Su Fengchen nodded and said, “Yes, they’re all done. They’re in the back room. I’ll go get them for you.” He had accumulated as many duck eggs as possible and had almost a hundred of them.

He had pickled the duck eggs according to Su Binglan’s instructions. Although Su Fengchen did not know how his niece had thought of pickling the eggs in such a way, he did not doubt her when he thought of how Su Binglan was when she was a child.

His little niece had been clever since she was a child and was unique compared to others. Moreover, a monk once came to Su Teng village and commented on Su Binglan’s intelligence.

Su Fengchen vaguely knew what the monk said. Therefore, the Su family would not doubt the changes in Su Binglan.

Su Binglan looked at the pickled salted duck eggs and preserved eggs. She said smilingly, “Open one and try it, Uncle Fengchen.”

Su Fengchen had never tasted such a thing before. He was surprised when he opened the salted duck eggs and saw its orange yolk.

“Wow, how did the yolk change like that? It’s runny and flowing with oil.” Su Fengchen looked curious.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan picked up the yolk with her chopsticks and handed it to Su Fengchen. “Here, try some.”

Su Fengchen took a bite out of curiosity and was amazed. He stared at the salted duck egg with widened eyes. After a long while, he finally found his voice, “The pickling has wholly changed the egg’s taste.”

Su Binglan smiled, “Do you like how it tastes, Uncle Fengchen?” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Su Fengchen nodded. “It’s delicious, Binglan. I’ve never eaten a duck egg with such a flavor before. This is called salted duck egg, right?”

Su Binglan explained, “Yes, it is. You don’t have to eat it on its own. You can eat it with a steamed bun or make another dish with them.”

Su Fengchen was ecstatic at that moment. “It’s perfect. I think my duck eggs will sell well if I continue pickling them like this.”

Since he severely injured his hands, Su Fengchen had not shown much emotion. But at that moment, he was excited that he had pickled the eggs independently.

Many ordinary families raised ducks and chickens, and they were self-sufficient. In addition, the current year was quite terrible, and everyone tried to save as much money as possible, so not many bought eggs.

Ads by Pubfuture There were wealthy families in town and townsfolk who raised ducks and chickens. The wealthy families would typically go to stalls that specialized in selling eggs and buy them from there.

Therefore, Su Fengchen would have trouble selling his eggs even if he sold them at the market. But he was no longer concerned after tasting the duck eggs.

Su Binglan removed a preserved egg, peeled it, cut it in two, and handed it to Su Fengchen. “Now, try this one, Uncle Fengchen.”

Su Fengchen was surprised when he saw the preserved egg’s color. He realized eggs made with different methods would look dissimilar to each other.

He bit into the egg and praised, “W-Wow, this one is fragrant and different from the salted egg. Still, it’s delicious.”

Su Binglan could not help but smile when she saw her uncle grinning. She felt her uncle’s lively aura.

Whenever Su Binglan visited her uncle in the past, she thought he was lifeless, like stagnant water. But he was better now. Su Binglan knew one would feel rejuvenated whenever one felt hopeful.

“Uncle Fengchen, you should raise more ducks and chickens. Don’t worry about not being able to sell their eggs. You can turn their eggs into salted eggs or preserved eggs.

“You can also use the duck’s neck and head to make delicious foods. Your right hand will feel better if you eat those things.”

If Su Binglan had said such things in the past, her uncle might have thought she was simply comforting him. But after witnessing Su Binglan’s changes, Su Fengchen knew she was being sincere.

Su Fengchen’s eyes reddened as he said, “T-Thank you for this, Binglan.”

Su Binglan’s heart became heavy when she saw her uncle’s teary eyes. She could understand how he felt.

The Su family had spent most of their savings to send Su Fengchen to school. He did well in his studies, and many had high hopes for him. He would have had a different life if he had taken the imperial exams and graduated.

He would not have issues becoming a scholar with the knowledge he gathered. However, he severely injured his right hand before autumn and could no longer take the imperial exams.

Then the Su family went into debt to treat his hand, while the money they spent sending him to school went down the drain. Su Fengchen blamed himself and could never get over it. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

!!

He wanted to work hard and earn back the money his family had spent, but it was extremely tough with a crippled hand. His personality significantly changed after experiencing these things.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan did not know how to make Su Fengchen better. She pondered and said, “Uncle Fengchen, our world is not peaceful. The most crucial thing in troubled times like these is to have a supportive family.

“Moreover, we should not think everything is fine in the imperial court. Who knows when things might change. It’s okay that you didn’t take the imperial exams. A united and stable family is more vital than anything else.”

Su Fengchen trembled when he heard his niece’s words. She seemed to have enlightened him. Suddenly, he felt a massive burden lift from his shoulders. He was in disbelief that Su Binglan would say such things.

It was not something an ordinary country girl would say, even one who had attended school before. Even Su Fengchen was not as open-minded as his niece.

Still, he had to admit, “Y-You’re right, Binglan. That was a great regret in my heart.”

Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s good that you can reclaim yourself, Uncle Fengchen. I think grandmother and grandfather won’t want you to be a high-ranking official anyway. They only wanted you to have a better life.”

Those were things Su Fengchen was glad to hear.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan continued, “Uncle Fengchen, the townsfolk usually sell chicken and duck eggs for two to three coins. We will sell the salted and preserved eggs in town for five coins each.”

After some thought, Su Fengchen said, “Isn’t that a little expensive?”

Su Fengchen had no experience doing business and was typically more introverted. If he were to sell the eggs in town, his mother, Old Madam Su, would have to help him.

If it were up to Su Fengchen, he would just sit at the stall and do nothing if no one came up to him. But if someone came to bargain with him, the person would easily persuade him, and he would sell the eggs at a lower price.

That was why Su Fengchen did not make much raising ducks and chickens. He would only make a decent amount of money selling his raised pigs. Still, he thought five cents for his pickled eggs were expensive.

Su Binglan wanted to laugh when she looked at her uncle. She felt he was too honest and a push-over. She knew doing business would not suit such a person. Su Fengchen was more suited to arrange stuff in the background while others handled customers.

However, Su Binglan knew she could change her uncle’s personality. People would constantly improve and learn, after all.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Fengchen. Five coins aren’t expensive because the salted and preserved eggs are rare. Other sellers would not have this sort of thing, so people would practically fight to buy these eggs for five coins.”

Su Fengchen nodded. “A-All right, we’ll set the price according to what you said.”

Su Binglan had convinced her uncle that things would be okay. However, Su Fengchen once again considered what the monk said.

Su Fengchen thought what the monk said was true. He knew his niece would one day spread her wings and soar like a phoenix rising from its ashes. Neither the villagers nor townsfolk would be able to keep up with Su Binglan then.

The monk also said Su Binlan was the ordinary folks’ lucky star. Su Fengchen became conflicted at that thought.

Su Binglan noticed her uncle’s strange gaze and touched her face. Then she asked, “I-Is there something on my face, Uncle Fengchen?”

Only then did Su Fengchen realize his niece had distracted him. He hurriedly shook his head and said, “I-It’s nothing. I just think you’re a competent person, Binglan.”

!!

Su Binglan did not overthink it. She only thought her uncle was complimenting her, so she said smilingly, “You’re too kind, Uncle Fengchen.”

The two were talking when Old Master Su and Old Madam Su returned.

Ads by Pubfuture The two elders felt sorry for their youngest son and usually helped feed the chickens, ducks, and pigs. The couple had just returned from harvesting hogweed on the mountain.

The two revealed loving smiles when they saw their granddaughter.

“Hello, Binglan. Come, have a seat.” Old Madam Su hurriedly dropped her bag of hogweed and rushed over to pull Su Binglan into their house.

Su Binglan looked at her grandparents’ gray hair and felt a sourness in her heart. They were already old but still hard working. She did not want them to feel tired, only to retire.

She could earn money now and be dutiful to her grandparents, yet the elderly couple said they would feel uncomfortable if they did not work.

With that, Su Binglan could only think of giving them easy jobs. Therefore, she thought of telling them to weave small baskets and make some handicrafts because she also wanted to open a souvenir shop.

“I-It’s okay, Grandma. I’ve been sitting down for a while now. You and grandpa should sit down and rest instead.”

Old Madam Su said smilingly, “Your grandpa and I aren’t tired. We can rest assured now that we see you’re living a good life. You’re such a sensible child for wanting to help your uncle.”

Su Binglan said, “We are family, so we should help each other.”

Ads by Pubfuture Old Madam Su said, “You’re right.” She knew only a united and harmonious family could make a living.

Old Madam Su seemed to have thought of something as she spoke. She said, “Oh, your grandfather and I made that little flower basket you talked about. What do you think?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Old Madam Su went to another room as she spoke to remove the basket she had knitted. The flower basket was small but clean, exquisite, and beautiful.

Su Binglan’s eyes lit up when she looked at it. “You did an excellent job, Grandma and Grandpa.”

Old Madam Su held the little basket and said, “Weaving something like this is straightforward and won’t take much effort, but what’s the use of this? Even farmers use bigger baskets.”

The little basket looked appealing to the elderly couple, but they thought it was not practical. Still, the elderly couple just listened to their granddaughter and only cared for her happiness.

Su Binglan explained, “I plan to use these little baskets as packaging for my desserts.”

“P-Packaging?” Old Madam Su felt puzzled because the basket was small and could not hold many things.

Su Binglan nodded and said, “Grandma, look. I can put three pieces of dessert in it, hold it like this, and make the desserts feel more expensive. Don’t you think so?”

Old Madam Su finally understood what her granddaughter meant and said, “Indeed, it looks more precious that way.”

“Yes, if a wealthy family buys my desserts, they can give them to their children as gifts, making them seem like they have good taste,” Su Binglan continued.

Old Madam Su held her granddaughter’s hand and smiled lovingly. She patted the back of Su Binglan’s hand and said, “You’re amazing for thinking of such things.”

Ads by Pubfuture 124 Skillful and Diligent

Su Binglan felt so flattered that she blushed. The Su family still spoiled her and treated her like a child.

Su Binglan continued, “I will display the baskets in the shop and sell them for two cents each along with a dessert. However, I will charge them five cents a piece if they want to buy a basket without a dessert.”

Old Master Su, silent on the sidelines, said, “Binglan, isn’t that a little expensive? Most would learn how to weave the baskets after seeing it once.”

Many villagers knew how to weave baskets, so selling them at a higher price would be strange.

!!

Su Binglan smiled mysteriously. “I know what you mean, Grandpa, but we’re not selling just the baskets. We’re selling our brand.”

Ads by Pubfuture “B-Brand? What is that?” Old Master Su and Old Madam Su looked at their granddaughter curiously while Su Fengchen quietly listened on the sidelines.

They thought Su Binglan was bright and would always say things they could not comprehend.

Su Binglan explained, “A brand is what we will mark our baskets with. For example, I have named the dessert shop Binglan’s Desserts. We will stamp the name Binglan on the baskets, and no one can imitate it.”

There was no such thing as trademarks in ancient times, so Su Binglan thought to make them herself.

Su Fengchen understood what his niece meant. “If that’s the case and someone buys your desserts to keep them in their own packaging to save money, it would not look as nice without your mark. It would be apparent that the basket was not from Binglan’s Desserts then.”

Su Binglan nodded. “That’s exactly it. Furthermore, if the customer gifted the dessert to someone with our baskets, the recipient would know it came from Binglan’s Desserts. Then the customers will be willing to buy more expensive-looking gifts.”

Old Master Su said smilingly, “Then we should have no worries since Binglan has such an excellent plan.”

Ads by Pubfuture The Su family knew they could easily face any problem as long as Su Binglan was around.

Su Binglan always knew her family was brilliant, skillful, and diligent. She believed her family’s conditions would soon improve. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Initially, Su Binglan wanted her grandparents to make ragdolls because it was simple and labor-saving. Her grandmother could sew while her grandfather stuffed them.

However, making ragdolls would be more costly because they would need to buy cloth and cotton. Overall, it would be more efficient to weave baskets.

The Su family would have to cut down small trees from the mountain and strip their wood. Nonetheless, there was no cost involved, only manual labor.

Moreover, it was easier to imitate ragdolls, so Su Binglan thought it was better to start a small business first. She would consider doing something else whenever she had more money on hand.

She stayed at her grandparents’ house for a while until she was ready to return home. However, Old Master Su and Old Madam Su insisted she stay for dinner, so Su Binglan could not decline their hospitality.

Old Madam Su said to her son, “Fengchen, go to your second brother’s house and tell him Binglan is having dinner with us tonight. Also, tell Jin’an to come over so we can have dinner with him too.”

The elderly couple had four sons, and Su Fengmao was the second out of the four. Besides Su Binglan’s fourth uncle, Su Fengchen, she also had a first and third uncle. The family had a good relationship with each other and were united.

Su Fengchen knew his niece was delighted to have dinner with them, so he readily agreed with his mother, “Yes, mother. I’ll go right away.”

Then he exited the house without waiting for Su Binglan to respond. Soon after, he returned alongside Luo Jin’an.

Luo Jin’an did not go to the elderly couple’s house empty-handed. Instead, he brought a pheasant over. His health had improved exponentially at that time.

Su Binglan did not allow her husband to do taxing work for fear of his condition worsening. She also brewed medicine for Luo Jin’an to recuperate.

Su Binglan had used the leftover money she earned from Drunken Cloud to open and renovate her shops. She used the rest to buy more medicine for her husband.

The people of that era could not risk falling sick because the medication was expensive. It cost Su Binglan a lot of money to cure her big brother and Luo Jin’an.

!!

Su Binglan felt that the human body was the most crucial thing, so she did not mind working harder to earn more money to get more medicine for the two to recover. Nonetheless, her methods worked, and her big brother was well enough to go to town and help his wife sell tofu and candied chestnuts.

Although Su Binglan could not fully cure her husband’s body, his illness had stopped, and he looked much better. During that time, Luo Jin’an went hunting in the mountains and caught two pheasants.

Ads by Pubfuture He had told Su Binglan that he would send one to her parents. However, he brought the other pheasant to the elderly couple’s house.

Old Madam Su looked at the pheasant and said, “Dear child, I invited you for dinner. You didn’t have to bring anything.”

Old Madam Su had planned to have Su Fengchen slaughter one of their farmed hens so she could make dinner with it for her granddaughter to nourish herself.

She felt that Su Binglan would never gain weight no matter how much she ate. Old Madam Su thought her granddaughter was too skinny and needed more subtenants. She never expected Luo Jin’an to bring a pheasant.

Luo Jin’an said, “Su Binglan told me I should bring this pheasant over for you.”

Su Binglan raised her eyebrows when she heard what Luo Jin’an said. She did not expect him to be so eloquent. Luo Jin’an gave her all the credit even though she did nothing.

Luo Jin’an was the one who hunted the pheasants and discussed what he should do with them with Su Binglan. He had always respected his wife and knew she should arrange all family affairs.

One would say Su Binglan was in charge of the family. Luo Jin’an never interfered with her decisions.

Ads by Pubfuture Old Madam Su smiled lovingly and said, “How about you and Binglan take the pheasant home after dinner? We have many chickens here and can eat them whenever necessary.”

Su Binglan knew the chickens her grandparents and uncle raised were hens that had to lay eggs. However, the elderly couple and Su Fengchen doted on Su Binglan. Even if they needed the hens to lay eggs, they would not hesitate to slaughter one for Su Binglan to eat.

Su Binglan understood what her grandparents said and responded, “I prefer to eat pheasants because they’re more delicious. We should cook it for dinner.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

No one objected to Su Binglan’s suggestion.

Luo Jin’an did not stay idle when he arrived. Instead, he helped to chop firewood in the yard.

Old Master Su said, “You’re not well, Jin’an. You should rest and let me chop the firewood.”

Everyone also doted on Luo Jin’an. He was Su Binglan’s husband, after all.

Luo Jin’an said softly, “I’m fine now, Grandpa. I’m not sick anymore, so I can do it.” He could not rest while the older man worked because he would feel guilty.

Su Binglan had spent much time with Luo Jin’an, so she knew her husband well. Luo Jin’an was always respectful and dutiful to his elders, making him a virtuous person.

Su Binglan said, “Grandpa, come and help me wash the feathers I’ve removed.”

She knew her grandfather would not stay idle, so she found an easy job for him so he could help.

Ads by Pubfuture 126 It Was of Great Use

Old Master Su was puzzled because they usually threw the pheasant’s feathers away. He wondered why his granddaughter asked him to wash the feathers instead.

‘Is she worried that I might get tired chopping wood? Is that why she’s deliberately telling me to wash the feathers?’

Since his granddaughter had told him to do that, it could only mean the feathers would be helpful. “Binglan, should I dry the feathers after washing them?”

Su Binglan was disemboweling the pheasant to make crispy pheasant. She initially planned to make crispy fried pheasant, but after some thought, she knew it would use up a lot of oil. Commoners would typically be reluctant to use so much oil.

Although she wanted to use the oil, she knew her grandparents would not be willing, so she thought it was better to save it instead.

Therefore, Su Binglan decided to make pheasant stew with mushrooms. When it rained, her grandparents went to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

Pheasant and mushrooms complimented each other and would produce a fresh and delicious flavor. Something so pure would undoubtedly taste good.

Su Binglan was thinking about what to cook when she heard her grandfather’s question. She explained smilingly, “Yes, Grandpa. You need to dry the feathers because they will be useful afterward.

Su Binglan piqued Old Master Su’s interest. “Oh? What would we use pheasant feathers for?” Old Master Su never knew he could use pheasant feathers for anything.

Ads by Pubfuture Meanwhile, Old Madam Su was washing mushrooms when she asked curiously, “Yeah, what can we use pheasant feathers for, Binglan? I only know we can make shuttlecocks out of them.”

Even a shuttlecock would not need that many feathers.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Haven’t you guys used pheasant feathers before?”

Old Madam Su responded, “N-No, I never thought to do anything with such a small amount of feathers. At most, we can dry them and use them to make a fire, but it won’t burn for long.”

There were few feathers on a pheasant, and it would be useless. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Su Binglan said, “Chicken feathers, duck feathers, and even goose feathers are useful to keep yourselves warm. You will understand when it gets cold during the winter.”

Su Binglan wanted to make a down jacket and down quilt so it would not be so cold during the winter. It was an ancient era, and there was no heating.

Although every household had a brick bed that they could warm up with fire, the winter was frigid, and it would sometimes freeze the ground. A fire could only heat their brick beds, but the cold air would still be a problem.

Having a down jacket or down quilt would help alleviate that problem.

Although Su Binglan did not tell the elderly couple how she would use the pheasant feathers, they thought their granddaughter was right.

Ads by Pubfuture “Okay, Binglan, we will wash and dry any feathers we find so you can use them.”

Su Binglan thought of something and said, “Oh right, I remember that Third Uncle has raised some sheep. Am I right?”

Old Madam Su replied, “Yes, your third uncle has a few sheep,” as she spoke, she guessed something and asked, “Is their wool useful too?”

Su Binglan replied, “Yes, Grandma. The wool is indeed useful because we can weave them into sweaters.”

When the weather was cold, one would typically wear a sweater inside and a down jacket on the outside to keep themselves warm.

Su Binglan had finished disemboweling the pheasant as she spoke. She placed the pheasant on the chopping board and prepared to hack it into pieces.

Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, and Su Fengchen became anxious when they saw Su Binglan reaching for the cleaver.

Su Fengchen was the closest to her, so he hurriedly said, “Binglan, don’t accidentally cut your hand. Let me do it.”

Su Binglan looked at Su Fengchen and said, “Uncle, your right hand…” She feared hurting her uncle’s self-esteem and did not know to continue.

Su Fengchen looked at his hand and said, “I-It’s okay. I’ve practiced cutting vegetables using my left hand over the past few years.”

Su Binglan felt terrible when she heard that. Su Binglan knew if she had been in the same position, she would not have mastered her knife skills.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Fengchen. I won’t cut my hand because I cook at home too,” she said as she started hacking the chicken.

The trio was shocked when they saw Su Binglan’s knife skills.

Ads by Pubfuture 127 Took Root in Their Hearts

Everyone was shocked when they saw Su Binglan’s knife skills, but they did not overthink it. They only knew this was their family’s treasure. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When they talked about sweaters, Su Fengchen interrupted them because Su Binglan was butchering the pheasant.

At that moment, Old Madam Su took over and said, “Binglan, is a sweater something we wear like a shirt?”

Old Madam Su was curious because her third son and his family lived in poor conditions. She thought if he could use wool to make clothes, it would improve her third son and his family’s lives.

!!

Su Binglan patiently explained, “Yes, Grandma. One would use wool to make garments like a sweater. Wearing a sweater will keep you warm when it gets cold during the winter.”

Ads by Pubfuture She seemed to have thought of something and continued, “Oh right, Grandma, please tell Third Uncle and his wife to save the wool and raise a few more sheep, if possible.”

Su Binglan had memories of her third uncle and his wife. Her third aunt was diligent and did not talk much, but she was kind and treated Su Binglan well. She had two sons who were older than Su Binglan.

They were teenagers who were fifteen and sixteen years old. If it were the modern era, the two teenagers would be in school, but the two worked like adults to earn money in this era.

Su Binglan’s third uncle and third aunt’s family used to be well-off because her third uncle possessed excellent cooking skills. It seemed he had once lived in Beijing.

However, he returned home to the countryside and worked in the fields later on for an unknown reason. When others asked him why he did that, he did not say a word.

Old Madam Su said, “All right, I’ll go and inform them later. B-But, it’s just that it is not easy to sell mutton. Does he have to raise a few more sheep just for wool?”

Su Binglan knew mutton cost more than pork, but the people of this era were unaware of the benefits of eating mutton. Usually, people would be unwilling to buy pork, let alone mutton, because mutton tasted too gamey, and people did not know how to cook it properly.

Ads by Pubfuture Despite that, Su Binglan knew one could cook mutton in a barbeque by sticking the meat onto some skewers. One could also make mutton soup and use them in hotpots.

Since her third uncle possessed excellent cooking skills, Su Binglan thought it would be a good idea if he could open a barbeque shop. Still, there was a use for the sheep’s wool once her third uncle slaughtered them for his barbeque shop.

Su Binglan finished cleaving the pheasant and placed its edible parts into the sink. She cleaned herself up and said smilingly, “It’s not just for the wool, Grandma. The sheep’s meat is also a good thing. If Third Uncle opened a shop or set up a stall, his business would become popular.”

Old Madam Su waved her hand and sighed, “That might not be true. Your third uncle never mentioned cooking or setting up a stall again when he returned from Beijing. I wonder what he went through. He didn’t even go to the local restaurants to look for work.”

Su Binglan listened and frowned. It was indeed a bizarre situation. She wondered what exactly her third uncle went through in Beijing.

“Grandma, you can always take it slow and convince Third Uncle to start cooking again. There’s no rush,” as she spoke, she began to cook by adding water into the pot.

Su Binglan took advantage of the fact that no one paid attention to her and added some spiritual spring water into it. The food she cooked with the spring water would be especially fragrant and beneficial to the body.

Luo Jin’an finished chopping the firewood and carried them to the stove. Then he squatted to start a fire.

Su Binglan’s heart hurt as she watched Luo Jin’an’s actions. Luo Jin’an did not talk much and suppressed his presence, making it easy for people to forget he was around. Still, seemingly out of nowhere, he would always appear whenever someone needed help.

However, Su Binglan knew how poisonous such a character could be because that person could unknowingly take root in people’s hearts, which was completely undetectable.

Naturally, Luo Jin’an started a fire on the stove to burn the wood. Even though he did such a simple task, his demeanor carried elegance and grace. It was as if he was making art instead of starting a fire, pleasing the eye.

Su Binglan put the chopped pheasant pieces into the pot when she noticed Luo Jin’an squatting by the stove with nowhere to sit. She wiped her hands, looked around, and saw a stool in the kitchen corner.

She picked up the stool and went to Luo Jin’an. She put it down and said, “It’s tiring for you to squat like that. Here, sit on this.”

Luo Jin’an looked up at Su Binglan, making her heartbeat hasten. Old Master Su washed the pheasant feathers in the yard while Su Fengchen settled the duck eggs. Meanwhile, Old Madam Su lowered her head and thought about her third son absent-mindedly.

None of them noticed Su Binglan get flustered.

Old Madam Su collected her thoughts as she noticed the couple interacting. She smiled lovingly and said. “Binglan, do you feel sorry for your husband? Jin’an, your wife is such a kind person. You will know it after spending more time with her. She knows how to show love.”

Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an said softly, “Yes.” He lowered his head so no one could see his expression or know what he was thinking.

Su Binglan was still thin-skinned in this regard. “Grandma!”

Old Madam Su said smilingly, “Okay, I’ll leave you two alone.” Old Madam Su was delighted to see her granddaughter and her husband getting along.

The water in the pot began to boil at that moment, and Su Binglan picked up a spoon to scoop out the foam on the top. Then she fished out the pheasant parts to keep the water under control and set the pheasant pieces aside.

After the water in the pot evaporated enough, Su Binglan added oil, onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, and chili to start stir-frying them. After the ingredients started producing a unique fragrance, she added the pheasant pieces back in and stir-fried them with the spices.

When the pheasant pieces turned a light brown, Su Binglan added some seasoning and salt before continuing to stir-fry them. Then she added more water and some mushrooms to the pot and scooped them out a few minutes later.

There was an appetizing fragrance wafting throughout the house when she finished cooking.

Ads by Pubfuture Old Madam Su sighed and smiled. “I can tell that this pheasant dish will taste unique.”

Old Master Su had finished washing the feathers and hung them to dry. He also smelled the appetizing fragrance when he entered the house. He heard his wife’s words and added, “That’s because our granddaughter’s cooking is excellent. Otherwise, the pheasant wouldn’t smell so good no matter how good the bird’s quality is.”

Old Madam Su responded smilingly, “I guess you’re right. We will eat well during dinner, thanks to our granddaughter and her husband.”

The elders’ second son, Su Fengmao, would typically send over some fresh and delicious food, like sour and spicy potato pancakes, tofu, soy milk, and spicy chicken, during dinner. Their granddaughter made them all, and the elders looked at Su Binglan proudly.

The Su elders and Su Fengchen usually ate mantou buns as their staple diet. However, Old Madam Su and Old Master Su could not bear to eat white flour mantou, so they ate coarse flour mantou instead.

But before that, Su Binglan wanted to make desserts and had bought plenty of white flour mantou when she went to town. When she brought them home, Shen Qiuhua steamed them and brought the white flour mantou to the elders’ house.

Old Madam Su was reluctant to eat them then and kept them instead. But she took them out during dinner to eat it with the pheasant and mushroom stew.

Usually, the elders only had the opportunity to eat white flour mantou during the new year. Old Madam Su carefully removed the mantou from the cupboard and said smilingly, “Let’s eat these mantou buns tonight.”

Su Binglan glanced at the eight mantou and remembered her mother had steamed them and sent them over. It had been a few days, yet her grandparents had not eaten a single one.

Su Binglan felt a trace of bitterness in her heart but did not say much. She only thought of earning more money so her grandparents could live better lives. That way, they would not be reluctant to eat even white flour mantou.

Old Madam Su took six mantou buns and steamed them. The six mantou were enough to feed the elders for a few days, but their granddaughter was there for dinner that night, so they were willing to feed her anything, let alone the mantou.

Su Binglan noticed all these details as her eyes teared up slightly and her heart beat faster. She knew it must be family love.

After steaming the mantou, the family ate together. Su Fengchen said, “Binglan, why don’t we take a few salted duck eggs and preserved eggs for dinner so everyone can try some?”

Su Binglan responded after some thought, “Let’s cut one salted duck egg and one preserved egg so the others can try them first. We can eat more when we make extra in the future.”

Su Binglan knew her uncle was willing to let his family eat the eggs, but she felt they should save some and only let them eat more when they made extra. She wanted her uncle to start earning first so he would be much more at ease with more money in his hand.

“All right, that sounds good, Binglan.”

Nonetheless, she felt sincerely happy now that her youngest son was getting better and was more willing to talk. She knew Su Binglan had brought this about. Old Madam Su thought the monk was right—Su Binglan was their lucky star.

Su Binglan cut one preserved egg and one salted egg into thin slices so everyone could have a taste.

The brick bed was warm, and everyone sat by it to eat good food to their heart’s content. “The pheasant is tender, and the broth is fragrant. It tastes fresh and wonderful!”

The pheasant and mushroom stew was exceptional because Su Binglan added the spiritual spring water, making it incredibly tasty.

“It’s even more delicious when you dip the steamed mantou in it!”

Old Madam Su sighed, “The food she recently ate was even better than what she ate during the New Year.”

Old Master Su added, “Exactly. We have prospered, thanks to our granddaughter.”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan looked at her grandparents’ satisfied smiles and felt indescribable happiness in her heart.

It did not take much for the people of this era to feel content. They would be thrilled if they could eat a good meal. It was a straightforward kind of happiness, and their mood would improve exponentially.

Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an beside her and realized he had not picked up his chopsticks or eaten much. She picked up a few pieces of pheasant meat and put them into his bowl.

Luo Jin’an looked at his bowl and then at Su Binglan. He saw his wife smiling at him as she whispered urgingly, “Eat more.”

Old Master Su and Old Madam Su were distracted by the food, so they did not notice the couple’s interaction. Su Fengchen, on the other hand, was distracted by the couple’s loving gestures.

Su Fengchen was already twenty years old. One could say he would have been married if it were not for his crippled right hand and poor living conditions. People of that era typically wanted to get married by fifteen or sixteen.

Su Binglan noticed her uncle’s expression and thought he had something on his mind. Su Binglan realized something and roughly understood what her uncle felt.

Still, she was Su Fengchen’s niece, and there were some things she could not say to him out of respect. Nonetheless, Su Binglan thought to watch for women from good families for her uncle.

“Grandpa, Grandma, these are the salted duck eggs and preserved eggs Uncle Fengchen made. I hope you like them,” Su Binglan said.

Old Madam Su picked up a salted duck egg and ate it. “Wow! Why is the yolk so delicious?!” The elderly lady was in disbelief.

Old Master Su also nodded. “Is very tasty. This is salted duck egg, right? I could eat half a mantou and a salted egg for a meal and never tire of it.”

Old Madam Su said smilingly, “It is indeed delicious. I didn’t realize you could prepare eggs in such a way.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“These eggs will sell well, and we also have preserved eggs with a unique flavor.” Su Fengchen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his parents’ approval.

He also thought of earning more money to improve his family’s living conditions so his parents could enjoy the remainder of their lives together. He would finally consider himself a dutiful son after that.

Previously, Su Fengchen’s parents had to work hard because they were worried about their son’s hand injury. Su Fengchen felt depressed and blamed himself for that. He felt a massive weight on his shoulders.

However, he was more relaxed now and knew it was all thanks to his niece. The family ate delicious food and thought of ways to earn a living. Their faces were brimming with brilliant smiles.

…

After dinner, Su Binglan packed a big basket of salted duck eggs and preserved eggs and prepared to return home. The basket was full and looked quite heavy, so Luo Jin’an reached out to grab it, saying, “Let me take that.”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan refused her husband’s offer because the weight was nothing to her. “It’s not that heavy. I can handle it.” She did not want Luo Jin’an to do any heavy lifting and tire himself out.

Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan calmly and noticed the stubbornness in her eyes. “Let me carry it. Please be more obedient.”

Su Binglan met her husband’s gaze and could not help but do as he said. She simply handed the basket to him.

Luo Jin’an took it and walked away. Only then did Su Binglan return to her senses. She wondered what happened to her just now and if Luo Jin’an had bewitched her. She thought it was bizarre that someone could enchant her.

Still, the look in Luo Jin’an’s eyes just now differed from his typical gaze. Su Binglan ran up to look into Luo Jin’an’s eyes, only to find nothing out of the ordinary about them.

‘Am I hallucinating?’

When Su Binglan reached home, she did not stay idle. She spoke to her parents, brother, and sister-in-law about her shop’s grand opening that would happen on the following day.

She gave them plenty of details, and if her family had any questions, she would answer them. The Su family discussed everything together and was busy until midnight before they finally fell asleep.

Ads by Pubfuture The following day before dawn, the family woke up early, packed their things, and transported them to the shop. They had hired an oxcart from the village so it would be easier to bring their necessities to town.

Su Binglan wanted to purchase an ox, but ten silver taels for one was quite expensive. Living that lifestyle cost money and it was not like the Su family could buy whatever they wanted.

Su Binglan had spent most of her money on renovating her shop, so it was better to save as much as possible for the time being. She could always buy an ox whenever she had enough money on hand.

…

The family arrived at the town by oxcart before dawn. The grand opening would be pretty busy, so Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai followed the rest of the Su family to town.

Su Binglan took advantage of the fact it was still early and started arranging her desserts. She had already prepared the pricetags, so all she needed to do was place them and the desserts onto various wooden plates.

The dessert and tofu shops were side-by-side. It was initially a large building, but Su Binglan split them into two sides.

The tofu shop was spotless, and wooden plates were on the front counter. Tofu skins, dried tofu, candied chestnuts, and fries were on them. Even the salted duck eggs and preserved eggs were on different plates.

That side of the shop looked just like a grocery store. The tofu store was a bit big, and Su Wenzhe did not think he would need such a big store, but Su Binglan had other plans.

She thought she could also make the tofu section into a stewed meat store. She would make stewed meat dishes and snacks in the future and sell them in that part of the shop.

After dawn, a few townsfolk approached the shop door, curious to see the inside.
