Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

At that moment, Tong Lian finally felt like an adult, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Dad~ Mom~ I won't be by your side anymore, so you must take good care of yourselves."

“My younger brother is 12 years old. Don’t always think he’s too young. He needs to study and help with his chores. He will have to take on the responsibility of the whole family in the future, so we can’t spoil him.”

"Hmm~"

With red eyes, Madam Hong nodded frantically, "Yes, Mother knows!" After saying that, she secretly turned her head to wipe away her tears.

Tong's father frowned and said, "Oh dear, today is Lian'er's big day. Why are you crying? We should be happy."

Mrs. Hong smiled with relief: "Who said I'm sad? I'm happy, happy for our daughter."

After saying that, Madam Hong looked at Song Wenjie and said, "Wenjie, I'm entrusting Lian'er to you. As her senior brother, you must take good care of her family."

Song Wenjie said earnestly, "Please rest assured, Master's wife, if Qiao Feng dares to treat Junior Sister badly, I will be the first to not let him off the hook."

Qiao Feng held the teacup with both hands, looking directly at Tong Lian's father, and said, "Father-in-law, please rest assured, I will definitely not let Tong Lian suffer any injustice."

Tong Fu looked at Qiao Feng with his eagle-like eyes: "That's enough. You'd better remember that, or I'll have to loosen your muscles and bones for you." As he spoke, he cracked his knuckles before taking the teacup.

He is not good at expressing himself, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love his daughter.

Qiao Feng looked serious and repeatedly assured his father-in-law, "Please rest assured, Father-in-law."

Tong Lian was unhappy and pouted, "Dad~ Look at what you're saying, I won't allow you to bully him."

Mrs. Hong smiled wryly, and couldn't help but grumble, "You, you're already siding with him right after getting married!"

Seeing that it was getting late, the matchmaker quickly interrupted them, saying, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, the auspicious time has arrived; we can't delay any longer."

Zhao Lian quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we can't miss the appointed time, or it will be bad luck."

Originally, Mrs. Hong wanted to give a few more instructions, but after hearing what they said, she quickly shut her mouth.

After picking up the bride, the sedan chair bearers carried her around the city once before returning to the Qiao residence.

Because my family owns a restaurant, we also booked the wedding banquet ourselves, leaving everything to the restaurant staff.

Jordan and Ling Yun were busy running around, but they were extremely happy and genuinely happy for Qiao Feng.

Previously, they knew that Qiao Feng liked Zhao Lian, but unfortunately, his feelings were unrequited. In order to wait for Zhao Lian, Qiao Feng rejected many girls.

Now that they've finally met Tong Lian and she's taken him in, they can finally relax.

Jordan was supervising the kitchen, and the better the dishes were prepared, the more it reflected the owner's dedication, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

The wedding was held in a very respectable manner. After the wedding, Tong Lian's parents returned to their hometown.

Soon, life returned to normal. It was already the end of October, and winter was approaching. Everyone wanted to harvest the crops in the fields as soon as possible before winter arrived.

During this period, everyone worked as fast as they could. The brothers Li Shuangli and Li Shuangquan worked hard, and Liu Chunmei and Wang Shi treated the land as their own, without slacking off at all, and worked together with their children.

Being farmers with rich experience, the Li brothers and the Liu family worked together seamlessly, dividing the tasks among themselves.

The rice cannot be delayed; if it rains again later, it will sprout. So everyone is rushing to harvest the rice.

After the rice harvest is complete, we'll dig up the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The yield of this rice is not high, only about four or five hundred catties per mu. After paying the tax, the rest of the rice is for the family to eat. There is not enough for prevention, so some sweet potatoes and potatoes are also kept.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes grown with this fermented farmyard manure have an exceptionally high yield per acre and are also very large.

Potatoes can be used as a staple food, but sweet potatoes are high in sugar, and eating too many can easily cause heartburn.

Looking at the mountain of sweet potatoes, Zhao Lian was troubled. If only she could turn these sweet potatoes into silver.

Suddenly, Zhao Lian had a brilliant idea: she would make sweet potato noodles and launch hot and sour noodles in her restaurant.

She had observed that Hanjiang Dynasty only had rice noodles, but not sweet potato noodles. If she could make them herself, it would definitely cause a sensation and sell like hotcakes.

When Zhao Lian shared her idea with everyone, they all thought she was being unrealistic.

"You're kidding me, you can make sweet potato flour from sweet potatoes!" Sun Shangxiang was the first to disbelieve it, and she denied it as soon as Zhao Lian opened her mouth.

"Mother, I think we should give it a try!" Da Ni'er thought Zhao Lian's method was worth considering.

“I also think we can give it a try, since there’s no harm in losing anything,” Liu Yinzhu raised his hand in agreement.

Because of the bumper harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes, after deducting the amount given to Zhaolian, the family couldn't finish them all. It would be even better if they could exchange them for silver.

Liu Jinzhu nodded in agreement: "Yes! It wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Maybe we'll find a good way out. Besides, sweet potatoes will get infested with bugs if they're left out for too long."

He could tell that Zhao Lian was a girl with many ideas and liked to stir things up, but every time she did something, she was right, so this time he chose to trust her too.

Zhao Lian shared her thoughts: "Uncle is right. If we figure it out, I will buy your sweet potatoes. That way, you can exchange the sweet potatoes you can't finish for silver."

Yan Guihua made the decision: "Okay, I support Zhao Lian, that's settled!"

Without further ado, Zhao Lian instructed everyone to wash and peel the sweet potatoes, and then use a piece of iron to make countless holes with nails.

Then turn the iron sheet over and nail it to two wooden sticks to make a simple grinding tool.

Place a clay pot filled with water on the bottom, then place the tool flat on the clay pot, and then place the peeled sweet potato on the tool and rub it continuously.

The grated sweet potato powder will fall to the bottom of the earthenware pot, and then the residue will be strained, and the coarse sweet potato powder on top will be repeatedly kneaded.

Finally, filter the water with a fine cotton cloth, and let it sit overnight to settle.

The next day, the water on top was poured off, leaving the sweet potato starch at the bottom. The sweet potato starch was then poured out and dried in the sun.

The filtered sweet potato pulp shouldn't be wasted. It can be made into sweet potato puree, or you can add some flour to cook it into sweet potato porridge, or add some glutinous rice flour to make sweet potato cakes.

To see if it would be successful, the first time Zhaolian made it, she only used 50 jin of sweet potatoes, and it turned out to be a surprisingly successful attempt.

These 50 jin of sweet potatoes yielded 6 jin of starch. The filtered sweet potato pulp was mixed with glutinous rice flour and a little brown sugar, and when fried, it was incredibly fragrant.

This was the first time everyone had seen this method. It turns out that besides cooking the whole sweet potato in a pot, it can also be made into pancakes.

The sweet potato pancakes were soft, chewy, and delicious. Everyone thought they were incredibly tasty, and they were all gone in no time.
