Ng Hon Ko Tso owned a piece of farmland in Tai Hom Village. Before the war, Ng Ying Pui (Ng Fat Chuen’s father) and Ng Tso Hing ran two bean sprout factories there. They did not need to pay any rent because it was family land. The bean sprout factories were set up inside two metal houses that stood next to each other, with a total area of 1000 square feet. There was pure spring water suitable for sprouting beans. Each kilogram of seedlings could weigh nine kilogrammes after sprouting. The bean sprouts needed to be watered every four hours, and Ng’s father hired two helpers to do this task. Part of the farmland was leased out to farmers from Huaxian. The rents would be allocated to cover the clansmen’s worship expenses. After the war, Ng Fat Chuen’s father bean sprout factory was taken over by its staff. His mother received rents from them each year. She also convinced Ng Tso Hing to lease out his own bean sprout factory, and used the rents to cover worship expenses in spring and autumn.
