230 Sweet Potatoes Are Excellent
The rain had stopped as the sky cleared up early in the morning. The sun rose from the east and shone down, casting warm rays of light through the disappearing clouds.
Feng Sisi lit a fire, saying, “I’ll go to the fields and work after breakfast. We should let Wengchen rest while I do more.”
She had lingering fear when she recalled last night’s incident, so she thought of never letting like that happen to her husband again. She also did not want him to get tired.
Mrs. Liu knew her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship. After last night, Mrs. Liu was even more satisfied with Feng Sisi’s behavior. She witnessed her daughter-in-law being sincere to her son. After all, a family had to care for each other.
Mrs. Liu also felt traumatized. She realized that a healthy family was more important than anything else. She said, “You didn’t rest well last night either, Sisi. You should rest today too. Also, the field is wet due to the rain, so it’ll be harder to do any work on the field.”
There was plenty of mud on the ground because of the rain and Feng Sisi could not even step onto the field. She had no way of working anyway.
Therefore, the villagers would typically wait for the soil to dry before returning to work on their fields and the mountain.
“Mother-in-law, are we going to town to fetch medicine for Chengwen later?” Feng Sisi asked.
Mrs. Liu replied, “Yes, we will. We’ve saved enough money, so I’ll go to town after breakfast to fetch some medicine. You can stay home and look after Chengwen.
“We should thank Yinyin for giving us a silver tael. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have enough to buy medicine.”
The villagers typically tried their best not to fall sick because they might not be able to afford medicine, let alone visit a doctor.
Feng Sisi knew there were countless ways of spending money even though her family lived careful lives. Even her son, Liu Heng, had to pay a monthly fee to be an apprentice carpenter. They could also spend money to buy and give gifts during festivals.
After some thought, Feng Sisi said, “Why don’t I make some food and sell it in town? Then we can earn more money.”
Indeed, Mrs. Liu was also thinking of ways to earn money. “That would be too tiring, and it won’t be that easy.”
The family knew they could not just rely on their crops, and it was better to think of other ways to earn money.
Feng Sisi said, “I’m capable enough for that, Mother-in-law. I can always earn more if I work harder. I just don’t want to delay Chengwen’s healing process. He must get better.”
She felt the Liu family did not save enough money to buy medicine from town, so she became anxious. She would prefer to borrow money from her parents if it were possible.
However, one of her sisters-in-law was stingy. Even if Feng Sisi returned home, they would humiliate her.
Mrs. Liu and Feng Sisi discretely spoke because everyone was tired from last night’s vigil.
Liu Yinyin and her husband did not rest much. It was almost dawn when Liu Chengwen woke up, so Mrs. Liu urged her daughter and son-in-law to catch up on some sleep.
However, she and Feng Sisi had not slept. Instead, they busied themselves with making breakfast while Mr. Liu helped.
Although Su Binglan was in the back room, she had excellent hearing. She could still hear Feng Sisi and Mrs. Liu talking, even if they lowered their voices. Su Binglan seemed to be in deep thought at that moment.
…
When it was time for breakfast, Mrs. Liu and Feng Sisi enthusiastically urged Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu to eat more.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Aunt Liu, Miss Feng, the breakfast you two made was delicious!”
Mrs. Liu said smilingly, “I’m glad you think so. Please eat more and make yourselves at home.”
Su Binglan said, “You guys have commendable culinary skills. Your food business will be famous if you start one in town.”
Mrs. Liu heard Su Binglan’s words and thought of what her daughter previously said when she returned. “Little Su, to be honest, I have an idea, but we don’t know much about Tenghe Town. We don’t even know what to do.”
Feng Sisi also became excited. “Little Su, I know you’re a person who always has bright ideas, so I want to hear your thoughts on this.”
She knew the shop her sister-in-law ran was Su Binglan’s idea, and Su Binglan was no ordinary person. She also knew Liu Yinyin’s sister-in-law would have money-making ideas.
Even Mr. Liu was excited as he put down his chopsticks to listen to Su Binglan. Although Liu Chengwen was on the bed, his hearing was excellent, so he listened in on the conversation.
Su Binglan looked at the pot on the stove and said, “I saw Mrs. Liu slaughtering a chicken in the morning and draining its blood. Chicken blood is also a good ingredient, you know?”
“Is it?”
Mrs. Liu had already slaughtered and drained the chicken’s blood when Su Binglan woke up in the morning. She wanted to get rid of the blood but did not have the time.
Su Binglan said, nodding, “Yes, it is. You can make chicken blood noodles.”
Feng Sisi said, “Chicken blood noodles? I’ve never heard of that before, Little Su.” Her eyes were wide open, and her expression was severe.
Su Binglan said, “I named the dish myself. It’s a dish made with chicken blood and noodles. If you’re interested, I can teach you guys how to make it after dinner.”
Mrs. Liu said gratefully, “I don’t know how to thank you, Little Su.”
She was not a fool, after all. Mrs. Liu knew Su Binglan was helping her family. Otherwise, why would Su Binglan tell them her business ideas? Mrs. Liu sighed inwardly. Fortunately, her family had sincerely helped the Su family in the past.
“You’re too polite, Mrs. Liu. I think you and Miss Feng’s cooking is exceptional, so making chicken blood noodles will suit you two. When the time comes, the townsfolk can enjoy your dishes,” Su Binglan said.
She thought Tenghe Town would become famous if there were more delicacies there. People worldwide would visit Tenghe Town to eat these delicacies in the future because of their fame.
It would also bring out the local area’s development. When the time came, Tenghe Town would become prosperous, and Su Binglan enjoyed seeing lively and prosperous scenes.
Mrs. Liu was utterly excited. “I won’t argue with that, Little Su. I’ll undoubtedly learn and cook well.”
Feng Sisi did not have much time to eat breakfast, so she quickly ate so she could listen to Su Binglan teach them about chicken blood noodles.
After breakfast, Su Binglan went to the yard to look for her horse and took a bag from it. It was empty, but no one knew that. She discreetly removed some sweet potatoes from her pocket dimension and put them into the empty bag.
“You guys will need sweet potatoes to make the dish. Sweet potatoes are excellent as you can roast and add them to the chicken blood noodles.”
