Su Fengmao took the iron skewer and stabbed it through the middle of the corn cobs to make it easier for everyone to peel the husk. He also agreed with his daughter, “We will have enough food and clothing if the whole family works together. ”
Su Xuexuan blinked and said, “Grandpa, our teacher said that a harmonious home brings prosperity to all things.”
When Su Fengmao heard this, he was so happy that he almost stabbed his hand with the iron skewer. “Yes, that’s the truth, Xuexuan. As expected of my precious grandson, you’re so knowledgeable.”
Su Xuexuan smiled shyly after his grandfather praised him.
Su Binglan could see how much Su Xuexuan enjoyed reading and studying. She knew he would be a brilliant man when he grew up.
However, she could not figure out what Su Xuehai liked, so she thought of letting him study at the academy alongside his brother for the time being.
Liu Yinyin started to think seriously about opening a big tofu factory. She thought of a key problem and asked, “Binglan, we always pick soybeans from the mountain. Although there are plenty, there might not be enough for us to make tofu products when we open the factory.
“Besides, the villagers would also pick them if they knew there were soybeans in the back of the mountain. However, no one has discovered it since that place is remote.”
Even though there was not much food in the past, the family could rely on soybeans. When spring came, enough soybeans would grow, but now it seemed that the number of soybeans might not be enough.
Su Binglan also thought of this problem before, but she guessed that her family could not make much tofu or use that much.
There were many soybeans in the back of the mountain to last until next spring, and when the time came, they could plant more. If that were the case, the family would have enough to use in their factory.
However, the demand for soybeans was too high because the family was going to open a tofu factory.
Su Binglan pondered this problem when Su Wenxiu said, “We can only plant these things during spring, right?”
Shen Qiuhua disapproved and said, “I saw many soybeans in the back of the mountain, but it’s almost winter. Even though there are many, it’s not the right time to plant more.”
Su Fengmao sighed and said, “The weather is getting colder, so we can’t plant anything. ”
“Is it still possible to open a factory, or must we wait until spring? That’ll take a long time, so won’t it delay things?”
“The main thing is that Binglan wants to open her hotpot restaurant. She’ll need plenty of tofu products too.”
Su Fengmao did not think about opening a tofu factory before, so he did not mind it. He had just learned of the factory and got excited, but he felt disappointed after learning it was no longer possible. One could only imagine the sadness in hig heart
Since the weather was getting colder, the villagers knew it was impossible to plant anything because their crops would freeze when it snowed. Even if they planted seeds, it would be a waste of effort.
Everyone had experienced this in the past and no longer wasted their time. If that were not the case, no one would be idle after the autumn harvest if they could plant things. Instead, they would actively plant more.
After all, everyone hoped to harvest as much as possible from the fields. If it were not for Su Binglan, the family would not have known about soybeans and that they could make tofu out of them.
Now that the family thought about it, they felt it was magical. Although their family’s conditions had improved, soybeans held a special place in their hearts because it was the first thing that helped them earn money.
Therefore, the whole family wanted to run a big tofu factory so many more people could taste it and know how delicious it was. That would bring more happiness to the family.
Su Binglan knew soybeans had different sowing times depending on the weather. Still, the soybeans on the mountain might not survive if the family planted more during autumn.
However, if she planted the soybeans she had improved in her pocket dimension, Su Binglan believed they would survive the harsh weather.
Although it was still autumn, it was not too cold and suitable for sowing.
Moreover, Su Binglan knew she had to try. After some thought, she said, “Are
First Granduncle and the others asleep at this time?”
Su Fengmao suddenly felt energized. ‘Will my daughter pull off another miracle?’
He said in high spirits, “Don’t worry. Your first granduncle is the village chief, so he usually sleeps late. It’s just after dinner, so he must still be awake.”
Everyone looked at Su Binglan in unison as she said smilingly, “We should buy more land and grow soybeans.”
She peeled the corn in her hand and put the cobs into a stack as she spoke. She would use the cobs later to grind them into corn flour. After peeling the cobs, she could also dry them as firewood.
After all, the villagers were reluctant to waste anything as they would use whatever dried-up foliage from their crops as firewood.
Shen Qiuhua returned to her senses and said, “Our family has enough land,
Binglan. Do we still need more?”
Su Binglan replied, “Yes, we do. We built a house on one and encircled it with walls, but that’s for Wenxiu to grow his medicinal herbs. We could still use another large plot to build our tofu factory. Besides that, we need to reserve some of that land for later use.’
That piece of land would be enough for the family to build another factory or a dormitory for the employees.
“However, we don’t have enough land for our family to grow food crops. We need to grow more soybeans, right? If we grow too many, we’ll hire more people to make more tofu products,” Su Binglan continued.
Su Wenzhe’s blood boiled again. “Yes, we’ll do as you suggested, Binglan! Still, I feel you’re doing everything, so the tofu factory should belong to you. We’ll just help Binglan make it a reality.”
Su Wenzhe thought he and his wife barely did much since his sister arranged everything. After all, how could he have the nerve to ask his sister to help with everything?
Su Binglan did not care about these things, saying, “It’s nothing, Big Brother.” She was willing to help her family because they were sincere.
Liu Yinyin said thoughtfully, “We won’t feel at ease if we continue doing things like before, Binglan.”
She felt her consciousness was in turmoil. She could not sleep peacefully if she took advantage of her sister-in-law.
Everyone in the Su family was honest. Since Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua had spoken, they would follow Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin’s wishes. Nonetheless, everyone knew Su Binglan deserved all the credit.
If it were not for her, the family would not have known these things, let alone recognize soybeans and make tofu.
Su Wenzhe and his wife easily felt satisfied because they sold haggis soup and other things in their shop, and business was excellent. Moreover, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai would not have been able to attend school if it were not for Su Binglan.
Su Wenzhe, his wife, and his sons knew they could not be greedy..
