Su Wenwu said happily, "Song Yi will be thrilled, Little Sister. I'll tell him about it tomorrow."

He would have told Song Yi about the stinky tofu sooner if Song Yi had not lived so far away.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan's expression changed when her third brother mentioned Northern Mountain Village. "Your friend is from Northern Mountain Village?

"That's right, Little Sister. Do you know about that place? It's quite far from here, deep in the mountains.'

"Yes, I know," Su Binglan said, "They have many pine trees there, and some people use pine trees for their fire when making pottery."

The Taos from Willow Village typically used pine wood to make their pottery. They bought the pine wood from Northern Mountain Village but went into debt because of it.

After Su Binglan bought the Taos' business, she told Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian to pay off the Taos' debt. Now that the Taos had started making pottery again, they could afford more pine wood.

"How did you learn about that place, Little Sister? I heard from Song Yi that

there are a lot of pine trees in the mountains near his house."

After some thought, Su Binglan asked, "Are Northern Song Village and

Ads by Pubfuture Northern Mountain Village close to each other?"

Su Wenwu answered, "They're only a mountain apart, but the Northern Song villagers must cross that mountain to reach Northern Mountain Village. The road is tough to traverse. That's why it's a little further off.

"I might've arranged for Song Yi to get ingredients for the hotpot restaurant if he didn't live so far away."

Su Binglan asked, "Will it take him longer to reach town? It wouldn't inconvenience Song Yi if we hired him to sell stinky tofu in town, right?"

She wanted to build a staff dormitory, but Su Xueye was currently busy building the embroidery shop, while Su Zhengde had arranged for his team to help his niece renovate the hotpot restaurant in the east. They were so busy that they could not cope with another project.

Even if Su Binglan had hired them to build a staff dormitory, finishing would take a lot of time.

Su Wenwu said, "Song Yi isn't afraid of hardships, Little Sister. He can always wake up early and go home in the dark at night. He told me he was looking for a job.

"As for the ingredients for the hotpot restaurant, three people will suffice for now. They're from the surrounding villages, so it's more convenient for them to get the ingredients.

"Selling stinky tofu shouldn't be too hard on Song Yi, right? After all, he only needs to set up a stall in town to sell them daily. He should finish selling them before it gets too dark, correct?"

Su Wenwu wanted to find a job for Song Yi, but he was working for his sister, and she had to arrange these things.

Su Binglan noticed her third brother's anxiety and could understand his feelings. After some thought, she said, "How about this? The dessert shop and haggis soup shop have two rooms in the back. We can use them as a staff dormitory, and Song Yi can rest there. He can always go home and rest whenever he wants to.

"Li Shi is currently living in Northern Song Village, so he and Song Yi will be heading in the same direction. They can go home together at night."

Su Wenwu's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's a perfect plan."

After discussing living arrangements, Su Binglan changed the topic and discussed business again. She planned to get a small food cart for making and selling stinky tofu.

"The small cart can house oil, tofu, and seasoning. However, the small dining cart will be simple. If we sell stinky tofu, we'll only need to do it from noon to night since we only have a fixed daily amount. Then Song Yi can rest earlier if he sells out of stinky tofu.

"When the business gains traction, we can hire someone else to handle the stall. Then Song Yi will only be responsible for the delivery. He'll fundamentally be a small business manager."

Su Wenwu was thrilled after listening to his sister's plans. "I'll tell Song Yi about this tomorrow!" @@novelbin@@

Su Binglan nodded. "Yeah, I'll also need to teach him to fry the stinky tofu and season it."

After having dinner with the family, Su Binglan went to Su Zhengde's house. The sky had darkened, making it hard for the construction teams to continue their work. Hence, Su Zhengde and Su Xueye had already returned home. After all, they could only do construction work during the day.

The family had just finished eating and were delighted to see Su Binglan. She revealed a few blueprints and said, "Uncle Zhengde, I want to build a staff dormitory behind the tofu factory."

She had bought a few hundred acres of land before, and after the factory and hotpot restaurant made enough money, she bought the remaining land. Now, she could adequately plan the construction.

However, taking on such a large project would require a lot of money. Thus, she planned to make money while the construction team built the buildings.

She wanted that neighborhood to be somewhere her future employees could live. Each building would be an apartment building, and the rooms would vary in size.

Su Zhengde quickly took Su Binglan's blueprint and looked at it. "Are these blueprints for the staff dormitories?

Su Xueye and his father's two uncles also came over to look curiously at the blueprints. They knew whatever ideas Su Binglan came up with would be fresh.

Ads by Pubfuture

Everyone went to look at the blueprints, even Su Xueye.

Su Xueye asked, "Is this a two-leveled bed, Aunt Binglan?"

Su Binglan explained, "That's right. One room can have two bunk beds. Since that's the case, four people can live in one dorm room. If we build a row of two-story buildings like these, many people can live there."

They could build many two-story buildings like these to make a community. When the embroidery shop officially opened and Su Binglan expanded her factory, everyone could live in the dormitories.

Nonetheless, Su Binglan owned a large plot of land and could develop many things there.

Su Xueye said, "Grandpa, My team will complete the embroidery shop in a few days, so I can lead them to start constructing the dorms."

'You rascal," Su Zhengde said smilingly, "You're even taking my job now? I want to build stuff like these, too, you know?"

Su Binglan looked at the duo and said, "Don't worry about it, Uncle Zhengde.

Theres a blueprint of a winery at the bottom."

"A winery?" Su Zhengde's family members looked up at Su Binglan in disbelief.

No one expected her to want to build a winery.

No one found it strange when she wanted to build a tofu factory and an embroidery shop since she knew how to make tofu. Even though she was opening an embroidery shop soon, it would be fine since she knew people who could do embroidery.

However, her idea of building a winery shocked everyone. After all, brewing wine was a prestigious thing in everyone's eyes. It was not something ordinary people could do. Otherwise, wine would be relatively inexpensive.

Even Su Zhengde was reluctant to buy wineo He would drink it sparingly and only take one or two sips at a time, even if he did. He would also only take it out to drink if he had guests.

Su Binglan was unsurprised at everyone's reactions. Her Uncle Fengzhang reacted similarly when she first said she wanted to open a winery.

She smiled mysteriously, saying, "There's a reason why I want to open a winery, Uncle Zhengde. Please help me build it. You can hire more people to help with your construction since I still have many more things for you to build."

Since Su Binglan still had vast vacant land, she planned a food street business district. However, she intended to hold off on telling anyone as they would get anxious if she did.

'I wonder if it's better to build these things bit by bit so that the surrounding areas can prosper..'

Su Zhengde laughed heartily before saying, "Sure, Binglan. I can do it for you. I've seen the blueprints, but I'm curious about this thing. I can't wait to see what it'll look like once my team builds it. I'm sure it'll look terrific.

He loved looking at the blueprints his niece designed. He felt a sense of achievement just looking at them.

Meanwhile, Su Xueye looked at his grandfather and feigned disappointment. 'Grandpa, I want to build the staff dormitories, too. I've never built such a thing before."

Su Zhengde replied, "All right, I'll build the winery then."

"I was just joking with you, Grandpa. After all, Aunt Binglan says she still has many more things for us to build."

Su Binglan looked at the blueprints and thought it would be great if the duo could build a multi-story building. However, concrete did not exist in that era yet. If it did, the duo could build a taller building.

Fortunately, Su Binglan still had much more land and did not want to do that to avoid attracting attention.

'It's best to keep a low profile for now. I'll build these things according to the architectural style of this era.'

Then she revealed another blueprint and said, "Uncle Zhengde, I'd like you guys to help me make this, too."

Ads by Pubfuture "What's this, Binglan?" Su Zhengde's eldest son looked at the blueprint curiously.

Su Binglan then explained the blueprint contents in detail. After hearing her explanation, everyone nodded. "So it's a small dining cart with wheels to make it more convenient for pushing."

"It'll be easier to set up a stall in town with a cart like this." "Look, there are cabinets below for storing items, too." Everyone discussed the small dining cart's structure in amazement. Everyone was curious and could not wait to build it.

"Don't worry, Binglan. I'll make it for you tomorrow," Su Xueye's father said.

"I'm relieved to hear that." Su Binglan smiled, then asked about the embroidery shop's progress.

"Don't worry, Aunt Binglan," Su Xueye said, "We'll complete it in a few days according to your specifications. There won't be any issues."

"I'm not worried about you at all," Su Binglan spoke with them for a while more and left shortly after.

Many villagers and their families could not sleep that night. They planted their seeds and had nothing else to do. They became excited when Chief Su made another announcement.

They had heard from Chief Su that the tofu factory would hire six more people.

Although only six spots were available, everyone in the village eyed them. Many of them discussed it overnight.

"The factory is finally hiring again!'

"Chief Su told us that, so it must be true. They will do interviews tomorrow morning."

"I know how good my eldest daughter-in-law's job is at the factory. So, I'll try sending my second and third sons for the interview."

"It's great that the factory is hiring again. I used to have terrible headaches and couldn't work there, but I'm fine after taking the medicine Miss Su prescribed me. Now I can go for the interview tomorrow morning. I hope I get in this time."

"It would be perfect if you could work there, my dear wife."

"I know. I'll work in the morning and night so that I won't delay the housework."

"I can help care for our family. I'll cook for you before you go to the interview tomorrow."

"I'll make you something delicious tomorrow morning, my dear girl. Sleep well tonight and be in good spirits for tomorrow's interview, okay?"

"Don't worry, Mother. I'll answer every question Miss Su asks me."

"Yeah, the factory pays well, so you must perform your best."

Many families discussed the interview and went to bed later than usual. No one would be willing to keep their candles, or oil lamps lit on regular days. However, they made an exception that night.

Everyone busied themselves the following morning. Su Binglan went to the factory with her mother after breakfast to conduct the interviews. Shen Qiuhua was about to start preparing the stinky tofu, too.

Su Binglan expected the queue to be shorter when she arrived at the factory. Instead, the exceedingly long queue startled her. She only expected a few people to attend the interview as she would only hire six more people. There were even more people compared to the first time.

Su Binglan thought that many villagers did not attend the first interview because they did not know about the factory's situation. However, she noticed many familiar faces during this interview.

Someone happily told Su Binglan, "I'm in good health now thanks to the medicine you gave me, Miss Su. I won't feel tired if I work now. Instead, I feel more energized." @@novelbin@@

"Miss Su, the medicine you gave me was very effective. My mother is in much better health now, and I no longer have to stay home to care for her. She wakes up by herself now so that I can come out and work without delay."

"I came for the first interview, Miss Su. I've been working very hard recently, so you don't have to worry because I'll do my best if I can work at the factory." "Miss Su, I don't even know how to thank you."

"I've already planted the rapeseeds you mentioned, Miss Su. I have so much free time now and want to work for you. I'll be proud to work for you."

"Miss Su, my eldest daughter-in-law works in your factory, so I know your factory's quality. Since I'm in good health now, I hope to work for you. I can do many things."

Everyone had attended the interview to answer Su Binglan's questions, but they could not help but show their gratitude and chatter when they saw her. They said everything they had kept in their hearts.

Then Su Binglan understood why so many people came. They had taken the

medicine she had prescribed them and recovered. They no longer had health issues and could work at the factory.

Su Binglan was delighted to see everyone, especially because everyone was high-spirited.

'No wonder there are so many familiar faces here.'

She could feel how much everyone wanted to work at the factory. She thought about how she would officially open her embroidery shop in a few days and asked them if they knew how to do needlework.

Everyone became even more excited when they heard her asking about needlework. The villagers already knew that a few people had started embroidering for Su Binglan.

Everyone wanted to work for Su Binglan.

"Miss Su, I know how to do needlework. I made the clothes I'm wearing for the interview."

"Miss Su, I know how to sew and patch, but I don't know how to make clothes.

I just know basic needlework."

"I-I haven't learned needlework, but I'm willing to try.."

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone was enthusiastic, especially when Su Binglan asked if they knew how to do needlework. Everyone's eyes lit up, and they actively answered her question.

No one lied to her because they knew what she could build in the future. Therefore, everyone answered the questions thoughtfully and honestly.

They thought they could work in any shop Su Binglan would open next if they did not get the factory or embroidery shop job. Everyone was grateful and would not lie to her.

Su Binglan had registered everyone she interviewed. She initially only wanted

to hire people for the factory, but since so many people showed up this time, she also conducted interviews for the embroidery shop.

She could arrange for some people to work there when the embroidery shop opened in a few days.

After a busy morning, Su Binglan chose six people and told them to come to work in the afternoon. Then she prepared to set up an accessory shop in town during the afternoon to sell things like backpacks, handbags, and dolls.

After breakfast, Su Wenwu rode his horse to Northern Mountain Village. Entering Northern Song Village was still fine, but there was a long upslope when entering Northern Mountain Village, so the horse could only stroll through.

After heading up the slope, Su Wenwu could see a village in the valley at the mountain's foot. The sun rose, and its rays shone on the entire village, giving it a layer of moving light in the morning.

Su Wenwu stood atop the hill and saw the mountains filled with pine trees in the distance.

'No wonder Tao Zhenggang and the rest of Willow Village had to buy pine wood from Northern Mountain Village. There are so many pine trees here.'

He rode his horse into the village and asked an older man at the village entrance where Song Yi's house was. However, when Su Wenwu led his horse around the village, the villagers could not help but look at the horse.

Ads by Pubfuture No horses were in such a remote mountain village, not even cows. Instead, the villagers would rely on their workforce to export their pinewood and firewood. That was why everyone was surprised to see a young man walking around the village with a horse. The villagers were curious. "I wonder who that is."

"Is he someone's relative?

One's family would be famous throughout Northern Mountain Village if one had a relative who owned a horse. Having wealthy relatives was something one would be proud of.

The door was open when Su Wenwu arrived at Song Yi's house, and a man was chopping firewood there. The man was thin, and half his hair was white. A woman was inside the house with a head full of white hair.

Su Wenwu guessed they were probably Song Yi's parents. They reminded Su

Wenwu of his own parents, who also had white hair.

Then he suddenly thought, 'Wait, my parents' complexions are getting better, and they look younger. They barely have white hair anymore.'

His thoughts distracted him, but he remembered why he had come to Northern Mountain Village a moment later.

He looked at the door but did not see Song Yi. He raised his hand to knock, asking, "Excuse me, does Song Yi live here?"

When the older man chopping firewood in the courtyard heard that, he raised his head. He was surprised to see a handsome young man at the door. 'Young man, are you looking for Song Yi?"

"My name is Su Wenwu, and I'm here to talk to Song Yi."

Mr. Song was thrilled upon hearing Su Wenwu's name. He quickly put down his ax and said, "So, you're Wenwu. Song Yi often talked about you when he returned to us. He told us everything.

"He said you saved him when he was on the way to the bodyguard agency to deliver goods with you. Quick, come in. My wife and I kept telling Song Yi to invite you for a meal, but he always said you were too busy and wouldn't have time.

Mr. Song approached Su Wenwu, but Su Wenwu noticed Mr. Song limping. It reminded Su Wenwu of how his father looked when his foot was still in terrible shape. Su Wenwu's heart felt bitter at the thought.

Then the woman busy in the room heard voices and came out. She looked at her husband and said, "Oh? We have a visitor. I'll get him some water."

Mr. Song said, "This is Song Yi's close friend and benefactor, Su Wenwu."

Mrs. Song was full of gratitude when she heard her husband's words. "Ah, we finally get to meet you. Did you have breakfast yet? Come in quicldy, and I'll cook for you."

Su Wenwu felt Mr. and Mrs. Song's enthusiasm and said, "Um, Mr. and Mrs.

Song, where did Song Yi go?"

Mrs. Song explained, "He went to the back of the mountain to cut pine wood. We made most of the things in our house out of pine wood. We even chop them up and sell them.

"We heard the Tao family from Willow Village will buy more pinewood soon. Since our son is so full of energy now, he has already busied himself straight after breakfast at dawn. Don't worry. He'll return soon after cutting some pine wood and bringing them home."

Su Wenwu knew about the Taos in Willow Village. He knew his sister would open a winery soon and needed large pots and jars from them. Still, he did not expect his sister to buy a pottery workshop.

The Su family enjoyed sitting around the table to eat during dinner. They would discuss what happened throughout their day, so Su Wenwu knew most of his sister's actions.

He also knew the pottery workshop needed pine wood for their furnace to make pottery jars and other things. It turned out that Song Yi had started selling pine wood.

Su Wenwu waited at Song Yi's house for a while, and Mrs. Li happily poured water for Su Wenwu. She even took out two eggs she had saved and poached them in boiling water for Su Wenwu to eat while waiting.

Su Wenwu looked at the lotus-wrapped poached egg Mrs. Song brought. He stood up and said, "I-I've already had breakfast, Mrs. Song. I can't eat another bite."

Su Wenwu was waiting in the inner room, so he did not notice Mrs. Song entering the kitchen to make him a dish. She had made him two poached eggs, and Su Wenwu knew how much ordinary farmers valued eggs. Even he could not bear to eat them at home. @@novelbin@@

When things got tough for Su Wenwu and Song Yi in the past, they would get stranded and could barely sleep at night. What they wanted to eat most were poached eggs and meat. After all, they typically had nothing good to eat at that time.

He remembered Song Yi saying he could only afford to eat one poached egg during Chinese New Year and other festivals. Therefore, Su Wenwu could not bear to eat the lotus-wrapped poached eggs Mrs. Song had made for him.

Mrs. Song said enthusiastically, 'You boys can eat a lot. Even if you've already had breakfast, you must be hungry again after traveling a long distance. Hurry and eat these before they get cold. It's best to eat them while they're still warm."

Mr. and Mrs. Song were honest people. They did not know how else to thank Su Wenwu besides offering him the best food they had in their house..

Su Wenwu still could not bear to eat the two lotus-wrapped poached eggs, as he would feel guilty. He knew how precious the two eggs were to the family, and they would be unwilling to eat such things normally. @@novelbin@@

As this happened, Song Yi returned. Su Wenwu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his close friend.

'I'll let Song Yi have the poached eggs.'

Song Yi was ecstatic when he saw Su Wenwu. He hurriedly put down the wood he carried on his back and rushed into the house. "Why are you here, Wenwu?

His face was full of surprise and joy as he hugged Su Wenwu. The duo patted each other's shoulders happily.

Su Wenwu started, "Your mother made me two lotus-wrapped poached eggs, but l i ve already had breakfast and can't eat another bite."

"My mother cooked them for you, so you must eat them. There's no need to be shy."

Su Wenwu insisted, "You and your parents should eat them. Quick, I'll tell you something after you've eaten.

"You have something to tell me? I knew you must've had a reason for visiting." There was no need for formalities between the two brother-like friends. Only people with close bonds could speak this way with each other.

Su Wenwu always felt relaxed and casually spoke whenever he was with Song Yi. Still, Su Wenwu would show self-restraint in front of Mr. and Mrs. Song since they were older.

Ads by Pubfuture "Yeah, I have good news, so you should quickly eat with your parents first."

Still, Song Yi could not bear to eat the poached eggs and insisted on giving them to his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Song felt warm and touched. They knew that Su Wenwu was a good child.

"I have a job for you. Are you willing to do it?" Su Wenwu asked.

Song Yi answered readily, "Of course, I'll work for you!'

Northern Mountain Village was relatively rural, so they knew little about what was happening outside. Song Yi was unaware of the changes to Su Teng Village and the Su family.

"You don't even know what I'll ask you to do. How can you be so sure of yourself?" Su Wenwu teased.

Song Yi chucked, saying, "I know it's something good, especially knowing what kind of person you are. How can I not trust you?

Just this sentence made Su Wenwu's heart feel warm. It felt wonderful to have a close friend's complete trust.

Su Wenwu briefly explained, "My sister opened a tofu factory and will start making stinky tofu too. It's a delicacy she recently developed. You'll know how delicious it is after you try it.

"She wants to hire someone to run a stall in town to sell it. You don't have to worry about the details since you'll only be responsible for handling the stall. Your monthly salary will be 150 copper coins, and you'll also receive bonuses.

"Although you'll need to work in Teng He Town, you only need to be there from noon till night. You can come home after closing the stall. However, since you live so far away, my sister's dessert shop has rooms in the backyard where you can stay. Still, you can choose to come home if you want.

Song Yi suspected he had misheard what his brother-like friend had said.

'What? Isn't Wenwu's family struggling? Didn't Wenwu have to leave the village to earn money to treat his sister well when he returned? Also, his mother works hard in town to help people wash their clothes, right?

I understand his family's situation. Wait, maybe I'm missing something here. Why is there a tofu factory so suddenly? Although I don't know what a factory is, it sounds like a big place.

'Wenwu also says his sister has a shop in town. It doesn't sound like a small shop, either, since he says there are places to rest in the backyard.' Song Yi was stunned, not to mention his parents.

'Did we hear Wenwu say Song Yi can earn 150 copper coins monthly?' The two parents were so excited they did not know where to put their hands.

'Does that mean Song Yi will have an actual job to do? He can earn a lot in a year if he gets paid that much a month. That's almost two silver taels a year!' The older couple was so excited they could barely speak.

Northern Mountain Village was too remote, and its crop yields were lacking. Whenever the autumn harvest ended, the villagers had to carry heavy baskets of grain out to sell.

Harvesters usually avoided going there to buy crops because of the village's

remoteness. Instead, the harvesters would go to their neighboring villages to buy crops. Therefore, the Northern Mountain villagers had to carry their crops far away to sell them for a reasonable price.

Sometimes, the Northern Mountain villagers would walk ten miles in the morning to sell their goods. However, they would have to bring their crops back to the village if they could not sell them all.

The Northern Mountain villagers would go back and forth with their heavy loads to get a few more coins.

The Songs had grown accustomed to this life. Previously, when Mr. Song was walking on the mountain road in the dead of night and could barely see where he was going, he fell and broke his leg.

Afterward, the Songs' lives became challenging. Song Yi had to take on the family's heavy burden at a young age. He went to town to find work to earn money, but it was tough.

He realized his body was strong and decided to work at a bodyguard agency.

After experiencing a life-and-death situation, Song Yi became afraid.

Ads by Pubfuture

However, he did not fear dying-instead, he feared leaving his parents behind. Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Song no longer wanted him to take such risks when he returned to them. After all, he would have a bite to eat and would not starve if he worked at home.

The older couple became misty-eyed when they heard Su Wenwu's explanation and understood what was happening. Mrs. Song discreetly wiped her tears.

Song Yi returned to his senses and said hoarsely, "Wenwu, is that true?

Although Song Yi had many questions, he did not ask them because he trusted his close friend.

Su Wenwu patted Song Yi's shoulder and said, "Why would I lie to you? Of course, it's true. So, are you in or not?"

"Yes! I'm in," Song Yi nodded thoughtfully.

"Then it's settled. You'll follow me to my village in a while. I won't explain much, but you'll find out when we arrive?' Su Wenwu knew Song Yi had some doubts, so it would be more helpful to take Song Yi to Su Teng Village to see things for himself than to explain.

"Mr. and Mrs. Song, I'll have your son tell you the details when he returns home tonight."

Mr. and Mrs. Song returned to their senses and nodded happily. "Thank you so much, Wenwu."

"Of course! Song Yi and I are like brothers. You don't have to thank me, okay?" Su Wenwu said, "Besides, I trust Song Yi to do these things instead of someone I'm unfamiliar with. Song Yi should help me."

Although that was what Su Wenwu had said, the older couple knew the true meaning behind his words. They knew he was there to help them. "Don't worry, Wenwu," Song Yi said, "I'll do my best."

"Of course! I wouldn't have offered you a job if I didn't trust you."

After chatting, Su Wenwu took his close friend to Su Teng Village on his horse.

Song Yi sat on the horse and got so excited that he barely knew how to react.

"Wow, you can ride a horse, huh, Wenwu?" Song Yi was envious but also happy for his friend.

"Yeah, it belongs to my sister since she bought it," Su Wenwu explained. He could not bear leaving his sister out of the conversation whenever he spoke to Song Yi on the way to Su Teng Village.

Song Yi listened attentively as if Su Wenwu was telling a story of legend. It was unbelievable. Of course, he trusted Su Wenwu but was just in disbelief.

'It was summer when Wenwu and I were at the bodyguard agency.. We returned home on the day of the Mooncake Festival, but such dramatic changes happened to Wenwu, his family, and Su Teng Village after just a few months?'

Song Yi was curious and puzzled along the journey back to Su Teng Village as he listened to Su Wenwu. He could not wait to get there and see all the changes in the village that Su Wenwu had told him about.

However, he felt a slight sourness in his heart as he listened. "Wenwu, I'm jealous I don't have a sister like yours."

Su Wenwu did not feign humbleness-instead, he said proudly, "I have a pretty

and bright younger sister, don't I? She's such a capable person."

These words pierced Song Yi's heart since he wanted a sister like Su Binglan. He hurriedly said, "Stop it. If you continue, I'll want my parents to give me a younger sister even more."

When Song Yi mentioned his parents, it diverted Su Wenwu's attention. He said, "My father's foot got severely injured, too. He couldn't walk back then, and the doctor said he couldn't do anything to help my father. However, my father can walk and run like normal now that he has recovered."

Song Yi's entire body trembled upon hearing those words. After gradually regaining his senses, his eyes widened as he thought, 'Did I hear that right? How did his father recover from such a severe foot injury?

Song Yi could not believe it. He was so excited that he wanted to say something, but his lips trembled as he struggled to compose a sentence. After a while, he finally asked, "Did I mishear you, Wenwu? Your father's foot has healed?"

When the two close friends started their journey to the bodyguard agency in the past, they would chat about their families and homes whenever they missed them.

Ads by Pubfuture Song Yi had heard about Su Fengmao's severe foot injury when the older man moved goods at the dock. Su Wenwu also said no one could treat his father's foot, even if they went to a professional doctor.

Mr. Song had also injured his foot, but it was from a fall. It was severe, and he could not recover, causing him to develop a limp.

Su Wenwu heard Song Yi's excitement and understood the reason behind it. "Don't worry, Song Yi. I'll ask my sister about that when we get back. She might be able to heal your father's foot.

Su Wenwu was not as knowledgeable as his sister and did not know how severe Mr. Song's foot injury was. In his heart, he felt his sister was omnipotent and could heal many people.

However, he knew not to say that, as he did not want to set his sister up for failure. Therefore, he said he would ask his sister about it first. Even so, it ignited hope in Song Yi's heart.

'My family's life will improve if my father's foot can recover, and he can start a proper business.'

"Thank you, Wenwu."

There was no such thing as thanks between brothers, but Song Yi did not know what else to do besides thank his close friend. Not only did Su Wenwu save him once, but he was also helping him now.

Song Yi had nothing else he could do to repay Su Wenwu besides work hard for him.

While riding the horse to Su Teng Village, Su Wenwu told Song Yi, sitting behind him, 'You can thank me if your father's foot recovers."

"All right," Song Yi said. @@novelbin@@

The two arrived at Su Teng Village while chatting. Song Yi saw many people building houses in the distance when they passed a piece of land. The buildings looked massive and took up most of the land. However, the buildings looked different from traditional houses.

Surprised, Song Yi asked, "Wenwu, what are those people doing over there?"

"Oh, that's the embroidery shop they're building," Su Wenwu answered, "That's the embroidery shop my sister will run soon. The workers will finish building it in two days."

"An embroidery shop? Why is it so big?"

Su Wenwu nodded. "I guess it is big, but you haven't seen the tofu factory yet.

That building is massive, and it's in the village behind my family's house."

Walking alongside Song Yi made Su Wenwu recall the past. That was why he sometimes felt the changes he had witnessed were unreal. His heart ached when he thought about how hard it was for his family back then.

"I can't wait to see it!" Song Yi had to suppress his curiosity. He wanted to fly to Su Teng Village to see what it looked like.

"You'll see it soon enough."

When the duo arrived at the village entrance, they got off the horse and walked in together. They took the road north of the village and saw a few oxcarts moving in.

Song Yi looked at these carriages and was stunned. If Su Wenwu had not told him this was Su Teng Village and it looked like this, he would have thought he was in a bustling town as he could already see a few oxcarts.

"Your village is so rich now? Does everyone have an oxcart?" Song Yi was amazed.

"No, they're here to collect their tofu products," Su Wenwu said, "It might be a delivery day, so many people are here to collect their goods."

Some of the oxcarts heading out passed by Song Yi, and he could smell a fragrance from them. He could not describe it, but he knew it smelled good. He gulped his saliva from hunger despite himself.

His family could only afford two daily meals, one in the morning and one in the evening, so Song Yi was always hungry. That was all they could eat since there was not enough food at home.

Therefore, Song Yi got hungry after smelling the delicious fragrance. Still, he said nothing.

It was almost noon when he followed Su Wenwu into the village. He could see the older villagers gathering in twos and threes, sitting on folding stools and sunbathing smilingly.

Song Yi was even more surprised. He felt that the mental state of the Su Teng villagers differed from that of his village. Even when the Northern Mountain villagers went to sit under the sun to chat, they would have worried looks about them.

However, everyone in Su Teng Village wore dazzling smiles that radiated hope.

"Your village is so much different than before, Wenwu." Song Yi could feel how lively Su Teng Village was. He could feel the aura of life as he looked at everything around him.

'So, this is what it's like to have a good life.'

"Yeah, everyone's lives have improved, so they're much happier now."

Everyone's current mood had shifted from before as they could eat their fill without worry, wear warm clothes, and do proper jobs. The Su family was also doing well, so Su Wenwu had no worries and could do his work peacefully.

Song Yi was even more shocked when he saw the Su family's mansion-like house and the tofu factory behind it.

Su Binglan hired six more people after her interviews. The six new workers went into the factory with Shen Qiuhua, and she taught them how to make tofu when the flowers bloomed.

By noon, Shen Qiuhua had already brought everyone to make stinky tofu.

Su Binglan went home after finishing her work. She sorted everyone's interview list in her study and considered the most suitable candidates to work in the embroidery shop.

However, she started to prepare lunch immediately after as she had to go to town in the afternoon. At that moment, Su Wenwu brought Song Yi to the house and introduced him to Su Binglan.

Su Binglan said smilingly, "You should have lunch with us since you're my

third brother's close friend. I'll tell you about the stinky tofu after lunch.."

Song Yi was shocked when he saw Su Binglan.

'So, she's Wenwu's legendary sister? She is as beautiful as a fairy and has no cold or noble temperament.'

Song Yi felt very restrained when facing Su Binglan. He lowered his head and did not know what to say. He felt he was not in a village and that this house belonged to a wealthy family.

Su Wenwu noticed Song Yi's restraint and said, "Don't be so reserved, Song Yi.

Just make yourself at home and sit on the bed. I'll get you some water."

Song Yi returned to his senses when he heard Su Wenwu's voice. "There's no need, Wenwu. I don't want to impose."

Without waiting for Song Yi to finish, Su Wenwu interjected thoughtfully, "Song Yi, we're not strangers. I said you could have lunch with us, so don't argue. My sister wants to discuss selling stinky tofu with you in the afternoon."

Song Yi could only nod when he heard his friend's words.

"Just listen to Wenwu," Su Binglan said, "You have an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with tofu and stinky tofu. Then you can answer the customers' questions when you start selling them.

Ads by Pubfuture "Third Brother, can you get some tofu from the factory? I'll prepare a tofu banquet for lunch today."

Su Wenwu got excited when his sister mentioned having a tofu banquet. After all, she had never made a tofu banquet before. Su Wenwu wondered what kind of delicious tofu dishes his sister would make.

He felt full from breakfast, but when his sister mentioned the banquet, he suddenly felt hungry again. His eyes shone brightly, and he could not wait to eat the food his sister would soon prepare.

Su Wenwu patted Song Yi's shoulder and said, "That's great. My little sister usually cooks for us. We can finally enjoy some delicious tofu dishes for the banquet.

Song Yi only learned what tofu was when Su Wenwu explained it to him on the way back to Su Teng Village. Still, he thought it must be delicious.

Su Binglan continued, "Mother should have finished preparing the tofu pudding. Remember to bring some over since I'll also make stinky tofu."

Su Wenwu's stinky tofu craving grew stronger. "I haven't eaten stinky tofu in a long time, Little Sister. I can finally have it today."

Stinky tofu tasted unforgettable and delicious, but it smelled strange.

However, if one ignored the smell, one would know how delicious it was.

Su Wenwu said readily before bringing Song Yi to the tofu factory, "I'll be back as soon as possible, Little Sister."

That was Song Yi's first time seeing tofu, and he could smell its rich aroma even from the factory entrance, sniffing the air despite himself.

Su Wenwu used a rice bowl to scoop the tofu and placed them in a bucket to take them home. Then Su Binglan started preparing the tofu banquet.

Su Wenwu quickly went to Su Binglan's side and said, "Little sister, I'll be your assistant."

He felt thrilled to help his sister whenever she cooked. He would watch her prepare and cook step by step. Whenever his sister served delicious food, he would feel a sense of accomplishment as if he had made it himself.

Su Binglan noticed Su Wenwu's enthusiasm and smiled. "All right, you can help, Third Brother."

Song Yi felt anxious as he had nothing to do, so he said, "I'd like to help, too, Miss Su!"

Su Binglan looked at Song Yi's awkward expression and said, "That's okay. My third brother will help. Don't feel so restrained. You can look around in the backyard where the medicinal herbs are. My second brother's apprentices are there planting more herbs."

Su Wenxiu was busy every day. Sometimes, he would go to town and study. Other times, he would be in the backyard with his apprentices to plant herbs and teach medical skills.

It was as if he had gone crazy studying every day. Whenever Su Binglan had time, she would share more of her knowledge with him. Sometimes, she would even write down some medical things at night for Su Wenxiu to read during the day.

That was why Su Wenxiu had made significant progress. He also started practicing on small animals according to his sister's methods. With that, he garnered much surgical knowledge.

Song Yi saw a vast medicinal field when he went to look at the backyard. He realized the family had much more land in their big house and had sectioned off a portion to grow medicinal herbs. Song Yi was astounded when he saw so many herbs.

Su Wenxiu did not notice him as his three apprentices managed the herbs while listing to their master's medical knowledge. The apprentices looked like they were in a trance.

Su Binglan first made minced meat and tofu soup.

Ads by Pubfuture

She soaked the dried mushrooms for a while and chopped the tofu to place them in a large bowl when they were soft. After that, she broke the egg, added salt, and poured it into the tofu.

Then she added the water she used to soak the mushrooms. Soon after, Su Wenwu stirred it and let it simmer.

Su Binglan took more mushrooms, sliced carrots, then chopped the scallions, ginger, and garlic. After steaming the tofu, Su Wenwu began to stir-fry the meat filling.

Afterward, he added the ingredient his sister had prepared, added seasoning, and stir-fried it for a little while more.

Su Binglan put the stir-fried minced meat into the egg drop soup and completed the dish. Soon after, she made garlic tofu, braised tofu, pan-fried tofu, preserved egg tofu, and tofu with eggplants.

She even made tofu and mushroom soup.

"I'll make some stinky tofu soon, and then we can eat."

The dishes looked delicious when Su Binglan served them. At that moment, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua returned. The older couple could smell the enticing fragrance when they entered the house.

The couple did not even need to guess to know that their daughter was the one who cooked all the delicious food. The dishes also smelled different from the food they had eaten in the past. They knew their daughter must've made new food for them to try.

Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao quickly entered the house while Su Binglan made stinky tofu. Then Su Wenwu went to the backyard to call Su Wenxiu, Song Yi, and the three apprentices.

Immediately after, everyone sat around the dining table and ate happily. The various tofu dishes tasted different to everyone. Song Yi did not dare to pick the food up with his chopsticks as he was too shy.

Ultimately, Su Wenwu took the initiative to put food into Song Yi's bowl, saying, "Quickly, eat."

Even Shen Qiuhua took care of Song Yi. "You're not an outsider hear, dear boy. Binglan made so much food, so hurry and eat while they're still warm.

Only then did Song Yi start eating. He could not believe how many delicious dishes Su Binglan had made.

'So, this is what tofu can taste like. The stinky tofu is delicious, too!' Song Yi felt so touched that he became teary-eyed. He tried to control his emotions and not let himself cry.

That was the most filling meal Song Yi had ever had. He had never eaten such delicious food before.

Immediately after finishing their meal, Su Xueye's father brought over a small dining cart..

Su Binglan had prepared some extra stinky tofu for lunch and planned to give some to Su Xueye's family. She did not expect Su Xueye's father, Su Wenxing, to deliver the dining cart.

She looked at the cart and explained, "Uncle Wenxian, you did an excellent job!

That's what I imagine it to look like."

Su Fengmao said, "Your Uncle Zhengde's three sons are outstanding carpenters. The things they make are nothing short of perfect."

Su Wenxing rubbed his hands together and said honestly. "You're too kind, Second Uncle." He called Su Fengmao his second uncle regarding seniority, but their age difference was negligible.

Su Binglan looked at the dining cart, and there were no problems with it, so Su Wenxing prepared to leave. Su Binglan gave him the stinky tofu she had packed and told him to bring it home.

However, Su Wenxing was too embarrassed to take it. He had purposely come over after everyone finished lunch, but he did not expect Su Binglan to give him something in return.

She had already paid him a lot to make the dining cart, so Su Wenxian simply made the dining cart without question. Still, Su Binglan insisted on giving him the stinky tofu.

"Uncle Wenxian, don't you remember having stinky tofu?" Su Binglan said, "I made more this time for you to bring back to the others to try."

Su Wenxing heard that it was stinky tofu and did not refuse. He took it with a smile and went home soon after.

Ads by Pubfuture Afterward, Su Binglan taught Song Yi to make stinky tofu with tofu pudding on the dining cart. The cart had a place for frying, and Song Yi only needed to put charcoal below it to fry the tofu. @@novelbin@@

After frying the tofu, he would brush on the seasoning, and then the customers could eat. It was pretty straightforward, and Song Yi understood how it worked at a glance.

Su Binglan had Song Yi sign a contract for the stinky tofu stall and told him more about it. He did well to remember everything. He also did not expect to earn more the more he sold.

With that, he could earn more than 150 copper coins monthly, which made him feel warm and energized.

In the afternoon, Su Wenwu accompanied Song Yi to town to sell stinky tofu for the first time. First, he helped Song Yi sell the food on the dining cart as a form of training. When Song Yi became familiar with things, he would sell stinky tofu independently.

The current Teng He town was bustling as many people and stalls were around. The townsfolk were curious when they saw Su Wenwu and Song Yi pushing the dining cart.

"What's that thing? Are they setting up a stall here?"

"Whoa, that thing has wheels. It looks convenient to use!"

"Yeah, it doesn't take up much space, either, and he won't have to use much strength to move it."

"That's a novel-looking thing."

"I see the words 'stinky tofu' on it. I also see writing saying it's three copper coins for five skewers and five coins for ten skewers. So, five skewers is a small order, and ten skewers are large."

"If it has something to do with tofu, it can only be from the Su family. Still, I wonder why they call it stinky tofu."

"I've heard of that delicacy. The people working at the tofu factory in Su Teng Village have given out stinky tofu to their people once. I heard it's delicious, even though it smells strange."

Song Yi and Su Wenwu set up the stall in the market on the east side of town. Many people were around shopping and selling things. They could not help but look at the highly unique dining cart when they passed by.

The cart only took up a small place, and Song Yi could cook on it by placing charcoal in the compartment below. Then he put some oil in a small pot and fried the tofu. The smell wafted through the air immediately after.

Although it smelled strange, the fragrance was enticing.

Song Yi said while frying the tofu, "The first 20 customers can taste these for free."

That was what Su Binglan instructed, and Song Yi followed. However, only the first 20 customers could taste stinky tofu for free. Everyone became excited when they heard that and no longer wondered what stinky tofu was. They only wanted to be the first people to try it.

"Miss Su l s food must be delicious."

Soon, the townsfolk formed a line in front of the dining cart.

Su Wenwu was on the sidelines helping to brush the seasoning onto the stinky tofu. Then Song Yi gave each person a skewer. The person in front of the line took the skewer and was stunned after his first bite.

"Is it good?" The people behind him also took their servings and started eating.

Everyone nodded and praised, "Wow! It's truly delicious."

"One skewer isn't enough for me. Can I have another?"

Ads by Pubfuture

Song Yi smiled at everyone and said, "We're doing a small business, so only the first 20 skewers are free. You must line up and buy them if you want more. You can refer to the prices here. A small order of five skewers is three coins, and a big order of ten skewers costs five."

"I'll take a small order of five, please."

Three coins were a reasonable price for some townsfolk, so they bought more stinky tofu to satisfy their cravings. The first 20 people to try stinky tofu for free liked how it tasted and paid to order more-only those who could not bear to spend money held off and did not buy it.

Everyone knew how delicious stinky tofu was in just a short while. The townsfolk also knew it was something Miss Su had come up with.

Everyone recognized Su Wenwu since they had eaten at the hotpot restaurant before. They went over to greet him when they saw him and bought stinky tofu.

The wealthier townsfolk bought a few more servings and planned to bring them home for their families to try.

"This thing smells weird but tastes delicious. Hahaha, we don't need to try new delicacies from the Su family to know how good they'll taste."

The Su family's reputation had spread far and wide in Teng He Town. The stinky tofu would not have sold well if not for the family's reputation.

Song Yi was nervous when he went to town to sell stinky tofu for the first time. Although he knew how delicious it was because he had eaten a few pieces at the Su family's house in the afternoon, the townsfolk would not know.

He feared the townsfolk would not eat stinky tofu because of its smell. Even if the first 20 customers could try it for free, it did not mean they would be willing.

Song Yi was most worried about being unable to sell the stinky tofu and let Su Binglan down. He would feel humiliated about receiving his salary if that were the case. Nonetheless, he did not expect the business to be so good.

Song Yi's hands moved even more quickly as he continued. He typically helped his parents cook at home. Therefore, he could fry, add seasoning, and collect money simultaneously.

Su Wenwu wanted to continue helping, but Song Yi said, "Wenwu, let me learn how to do this alone so that I can master it faster."

Su Wenwu knew his friend's words made sense. After all, Su Wenwu was only there to help that afternoon. After that, Song Yi would have to sell stinky tofu independently.

Although there were many customers, and Song Yi was busy, he worked smilingly.

"Young man, I'd like to order a big serving. Can you split them into separate bags for my two grandsons?

"Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment. I will be ready shortly," Song Yi said confidently. He kept the copper coins he received from the customer while continuing to fry more stinky tofu..

Song Yi could fry a few stinky tofu at once and add spicy or non-spicy seasoning afterward. Everyone in town knew what spiciness was and would choose the spicy or non-spicy seasonings according to their taste.

Since stinky tofu was easy to make, the townsfolk would quickly get their orders even if they were to line up. Everyone happily at their stinky tofu with joyful expressions.

"It's very delicious." @@novelbin@@

"I told you there's nothing the Su family makes that isn't good."

"Fortunately, we didn't hesitate and quickly lined up at the beginning. Because of that, we had an extra skewer for free."

"Stinky tofu tastes unique compared to other food, so I bought a few more for my family to try."

Su Wenwu and Song Yi were delighted to see the business being successful. Song Yi knew he would earn more the more business he received. Therefore, he felt more energized if he was as busy as possible.

Su Binglan went to the temporary embroidery shop in the afternoon to bring the backpacks, handbags, and rag dolls to town. Everyone was already learning to knit when she arrived.

They first learned to twist the wool before knitting sweaters, and everyone

Ads by Pubfuture was thrilled after learning how to knit.

"I didn't know there was such a way to make clothes."

No one present knew how to weave, mainly because it was troublesome, and not everyone could get the hang of it. Sewing machines were also highly costly.

However, knitting sweaters with two sticks was relatively straightforward as there were only a few steps to it. The workers would learn it after just a little practice.

Moreover, everyone thought that this method of weaving was fascinating. The workers enjoyed making backpacks and handbags in the beginning. Later, they had fun making rag dolls, but now they liked knitting sweaters.

Everyone felt they had learned a lot while at the temporary embroidery shop. They knew Su Binglan would bring the things they made to the shops in town, so they all helped her pack.

Su Binglan tied a carriage to her horse and packed the things before heading to town. Next to the hotpot restaurant on the east side of town was a shop Su Binglan had bought two days ago.

When Su Binglan arrived in town and stopped at the haggis soup shop, she entered and called Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin out.

The two of them looked at Su Binglan in puzzlement. However, they knew she had something to say when they saw her carriage. Liu Yinyin reacted quicker than her husband as she anxiously looked at Su Binglan. "Is there something you need us to do, Binglan?"

Liu Yinyin had long wanted to work under Su Binglan.

Su Binglan asked, "Have you already hired more workers for your shop?"

She remembered Liu Yinyin hiring her uncle's brother and sister-in-law. Su Binglan had seen them working in the shop before, and Liu Yinyin's uncle and sister-in-law looked honest and straightforward.

Liu Yinyih said excitedly, "Don't worry, Binglan. Your brother and I only manage the shop occasionally, especially since we have little to do. My family members can handle the shop, and we can trust them. Wenzhe and I have free time now and don't have to stay here for long."

She remembered Su Binglan telling Su Wenzhe and her to work hard so that she could arrange for other things for the couple to do. That was why Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe wanted to hire more workers.

Hiring ones own family was more reassuring than hiring others. Besides, they knew each others' backgrounds and could also help their family.

Su Binglan nodded and said, "Then you two can get on the carriage. I'll bring you to the east side of town to help me look after an accessory store."

The couple happily smiled when they heard that and quickly got onto the carriage. Immediately after, Su Binglan rode her horse to the east with the carriage in tow.

It was even more lively when they arrived at the east. However, there was one street where Su Binglan had bought two shops. One was the hotpot restaurant, and the other was an accessory store.

"Since the hotpot restaurant needed a smoke pipe, renovating it took a lot of work. However, the construction team handled it in a few days, and I officially opened the hotpot restaurant."

The couple listened to Su Binglan's explanation and finally understood what was happening.

Su Wenzhe exclaimed, "Little Sister! I only knew you bought a two-story building for the restaurant. I didn't expect you to buy another shop. When did you buy it?"

He looked at the second floor and felt the shop was huge.

"Two days ago," Su Binglan replied. After opening the shop, she asked Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin to help her move things. Afterward, Su Binglan opened the bag, took the things inside, and placed them on the table.

The items had price labels so they would not have to bargain, making selling much more convenient. Then Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe would have an easier time running the store.

If someone wanted to buy a doll or school bag, they could pay at the front desk. It was similar to the dessert shop's business model.

Su Binglan had asked Lin Zheng and the other two to work at the dessert shop to train them as management talents.

Liu Yinyin was astounded when she saw what Su Binglan had placed on the table. "Binglan, are these the items your embroiderers made?"

She had guessed it had something to do with embroidery, but she did not expect it to be such things. She knew about backpacks because Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai usually carried those to school.

However, she had never seen a handbag or a rag doll. She thought they were beautiful.

Su Binglan explained, "You're right. The embroiderers can make many things.

They not only embroider but also make handicrafts and accessories."

Li Yinyin touched a rag doll and pinched it despite herself. "Binglan, many people will like these things. Even I like them very much."

Su Wenzhe liked the items, too, but he controlled himself. He felt it was not suitable for a man to like such things. He told his wife, "Be careful not to ruin it. "

Liu Yinyin returned to her senses. After all, it was her instinctive reaction to pinch the doll. After hearing her husband's voice, she put the doll back on the table.

Su Binglan said, "That's okay. You won't ruin it since the workers made them from rags, cotton, and wheat husks. It's just that some of these are lighter in color and can quickly get dirty.

"Don't let the customers touch them too much when they visit the store. Tell them to wash their hands at the sink at the side. Then they can look at the items as they wish, even touch them."

"Yup, I'll remember to do that, Little Sister." Su Wenzhe nodded.

Su Binglan gave the couple a few more instructions and opened the accessory store in a low-profile manner. However, Su Wenzhe felt puzzled and asked,

"Aren't we going to promote the store, Little Sister?"

Even he knew how to use his sister's methods when starting a business. He Imew he had to promote the store before opening.

"There's no need," Su Binglan said, "It's okay, even if it's a low-key opening. The hotpot restaurant will be opening in a few days, so the customers will naturally see the accessory store when they come to the restaurant. The business will be better if more people come to the store.."

That was why Su Binglan opened her accessory store there. She used the hotpot restaurant's foot traffic to drive the stores business. She believed the

items in the store would be popular in no time.

Since no such items existed in this era, it was a novel experience for many people, especially since more visitors like business people came to Teng He town from other places.

Since the visitors could not bring certain foods back, they would bring home items from the accessory store as souvenirs. Su Binglan believed the backpacks, handbags, and rag dolls would become local specialties.

'It's nice to give these items as gifts.'

Of course, Su Binglan did not expect many people to visit the accessory store that afternoon. Since it was on the east side of town and more people were there, they would walk past the street on regular days.

The townsfolk could not help themselves and checked if the hotpot restaurant was open as they passed by. As they looked, they noticed that the shop beside the hotpot restaurant was open instead. Outside the store was a signboard with the words "Su's Accessories."

No one knew what it was, but after seeing the Su branding, some could not help but go in to take a look. Everyone was amazed when they saw what was inside, especially the women and children.

The children did not want to leave when they saw the rag dolls, wailing and begging their parents to buy them. Fortunately, the store sold cheap and expensive dolls so everyone could buy one according to their budget.

Ads by Pubfuture The adults liked the dolls, too, and they would buy one for their children if their conditions allowed it. Some were obviously from wealthier families with many children, so they bought a few at a time. That was because some dolls were cheap, and the smaller ones were only two copper coins each.

Meanwhile, the madams and young ladies of wealthy families liked the gorgeous-looking handbags. They picked their favorite patterns, carried the handbags, and felt them. Most ended up buying at least one handbag before leaving.

However, some visitors came from low-income families and lived frugally, so they could only quietly leave after looking around the store. Still, they thought they would buy their desired handbag when they had money.

The handbags were practical and good-looking. One could even carry them when one went to buy small things. The primary purpose of carrying a handbag was to exude dignity.

Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin did not expect the store to receive many customers so soon. Su Binglan saw that her brother and sister-in-law could handle it, so she did not worry.

Soon, she left the store with the couple and went to the east market. The accessory store was far from the market, so she had to walk awhile.

After turning a corner and entering the market from the east end of town, she saw many people from a distance, gathering before a stall to line up. Su

Binglan saw the food cart and knew Su Wenwu and Song Yi were selling stinky tofu.

She was surprised to see so many people buying stinky tofu.

"It hasn't even been an afternoon, and the stinky tofu is already so popular?" She muttered.

Su Binglan thought everyone would avoid the cart after smelling the strange fragrance. Still, Su Wenwu and Song Yi followed her instructions and gave the first 20 customers a free sample each.

She knew the townsfolk would find the stinky tofu delicious if they tried it at least once. As time went on, the stinky tofu business would improve. That was what she had imagined.

However, she never expected the stinky tofu to be so popular right from the start. The townsfolk no longer thought the smell was strange.

"I'll take a big order. I bought a small one for my wife to eat. She didn't want it initially, but after finally trying it, she said it was delicious and insisted I buy her a big order."

"Hahaha, my kid likes it too. I'm lining up for a second time now." @@novelbin@@

"My neighbor told me how delicious stinky tofu is and that it has the Su branding. That's why I rushed here to buy one and try it.

Su Binglan brightly smiled when she saw this scene.

She did not prepare much stinky tofu for Song Yi this time, but he sold out in just half an afternoon. Many more people wanted to buy it but could not, so Song Yi had no choice but to say, "Everyone can return here tomorrow at noon. I'll have more stinky tofu then."

"Still, you guys should come earlier. There might be nothing left if you're late." Song Yi did not expect to sell out in such a short amount of time. He had initially planned to return to Su Teng Village to get more stinky tofu to sell.

However, Su Wenwu said, "My sister told us we don't have to sell so much yet.

Since we've run out of stock, let's put the cart in the hotpot restaurant's

backyard. You should also go home early and rest.

"Also, tell your parents not to worry. Bring this two stinky tofu back for them. Don't argue, okay?"

"All right," Song Yi said. He could not wait to go home and share the good news with his parents. He knew they would be happy if they knew what he had done today.

Su Wenwu thought of something and said, "I told my sister about your father's foot when she was making lunch this afternoon. She says she'll ask my second brother to treat your father. Don't worry about my second brother's medical skills. They're outstanding."

Song Yi believed in Su Wenwu.

After putting the cart away, Song Yi ran home. He was excited to go home and tell his parents about everything. Although Teng He town was far from Northern Mountain Village, Song Yi sprinted home.

It was already evening when he reached home, and the sun was about to set. It would have taken him two hours to walk, but he ran home and arrived in just over an hour.

Mr. Song was arranging pine wood and firewood when his son got home. Meanwhile, Mrs. Song lit the fire for cooking.

The older couple rushed out when they saw their son. "Did you run back, my dear son? Why are you sweating all over?"

Song Yi was panting and wanted to speak but could not. However, Mr. and Mrs. Song knew something good must have happened when they saw their son smiling widely.

Immediately after, Mrs. Song quickly poured him a bowl of water.

After drinking the water and resting briefly, Song Yi said, "Father, Mother, these are for you to eat. Wenwu was right about Su Teng Village doing exceedingly well now. His sister is such a capable person!

"Also, I'm selling stinky tofu on a small dining cart. I'll earn at least 150 coins monthly, and if I sell more, I'll earn more. I sold a lot today. Wenwu told me to bring this stinky tofu home for you to try."

Song Yi told his parents everything that had happened today, no matter how big or small the details were. He could not stop smiling as he spoke.

Mr. and Mrs. Song anxiously awaited Song Yi's return, wanting to know what he was doing in Su Teng Village. The older couple was shocked when they heard his words. They finally returned to their senses after a long while.

Mr. Song sighed with emotion, "I'm glad you met a good friend like Wenwu. You're in for an incredible journey and fortune, my son.

Mr. Song was thrilled. The typically severe and strict older man revealed a proud smile while his wife wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, saying,

"That's great, Song Yi.."

Mrs. Song got choked up because she was too excited and happy.

Song Yi looked at his parents and became misty-eyed. "Our lives will improve soon, Mother and Father. I'll work hard to earn money, so you won't have to trouble yourselves with hard labor anymore."

"You're a good son, Song Yi," Mr. Song said, pleased.

"By the way, someone might be able to heal your foot." That was the most crucial piece of information to the older couple. Mr. and Mrs. Song became even more excited when they heard that.

Su Wenwu had told Song Yi that his second brother could heal Mr. Song's foot, and the family was ecstatic.

Thrilled, Mrs. Song said, "I remember that you love to eat brown sugar steamed buns, so I made some with noodles this afternoon."

Brown sugar was costly, and no one would bear to buy such a thing. However, Mrs. Song recalled her son having a real job now, which could earn him at least 150 coins a month. Therefore, she was willing to make brown sugar steamed buns.

Although she said she had made the steamed buns, she only put a little brown sugar on them, just enough to sweeten them. Still, it was delicious to ordinary farmers.

However, to ordinary farmers, it was already very delicious. They typically could not even bear to eat white steamed buns, let alone with brown sugar on them.

Song Yi was delighted and only ate the steamed buns without having other dishes during dinner. He also gave the stinky tofu to his parents to try.

Mr. and Mrs. Song had never eaten any delicacies before, but they enjoyed the stinky tofu after trying it for the first time. The family ate their dinner happily.

Ads by Pubfuture After walking around town, Su Binglan returned to the accessory store and found it empty. She frowned slightly and asked, "What happened here?"

There was not a single item left in the store. @@novelbin@@

"Binglan, two foreign businessmen came and bought everything in our store," Su Wenzhe explained. He and his wife were in a daze and had yet to return to their senses entirely.

"We had nothing else to do in the store after the businessmen bought everything. Three of them came in one after another, asking about the items. They bought them all shortly after."

Su Binglan was astounded when she heard that. She thought someone had robbed the store but did not expect to sell out of so many items so quickly. She did not even publicize the store, yet the customers had emptied the place.

"That's okay. I don't have any more items to sell for now," Su Binglan said,

"That was all the embroiderers made."

"What if more people ask about the items and want to buy them?"

After some thought, Su Binglan answered, "Although we don't have any more stock, you two can continue looking after the store. I will bring one of each item tomorrow morning.

"When the customers come, tell them to go to Su l s Embroidery Shop in three days to place their orders. They can order their items in advance, and we'll deliver them on time when we finish them."

Su Binglan knew she had to hurry up and make arrangements with the embroiderers.

"All right, Little Sister. Oh, here's the money we earned from selling the items.

I never thought we'd earn so much so quickly."

Work flooded Su Binglan over the next few days as she began hiring large numbers of people to work as embroiderers. This time, she hired not only people from Su Teng Village but also people from neighboring villages.

She also said that the staff dormitories would be ready in a month, and those who lived far away would not have to worry. Of course, the first month would be challenging, but the workers could live in the dormitories soon.

Those who had heard the news came from far and wide for the interview. After all, the nearby villages knew about Su Teng Village.

Everyone went to Su Teng Village before dawn and lined up when they heard Su Binglan would hire people from neighboring villages to work as embroiderers.

When the Su Teng villagers came out for breakfast, they were shocked to see the long queue. Even Mrs. Song had come to line up for the interview.

Meanwhile, business boomed for Song Yi over the past few days. He would typically finish work in the afternoon and run home to have dinner with his parents at night.

Since Song Yi no longer had any other work to do in the morning, he decided to set up the dining cart at noon and finish work early so that he could run back and forth every day.

With that, he could share his experiences and news with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Song was also happy to see their son like this, and the family was the happiest whenever they had dinner together.

Since Song Yi worked for Su Binglan in town, he would hear people discussing things when he went to pick up more stinky tofu to sell.

When he learned that Su Binglan would hire people from other villages to work as embroiderers, he quickly went home to tell his mother about it. Soon after, Song Yi accompanied his mother to the interview before sunrise.

Quite a few people showed up, and everyone was ecstatic.

"I didn't expect Miss Su to hire people from other villages."

"Yeah. That's why we came here early in the morning to line up. We feared the positions would be full if we were late."

"I heard Miss Su pays a lot, and the more we work, the more we'll earn."

"I heard there will be staff dormitories nearby in a month. I don't know what dormitories are, but I'm guessing they're resting places. Those living far away won't need to go home and can sleep in the dormitories instead." "We can apply for a single dormitory if our whole family works here."

"Wow, that's perfect!"

"I wonder if I'll get the embroiderer job." "Yeah, I didn't expect to see so many people."

"Which village are you guys from?

The people got a little bored while lining up, so they chatted. Some said which villages they were from, surprising the others. Those people were too far away from Su Teng Village.

"Even people from that far away came for the interview?

"That's so far. Why did you come all the way here? Also, how did you hear the news about Su Teng Village?

Someone replied smilingly, "We came here to buy rapeseed before. We met Miss Shen when we were getting oil in Northern Song Village. We learned a lot about Su Teng Village from then on. Of course, we came for such an excellent job opportunity."

"My biological family lives here. It'll be more convenient for me to return to them to see my parents and brother if I work as an embroiderer here."

Su Binglan did not expect to see so many people, but she quickly got through the interviews. She registered many people's information and also learned about them.

However, she needed more time to review the information she had gathered from so many people. So, she could only hire them first and review them in detail later.

Su Binglan was shocked when she saw Mrs. Song and noticed that Song Yi had accompanied her. Mrs. Song had never traveled so far, and Song Yi feared his mother would get tired and faint. Hence, he brought her to Su Teng Village just before sunrise.

Su Binglan said, "Mrs. Song, you can go to the temporary embroidery shop and look for my Aunt Ding."

Su Binglan liked hiring people who knew her background. She knew how Song

Yi was, and his mother was good, too. Su Binglan could tell at a glance that Mrs. Song was honest, so she would feel at ease if someone like Mrs. Song worked at the embroidery shop. Song Yi and his mother were stunned.

'W-What?'

The mother-son duo was initially nervous. Still, the duo did not expect the interview to be over just like that..
