As the two policemen, who had barely watched anime or played the game, stared in amazement, a person who looked like a giant yellow sponge... came trotting towards the door.

There was an exaggerated and funny smile painted on this sponge. When it ran in front of the three people, its extra-long nose almost poked You Ying.

You Ying calmly took a step to the right and looked at the yellow square sponge opposite.

Sponge: "Brother You, I've packed the food you wanted."

He was carrying a large handbag with many snacks neatly piled inside.

You Ying took it and asked, "Are the employees having fun?"

"Of course!" Sponge patted his chest. "Wancheng is pretty reliable. We did a lot of research before the event and knew what our employees wanted. So we bought a lot of genuine peripherals as prizes. We've already done two draws, and many people have won. The third round will be soon. Brother You, what's your number?"

You Ying took out the number strip from his pocket and glanced at it: "110."

As he was speaking, a host dressed like a roasted chicken leg appeared on the podium and kicked the "quilt" and "pillow" of the sleeping person without any hesitation.

"Go down, go down, I'm drawing the lottery!"

"Give us the black box and we'll go down."

"That's right."

"Get out of here! You still want to do something in secret? No way!" The host drove them away and then started the lottery.

The prizes for the lottery were very generous. In each round, 10 people who had never won a prize before would be drawn. Soon, the host drew out 10 lucky numbers from a big box. Beizijun was lucky enough to win a peripheral number, and one of the 10 numbers was Youying's.

You Ying went on stage to receive the award wearing a bull-head mask amid applause, and received a bull-head armored orc figurine from his own game.

When You Ying took the stage, Wan Cheng, the yellow square sponge, noticed the two policemen who had been standing quietly behind You Ying. He asked in surprise, "Which department are you from?"

Before the police could respond, Wan Cheng tutted to himself, "Are you cosplaying Chinese police officers?"

Wan Cheng circled around the two policemen and finally gave them a yellow thumbs-up: "Amazing! It looks so real!"

Two policemen: Thank you so much!

You Ying walked around again, feeling quite comfortable. However, the two policemen were a little impatient to stay in this strange place. They said to You Ying, "Mr. You, we have something else we want to ask you. Do you have a moment?"

You Ying put away the figurines and snacks, waved to the big yellow sponge Wan Cheng, said a few words and walked out.

When they got outside and saw You Ying take off his hood, the police spoke.

"Mr. You, did you drive all the way here?"

You Ying: "Yeah, I don't like walking."

"So when you were driving here just now, did you see a minotaur running by the side of the road?"

"...Minotaur? Does it mean the creature with a bull's head and a human body?" You Ying asked.

Police: "The one who saved you before."

"Oh!" You Ying suddenly realized, "It's him! He's a very good person. Are you arresting him? Did he do anything bad?"

Police: "No, we just want him to go to the police station to ask some questions."

You Ying: "That person definitely wouldn't want to do that. It would be so restrictive."

Police: "But freedom must also be based on rules and so on. If a person..."

You Ying: "Ah, right, right."

As You Ying spoke, he walked towards the car, put all his things in the back seat, and sat in the driver's seat.

The police captain thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. You, besides you, our current suspect is your friend Liu Ben. Can you provide Liu Ben's contact information?"

You Ying said calmly: "Liu Ben is my boyfriend. He is at my house now and he definitely hasn't come out."

The police looked at each other in bewilderment. Although Gou Qi had said this in their department before, they didn't expect that the two really had this kind of relationship.

"Are you ready to go home now? Can we come to your house and take a look?" If there is evidence that Liu Ben is at You Ying's house and there is no record of him going out during the period from the incident to now, then there is reason to deny Gou Qi.

You Ying: "...Okay." You Ying watched two of the policemen get into their car. There was also a police car behind them that seemed to be following them, but the other police cars had left.

You Ying started the car slowly, started slowly, and drove home slowly.

"Mr. You, is this hood custom-made?" the policeman asked, pointing at the hood.

"It was customized by Liu Ben for live broadcast. I took away his head mask when I attended the banquet today." You Ying emphasized "his head mask" to indicate to the police that he had taken Liu Ben's head mask away, so Liu Ben would not be the minotaur that appeared today.

You Ying had no idea how Liu Ben's headgear ended up like that, given that it was clearly in his car and he was wearing a thin T-shirt when he left. But when he saw the news of "Minotaur Hero Reappears, Being Chased" on a local live short video he'd casually browsed, he immediately recognized Liu Ben.

You Ying's first reaction was to walk out and call Liu Ben, but the call went unanswered. A message kept repeating on the line: "The person you are calling is being pursued by the police. Please try again later..."

You Ying found this unbelievable, but the matter was obviously urgent, and he had no time to think about anything else. He subconsciously put on a hood, drove the car, and ran towards the place where the faint sound of sirens could be heard.

After that, he saw the Minotaur, and from the eye contact, he confirmed that it was Liu Ben. Then he resolutely walked past it, and finally led away the police who were following Liu Ben closely.

"Oh, that's it," the policemen said, casually looking around the car to see if there were any removed disguises or anything like that. But to their disappointment, the car was spotless and there was nothing of the sort.

You Ying drove all the way back. The police asked some questions from time to time, and You Ying answered them calmly without any mistakes.

Finally they arrived at the gate of the community where You Ying lived. You Ying stopped the car, and the police captain went down to talk to the guard at the security booth, while You Ying and another policeman went home.

You Ying opened the gate, parked his car, and got out with the policeman. Standing at the door, You Ying was taking out his keys when the young policeman next to him couldn't help but say, "I still can't believe a leader like you would wear a headgear like that to attend an event."

You Ying said casually, "This is quite normal. Ever since the Minotaur saved my life, I have felt that it can protect me."

"You mean, becoming a believer? This... is a bit unbelievable..." The policeman thought it was outrageous and didn't quite believe it.

However, after You Ying pushed the door open, the policeman casually glanced inside and his expression became dull.

You Ying didn't understand what was going on, so he followed his gaze.

In a corner of his living room, there is a very conspicuous statue of Buddha with a bull's head and a human body. The statue is dark red all over, with kind eyes and majesty. The statue has been wiped to a shine. In front of the statue is a plate of fresh red apples and a small incense burner with many residual incense sticks inserted.

You Ying: ...He has forgotten that there is such a thing in his family.

"Ah...it turns out that you are a very devout believer..." the policeman said slowly.

You Ying: "Ahem, that's right."

"You Ying, you're back?" Liu Ben walked out in slippers with a smile on his face, but he was a little surprised when he saw the policeman.

Liu Ben: "Hey, are you the policeman who saved me before?"

The policeman said: "No, no, no, it wasn't me who saved you. It was Mr. You who was kind enough to call the police."

At this point, he suddenly realized that perhaps this was the opportunity for Mr. You and Mr. Liu, who had changed his surname, to be together?

Liu Ben gave You Ying a cheesy look and said coyly, "So I pledged my love to you."

The policeman shuddered and changed the subject uncomfortably: "I came to Mr. You Ying's house to check on the situation because of some trivial matters."

Liu Ben asked innocently, "What's the matter?"

"It's just some small matters. Mr. Liu, did you just come back?" The policeman still remembered his duties and asked seriously.

"No, I didn't go out." Liu Ben said naturally.

Anyway, the surveillance has been handled by Big Cat, and he also received a large sum of money from him.

The policeman asked a few more questions as the captain asked him to ask, and made sure there was nothing wrong. He then received a message from the captain saying that the surveillance showed that Liu Ben did not leave the house during the time of the incident. He then politely said goodbye to the two of them, closed the door and left.

Of course, the police all knew that You Ying's appearance at that time was too coincidental, but this could not be used as evidence. There was nothing impeccable about You Ying's excuse. The only thing worth mentioning was that it was unsafe to wear a helmet while driving.

However, people are not fools, they must know it. Maybe they put it on just when the time is almost up. There is nothing to say.

After the police left, only Liu Ben and You Ying were left in the house.

The two of them looked at each other in confusion.

You Yingju raised the hood in his hand and nodded at Liu Ben: "What's wrong with you?"

This is clearly asking why Liu Ben was able to disguise himself like that without wearing a mask.

Liu Ben scratched his head again and again, almost scratching his head bald.

Liu Ben: "This, that..."

You Ying squinted and looked at Liu Ben.

Liu Ben glanced at You Ying's face and whispered, "Okay, I'll show you. You have to be mentally prepared."

You Ying:?

Liu Ben took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and transformed into a human body with a bull's head in front of You Ying, but his body shape did not change, so as not to give You Ying a big impact all at once.

You Ying: !!

You Ying's pupils trembled violently!

He watched helplessly as Liu Ben turned into a minotaur in front of him. It was exactly the same as the erotic dream he had had before!

You Ying opened his eyes wide, his lips slightly parted, showing the most standard expression of astonishment.

Liu Ben was a little embarrassed. He was now using the body he had used for decades, but he was a little at a loss and didn't know how to move.

Tick, tick, it seemed like a long time had passed, but the clock showed only a few dozen seconds had passed.

You Ying finally spoke: "Why... did you become like this?"

He only now realized that the image Liu Ben used when he was a hero was not a special effects costume, nor was it some kind of outer skin he wore, but was actually transformed into himself!

Become!

If everything wasn't so real, You Ying would have thought he was dreaming.

Liu Ben scratched his head. Fortunately, there was no hair on the cow's head, so he didn't have to worry about being scratched bald.

Liu Ben: "Ah... about this..."

Liu Ben didn't know how to explain to You Ying that he came here from another world. It felt like no matter how he put it, it would be difficult to explain.

Liu Ben: "Actually, it happened that I was traveling to a neighboring island country. When I was swimming in the sea, I happened to see that country dumping nuclear waste water."

You Ying: ...

You Ying: "What does this have to do with you turning into a minotaur? Don't other people turn into crabs, sharks, giant octopuses, fire-breathing lizards, etc?"

Liu Ben continued, "When I was swimming, there happened to be an Indian man in the sea nearby. He was also traveling with his country's sacred cow."

You Ying: "You continue to make up stories."

Liu Ben was discouraged: "Well, actually it's because I traveled through time..."

Liu Ben wanted to continue talking, but his stomach started to growl.

He originally wanted to eat something, but was interrupted. He ran for a long time without eating a single bite and consumed a lot of energy.

Liu Ben winked at You Ying. You Ying had no choice but to take out his phone to order takeout.

Seeing that You Ying didn't seem very angry about his concealment, Liu Ben changed back into human form and happily touched the snacks that You Ying brought back on the table.

You Ying walked over, sat across from Liu Ben, and nudged him: "Hurry up and continue what you were talking about. What about time travel?"

While eating a Minion chocolate, Liu Ben explained to You Ying incoherently his original identity and the reason for coming here.

"First of all, our race is half-bull orcs, not minotaurs," Liu Ben emphasized.

"Hmm, half-bull orc, then what?"

"The Bull Orcs are a powerful race, much taller than humans," Liu Ben said, giving an example: "For example, when I transform into my full Bull Orc form, I'm about 3.5 meters tall."

You Ying: !!

"We like farming. Having more fields is the happiest thing for us, but I don't have many fields. I am better off after traveling through time." Liu Ben picked up another slime-shaped custard-filled bread and took a big bite.

You Ying nodded: "It's true that we don't value the fields here much anymore, but it wasn't like this a few decades ago."

The thought that Liu Ben was actually an orc from another world was truly novel to You Ying. This kind of character setting seemed to only be seen in games and novels. Although You Ying enjoyed playing games, he had never imagined seeing such a creature in real life.

Liu Ben ate while talking. When asked why he came to this world, he was still puzzled. "It's so strange! I actually found a soap on the cliff. Soap! Can you believe it?"

"I'm sure that soap is definitely not something we have back home. Furthermore, the system said that I was pulled into this world by the information on that piece of soap, so that soap must belong to someone in this world!"

"Although traveling here is not a bad thing, it's even a good thing, but I still want to find the person who forced me to pick up the soap and travel through time!" Liu Ben excitedly raised the transformation magic wand lollipop in his hand.

You Ying: ...

Soap? Why... does it feel familiar?

The takeaway arrived, and Liu Ben happily went to get it and sat back at the table. When he opened it, he found that You Ying had ordered barbecue. He was even happier and started to eat happily.

You Ying also took a string of chicken wings and ate it slowly, but Liu Ben's words about soap still lingered in his mind.

To verify whether he was overthinking things, You Ying calmly asked, "What does the soap you're talking about look like?"

"It's pink and smells really good." Liu Ben was still eating something with his right hand, while his left index finger and thumb formed a circle and said, "It's this big."

"Oh, yes, it's in the shape of a strawberry!" Liu Ben said with certainty.

You Ying: ...

This was practically confirmed, as the small soap vanished the same day Liu Ben traveled through time. It had clearly been carelessly thrown out by You Ying in the cramped bathroom. Even if it had fallen into the toilet, there would have been a splash, right? Yet, You Ying heard no sound at all when he lost the soap.

You Ying suddenly stood up and went upstairs.

Liu Ben was puzzled, but he felt that You Ying didn't leave because he disliked him or even hated him, so he just sat there honestly without moving, just turning his head to look in the direction You Ying went while eating.

But it didn't take long before You Ying came down.

When You Ying came down, he had a box in his hand. He put the box on the table, opened it, and rummaged through it. He found a soap bar of various colors that was exactly the same as the one that fell before, and took it out to show Liu Ben.

"Is this it?"

Liu Ben was stunned. He stared blankly at the very familiar soap in You Ying's hand. His mind was blank. The stick in his hand lingered in the air, and he forgot to chew the food in his mouth.

This, this, this!

"This, what about this, how do you get this?" Liu Ben asked stutteringly.

You Ying told Liu Ben in a somewhat subtle way what happened on the night he lost the soap.

The two looked at each other again.

This time, the feelings of both sides are even more complicated.

What a coincidence! You dropped a bar of soap, and it passed through the time crack and landed right where my hand was about to grab it. I grabbed the soap, but my hand slipped, and it landed right on the body of the person you called the police to save.

In short, it is a coincidence within a coincidence, a coincidence that cannot be more coincidental.

In the end, the two could only sigh in unison: "This is all fate!" and then laughed together.

Next, the two of them ate supper while talking about what Liu Ben had seen and heard in the past, and what happened after Liu Ben encountered the system. Later, Liu Ben even took You Ying for a stroll in his own space.

Space is a very wonderful place. The scenery of the space after being planted by Liu Ben is very beautiful, and the talking big cat is also very magical. However, the garbage bags eaten by the big cat and scattered all over the ground are quite damaging to the environment.

Liu Ben cleaned up the garbage for Da Maozi with a gloomy face, and then took You Ying to see the fields he had planted.

"Actually, all the produce I sell in the store is grown by me. I don't have any research institute at all," Liu Ben finally had a chance to complain to You Ying. "Everyone thinks I just lie around at home, playing on my computer or phone, and earning endless money."

"You grew all of it yourself?" You Ying was also surprised: "That must be hard work!"

Liu Ben nodded seriously: "I've worked so hard!"

You Ying gave Liu Ben an encouraging hug.

The big cat floated away again, not wanting to see the two of them being so affectionate in that space.

Liu Ben took You Ying to see the Wushuang rice fields: "I have to pull out the grass here manually before I can harvest it. There is no electricity in the space, so I have to harvest with my own hands. It's much more troublesome than the villagers outside."

You Ying: "That's too tiring."

Liu Ben then took You Ying to see the water shield pond. "Water shield and kelp grow together. Kelp is very clingy. Every time I get in the water, they wrap around my feet tightly."

You Ying: "That's too difficult."

Liu Ben then took You Ying to see the white jade radish fields, the osmanthus-fragrant pine forests, the wonderful mushroom fields... Each one was more bizarre than the other, making You Ying dazzled.

Finally, the two of them came to a thorny bush full of roses, and You Ying finally understood why Liu Ben had scratched his face while picking roses.

This vine is too dangerous!

You Ying sighed: "You really are working harder than I thought."

You Ying used to think that Liu Ben was a smart businessman like himself, who only cared about making money and not doing any physical work. Now he knows that these delicious and miraculous products are actually grown by Liu Ben himself. No wonder he had to eat so much every day during the time he lived with Liu Ben. If he ate less, his body would not be able to withstand the physical exertion.

You Ying: "Can't this space be planted automatically? I've read many novels where just waving your hand can..."

Liu Ben waved his hand: "No, I have to grow it myself. The good thing about this space is that the crops grow very quickly, so there is no need to wait."

You Ying sighed and touched Liu Ben's arm. "But you're still working too hard. Your store is so big, with so many customers, and all the sales every day depend on you alone."

Liu Ben smiled contentedly, "What I wanted most in my previous life was a field like this that belonged entirely to me, with endless crops to cultivate. Oh, and now I also have the best partner in the world."

At the end of his words, Liu Ben couldn't help but praise You Ying.

You Ying glanced at him with a smile, then remembered something and became very interested: "I haven't taken a close look at what you look like as an orc just now. If you change back, I'll take a closer look and study it in depth..."

"No."

"Ouch, you're blushing! Come, let me see..."

【uh-huh! 】

A loud fake cough came from an invisible distance.

The two of them paused, and Liu Ben took You Ying out of the space as if nothing had happened.

"How high is 3 or 5 meters? Change back to your original form so I can see."

"Is the roof high enough? Are the floor tiles strong enough?"

"It's okay, don't worry, change quickly!"

We don’t know what You Ying and Liu Ben did with their research afterwards.

A large group of cattle ran past...

the next day.

You Ying lifted the quilt and, with the sunlight pouring in from the window, squinted at the bull-headed man, no, half-bull orc, who was still sleeping soundly beside him, with one hand covering half of his face.

Oh, every morning like this is always a little awkward, but this morning was especially so.

Because last night was so... ahem, when passion is at its peak, one becomes the most shameless, and then in the morning afterwards, one feels very ashamed.

However, Liu Ben didn't have so many thoughts. He talked everything out with You Ying yesterday, and he felt relieved and refreshed. He and You Ying also became more loving and affectionate.

The police confirmed that Liu Ben was not the Minotaur hero and obtained an alibi. Naturally, they notified Gou Qi and showed evidence, explaining that they had done this, but did not catch the person himself. However, they also confirmed that it was not Liu Ben.

Gou Qi refused to believe it, but after looking at the police evidence and documents, he found that they were very comprehensive and there was no way to deny it unless he made a scene.

Gou Qi considered himself a decent man. Since he couldn't get the result he wanted, there was no point in going to the police station.

Gou Qi could only force himself to say a few words, "You are incompetent because you didn't catch the person who actually hit me," and then hurried away.

The police had no time to deal with him. They accidentally arrested a group of gang members last night and were following the clues to find bigger fish.

Although the speculation that the Minotaur hero was Liu Ben was wrong, Gou Qi still didn't believe that Liu Ben had beaten someone without leaving any evidence, and the speculation that You Ying had bribed the police could not be ruled out.

However, Gou Qi was just a small figure after all. It was just an accident that he almost tricked Liu Ben this time. If Liu Ben had been a little prepared, it would not be so easy for him to find another opportunity.

Later that day, You Ying also warned Liu Ben: "Don't do those things again. The police are watching you, and those gangs want to retaliate against you. You are doing this for nothing."

Liu Ben nodded honestly: "I don't plan to get involved in that kind of thing in the short term. Anyway, my scumbag value is enough for now, and this city really hasn't had any crime in a long time."

In this case, Liu Ben and You Ying stayed at home honestly after returning home this time. They farmed and did business during the day, and continued to spend time with You Ying at night. Their life was simple, but also very good.

Oh yes, Liu Ben also found the small soap that he had been holding in his hand when he first came here, bought a glass frame and displayed it at home, saying: This is a beautiful proof of their being together and the fate between them.

You Ying couldn't imagine what others would think if they heard Liu Ben say that they got together because of picking up soap...

After the estrus period was over, Liu Ben remembered that he had said he wanted to make rice noodles, so he hurried to find his grandfather and told him about it again.

"In our village, I remember that Liufu Township used to make rice noodles and other things. You can go and ask." Liu Yibiao said.

Wang Fengjing said uncertainly, "That happened a long time ago. It seems it's closed now."

"I didn't ask about that, but Liu Fuxiang's son came to sign a farming contract. His hands were not convenient, so he signed for 5 mu of land."

Liu Ben didn't waste any time and found Liu Fuxiang's home that day. His house didn't look very good. It was small and quite shabby. There was a red wooden chair at the door, and a little old man was sitting on it.

Liu Ben walked over and asked in a gentle voice, "Old man, are you Liu Fuxiang?"

Old man: “Ah?”

Liu Ben raised his voice a little: "Are you Liu Fuxiang?"

The old man seemed to have heard clearly and nodded: "Call me?"

Liu Ben asked, "Do you still make rice noodles here?"

The old man continued to nod: "Rice noodles are delicious."

Liu Ben: “?”

"My dad can't understand what I say now. If you have any problems, please come to me. My name is Liu Fengnian." A voice came from the door.

Liu Ben turned around and saw a middle-aged man next to him. He had a kind face and a strong body, but... his left hand was empty below the elbow.

Liu Fengnian was already used to people looking at his left hand. He calmly explained, "I had a car accident outside before."

Liu Ben said sorry and then directly stated his purpose.

"You mean you want to do rice noodle processing?" Liu Fengnian and his wife who came out to see looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that there would be such a good thing.

Liu Ben is now a celebrity in the village. The only villagers who don’t know him are the villagers. Except for Liu Fuxiang who has a bad memory of people, there is no villager who doesn’t know him.

Liu Fengnian, of course, knew Liu Ben. Originally, with his hands in such condition, he hadn't planned to farm anymore. But after hearing that Liu Ben was paying 20 yuan per jin (approximately 100 grams) for his crops, and considering his family's current situation, Liu Fengnian gritted his teeth and signed the contract for 5 mu (approximately 100 acres). 5 mu might be considered a small plot for other families in the village, but his family was short on manpower, so 5 mu was more than enough. Luckily, they had farm machinery available.

"Yes, you see, I harvest so much rice now, and if I don't develop some by-products, it won't be easy to sell, so I came to you," Liu Ben said, and he felt that Liu Fengnian's wife looked familiar: "I think I have seen this sister-in-law before?"

Liu Fengnian's wife smiled and said, "I worked as a temporary worker in your pickled radish factory. I also worked there before when you were repairing old houses in the village."

Liu Ben: "Oh! So, I didn't recognize you. It seems your workshop is closed now?"

"We're open, but we don't advertise it publicly," Liu Fengnian's wife said embarrassedly. "A few years ago, weren't there requirements for all these foods to be packaged in plastic bags and clearly labeled with the manufacturer's name, address, contact information, production date, expiration date, and directions for consumption? To avoid trouble, we didn't open."

"Actually, we also ride tricycles to sell on the street, but... it's against the law anyway." Liu Fengnian and his wife looked at each other with a bitter look.

"How about opening a formal factory? Is that difficult?" Liu Ben asked.

"It's not difficult," Liu Fengnian's wife said. "I often check and ask questions, and spend a lot of time consulting. I have a basic memory of the procedures and so on, but..."

Liu Fengnian: “No money.”

Yes, it costs money to open a factory. Even if they can make rice noodles by hand, the cost of rice noodles is not much, but the money is not just for the cost of the rice noodles, but also for the packaging machinery, some new measures to achieve hygiene standards, printing and packaging bags, and other transportation and sales also cost money.

But this couple is short of money.

"Can I take a look at the rice noodles you make first?" Liu Ben thought for a while before asking.

"Sure, sure." Liu Fengnian actively led Liu Ben inside, introducing the situation of his own workshop as they walked.

When Liu Fuxiang was in charge, this small workshop had many permanent workers. However, as Liu Fuxiang aged and became somewhat confused, the workshop could no longer operate. Liu Fengnian, who was still working outside the factory at the time, had a good handmade rice noodle making skill, but the work was hard and the earnings were low, so young people were not interested in it. In those days, the concept of inheritance was not a thing; the focus was on making little money and living an unsatisfactory life.

However, an accident happened later and Liu Fengnian's hand was injured. He could no longer do his job and had to take his wife home.

Liu Fengnian's wife, He Guizhi, was a hardworking woman. Since they shared the same surname, He Mei, though not a relative, had a good relationship. So, whenever work became available, He Mei would turn to He Guizhi. However, He Guizhi had to take care of the family, so she had limited time, so she couldn't do the regular work in the early stages. She was able to participate in temporary work later on.

After He Guizhi came to Liuwu Village, she has been helping Liu Fengnian make rice noodles and taking care of Liu Fuxiang. She and Liu Fengnian also take turns riding a tricycle to sell rice noodles. These years have been very hard.

Not long after the whole village started planting Wushuang rice in early May, the Spring White Jade was also harvested. At that time, He Guizhi also worked as a temporary worker for a while and managed to earn some money.

When everyone was planting white jade radish, He Guizhi was also tempted, but when she heard from the villagers who planted white jade radish for the winter that digging the radish was very difficult and they couldn't do any other work for several days after digging it, He Guizhi had to give up with reluctance.

In fact, in the village, they are self-sufficient and don’t have much to spend money on, but they have two children who are in middle school and live in the school. They need to give them living expenses every month, so they still have to work hard and earn more money to plan for their current and future children.

After entering the house, Liu Ben passed rows of rice noodles and vermicelli stands. There was indeed a small workshop behind the house. Surprisingly, compared to the front house, the workshop in the back was much cleaner. The tools, though a bit rough, were all kept polished.

Liu Ben was taken to the warehouse of their store, where the finished products that were ready for sale and consumption were stored.

"We have thin rice noodles, thick rice noodles, flat rice noodles, round rice noodles... We will also make glutinous rice cakes during the Chinese New Year, depending on market demand." Liu Fengnian introduced to Liu Ben.

Liu Ben looked around. Of course, he didn't have clairvoyant eyes, so he couldn't see anything, but he thought it was quite clean.

"I'll buy some of each and take them back to try." That's all Liu Ben said.

"What else do you need to buy? You've been in the village for so long, and we haven't given you any gifts. Just take these back and eat them." He Guizhi skillfully packed several bags for Liu Ben, adding all kinds of food, and handed them to him.

Liu Ben did not refuse. Since it was a meeting gift, if it didn’t work this time, he could just give the other person a meeting gift next time.

In the evening, the whole family enjoyed delicious rice noodles together.

"Slurp~ What do you think?" Liu Ben held a big bowl and slurped up a big chopstick of rice noodles.

He liked this thin rice noodle. Although it was made of ordinary rice, the slightly rough, hard and chewy texture was very much to Liu Ben's liking.

You Ying prefers round noodles, which have a chewier, smoother and more juicy texture.

"The rice noodles made by them are still delicious." Liu Shuanghu sighed.

Wang Fengjing agreed: "I haven't bought it in many years. I thought Liu Fuxiang had stopped doing it, but I didn't expect it to be reopened by Fengnian now."

"It's not really an operation. He just rides a tricycle to sell goods. It's too unsafe. If he gets caught, he'll be fined." Liu Ben finished his soup, wiped his mouth and said.

"It's not difficult for villagers to make a living on their own." He Mei sighed.

"This is what I think. I will invest money and let them open a formal small factory. In the future, they will help me process rice noodles and other rice products. The signs and other processing materials must be made according to ours." Liu Ben said very logically.

"Okay, then our village will have another factory." Liu Yibiao said happily.

"It's just a small workshop, probably not as big as those opened by Xiaoben."

"In the end, our village will become more and more prosperous."

Having made the decision, Liu Ben immediately went to talk to Liu Fengnian. Liu Fengnian had already been delighted when he first heard Liu Ben was interested in having them process the food. Now that Liu Ben had explicitly stated his intention, he was both excited and nervous, stammering that a few tens of thousands would be enough. But Liu Ben was forthright, approving him several times the amount and allowing him to buy all the machinery. By then, they might be making more than just glazed flour; they might also be making seasonings.

Liu Fengnian certainly knew the price that Liu Ben paid for the Wushuang rice. Although he was reluctant to buy the rice from Liu Ben's store, last year Liu Yibiao gave each family some Wushuang rice, and his family naturally tasted it. That kind of rice was indeed delicious, so it was natural to sell it at a high price after making it into rice noodles.

Expensive products should also be accompanied by expensive craftsmanship, right?

He Guizhi was also very concerned. Although they had no money to open a factory in recent years, she knew exactly how to go about the procedures. Now that she was getting started, it was quick and smooth. She also actively asked Liu Ben if he wanted to look at the outer packaging design or something.

Seeing that she was very enthusiastic, Liu Ben told her that he had a designer he had been working with. When the time came, he would send the design to He Guizhi and she could use it directly.

Of course, starting the production of rice noodles is one thing. When everything is ready, it can be combined with other dishes in the store to make more expensive products.

Spring went and summer came, just a few months passed quickly. The rice fields turned from green to yellow, and the rice ears gradually became plump and slowly bent down.

It's harvest season again.

Several young men who have agricultural machinery driving licenses have once again become the pride of the whole village. They raised their heads and stepped onto their respective "war chariots".

The harvester the Liu family bought is more advanced and more expensive. Of course, the corresponding performance is high, which allows it to harvest rice faster.

"Everyone, take a look and make sure you've pulled out all the weeds in your fields!"

"Don't affect your own harvest!"

Finally, this moment arrived and all the villagers were excited and nervous.

According to their estimation, one mu of land can produce at least
