Su Binglan looked at her husband’s expression and asked softly, “So, your mother…”
“She’s no longer around,” Luo Jin’an responded.
Su ?heart tightened when she heard those words. “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.”
“It’s okay.”
Su Binglan continued, “Your mother left this behind as a memento for you. I can’t take it.”
Luo Jin’an said faintly, “My mother was the one who told me to give it to my future wife.”
Thump, thump, thump! Su Binglan felt her heart beating faster. ‘Didn’t we agree that we’re only husband and wife for my family’s sake?’
She wanted to remind Luo Jin’an of this and talk about it, but she did not know why she could not speak up. She liked the gift and the meaning behind it but felt conflicted.
Su Binglan pursed her lips and said, “I’ll keep it for now.”
She decided to help her husband keep the jade bracelet for now and would return it if Luo Jin’an needed it back one day.
“Okay.” Luo Jin’an would not take back what he gave to his wife.
Ads by Pubfuture “Y-You should rest now.” Su Binglan closed the door for Luo Jin’an and briskly walked away. After wearing the bracelet for a while, she carefully put it into the box and put it away.
Luo Jin’an would quickly lose sleep and not rest well when he was away from the village. However, he fell asleep in his room with the pillow on his face as it felt relaxing and reassuring. Perhaps he could only sleep well when at home.
Those bloody nightmares he would have did not occur and woke him every night whenever he slept.
Everyone was busy in the afternoon, and Qiu He followed Shen Qiuhua to the tofu factory. At the same time, Su Fengmao took Luo Kang to Su Fengzhi’s house because he had to collect charcoal. After all, Su Binglan was about to launch her hotpot restaurant.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan had arranged for Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan to make meatballs at home, which she needed for the hotpot restaurant.
Su Binglan planned to build another building next to the tofu factory where she would hire more workers to make meatballs. Then she intended for Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan to teach the new workers.
After establishing the new workers, Du Xiaoju and Luo Juan could help at the hotpot restaurant. Simultaneously, Su Wenwu and his three close friends would get the rest of the ingredients. Everyone had their own jobs to do
Su Binglan went to the tofu factory to check things out. Su Zhengde’s grandson, Su Xueye, oversaw the building process and construction team. Since many people worked under him, they managed to build the factory relatively quickly.
Su Xueye was working when Su Binglan went over to take a look. Some construction team members would ask Su Xueye for advice if they did not understand certain things, and Su Xueye would answer their questions thoughtfully.
Moreover, he would check on his construction team’s work occasionally because he feared they would lose focus on what they were doing. Of course, Su Xueye was just a teenager, but he was earnest.
No one present would treat Su Xueye as a child because he was capable and knowledgeable. The construction workers would quickly learn whenever Su Xueye explained something.
Also, the workers would not have such a job opportunity if it were not for Su Xueye forming his team. Everyone was content as they could work daily, learn new things, and earn money for their families.
Everyone respected Su Xueye. Moreover, they had heard that Su Xueye would be Su Zhengde’s successor one day. After all, he was Su Zhengde’s eldest grandson, and he was highly talented.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Xueye would probably take over even the other construction teams’ matters in the future, and everyone understood it.
He saw Su Binglan when he raised his head, so he excitedly ran over. “Hello, Aunt Binglan!”
He seemed very severe just a moment ago, but after seeing Su Binglan, he immediately became like a child again.
Su Binglan looked at him and smiled. ‘You’re amazing, Xueye. You’re leading your own team, and the factory is coming along nicely.”
Su Xueye blushed when Su Binglan praised him. He said embarrassedly, “I learned everything from you, Aunt Binglan. I wouldn’t have been able to lead a team so quickly if it weren’t for your guidance.”
He had never imagined being this capable before, but after studying many construction-related things and leading a team, he felt he had become much more confident.
He looked at the almost completed factory and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Su Binglan praised, “Actually, this is all because you’re brilliant. If it were someone else, they might not have been able to learn as quickly as you.”
Su Xueye had followed his grandfather and practiced since he was a child. In addition, he studied for a few years and had a solid foundation. Naturally, he would learn things quickly.
Su Binglan noticed that Su Xueye had made significant progress and felt happy for him. @@novelbin@@
“Although you need to continue overseeing the factory during the day, you must still study hard. Don’t waste your studies because there’s no end to it.”
Su Xueye said thoughtfully, “Yes, Aunt Binglan. I’ll always find the time to study every day.”
Su Xueye found that learning these things was very enjoyable. His eyes were always excited whenever he talked about architecture, and Su Binglan knew he was passionate about it.

Su Binglan looked in and out of the factory as the construction team had basically finished it. They would complete it in just a few days, so the family should hire workers by that time.
However, before that, Su Binglan had to get her hotpot restaurant on the right track. While she looked around the factory, Baili Jinghua appeared.
“Is that you, Jinghua?”
Recently, Baili Jinghua brought her son around to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, making food for him and accompanying him. Therefore, Baili Xihong’s personality gradually became lively.
“Binglan, I sent Xihong to Blue Mountain Academy today. He’s in the same class as Xuexuan and Xuehai.”
“Didn’t you say you wanted Xihong to get used to the environment first?” Baili Jinghua waved her hand and said, “He’s very used to it now. Moreover, he’s having a good time with Xuexuan and Xuehai, so he won’t feel awkward when he goes to the academy.”
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “The academy didn’t ask you to go through an assessment?”
She remembered Blue Mountain Academy requesting an assessment or something along those lines when she went there. She did not know what Luo Jin i an told the principal then, but he instantly got the principal’s approval for himself and the two little ones to attend the academy.
Su Binglan had thought of asking Luo Jin’an to talk to Mr. Kong when he returned. She wanted Luo Jin’an to ask if Baili Xihong could attend Blue Mountain Academy. However, Baili Jinghua handled it herself, and everything went smoothly.
“You’re aware of my previous identity, correct? I know Mr. Kong, so it was easy for Xihong to get in.”
Su Binglan nodded. “That’s perfect.”
Baili Jinghua reached out and held Su Binglan’s arm, saying, “Now that I have free time, I can help you at your hotpot restaurant.”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “I thought we agreed on not doing that. If you worked there, it’d be a waste of your talents.”
After all, Baili Jinghua had the potential to be a female general.
“No, of course not! I quite like working with you because I find it fascinating.
Still, you don’t have to worry because I can do whatever you ask.”
“Fine, I’ll give you some training in advance.” As if she thought of something,
Su Binglan asked, “Do you know if Jin’an is familiar with Mr.. Kong, Blue Mountain Academy’s principal?”

Baili Jinghua could not lie in the face of Su Binglan’s earnest gaze. She nodded and said, “Yes, they know each other.”
“No wonder!
‘That explains why Mr. Kong accepted Jin’an, Xuexuan, and Xuehai into the academy without asking them to take the assessment!’
Su Binglan genuinely wanted to know about her husband’s true identity but knew Baili Jinghua would not tell her. Sometimes, it was good that she did not know. Otherwise, she would be unable to retain her current state of mind whenever she faced Luo Jin’an.
After some thought, she said, “Who is Princess Lan?”
‘Baili Jinghua was once a member of General Baili’s mansion in the capital city, so she should know Princess Lan.’
Baili Jinghua’s smile disappeared, revealing a trace of worry at the mere mention of Princess Lan. “She was a kind person and good to her people. It’s a pity her body was weak as she died long ago. We were the best of friends then.
“Princess Lan was brilliant, too, and if she were here, no one would dare hurt King Ding.
Su Binglan nodded. The image of the little girl in her dream flashed in her mind. While Su Binglan subconsciously immersed herself in her thoughts, Baili Jinghua looked at her and said, “I don’t know why, but I always feel a sense of familiarity when I see you. It’s just like when I face Ruobing. It’s bizarre.”
Baili Jinghua did not understand why, but it was apparent that she was not alone in feeling that way. Little did she know that her words would cause Su Binglan’s expression to change drastically.
“Maybe it’s because you think of me as a friend,” Su Binglan said.
Ads by Pubfuture “You’re right. You’re my good friend, Binglan.” Baili Jinghua’s heart was big, and she did not overthink the details.
Later that night, Su Binglan planned to make dumplings for dinner, so she invited Baili Jinghua over. Baili Jinghua knew that making dumplings was a priority to Su Binglan.
She remembered Su Binglan saying she would typically make dumplings for special occasions. While helping to roll the dumpling skins, Baili Jinghua quietly asked Su Binglan, “Are you making dumplings because your husband is back?”
Moreover, Su Binglan had prepared a large portion of various fillings. She treated Luo Jin’an well, after all.
She paused as she made the dumplings. She did think of celebrating Luo Jin’an’s return, so she decided to make dumplings for him as he meant a lot to her. “Well, yes. You’re right.”
Baili Jinghua looked at Su Binglan and said, after some thought, “You seem like someone who dotes on her husband.”
Su Binglan asked smilingly, “You noticed that?”
“Of course I did! Also, it’s apparent you’re in a good mood because Jin’an is back. You’re constantly smiling.”
A change in a person’s expression was the most obvious.
“I remember rarely seeing you smile when Jin’an was away. You also busied yourself with several things then.”
‘Is that so?’ Su Binglan did not even notice the changes in her expression back then.
Baili Jinghua said discreetly, ‘You must like your husband very much, huh?” ‘H-Huh?!’ Su Binglan’s hand, holding the dumpling, trembled.
Ads by Pubfuture “What do you think about that?” Su Binglan did not even know what she liked, but she was still thrilled to see her husband. She had to admit that. However, she did not know how much she liked him.
Baili Jinghua looked at Su Binglan’s confused expression and said anxiously, “I-It’s just that you’re always so happy whenever you see Jin’an. Your demeanor seems different from usual. Sometimes, you even look lost in your thoughts.
“Hmm, how should I put this? You seem more conflicted, but you’re undoubtedly different from your typical self. You look at him differently than when you look at others. He’s that unique, I guess.”
Baili Jinghua felt that Su Binglan did not understand these things, probably because she was still young.
Su Binglan blinked as if what Baili Jinghua said was true.
‘Do I like Jin’an that much?’
“So, you’ve felt this way before?” Su Binglan asked.
Baili Jinghua’s expression changed. “Well, yes. I have before.”
Su Binglan did not pry when she noticed Baili Jinghua’s expression change.
The sky had already darkened when Luo Jin’an woke up. He slept deeply and peacefully compared to when he was away from the village. Although he had only slept for a while, he felt he had rested enough.
Shortly after, Luo Jin’an went to the bathtub in the next room to bathe. After changing his clothes, he went to the yard to look for his wife. He thought she should be in the kitchen instead, so luckily, he knew the house’s layout.
Previously, Su Binglan had shown Luo Jin’an the house’s design after she had finished drawing it. She had also asked for his opinion and if it was a good idea. Of course, Luo Jin’an said it was. Therefore, he was familiar with the house’s layout.

He looked at Shen Qiuhua and said, “Mom.”
“Hey, Jin’an. Come in and have a seat. Binglan told me you returned in the afternoon. We’re so glad you’re back, especially because our family is finally together again.
“Binglan is thrilled too, so let’s have some reunion dumplings tonight. Binglan will chop the meat and season them herself.”
Luo Jin’an nodded and said, “I’ll wash my hands so I can help.”
He missed the home-cooked meals when he left the village. The food out there could not compare to the food his wife made. Luo Jin’an felt like something was missing whenever he ate in the capital. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan and Baili Jinghua were making dumplings in front of the panel when Su Binglan saw her husband approaching. She felt awkward when she thought of what Baili Jinghua had said.
Su Binglan’s face suddenly turned red, and she did not even look at her husband’s expression—instead, she lowered her head and pretended to make dumplings naturally. She said, “You just came back, so you need to rest. We’ll wrap it up in a while.”
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “It’s okay. I’ll help.” He went to the panel, took a small rolling pin, and began to roll the dumpling skins.
Su Binglan looked at how he rolled the skins and got distracted. When she returned to her senses, Luo Jin’an had already rolled many skins. He rolled them well too.
Su Binglan inwardly sighed because she realized a person like her husband could do anything well. Luo Jin’an was only rolling dumpling skins, but he looked like he was making a work of art.
‘He always has an otherworldly aura about him.’
Luo Jin’an seemed to feel something and looked up while Su Binglan was still staring at him. The couple looked at each other, and Su Binglan felt like her eyes had gotten electrocuted, so she hurriedly averted her gaze. Her ears had turned crimson red.
Luo Jin’an looked at how her ears turned red, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as the ends of his eyes rose. The couple had a different kind of charm about them.
Baili Jinghua quietly looked at the duo from the sidelines and felt excited.
‘Gahh!’ The couple’s expressions and actions seemed interesting to her. Baili Jinghua said, “Binglan told me she’s thrilled to have you back, so she’s making dumplings to celebrate your return.”
Su Binglan took a deep breath and turned to glare at Baili Jinghua because she had never said those things to Baili Jinghua.
Baili Jinghua looked back at Su Binglan aggrievedly and said, “Aren’t you happy, though?”

‘T-That’s not it!’
Baili Jinghua looked at Su Binglan and said, “So, you’re just happy?
Su Binglan sighed helplessly. ‘Seriously? How can I face Jin’an now that she said that?!’
She felt embarrassed, and it would seem she was thin-skinned sometimes.
Luo Jin’an noticed his wife’s expression as he rolled the dumpling skin and handed it to her. Su Binglan reached out to take it and accidentally touched his finger, feeling like she had gotten electrocuted again.
She had never felt this way when she was with Luo Jin’an before, so why did she feel all this when he returned? Maybe she was genuinely happy to have him back
Just as Su Binglan continued making the dumplings with her head lowered, Luo Jin’an spoke, “Well, I’m happy too.
His voice was deep, warm, and nourishing like clear spring water. It made Su Binglan’s calm heart ripple when she listened to it. Luo Jin’an smiled lightly as his wife raised her head to look at him.
The couple smiled lightly, and their eyes shined. Although they were silent at the moment, they felt silence was better than sound.
Baili Jinghua watched from the sidelines and could no longer stand it. The whole house seemed to have turned pink. She hurriedly said, “U-Um, my stomach feels funny. I-I need to go now.”
Ads by Pubfuture Then she hurriedly exited the back room.
Shen Qiuhua looked at Baili Jinghua curiously, “Did something happen in there?”
Baili Jinghua nodded and whispered to Shen Qiuhua, “Things are too sweet in
there.”
Shen Qiuhua smiled so much that her eyes became slits. “That’s great! Binglan is happy that Jin’an is back, huh? Although she doesn’t say it, she always thinks and worries about Jin’an whenever he’s not around.”
Of course, Shen Qiuhua would understand her daughter.
Baili Jinghua decided to help Shen Qiuhua at the stove instead of returning to the back room because she did not want to disturb the couple.
Su Binglan felt awkward making dumplings in that situation and thought she should find something to talk about, so she told Luo Jin’an about some things that had happened while he was away.
“We were busy celebrating the Mooncake Festival by making mooncakes when you went to the prefecture capital. I always thought of making something delicious during that time, so I thought of hotpots.
“We’ve recently been preparing to open a hotpot restaurant where everyone sits around a pot and dips their vegetables and meat. After cooking their ingredients, the customers dip them into the sauce and eat them.
“We were preparing the hotpot a few nights ago and were ready to eat when Wenwu returned. Everyone was thrilled when he returned. Then the autumn harvest ended, and we moved. We’re also building a tofu factory.
“Oh, I also saved four people from their death contracts: Luo Kang, his family, and Du Xiaoju. Xiaoju’s brother is Xiaoshuan.”
While holding the dumplings, Su Binglan told her husband everything that had happened while he was away.
Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an did not say anything and listened. Although he had not been home for a while, he felt he had never left when his wife told him everything in detail.
He enjoyed listening to these things and felt a warmth in his heart. The couple had almost finished preparing the dumplings when Su Binglan almost finished talking. She had made plenty of dumplings, enough for the whole family.
“By the way, you haven’t tried the hotpot yet, have you? It’s pretty delicious, so
I think you’ll like it. We should have some another day.”
Luo Jin’an smiled gently and said softly, “Okay.”
“The hotpot restaurant will open in two days, so you can go there at noon. It’s also not far from Blue Mountain Academy, just on the street behind the dessert shop. There’s a ‘Su l s Hotpot’ sign on the building.”
Luo Jin’an carefully remembered every word his wife said. “Okay, I’ll go and help you on that day.”
Su Binglan waved her hand and said, “N-No, that’s okay. I’ve already found someone to help, so you only need to rest at home for a few days so that you can return to the academy to study. Don’t worry about family matters. I can handle everything.”
She was reluctant to let her husband work in the shop as he was more suitable to attend the academy.
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife and said thoughtfully, “But I want to help you.”
Su Binglan’s heart trembled. She looked at Luo Jin’an and saw the seriousness in his eyes. She suddenly realized that she always wanted her husband to study in the academy, but she did not actually ask him about it, or maybe he would go to the shop with her to do some work.
Su Binglan blinked and said, “Okay, if you want to help, it’s fine, but you can’t tire yourself out!” She emphasized the last part.
Luo Jin’an smiled elegantly and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan looked at her husband’s smile and listened to his words. She felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
At that moment, Su Wenzhe and the others returned.
“Father, Mother, we’re back,” Su Wenzhe called out as soon as he entered the house.
Shen Qiuhua exited the kitchen and said to Su Wenzhe, “Your father hasn’t returned from your third uncle’s house yet. We’re having dumplings tonight that your sister made herself.”
Su Wenzhe was delighted. “It’s been a long time since we had dumplings. That’s great. I’ll go wash my hands and help.”
“It’s almost done.”
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai also ran over happily. “Where is Uncle Jin’an?!” They had not seen their uncle for a long time and had never stopped thinking about him.
“Oh, your uncle is in the back room with your aunt. You two can talk to them later, okay?” Shen Qiuhua did not want the two little ones to disturb Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an’s conversations.
However, Luo Jin’an heard the two little ones’ voices and exited the back room to pick them up. Of course, the children were excited to see him.
Luo Jin’an said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to your rooms and show you the presents I got you.”
Su Wenxiu also returned and greeted Luo Jin’an, “Hello, Brother-in-law! ‘ I Luo Jin’an nodded. He even brought presents for everyone else.
Soon after, Su Fengmao also returned with a small cart of charcoal in tow.
“Since the hotpot restaurant will be opening soon, we’ll need a lot of charcoal. Wenlin and Wenchi have prepared a lot, so these should be enough for the time being.”
Meanwhile, Su Wenwu returned, looked at the charcoal, and said, “I’ll send these to the restaurant with you tomorrow, Father.”
“Okay, the shop will open in two days, so we must prepare everything.”
As the two talked, they noticed that Luo Jin’an had returned. The whole family was delighted because they treated Luo Jin’an as their own and were finally whole again.
The family ate the dumplings for dinner and was pleased with their presents.
Later, Su Binglan and her husband returned to their rooms, and Su Binglan could not help but ask, “Did you spend all your money on those presents? Didn’t you need the money for meals and rest?”

Translator: EndLessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan’s heart ached when she turned to ask Luo Jin’an that. She thought it would have been hard for him if he did not get proper rest and eat proper meals.
Luo Jin’an saw the look in his wife’s eyes when he lowered his head. He lowered his voice and said softly, “You gave me enough silver, so I ate and rested well during my trip. Don’t worry so much, okay?”
His voice was low and gentle. Perhaps it was because of the moonlit ambiance, or he missed being home. Luo Jin’an looked at his wife and reached out to touch her hair. His movements were tender.
At that moment, Su Binglan forgot to think and react. She felt that her husband’s hand was gentle and magical and that his voice was deep, pleasant, and magnetic.
Luo Jin’an seemed incredibly seductive under the night sky.
Su Binglan could not think as she listened to her husband’s words and nodded instinctively.
Luo Jin’an looked at her cute appearance and smiled. “You’re so good to me. Let’s go to bed early.”
Su Binglan nodded. However, she thought something was amiss when she returned to her room and lay down. She could not help but listen to Luo Jin’an and did whatever he said.
‘That’s not right.’ She sat up from her bed and thought she should talk to him. ‘What should I say?
She scratched her head and knocked on her husband’s room door. “Are you asleep yet?”
“No, come in!”
Ads by Pubfuture When Su Binglan opened the door, she saw Luo Jin’an changing his clothes. She looked at his skin and quickly turned around. “Y-You’re changing your clothes?”
‘Why didn’t he say anything?! I wouldn’t have come in if he did!’
Luo Jin’an said in a seductive tone, “It should be fine since we’re husband and wife. You’ve seen me shirtless before.” @@novelbin@@
Indeed, Su Binglan had seen him shirtless when she put medicine on him. She hurriedly said, “Well, I’m here to take your pulse and check your physical condition.”
Su Binglan was worried Luo Jin’an would say something she could not handle if she did not say anything. This time, she came back with a strange feeling in her gut.
However, she suddenly remembered that she had fainted in the bathtub once, and Luo Jin’an was the one who cleaned her and changed her clothes.
‘Ahh! Why did I have to think of that?!’ Su Binglan felt like she had to cover her face and hide in a hole.
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife, and she was looking down at her toes. With a charming smile, he said lowly, “Okay.”
Su Binglan walked to her husband’s side to take his pulse, but Luo Jin’an suddenly hugged her. Su Binglan struggled instinctively.
Luo Jin’an rubbed Su Binglan’s head with his hand as if he was comforting her. “I’m a little tired. Let me hug you for a while.”
Su Binglan dared not move when she heard that. Of course, it was not the first time she had hugged someone, but her heart began to ache. ‘You said you weren’t tired just now.”
Luo Jin’an sighed softly. “Silly girl, I was lying to you. Still, it’s good to be back.”
His sigh made Su Binglan’s heart clench. “Then don’t go out on long trips anymore. There are some things that others can do instead. You don’t have to leave.”
Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an did not say anything but just sighed. Su Binglan thought Luo Jin’an had something on his mind that he would not say even if she asked. She could smell his familiar scent at that moment, and he smelled good.
Su Binglan could also hear his heartbeat as they hugged. Then she asked, “Did you have any symptoms from your cold poisoning along the way?
“Give me your hand. I’ll Take Your Pulse.”
This time, Luo Jin’an reached out, and Su Binglan took his pulse. His cold poison did not take effect, but his body was still much weaker.
“Get some rest first. I’ll brew some medicine for you,” Saying this, Su Binglan prepared to leave to brew some medicine.
However, Luo Jin’an grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. “Listen to me. It’s late, so go and rest.”
“No, I want to brew some medicine for you. You’re so tired that you don’t even know it.” Su Binglan raised her head. She could see her husbands green eyes at a close distance and knew he was too tired to rest well.
Su Binglan was very insistent. Even Luo Jin’an could not do anything, so he did not sleep and stayed with his wife.
Su Binglan was brewing medicine in the courtyard while Luo Jin’an watched.
They felt each other’s warmth even if they did not talk. Nonetheless, Su Binglan liked having her husband by her side.
After brewing the medicine, Su Binglan poured it into the bowl. “It’s still a little hot, so drink it later.” She stirred the medicine with a spoon to dissipate the heat as she spoke.
“It’s also a little bitter. I put some sugar in it to make it taste better.” Su Binglan put in a few more spoonfuls of sugar.
Luo Jin’an watched his wife’s actions and said lowly, “I’m the one who should be taking care of you.”

You can care for me when you’ve fully recovered.”
She said this as a joke to comfort her husband, but he said earnestly, “Okay, I will.
‘Oh, I was just joking, so you don’t have to take it so seriously.”
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife deeply. ‘What can I offer her as help?’
Su Binglan felt something different when Luo Jin’an looked at her like that. She quickly changed the topic and said, “Take the medicine and rest.”
Then she quickly returned to her room. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. It seemed like she had something on her mind. After a while, she sighed. ‘Forget it. I need to sleep, especially since I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow.’
The hotpot restaurant finally opened two days later. Early that morning, many lined up at the restaurant’s entrance, mainly because they saw the “Su l s Hotpot” signboard on the building.
When everyone saw the name “Su n on the signboard, they knew the restaurant’s food would be delicious, even if they had not tried or heard of hotpot.
“Is it opening today?”
“Yeah, it is. A note on the door says it is opening today.”
“Then why isn’t there any movement inside?”
“Maybe we came too early. I couldn’t help it since I heard that the earlier we came, the better the discount.”
“The owners will host a lucky draw too. They will provide a few tables for free every day.”
The villagers and townsfolk knew about this news earlier, so they came to line up before dawn.
Su Binglan had posted some notices at the door, but some could not read. However, those who could read explained the notices to the ones who could not.
Some also saw the queue and approached the crowd to ask what was happening. The curious townsfolk also queued up after hearing about various discounts for the restaurant’s grand opening.
Moreover, the main reason was that there was a set price, and they could also order their own dishes.
Su Binglan had written the prices and made it more affordable for everyone to eat. Otherwise, the village folk and townsfolk would not eat at the restaurant if they saw the high prices..

Many came for the three-day discount and set meals before the restaurant’s opening because it would not be too expensive. Many wealthier townsfolk were also willing to try fresh food.
Of course, Su Binglan hired a group to advertise the restaurant. She wanted everyone to try her hotpot dishes with the three-day discount. Many were curious about this new type of food, especially when they heard it was cheap and that there would be a lucky draw.
Su Binglan and the others arrived at the restaurant before dawn, but they went through the back door instead since they did not want to open the front doors yet. @@novelbin@@
She had prepared many things in the restaurant’s kitchen and filled everyone in on some details. She also gave the others training the day before and believed everyone should do well.
Su Binglan knew she would be too busy since the restaurant would open its doors for the first time, so she brought many others to come and help.
Su Binglan, her parents, Su Wenwu, Baili Jinghua, Qiu He’s family, and Du Xiaoju were inside the restaurant. Su Binglan even bought custom uniforms for everyone.
Although Luo Jin’an was also there, Su Binglan did not want him to do any work as she still worried about his health.
Of course, the entire Su family would not let Luo Jin’an work either. They shared the same feelings as Su Binglan, and all felt sorry for her husband. After all, he was Su Binglan’s husband.
“Then why am I here?” Luo Jin’an asked Su Binglan.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Why don’t you help run the cashier?” She felt it would be better if her husband did not have to run around tiredly and greet the customers. Naturally, she needed someone she trusted to run the cashier.
Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an looked at his wife and asked, “Are you sure?
Su Binglan had no idea what Luo Jin’an was thinking and instinctively trusted him. She nodded and said, “I’m sure. Your body won’t be able to handle it if you do anything else. You should rest as much as possible over the next few days. If it were not for Luo Jin’an’s insistence, Su Binglan would not have brought him to the restaurant. He said softly, “Okay.”
After arranging everything, it was finally time for the restaurant to open. Su Fengmao opened the door and set off firecrackers.
Crackle! Crackle!
The sound of the firecrackers livened up the atmosphere as many at the door shouted, “Are you guys open now?!” “Is there really a lucky draw and discount today? Can we eat for free?!”
“Yeah, we came early to line up.”
“What does the set price mean?
Su Binglan walked out of the restaurant and explained, “Today is Su’s Hotpot’s official grand opening! I know how curious everyone is about what hotpot is, but you’ll find out soon enough. We will have professional staff members explaining how you should experience hotpot.
“The weather has gotten colder, so eating here will help warm your bodies and mind. The set meal means that everyone will pay according to your chosen ingredients.
“Then we will serve you food according to the items marked on the set meal. Everyone can order separately, too, so it depends on what everyone likes to eat.
Everyone felt comfortable listening to Su Binglan’s explanation. She was gorgeous and capable, and everyone liked Su Binglan just by looking at her. Moreover, many recognized the capable young lady.
“So, Miss Su is the one running this restaurant.”
“That’s right. We’re all here for the Su family. The desserts she makes are too delicious, including the mooncakes.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Yeah, you’re right! I believe Miss Su l s hotpot will be delicious too!”
“Hahaha!”
Everyone laughed and jeered, talking simultaneously.
Su Binglan looked at the crowd and realized that many were the family’s regular customers. Most had bought the Su family’s desserts and tofu from their shops.
She laughed, saying, “I did not expect to see so many regular customers. Please come in, everyone! Don’t worry. There will be discounts and a lucky draw for gifts soon.”
Su Binglan made much effort to make the hotpot restaurant popular by using several promotional methods. Therefore, it was more lively when the customers entered the restaurant.
“Wow, so this is what a hotpot restaurant looks like.”
“I didn’t expect it to look like this. Aren’t these things similar to our pots at home?
“Y-Yeah, but how do we eat?”
“Oh, there’s a chimney-type thing too.”
“Is this charcoal?”
“I-It seems a little wasteful. I wonder how costly it is to use this much charcoal.
Looking for More Content? We May Have What You Want Looking for More Content? We May Have What You Want DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Many thought the shop was novel as soon as they entered. However, some wanted to back out after looking around.
At that moment, Du Xiaoju appeared beside a table and gave a menu to everyone. “The food here is cheap. A plate of pork like this only costs ten copper coins.
“Since the weather is cold, the charcoal will help warm everyone up while eating the hotpot. Moreover, this is a fresh and unique way of eating, so I’m confident everyone will think of returning to have more.
“However, the discount only lasts three days after our grand opening, and we will restore everything to its original prices after that. Everyone should take advantage of these three days to eat here more often.”
Luo Juan also explained similar things at the other guest tables while Shen Qiuhua, Qiu He, Luo Kang, and Su Fengmao served the dishes to everyone. Each person was responsible for several tables.
When the soup inside the pot started to boil, they taught the customers to put in the meat and vegetables and prepare the ingredients.
Su Fengmao and the others placed the ingredients on a shelf next to the customers so that everyone could take their plates and prepare their own ingredients.
Many thought that this way of eating was novel and fresh.
“It’s all so fascinating. This is the first time I’ve seen such a way of eating.”
“Yeah, I wonder how it tastes.”
Everyone realized how delicious the food was when they scooped out their meat, dipped it in the seasoning, and ate.
“Wow! It’s so delicious!”
“My whole body feels warm.”
“Yeah, it’s cold outside, but the burning charcoal here warms me up.” “I’ve eaten barbecue and haggis soup before. So, I know how you feel. Hahaha.” “As expected of a Su family product. There’s nothing bad about them.”
Everyone gave non-stop praise after trying hotpot for the first time. This way of eating was novel, and the seasoning was delicious. It was a pretty exciting way of eating.
While everyone was eating, Su Binglan started the lucky draw. She had made a large wheel with table numbers on it. “The first prize is two salted duck eggs. Let’s see who the winner is this time!”
She spun the wheel, and it showed table number 12 when it stopped. The customers at table 12 stood up excitedly as the people around them applauded. “The next prize is a grilled chicken. Let’s see who’s the lucky recipient!”
Su Binglan had prepared the grilled chicken, roasted duck, tofu curd, and pancakes beforehand. The first prize was a free-to-eat coupon..

Almost everyone who went to the restaurant could more or less win a lucky draw prize. Su Binglan spun the wheel to let everyone see it and participate. Some might even suspect her of cheating if she drew numbers from a box instead.
Of course, no one knew that Su Binglan had Soul Powers and could control the wheel. Therefore, she knew which table would win a prize whenever she spun it to ensure everyone got something.
Since that was the case, everyone who went to the hotpot restaurant would happily leave because they won a prize. Since the hotpot also tasted good, the customers would return next time.
Indeed, the hotpot restaurant was booming. Moreover, the customers would go around telling others about how good their experience at the restaurant was after eating there in the morning.
Many more people went there during the afternoon because of the restaurant’s reputation. Many others also went to see what it was like at the hotpot restaurant when they finished their work in the evening.
Everyone said the food was delicious. Since there was a lucky draw at the restaurant, the atmosphere was upbeat and festive. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much.
Word of mouth traveled fast. In addition, the early advertising was a good idea, and the Su family’s name was on the signboard, so many went to the grand opening.
Fortunately, there were two floors to the restaurant. Although most people from the Su family’s house had gone to help, they still felt swamped.
There were not enough seats at night, and many had to wait outside with numbers. Business was so good that everyone working at the restaurant was happy to be busy. Everyone had smiles on their faces.
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua’s footsteps were light when she went up and down the stairs. She felt her body was improving and did not feel tired from all the work. She also noticed fewer white hairs on her head and felt puzzled.
She thought perhaps she looked much younger and was in a good mood because she ate well and had good nutrition.
Shen Qiuhua was delighted to see everyone enthusiastically enjoying their restaurant experience. After all, the family would earn money from this, and she wondered how much the family could earn that day.
Anticipation filled Shen Qiuhua’s heart, but she was not the only one who was
energetic. Su Fengmao and Su Wenwu also telt they had endless energy, especially when the customers paid the bill. @@novelbin@@
Many customers had eaten a lot that day, and some even spent hundreds of copper coins. It was much more profitable than running a small business.
The business was booming, and it was beyond Su Binglan’s imagination. She could not even help Luo Jin’an at the cash register. Still, Luo Jin’an kept records of every bill himself.
Su Wenxiu, Su Wenzhe, and Liu Yinyin went to the hotpot restaurant in the evening to help. The restaurant was most crowded at night. It was not until late at night, and all the shops in town had closed, that the family sent off the last table of customers and closed the restaurant.
The family was not in a hurry to count their earnings—instead, they brought home the money bags and bills that Luo Jin’an had kept. They would count their earnings together later that night.
Although Luo Jin’an remembered every bill they had, the family had grown accustomed to sitting around the heated platform at home to count their earnings as they enjoyed how it made them feel.
The sky was dark when they went home on the oxcart. The village was quiet as every family had already gone to bed with their lamps turned off. After all, it was very late at night when the family entered the village.
Only the sounds of dogs barking sounded throughout the village as the family quietly returned home. After closing the gate, the family entered the main hall.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengmao hurriedly took firewood and heated the platform. He lit the firewood and placed a few more pieces of wood into the furnace.
“I’ve lit the fire, so the platform should warm up soon.” He got onto the platform as he spoke.
The family sat together and poured out copper coins from the big money bag.
Then they started to count the money together.
“One, two, three, four…”
“Dad, you don’t have to count out loud. You’re confusing me!” Su Wenwu had counted up to a certain point, but he lost track when he heard his father’s loud voice.
Su Fengmao was good-tempered. He said, “Okay, I’ll keep it down.”
Then the family started counting in low voices. Su Binglan looked at how everyone counted the money and felt quite happy because she could sense how excited everyone was.
She did not think the hotpot restaurant belonged to herself and shared the earnings with her family. To her, an idea was just a way to make a living when put in motion.
There were many ways to earn money, but this kind of happiness was precious. Everyone’s happiness would affect Su Binglan.
“I have 540 coins here.” “I have 2,326 coins.”
“I counted it, and it’s a total of…”
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture “We have so many. I couldn’t keep track.”
Su Binglan could count the money quickly on her own, but she wanted everyone to count alongside her so they could feel happy. After calculating the money, the family earned 136 silver taels and 215 copper coins.
“A-Am I hallucinating?” Su Wenzhe widened his eyes.
‘It was just one day, and we earned so much?! Who knows how much we can earn when the restaurant becomes even more famous in the future?!’
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an’s records and said, “Every note Jin’an took was evident, including what time the customer paid and how much they spent. So, you didn’t hallucinate.”
“Ah, I’m so excited.” Su Wenwu pinched himself.
Su Wenxiu laughed. He went to help at the restaurant after Hundred Herbs Hospital closed for the day. He enjoyed the atmosphere and felt working hard to earn money as a family was good.
Su Wenxiu knew he had to continue studying medicine, but he also liked helping his family whenever he had time. Still, he had not yet earned any money since he was only studying at the hospital.
His parents and siblings were the ones who paid for the food and expenses at home, so he wanted to do his part in the family by helping wherever possible.
However, he would earn quite a sum of money and give it to his parents after harvesting and selling his medicinal herbs to Hundred Herbs Hospital. He enjoyed how it felt to plant herbs and could not wait for them to multiply.
Su Fengmao’s hands trembled as he asked, “I-Is that true, Binglan? It’s only been a day, and we’ve already earned so much. Who knows how much we can earn in a year.”
Shen Qiuhua could not hide her smile. “Wow, I’m thrilled!”
Liu Yinyin laughed. Her sister-in-law’s restaurant had earned a lot of money, so she was happy too. She wanted to experience the same happiness. Moreover, the tofu factory was about to open. When the time came, the factory could make even more money.
Liu Yinyin was genuinely looking forward to it.
The platform was warm and cozy as everyone discussed today’s events.
Su Binglan roughly calculated the cost and said, “This doesn’t include the cost, though. After deducting that, we’ll have only about a hundred silver taels left. After all, the meat and ingredients cost money too.
“The restaurant will be more popular during the first three days because of the discounts, but we should earn a balanced amount later. We’ll have more customers, especially when it snows during the winter. Then we can earn quite a lot by the end of the year..”

Everyone was excited when they heard Su Binglan’s words. Their heartbeats quickened as they thought about how much money they could earn. It was an excitement the family could not express with words.
It felt like a dream, and everyone thought it was not real. The family dared not even think they would ever see more than a hundred silver taels in the past. To them, it was an unreachable figure.
But they became excited and could accept it. The family was also calmer now, even though they were smiling excitedly. Although they had been busy the whole day, no one showed signs of fatigue.
Su Binglan looked at everyone and said, “You guys didn’t eat much in the afternoon and evening. You only had a few mouthfuls. Are you guys hungry? I can make some late-night snacks if you want.”
Everyone had worked all day but did not have much to eat. They only ate a few mouthfuls of rice in the kitchen to fill their stomachs during work whenever they got hungry.
Su Binglan noticed it.
Shen Qiuhua shook her head and said, “I’m not hungry. Besides, I’ve already eaten. A few mouthfuls of rice daily is already a good thing, considering how little we had in the past. Don’t spoil us, Binglan.
Su Wenzhe said, ‘Yinyin and I were only at the haggis soup shop during the day, so we had potato pancakes for lunch and dinner. You don’t have to worry about us.
Su Wenwu added, “That’s right, Binglan. I feel happy today and don’t even feel hungry or tired.”
Ads by Pubfuture During work at the restaurant, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to get the ingredients for the guest. In the meantime, he filled a bowl with some rice and ate a few mouthfuls. So he did not feel hungry, even though he was busy all day.
Su Fengmao smiled happily and said, “We’ve earned so much today, Binglan. How can we go hungry when we’re in such a good mood? All we feel now is happiness.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Binglan with heartache. She patted her daughter’s hand and said, “You were the hardworking one since you had to take care of everything today.
“Also, Jin’an had been standing at the cashier all day collecting money and settling bills. He didn’t stop working and didnt eat much. Dont worry about us; just take care of yourself.”
Su Binglan looked at her husband and felt sorry for him. ‘He must be exhausted.’
Luo Jin’an shook his head at his wife and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not tired since
I had lunch and dinner. Still, you are the one who didn’t eat much.”
Although he was busy manning the cashier, his attention was on his wite. Therefore, he saw how busy Su Binglan was that she never took a break. She only had a few steamed buns for lunch and dinner.
Even so, she served her husband food from the kitchen for lunch and dinner. She gave Luo Jin’an rice, meat, and vegetables, which made up a well-balanced meal.
Su Binglan looked at her husband’s severe expression and mumbled, “You were so busy, so how do you know whether or not I’ve eaten?”
‘I wasn’t always on the first floor either. Sometimes, I would be on the second floor. How would Jin’an know if I ate while I was there?’
Luo Jin’an sighed and said, “I saw everything from the cashier.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan’s heart trembled when she heard her husband’s sigh. @@novelbin@@
The Su family members looked at the couple, and their smiles became increasingly wider for some reason.
“I can’t help but want to laugh.” Liu Yinyin covered her mouth and laughed discreetly. ‘These two are so sweet.’
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai had already fallen asleep when the family returned. It was always easy for children to become sleepy at night.
When school ended, Su Binglan told Baili Jinghua to bring the three little ones to the hotpot restaurant. The trio played there and got tired as soon as they returned home.
Baili Jinghua brought her son home while Liu Yinyin tucked Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai in.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “How about this? I’ll roast a few sweet potatoes, and we’ll eat them. I can put the sweet potatoes under the heated platform and take them out when ready.”
Roasting sweet potatoes were convenient so the family could have them as midnight snacks. After eating, the family would not go to sleep hungry.
Su Binglan was genuinely worried that her family would wake up hungry in the middle of the night after falling asleep. Su Wenxiu sighed and said, ‘You’re too caring, Sister.”
Su Wenwu said, “Let me help you, Binglan.”
Su Binglan waved and said, “That’s enough. You guys sit on the platform. I’ll finish roasting the sweet potatoes in a while.”
Luo Jin’an said nothing but got down from the heated platform. Su Binglan noticed and said helplessly, “Didn’t I tell you to sit on the platform? I won’t exhaust myself just by roasting some potatoes. I’ll be done in a short while.” “I’ll help you.” Luo Jin’an was very insistent.
Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place Personalized Content Tailored to Your Preferences - All in One Place DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan wanted to take out the sweet potatoes from her pocket dimension, but she had no choice but to go to the warehouse and get a few big sweet potatoes instead.
Then she roasted them under the heated platform with charcoal. “Just roast them like this, and they will be ready in a while. Let’s get back on the platform.
Su Binglan still had something to say, so after getting on the platform, she continued, “We’ll be busier over the next three days, then things should get easier. It’s because most of our customers will come for the three-day discount.
“Let’s also talk about what we observed today. For example, what do the customers think about eating hotpot?”
After Su Binglan mentioned this, everyone began to think carefully.
After some thought, Su Wenwu said, “A lot of people came today because of the discount. They ordered a plate of meat, vegetables, and tofu. However, they couldn’t help but order more as they ate. It seems they genuinely enjoy eating hotpot.
Shen Qiuhua remembered that and said, “Yes, most of our customers did that. They only ordered more because they enjoyed it.”
Su Fengmao also discovered something. He said, “There were some who liked the spicier food. I think they ordered more because they were eating what they enjoyed.”
Su Wenxiu said, “I felt cold when I left Hundred Herb Hall, but when I arrived at the restaurant, I felt warm again. I saw a few people coming in from the outside, which meant they went in to warm themselves up. After trying the hotpot, they said they felt warm and didn’t want to leave.”
Shen Qiuhua sighed and said, “The weather will be even colder when winter arrives soon. Our restaurant uses charcoal, so it’ll feel warm inside. Oh, someone also asked about it.
“The customer said charcoal is expensive, so it’s a waste to burn so much. I told them it was all right and that our charcoal wasn’t as expensive as others. The customer became interested in our charcoal when they heard about it.
“They said they would love to buy some and didn’t care how much it cost. I gave them your Third Uncle Fengzhi’s house address because your uncle is preparing charcoal to sell.”
Su Fengmao said, “That’s right. Binglan will also earn a bit of money if the customers buy more charcoal.”
Everyone in the family knew that Su Fengzhi insisted on giving 30% of his charcoal profits to Su Binglan.
As everyone spoke, Su Binglan felt it was about time to check on the sweet potatoes. After checking on them, she found that they had indeed finished cooking.
She put the roasted sweet potatoes on a plate and placed them on the platform. She said, “The sweet potatoes are ready. Have some, everyone”
Su Wenwu did not feel hungry at first, but after smelling the sweet potatoes, he felt like he was starving. He reached out to take the sweet potatoes, but he got scalded. He immediately retracted his hand.. “Ouch! It’s so hot!”

Su Binglan could not help but laugh. “Third Brother, slow down. There are so many sweet potatoes.”
Su Wenwu chuckled. “Is that so? I know these roasted sweet potatoes will taste delicious since you made them, so I couldn’t wait to try one.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at the roasted sweet potatoes and said, “I only tried it once last time. It’s indeed sweet. I’ve eaten so many things recently that I forgot how roasted sweet potatoes taste like.”
Su Wenxiu looked at the roasted sweet potatoes and smelled them. He thought he was going to drool. “I feel that eating roasted sweet potatoes should be tasty when it snows in winter.”
Su Fengmao said, “Who cares about when we eat these? It’s cold now, anyway. Eating roasted sweet potatoes will make me warm.”
Su Binglan looked at the weather outside. Autumn was a good season, but it was indeed cold at night. However, she did not know when it would start snowing.
According to her memories, it would start snowing earlier if winter arrived on their side. It would also snow heavily. Su Binglan felt wonderful just thinking about it.
She laughed, “You’re right, Wenxiu. Eating roasted sweet potatoes will taste particularly tastier on a snowy day.”
Immediately after, images flashed through Su Binglan’s mind. She continued, “You guys can eat them after letting them cool down. Still, you should eat them while they’re still warm. I’ll take some to Qiu He and Jinghua.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “But it’s already so late, and the roads around the village are dark.
Baili Jinghua lived close by, just a few steps away from the Su family’s house on the east side of the front row. Still, everyone was worried about Su Binglan going out late at night.
She thought it was amusing since she knew martial arts. She would be okay wherever she went.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan felt that it was a little funny. She knew martial arts, so she would be fine wherever she went. However, she felt a warmth in her heart when her family showed their concern for her.
Su Wenwu was also worried about his sister walking to Baili Jinghua’s house. Still, it was already late, and it was inappropriate for a boy to help his sister deliver things at night, mainly because Baili Jinghua was a woman.
Shen Qiuhua said, “I think it would be best if I went instead.” She felt sorry for her daughter.
Su Binglan shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, guys. I’ll be back soon.”
Luo Jin’an said softly, “I’ll go with you.”
After all, he was Su Binglan’.s husband, so no one objected to him accompanying Su Binglan.
Su Binglan nodded when she saw Luo Jin’an and the others’ worried expressions. Then she and her husband took the roasted sweet potatoes to Qiu He and the others first.
Qiu He and the others did not rest either—instead, they wanted to warm up the platform first, so Luo Kang remained in the yard chopping wood.
Meanwhile, Qiu He washed the vegetables under the moonlight as the others also prepared other things for breakfast the following day.
“I’m glad Miss Su allows us to eat and rest in our own rooms. I feel much more relaxed like this.”
“You’re right. I would feel shy and awkward if we ate with our host. Don’t you think so?”
They knew where they stood in the Su family’s house, so they would not feel relaxed if they ate alongside the Su family. They would not dare to eat much, let alone speak.
Luo Juan and Du Xiaoju were also talking at that time.
“Miss Su is so nice.”
“Yeah, she has taught us many things, and she’s always so gentle when she talks to us.”
Ads by Pubfuture “She’s so capable too.”
“Miss Su looks gorgeous whenever she smiles. She’s so beautiful.” “Young Master Jin’an is fortunate to be Miss Su’s husband.”
The two girls talked about Su Binglan with adoration.
Su Binglan happened to hear these conversations when she arrived at the door. She felt a little embarrassed to go in. However, Luo Jin’an was with her, so he probably also heard what the two girls were discussing.
‘Does she feel embarrassed? Does she want to stop for a while?’
Luo Juan and Du Xiaoju found something in common when they talked about Su Binglan. It was utterly similar to the modern trend of gossiping about celebrities.
However, Su Binglan felt that she could not enter the room. Perhaps the two smelled the fragrance; Du Xiaoju looked at the door and said in surprise, “Miss
Luo Kang and Qiu He also saw her at the door and greeted them respectfully,
“Hello, Miss Su. Hello, Young Master Jin’an.”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s already late, Mr. Luo. Why haven’t you guys slept yet?”
“It’s still quite early for us. We couldn’t have gone to bed so early in the past.”
That was why Luo Kang and Qiu He were genuinely grateful to Su Binglan. They knew she was a good person. When they worked in a wealthy family’s mansion back then, they always had to work until late at night. They were exhausted then.
Su Binglan handed over the few roasted sweet potatoes she had brought and said, “We were too busy at the restaurant today, so I know you guys didn’t have time to have a proper meal.
“So I roasted a few sweet potatoes and brought them over. There are two for each of you, so you guys will have enough to fill your stomachs as a late-night snack.
Everyone felt flattered when they heard Su Binglan’s words.

We already ate well during the day, and we even had rice. That was good enough, yet you still brought us these roasted sweet potatoes.”
They did not know what roasted sweet potatoes were since they had never eaten or seen them. Still, the roasted sweet potatoes smelled terrific, and they knew Su Binglan’s cooking was always delicious.
Su Binglan said, “It’s okay. You all did your best today, so take these and eat them. You should rest early too.”
Qiu He’s family and Du Xiaoju had worked hard during the day, and Su Binglan had witnessed it all, so she would never mistreat them.
“Yes, Miss Su n
Soon after giving Qiu He and the others the roasted sweet potatoes, Luo Jin i an and Su Binglan went to Baili Jinghua’s house.
Qiu He still held the roasted sweet potatoes even after Su Binglan and Luo Jin i an left. “Miss Su is such a good person. She even thought of bringing us food.”
Luo Juan said, “We ate quite well during the day and had rice. It was even white grain rice too! The rice was fragrant and delicious.”
She and the others never dared to dream of eating this well in the past. However, Su Binglan always gave them rice and meat since they moved into the Su family’s house. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan also ordered clothes for Qiu He and the others, and their bedding was new.
She had also gotten someone to make clothes for them. The bedding was all new. They were genuinely grateful to Su Binglan for all she had done for them.
“We must always work hard for Miss Su.” Qiu He and the others were bent on repaying their gratitude and wanted to make Su Binglan proud.
Qiu He passed the sweet potatoes to the others, and they started eating. After peeling the skin and eating the insides, they thought it was sweet and delicious.
“ It’s so delicious!” Luo Juan’s eyes lit up.
Du Xiaoju felt so touched that she was about to cry. “I’ve never eaten anything so delicious. So, this is a sweet potato? It’s so sweet and fragrant.”
Du Xiaoju could not bear to eat them in big mouthfuls—instead, she savored them.
Qiu He and Luo Kang looked at each other excitedly. They were ecstatic to be able to eat the delicious food Su Binglan had made for them.
Baili Jinghua was not asleep either when Su Binglan went to deliver the roasted sweet potatoes. However, Baili Xihong was sound asleep.
Baili Jinghua looked at Su Binglan, then at Luo Jin’an, and said smilingly, “Young Master Jin’an, you were worried about your wife, so you came along too.
Luo Jin’an’s eyelids twitched. He knew Baili Jinghua was purposely teasing him..

Luo Jin’an looked at Baili Jinghua but said nothing.
Baili Jinghua smiled and thought, ‘Major General Wei has changed a lot.’
Luo Jin’an was carefree and bright in the past, like a breeze through the mountains. However, he became quiet and steady, with a hint of melancholy.
He would reply to jokes in the past, but no one could understand his emotions now. Still, Baili Jinghua noticed Luo Jin’an was gentler whenever he was beside Su Binglan.
Perhaps after experiencing so many terrible things, Su Binglan would be his salvation. One needed some woes in this world to have the strength to survive.
Su Binglan was familiar with Baili Jinghua’s liveliness, so she explained, “I asked him to come with me.”
Baili Jinghua raised her brows and said smilingly, “Don’t assume I don’t know how much you love him. How could Jin’an bear to let you leave the house in the middle of the night?
“He must’ve insisted on coming along. Well, you two should go home quickly. I won’t keep you. I’ll take these sweet potatoes, thank you.” With that, Baili
Jinghua closed the door and bolted it from the inside.
Ads by Pubfuture ‘Ugh!’ Su Binglan looked at her husband and said, “It’s freezing outside. Let’s go home.”
She was worried that Luo Jin’an would freeze. After all, he had cold poisoning and could not stand the cold.
Baili Jinghua was right. Su Binglan did not want Luo Jin’an to accompany her. It was Luo Jin’an who insisted. Su Binglan also knew he was a stubborn person sometimes.
Luo Jin’an looked down at his wife just as she raised her head to look at him. Luo Jin’an’s eyes were sparkling and charming. His eyes looked like misty clouds in the mountains under the moonlight.
Su Binglan moved her lips and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?” Luo Jin’an suddenly smiled, and his eyes were full of love. “You’re beautiful.”
He looked particularly attractive when he smiled. No matter how strong Su Binglan was, she still felt mesmerized at that moment.
She suddenly realized what was happening and smiled. “Do you think so?”
Su Binglan never had much of a concept of her own appearance, even though many said she was pretty. However, it felt different when Luo Jin’an said she was gorgeous. Her heart felt like it was bursting with fireworks, and she was delighted.
Luo Jin’an tidied up Su Binglan’s hair and said, “Yes, I do. It’s getting cold. Let’s go home.”
The night wind was intense and messed up Su Binglan’s hair. Her face was also red from the cold. Luo Jin’an felt sorry for his wife and wanted to get her home as soon as possible.
“Okay, let’s go home.”
The couple walked home immediately after. Su Binglan looked at her husband’s hand and felt like holding it. Perhaps it was because the sky was dark, the wind was too cold, or the moonlight was bright.

Seeing Su Binglan return, Su Wenwu said, “Sister, the roasted sweet potatoes are too delicious. If we go to town to sell them, we can make a lot of money,
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Roasting sweet potatoes are profitable, but it doesn’t earn much. Moreover, we can’t do too many things at once.”
She had started with a small business because she wanted to take things one step at a time. Since she had earned more money, she wanted to open more shops to expand her business. This way, she could earn more money quickly and do many other things.
“Also, I plan to give sweet potato slips to the villagers next year. If every family plants the slips, they won’t go hungry anymore.”
Su Fengmao was quite happy. “Binglan is always thinking about the villagers and our village. Everyone will be grateful to you.”
When Su Binglan went out, she put a piece of sweet potato on the charcoal and roasted it for Luo Jin i an to eat. She was worried that the sweet potato would get cold when she returned and would no longer taste as good.
Although she was busy sometimes, she was still attentive to her husband. Su
Binglan put the roasted sweet potato on a small plate and handed it to Luo Jin’an, saying, “Here, eat this”
After that, she continued, “I don’t want everyone to thank me. I just think that the yield of sweet potatoes will be high, so many people won’t starve.”
That was what Su Binglan intended to do.
“Still, I won’t give the slips away for free. When the time comes, I will ask the villagers to buy the slips from me. I’ll charge them two copper coins per pound. They can barter with me if they can’t afford it.

If I were selling sweet potatoes outside the village, I would charge others five copper coins per pound.
However, I’ll only sell the slips during the first year, so I’ll count them as two copper coins per pound.”
Su Binglan still had many sweet potatoes for her family, but she wanted the villagers to grow their own.
Liu Yinyin hurriedly said, “My mother also bought some land recently. She says she wants to plant sweet potato slips at the start of spring. My family can plant various sweet potato slips and use them to make more noodles.”
Su Binglan nodded approvingly and said, “That’s an excellent idea.”
Luo Jin’an was shocked after hearing the two’s discussions. If the yield of sweet potatoes was really that high, and he could plant them throughout Dingzhou, it would make a significant difference to the people there.
Fewer people would starve to death, and Dingzhou would have more grain reserves. It would be perfect for Dingzhou and its people’s stability.
At that moment, Su Binglan did not notice her husband’s bright eyes when she looked at him.
Everyone rested after eating their roasted sweet potatoes because they still had work to do at the hotpot restaurant the following day.
The business was booming over the three days because of the discount. Everyone had bright smiles, and the family would still count their earnings together.
They earned a lot during the first three days but less afterward. Still, the hotpot restaurant was doing well because most who went there to eat were from wealthier families. @@novelbin@@
Of course, many wealthy people were in town, mainly because Tenghe Town was close to the pier, and many relied on doing business to earn their wealth.
Many others came and went as merchants passed by this place and heard about the hotpot restaurant. Even they would go and have a taste.
When the hotpot restaurant was on the right track, Su Xueye and his construction team completed the tofu factory.
Immediately after, Su Binglan began to hire people to work there. The villagers knew what she would do, so they hurriedly put down their chores to apply after hearing the news.
Since many could not read and could not fill in an application form, Su Binglan decided to conduct on-site interviews.
Everyone who went to apply was from the village, so everyone knew each other. Su Binglan wrote down each applicant’s name and asked them a few questions. Then she told everyone to go home and wait for her decision..

The villagers were nervous and puzzled, but that was the Su family’s rules, so they had to abide by them. Moreover, many villagers had already benefited from the Su family. The villagers did not treat Su Binglan as a child and were polite to her.
However, everyone still thought that this interview format was relatively novel. Initially, the villagers were nervous, but they slowly relaxed when they saw Su Binglan speaking to everyone gently.
She only asked for the villagers’ names, where they lived, and what they were good at, “What are you good at?”
Lady Liu was confused. “Um, I don’t know.”
Su Binglan explained, “Oh, I was wondering what you do well.”
Lady Liu replied, “Well, I’m strong and can put in more effort. I’m also not afraid of hardships.”
Another person came for the interview and answered the same questions, “I’m good at washing clothes and cooking. I also raise chickens, ducks, and pigs. My parent says I’m thoughtful and meticulous, while the rest of my family says my cooking is delicious.”
Everyone answered Su Binglan’s questions thoughtfully, but most gave almost the same answers since village folk did the same work every day. The villagers were straightforward and honest but did not know how to put in good words for themselves.
Su Binglan asked everyone these questions and encouraged the villagers to ask her some in return. “If you have questions about the tofu factory, you can always ask me.”
She recruited people to work in hopes that everyone could go to work efficiently and understand things.
Ms. Yang, Su Binglan’s neighbor, said, “Um, Binglan, everyone has heard that we’ll get paid five copper coins daily. Is that true?
She felt a little embarrassed to ask such a question. Still, everyone was most concerned about money. @@novelbin@@
Ads by Pubfuture The autumn harvest had already ended, and everyone had nothing to do at home. The villagers were also hurrying to get more rice ready for the winter. They would be delighted to work at the factory to earn some money.
Moreover, they were in their own village, so they did not have to travel far. Just like working in the fields daily, they would not delay their family affairs.
Ms. Yang asked this question, but she feared making Su Binglan unhappy. She also hesitated for a long time before asking about it.
Su Binglan looked at everyone’s expressions and explained smilingly, “Indeed, the salary is five copper coins a day, which adds to 150 a month. That’s the base salary, mainly depending on your performance.
“My family and I will give whoever performs well a bonus, primarily if we sell more tofu products. That means everyone can potentially earn more than 150 copper coins a month, but the bonus amount is uncertain.”
Most of the women in the village were illiterate, but they could understand the reason. They became even more excited when they heard there would be a bonus and they could potentially earn more than 150 coins a month.
The villagers’ eyes were full of eagerness, and they could not wait to work in the factory. Su Binglan noticed this and understood how they felt.
“Don’t worry, everyone. The wages and benefits will be outstanding if you work in my family’s tofu factory. We’ll be going with morning and evening shifts, and you work three and a half hours daily.
“If you have something to do, you can ask for a day off. However, if you ask for one, we will deduct your wages according to the time. Of course, you can also find someone to replace you temporarily.
“Also, when you have spare time, you can help others by becoming their replacement. My family will pay you monthly and on time. You will not be in arrears.
“However, my family and I have a requirement. That is, you must keep our process a secret. If you tell others about our factory’s practices, we will hold you accountable because it will affect the factory’s business and, ultimately, everyone else’s wages.
“We will also report that potential situation to the people in the village.”
Su Binglan explained many things, and everyone thought it was reasonable. Having wages and bonuses was already good enough, so the villagers became excited about those things.
Moreover, they would only work three and a half hours a day, which was very little. With the shift system, they could still set aside time to do things at home.
The main reason for everyone’s excitement was that the factory was within the village. It was so close that it would not affect their daily lives instead of leaving early in the morning to walk to town.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan had also said the villagers could ask for a day off, and they could also find someone to replace them. Then the villagers could deal with their family matters in time.
Even if the villagers had to plant crops at the start of spring, they could go to work in the morning and plant crops after working hours in the afternoon. If the villagers worked in the afternoon, they could work their fields in the morning.
Everyone knew Su Binglan was a good person and was kind to everyone. Otherwise, they would not have such a good opportunity. However, the villagers could not be too sure whether or not Su Binglan would hire them.
Su Binglan wanted to consider whether some were more suited to work at the factory. Everyone hoped she would select them, but some lazier women felt slightly annoyed and thought they should have been more diligent daily.
The Su family had dinner in the evening as per usual. They sat on the heated platform and discussed the applicant list for the factory job.
Shen Qiuhua pointed at a person on the name list and said, “Yao Cuihua is usually very diligent. She works in the fields before dawn and doesn’t even go home to rest at noon. She won’t be able to stay still even if you tell her to. She always finds something to do.”
Su Feng Mao said, “This Liu Qiao.shi can somewhat read and is meticulous in doing things, but she doesn’t have much strength. Li Mei is quite difficult, even though she’s diligent and honest. However, she doesn’t talk much. She’s rather capable, so if you see a use for her, then by all means.”
Everyone discussed the applicant list together. Since everyone was from the same village, the family knew everyone’s home situations and personalities. Therefore, Su Binglan knew who to hire after discussing it with her family.
Shortly after, she arranged for these people to do different jobs in different parts of the factory. Su Binglan hired twenty-five people at once.
Initially, she would hire around ten people first and only hire more after the factory got on the right track. However, after thinking about it, some people were not easy to hire.
She might as well hire them at once and make more tofu products since she was not worried that the tofu products would not sell. It was equivalent to hiring most who went for the interview. Few did not make it due to being too young, old, or weak.
The following day, Shen Qiuhua went door to door to inform everyone who had gotten hired. They were thrilled and so excited that they could not speak
Everyone was grateful to Shen Qiuhua and even attempted to give her eggs from their homes when she was about to leave. However, she did not take any because she knew they needed to sell the eggs for money.
Of course, Shen Qiuhua also had to notify those who did not get hired.
“Thank you for at least giving me a chance, Miss Shen. I’m aware I’m still very young, but I just wanted to try. I’m sorry if I’ve troubled you to come all this way.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at the eleven-year-old Dong Xiaolei and thought of Su Binglan when she was that age. Her heart ached as she said, “Binglan said there would be more work opportunities in the future that you might be able to help with. I will tell you about it when the time comes, Little Lei.”
She could not bear to see Dong Xiaolei’s disappointed expression. ‘Sigh, too many villagers have not had an easy time.’
Shen Qiuhua’s family had been there before but now had better conditions. She never forgot the hard times her family faced and could understand how everyone felt..
