Yu Dazhu happened to finish work and went into the kitchen to take a look.
He usually asks the villagers to stop working half an hour before meals so they can rest for half an hour before eating.
He washed his hands and came in to see what was being cooked today, but he was surprised to smell the enticing aroma as soon as he entered.
"Of course, it was brought back by the eldest and second eldest brothers. They said they wanted to add some dishes for the villagers, since everyone works very hard."
"Oh, by the way, they're processing those bighead carp in the backyard. Why don't you go help them out? I'll just make a couple more dishes here, and we'll be all done."
Pan Cuiping was worried that the two brothers would be so busy that they wouldn't even have time to eat.
"Okay!" Yu Dazhu nodded in response and turned to walk towards the backyard.
With Yu Dazhu joining them, the three of them worked incredibly fast and quickly finished processing the fish.

Everyone laughed heartily upon hearing this.
After finishing their meal, the villagers didn't rest for long; they only rested for half an hour before starting work again.
The Yu brothers then dried the fish pieces in the sun.
Yu Xiangcao also helped out.
Yu Chengyuan patiently taught the older sister how to spray the fish with white wine and when to flip the fish over.
Yu Xiangcao studied very diligently and memorized all the key points.
