildren have taken the initiative to take on the task of looking after the children.

Just like that, within a short while, without Yang Ruoqing having to move, someone brought the other women to her.

But Yang Ruoqing did not sign every woman she brought here.

The prerequisite is that the woman must look neat and tidy, not unkempt or dirty; secondly, the woman must not have any infectious diseases.

It is easy to judge this point.

First of all, we are all from the same village, and we already know who is like and what problems each has.

Secondly, it is to look at a person's spirit.

Spirit represents everything, so in less than an hour, Yang Ruoqing had selected the female logistics "soldiers".

Yang Ruoqing led the kitchen ladies and went out to the pasture in a mighty manner.

They brought their own spatulas, aprons and other things. As for bowls, chopsticks and big pots, they were also simple. A few village elders discussed it and talked to several households in the village to temporarily requisition their big pots.

When everyone fled, they couldn't take the big pot and other things with them, so they were still embedded in the stove.

So the first thing Yang Ruoqing and the women from the kitchen had to do was to go to the village and pry the pots open.

After the kitchen was soaked in water, the soil became loose. The female soldiers were used to doing heavy work, so they pried the big pot down in one go.

They went to the firewood room of a house that was not flooded and picked up a pile of firewood, which they put on the two small boats that Yang Ruoqing had prepared in advance. Everyone rowed the boats and passed by the group of men who were busy draining the water. The extroverted and lively woman would wave and greet the men.

For example, Liu saw Kang Xiaozi in the crowd.

Kang Xiaozi has already signed up with Luo Fengtang to participate in post-disaster reconstruction. Not only Kang Xiaozi, but also Yang Yongqing is included.
