 Chapter 428: Making Ink

Chu Cai, who had been silent, brightened up. "Third Brother, what business? Can Second Brother do it? As long as I can do it, Second Brother won't complain. Second Brother also wants to buy a shop or a courtyard in the county. In the future, the children in the family will need it for studying. Second Brother isn't smart, but as a father, I can't burden the children."


"Second Brother, this business is simple, making ink." Chu Heng considered and felt that only this could enable the entire family to develop.


"Making ink?" The smile on Chu Cai's face froze instantly, and he hesitated, "Third Brother, um, ink, the ink used for writing?"


Don't blame Chu Cai for his significant emotional fluctuations. In the eyes of ordinary people, making ink, brushes, paper, and inkstones were things they had never thought they could make themselves.


If they could make them themselves, they would have been rich long ago, right?


"Yes." Chu Heng nodded.


Chu Zhiwen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ah Heng, you know how to make ink?"


He knew that his son could make brushes, but his impression of the brushes made by his son was still stuck at a level where the quality was relatively poor.


He didn't find it strange either. After all, if making a brush was as easy as passing the county-level examination, where would there be poor scholars?


Now Chu Heng's words made him even more suspicious. He said earnestly, "Ah Heng, don't scare me with such big talk. Although I may not be knowledgeable, I still have some common sense."


After saying this, he coughed awkwardly. After all, saying in front of his daughter-in-law, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren that he was not knowledgeable was embarrassing.


"Father, you'll understand when you see the ink I make." Chu Heng didn't want to say much.


"We'll discuss this matter in a few days."


Just as they were speaking, more people arrived outside.


This time it was Qian from the Fifth Branch, accompanied by two or three sons and a daughter-in-law.


And the patriarch Chu Yonghua came personally with his eldest son, Chu An.


Chu An was still holding two chickens, a box of pastries, and a two or three-pound piece of meat in his hands.


This gift was quite heavy for rural folks.


Ye Muyu had just finished her meal as well.


She entertained everyone together with Hu Shi.


After repeatedly declining the gifts, Chu Yonghua insisted on giving them, and Ye Muyu finally accepted them.


Seeing more and more people arriving, Ye Muyu urged her two children to finish eating quickly.


She quickly cleared the dishes from the table, brought chairs for everyone, poured tea, and the room was instantly filled with people.


Chu Heng sat among the men and explained the matter of opening a bookstore to everyone, inviting them to have dinner at the Fragrant Tower Restaurant in the county.


Meanwhile, Ye Mu accompanied the women to talk.


Qian patted Ye Mu's hand lightly and smiled, "Muyu, you're lucky. Once this bookstore opens, the money will come rolling in."


"Thank you for your blessing, Fifth Aunt."


"In fact, this bookstore was my husband's idea. He also cooperated with the teachers in the school. As you know, my husband has many classmates who are knowledgeable. But cooperating with others is a loss, so he thought of organizing one himself."


After listening to Ye Muyu's explanation, Qian understood that she had been too excessive with her words just now, so when she saw another relative arrive, she helped continue the conversation.


This saved Ye Muyu a lot of trouble.


"I didn't expect Ah Heng to open a shop too."


"Yeah, it was good to pass the county-level examination before. It's a pity that he had two failures afterwards. Otherwise, he would have passed the provincial examination long ago, right?"


"Yeah, that's right. So, studying is still good. If you don't study, where can you open a bookstore?" Kong Shi from the Fourth Branch emphasized the word 'bookstore.'


Others also flashed envy in their eyes but they dared not offend Chu Heng anymore. Seeing that his life was getting better and better, offending him would not be a wise move.
