Chapter 914: Harvesting Wheat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone was satisfied as they ate the cold noodles. Although they did not have an appetite initially, the cold noodles were refreshing. “It tastes even better when you eat it with some chili.”

“Don’t forget about the sauce.”

“Su Teng Village never stops improving. There are so many things I want to eat.”

“Yeah, it’s convenient for us to live near the market and food street. People from other places visit to eat the delicacies here. It’s a little troublesome for them but not for us.’

“Even so, we have plenty of food and entertainment here. People visit to spend their holidays. The inns in Tenghe Town are always full.”

“l saw a new building in Stone Village, I heard it’ll be an inn for visitors to stay when they come over. Miss Su designed that inn, too. I heard it’ll differ from ordinary inns, so I’m curious what the inside will look like.”

Everyone chatted as they ate.

Many merchants saw a business opportunity and bought Liangpi from the cold noodle factory. They planned to open cold noodle shops in their hometowns for the villagers to manage.

The merchants could also hire their relatives and make money if business was good. It was also easy to make Liangpi, and those who did not know how to cook could quickly learn.

They could soak the ready-made noodles in warm water and season them with vegetable seasoning.

After completing the cold noodle factory, Su Binglan completed the cow farm. She then opened a milk tea factory, which became popular among the people.

Afterward, she opened a milk tea shop in Su Teng Village and Tenghe Town. She also planned to open chain stores around the prefecture. Once she established these things, everyone would love the milk tea shops.

People would buy a cup of milk tea and a bag of popcorn when they watched the plays at the Grand Theater. Everyone felt relaxed as they drank and ate at the theater. It was a form of enjoyment for them.

When Su Binglan returned home in the evening, she saw her parents sitting outside and eating popsicles.

Su Binglan could not help but chuckle. “Father, Mother, you can’t eat too many popsicles daily.”

Shen Qiuhua nodded. “We know. We had one for lunch and will have another after dinner. These popsicles are so good.

She knew she could not eat too many, so she ate her popsicles slowly to savor them. “We’ll harvest the wheat in a few days. We can eat ice cream when it’s hot outside.

“Your father and I can use ice boxes to store the popsicles and put them in carts to sell. That way, it’ll be more convenient for everyone to buy them.”

“Yeah, I don’t have much to do anyway,” Su Fengmao said, “l can help with that. Since we’ve hired people to harvest our wheat, Jin’an and I are home most of the time. We can help each other.”

Indeed, Su Fengmao hired people to harvest the familys wheat. Since the family had so much land, they would need help. Still, every household was busy when it was harvesting season.

Most continued to farm, even though they worked at the factories. Hence, they had no time to help others harvest wheat. Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua planned to do it themselves because they knew everyone would be busy.

“l don’t want you and Jin’an to tire yourselves out. It’s so hot and tiring to harvest wheat now.”

“It’s okay. I’ll work with your father and brothers.”

Su Binglan said, “Okay, you don’t have to persuade me. We’ll go to the fields together when it’s time to harvest. The more people there are, the quicker we’ll finish the job.”

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua could not argue when their daughter said that. A few days later, every household took their tools to the fields to harvest the wheat.

The golden wheat fluttered in the wind, making the place look beautiful. Even Su Fengmao and his family went to the fields that day.

Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an moved swiftly. After harvesting everything in one plot of land, they tied up the wheat and placed it on a small cart. Su Binglan then pushed the cart into the yard.

Even Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai helped out with small sickles. Su Binglan looked at them and said, “You two can play at the side. I don’t want you to get injured.”

Liu Yinyin said, “It’s okay, Binglan. I’d like them to do some work. Besides, it’ll teach them to work hard for their food and its value. They’ll learn not to waste food, too.’

Su Binglan felt her sister-in-law made a lot of sense.

Since it was scorching outside, the family was sweating profusely. Su Binglan looked around and felt touched. She remembered how hard it was for the family to get food last time.

If a rice grain fell, they would pick it up later. Sometimes, they could even collect a basket’s worth. The farmers knew how challenging it was to grow food, and they could not bear to waste even a single grain. Even if they grew thirsty, they would not waste time drinking water.

The family worked until noon. Su Binglan realized how hot it had gotten and said, “Let’s go home for lunch first. We’ll rest before returning to harvest more wheat.’

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua hunched over as they worked. Shen Qiuhua stood upright and removed her hat to fan herself with it, saying, “l didn’t realize it was already noon. I’m hungry, too.”

Su Fengmao looked around and said, “We have plenty of wheat at home but will have to work a little longer. We could bring some lunch tomorrow when we continue harvesting the wheat.”

“We can’t tire ourselves out too much,” Su Binglan said helplessly, “Once we finish harvesting the wheat, we’ll hire some people to help with the rest.”

Su Fengmao said, “I’m not tired at all. It’s just the same as when I harvested in the past. Everyone would bring food to the fields and eat there during their breaks. Even so, we only brought cornbread and water back then.”

Su Binglan recalled the time when the family was busy in the fields. Indeed, it was tough back then. Fortunately, everything was fine now. She urged, “Please listen to me.’

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua knew they should listen to their daughter’s arrangements. The family finally walked home after Su Binglan’s insistence. Although Shen Qiuhua was hungry, she did not want to eat because she was tired. She had been working all morning, and bending over for so long made her uncomfortable..
