The vendors also made soft and fragrant pancakes. Everyone would buy more after trying one. These vendors relied on themselves to innovate the food they cooked, resulting in an excellent profit.

These ordinary people were happy to sell their products in Su Teng Village.

Although they were always busy, business was good.

Many more people went to the market because it was off-season. They even brought their children along. Frugal people were also willing to buy delicious food for their children whenever they went to the market.

“How much is this fried dough twist?”

The vendor was happy to receive a customer and replied, “Only three coins for a pound.”

The woman with a child thought it was pretty cheap. She said, “Give me a pound.”

“All right, ma’am,” the vendor eagerly weighed the fried dough twists and handed them to the woman.

The woman looked at the food and smiled. Then she broke off a small piece and gave it to her son. “Do you want some? You can eat some first, and then I’ll buy you a bowl of tofu pudding later.”

The little boy laughed when he heard his mother’s words. He happily said, “l like tofu pudding.”

The woman agreed. remember bringing you to have it once when we came here. You kept saying you wanted more. Don’t worry. Your father is already lining up for it.”

Many people were at the shed before the tofu factory when the mother and son arrived. The factory was so busy that they had to line up sometimes.

Previously, the woman and her family had gone to check it out, but many people were already waiting there. Since that was the case, the woman’s husband joined the line while his wife and son went shopping.

After all, the family was at the market, and the children liked to have fun shopping. Therefore, the woman brought her son around the market while her husband waited in line.

The woman’s family was more frugal than most and could not recklessly buy things whenever they came to the market. Most who visited would only be willing to spend a few coins as a budget. It helped them resist the urge to overbuy.

Hence, most only bought a bowl of tofu pudding. It made most feel included when going to the market.

The woman was only willing to spend a few coins but saw a sachet of herbs to calm her nerves as she walked around. When she heard Miss Su l s student had made it, she could not help but spend a coin to buy one.

“Mother, what’s that?” The little boy was curious.

The woman explained, “There are medicinal herbs inside that can help me sleep. Your grandmother has always been unable to sleep well. If I buy this, she should be able to sleep well.”

The little boy nodded. “We can also share the fried dough twists with Grandma.’

His grandmother was good to him, and he missed her.

When the woman heard her son’s words, she could not help but smile and pat his head.

Older men and women also came to the market with their sons and daughters-in-law. They were shocked when they saw such a lively market. “This place wasn’t this big in the past. How many years has it been since we last visited?”

The man explained, “l told you Su Teng Village’s market is bigger than the town’s. I’ll bring you around to take a look. If you see something you like, we’ll buy them for you.”

The older lady smiled so widely that her eyes narrowed into slits. “Although you’re working at the winery and receive excellent pay and bonuses, we must be careful and spend wisely to save money.”

The family felt their burden had lightened since the man started working at the winery. He had a stable salary and plenty of bonuses, making it more relaxing for his family to plant more crops.

After all, one would only know how much they could harvest from spring to autumn. It was okay if the weather was good, but if it were too dry or a rainstorm occurred, it would damage the crops. Those were what all farmers feared.

However, they were no longer afraid and felt relieved instead. The man had a proper job and was willing to buy a pound of meat every month.

Meanwhile, the man’s wife knew needlework. The family thought she should go for an interview if the embroidery shop needed more workers. The older couple was strong enough to help look after the children if the man and his wife worked.

The man said, “Mother, I know you and Father have worked hard to raise me.

Now, it’s your turn to enjoy life. Let’s buy more food for ourselves.”

The older man said, “Your mother and I are old now, so we don’t eat much. You should buy more for your wife and child instead.”

The man’s wife said, “Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, we can buy something for everyone. I’ll bring you two to eat tofu pudding in a while. It’s nutritious and good for digestion.”

The younger couple were dutiful toward their elders, and the older couple was delighted.

The older lady became emotional when she saw so many people. “l remember coming to Su Teng Village’s market when I was young. I lived with my mother then, which was close to this village. The market is several times bigger now.”

The man quietly explained, “Mother, Su Teng Village is much different from back then. Many people from north and south visit this place to buy and sell things.”

“That’s right. I heard merchants even line up to order things from the embroidery shop.” The younger woman had heard that from her good friend working at the embroidery shop.

The man nodded. “The Su family’s tofu and stinky tofu are famous, too.” When the older lady heard about the stinky tofu, she smiled and said, “Yes, I remember eating stinky tofu. You brought some home before. It was delicious.’

The older lady typically did not eat much but liked stinky tofu. When the man noticed his mother’s happy expression, he smiled and said, “Mother, I’ll buy you stinky tofu when we go to the factory later.”

“Huh? I can’t let you spend so much money.”

The man added, “It’s okay, Mother. It won’t cost much, and it’s cheaper if I buy it with my work pass.”

Those who worked for the Su family could get discounts if they bought the family’s products with their work passes. Initially, no one knew what a discount was, but they later learned that they could get things for much cheaper.

“Let’s look around first and see if there’s anything good,” the older lady chuckled.

She also knew how to save money by planting and selling crops.

Her son nodded. “We can buy many cheap things since we’re in Su Teng Market, Mother. Maybe we can get our daily necessities for much more reasonable prices here.

“Yes, let’s stroll around.” The older lady started walking when someone suddenly called her.

“Old Madam Zhou?”

The older lady did not hear it, but her son and daughter-in-law did. They turned to look, and one of them said, “Mother-in-law, I think someone is calling you.”

Old Madam Zhou turned around. She felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the person, but she could not remember who they were for a moment. The other older lady asked, “Is that you, Old Madam Zhou? It’s me, Wang

Lianhua.’

Old Madam Zhou became excited when she heard the older woman’s name.. “Wang Lianhua? Is that really you?”
