Su Binglan’s eyes lit up as she wondered why she had not thought of that. She said, “You know more than I do. Now we won’t have to buy cotton and can just

fill the dolls with rags or wheat husks. They’ll look just as good.

“We can also make higher-end dolls stuffed with cotton and sell them at a higher price. We can make cheaper and more expensive ones. Then the villagers can afford them too.”

Su Binglan always considered different spending standards for people whenever she started a business. She would not deliberately make high-end products for poorer people who could not afford them.

That way, she could consider both classes of people and make cheap and expensive products.

Ding Wan’s smile became even wider when her niece praised her. She also thought she was helpful and would be more confident in helping her niece manage the embroidery shop.

“That’s all I know. I’m not as knowledgable as you, Binglan.”

“You can’t undervalue yourself, Aunt Ding. Everyone has seen your embroidery skills,” Su Binglan said, “If I were to teach these techniques to others, they might not be able to learn it, but you could quickly grasp it.”

Ding Wan was brilliant in Su Binglan’s eyes. Moreover, Ding Wan was talented in embroidery, so Su Binglan could feel at ease when her aunt was in charge of the embroidery shop.

Ads by Pubfuture Ding Wan was so happy that she laughed out loud. “Ah, I’m so embarrassed to be praised by you.”

Although she said this, Ding Wan was thrilled. She had not been this happy in a long time. After all, she had learned new embroidery techniques from her niece and discussed the shop with her.

Time passed very quickly, and it was soon noon. Ding Wan looked at the sun outside and said, “Binglan, it’s already noon. Let’s have lunch at my place. I’ll go cook now.”

She did not want her niece to go home because she still wanted to learn much more from her. As she talked and embroidered this morning, she felt that time had passed quickly.

Su Binglan was stunned. She felt she had not done much, so why was it already noon? She sighed.

‘Time passed by so quickly.’

“Aunt Ding, you don’t have to do that. I’ll go home for lunch and be back afterward. ”

However, Ding Wan felt she could not let her niece walk home for lunch. She held her niece’s hand and said, “Just eat here. Your parents, Third Aunt Liu, and your uncle have sent me many things. I have plenty of food here.

“Your Uncle Fengzhang and cousin Wenxian aren’t coming home for lunch today, so it’s just the two of us. I know my food can’t compare to your mother’s, so I hope you don’t mind.”

Su Binglan looked at Ding Wan’s eager expression and could only nod, “All right, I’ll eat at your place then. I’ll help you cook.”

Ding Wan could not stop smiling at her niece’s words. “Aw, I’ll be able to eat your cooking for lunch today! It must be delicious.”

She did not feel hungry at first, but when she heard her niece saying she would help with the cooking, Ding Wan felt like she was starving. She said, “I’ll be your assistant.”

Ads by Pubfuture She had eaten Su Binglan’s cooking before, so she knew how delicious it was. Even Su Binglan’s Eight Treasures congee was exceptionally sweet.

Ding Wan looked at her niece expectantly, wondering what they would eat for lunch. She knew Su Binglan could make simple foods more delicious.

Su Binglan looked at the pot and the vegetables, but Ding Wan did not know what her niece was thinking. Ding Wan said, “Binglan, we can have something simple. You don’t have to trouble yourself too much.”

She knew her niece must be busy and could only spend a little time cooking.

Su Binglan looked at the food and then at the plate on the table. She asked, “Aunt Ding, is this the rice you made in the morning?

“Yes, I steamed it in the morning, but I might’ve over-steamed it. Your uncle, Wenxian, and I each had a bowl. There’s still a lot of rice in the pot.” Ding Wan felt a little embarrassed because she was not that good at cooking.

She typically steamed or boiled whatever she made. Fortunately, Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian never thought her food tasted terrible. The father and son duo used to cook for Ding Wan when she was weak.

Now that Ding Wan had recovered, she wanted to do more for her family, so she took the initiative to cook for them daily. Still, she knew the food she made was ordinary and straightforward.

However, Su Fengzhang and his son did not complain and said her cooking was delicious.

“Let’s make egg fried rice for lunch, Aunt Ding. It’s simple and delicious.” Su Binglan’s eyes lit up.

“Egg fried rice?” Ding Wan was confused because it was her first time hearing of such a dish. She wondered if the dish was simply as the name stated.

Although she did not know what it was, she believed in her niece’s cooking.

“All right, let’s make egg fried rice. If you need anything, just tell me.” Ding Wan rolled up her sleeves as she spoke to make it easier for her to cook.

Su Binglan said, “Help me wash the radish and scallions while I crack the eggs, Aunt Ding.”

“All right,” Ding Wan replied as she washed the radishes and scallions.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan cracked two eggs into a bowl and then used her chopsticks to beat them.

“Your grandmother sent us these eggs,” Ding Wan said, “I plan to hatch a nest of chicks with them in a few days. I’ll raise some chickens and cook their eggs once they lay them.”

She and her family had nothing left when they returned home, but Su Fengmao and Su Fengzhi, her second and third brothers-in-law, had sent her and her family some supplies.

Otherwise, Ding Wan and her family would not have anything to eat. Her second and third brothers-in-law even planted and harvested grains for the family.

Ding Wan felt very apologetic. However, Su Fengmao and Su Fengzhi said they were one family, so there was no need to be sorry. Ding Wan felt a warmth in her heart when the two brothers said that.

She had caring relatives, and the family was harmonious. She was full of hope for life when she recovered and felt energetic in everything she did. She also hoped to help her second and third brothers-in-law in the future.

“Your mother sent me this rice.”

Su Binglan smiled. “It was long ago, but I remember you cooking delicious food for my family and me when I was younger. My siblings and I loved eating your food and hoped you would visit as often as possible.”

“That was so many years ago,” Ding Wan said, stunned, “You’ve grown up in a flash. ” @@novelbin@@

A long time had unknowingly passed. Su Binglan was still a child then but had grown in the blink of an eye. Ding Wan’s son had also grown up so fast.

Su Binglan diced the radishes and scallions when her aunt finished washing them. Immediately after, Su Binglan placed the rice into the egg and mixed it well.

Ding Wan watched from the sidelines and thought she would do that for her husband and son next time.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan patiently explained her cooking process, “The rice will absorb the eggs’ fragrance when you mix them like this. You can watch now and cook egg fried rice for Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian in the future.

“You can also make other dishes like green pepper chicken alongside egg fried rice. You can always mix and match dishes, especially with this fried rice..”

Ding Wan listened to her niece’s words seriously. She remembered them so she could make the egg fried rice next time. She said happily, “That’s a good idea, Binglan. Whenever I steam rice, I’m constantly worried that it won’t be enough for Fengzhang and Wenxian if I make too little, so I always want to steam more.

“Still, we’ll keep the leftovers if we have too much. Since that’s the case, we reheat the rice in the pot for a second meal. However, the rice won’t taste as fresh as when I first made it.

“It’s good that we know how precious food is. White rice is valuable, and we won’t waste it. It just lacks taste. The leftover rice will be fragrant and delicious if I use it like this.”

Ding Wan could already tell how delicious the egg fried rice would be before eating it.

Su Binglan heard her aunt’s words and smiled. “You won’t have to worry about making too much rice in the future since you can use the leftovers to make egg fried rice later on.”

“You’re the best, Binglan.” Ding Wan looked at her niece and wished she was her daughter. “Right. Are we starting the fire now?

“Yes, Aunt Ding. You start the fire, and I’ll start cooking.”

“Alright, I’ll get some firewood.” Ding Wan nodded and went to the courtyard

before bringing back some wood. “Your Uncle Fengzhang got up early in the morning and split the firewood.

Ads by Pubfuture “Then he went to your grandparents’ place with Wenxian after breakfast. Your uncle has been caring for me all these years and couldn’t spend time with your grandparents to fulfill his filial duties.

“But I’ve recovered, so Fengzhang and Wenxian have been staying at your grandparents’ for a few days. Fengzhang wants to be with his parents and do things for them.”

Ding Wan would not say these things to anyone else, but she was honest and genuine whenever she was with Su Binglan. That was because Ding Wan trusted her niece and felt she could tell Su Binglan anything.

Ding Wan treated Su Binglan as her daughter.

Ding Wan started the fire as they spoke while Su Binglan added oil to the pot. When the oil was at the right temperature, Su Binglan put in the radishes, scallions, and minced meat.

Then she added the rice with eggs and stir-fried them. After that, she added salt and seasoning. After stir-frying and seasoning the mixture, he added some sesame oil and stir-fried them again.

She removed the fried rice from the pot when she finished cooking it. It was simple and saved time and effort.

Ding Wan was amazed. “You’re done so quickly?”

She looked at the golden yellow egg fried rice on the plate and felt it was fragrant.

Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, it’s that easy to make. Try it and see how it tastes, Aunt Ding.” She passed a spoon and a plate of egg fried rice to Ding Wan as she spoke.

“I’m sure it’ll be delicious,” Ding Wan said, “I just handled the firewood and haven’t washed my hands yet. I’ll go wash them first.”

With that, Ding Wan quickly went to wash her hands. Then she and Su Binglan sat at the table and ate the egg fried rice. Ding Wan took a spoonful and put it in her mouth, chewing and eating. “Binglan, it’s delicious! It’s also very fragrant and flavorful.”

Ads by Pubfuture She did not expect something so simple to be so delicious.

Su Binglan laughed. “You can cook it for Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian when they return.”

“Right. It looks like I learned another thing from you, Binglan. Hahaha.” Ding Wan was so happy that she laughed aloud.

After lunch, Su Binglan and Ding Wan continued discussing the embroidery shop. Su Binglan removed a ball of yarn from her bag before teaching her aunt how to knit. “Aunt Ding, this is a ball of yarn.”

Ding Wan took a look and was stunned. “Why is the thread so thick?”

She had never seen such a thick thread before. She knew it would take work to do anything with such a thick thread and that she could not use it to make clothes.

However, Ding Wan had witnessed her niece’s abilities and felt this would be useful.

“Yes, it’s a ball of yarn made of wool. You can use it to make scarves, sweaters, hats, and gloves.”

Ding Wan needed clarification. “But the clothes made from thick wool must have holes for air to blow through.”

She could not even imagine what clothes made from a ball of yarn would look like. Although she knew her niece would have a way to do it, Ding Wan still felt doubtful.

She could not imagine what kind of clothes and hats she could make from a ball of yarn.

Su Binglan then removed four needles from her bag. “Aunt Ding, you can knit with two needles. These two are for you. Follow me, and I’ll teach you to knit. Although this is thicker than thread) it’s made of sheep wool. The clothes you make with wool will keep you warm.

“It’ll feel much warmer than ordinary clothes. If you wear two sweaters during the winter, you might feel as warm as if you were wearing a cotton-padded jacket.”

The winter here was colder, and people in better conditions would wear cotton-padded jackets. They wore thick clothes made of cotton and looked bloated.

Even so, not everyone could afford to wear cotton-padded jackets. Many families used old cotton to make jackets and wore them every winter. Then they would just need to remove the outer layer of cloth and wash it.

When the weather was warmer, they would dry the cotton inside. The jackets were relatively simple and crude.

However, those who could not afford cotton would not dare go out during

winter because they could quickly freeze to death if they did not wear cotton-filled jackets.

Su Binglan knew sheep wool could keep one warm. Also, wearing a tight sweater on the inside and autumn clothes on the outside felt light and warm.

Ding Wan took the knitting needles curiously.

“Aunt Ding, hold the needle like this, then tie the yarn like this,” Su Binglan said to her aunt. @@novelbin@@

Su Binglan demonstrated it to Ding Wan, but Ding Wan always felt her hands were clumsy and that she needed to learn how to use the two needles. She looked at Su Binglan and thought it was simple, but she soon realized she did not know how to do it when she started.

She felt her hands were more stable when embroidering. “Binglan, please be patient with me. I will learn it in due time.”

She was afraid her niece would think she was a fool. After all, Ding Wan had to help Su Binglan manage the embroidery shop, so she needed to learn how to knit.

She had to learn everything Su Binglan taught her. Only then could she teach others. Ding Wan was severe in this aspect and knew what she must do.

Su Binglan was very patient and took her time teaching Ding Wan. After learning for a while, Ding Wan held the two needles before her and found it very interesting. “It feels like I’m playing with the yarn, Binglan.”

Su Binglan said, “You can make something just by weaving the yarn like this.”

Ding Wan looked at the long scarf she knitted with the needle and sighed. “It’s incredible. I used to think wool was useless, and everyone threw it away. I didn’t expect to be able to make clothes like this. I genuinely admire you, Binglan. It feels warm in my hands.”

She could imagine how cold it would be during the winter if she wore something made of cloth. However, she could feel how warm it would be when she touched something made of wool..

Ding Wan thought the texture of anything woven from wool would be excellent. She could not help but touch the yarn. Just touching it felt comfortable, not to mention wearing it.

She felt things would be warm and comfortable if she could knit clothes with the yarn. She became excited when she imagined it and started to knit seriously.

Su Binglan patiently taught her aunt how to knit because there were many ways to make a sweater. After all, different knitting techniques could produce various patterns and styles.

The more Ding Wan learned from her niece, the more she found it novel. She was particularly interested in these knitting techniques. “So there are so many different knitting techniques. It’s amazing.”

Su Binglan was quick and soon finished knitting a small sweater for Su

Xuexuan and Su Xuehai.

Ding Wan looked at the little sweater her niece held and took them, unable to stop caressing it. “I used to think that knitted sweaters would have too many holes and wouldn’t be suitable for keeping someone warm.

“Now it seems I’ve been overthinking it. The wool is dense, and it looks nice and warm.”

Su Binglan laughed. “That’s why wool is better. Let’s finish these things first.

We’ll make down comforters when the embroidery shop is on the right track.”

She had many ideas and felt she had to slow down. Since she and her aunt did not have enough workforce, they could only do some things first.

They could start making down comforters when Su Xueye’s team finished building the shop, when they hired more people, and when the sales grew. After all, winter had not arrived yet.

Ding Wan used to think she knew many things but now realized she knew less than her niece. She felt guilty and embarrassed but could not help it, so she asked her niece, “What’s a down comforter?”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan patiently explained, “Down comforters are similar to our cotton blankets, Aunty Ding. The outside is the same, but what we stuff them with is different.

“The blankets we use have cotton, but a down comforter has chicken, duck, and goose feathers. That makes the comforters light and warm. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you use one.”

The more Ding Wan listened, the more excited she became. “Then I’m looking forward to it. I want to see what a down comforter looks like.”

“We don’t have enough workforce yet, so we’ll make down comforters when Xueye completes the shop and we hire more people Those chicken, duck, and goose feathers we collected will be useful by then.” Su Binglan had many thoughts about this.

Ding Wan’s expression changed. “No wonder your grandparents washed and dried the duck and chicken feathers when they made their grilled chicken and roast duck. I wondered why they did that when I last visited them. I didn’t expect us to use them to make down comforters.”

She believed in her niece’s abilities. If Su Binglan said the comforters would be light and warm, Ding Wan would trust her. Ding Wan knew it would be much warmer than a cotton blanket.

“Binglan,” Ding Wan seemed to have thought of something and said, “Is the embroidery shop going to be bigger? Will we recruit a lot of people? Do we have enough people in our village?

She felt they would need a lot of workers when she heard Su Binglan’s many ideas. Ding Wan wondered if they would be overwhelmed if they made too many products.

Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, anyone who knows embroidery and sewing can work at our shop. Still, we’ll prioritize our villagers because they’re our people. We know how they are and what they do, so we won’t have to worry about them causing problems.

“If we hire people from other villages, we won’t know much about them or what kind of people they are. That’s why we must be cautious when hiring people from other villages.

“However, if someone we’re familiar with recommends other villagers to us, and if they can vouch for their recommendations, we can hire other villagers to work for us.

Su Binglan was still worried about hiring strangers. That was why she wanted to be familiar with whoever she hired to work at the embroidery shop.

“It’s best if our villagers are familiar with whoever they recommend. We’ll know their addresses and information if they come to work for us. Then if something goes wrong, they won’t be able to get away with it.” @@novelbin@@

Ding Wan immediately understood what her niece meant. “I get it. You only want to hire people if you know their background and specific situations. That should be simple because we can confirm their situation with them.

“We won’t recruit them if they’re dishonest. As for their character, they’re from the surrounding villages, and we can learn about them after some background checking.”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, there’s no rush. Let’s wait for Xueye to complete the embroidery shop first. Then we’ll hire our villagers to make things before taking the next step.

“When Xueye finishes building the shop, you’ll be in charge of hiring alongside me, Aunt Ding. After all, there are some things I don’t understand about embroidery and will need your advice.”

“Listen to yourself,” Ding Wan said, “What do you mean by asking me for advice? I’ve learned a lot from you. If you need me to do anything, just tell me. I like to do such things anyway.”

Su Binglan stayed at Ding Wan’s until the evening when Shen Qiuhua rushed in. “Sister-in-law, are you home?

Ding Wan quickly stopped what she was doing and rushed outside when she heard Shen Qiuhua’s voice. “Is that you, Second Sister-in-law? Come in, come in quickly.”

“Is Binglan with you?” Shen Qiuhua sounded anxious.

Only then did Ding Wan realize something was wrong. “Second sister-in-law, what’s going on? Did something happen? Binglan is on the bed now.”

The sweater Su Binglan was knitting for Su Xuexuan was only short of a few stitches, so she quickly finished it and walked out of the room. “Mother, what’s wrong?

She saw her mother’s worried expression and became concerned.

Shen Qiuhua grabbed her daughter’s hand and said, “Hurry, come take a look. There are two boxes of spoiled tofu. We were supposed to ship them out, but I don’t know how they ended up in the warehouse.

“I only just realized they’re spoiled. What should I do? We’ve wasted so much tofu.” She was anxious, and her heart ached. After all, tofu costs money.

She could not bear to think it was okay because the family had lost a lot of money with two spoiled boxes of tofu.

Shen Qiuhua’s face turned pale, and she was out of her wits. In her moment of anxiety, Shen Qiuhua’s first thought of Su Binglan. She knew she had to tell her daughter.

“The tofu is spoiled?” Su Binglan’s expression was calm.

Ding Wan looked on from the sidelines and felt that her niece was still the calmest and steadiest person she had ever met. It was rare to appear so calm and collected at such a young age.

Still, she was a little worried. “Binglan, just do what you need to do. I’ve already learned enough from you. I’ll ask you if I have any questions.”

Su Binglan nodded. “All right, it’s getting late, Aunt Ding. You don’t have to knit anymore. You can do it during the day when it’s brighter.”

“All right, I’ll listen to you.”

Immediately after, Su Binglan and her mother went straight to the tofu shop..

Shen Qiuhua walked quickly. “Binglan, the workers are blaming themselves now that they know that two boxes of tofu have gone bad. What should we do?

Those two boxes of tofu are worth a lot of money.”

Her heart was heavy because the tofu everyone had worked so hard to make had gone bad. The villagers were typically frugal. Whenever they made food, they could not even bear to waste a single drop, let alone tofu.

They could have eaten the tofu if it had not spoiled. Still, it was such a waste of money and food.

Shen Qiuhua sighed helplessly.

“Don’t worry, Mother. I have an idea,” Su Binglan consoled Shen Qiuhua.

Shen Qiuhua’s dejected expression disappeared when she heard her daughter’s words. She looked at her daughter excitedly and said, “Do you have a way to save the tofu?”

Her eyes brightened when she looked at Su Binglan with anticipation. “I have an idea, but I’ll need to check something first.” Su Binglan nodded canny.

Shen Qiuhua trusted her daughter the most, so the first person she thought of after encountering such a fiasco was Su Binglan. If Su Binglan said there was a way, Shen Qiuhua would not doubt it.

Her mood improved exponentially, and she went to the factory with her daughter. The two went straight to the warehouse where they kept the tofu. As soon as they entered, they could smell the spoiled tofu.

Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua explained, “We had a lot of goods two days ago, so we put these two boxes of tofu below. When I was moving things, I saw these two boxes of tofu and thought they were empty.

“It’s because someone smelled a bizarre scent today that they realized these two boxes of tofu had spoiled.”

Shen Qiuhua was puzzled and wondered what the idea her daughter had was. ‘She can’t salvage spoiled tofu, right?’

Although it was an unbelievable feat, she felt her daughter always had a mysterious way of doing things. After all, it was not the first time her daughter had shocked her.

‘I wonder what the surprise will be this time.’

There were staff members in the tofu shop, and everyone covered their noses while waiting. The rotten tofu smelled bizarre, but they continued working. It was just that their hearts ached for the wasted tofu.

The workers did not know how to deal with it. They felt it was a pity that all that tofu went to waste. After all, it was food and money going down the drain.

Su Binglan looked at the spoiled tofu, and her eyes lit up. “Mother, bring me a big pot. I need it.”

The tofu factory had several large pots, and she wanted to use one.

“Binglan,” Shen Qiuhua asked, “Are you going to use a big pot for cooking the stinky tofu?”

Su Binglan smiled mysteriously. “You’ll find out soon, Mother.”

It just so happened she wanted to make stinky tofu, so she had a use for the spoiled ones.

Ads by Pubfuture Since Su Binglan had said so, Shen Qiuhua would do as her daughter told her. Shen Qiuhua said, ‘Qiu He, go to storage two and tell Cuihua to bring a big pot for us. Tell her to use another pot if she wants to prep the soybeans.”

“Yes, Miss Shen.” Qiu He now worked for Shen Qiuhua. Although Shen Qiuhua

had Qiu He under a contract, she would still pay the girl and would not treat her as a servant.

The Su family trusted Qiu He, Luo Kang, Luo Juan, and Du Xiaoju more than the hired workers.

“Mother, can you help me carry these two boxes of tofu inside? I’ll cut them into small pieces later,” Su Binglan said to Shen Qiuhua.

Shen Qiuhua nodded. Then Su Binglan took out the tofu and cut them into small pieces. She told the staff at the factory, “Help me heat this pot.”

“Yes, Miss Su.”

Whenever Su Binglan ordered someone to do something, someone would immediately oblige. One of the workers immediately heated the pot with firewood.

Everyone was curious about what Su Binglan would do. Of course, they had also heard about the two boxes of spoiled tofu.

Su Binglan poured some oil into the pot. When the oil was hot, she put the pieces of spoiled tofu in and deep-fried them.

She deep-fried the spoiled tofu in the oil, making it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Shen Qiuhua’s heart ached as she looked at the oil in the pot.

‘Does she have to waste so much oil on the spoiled tofu? My heart can’t take it!’

Ads by Pubfuture

Of course, the smell spread and became even more potent when Su Binglan deep-fried the spoiled tofu in the pot. The workers were astounded when they smelled it and did not understand Su Binglan’s intentions.

Although it smelled unpleasant, everyone had experience with daily farm work, feeding chickens, ducks, and pigs. They had smelled more pungent scents before, so they were not disgusted.

Besides, Su Binglan had given them substantial bonuses, so they would not have any complaints even though they had to work with the pungent smell wafting around. Everyone continued working.

Su Binglan saw that the tofu was ready, so she removed it from the pot and put it in another. Since there was a lot of spoiled tofu, she had to cook them in portions.

As she continued deep-frying the tofu, she said to Shen Qiuhua, “Mother, could you go to our house and bring me the spices? Also, wash the wild vegetables and cut them.” @@novelbin@@

Shen Qiuhua nodded in a daze, then went home to get the things.

Su Wenxiu was at home when his mother arrived. He smelled something and asked in surprise, “Mother, where did you go? Why do you smell like that?”

Shen Qiuhua patted Su Wenxiu’s shoulder. “You little brat, you won’t understand even if I tell you. I came home to get the spices.”

She could not be bothered to talk to her son. She got the spices, then washed and cut the vegetables into pieces before taking them to the tofu factory.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan cut all the stinky tofu into pieces after cooking the spoiled tofu. Then she saw her mother coming in with the spices and wild vegetables.

Su Binglan placed a few pieces of stinky tofu on a plate, then added some soy sauce and other seasonings. Afterward, she put in the wild vegetables and mixed them with the stinky tofu. That way, the stinky tofu dish could absorb the flavor.

“Do we have skewers around here, Mother?”

“No, but we have new wooden chopsticks,” Shen Qiuhua said. She had placed those chopsticks at the factory as a backup. “Do you want to use them?”

Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, mother, take it.”

After Shen Qiuhua took the wooden chopsticks, Su Binglan used them to pick up a piece of stinky tofu and ate it. After eating a piece of stinky tofu, she nodded. “Yes, that’s how it’s supposed to taste. It’s delicious. Although, adding some chili will improve the dish.”

She poured some chili into a bowl, dipped the stinky tofu, and ate it smilingly.

Everyone looked at her expression and was in disbelief. They all wondered whether or not the stinky tofu dish tasted good. Nonetheless, they would not believe others but would believe Su Binglan. It seemed the dish might be delicious, after all..

Shen Qiuhua looked at the stinky tofu dish Su Binglan made and asked, “Is it that delicious?

Su Binglan nodded, “Of course, it’s good. Mother, this is good stuff. Quickly have a taste.”

Even though Shen Qiuhua thought it was stinky, she still believed her daughter’s words. She took the wooden chopsticks and picked up a piece of tofu. She was still a little hesitant as she looked at her daughter.

Su Binglan had an encouraging look on her face. “Mother, why would I lie to You? I said it’s delicious, and I wouldn’t. Quickly try it.”

Shen Qiuhua thought about it and agreed. After all, her daughter would never lie to her. That was why the dish would taste delicious. She no longer hesitated and put the stinky tofu into her mouth.

She was astounded as she chewed on the stinky tofu and took in its aroma. “It’s truly delicious. Indeed, it’s fragrant too!”

Shen Qiuhua gulped and took the plate from her daughter to eat more. She quickly devoured five to six pieces.

“Is this how it’s supposed to taste, Binglan? Could you help me add more chili?” She wanted more. Even a few small pieces of stinky tofu were not enough for her.

She could not wait to continue eating as she spoke.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s delicious, isn’t it, Mother?”

Shen Qiuhua kept nodding. “Indeed, it is. I didn’t expect it to taste so good!” She could not care less about anything else and wanted to eat a few more pieces first.

Immediately after, Su Binglan deep-fried a few more pieces of stinky tofu for her mother then added some soy sauce and vegetables for her to eat. Shen Qiuhua ate with a wide smile.

Su Binglan looked at her and said, “Mother, don’t you want to save space for dinner tonight?”

“This is so delicious that I can’t help it.” Shen Qiuhua had never eaten anything like this before. It tasted different from all other food. It was even more different from the taste of regular tofu.

“Binglan, you did have a way to salvage the spoiled tofu after all. I didn’t know you could use spoiled tofu like this. It tastes so good.” Shen Qiuhua had eaten many delicacies with her daughter, but she thought the stinky tofu was unique.

The workers were surprised and wondered what the stinky tofu dish tasted like. Just looking at Shen Qiuhua eating made them feel hungry, sparking their appetite. However, the workers dared not say they wanted to try some, too, because they knew they were at work.

Su Binglan used up all the spoiled tofu and wrapped them in small bags. There were six pieces of stinky tofu in each bag.

“Everyone can take two stinky tofu bags,” she said to the workers, “One for yourselves and the other for home. It’s a benefit of working at the factory. Since the morning shift workers aren’t here, you’ll be responsible for bringing their share to them.”

Su Binglan’s words covered everyone. When the workers heard this, they suspected they were hallucinating. After all, they had just received their pay and a pound of tofu each a few days ago, yet Su Binglan was giving them things again.

Although the dish tasted strange, Su Binglan said it was delicious while her mother enjoyed it a lot, so the workers thought it would be worth a try.

Shen Qiuhua waved. “This stinky tofu is extremely delicious. Everyone, come and try it. You’ll know how delicious it is once you try it.”

Ads by Pubfuture Everyone stopped doing what they were doing when they heard Shen Qiuhua’s words and came over to take a piece of stinky tofu. Although it smelled strange, the workers still tried it.

Their eyes widened when they ate it as everyone revealed expressions of disbelief.

“I didn’t expect it to be this delicious.”

“It’s so good!”

Everyone was full of praise as they ate the stinky tofu with grateful expressions. The treatment they received as tofu factory workers were too good, especially because they got to eat delicacies like these from time to time.

Some could not resist and ate two pieces at once. Fortunately, Su Binglan had put aside two portions for each worker, so 12 pieces of stinky tofu remained. Of course, there was a portion for them to bring home.

Some workers ate a piece and thought it was too delicious, but they did not want to eat more.

“Miss Su, can we bring both our servings home?

Some were reluctant to eat, thinking one piece was enough for them. Instead, they wanted to bring the rest home for their family members to try— especially those with many children. They were reluctant to eat any and only wanted to give their share to their children.

The more conservative workers’ families were in poorer conditions, so they could not afford much good food for their children. Now that they had something good to eat, they wanted to share it with their children.

They felt their children would be happier eating the stinky tofu. Some even wanted to bring the delicacy back to their mothers.

Ads by Pubfuture

They felt that their mothers had suffered and things were not easy for them. Their mothers could not bear to see their children starve but always found ways to keep them fed.

Therefore, whenever these workers had access to good food, they first thought of going home and giving it to their mothers. They knew their mothers would be thrilled to eat something delicious for once.

Su Binglan looked at everyone’s expressions and understood how they felt. She said, “Of course you can! Each of you will get two servings. They’ll be yours to do as you see fit, so you can bring them home and eat them as you wish.”

“Yes, Miss Su. I was just wondering.”

Su Binglan was worried some workers might be unable to try the stinky tofu if they brought it home, so she suggested they had at least one piece before going home.

However, she did not object to those who wanted to bring the delicacy home to share with their families. Either way, she was happy as long as her workers were happy.

Su Binglan initially made the stinky tofu for her employees to try as a benefit of being a worker at the factory. She wanted to make her employees happy.

“Thank you, Miss Su.”

“Thank you, Miss Su. You’re such a good person.” “Miss Su, everyone else is envious of us.”

“Yes, some are still asking if the factory is hiring.”

Su Binglan smiled and explained patiently, “1 won’t be hiring for now. If I do, I’ll tell them publicly.”

Shen Qiuhua finally reacted and said, “Since my daughter said so, you guys can believe it. I’m glad the spoiled tofu didn’t go to waste. At least, Binglan made it into something delicious that everyone could taste.

She asked, “Since this dish is so delicious, can we sell it, Binglan?”

Shen Qiuhua knew many people would buy stinky tofu if they were to sell it because it was delicious. If that were the case, the Su family would not have trouble selling it. @@novelbin@@

However, the delicacy smelled strange, so they had to tell everyone how delicious it was before people could look past it. The Su family would have to carefully think about how to sell it.

“You have the right idea, Mother. We can sell it,” Su Binglan said, “It seems like we can make one more tofu product in the future, and that is stinky tofu. However, this is only delicious after deep-frying.

“We can always make the finished product and sell it. We can hire many more people to sell the Su family’s stinky tofu in various towns..”

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Binglan knew the stinky tofu was a delicious snack. If the people from this era could eat such a snack, they would be delighted. That was because stinky tofu was not only delicious but also cheap.

She had to think of a way to promote stinky tofu, so she planned to build a commercial street. She could make a dedicated street for selling food and snacks if she could do that.

It would become a food street that would become an iconic place in Teng He Town. People from all over would know about it and go to Teng He Town to sightsee and eat food.

That way, Teng He Town would prosper, and its people would benefit from it. It would be easier for the townsfolk and villagers to make money by doing small business in town. It would also be perfect for the villagers to sell their local specialties and vegetables. @@novelbin@@

Su Binglan felt good just thinking about it.

Hearing Su Binglan’s words made Shen Qiuhua excited. “Binglan, do you mean you’re hiring people to sell stinky tofu in town?

“Yes, that’s what I meant.”

“But how do we charge for them?” Shen Qiuhua needed help understanding more about her daughter’s plans.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “We can hire two to three people to set up stalls in various places in town. First, we’ll let the customers taste the stinky tofu for free. After that, they can buy more if they think it’s good.

“Since we already make tofu at the factory, we’ll just need to fry it and add some seasoning before selling it. It’s effortless. We’ll give our workers a commission. How much is it for each serving?

“The more they sell, the more they’ll earn. We’ll bring the balance back to the factory if the workers can’t sell everything.

“You don’t have to worry about the tofu going rancid, Mother. We can store stinky tofu for a long time and put them in a refrigerated cellar. We don’t need too much initially, so we can quickly sell all the stinky tofu we’ve already made.

“When stinky tofu becomes more popular down the line, many more people will come to us and directly purchase them from us. Then we no longer have to worry about selling it.”

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan did not think about making stinky tofu before because she was too busy making regular tofu. However, she used spoiled tofu to make the snack. Everyone thought it was delicious, so she knew she could try to sell it.

After getting the ball rolling, the later stages would be easy to handle.

Shen Qiuhua listened to her daughter’s words and nodded. “You always have a way with these things, Binglan.”

She knew her daughter was too clever to even think of such a thing.

Su Binglan took three portions of stinky tofu and said, “Mother, I’ll bring these to Aunt Ding. Then Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian will also be able to try our stinky tofu when they return home.

“Also, please have someone send these to Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Fengzhi, and the others. Each will have a portion to taste?’

“Sure.” Shen Qiuhua nodded smilingly. “You can go to your Aunt Ding’s house while I go and deliver the food to your grandparents and Madam Liu.”

After all, it was only natural for the whole family to try such delicious food.

Su Binglan took it and went to Ding Wan. Although Ding Wan had promised her niece that she would knit during the day, she still busied herself and did not expect Su Binglan to return so soon.

“Oh, you’re back, Binglan!” Ding Wan was happy but could smell something strange in the air. She thought her niece might have gone to the factory and got the smell of spoiled tofu on her.

Su Binglan handed the three small bags of stinky tofu and said, “Aunt Ding, I brought these foods for you, Uncle Fengzhang, and Cousin Wenxian.”

“What food?” Ding Wan perked up, and her eyes brightened at the mention of food. She did not think much about food previously because she was okay as long as she could eat her fill.

However, she started liking good food more since she returned and had Su Binglan’s cooking a few times. She even felt embarrassed.

Su Binglan explained smilingly, “This is stinky tofu, Aunt Ding. It smells bizarre, but it tastes delicious. My mother ate it, too, and everyone said it was delicious, so I quickly came with a few servings for you. Try it, Aunt Ding.”

Ding Wan smiled happily. “You’re the best, Binglan. You always think of me when you have good food.”

Ads by Pubfuture She felt quite touched as she took the bag from Su Binglan and opened it. A potent smell escaped the bag, making her want to cover her nose, but Su Binglan had told her it would be delicious, and Ding Wan believed her.

“Of course, I’ll think of you. I remember you bringing my siblings and me all the food you made when we were younger.” Su Binglan was a grateful person by nature. That was because the conditions of families in the village were less fortunate at that time. It was always good as long as a family could eat proper food.

Moreover, the Su family only ate coarse-grain rice for almost every meal without meat. Therefore, Ding Wan would sometimes send them some meat with white noodles. The Su family was thrilled whenever they got food from Ding Wan.

Children could never forget what they ate, so Su Binglan felt warm when she thought about this.

Meanwhile, Ding Wan sighed inwardly. She was good at embroidery and earned a lot in the past. Her family was well-off and could afford to buy proper food from time to time.

Sometimes, she would send some to Shen Qiuhua, Madam Liu, and her parents. She did not expect her niece to remember these things. It was fortunate that Ding Wan was not stingy then. Later, her parents and other family members would help her if needed.

“You always remember that and even talk about it often, but your parents often helped my family and me too. Your Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian were always too busy working the fields, so your father and brothers would help them.”

Su Binglan smiled. “Hurry and try it, Aunt Ding. It tastes better while it’s hot.”

“All right, I’ll listen to you.” Ding Wan went to pick up her chopsticks and ate the stinky tofu. If someone else asked her to eat something with such a strange smell, she would not have eaten it and would doubt that it tasted good.

However, she would eat whatever Su Binglan told her to. Only after that did Ding Wan realize how delicious the stinky tofu was.

She gulped her saliva and said, “Binglan, this is truly delicious. You call this stinky tofu, right?”

Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, that’s it. It’s great as long as you think so, Aunt Ding. These two portions are big enough for Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian too.”

Ding Wan could not hide her smile. “Then I won’t argue and thank you on my husband and son’s behalf. They’ll be delighted to eat something this delicious when they return.”

Su Binglan knew there were very few delicacies in this era and that the food culture was very backward. Typically, the food was bland, so people would find stinky tofu incredibly delicious if they ate it.

“The one you ate was for you. I didn’t bring too much, so you can’t eat it all, Aunt Ding.”

“You’re a caring person, Binglan.” After eating her share, Ding Wan still wanted more, but she knew not to eat delicious food without restraint. She thought it was best to savor and taste it.

Then Su Binglan told her about the embroidery shop.

Ding Wan said, “Don’t worry. I’ll go around the village and ask our potential workers tomorrow and keep you in the loop..”

Su Binglan nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Aunt Ding.”

“There’s no trouble. You should be happy that I’m willing to do this.” Ding Wan knew Su Damin, Zhou Wen’e, and the others would be thrilled to work in the embroidery shop if she asked them to. They would not know how to thank Su Binglan by then.

Ding Wan was quite happy imagining everyone’s excited faces. After all, she was delighted because she would do something meaningful.

Su Binglan nodded, feeling at ease leaving her aunt in charge of the embroidery shop.

After talking for a while, she went home just in time for everyone else to have dinner. The villagers were holding stinky tofu, their faces full of bright smiles.

Although it was time for dinner, the sky had not darkened yet. Some people had late dinner and were still chatting at their house entrances. The other villagers were preparing to cook, going to the haystack to collect hay to start a fire.

The rest waited at the door for their children, who were about to return from the factory for dinner. The villagers were stunned when they saw the workers leaving the tofu factory with bags.

“Dahua, did you guys get more things from the factory?”

The workers were holding big bags which seemed full of food. Lin Dahua chuckled. “Yes, Aunt Niu. Miss Su made some delicious food again. It’s called stinky tofu, and it tastes great. Everyone received two portions.

Ads by Pubfuture “Lin Mei worked the morning shift today, and I took her evening shift. I’ll send her two portions to her soon. After all, Miss Su said that everyone who works in the factory will get two portions.”

Aunt Niu looked envious. “That tofu factory is excellent. It looks like they give out food every two to three days.”

“Yeah, it’s pretty good,” Lin Dahua said smilingly. She had been smiling non-stop since she started work at the factory, earning so much pay and benefits.

Aunt Niu looked forward to when the factory would hire more people so that she could work there. She had felt weak and dizzy before, so she could not work at the factory,

However, she was no longer weak or dizzy since taking the medicine Su Binglan had prescribed her. In the past, Aunt Niu dared not even squat to gather firewood for fear she might faint and fall.

Su Binglan said that Aunt Nie was suffering from anemia and malnutrition. Aunt Niu did not quite understand what it meant, but the medicine worked after she took them.

Now, Aunt Niu was energetic and wanted to work and earn money for her family.

Li Mei worked the morning shift that day. Afterward, she went home to get some water and wash her clothes. Usually, her second sister and the others would fight to do housework and wash the clothes.

However, Li Mei knew her siblings were still children, so she busied herself with house chores after work. After washing the clothes, she prepared to cook.

At that moment, Lin Dahua brought the two servings of stinky tofu to her. “Li Mei, are you home?”

Li Mei came out of the kitchen and saw Lin Dahua. Li Mei was stunned and asked, “Sister Lin? Why are you here? Is there something wrong?”

She was nervous and worried that she had done a terrible job at the factory, even though she had worked very hard. She was also concerned about the factory because her family relied on her salary to survive.

Ads by Pubfuture That was why she asked Lin Dahua such questions.

Lin Dahua did not notice Li Mei’s worried expression. She lifted the bag and said happily, “This is the stinky tofu Miss Su told me to bring to you. It’s delicious, and there are two servings for you and your family.”

She handed the two servings to Li Mei as she spoke, but Li Mei had yet to return to her senses.

‘She didn’t come here for anything else besides delivering food?’ Li Mei had a blank expression. Still, she did not forget to express her gratitude, “Thank you, Sister Lin.”

Lin Dahua readily said, “You don’t have to be so formal. Also, don’t let the smell fool you because this is delicious. You’ll know what I mean when you take a bite. All right, that’s all I’ll say since I must hurry home and bring my share to my family and the children. I’ll be leaving now.”

Li Mei nodded. “I’ll send you off, Sister Lin.” Then she re-entered the house after Lin Dahua left.

At that moment, Li Mei regained her senses and shouted happily, “Second Sister, Third Sister, Little Brother, come and eat! Miss Su told someone to send us something!”

The three siblings were peeling peanuts in the house’s inner room. They hurriedly got down from the brick bed when they heard their big sister’s voice.

“Is it more tofu, Big Sister?” Li Mei’s second sister looked on curiously.

“It’s not regular tofu but stinky tofu. Whatever it is, it must be delicious. Come on. There’s a lot of it, so let’s try it together.”

Li Mei’s siblings hesitated even though they wanted to eat the stinky tofu. The trio was still sensible and only ate when their big sister took the first bite.

Li Mei picked up a piece for each of her siblings with her chopsticks and ate alongside them. Although the stinky tofu had a unique taste, it was indeed delicious.

“Big sister, it’s delicious.”

“It’s tastier than regular tofu.”

Li Mei smiled and agreed with her siblings. She thought, ‘Miss Su is so good to everyone. She would give everyone food from time to time, so I must work hard and be more diligent.’

Then she prepared to return to work at the factory the following morning.

Yao Cuihua’s husband, child, and in-laws smiled when she brought home more food. Now, her status in the family was rising. Even her two sisters-in-law fought to work and were very polite to her.

Yao Cuihua’s salary and bonus a few days ago were comparable to the family’s annual crop income. She felt proud when she returned home that evening.

There were many members in the family, so she distributed the 12 pieces of stinky tofu. Every family member received one piece each, but there was an extra piece.

Since Yao Cuihua’s mother-in-law was the head of the household, no one objected when she gave the extra piece to Yao Cuihua.

Whenever Yao Cuihua’s mother-in-law added meat to the stir-fried vegetables during winter, she would prioritize Yao Cuihua and give her a few pieces of meat first.

“Cuihua is our family’s hero. If it weren’t for her, would we get such an opportunity to eat such delicacies? Always remember what kind of life we used to have and what it is now. You should eat more, Cuihua.”

“Yes, I will, Mother-in-law.”

“It’s our duty, Cuihua. How could we have eaten such delicious food if it weren’t for you?” @@novelbin@@

“You don’t say. This stinky tofu is delicious.”

Yao Cuihua said, “I heard from Miss Su that she would also arrange for people to sell stinky tofu in town. I think the price should be affordable. If you like it, you can buy a portion once in a while to try it.”

If it were in the past, Yao Cuihua would not have said such things. After all, her mother-in-law had the final say on how the family spent their money. It was up to her to decide if the family could buy anything.

But now, everyone listened to what Yao Cuihua said, and they did not think anything was wrong with her words. “You make a lot of sense, Cuihua.”

Old Master Su and Old Madam Su were still making grilled chicken when Shen Qiuhua arrived..

Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen went to the house next door to feed the chickens, ducks, and pigs. The two were busy making grilled chicken and roast duck during the day and only had time to look after the livestock at night.

Although they had hired people from the village to help, the demand for grilled chicken and the roasted duck was high, and the family was quite busy. However, they felt fulfilled because they were busy making money.

Now they could improve their living conditions from time to time, primarily because Su Fengchen had Miao Zhizhi by his side. She could accompany him as emotional support, giving him the drive to do anything.

Miao Zhizhi looked at Su Fengchen beside her and felt a sense of security now that she had a home. Therefore, she did not feel tired at all. Instead, she felt full of expectations for life when she was with him.

Even Old Master Su and Old Madam Su felt at ease. Their children were improving, and their days were full of hope. They even slept with smiles on their faces.

Old Madam Su saw Shen Qiuhua and said happily, “Qiuhua is here.”

Shen Qiuhua entered the house with her things and said, “Father-in-law,

Mother-in-law, it’s already dark. Why are you guys still so busy?”

“I’m not tired,” Old Madam Su said, “I’m already familiar with cooking. I just need to keep an eye on the pot. You’re busy with the tofu factory now. Why did you take the time to come here? Your father-in-law and I are okay. Don’t worry.”

“I know,” Shen Qiuhua said, “I’m not tired either and was just managing some affairs. That’s Binglan’s new dish, stinky tofu. Ignore the smell and try it. It’s quite delicious.”

Old Madam Su wiped her hands and took the bags of stinky tofu, “Binglan’s food must be delicious. Come in and sit for a while. Fengchen and Zhizhi went to feed the chickens. They’ll be back soon.”

“I brought a lot so that you can try it first.”

Ads by Pubfuture Old Master Su and Old Madam Su did not argue and ate the stinky tofu. Old Madam Su’s eyes instantly lit up. “Wow, it’s delicious. Did Binglan make this with tofu? Its name is stinky tofu, but it’s tastier than regular tofu.

“This stinky tofu is delicious.” Old Master Su nodded in agreement.

Shen Qiuhua explained, “Indeed, Binglan made it using tofu, but it tastes unique. We’re happy as long as you like it. We made it by chance, and Binglan told me to bring it over for you to taste.”

“Binglan is so considerate.” Old Madam Su chuckled. “You don’t have to leave yet. Why not stay for dinner?”

“That’s okay, Mother-in-law. I’ll have dinner at home,” Shen Qiuhua said while waving, “By the way, when do you plan on helping Fengchen and Zhizhi with their wedding?”

She was curious about when the couple would be official so that she could make preparations in advance. She wanted to be as prepared as possible.

Although she was Su Fengchen’s second sister-in-law in terms of seniority, she treated Su Fengchen like a child.

Old Madam Su could not stop smiling whenever someone mentioned this topic. She smiled so much that her eyes turned into slits. “I’m glad you mentioned that. I was always concerned about Fengchen in the past, but he’s not a kid anymore. Still, I didn’t expect him to find someone like Zhizhi.

“Zhizhi is so good to Fengchen. Your father-in-law and I know those two are considerate and care for each other. We feel at ease when we see them together. ”

Shen Qiuhua was delighted to hear that. “It’s good that my brother-in-law found someone who treats him well. Now everyone can rest assured. I think Zhizhi is a good person. We’re happy she’ll be a part of the family.”

“I’m thinking of getting Fengchen and Zhizhi’s wedding settled by the end of the year,” Old Madam Su said, “But Zhizhi doesn’t have a family, so we can’t let her suffer. We must show her proper etiquette.”

“Then we’ll prepare the betrothal gifts and dowry,” Shen Qiuhua said.

“Yes, that’s what we think too,” Old Madam Su seconded.

“Fengmao and I will also help with the preparations,” Shen Qiuhua added.

Old Madam Su shook her head. “You don’t have to spend so much money. Your father-in-law and I have saved up quite a bit of silver. We have enough to buy whatever we need.

Ads by Pubfuture “There’s an empty plot of land on the east side. We’re planning to expand the current house and make it bigger. We’ll have a courtyard, too, so Fengchen and Zhizhi can live in a bigger house when they have children.

“We’ll also build a place to make our grilled chicken, roast duck, preserved eggs, and salted duck eggs. I’ve already talked to Zhengde, and Madam Zhou will help with the furniture.”

Shen Qiuhua was thrilled. “This is a joyous occasion, so we must do a good job.”

“That’s right. Let’s use this time to celebrate. Thanks to Binglan, everyone in our family has improved this year.” Old Madam Su was happy. She no longer had to worry about her family.

Everyone was healthier and owned businesses, so their days would only improve.

Shen Qiuhua went home after chatting with her in-laws. She returned as Su Binglan did and told her everything. “Binglan, what do you think we should prepare for your Uncle Fengchen and Zhizhi?

“Madam Zhou is making furniture for them while your Uncle Zhengde will renovate their house. We should also do something for Fengchen, right?

After some thought, Su Binglan’s eyes lit up. “Let’s bake them a wedding cake. It’s typically for the bride. That’s why we call it a wedding cake. I can make it sweet and delicious to make it feel more festive.

“My embroidery shop can also make a folding screen and some bedding for Uncle Fengchen and Zhizhi. We should have enough time to complete these things before the New Year.”

Shen Qiuhua immediately knew what to do when she heard her daughter’s words. “You’re the best, Binglan. My head was hurting while trying to figure these things out. Also, we can’t be short of gifts,” she whispered.

Since the family had become wealthy, she felt obligated to give more gifts, especially as Su Fengchen’s sister-in-law.

Su Binglan nodded. “Of course. I have to make a makeup box for Zhizhi too.”

She wanted to make a set of makeup boxes for people to see when the time came. Everyone would be amazed to see Miao Zhizhi holding these gifts during her wedding.

That would also show people that the Su family treated Miao Zhizhi as family. It would also help Miao Zhizhi feel welcomed by the family. @@novelbin@@

Shen Qiuhua said, “When I went to your third aunt’s house to send them food, she said she wanted to set up a few tables for the banquet to make it more lively. Your third uncle will take charge of the banquet and prepare some dishes.”

She was excited as she spoke and thought of how lively the wedding would be.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Mother, we might not have enough food if it was just a few more tables. Many other people will want to attend the wedding too.”

After some thought, Shen Qiuhua realized something and asked, “Will many of our villagers want to give gifts too?”

Shen Qiuhua imagined the things her daughter said. Su Binglan noticed her mother’s strange gaze and asked helplessly, “Mother, why are you looking at me like that?”

Shen Qiuhua looked at her daughter and said thoughtfully, “I think many of our villagers will come bearing gifts because of you. It’ll be lively when that time comes.”

Shen Qiuhua loved the bustle, and her eyes lit up when she thought of what was to come. There was a hint of excitement in her voice as she spoke.

Su Binglan furrowed her brows and asked in confusion. “Why?”

After all, many villagers also worked for Su Zhengde, so it was not just about what Su Binglan did.

Shen Qiuhua smacked her forehead. “Oh, right! You’ll make everyone rich when you open the embroidery shop and more tofu factories. Everyone will be grateful to you.

“The villagers could work and earn a lot of money to improve their family’s conditions since you opened the tofu factory and embroidery shop in the village. I would also be grateful to you and want to participate in whatever our family does.”

Su Binglan felt that her mother made sense. “If that’s the case, we’ll have to prepare a few more things in advance. I’ve already considered everything so that we won’t have to rush when the time comes,” she said.

Shen Qiuhua nodded. “That’s true. Your grandparents are already old, and they must be tired. You’ll still need me, your sister-in-law, and your third aunt to help. It’s okay, Binglan. Just do what you need to do.”

Su Binglan wanted to make her desserts and a wedding cake. If wedding cakes became a tradition, her dessert shop could open up a new market by selling wedding cakes.

Shen Qiuhua was so deep in thought that she had forgotten about dinner. When she returned to her senses, she remembered something and said, “By the way, Binglan, what are we having for dinner?”

She had grown accustomed to asking Su Binglan what to cook for dinner. She knew her daughter could always come up with new ways to eat. Her eyes shined brightly as Su Wenxiu walked in. “Mother, Little Sister, what are you making tor dinner? I’m hungry.”

Ads by Pubfuture He also looked at Su Binglan with anticipation.

Shen Qiuhua handed him the stinky tofu from the stove and said, “This is for you. Your sister made a new dish this afternoon.”

Su Wenxiu had been busy planting herbs all day and had not had a proper meal. He was starving and could not care less about anything else. He ignored the smell of the stinky tofu as he ate it.

His eyes brightened as he chewed. “Mother, this is delicious! Did you make this, Little Sister? It tastes different from the food I’ve had before. There’s a unique flavor to it.”

Su Wenxiu ate in big mouthfuls. After eating a few pieces, he finally realized something. “Why does it smell strange?”

“Even so, doesn’t it taste good?” Su Binglan asked.

Su Wenxiu nodded without hesitation. “Yes, it’s delicious. It’s so tasty that I didn’t even notice the smell. If someone else gave this to me, I wouldn’t eat it because of the smell, but since you made it, I knew it would be delicious.”

Shen Qiuhua patted Su Wenxiu’s head. “You’ve even eaten rotten food before.

Won’t you want to eat something like this?”

Su Wenxiu laughed in embarrassment. “Hehe, I was just joking, Mother. Farmers don’t care so much about food. It’s good enough that we have something like this. I don’t think there’s a problem with the smell. It’s great as long as it’s delicious.”

Su Binglan was in a good mood when she looked at her second brother’s satisfied expression. She enjoyed making delicious food for her family and would be thrilled whenever they ate happily. After all, it was only meaningful if everyone ate together.

“Second Brother, don’t forget we’re supposed to do consultations tomorrow afternoon. Have you prepared enough medicinal herbs?” Su Binglan had a thoughtful expression as she spoke.

Su Wenxiu noticed that some of the villagers were still unwell when he saw them that afternoon. The villagers had suffered illnesses in their earlier years and still had some pain problems, mainly cases like Old Madam Lin’s legs, where she could not sleep when it hurt.

However, Old Madam Lin had kept her pain to herself so that her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren would not worry. @@novelbin@@

Su Binglan’s heart grew heavy thinking about that.

“I don’t neglect my studies and read up on medical cases and treatment methods that I organize daily. I’ve also been studying acupuncture. I’m starting to practice on small animals now.”

Su Wenxiu was most interested in learning acupuncture, but Su Binglan told him to practice on small animals and perform minor surgeries first. He did not quite understand what surgery was but would earnestly learn whatever his sister told him to.

Su Binglan looked at her second brother and said thoughtfully, “Second Brother, being a good doctor is a meaningful thing. You can help many people.

A warmth filled Su Wenxiu’s heart when he heard his sister’s encouraging words. “Yes, Little Sister. I will study hard.”

He felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw Su Binglan giving medical treatment that day. That was because many villagers had recovered from their minor illnesses and pains.

Old Madam Lin no longer felt pain in her legs and waist. The two siblings had also helped cure various stomach aches and headaches. Su Wenxiu felt how meaningful it was to help everyone. Su Binglan nodded and said, “Let’s have ramen tonight.”

“What’s ramen? Is it a type of noodle?”

Su Binglan explained, “Yes, it’s a type of noodle but different from regular noodles. We pull it by hand. I’ll make it myself and show you how it looks afterward.”

Making ramen was elementary to Su Binglan. “Let me help you, my dear,” Shen Qiuhua said.

“Little Sister, I’ll help too.”

Cooking was a happy occasion for the Su family, primarily when they helped Su Binglan cook. It was a fascinating process to make fresh and delicious food. Moreover, the family would find the food incredibly fragrant when they cooked it themselves.

“Can you boil me some water first, Second Brother? It’s good for the noodles to be in warm water.”

“All right, I’ll start the fire immediately,” Su Wenxiu said readily.

Then Su Binglan looked at the small jar of oil and said, “Mother, there’s not much oil left. Go fill it up.”

After all, to prepare the noodles, one needed to apply oil to them.

“We’ve harvested more peanuts this year, but we’ve used more than half of our oil,” Shen Qiuhua said as she took the small jar. “Should I go to town to buy some more oil?”

Shen Qiuhua was reluctant to add oil to her dishes in the past. At most, she would only use a few drops of oil when stewing a pot of vegetables. However, she used a lot more oil whenever she deep-fried vegetables..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Qiuhua recalled the past when she spoke of such things. She remembered how tough things were back then since the family could not afford to waste even a drop of oil.

She was only willing to use more oil now that her family’s conditions had improved. However, the oil they had produced from the roasted peanuts was insufficient, so they could not cook.

In other words, the family was only willing to use the oil they harvested and would not buy it because of how expensive it was. No one was willing to spend on oil and would save as much money as possible.

Shen Qiuhua would peel peanut kernels in the past and keep a portion to use as seeds for the following year. Then she used the rest to roast and make peanut oil.

She typically stored the peanut oil she produced in a large jar and kept it for a year because the family had to wait to harvest more peanuts the following year before making more oil.

The family’s peanut oil production would be insufficient if there was a drought, and their oil would not last long. Therefore, in the past, they would avoid using oil if they could.

Su Binglan was preparing to make the dough and paused when she heard her mother’s words. “I almost forgot about that, Mother. Is the oil in town expensive?”

Although her family’s conditions had improved, and she had earned quite a lot of money, she did not want to spend money so quickly.

After all, the people of that era had grown accustomed to being frugal, and Su Binglan did not want to break that habit. She had to maintain that good habit because making desserts also required oil.

“Indeed, it’s pricey,” Shen Qiuhua sighed, “Especially because we can only produce a limited amount of oil from roasted peanuts. We have just enough to last a year and typically make our own instead of buying because it’s not worth it. ”

Ads by Pubfuture After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Then let’s not buy it first. We should save whatever we have left and find another way to produce more oil.” @@novelbin@@

Peanuts were not the only thing people could use to extract oil. They could use many other things. so Su Binglan decided to go to the back of the mountain to check things out. She knew there must be many more resources in the mountain.

“All right, I’ll listen to you, Binglan.” Shen Qiuhua’s furrowed brows relaxed when she heard her daughter’s words. She knew how capable her daughter was and that she might be able to produce more oil.

Therefore, she was more willing to use the oil as she poured a small jar into the pot. When she did that, the rich peanut fragrance wafted through the air.

Su Binglan could smell it as she scooped the noodles into the pot. Meanwhile,

Su Wenxiu took a deep breath as he lit the fire. He said, “It smells so good!”

Su Binglan could not help but sigh. ‘Peanut oil is so fragrant.’

The peanut oil from that era was unlike the processed oil from modern times, but pure natural peanut oil. The oil from that era did not go through processing procedures, making its fragrance more delicious.

Su Wenxiu boiled the water until it was hot enough while Su Binglan started to knead the dough. She used salt water to knead the dough but had to be precise with her measurements, so she did it slowly.

She used primarily spiritual spring water to pull the dough apart. After kneading the dough, she rolled it into a small ball and let it sit to keep it fresh. Afterward, she would apply oil to keep it fresh for longer.

Then she pulled the dough, twisted it, and placed it on the chopping board for patting, repeating the process. Her actions made Shen Qiuhua and Su Wenxiu curious.

“That’s what ramen looks like?” Su Wenxiu asked as he watched from the sidelines. The mother-son duo could not wait to try it.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan explained as she tried a strand of noodles, “Yes, noodles made with this process are called ramen. It’s different from regular noodles. Still, we must be careful with ramen since it easily breaks in the middle.”

She controlled her strength while pulling the dough. Even Shen Qiuhua found it quite magical. “Oh, I see the noodles getting slimmer.”

“I can make it finer, too,” Su Binglan said.

Su Wenxiu and Shen Qiuhua remained on the sidelines, staring blankly. In the past, Shen Qiuhua used a rolling pin to make the dough thinner and cut it into fine pieces before making noodles.

It was her first time hearing that she could pull the dough by hand, which she found very magical. The noodles were thin, but there were no breaks in the middle.

Su Binglan said while pulling the noodles, “By the way, do we still have pig bones, Mother?”

“Yes, we have plenty.”

Su Binglan nodded, then turned to Su Wenxiu. “Second Brother, continue

watching the fire while mother puts the pig bones into the pot, then add ginger, chilies, scallions, and peppers. The broth will be fragrant when we cook it this way.”

Shen Qiuhua and Su Wenxiu nodded.

Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin brought Luo Jin’an, Su Xuexuan, and Su Xuehai home when evening came. Su Wenwu was still busy at the hotpot restaurant in town, so he typically did not have dinner at home.

Meanwhile, Su Fengmao was settling the goods outside the tofu factory since more people had ordered their products.

Whenever it was time to hand over their products, he would be in charge of shipping, registering the handover, and collecting payment. He would be busier if they sold more products.

Nonetheless, Su Fengmao was busy and could not make it home for dinner.

Su Wenzhe immediately caught a whiff of a delicious aroma as soon as he entered the house. “It smells so good! What did you make this time, Little Sister?”

He and his wife looked forward to going home for dinner every night because they knew they could eat delicious food. Su Binglan could still make something tasty even with the simplest ingredients.

Su Wenzhe sped up the moment he entered the house. He quickly approached the pot and looked at its contents. He was stunned. “Are you making noodles? Why does it smell more fragrant than usual?”

If it were noodles, he would not have thought it was fresh. After all, regular noodles did not smell like that.

“Do I think the noodles are extra fragrant because I’m hungry?”

Liu Yinyin echoed, “The noodles Binglan makes should be different. Of course, it’s extra fragrant. Still, I know Binglan’s food is always the best.”

She admired Su Binglan the most and would be her biggest fan.

Then Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai happily called out to Su Binglan, “Aunt

Binglan, Aunt Binglan!”

Su Binglan said smilingly, “You two can play on the brick bed first. We’ll eat these noodles in a while.”

She looked up and saw her husband as she laughed. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw he was okay. After discovering Luo Jin’an’s true identity, she started worrying about him more.

She feared that the people from the capital would hurt Luo Jin’an if they knew he was still alive.

Su Wenxiu explained while enthusiastically gesturing, “This is ramen. It’s different from regular noodles. Little Sister pulled it by hand and made it very thin.”

Su Wenzhe was in disbelief. “You can do that? Won’t the noodles break?”

“Of course not,” Su Wenxiu said, “Little Sister made it herself, so, of course, it’s holding together well..”
