Mr. and Mrs. Liu and Feng Sisi looked at the sweet potatoes in a daze since they had never seen anything like it. Still, they instinctively believed Su Binglan.

Feng Sisi asked curiously, “Little Su, can we simply roast sweet potatoes, or do we need to add something?”

Su Binglan said smilingly, “You can simply roast them since they’re naturally sweet and fragrant,” she removed a few sweet potatoes from her bag as she spoke to Feng Sisi, “Miss Feng, you can roast a few now.

“I think your mother-in-law just lit a fire since the ashes on the stove are still warm. You can put the sweet potatoes into a pot now. You’ll know how they taste once you’ve cooked and eaten them. Also, you can eat these to warm yourselves up when the weather gets cold.”

Su Binglan recalled buying roasted sweet potatoes whenever she saw them during the winter in the modern world.

It would get frigid whenever the northern wind blew, but Su Binglan would feel warm when she held the roasted sweet potato and ate it. Sometimes, even a minor thing like that could bring warmth to others. Hence, Su Binglan wanted to bring many modern delicacies to the ancient era.

However, her strength was limited. If the people around her were diligent and kind enough to live good lives, she was willing to teach them her cooking methods.

Then, everyone could become wealthy through these delicacies. It was also a way of killing several birds with one stone.

Feng Sisi listened to Su Binglan’s words and hurriedly took the few sweet potatoes Su Binglan gave her to the stove. She put them into the pot, covered them, and put the hot ash onto the pot cover.

She felt it was not hot enough, so she burned more firewood on the stove. That way, she could evenly cook the sweet potatoes with the fire from the stove’s bottom and the hot ash atop the pot cover.

Ads by Pubfuture She would often cook corn like this in the past. Feng Sisi looked at the pot full of sweet potatoes smilingly.

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter-in-law, who was still at the stove, and shouted, “Sisi, come here!”

“Coming, Mother-in-law!” Feng Sisi’s voice was crisp and clear.

Immediately after, Su Binglan taught them how to make the chicken blood noodles, “Firstly, we peel the sweet potatoes and pound them into a mash. Then we add cold water and stir till they clump together.”

She described the first few steps, and everyone got busy pounding the sweet potatoes into a mash.

In the morning, Liu Yinyin and her husband finally woke up. Liu Yinyin knew her sister-in-law was teaching her family how to make chicken blood.

Su Binglan’s gesture touched Liu Yinyin, and she did not know what to say. She knew her sister-in-law was helping her family.

Liu Yinyin remembered Su Binlan saying it was better to teach someone how to fish than to give them one.

In other words, it was better to teach someone how to earn money than to give someone things. That way, one could live a good life without asking for help. Liu Yinyin only understood this concept when Su Binglan said it.

Still, Liu Yinyin was thinking about how expensive the medicinal herbs were that Su Binglan used to save Liu Chengwen.

Liu Yinyin had given most of the money she earned to her mother for safekeeping and wanted to ask Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua for a loan but was too embarrassed to do so. She felt conflicted.

However, she did not expect Su Binglan to teach her parents and Feng Sisi how to cook the chicken blood noodle dish.

Ads by Pubfuture Since that was the case, Liu Yinyin’s family could have their own business and earn money, so she would not have to worry.

Liu Yinyin gently said to her husband, “Binglan is amazing. Although she isn’t talking much, she’s meticulous with her teaching instructions.”

Su Wenzhe proudly said, “Of course, my little sister is the best!”

Liu Yinyin looked at Su Wenzhe and said, “I will treat you better in the future.”

She knew the Su family treated her as one of theirs because she was Su Wenzhe’s wife and the two little one’s mother. All of it was because she married Su Wenzhe, so she simply had to treat her husband better.

Su Wenzhe was surprised to hear that. “What’s wrong with you, Yinyin? Why did you say that so suddenly?”

Liu Yinyin snorted. “I knew I couldn’t explain it to you enough.”

It was not easy for her to say such sweet things, yet Su Wenzhe did not understand. That blockhead, Su Wenzhe, entirely differed from Liu Yinyin’s big brother. @@novelbin@@

Liu Chengwen would coax his wife in a certain way, and Su Wenzhe never followed suit.

Liu Yinyin said to her husband, “Xuexuan and Xuehai are awake. You handle their breakfast and then help Chengwen while I help the others in the courtyard.”

Su Wenzhe also wanted to help in the courtyard, but he had to do what his wife told him to do.

After mashing the sweet potatoes, they poured water into the mix. Su Binglan continued, “Now boil the water.”

Feng Sisi was quick to start the fire. At that moment, she thought about the sweet potatoes she was cooking earlier. “Oh, I almost forgot about these. I was so engrossed listening to Little Su’s instructions just now.”

The sweet potatoes were still hot, so she blew on them while removing them from the pot. “Huff, puff. Two of the potatoes got burnt on the outside, but we should still be able to eat them after peeling off the skin.”

Liu Yinyin said from the sidelines, “Sweet potatoes taste incredible. They’re also delicious if you steam them.”

Mrs. Liu said smilingly, “They smell great!”

The laughter increased throughout the morning as Feng Sisi felt emotional. It was rare for the family to be so relaxed and happy, making her feel much lighter.

She knew the family could earn plenty of money because of the chicken blood noodles. When the time came, the family could save money and buy more medicine for Liu Chengwen.

Then they could save more whenever Liu Chengwen recovered. Of course, the family knew it was all thanks to Su Binglan.

Su Binglan went over to check on the cooked sweet potatoes. “Mmm, they look done. I’ll let everyone have a taste.”

Feng Sisi nodded and passed the cooked sweet potatoes to her in-laws and Su Binglan. Then she took another one and said, “I’ll give this to Chengwen.”

She peeled off the skin as she went to the back room and gave it to her husband to eat.

Liu Chengwen looked at his wife’s red, swollen eyes and said with heartache, “I’m sorry for worrying you last night. Did you not sleep at all?”

Feng Sisi shook her head. “It’s okay. I wasn’t tired anyway. Everything will be okay as long as you are. Besides, Little Su is teaching us how to make chicken blood noodles. I know it’ll be delicious, so I will go to town and sell it when the time comes. You’ve worked hard enough for your parents and me.”

Liu Chengwen felt guilty. “We’re husband and wife, so what do you mean by ‘I’ve worked hard enough?’ I never allowed you to do such things in the past, so I’ll go with you this time.”

He was still scared after waking up. He could not bear to leave his family behind. “I’ll pay more attention to my safety next time. I won’t risk going to the back of the mountain again.”

Feng Sisi snorted. “It’s good that you understand how dangerous it is back there. Hurry up and eat this sweet potato Little Su brought over. It smells good, doesn’t it?”

Feng Sisi passed the peeled sweet potato to her husband and said, “You eat it.”

Liu Chengwen shook his head. “No, you eat it.”

The couple could not bear to eat the sweet potato. Whenever there was delicious food at home, Liu Chengwen could not bear to eat it alone. Feng Sisi was similar, so the two ate together.

In the end, the couple ate the sweet potato together.

!!

“It’s sweet and delicious!” Feng Sisi enjoyed the potato but only had a small bite. She let her husband take a bigger bite instead.

Mrs. Liu brought in another sweet potato and saw the couple feeling sorry for each other. She felt rather upset and said, “Little Su said each of you can have one. You two can have more since we have many.”

Feng Sisi said, “You should have some too, Mother-in-law.”

“I already had one, so you two can have more,” Mrs. Liu replied.

Feng Sisi quickly gave the second sweet potato to her husband and returned to the stove to listen to Su Binglan talk about how to make chicken blood noodles.

After boiling the water, Su Binglan said, “Add boiling water like this while stirring. It will prevent the sweet potato mash from turning into a paste. Afterward, add the other half of the sweet potato mash and stir it. You must stir them vigorously to make a soft dough.”

She observed the family follow her instructions. When the right time arrived, she said, “Remove a small piece of the mash and let it hang. It’s ready if it can form noodle threads. Now, boil another pot of water.”

Ads by Pubfuture Feng Sisi quickly started a fire while Mrs. Liu said, “Rest, Sisi. I’ll start the fire.”

“But I’m not tired, Mother-in-law. You and Father-in-law haven’t slept all night, so it’s best if you two rest while I start the fire.”

Liu Yinyin interjected, “I’ll do it, Sister-in-law. Binglan can continue teaching you how to make the noodles.”

Only after hearing this did Feng Sisi let Liu Yinyin start the fire.

Su Binglan looked at the water in the pot and said, “Control the heat so you don’t overboil the water.”

Mr. and Mrs. Liu and Feng Sisi carefully listened while Su Binglan continued making a slotted spoon. After forming the noodles with the potato mash, the family would put them into the pot.

After removing the noodles, the family would cool them with cold water to complete the noodle-making process. Afterward, Su Binglan used the chicken blood to make the soup for the chicken blood noodle dish.

It was already noon when she put some seasoning in the chicken blood noodle dish. She said, “Try some, everyone.”

The whole family was stunned when they tried the dish.

“It’s delicious!”

“It looks like a noodle dish, but more unique. It’s so smooth and fragrant.”

Feng Sisi’s eyes lit up. “It honestly is!”

Liu Yinyin took care of her two sons while the family ate. The two children kept saying how delicious the dish was.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenzhe said, “Sister, isn’t this the duck blood vermicelli you talked about last time? It’s indeed delicious. It has a different taste than the haggis soup.”

Su Binglan said, “There are many more delicacies, so they vary from each other.”

Everyone knew the duck blood vermicelli would be popular in town. However, they did not have any sweet potatoes.

Su Binglan said, “Mr. and Mrs. Liu, I have plenty of sweet potatoes. The yield of sweet potatoes is high and relatively cheap. I’ll tell Big Brother to send some over in the afternoon.

“You can also use them as seeds to grow more for next year. Then you can use them to make more duck blood vermicelli. As for duck blood, you can buy it from my uncle. These things are cheap too.”

Su Binglan thought of teaching someone suitable about the duck blood vermicelli, but she knew now it was better to teach it to Liu Yinyin’s family.

Since the family could start a business and have better lives, Liu Yinyin would no longer have to worry. Besides, Liu Yinyin’s family were the ones who helped the Su family when they were struggling.

It was also because of their rice that the Su family could eat that fill. These were favors that Su Binglan remembered.

Everyone was shocked when she mentioned that the sweet potatoes only cost two coins a pound. “T-That’s so cheap!”

The family thought the sweet potatoes would be expensive because they were good. Since they were cheap, making duck blood vermicelli would not cost them much.

“Little Su, the sweet potatoes are too cheap.” Feng Sisi found it hard to believe that such a delicious thing was that cheap.

Mrs. Liu said, “Little Su, these are good stuff, so shouldn’t they be more expensive? We know you’re thinking of helping us, and we can’t thank you enough.”

Su Binglan explained, “Mrs. Liu, anyone can produce sweet potatoes in high quantities, so my prices are reasonable. Still, there are fewer now, so I can sell them for five coins a pound.

See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture “However, I have a lot of sweet potatoes here, so I don’t need that many. You guys are helping me by taking them off my hands, so I’ll only charge you two coins a pound.”

After all, the sweet potatoes overgrew in Su Binglan’s pocket dimension, so she did not have to worry about running out. Moreover, she had a stockpile of them in her warehouse.

Everyone would plant sweet potatoes in the future, and the yield would be high, so the price would be lower. Still, Su Binglan’s prices for the sweet potatoes were reasonable.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu listened to Su Binglan under her insistence.

Su Binglan went home after lunch while Su Wenzhe and Su Wenxiu went to town. Since the brothers did not open the shop in the morning, the customers would get worried. @@novelbin@@

Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin stayed with her two children at her parents’ house. She planned to help her parents with some things in the afternoon and take care of her big brother before going home at night.

When Su Binglan exited the Liu family’s home, the villagers could not help but glance at her.

Since it had just rained, the villagers could not work in the fields. Instead, they sat on stools and chatted on the street after eating. They gathered in twos and threes, gossiping about the Liu family. No one could hide anything from the villagers as they would find out sooner or later.

“I thought the Su family was struggling in the past. Now, it seems the Liu family was right to marry their daughter off to a member of the Su family.”

“Yeah, didn’t you see Liu Yinyin’s in-laws coming here on horses? Two horses at that.”

“Liu Yinyin’s sister-in-law also has medical knowledge.”

“That’s right. The Liu family’s son almost died. They even asked the village official for help when Chengwen’s face turned purple. Still, he only recovered once Yinyin’s sister-in-law arrived.”

“It’s truly amazing.”

…

The villagers became increasingly amazed as they chatted. Su Binglan naturally noticed their expressions as she rode home on her horse. Still, she had grown accustomed to it.

The villagers knew something bizarre was happening, so they would all curiously look.

When Su Binglan reached home, she told her mother and the others what had happened. Knowing that Liu Chengwen was okay, Shen Qiuhua and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

...

Shen Qiuhua thought of something and said, “By the way, the woman Fengchen brought home has regained consciousness.”

Shen Qiuhua grew accustomed to telling her daughter everything. She mainly talked about when Su Fengchen saved a woman and brought her to Old Madam Su’s house. @@novelbin@@

Su Binglan raised her eyebrows when she heard that. “She’s awake? Did she say anything?”

Shen Qiuhua was soaking the soybeans when she said, “She didn’t say anything when I asked her some questions because she’s mute. She’s also timid but gorgeous.”

She thought of the woman’s appearance when she went to Old Madam Su’s place that morning. Indeed, she was a little surprised. She didn’t even get a good look at that woman the day before.

!!

Su Binglan smiled slightly. “That’s interesting.”

Shen Qiuhua sighed and said, “Exactly. Your grandparents and uncle are still waiting for her to wake up. Still, the woman is okay, so they’ll let her leave.”

Su Binglan was concerned. “But she can’t say anything, and they can’t just drive the woman away. She has to stay with them for now.”

“I know, but your uncle isn’t married yet. It’s not good for his reputation if that woman stays there,” Shen Qiuhua looked worried as she spoke.

After some thought, she continued, “That woman can stay at our house if she wants to, but she only trusts your uncle and is always on guard against others. It seems she has a problem.”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan listened to her mother’s explanation and fell into deep thought. After a while, she said, “I checked her pulse yesterday, so she doesn’t have a problem. If she woke up like that, I could only guess something stimulated her.

“Perhaps the first person she saw was Uncle Fengchen, so that’s why she trusts him. Even if she’s on guard against others, we can only assume she’s a cautious person. Also, that woman probably has something going on.”

Shen Qiuhua asked, “Is there honestly nothing wrong with her?”

“Don’t worry, Mother. Everything will be okay.” Su Binglan patted her mother’s shoulder.

Although the villagers of Su Teng were warm-hearted and straightforward, they were also wary of outsiders. Since one of their village members had brought an unknown woman into their village, everyone was worried about getting into trouble.

Shen Qiuhua looked at her daughter’s calm and indifferent expression and felt more at ease. It seemed she had nothing to worry about. Otherwise, her daughter would not be so calm.

“Oh, your grandmother wants you to check on that woman to see if you can treat her. The quicker she recovers, the earlier she can return to her home.”

A woman’s reputation was important, especially in that era. Old Madam Su was worried she would cause problems if the woman stayed in her house for too long.

“There’s a random woman in their house, and it’s not something we can hide from the villagers. Your grandmother said we should tell others that the woman is her distant relative who came to seek refuge to prevent the villagers from gossiping.”

Su Binglan nodded. “I understand. I’ll go and check on her immediately.”

However, Shen Qiuhua was worried her daughter would be exhausted. “B-But you just came home. Don’t you need to rest?”

Su Binglan shook her head, saying, “I’m okay. I slept pretty well last night, so I’m not tired.”

Ads by Pubfuture She untied her horse and rode it to her grandparents’ place as she spoke. It had just rained, and no one went to work on the fields. Since the villagers had nothing to do, they gathered in groups of twos and threes to chat.

Everyone was enthusiastic when they saw Su Binglan. “Binglan, are you going to your grandma’s place?”

“Yes, I’m going to check on them,” she answered very naturally.

Someone said curiously, “A gorgeous woman went to your grandma’s house, Binglan. I just came from there. She was by Fengchen’s side when I saw him feeding the chickens and ducks.”

“Oh, yeah. Who is that woman, Binglan?” Everyone looked at Su Binglan, their eyes burning with a need for gossip.

Su Binglan could not help but chuckle. She thought the villagers were fascinating. Since there were no entertainment programs during that era, everyone enjoyed listening to gossip. The villagers even knew who was who at all times.

Still, Su Binglan did not get impatient. On the contrary, she found it fascinating. She explained, “That woman is my grandmother’s distant relative. Something happened at her home, so she came seeking shelter.

“Aunt Li, you saw her with Uncle Fengchen, right? She must be helping him feed the ducks and chickens since he’s too busy raising them these days. It’s good that a relative came over to help.”

Su Binglan’s words were graceful, and her expression was calm. The villagers could not get any more information from her even if they wanted to. They thought that perhaps they were overthinking the situation.

“So, that woman is a distant relative, after all.”

“Still, she’s gorgeous.”

Su Binglan said smilingly, “My grandfather told me how beautiful my grandma was when she was younger. Naturally, my grandmother’s relatives are also beautiful.”

See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Everyone thought that way, and it was indeed true. Old Madam Su was gorgeous when she was young, as some village elders had an excellent impression of her. Hence, no one doubted Su Binglan’s words.

Su Binglan walked and talked to everyone, soon arriving at her grandparents’ house. Only Old Master Su and Old Madam Su were home at that moment.

As soon as she entered the house, she could smell a unique fragrance. If Su Binglan guessed correctly, it smelled of grilled chicken and roast duck. Indeed, they smelled fragrant, as she could even smell them at the door.

Old Madam Su was drying chicken and duck feathers in the yard because she had washed them the day before. She had previously hung them to dry, but it started raining, so she took them in.

Since the weather had cleared, Old Madam Su took the feathers out again and dried them in the yard.

“Hello there, Grandma!”

Old Madam Su heard her granddaughter’s voice, raised her head, and saw Su Binglan. She instantly revealed a loving expression on her face.

She asked with concern, “Binglan, you’re here. Your mother told me that you went to your sister-in-law’s place. Is everything okay?”

Su Binglan said, “Yinyin’s brother is fine, Grandma. Oh, I heard that the woman Uncle Fengchen brought home has regained consciousness.”

Old Madam Su stood up straight and sighed. “Indeed, she has, but she can’t speak. It seems like she can’t remember much, either. What should we do now?”

Previously, Old Madam Su was distraught and wanted to look for Su Binglan, but she was not home. Then Shen Qiuhua followed Old Madam Su home to check on the woman.

Su Binglan gently advised, “Don’t worry, grandma. I checked her pulse when Uncle Fengchen brought her here and found no issues. It’s not that she can’t talk.

“The woman must be in shock, so she did not speak when she regained consciousness. Besides, being in an unfamiliar environment is scary. She should be able to remember what happened soon.”

Old Madam Su heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. “Thank goodness. That’s good to hear.”

With that, she lowered her voice and said, “Your uncle was afraid something might happen to the woman last night, so he stayed up and watched over her. The woman only trusts Fengchen because he was the first person she saw when she regained consciousness.”

Su Binglan inwardly sighed as trust was a precious thing. She knew her uncle possessed a gentle and scholarly air about him. Su Fengchen’s expression was always gentle, making others feel close to him.

Su Binglan talked with Old Madam Su when Su Fengchen returned with a basket and the woman. The woman was still tugging at Su Fengchen’s sleeve.

Ads by Pubfuture 234 Profound Thought

The woman woke up and became highly dependent on Su Fengchen, so he felt helpless. The woman would follow or pull his arm wherever he went, even though Su Fengchen told her many times not to do that.

She would also look at Su Fengchen aggrievedly, and he felt guilty. He could only compromise and allow the woman to pull on his sleeves. He could tell that the woman must have experienced something traumatic. Otherwise, she would not look at others with a cautious gaze.

Moreover, she probably depended on him because she lacked a sense of security. Su Fengchen only wanted the woman to recover so she could remember what happened and return home as soon as possible. Indeed, staying at his house was not ideal.

Su Fengchen instantly felt uneasy when he saw his niece. Still, he could feel more relaxed whenever he faced his parents. The main reason was that the woman was tugging at his sleeve, and he wanted to remove her hand from it.

!!

Nonetheless, the woman held onto his sleeve tightly. Su Fengchen blushed as he said, “Hello, Binglan.”

Su Binglan looked at her uncle’s expression and found it amusing. She did not expect her uncle to have an innocent side.

Su Fengchen was handsome and refined with fair skin. He would not get tanned no matter how much time he spent in the sun. Seeing such a person made one feel comfortable, especially when he blushed.

The woman looked at Su Fengchen’s appearance and was stunned. She did not have many memories and only thought he was good-looking.

Old Madam Su greeted the woman and called her over, “Zhizhi, this Fengchen’s niece. Her name is Su Binglan, ”

Ads by Pubfuture The women did not move but looked at Su Fengchen instead. Only when she saw him nod did she go and gently greet Su Binglan, “Hello, niece.”

‘Huh?!’ Su Binglan looked at her uncle and the woman for a moment and seemed to understand something. She naturally extended her hand to greet the woman, “Hello, is your name Zhizhi?”

Zhizhi nodded and said, “Yes, I remembered my name is Zhizhi.”

Su Binglan listened and carefully observed the woman. ‘It seems she can only remember a little.’

She asked gently, “What’s your surname?”

Zhizhi pondered and frowned. It seemed she could not recall anything. She shook her head, saying, “I don’t remember.”

Su Binglan took a closer look at the woman to ensure she was not lying. She thought someone had provoked that woman.

The woman’s appearance and temperament were extraordinary, and it seemed like she did not come from an ordinary family either.

Su Binglan thought she could figure out where the woman came from if the woman knew her surname. Still, she could not determine it now.

Zhizhi was still in deep thought when Su Binglan said, “Don’t think about it too much if you can’t remember.”

Zhizhi nodded. “Yeah, just thinking about it gives me a headache.”

Ads by Pubfuture However, Su Binglan knew the woman was subconsciously resisting some of her memories, so she could only wait for the woman’s mood to improve before the woman could remember things naturally.

Su Binglan could not force the woman to remember it. Perhaps forgetting specific painful memories was a form of protection for some. Therefore, Su Binglan would not drug the woman to remind her of her memories because it would be unfair to the woman.

Old Madam Su waved at her granddaughter and said, “Binglan, let’s go check on the grilled chicken and roast duck.”

Then she turned to her son and said, “Bring Zhizhi and wash your hands. We’ll eat in the house soon.”

Su Fengchen nodded as Old Madam Su held Su Binglan’s hand and entered the house.

“I prepared the chicken last night, so it’s ready now. I left it in the pot and didn’t let anyone touch it. The roast duck is there and should be ready too.”

Su Binglan nodded.

When Old Madam Su and her granddaughter entered the house, Old Madam Su leaned closer to her granddaughter and whispered, “The woman only remembers her name, nothing else.

“Also, your uncle was the first person she saw when she woke up, so she relies on and trusts him a lot, especially because your uncle cared for her all night. We told her that she didn’t know who Fengchen was and that he was the one who saved her.

“She only wrote a sentence on paper, saying she should repay him with her body. She’s always following your uncle around too.”

Su Binglan’s expression changed. “She can write?”

See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Old Madam Su nodded and answered, “Yes, she can. Her handwriting is pretty good too. She doesn’t make gestures but can write on the ground to communicate more complicated matters.”

Su Binglan drifted into profound thought as she listened to those words because she remembered her conversation with her husband.

She remembered making a three-year promise with Luo Jin’an that she would cure his condition. Luo Jin’an also promised something during their conversation, saying it was a favor for saving his life.

Previously, Su Binglan did not understand what her husband meant, so she asked, “So what if I’m doing you a favor by saving your life?”

Luo Jin’an said, “Of course, I must repay you for saving my life by…”

Su Binglan thought her husband’s unfinished sentence was rather odd. At that time, she thought Luo Jin’an was going to say something sensual, so she asked, “What do you want to do to repay me?”

“Don’t you want me to repay you?”

Su Binglan did not realize that before, but after thinking of it now, she discovered something, and her expression changed.

‘Did he mean that last time, or did he mean something else?’ Su Binglan’s heart trembled chaotically.

Old Madam Su was talking to her granddaughter but did not get a response for a long time. She looked at her granddaughter’s expression and thought something was off. “Binglan?”

Su Binglan returned to her senses and asked, “Grandma, are you planning to let Zhizhi stay here for the time being?” @@novelbin@@

Old Madam Su said, “Sigh, I don’t know what to do either, so let’s ignore her. She has no memories right now, so where can she go? Since she depends on Fengchen, it won’t be a big deal if they like each other.

“The main issue is her amnesia. Much can change if she can recall some past events. Your grandfather and I aren’t desperate for your uncle to marry a girl from a wealthy family and only want him to find one from a good family. We don’t expect much, only that Fengchen and his future partner care for each other.”

Old Madam Su looked conflicted and perturbed as she spoke.

Su Binglan comforted her, “You don’t have to worry so much, Grandma. I don’t think Zhizhi is bad, but we’ll wait and see. She will remember what happened eventually. After all, she just woke up, so it’s normal not to remember anything.”

Old Madam Su’s mood improved exponentially after Su Binglan comforted her. “You’re right. We can’t rush things, can we? Everything will be okay once Zhizhi remembers what happened.”

Su Binglan talked to her grandmother for a while and saw the grilled chicken and roast duck. She tasted them alongside Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, Su Fengchen, and Shishi. They all thought the grilled chicken and roast duck tasted exceptional.

Old Master Su and his wife said the grilled chicken and roast duck were delicious. They had eaten many ducks and chicken dishes, but none were quite like these.

Zhizhi sat at the table and did not touch her chopsticks, so Su Fengchen carefully picked up a piece of chicken and duck and placed them in her bowl. Then he softly said, “Have some, Zhizhi.”

Zhizhi looked at Su Fengchen and smiled bashfully. Then she picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Her movements were elegant as she ate.

A single look and one could tell she came from a wealthy family. Even her sitting posture seemed refined, as every move she made had a purpose.

!!

Old Madam Su and her husband could tell that this woman’s background was not simple. Therefore, they revealed worried expressions.

Su Binglan quietly observed and made a judgment inwardly. Still, she thought the grilled chicken and roast duck were delicious.

She told her uncle that he could make these dishes according to her instructions, and she would sell them alongside the mooncakes in her dessert shop.

Of course, she suggested that Su Fengchen set up a stall at the village entrance to sell these dishes since many villagers often passed through. @@novelbin@@

If the villagers visited their relatives during the Mooncake Festival, they could buy the two dishes before leaving. Even if it were not the Mooncake Festival, anyone visiting the village could buy the grilled chicken and roast duck.

Ads by Pubfuture Although everyone lived in the same village, each household had varying living conditions. Some families were more well-off and willing to buy such dishes.

Su Fengchen listened to everything his niece said.

Shortly after, Su Binglan returned home to look for her husband.

Shen Qiuhua said, “Jin’an accompanied your father to the field.”

Su Binglan said in surprise, “Didn’t you say the soil is too soft because of the rain and that they couldn’t walk on it?”

“Your father knows our rice is growing well, so he wanted to check on it from a distance, not go into the fields.”

Su Binglan thought of something and asked, “Mother, is there still land available in our village?”

“Binglan, are you interested in buying more land?” Shen Qiuhua remembered her daughter buying a large plot of land last time. However, Su Binglan used that land to build a house.

Su Binglan nodded and said, “Yes, Mother. I do want to buy more land.”

Shen Qiuhua said without hesitation, “Binglan, I’ll give you the money if you want to buy land.”

Su Binglan had given a thousand yuan to her mother previously. At that time, she was going to the capital to look for Su Wenxiu, and Shen Qiuhua gave 200 to her daughter.

In addition, the family had spent some to build a house and had earned some back in small amounts.

Ads by Pubfuture At this moment, Shen Qiuhua still had over seven hundred silver taels, so Su Binglan could use it to buy more land. She also knew her daughter would make good use of the land she would buy.

Su Binglan explained, “You hold on to the money, for now, Mother. I’ll do some planning and tell you when I need the money later. I want to buy more land to plant and grow more things in our village.”

Shen Qiuhua was puzzled and said, “The ten acres of land you bought before is already expansive. Didn’t you say you can’t use all of it to build the house? Maybe you can grow grain there.”

Su Binglan patiently explained, “I thought we could grow medicinal herbs on that land. Doesn’t Wenxiu want to study medicine? Buying more land is always helpful because we can grow more crops.

“Crops will be useful at a critical time.” She had her own plans in mind. “I also want to buy that large plot of vacant land on the east side of our village, closer to town.”

That large plot of land was an abandoned sight, and Su Binglan wanted to buy it for other uses.

Shen Qiuhua was stunned. “That part of the village, huh?”

‘That’s not a tiny plot of land since it’s thousands of acres wide.’ She dared not think further and said, “Binglan, that large piece of land will cost a lot of money.”

She was both excited and shocked when she heard her daughter’s words. She knew it was good to have land, but that much land was beyond her understanding. Even if it were for growing crops, the family would not need that much land.

Besides, they would not be able to handle it, even if they hired the entire village. Shen Qiuhua could not help but start calculating the costs in her mind.

Su Binglan looked at her mother’s expression and knew she was in disbelief. “I was just speaking my mind. You don’t have to worry about the rest, Mother.”

Find Out More Personalised Content Here Find Out More Personalised Content Here DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua knew her daughter had plans for what she said. She felt relieved and said, “I know you have your opinions whenever you do things. Still, if we were to buy that land closer to town, it would cost a lot. We don’t have enough money right now.

“However, we have enough to buy a large plot of wasteland in the village. It’s just that no one has cultivated it yet. We must cultivate it well if we want to grow grain.”

Su Binglan said, “We can hire people to do that.”

Shen Qiuhua said, nodding, “What you say goes, Binglan. I’ll follow your lead.”

“It’s always good to have more land. Speaking of which, it’s also a matter of pride.” Su Binglan had her plans for this area and had plenty of things to do. So, she needed to earn more money first.

Even so, it was not enough to rely on small businesses anymore. Su Binglan also needed to do other things to earn money, such as giving medical services in town.

Even if she did, she could not ask for exorbitant prices since most people came from ordinary families. Su Binglan might not even earn much daily for her services.

Still, the real money was on medicinal herbs, and opening a shop to sell them would greatly benefit the Su family.

With these things in mind, Su Binglan said, “We might get busier from now on, so I plan to hire someone to help.”

“You want to hire someone?” Shen Qiuhia had grown accustomed to the self-sufficient lifestyle, so she did not feel comfortable hiring others.

At first, she felt uneasy when her daughter said she would hire long-term workers to work the fields. However, the family would know if their future workers were serious whenever they worked in the fields.

Moreover, the villagers would also work in the fields, and if something were wrong, they would report it to Su Binglan. Nonetheless, the family could not feel comfortable if they opened a medicine shop and hired people to work there.

“Won’t the people we hire know what we’re doing? How can we be at ease and trust them not to steal?” Shen Qiuhua asked.

“Mother, we have to do more significant business in the future. No matter how diligent we are, we can’t do everything ourselves. We must hire people and pay attention to how we use our workers.

“We’ll hire hardworking people with good characteristics. They will work hard if we offer them good benefits.” Su Binglan had her way of doing things when it came to hiring people, but she could not explain it to her mother in such a short time.

Still, she would always explain herself patiently whenever her mother questioned her.

While she and her mother talked, Luo Jin’an and Su Fengmao returned. Su Binglan looked at her husband and thought of what he had previously said about repaying her. She started to look a little uncomfortable.

Was it as Su Binglan thought, or was she overthinking?

Luo Jin’an looked at his wife as soon as he entered the courtyard. After carefully sizing her up and seeing that she was okay, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Luo Jin’an reversed his expression so that no one could see the subtle changes in his emotions. He only laid his gaze upon his wife with his gorgeous eyes. They carried a sense of captivating gentleness.

Su Binglan met her husband’s gaze, and her eyelids trembled.

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao did not see the subtle changes in the young couple’s eyes. Shen Qiuhua glared at her husband, saying, “It’s tough to walk on that wet soil, yet you insist on going out there!”

Even though she said so, hearing the worry in her words was not difficult. Su Fengmao said smilingly, “I wanted to go because I was in a good mood. There’s also plenty of water in the river. The villagers were washing their clothes when I came back.”

Shen Qiuhua said, “You came home just in time. Help me grind the soybeans while I go and wash the clothes. I haven’t washed them over the past two days.”

With that, she handed the spoon to her husband. They used the spoon to scoop the soybeans and put them in the mill.

Luo Jin’an said, “Let me do it.”

Su Fengmao waved his hand and said, “You should rest or read some books. Now that we have the donkey to help grind the beans, I can simply sit here and scoop the soybeans into the stone mill while the donkey turns it. I won’t get tired.”

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao had an easier time and could relax more after buying the donkey. Grinding soybeans did not take as long as it used to, so the older couple could use their time to do other things.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan watched her mother taking a lot of clothes. She said, “Mother, I’ll wash them near the river.”

Shen Qiuhia used to wash clothes for others, and her hands had formed calluses. Although Su Binglan had given her some medicine to help her feel better, her hands were still rough.

Su Binglan felt sorry for her mother.

Shen Qiuhua said, “I can do it. Everyone usually sits together and chats while we wash clothes, so don’t worry about me. I won’t feel tired.”

The villagers preferred washing their clothes in the river because it was faster and cleaner. Moreover, they also wanted to chat while washing clothes to pass the time.

…

It was already late, but Su Binglan did not stay idle. Instead, she started preparing the ingredients to make egg yolk mooncakes.

Luo Jin’an said, “Let me help you.”

Su Binglan stopped moving when she heard her husband. She thought of his condition and did not want him to work, so she said, “You should rest for the next two days. Why don’t you go and read instead?”

Luo Jin’an said lowly, “You’ve been working hard to earn money, but I haven’t done anything.”

Su Binglan instinctively said, “You’re my husband, and it doesn’t matter which of us makes money.

“But I want to do something too,” Luo Jin’an’s voice was deep and attractive, with a hint of tenderness.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan blinked and said severely, “By the way, what did you say about repaying my kindness last time? Was it something about saving my life?”

She could not help but ask these questions as her current state of mind differed from the one she had with Luo Jin’an before. She became highly curious.

Luo Jin’an looked deeply at his wife and said softly, “I said I owe you my life.”

Su Binglan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this unexpected sentence. She never expected him to say it aloud.

“T-That’s what you wanted to say?!” Her eyelids trembled.

Luo Jin’an observed his wife’s expression and thought his words might have frightened her. He said gently, “I-I heard it somewhere else, and it just slipped out.”

Su Binglan heaved a sigh of relief. ‘So, it was just a slip of the tongue. That can’t be what he wanted to say. It seems I was indeed overthinking.’

…

The weather gradually became colder, and Su Binglan started getting busy. She had been busy with several things, like healing her father’s foot and operating on her uncle’s hand.

Since Su Fengmao’s foot had healed, he would also go to the town to help look after the shop. One more person in the shop meant things moved more efficiently.

Half a month later, Su Binglan made mooncakes with various fillings. The first people to taste these mooncakes were, of course, the Su family members. Everyone was ecstatic to taste these mooncakes with various fillings as they had never eaten such things before.

The family remembered fighting just to try the mooncakes when Su Binglan made a plate full of them. When it was almost time for the Mooncake Festival, Su Binglan put the mooncakes in the dessert shop for sale.

Find Out More Personalised Content Here Find Out More Personalised Content Here DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture During that time, the family’s grilled chicken and roast duck had also gotten famous. The duck blood vermicelli Liu Yinyin’s family made also became a specialty item in town.

However, Liu Yinyin’s parents and sister-in-law would set up a stall and go home after selling their food. After Liu Chengwen healed from his poisoning, he often went to town with his wife at noon to sell the duck blood vermicelli.

Afterward, they would clean up the stall and go home. It was also a busy season for farmers, so they had to work the fields after getting home.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Liu were also busy at home. Since their food business was booming, the Liu family’s living conditions started improving. In just half a month, Mrs. Liu had saved plenty of money.

There was a high demand for the family’s duck blood vermicelli, and Mrs. Liu would buy duck blood from Su Fengchen. As for the sweet potatoes the family needed to make the noodles, Mrs. Liu would buy them from Su Binglan.

The townsfolk and villagers also loved eating the grilled chicken and roast duck dishes, making Su Fengchen very busy. Still, he was unwilling to set up a shop or hire workers.

At first, he put the grilled chicken and roast duck in Su Binglan’s shop for sale, but Su Binglan’s mooncakes overshadowed them. Most even had to preorder the mooncakes.

Everyone was busy, so Su Fengchen became too embarrassed to sell his grilled chicken and roast duck in Su Binglan’s dessert shop.

After some thought, he finally brought the two dishes to town to sell. The townsfolk were full of praise and bought more after trying the grilled chicken and roast duck. @@novelbin@@

He would always sell out of these things whenever he sold them in town, so he only needed to stick around for a short while before going home.

It was almost time for the Mooncake Festival, and the town bustled with activities. Many went to town to prepare for the festival by shopping. They would chat with each other as they walked around the streets.

“The mooncakes at Binglan’s Desserts are sublime!”

“I agree. I especially enjoy the various fillings the mooncakes have.”

“They sell ones with egg yolk, ham, or bean paste fillings. There’s a wide variety, yet they’re all delicious.”

“They aren’t too expensive either. I plan to buy more and bring the mooncakes to my sister, who’s in the prefecture capital.”

“I also want to buy some grilled chicken and roast duck because they’re delicious. I don’t know how they make these. I heard it’s a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation.”

“That’s right. More delicious foods have appeared in our town recently, like duck blood vermicelli. If I can afford some, I’d like to bring some to my hometown when I visit my parents so that they can have a taste.”

Everyone went shopping for things for the Mooncake Festival in groups of twos and threes. They would gossip as they walked alongside each other, particularly about the new foods in Tenghe town.

The dishes were so delicious that people could not stop talking about them.

“You’ll know how delicious these dishes are when you ask around. Also, why is there so much variety here when even the capital doesn’t have these things?”

“Exactly. My eldest son used to work in the capital and ate many things. He also noticed that the capital doesn’t have as many delicacies as our town.

!!

“I’m getting hungry again just thinking about it. I want to buy some lamb skewers tonight.”

“Ooh, those skewers are delicious!”

“Now you have several choices. You can have haggis soup today and duck vermicelli tomorrow.”

“There’s a lot of haggis soup to go around, but the duck vermicelli will run out if you’re late to the stall.”

“They only open their stall at noon, so you must be quick. If you’re not, you won’t get any duck vermicelli.”

“The Liu family sells duck vermicelli. My cousin is their neighbor, and I’ve been there a few times.” @@novelbin@@

“Your cousin is from Willow Village? Then do you know how they make the dish?”

Ads by Pubfuture The woman sighed. “My cousin said that the Su family were the ones who taught them. They’re a family from Su Teng Village.

“So, that’s how it is. Making such delicious food seems like the Su family has a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation.”

“I just learned how to make dumplings at my cousin’s house. You should visit us, and I’ll teach you how to make them.”

Another woman said happily, “What are dumplings? They sound good, so I’ll visit your house tonight and learn how to make them.”

In the past two weeks, most Su Teng Village and Willow Village people had learned how to make dumplings. Anyone who learned to make them at home always thought the dumplings were delicious.

Since the villagers could not bear to use white flour to make dumplings, they could use coarse grain flour, and if they could not afford meat, they could use vegetables. Each dumpling would vary in taste, but they were all delicious nonetheless.

Many families wanted to improve their cooking these days and would make dumplings for their meals. A saying started spreading that families typically ate dumplings during the New Year.

Many heard this saying and planned to make dumplings during the New Year as a new tradition. Most also started calling them reunion dumplings.

The Su Teng and Willow Village people had learned to make these delicious dishes. Most would teach their relatives how to make them too. Even the townsfolk learned about them.

…

The demand for mooncakes was too great, and Su Binglan had been busy making more these days. She would make them in the morning and bring a few large boxes of mooncakes to her shop astride her horse.

At that moment, a long queue was outside the dessert shop.

“Shopkeeper, are the mooncakes here yet? Give me two boxes of mooncakes with egg yolk filling.”

“Shopkeeper, I ordered ten boxes. Please don’t forget.”

Ads by Pubfuture “As for me, I want two boxes of assorted mooncakes.”

Lin Zheng was helping at the shop. He was so busy that he could not even catch his breath. He comforted the customers, “One at a time, folks. The goods will be here soon, so don’t worry.”

Since Binglan’s Desserts started selling mooncakes, the business had skyrocketed beyond his imagination. Most townsfolk went there to buy mooncakes.

People from villages eight to ten miles away also went to town just to buy mooncakes from Binglan’s Desserts. Even Lin Zheng and his family enjoyed eating them as his parents, sister, eldest brother, and sister-in-law asked him to order some.

His family wanted mooncakes to bring to their in-law’s houses whenever they visited, and Lin Zheng also had to send a portion to his sister, who lived in the capital.

Fortunately, Lin Zheng was an insider at the dessert shop, and Su Binglan had reserved the portion he needed so that he could send some to his family in advance.

Su Binglan’s gestures moved the Lin family. They said it was right to let Lin Zheng work at Binglan’s Desserts.

However, others began to envy Lin Zheng because he always had the necessary amount of mooncakes. The envious ones said Lin Zheng’s parents had raised their son too well.

Meanwhile, his parents grinned from ear to ear. Whenever he returned home, his parents, eldest brother, and sister-in-law no longer had the same disapproving attitude toward him. They were more enthusiastic when they saw him these days.

His parents no longer thought he was useless and looked at him with gratification and admiration. Just thinking about it gave Lin Zheng goosebumps.

Of course, these changes only happened because of his master. If not for her, Lin Zheng would still be a thug. He was grateful to Su Binglan and would work hard to do whatever his master said.

Nonetheless, Lin Zheng was comforting the customers, even though he was anxious. After all, he did not know when his master would arrive with the mooncakes.

Suddenly, he saw Su Binglan at the door. “Master! You’re finally here!”

Lin Zheng was very observant as he went forward to help his master carry the boxes of mooncakes. Everyone was excited when they placed the mooncakes on the shelves. The customers glued their eyes on the mooncakes, wishing they could snatch at least one.

Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Lin Zheng said, “Don’t worry, everyone. One at a time. We have plenty of mooncakes, so there will be enough for everyone.”

Su Binglan did not expect her business to be so popular. Her parents and second brother would help her at home, while Su Wenzhe and his wife would help during the evening when they closed their shop.

Luo Jin’an also helped his wife make mooncakes after school in the evening and did not rest until midnight. Even so, the family ensured they made enough for the following day.

There was a high demand for mooncakes. The other townsfolk immediately went to reserve some for themselves as soon as they heard about it. Although there were no cell phones or internet access in that era, words spread quickly.

Since the people of that era grew accustomed to visiting their relatives, they would always talk about what was good to eat whenever they saw each other.

Everyone wished to visit their parent’s homes to teach them how to make dumplings, especially these days. It was also a way to strengthen ties through reciprocity.

…

Su Fengchen pushed two large boxes of grilled chicken and roast duck using a small cart. Previously, he wrapped the two dishes independently with special oil paper he made himself.

Still, there was a limit to how many grilled chicken and roast ducks he could make and sell. Therefore, many customers would be waiting in line as soon as Su Fengchen arrived to open his stall.

“Shopkeeper, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for quite a while.”

“You said you would save me a grilled chicken and roast duck yesterday. I hope you remembered.”

Su Fengchen was typically shy and rarely spoke. However, since starting his business, he had no choice but to interact more with people.

“O-Of course, I remember. Don’t worry, everyone. Let me get sorted, and I will be right with you,” he said.

“We’ll help you, shopkeeper.”

“Shopkeeper, I live far away in another town. If I lived in Tenghe Town, I would have gone to your house and ordered in advance, just like everyone else.”

...

Indeed, everyone learned that Su Fengchen lived in Su Teng Village. They would go to his house to order the two dishes beforehand.

Still, Su Fengchen had to save a batch to sell in town to serve his more distant customers. Since he had a low supply with high demand, many would order in advance.

As for Zhizhi, she also helped him prepare and cook the grilled chicken and roast duck. She knew Su Fengchen would typically finish work quickly, so she did not follow him to town.

Su Fengchen was introverted, so he typically did not talk much. These days, he would set up his stall to sell his grilled chicken and roast duck, so naturally, he had to talk to his customers.

However, it was always the customers who asked him questions. He simply answered them and never initiated a conversation. He usually wore a faint smile and was shy but no longer had a melancholy look.

Moreover, after Su Binglan fixed his hand, there was no trauma. His fingers had ultimately returned to normal. If Su Fengchen wanted to resume his studies, he could start attending the academy again.

However, that was no longer what he wanted. He only wished to earn money with his business and live a simple life.

!!

After experiencing many things, he no longer considered taking the imperial exams for achievements and fame. He was satisfied with his current life.

Su Binglan worked in the shop for a while and then went for a walk. She planned to buy some more noodles before going home since the family had used them all.

While shopping, she passed by Drunken Cloud and saw that business was still booming. During this time, she was busy making mooncakes and could not personally deliver goods to Drunken Cloud. Still, she told Su Wenzhe to help deliver mooncakes to Drunken Cloud whenever he went to town.

She heard the liveliness inside Drunken Cloud and smiled faintly.

The weather had become colder during autumn, especially after the rain more than half a month ago. Everyone knew the autumn rain would bring about cold weather.

Nonetheless, Teng He town was lively because the Mooncake Festival was near. One could see many people walking and shopping around the streets.

Ads by Pubfuture Everyone would gather in twos and threes whenever they shopped. Of course, they mostly talked about the new delicacies in town.

“Hurry up. We need to get some duck vermicelli and dumplings. There won’t be any left if we’re late.

“Did the shopkeeper arrive with the goods?”

“They typically arrive now. Come on, quickly.”

A few townsfolk carried their baskets and hurried in one direction. Su Binglan became curious and went over to look. After turning the corner, she saw the townsfolk entering another small street.

The small street was on the eastern side of the town, also where others would set up their stalls. Previously, Su Binglan had also set up her candied chestnuts and tofu stall on that small street.

She could see two long lines near where she last set up her stall. One line was in front of her uncle’s stall, and the other was the Liu family’s stall. @@novelbin@@

Many customers surrounded the stalls, asking about the price of the dishes, while the vendors would shout their replies. The voices rose and fell, making the scene seem very lively. It was similar to a modern town market.

Su Fengchen had been there for a while, so he almost ran out of grilled chicken and roast duck.

“Shopkeeper, I preordered three roast ducks yesterday. Do you still remember?”

Su Fengchen nodded, saying, “Yes, I remember everyone’s orders.”

He took the three roast ducks he had wrapped in advance and gave them to the middle-aged woman as he spoke. The woman looked at the roast ducks and smiled. “Your memory is perfect, shopkeeper. You can remember everyone’s orders.”

Ads by Pubfuture “Of course I can.” Su Fengchen smiled.

Afterward, a few more people bought some grilled chickens while the others bought roast ducks. Su Fengchen quickly sold all his food.

He heaved a sigh of relief, put away the money he earned, and packed his boxes. Then he placed everything on his trolley to push it home when he saw his niece.

Su Fengchen’s eyes lit up. “Binglan? Is that you?”

Su Binglan walked over smilingly. “Hello, Uncle Fengchen. It seems like your business is booming.” She was happy for her uncle.

Su Fengchen said embarrassedly, “This is all thanks to you, Binglan. I know how good grilled chicken and roast duck taste. Everyone enjoys them, but I never expected these dishes to be so popular.

“Some people even come to my house to order them in advance, so I’ve been pretty busy lately.”

Despite being busy, Su Fengchen was in a good mood as he experienced the feeling of truly living his life. In the past, he felt lost, empty, and discouraged. However, he no longer felt that way as he was full of life and enthusiasm.

He thought that he had finally found his calling. He knew he could live a good life if he worked hard. It made him feel at ease. Moreover, earning money and giving it to his mother felt gratifying.

In times gone by, he had to ask his parents for money when he attended a private school. He felt guilty all along. Now that he could earn money, he would repay his parents, which made him feel good.

Su Binglan knew about the high demand for her uncle’s chicken and duck dishes and that her grandparents had started staying up all night working.

Meanwhile, her uncle started buying the villagers’ chickens and ducks. Even Zhizhi had become a good worker for them as she was smart and a quick learner.

See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History See What Personalised Content We Have Based on Your Browsing History DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Initially, Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, and Su Fengchen did not want Zhizhi to help them. However, Zhizhi clung to Su Fengchen day in and day out. She would copy whatever he did.

After a while, she started helping Su Fengchen cook his dishes. Indeed, having one more pair of hands was helpful. After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Uncle Fengchen, you can hire someone to help with your business, you know?”

“B-But, I don’t feel comfortable doing that.” After all, the villagers grew accustomed to a self-sufficient lifestyle. They could not bear to spend money hiring someone.

“Also, I won’t know if the people we hire would want to steal our recipe.” The grilled chicken and roast duck were something his niece had taught them, so Su Fengchen could not let others know the family’s secrets.

Su Binglan helped her uncle put his boxes onto the cart, saying, “So, that’s what you’re concerned about. We can hire people with good characteristics and a better reputation from our village and have them sign an agreement.

“We won’t teach them how to make the dishes. After all, you only need workers to help clean and prep the ducks and chickens while you handle the more important things. Then you won’t have to worry about the workers stealing the recipe.

“Moreover, having your workers sign an agreement will be a sort of guarantee. We’re all from the same village, so if the workers do something against the agreement, they won’t be able to live in the village anymore.”

That was the benefit of living in a tight-knit village. In less than a day, the villagers would know whenever anyone did anything terrible. If one corrupted their morals, the villagers would condemn them. The offender’s family would also feel shame and regret.

After listening to his niece’s explanation, Su Fengchen finally understood what he could do. “Am I stupid, or do you always have a solution to everything, Binglan? I shall discuss this matter with your grandmother soon.”

Su Binglan said, “No, you’re smart because you’re concerned about others stealing what I taught you, so you avoided implementing these methods.”

After all, she was the one who taught Su Fengchen how to make grilled chicken and roast ducks. Su Fengchen always feared others would steal his niece’s recipes and that he would bring shame to himself. Therefore, he felt uneasy about hiring workers.

“You’re always so clear-minded, Binglan. No one can hide anything from you,” said Su Fengchen.

After the uncle and niece talked for a while, Su Fengchen pushed his cart home, and Su Binglan walked to the other side.

Liu Chengwen and his family had set up their stall in a remote corner. Even so, their business was famous.

A big pot of water was in front of Liu Chengwen, and under that pot was a fire to boil the water. He put the vermicelli into the boiling water and scooped it into a bowl when it was ready.

Immediately after, Feng Sisi helped by pouring the duck blood soup into the bowl of vermicelli.

There was also a steamer full of soup dumplings in front of Mrs. Liu.

The family used an extended bench as a table, and a row of small stools was in front of it. The customers could sit there and enjoy their duck vermicelli and soup dumplings.

“Shopkeeper, give me a big bowl of duck vermicelli. Oh, and a set of soup dumplings.”

Feng Sisi replied smilingly, “They’ll be ready soon.”

Then Liu Chengwen placed the noodles into a bowl while his wife added the duck blood soup and handed it to the customer. Mrs. Liu also helped by handing the soup dumpling to Feng Sisi to pass to the customer. @@novelbin@@

!!

“Shopkeeper, your soup dumplings are amazing because of the slight sweetness. I don’t know how you guys make these.”

Mrs. Liu said smilingly, “We’re delighted that you think so. The way we make these is rather complicated. It’s something my daughter’s sister-in-law taught us.”

“Your daughter must’ve married into a good family then.”

Mrs. Liu smiled and chimed in, “That’s right. I wondered why my daughter’s sister-in-law would teach us such a thing, so I told my daughter to go and live a good life with them.”

“Indeed, your soup dumplings are delicious. Still, they’re a little expensive. Is it possible to get a discount?”

A bowl of duck vermicelli would cost five coins, but a set of soup dumplings cost fifteen coins. Of course, it was a little expensive for ordinary people.

Therefore, most customers went to the Liu family’s stall to have duck vermicelli. Only sometimes would they order a set of soup dumplings to taste the freshness.

Ads by Pubfuture Mrs. Liu explained, “Fifteen coins a set is already quite cheap because we make the skins with white flour and stuff them with meat. These ingredients are expensive, honestly.”

Only after hearing Mrs. Liu’s explanation did the customers think the price was reasonable. After all, pork cost 20 to 30 coins a pound back then. White flour was also an expensive ingredient.

“Shopkeeper, give me a serving of soup dumplings too.”

“Please wait a moment, sir. They will be ready soon.” Feng Sisi put aside the soup dumplings for the customer. When she stood up, she saw Su Binglan nearby.

She even thought she was hallucinating. “L-Little Su, Is that you?”

Su Binglan walked over, saying, “Hello, Sister-in-law Feng.”

Then Mrs. Liu and her son also saw Su Binglan.

Mrs. Liu stopped caring about the soup dumplings to rush over and hold Su Binglan’s hand, which was rare for her. “We were busy and didn’t notice you coming. Your hands are cold from the weather.

“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll serve you some duck vermicelli and soup dumplings. You can sit here and eat.”

Su Binglan hurriedly stopped Mrs. Liu and said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Liu. I had lunch before coming here. I was just stopping by to check on how your business is going.”

Mrs. Liu smiled happily and said, “It’s going great! Business is booming, as you can see. It’s all thanks to you. I only asked Yinyin what would go well with the duck vermicelli and if the customers could eat it with dumplings.

“I never expected you to teach her how to make dumplings and have her teach us. I don’t even know how to thank you, Little Su!”

Mrs. Liu was sincerely grateful to Su Binglan. Mrs. Liu was the one who brought her son and the others to town to sell the duck blood vermicelli in the beginning, but there was a limit to the amount they could make.

Ads by Pubfuture No matter how much the customers ate, they would return in the afternoon for more, so Mrs. Liu thought of making another staple dish to fill the customers’ stomachs.

That’s why she asked her daughter for suggestions. However, she never expected to learn how to make soup dumplings.

Su Binglan waved her hand, saying, “You’re too polite, Mrs. Liu. Still, the duck blood vermicelli goes well with soup dumplings. Oh, right, where’s Mr. Liu?”

Mrs. Liu explained, “There’s still work to do in the fields, so he’s taking care of that, especially since we need to harvest rice soon. While he does that, I’ll be here helping at the stall. My husband only comes here occasionally since my son and his wife can handle this.”

Su Binglan looked at the things on display and asked, “Do you bring these things back and forth every day?”

Mrs. Liu replied, “We have a small cart, so it’s convenient to push them home.”

Su Binglan said, “You guys can put these things in my shop’s backyard and come to retrieve them whenever you set up your stall. Then you won’t have to travel so far with these.”

Mrs. Liu interjected, “Oh, we can’t impose on you. Don’t worry. We farmers aren’t that delicate. Besides, we’ve troubled you enough.”

Su Binglan knew Mrs. Liu was being considerate by not wanting to trouble her. She wasn’t a member of the Su family, after all.

Nonetheless, Su Fengzhi usually put his things in Su Binglan’s shop backyard, but Mrs. Liu still felt it was inappropriate.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Mrs. Liu, once you’ve saved up enough money, you can rent a shop in the west. It will cost one silver tael a month to rent a shop like mine, but prices have risen lately, so it’s worth it to rent one earlier.”

Shop rentals increased because of the Su family’s barbecued lamb skewers and haggis soup. There was more foot traffic there, so people started renting more shops in the west.

Mrs. Liu said, nodding, “I see. We can even buy a shop if we earn and save more.”

After all, no one would want to sit in the cold and eat. Hence, it was better to eat in a shop and stay warm.

Still, she had to make more money before winter arrived, so she made some calculations in her heart.

‘When we finish harvesting our rice, my husband can come to town and help us. Then we can sell more duck vermicelli and soup dumplings and earn more money. We can rent a cheap shop with what we earn.’

Su Binglan’s shop was massive, and the rent cost one silver tael a month. If Mrs. Liu rented a small shop, perhaps it would be more affordable. Then she could make money selling her dishes without worry.

However, it would cost half a year’s rent for a shop, and the Liu family could not afford that because they needed some for emergencies.

After pondering, Mrs. Liu said, “The weather is getting colder, and we need to rent a shop during the winter.”

Su Binglan nodded, saying, “Let me know if you need help, Mrs. Liu.”

Mrs. Liu smiled. “Thank you, Little Su.”

Su Binglan’s gestures truly moved her; she thought the Su family were good people. Others would never be so selfless and help the Liu family.

Su Binglan exchanged a few more pleasantries and went shopping for supplies.

Then Mrs. Liu said to her son, “We can rest assured since your sister is married into the Su family.

Liu Chengwen said, “I think Little Su is a great person too.”

“Yeah, she’s sincerely helping us without expecting anything in return. Still, I don’t think she would’ve helped us if it weren’t for your sister.” Mrs. Liu understood everything.

Feng Sisi said, “Chengwen, what your mother said makes sense. Little Su treats us as a family for Yinyin’s sake.”

Mrs. Liu said, “Exactly. You and your sister must visit the Su family during the New Year and other festivals.”

Feng Sisi nodded thoughtfully and said, “Chengwen and I know that, Mother-in-law. Don’t worry.”

…

...

Su Binglan bought meat and flour from the grocery shop and prepared to go home. She was going to leave when Su Wenxiu ran over. He said while panting, “There you are, Binglan. I’ve finally found you.”

Su Binglan looked at her second brother’s expression and frowned. She asked, “What happened, Wenxiu?”

When Su Wenxiu returned from the capital, Su Binglan wanted to teach him medical skills. Still, she had been busy with many things lately, so she told him to go to Hundred Herb Hospital to help whenever possible.

She wanted him to learn from others so she could teach him more at home when she was free. Of course, when she operated on Su Fengmao and Su Fenchen, she let Su Wexiu watch from the sidelines and be her assistant, which was also a form of learning.

When Su Binglan had things to do, she told Su Wenxiu to go to Hundred Herb Hospital to observe. Of course, she informed Doctor Wu about this in advance, and he had no objections.

!!

Doctor Wu also wanted to interact more with a talented doctor like Su Binglan so he could learn more medical skills from her. Although Su Wenxiu did not become an apprentice at Hundred Herb Hospital, Doctor Wu taught him as much as he knew.

Since Su Wenxiu worked and studied hard, Doctor Wu took his teaching seriously. Moreover, the head of the Wu family also sent Doctor Wu a message, telling him to help Su Binglan more.

Even though the family did not say why, the hospital staff knew it was an order from the head family, so they had to obey. Therefore, the staff was even more polite to Su Binglan.

Previously, Su Binglan went to Doctor Wu, asking him to teach Su Wenxiu, and he readily agreed. At that time, she busied herself with making mooncakes while her second brother helped in Hundred Herb Hospital.

When Su Wenxiu ran looking for his sister, it was because something happened in Hundred Herb Hospital.

“I-It’s the hospital!” Su Wenxiu had run too fast and did not catch his breath yet.

Su Binglan looked at Su Wenxiu. “Take a breather, Second Brother. Take your time talking,” she patted his back while speaking.

Su Wenxiu finally caught his breath, saying, “Quick, you must go to Hundred Herb Hospital. Someone has fallen severely ill, and Doctor Wu said it might be the plague! The situation is serious, but we can’t find the root of the disease and can’t treat it. We became desperate and decided to look for your help.”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan’s expression changed when she heard that. “If it’s the plague, the situation could worsen. Don’t speak of this to anyone else yet. I’ll go over and check on the patient.”

“Doctor Wu said the same thing. We’ll cause a panic if the townsfolk find out. Also, the mother and son seem to be from another place. However, the mother is sick while the boy seems okay,” said Su Wenxiu.

Su Binglan’s expression turned cold. “I’ll go and check it out.”

Then she gave the groceries she bought to Su Wenxiu, saying, “Take these to the shop’s backyard for me while I go to the hospital. You must return to the hospital immediately after.”

“Okay, Little Sister.” With that, Su Wenxiu took the noodles and meat his sister bought and went to the dessert shop. He walked in big strides, still in a hurry to return to the hospital to learn from his sister.

Every time his sister treated someone, she would bring him along to learn more, so he had to hurry. After giving Su Wenxiu the groceries, Su Binglan rushed to the hospital.

When Su Binglan entered Hundred Herb Hospital, the nurse and apprentice in charge of the medicine respectfully greeted her. Doctor Wu had instructed them that the Wu family’s head ordered them not to be disrespectful to Miss Su and had to think of ways to help her whenever possible.

The nurse and apprentice respectfully said, “M-Miss Su, you’re finally here.”

Su Binglan looked around. “Where’s Doctor Wu?”

The nurse hurriedly said, “Doctor Wu is inside treating the patient. He told me to send you to him as soon as you arrive.”

Su Binglan nodded, entered the treatment room, and saw Doctor Wu covering his face with gauze to check the woman’s pulse. A little boy was standing next to Doctor Wu.

The boy was handsome but looked thin and weak with widened eyes. He seemed only two to three years old but obediently stood on the sidelines.

“M-Mother, please wake up. Don’t leave me.” The little boy was crying as he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, trying not to let his tears fall. Looking at a little boy like this was unbearable. Still, the woman on the bed was unconscious.

Su Binglan looked over and noticed that the woman’s face looked like it had gotten burned by fire. She looked disfigured and frail, shocking Su Binglan.

Meanwhile, the little boy was still begging Doctor Wu, “D-Doctor, please save my mother!”

Ads by Pubfuture Doctor Wu sighed and said, “Don’t worry. I will do whatever possible to save your mother.”

He looked at the little boy and felt sorry for him, so he tried his best to comfort him because the boy’s mother might have gotten infected by the plague. Also, the little boy mentioned that they had come from the prefecture capital, where it was more likely to catch the plague. That was where Prince Ding’s mansion was.

Su Binglan walked over, saying, “How is she, Doctor Wu?”

Doctor Wu looked like he saw his savior when he looked at Su Binglan. He said excitedly, “Miracle Doctor Su, please take over. Perhaps you’ll know what to do.”

Su Binglan waved her hand. “There’s no need for flattery, Doctor Wu. Please stop calling me ‘Miracle Doctor’ because I’m not.

Doctor Wu nodded. He knew some experts liked to conceal their identities and not be known by others. He said, “Y-Yes, Miss Su.”

The little boy next to him blinked his almond-shaped eyes and looked at Su Binglan. He thought the young lady before him looked beautiful and wondered, ‘is she a miracle doctor?’

“P-Please save my mother, Miss!”

Su Binglan’s heart melted when she looked at the little boy. He was just a child, yet he was so sensible. It made her heart ache. “Don’t worry. Your mother will be okay.”

There was a charming aura around her, and the little boy felt comforted by her words. He looked at Su Binglan nervously but was sensible and did not say anything else.

He only watched from the sidelines, thinking of how beautiful the young lady was. He felt that she resembled a capable fairy.

Su Binglan checked the woman’s pulse and discovered her body was weak, severely malnourished, and poisoned, which could result in an infectious plague. @@novelbin@@

Fortunately, the woman’s condition was mild and had not worsened yet, so she could not infect others.

After checking the woman’s pulse, her eyes narrowed. ‘Could someone else have caused his?’

Su Binglan looked at the little boy and said, “Your mother will be okay after taking some medicine, but can you tell me where you two came from? Is there anyone else who is experiencing the same things as her?”

She did not treat the little boy as an ordinary boy even though he was probably dependent on his mother because his eyes showed a sense of stability that did not match his age. Still, Su Binglan knew the little boy had some information.

The little boy looked at Su Binglan, blinked his eyes, and hesitated before saying, “My mother and I came from the prefecture and passed through the capital city. After resting for two days, we met some people, and my mother told me they were refugees.

At some point, the refugees fell to the ground as if they were sick, so my mother quickly took me away and brought me here.”
