Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11193

When they reached the small bridge, the two of them had to go their separate ways for the time being.

Luo Fengtang was going to the village to direct everyone in the post-disaster home reconstruction work, while Yang Ruoqing was going to the open-air stove at the foot of the mountain to supervise the women in the kitchen.

"I may eat here or go home for lunch." Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang.

"I want to say, after lunch, why don't you go home and take a nap? It would be good for you to restore your strength and energy." Yang Ruoqing asked Luo Fengtang.

He provided the money and the manpower, and given his status and position, he didn't need to do anything himself. He just needed to wave his finger and a bunch of people would come to curry his favor and want to be under his command.

But he did not like to do that. Apart from planning matters on the battlefield, he knew when to use the generals and when to deploy the troops, and when to go into battle himself, he did everything according to the situation.

When he returned to his hometown, he really did not put on airs when it came to the affairs of the villagers. He did everything himself and was extremely friendly and easy-going.

  So, no matter young or old in the village, when talking about Luo Fengtang, who wouldn’t give him a thumbs up?

Facing Yang Ruoqing's question, Luo Fengtang answered without hesitation: "It's winter, the days are short, I won't sleep at noon."

"Besides, I am full of energy and can handle it without sleep. But Qing'er, remember to take a nap at noon. You didn't sleep well last night!"

"Well, okay, that's it for now. Go and get busy. Don't worry about me or the family."

The two of them parted ways for the time being and went about their own business.

Yang Ruoqing walked for a while and came to a temporary kitchen built on a dry land at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, seven or eight large pots had been set up, and a large group of cooks were busy around them, some of them were boiling water, and some were kneading dough.

The kneaded dough is formed into steamed buns, all of which are large white buns, soft and lightly sweet. They are steamed in a pot after the water boils.

Next to it is a large bamboo basket used by farmers to carry fruits and other gifts for weddings. The carrying capacity of this basket should not be underestimated. Dozens of kilograms of rice and flour can be easily put in it. Use a shoulder pole to pass through the ropes at both ends, carry it on the road, and walk back and forth to the county town without worrying about the basket falling apart. In short, as long as it is within the weight-bearing range of this bamboo basket, this basket is very strong and durable!

At this moment, the small kitchen is preparing to use this large basket to pack white flour buns, and these white flour buns will be delivered to the men working in the village later, two buns per person, plus a bag of hot water.

"Qing'er, it's too generous to give everyone food like this. I'm worried that you will go bankrupt!"

Liu, who had no opportunity to sleep in the tent, was also busy around the seven or eight stoves. She held a bowl of freshly boiled hot water in her hand and stared straight at the big pot and the steamed buns in the basket. Her saliva was more than the hot water in the bowl...

As for what Liu had just said to Yang Ruoqing, Yang Ruoqing also understood the meaning of her words.

Because it was originally agreed to provide two meals a day, but now, an extra breakfast has been added.

Lunch and dinner were paid for by the Luo family and the villagers, but breakfast was paid entirely by the Luo family themselves.

"Aunt Four, it's not that serious. It's just a few steamed buns. It won't bankrupt our Luo family." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Liu said: "They are all white flour buns, without any grains mixed in. They are ridiculously real. You don't feel bad about it, but I do!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled, raised her hand and patted Liu's shoulder: "It's okay, Fourth Aunt, I can afford it."

"If this morning meal is not provided, the men will have to work all day on an empty stomach and eat at noon, and their bodies will not be able to bear it," Yang Ruoqing added.

As Luo Fengtang said before, it is still the first month of the year, and spring has not officially started. Although the daytime is gradually getting longer than before the New Year, it is still relatively short overall. The three hours from dawn to noon are the golden time for doing things and working.

Therefore, breakfast must be provided to everyone, otherwise everyone will feel dizzy and have no energy to work in the morning.

"Fourth Aunt, there will definitely be some leftover steamed buns later. You can eat them when there are some. The men who are working should be taken care of first." Yang Ruoqing reminded Liu again before leaving.

If it were any other woman, she would definitely be very unhappy with this reminder and feel that Yang Ruoqing was looking down on her.

But when it came to Liu, she was like a child whose secrets were revealed. She laughed and nodded repeatedly, and even patted her chest to assure Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, don't worry. I will definitely not cheat. I will also help you keep an eye on other people and not allow them to cheat."

"Cough cough."

Yang Ruoqing coughed twice and interrupted Liu's words.

It was really getting more and more outrageous. If the other women who were cooking heard this, she wouldn't know where to put her face.

As for the others, even if they stole food, they couldn’t eat much. The key was Liu.

Liu was a cheating person who had no sense of propriety. She might have eaten the men's share...

"Okay, you guys keep busy, I'll go take a walk around the pasture."

Yang Ruoqing went to chat with the female captain of the kitchen cooks for a few more words, then turned around and prepared to go to the pasture.

But in my heart, I was thinking, maybe it was influenced by Liu, I actually felt that the steamed buns in the steamer and the big basket were so tempting, fragrant, sweet and soft, I really wanted to bring a few to Duoer's children, and Ga Gong...

  But I was too embarrassed to take the initiative to speak up. After all, I was the one who set these rules. How could I take the lead in breaking them?

"Qing'er, wait a moment!"

The captain of the kitchen's female army, a woman in her early forties named Xiuxia, came over with a smile and stuffed a hot white flour bun wrapped in a washed rice dumpling leaf into Yang Ruoqing's hand.

"Qing'er, we have prepared the steamed buns for the men. We have fermented a little too much dough today, and the men can't eat that much. You can take these steamed buns with you to fill your stomach."

Mrs. Xiuxia is also a very capable woman in the herb-collecting team. Her husband and brother-in-law are both in the transport team, and their family lives a colorful life in the village.

Xiuxia herself is also a smart woman, and you can tell by looking at what she is doing now.

Yang Ruoqing did not refuse. After all, she had paid for the wheat flour with her own money. Sister Xiuxia was just doing her a favor, and it happened to be what Yang Ruoqing needed at the moment.

"Sister Xiuxia, have you guys saved enough food for later?"

Xiuxia said, "Why isn't it enough? There are still a lot of steamed buns. Go ahead and do your work. I won't keep you from doing anything."

Yang Ruoqing took the steamed buns and left, going to the grassland.

After arriving at the pasture, she went to Xiaoduo and gave some steamed buns to the three sisters Lingling, Jiaojiao and Rourou.

Just then, Mrs. Da Sun came to visit, and Yang Ruoqing gave three to Mrs. Da Sun to take back, and gave the remaining one to Xiao Duo.
