Chapter 53 - 53 Soy Beckons to Her

53 Soy Beckons to Her

Shen Qiuhua and Liu Yinyin were excited to see what was around while they quickly filled their baskets with chestnuts and chilies.

As Su Binglan picked chilies, she put some into her basket and some into her pocket dimension.

Before she went to bed last night, she planted some chilies and chestnuts in her pocket dimension. Chestnuts could only grow in autumn, but if Su Binglan planted them in her pocket dimension, they could even grow during winter.

The Su family could make them into candied chestnuts and sell them as part of their business.

Su Binglan knew Liu Yinyin was skillful and thought she should help Liu Yinyin open a dried fruit shop soon. Su Binglan firmly believed in the saying, “Give someone a fish, and they can eat for a day. Teach a person to fish, and you’ll feed them for a lifetime.”

However, one would need the funds to do almost anything. With some start-up funds, it would be convenient to start a business. Nonetheless, Su Binglan needed to think of ways to make money with her family. She first needed to start a small business to save money for a start-up fund.

Still, the back of the mountain was like a treasure trove. Su Binglan could gain several things by relying on the mountain.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan discreetly put a lot of chilies and chestnuts into her pocket dimension. That way, she would have more space in her basket.

Su Binglan felt strange as she picked the chilies. Something, or someone, seemed to be calling her from the front.

She couldn’t help but want to continue walking forward. She said after some thought, “Mother, I’m going to take a better look around.”

Shen Qiuhua replied worriedly, “Don’t go too far.”

Su Binglan nodded and said, “Yes, Mother. Don’t worry. I’ll just be around the corner.

Su Binglan didn’t walk far before seeing a pile of soybeans and became excited. She never expected there to be soybeans there.

Soybeans were highly nutritious and versatile. Su Binglan could use them to make tofu, soybean milk, and several other dishes.

If the Su family consumed more soybeans, their health would improve. Moreover, if she opened a hotpot restaurant, she would need some tofu and other ingredients.

Su Binglan was ecstatic as she thought, ‘Did these soybeans beckon for me?’

Su Binglan felt something powerful growing in her heart. She followed her subconscious and walked forward only to discover the soybeans. That was a magical thing to ordinary people.

However, Su Binglan knew it was probably because her soul had the aura of a mystical being. That’s why she could sense these ingredients in her mind and body.

Su Binglan couldn’t overthink at that time, and it just so happened she was alone, so she put as many soybeans into her pocket dimension as possible. Then she put the remainder in her basket.

She planned to plant more soybeans in her pocket dimension later. No one seemed to make tofu and other soybean products in that era.

Su Binglan hadn’t seen them when she went to town. There weren’t even soybeans in the grocery stores. She realized this era was more backward than she thought. It seemed there were many things the people had yet to discover.

Most villagers only ate wild vegetables then and considered cabbage a delicacy. The villagers would probably eat those things during the winter.

Su Binglan also recalled the time she descended to the mortal world, and one modern morning she heard the sound of someone selling tofu. She could smell its fragrance when she went to buy some.

She also smelled the freshness of the soybean milk wafting through the air. Su Binglan could abstain from grains and not eat anything in the world before she reincarnated.

However, her current body belonged to a mortal, so she would starve to death if she didn’t eat anything. It was a basic human instinct.

Su Binglan would instinctively feel hungry when she thought of food and would want to eat as much as possible. She also started to crave some sweet soybean milk.
