Chapter 746 - 746: Corn Noodles

Whenever he made a mistake, his master would punish him severely. Liu Heng could not stand it. However, he would swallow his grievances and not say a thing. Moreover, he could not visit his family often.

Whenever Liu Chengwhen and Feng Sisi asked Liu Heng how his apprenticeship was, he could only nod and say it went well. He only told his parents the good things but not the bad experiences.

Liu Heng did not want his grandparents to worry, either. Only he knew about his grievances. Nonetheless, Liu Heng thought it was better to be around his family because he could eat and sleep well at home.

Liu Heng no longer needed to suffer his apprenticeship now that he helped his grandparents. The family made an excellent living with their duck blood vermicelli shop and selling noodle products.

Liu Heng felt motivated to work when he earned more money. Although it was already late at night, he did not feel tired or sleepy.

“Your master barely taught you anything?” Feng Sisi’s heart ached when she heard that. “Did you suffer a lot during your apprenticeship?”

She thought her son differed from how he was at home after experiencing hardships elsewhere. Her son seemed more mature now. Still, she could not help but worry, especially since Liu Heng always said he was okay.

Liu Heng knew his mother usually looked careless but was attentive to him.

He said, “It’s okay, Mother. I feel much better being at home with everyone. I can see Grandpa and Grandma daily and sleep soundly.”

Feng Sisi’s eyes reddened. “l want you to be with us because you can eat and sleep well here. I only feel at ease whenever you’re around.”

Mrs. Liu sighed, “Indeed, it’s better now that you’re home. We had no other choice last time, but you can stay home now that our living conditions have improved. We’ll leave the family businesses to you in the future.”

Liu Heng said, “l hope to have siblings like Uncle Wenzhe. They always work together.”

Feng Sisi and Liu Chengwen’s faces reddened when they heard that.

Meanwhile. Mrs. Liu said with relief. “You’re a sensible child. Liu Heng.’

In her eyes, having many siblings was beneficial because they could care for each other. She thought it was fortunate that Liu Heng was willing to have siblings.

Feng Sisi and Liu Chengwen agreed with their son. Now that the family was well off, they could have more children. If they had two children, they could run the businesses together. Hence, the couple planned to have a second child.

Mr. Liu thought about the vermicelli factory and said, “Should we buy land tomorrow and discuss building the factory?”

The family had their hands full of orders. They even had to decline some orders because they could not meet the demand, which was a shame.

Liu Chengwen said, “Our business will be similar to the tofu factory. The staff will be responsible for specific tasks, so only we will know the right way to make vermicelli.”

Mrs. Liu said, “We’ve saved plenty of money, and there are many plots affordable of land in Willow Village. We can buy wasteland to build a factory. After repurposing the land, we can build our factory there.”

Although the family had plenty of money now, she was still frugal and wanted to save as much as possible.

Liu Chengwen nodded. “Yeah, we can spend our money efficiently by buying wasteland instead of fertile land.’

Liu Heng looked at the vermicelli he packed and said, “If we can make these with sweet potatoes, can we also make them with corn? We planted many crops last year but became too busy to shuck them. They’re just sitting around.’

He wondered what the family could do to put the corns to use. Then, he suddenly considered using them to make noodles. However, he did not know if they would taste good.

The others stopped working when they heard Liu Hengs question. They had considered the same thing before. If they could use corn to make noodles, their business would become even more popular.

“Should we try to make something with corn noodles? We can even open another shop.”

Mrs. Liu returned to her senses and said, “You’re right, Liu Heng. Let’s try to make something with our corn.”

“All right, let’s do that.” Feng Sisi was ecstatic. If the family could develop a new dish, they could earn much more.

Mrs. Liu asked, “Didn’t you yawn just now? Aren’t you tired?”

“I’m not, Mother-in-law,” Feng Sisi said energetically. She felt she would be enthusiastic even if she did not sleep all night.

After some thought, Mrs. Liu said, “We’ll try making something with the corn tomorrow. I don’t know if we can figure it out now, so let’s get a good night’s sleep first. Rest is important, after all. We can only work with a fresh mind.”

Since she had spoken, the family could only finish their work before washing up and going to bed. However, they could not stop thinking about the factory as they lay in their beds.

Since making noodles from corn was entirely new to the family, they wondered if they could figure it out. Although they considered asking for Su Binglan’s help, they hesitated to trouble her again.

Hence, the family decided to try it themselves. They would feel more at ease if they started a business with something they independently developed.

The Taos from Willow Village also slept late that night. Soon, the family’s pottery workshop would open for business as usual. Although the Tao family was responsible for the workshop’s development, it still belonged to Su Binglan.

Even so, the Taos regarded Su Binglan as their benefactor. Since they would reopen the following day, the family cleaned and tidied the workshop a day before.

Shi Fang also helped, but Tao Dayong felt sorry for her. He said softly, “Go home and sleep. I’ll finish up here.”

The family would typically be sound asleep at this time, so Tao Dayong thought Shi Fang would be tired. However, she said sweetly, “But I’m not tired. I can continue helping you..”
