The people queueing behind Song Yi and his mother were shocked when they heard what Su Binglan said.

“Who is she? Why did Miss Su hire her so quickly?” “Did she even go through the interview?” “I thought we had to wait to hear back from Miss Su.”

Everyone looked at Mrs. Song enviously.

“Not only is the salary for an embroiderer high but there are also bonuses.”

“I heard the environment and atmosphere at the newly built embroidery shop are excellent.”

“There will also be a dormitory beside the embroidery shop.”

“Yeah, those who live far away can rest there at night.”

“I heard they’ll add a cafeteria there in the future.”

The people in line were eager to work at the embroidery shop because of those benefits.

Song Yi and his mother were shocked. Song Yi asked lowly, “Is that true, Miss Su? Can my mother work as an embroiderer?”

He wanted to make sure he had heard correctly. Many competitive people had lined up for the interview, including young women and others from surrounding villages.

Ads by Pubfuture Mrs. Song only came for the interview in hopes of getting the job. She did not expect to pass the interview so quickly.

Su Binglan smiled. “Of course, you’re my third brother’s close friend, so I won’t have to worry. Your mother said she knows needlework and is very hardworking. Since that’s the case, I won’t feel scared about hiring your mother to work at the embroidery shop.”

The mother-son duo understood that such an incredible opportunity had fallen into their laps because Song Yi was Su Wenwu’s close friend.

“Don’t worry, Miss Su. I will do my best,” Mrs. Song said. She was ecstatic, and her heart pounded.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan had brought Dong Xiaolei and Su Nong as assistants. If she hired anyone directly, the two young girls would bring the new workers to the newly built embroidery shop.

Su Binglan told Dong Xiaolei, “Please bring Mrs. Song to the embroidery shop to report in.” “Yes, Miss Su!”

Su Binglan was responsible for the interviews and left Ding Wan in charge of the embroidery shop. After all, Ding Wan knew more about the embroidery business than her niece did. Therefore, Su Binglan felt at ease letting her aunt take care of everything.

Just like that, Su Binglan went through the interviews while immediately hiring some people. She had to do that because many people had ordered products from the accessory store. With that, the embroidery shop had to make new items hurriedly.

However, Su Binglan also wanted to hire people with good character to work as embroiderers. That way, there would not be any problems, no matter how big the embroidery shop got.

Ding Wan watched as Dong Xiaolei and Su Nong brought people over and registered their information individually. Then she assigned the new workers to work under Sun Damin, Zhou Wen’e, and the others.

Those were the first few people Ding Wan hired at the beginning. Now, they were responsible for teaching the new workers on the team. Ding Wan would then divide them into groups after they learned proper embroidery.

That way, the leader of each group would be responsible for managing their workers. It created organization and regulations, making it harder for complications to arise.

Su Binglan had busied herself with the embroidery shop these past few days while the hotpot restaurant in the east of town also opened. The hotpot restaurant was under the charge of Su Wenwu, so Su Binglan could rest assured.

A few days after setting up the embroidery shop, Ding Wan saw her niece and said happily, “Binglan, come to my house for lunch today.”

“That’s okay, Aunt Ding. I can just go home for lunch.”

Ding Wan explained, “The Taos from Willow Village have just finished making the wine pots and jars. They’ve sent the items, so your uncle and cousin are excited to tell you about it.”

Su Binglan raised her eyebrows when she heard that. She had almost forgotten about the winemaking idea she had. Still, the winery was under construction and would be ready soon.

“Are Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian excited to brew wine?” Su Binglan chuckled.

Ding Wan laughed. “I can’t hide your uncle and cousin’s excitement from you.

It’s good that the Taos sent them the wine jars and pots. Fengzhang and

Wenxian thought of trying to make wine when the Taos sent the items over. We didn’t expect them to come so soon.”

Su Binglan nodded. “Okay then. I’ll come to your place and discuss winemaking with Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian.”

She had entrusted her eldest uncle with the winemaking and had informed Tao Zhenggang to prepare the pots and jars to deliver to Su Fengzhang.

Still, the winery was under construction, but it would not be long until it was

ready.

Ding Wan could not stop smiling when she heard that. “Your uncle and cousin will be thrilled to see you.”

Immediately after, Su Binglan followed her aunt to her house. When the duo entered the courtyard, Su Binglan saw the father and son carrying a big pot. The smaller jars were on the side, too.

Su Binglan looked at the pots and jars, saying, “They’re well-made.”

Ads by Pubfuture

The pots and jars looked exquisite. Moreover, the father and son could use them to store wine.

Su Binglan looked at the small jars, and a light bulb flashed in her mind. She suddenly thought of several exquisite wine bottle designs.

‘I can ask the Taos to make bottles according to specific shapes.’

Su Fengzhang said, “We know how good the Taos’ craftsmanship is. The jars they made will have no issues, no matter how long we use them. They’re also robust. The outside of these pots also looks smooth and shiny. They look gorgeous.”

Su Fengzhang recalled Tao Zhenggang and his eldest son delivering the pots and jars. He said, “Zhenggang and his wife have called their two sons home to make pottery together. Dayong looks like a steady and dutiful son. It’s a pity his ex-wife doesn’t know how good he is.”

Su Fengzhang knew everything about the Taos.

Ding Wan knew the trio would continue discussing such things during lunch. She said, “That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Good families will always be willing to marry their daughters to Dayong. Now that the Taos are doing well, everything else will improve.”

With that, she looked at Su Wenxian and added, “You must find a virtuous girl to marry.”

“Of course, Mother and Father. I’ll always listen to you,” Su Wenxian said, blushing.

It was the parents’ order and the matchmaker’s words at this time. However, Su Fengzhang and Ding Wan were more open-minded than most. They liked each other when they were young, so the older couple hoped their son would also find someone who liked him so that he could live a stable life.

Soon after, they started discussing winemaking. After all, Su Fengzhang and his son were bored at home and wanted a job. Su Binglan said, “I’ll teach you to make wine now, Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian.”

“While you’re busy with that, I’ll cook,” Ding Wan said.

“Binglan,” Su Fengzhang said, “We’ve prepared the things you asked us to.”

Su Binglan said, “The winemaking process is rather complicated, but I’ll briefly explain the steps first, and then we’ll do it step by step.”

She explained the simple steps to the father-son duo, and everyone got to work. After washing the rice, Su Binglan put it in a sieve and then boiled some water. Soon after, she put the rice into the pot to cook when the water started bubbling.

She would add more water if the rice and water ratio were one-to-one. After putting the rice into the pot, she had to stir it, or it would stick.

When Su Binglan almost finished cooking the rice, she said, “Uncle Fengzhang, remove some firewood from the furnace. @@novelbin@@

“All right,” he said.

Since Ding Wan’s house had two woks, and she used one to cook lunch, her husband and son used the other to brew rice wine..

Su Binglan kept an eye on the rice in the pot. After cooking the rice, she told Su Fengzhang to remove all the firewood from the furnace to stop heating the stove.

He removed the broken pieces of firewood, but embers were still on them. Ding Wan was worried about the fire, so she quickly put the broken wood into the furnace of the stove she was cooking on.

“Why did you do that?” Ding Wan said, “You could’ve just poured water on it, silly.”

Su Fengzhang smacked his forehead. “Ah, I’m such a fool. Why didn’t I think of that?”

Meanwhile, Su Binglan continued watching the rice pot. When it cooled down, she placed the things into the wine jar. She would proceed to the next step when the temperature was about right.

After a while, she fermented the things into a jar. The fermentation process would take about one to two months. However, Su Binglan had used her spiritual spring water, so the time would be shorter. It might not even take a month, but they could only distill it after fermentation.

Every step was meticulous and cumbersome, yet Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian watched and learned earnestly. They had a simple lunch at noon and had been busy the whole afternoon.

While the trio did this, Su Binglan thought it would be great if there were grapes she could use to make wine. Still, she could also use wild fruits to make wine.

She thought of the wild fruits that were a gift from a foreign businessman who came to buy tofu products. Most who ordered tofu from the factory would also bring along some of their local specialties.

Ads by Pubfuture She remembered receiving a basket of fruits from one of them. She thought of using them to make wine and headed straight home to get the fruits.

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian followed her to peel and core the fruit before cutting the skins into pieces. After that, she added the cut fruits into the pot and submerged them in water to boil.

After brewing, the fruit wine would have to sit for three months before one could drink it. Winemaking was typically a long process, but the spiritual spring water would shorten the time.

As such, Su Binglan wanted to brew as much as possible first. She could brew it before the end of the year and sell it then.

‘During the New Year, Uncle Fengzhang can drink his own brewed wine. My father and brothers will be thrilled, too.’ Su Binglan revealed a bright smile at the thought of this.

After lunch, Ding Wan went to the embroidery shop to work while her niece was busy with her uncle and cousin for half the afternoon. @@novelbin@@

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian had memorized the winemaking steps and could make wine on their own.

Su Binglan said, “Just keep brewing wine like this, Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian. I’ll soon teach you to distill it.”

The distillation process was also a crucial step. Then the father-son duo’s wine would be more fragrant and mellow with just a few more steps.

“All right,” Su Fengzhang said.

He and his son felt fulfilled that afternoon because they had learned to make wine. Although the steps were complex, the duo remembered them all.

It was good that they had prepared everything Su Binglan had requested. Otherwise, they would have taken the entire afternoon to finish.

“Uncle Fengzhang, Cousin Wenxian, you can make more wine since it takes a long time to ferment. If you make more wine, you can drink it in about two months.”

Su Fengzhang chuckled. “I think so too. Wine is good, so we should make more.

But we won’t have enough jars if we do that.”

The duo planned to make wine daily, but fortunately for them, Su Binglan had a lot of grain in her pocket dimension. Moreover, the rice harvest this autumn was considerably higher than usual. Therefore, they could use the rice to make wine.

Moreover, Su Binglan had a lot more silver with her, so she could use it to buy more rice for winemaking.

She said, “Don’t worry. I’ll go to the Taos and ask them to make more pots and jars. I’ve put a lot of rice in my family’s warehouse. I’ll tell my parents to bring some over later. We’ll need more rice in the future if we make more wine. If so, we can buy grain from the surrounding villages.”

Fortunately, many Su Teng villages, including those in surrounding villages, had exchanged rice seeds with the Su family. The yield would be higher if they used the Su family’s rice seeds to grow grain in spring.

By then, the villagers could save some rice and sell the rest. Su Binglan could also buy the villagers’ extra rice at market price.

Su Wenxian said, “If that’s the case, we’ll have to thank you.”

‘Thank me?’

Su Wenxian noticed his cousin’s puzzled expression and added, “You don’t know how difficult it is to sell harvested crops in autumn, Cousin Binglan. Some came here to collect grain at low prices. Most can’t even sell their grain for much.

“Some pick grains and push their harvests several miles away to sell just a few pounds. The buyers typically come up with various bargaining reasons to get lower prices, saying the sellers didn’t clean the rice or the quality is poor. The buyers will sometimes work together on this.

“Although the price of grain will be low, the sellers will have no choice but to sell. If not, the prices will go even lower if the sellers don’t sell their grains as soon as possible.

“Most sellers just want to earn money by selling their grains. Then their families will have better lives. Besides, they still have to buy things for the New Year,” Su Wenxian’s heart grew heavy as he spoke about this.

He hoped to help more people, but his abilities were limited. In the past, he and his father could not help Ding Wan. However, Su Wenxian felt energized now that he was working with his cousin because he could help others while helping himself.

He enjoyed this feeling and felt he was also doing something meaningful.

Su Binglan suddenly realized what her cousin was talking about. “So, that’s how it is.’

After all, her parents did not let her work in the past, so she did not know what it was like when they sold crops.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Uncle Fengzhang, Cousin Wenxian, our winery will be huge. You two can make more wine and buy more rice from the villages at a fair price if we don’t have enough.

“We’ll hire more people to help when I get someone to build the winery. Still, you two must keep the winemaking recipe and methods to yourselves. The future workers will only know one step for each section, like an assembly line.

We’ll hire all men this time.”

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian got excited when they heard her words.

“Don’t worry, Binglan,” Su Fengzhang said, “We’ll do our best.”

“The men in the village can stop worrying about being idle now,” Su Wenxian said happily, “The men in the village are restless since the tofu factory and embroidery shop only hire women. The men want to work, too. Soon, they can work in the winery.”

Su Binglan said, “Of course. Still, you must only hire those who are diligent.”

She would not directly involve herself in the winery’s hiring process. Instead, she entrusted her uncle and cousin to handle it.

“Naturally.” Su Fengzhang nodded..

Su Binglan told Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian some more things to take note of and then returned home. After getting home, she designed some wine jars and bottles in new styles. After all, holding wine in such things would look unique.

After completing the designs, she left straight for Willow Village. Many villagers on the streets immediately recognized her.

“It’s Miss Su.”

“Miss Su!”

That was because a few Willow Villages had visited Su Teng Village a few days ago for the embroidery shop interview. Everyone enthusiastically greeted her, and she smiled at them.

She still wanted to hire people from Willow Village and Stone Village, mainly because the two villages were close to Su Teng Village. After all, the workers would have to travel back and forth when they started working at the embroidery shop.

The workers could only stay at the dormitories when the construction team finished building them.

Su Binglan had considered this aspect when hiring. Since the embroidery shop was huge, she could hire more people later. However, she could only hire a portion of them for now. She would hire more people when the embroidery shop was on the right track.

If not, there would be too many people to manage simultaneously, and Ding Wan would get overwhelmed. Of course, many people still made orders for the embroidery shop.

Still, Su Binglan could not take too many orders because she was too busy. She knew the items the embroidery shop made would be popular, but she did not expect them to sell out so quickly.

People had already wanted to order their items in bulk on the opening day. However, rushing out the required backpacks, handbags, rag dolls, and sweaters would take time.

Everyone saw Su Binglan walking toward the Taos’ workshop and could not help but start discussing it.

“Does the Taos’ workshop now belong to Miss Su?”

Ads by Pubfuture “I heard Miss Su saved the Taos’ and even paid off the pine wood they owed. She even bought the Tao family’s workshop.

“No wonder Zhenggang called his two sons back from the docks some time ago. The family even went to town and bought many things. Miss Su was the one who helped solve their problems.”

“I wondered why Zhenggang suddenly put up a sign at his workshop with the words Su’s Pottery on it.”

“Someone saw the Taos delivering goods to Su Teng Village this morning. The Taos made massive pots and jars, but I don’t know what they’re for.”

“Don’t worry about what happened. At least the Taos’ days are improving now.

Miss Li smiles more often, too. Miss Su is such a good person.”

“I agree. My second daughter started working as an embroiderer and said it’s progressing well. She also told me her team leader would guide her if she didn’t know how to do something. They teach her step by step and are very patient.

“She says the working environment there is excellent, and she has made many friends. Everyone is helping and learning from each other.”

“Granny Wang’s granddaughter also works at the embroidery shop now. The quieter people are more willing to talk now, even though they’ve only worked there for a few days. Also, only girls work at the embroidery shop.”

“All right, let’s go home before it gets dark. It’s good that more than ten people from our village got the embroidery job. Everyone can return here together after work.’

Everyone discussed the pottery shop and the embroidery shop.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan took her designs to the pottery workshop. Tao Zhenggang, Miss Li, and their two sons were tidying up the pine wood when Su Binglan arrived.

Although they had completed Su Binglan’s order, the family did not slack off and continued preparing for their next order. Then they could immediately start working should Su Binglan or others order more things.

Tao Zhenggang and his family had been living average lives during this period. They were constantly together and could have three daily meals now. They no longer felt pressured, and the whole family smiled as they made pottery.

Pottery was a craft, and the Taos were delighted they could make a living with their skills. In particular, the family no longer had burdens and would not feel tired. They could even sleep well these days.

Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong cherished their current life of earning more money at home. They only learned how good it was to sleep well and eat homemade food after suffering, working hard in the cold, and constantly feeling hungry.

Moreover, the two boys no longer had to miss their parents and their home since they lived together harmoniously. The two boys could work with their parents and earn money as a family.

Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong would talk and laugh with their parents daily. It was a happy and harmonious time for them. It was no longer as depressing as it was in the past.

The entire family was ecstatic when they saw Su Binglan.

“Miss Su is here!” Miss Li looked at Su Binglan and quickly stood up.

“Miss Su!” Tao Zhenggang was also very respectful toward Su Binglan. “Hello, Miss Su!” Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong looked at the young lady and awkwardly stood there. That was their first meeting with the young lady, so they felt she had a noble and powerful aura when they saw her.

“Everyone, please sit down. There’s no need to be so formal.” Su Binglan smiled.

She looked at Tao Zhenggang and said, “I’ve seen all the jars and pots you’ve made, and I am pleased with their quality.”

Tao Zhenggang said in embarrassment, “Miss Su, you’re too kind!”

Although he said that, he was ecstatic and thrilled to be praised by Su Binglan. He twiddled his thumbs and did not know where to put his hands. All he could think about was Su Binglan’s praise. @@novelbin@@

Miss Li went to pour some water for the young lady and said, “Dayong and

Eryong helped us a bunch, too.”

Su Binglan had heard that Tao Dayong was 18 while Tao Eryong was only 14. She looked at Tao Dayong and felt he was calm and good-looking. Of course, she had also heard about his ex-wife leaving him.

She said, “They look like fine gentlemen, Miss Li.”

“Aw, you’re too kind, Miss Su. Indeed, my two sons are dutiful and sensible.”

Miss Li hoped the young lady would notice her two sons. After all, she wanted Tao Dayong and Tao Eryong to continue working for Su Binglan in the future. Then she would not have to worry about anything, especially since Su Binglan was kind.

Su Binglan smiled. “Miss Li, our workshop will be bigger than this in the future as we expand. When that time comes, your two sons can be our managers.”

Miss Li became even more excited when she heard that. “Thank you so much, Miss Su. They would still work at the docks if it weren’t for you. I couldn’t help but worry about them in the past.”

She became scared just thinking of that. She would not have known how hard it was if her sons did not return to tell her. To Miss Li, Su Binglan had saved her family and became their benefactor..

Su Binglan consoled Miss Li, “You no longer have to worry since your family will only work at the pottery workshop from now on. I’ll also hire more people when it gets too busy.

“We’ll need more bottles and jars when I build the winery. Then we’ll hire more people, and your family will be the masters to apprentices. You will manage the workers then, increasing your wages and bonuses.”

Miss Li became teary-eyed when she heard this. “You’re our benefactor, Miss Su.”

Mice Miss Li was not exaggerating when she said this, as she knew what it felt like before and what kind of life she could live now. Now, her sons could eat home-cooked meals and sleep on warm beds, not to mention being by their parents’ sides. @@novelbin@@

Miss Li no longer needed to worry about anything since her family could live peacefully. Now that the family had money, Miss Li would make arrangements to find her eldest son a good wife.

Since Tao Eryong was still young, Miss Li could save some silver for him in advance. She could also build a big house for her two sons. Then they could have comfortable lives when they married and had children.

Miss Li was more confident now than in the past.

Su Binglan waved. “I was just helping, so there’s no need to be so polite, Miss

Li. Yours and your family’s lives will improve.”

“Yes, Miss Su, we feel at ease when we do things with you.”

After chatting, Su Binglan revealed her designs, saying, “I came here to discuss these wine jars and bottles with you.

Tao Zhenggang looked at the drawings and was amazed. When he saw the drawings, he understood what Su Binglan wanted. However, he still doubted and asked, “Miss Su, do you want us to make these long, thin bottles? But it will have too little wine if it’s so small.

Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan said, “That’s okay. Just make the bottles according to the drawing. The second drawing is of small wine glasses. But if you use another kind of clay to make more beautiful cups, you can heat them at higher temperatures.”

She then explained the difference between clay and porcelain. Tao Dayong, in particular, listened more carefully when she spoke. He was more talented than his father in pottery and quickly picked up the skill.

Tao Zhenggang did not have to teach his eldest son much, and Tao Dayong would naturally do the right thing.

Tao Dayong listened attentively and asked, “What kind of clay are you talking about, Miss Su?”

Su Binglan took out a small bag of soil, saying, “This is what I found when I passed by the foot of the mountain behind your village. You can make porcelain if you use this soil and burn it at a higher temperature.

“Porcelain will look more beautiful and shinier on the surface than clay. You’ll know when you try it.”

When she visited the Taos this time, she initially only wanted them to make what she had drawn. However, she had stumbled upon the mountain topsoil and told them about it. As for whether or not the family could use it would still depend on the Taos’ craft.

Tao Dayong’s eyes lit up as he looked at the soil and listened to Su Binglan’s explanation. He wanted to make more beautiful cups and things. His eyes shined passionately.

“Miss Su, we’ll study it carefully,” Miss Li said earnestly.

Su Binglan said, “No pressure. I’m giving you a heads-up, so just continue working as before. Work at 7 a.m., rest for lunch, and continue until dinner at 6

p.m. You can work for five days and rest for two.

“I don’t want you all to tire yourselves out. I will rearrange your work and hire more people when I need more things.”

The Taos felt touched that Su Binglan let them rest so much, even though she paid them a lot. Still, the Taos wanted to work hard.

Then Su Binglan left after giving some more instructions.

Time passed quickly, and winter arrived in the blink of an eye. The north wind howled, and everyone could feel the coldness of winter.

The people had nothing to do then, so no one would be shopping. Instead, they would stay in the warm confines of home. Everyone was worried about heavy snow when winter came.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan wanted to harvest the soybeans before it started snowing. She had bought 50 acres of land to plant soybeans, and they had ripened now.

However, the Su family was too busy to collect these soybeans. Therefore, Su Fengmao went to find Chief Su. Just like when Chief Su announced the rapeseed harvesting in the early spring, he hired strong men in the village to harvest the soybeans.

Since it was frigid during the winter and much colder than in autumn, Chief Su paid the villagers three coins a day. As soon as he announced that he was looking for workers, the villagers enthusiastically signed up.

Chief Su arranged for some to harvest the soybeans. There was strength in numbers, and everyone worked hard. The workers harvested 50 acres worth of soybean in just two days.

Luckily, Su Binglan had built a big house with a warehouse to store grain.

There was a large granary the family could use to store these soybeans. Otherwise, they would not have been able to store so many at once.

Still, the family had to store some soybeans in the tofu factory. The factory had enough soybeans to last a long time. Su Binglan also planned to plant more soybeans when spring came so the factory would not run out.

Su’s Embroidery became famous in the surrounding towns and villages during this period. Many people worked at the embroidery shop and received their wages and bonuses.

Everyone was thrilled when they received their bonuses. Some ran home to share the good news with their families. Since earning their money, they improved their families’ living conditions.

The business at Su’s Embroidery went excellently as merchants from far and wide asked about it and went to the shop to place their orders. The merchants who visited the shop did not look like they were just talking about business. Instead, they were polite to Su Binglan.

They knew how popular her items were in their local area. As long as the merchants purchase goods here, Su’s Embroidery would make a lot of money. The shop sold novelty items, and everyone liked them, whether the elderly, younguns, or children.

Su Binglan could see many people carrying backpacks and handbags when she walked around. People had grown accustomed to carrying these things whenever they went out, as it made things more convenient.

“Miss Su, we’d like to order another batch of goods. Don’t worry. I’ve brought the deposit.”

The merchants were warm and sincere toward Su Binglan. However, they feared she would say she had run out of stock.

“M-Miss Su, I was here first and am a regular customer. I’d like to order more items, please.”

“Me too. I’ve been waiting in line for a long time, Miss Su.”

Su Binglan noticed everyone’s eagerness and anxiousness, so she thought of expanding Su’s Embroidery and hiring more people..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Binglan looked at everyone’s orders and calculated inwardly. She could deliver their goods within a month if she expanded her production scale. Hence, she still accepted orders.

The customers heaved a sigh of relief when she accepted their orders. After all, she had a good reputation, so everyone felt assured doing business with her.

Of course, Su Binglan would also consider one’s character when choosing a business partner. She would not cooperate with any businessperson with a lousy character and specialized in scamming others.

Therefore, the people placing orders at Su’s Embroidery had good reputations and integrity. Also, since these merchants had placed their orders, they would make back a lot of money after returning to their respective villages and selling their orders.

After all, Su’s Embroidery provided new and exciting items these merchants did not have in their place. Even if there were a few imitations, the items would not be so good-looking.

Someone had tried poaching people from the embroidery shop, but no one bit the bait, no matter how high the pay was. The workers knew that person wanted to poach them because the workers could make high-quality backpacks, handbags, and rag dolls.

Still, Su’s Embroidery continuously released new and exciting items. If the workers went to the poacher and could not learn new things, they would have no value.

The poachers were of no worth to the embroidery shop workers. After all, Su Binglan paid them monthly salaries and bonuses, not to mention a staff dormitory to live in.

The bright workers knew they had to work in Su’s Embroidery, nowhere else. Moreover, Su’s Embroidery always introduced new patterns designed by Su Binglan. No one else could think of such gorgeous designs.

In addition, Su Binglan was the one who hired the workers. That was why they had such an excellent working environment.

The workers brought home their wages and bonuses they had previously received, much more than one silver tael a month. They never expected to earn that much.

Initially, they would be delighted if they even got sixty copper coins a month. They did not expect to get paid more if they worked more. The workers also received some of the embroidery shop’s overall income and even more bonuses. @@novelbin@@

Ads by Pubfuture When the workers brought their hard-earned money home, their families would be thrilled. Moreover, the workers knew how capable Su Binglan was, so they worked harder for her.

Everyone was loyal to Su Binglan. Also, they had heard that she would open a winery soon. With that, she would probably need to hire more people. The workers hoped their family members could work there.

Take Song Yi, for example. Since he worked for Su Binglan, he brought his mother to Su Binglan when she was hiring more workers for Su’s Embroidery. Su Binglan hired Mrs. Song on the spot.

The workers understood she would hire their family members if they performed well at the embroidery shop.

Of course, Song Yi no longer sold stinky tofu in town since a long time had passed. Now he was a manager at the tofu factory and was only responsible for delivering goods.

That was also because many people had ordered stinky tofu from the factory and set up stalls in several places to sell. Those people even bought their dining carts from Su Binglan.

Nonetheless, Song Yi had been doing an excellent job with Su Binglan and had become a manager. People had also heard that his salary and bonus had increased.

Since quite some time had passed, people heard that Song Yi had gotten with a girl who worked at the factory.

She was a good girl from Su Teng Village named Liu Qiao, whose family was well-to-do and literate. Su Binglan had also chosen her as the factory’s first manager.

Mr. and Mrs. Song were delighted with Liu Qiao. After all, anyone from Su Teng Village who worked with Su Binglan would make anyone’s parents feel satisfied and at ease.

Everyone knew Su Binglan would look at one’s ability and character when hiring people. She would only hire those with excellent character. She would instantly fire those who created problems, too.

Therefore, most parents would use this judging method instead of asking around when marrying off their children.

After settling the orders with the merchants, Su Binglan left her office and went to look for Ding Wan. Su Binglan had included an office when designing the embroidery shop.

Ding Wan currently managed the embroidery shop and was very busy. However, she did not have to worry about everything and was only responsible for explaining things to group leaders. The leaders would then relay her explanations to their group members.

It would be much more convenient this way.

Ding Wan smiled when she saw Su Binglan. “Hello, Binglan.”

Su Binglan asked, “Aunt Ding, have you prepared the wedding gift for Zhizhi?”

Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen’s wedding was coming up, so they had many things to prepare. Su Binglan had said she wanted to prepare some embroideries and told Ding Wan to prepare them in advance.

“Yeah, they’re ready,” Ding Wan said, “Including the screen and fan. I embroidered those two, but the others made the boxes, bags, and other things.

“Everyone was shocked after they embroidered the things you wanted. They said the wedding items looked too good. Some even asked how much a set like this costs. They wanted to come to the shop to customize these things for their family’s wedding.”

Ding Wan had already learned double-sided embroidery. When she embroidered a big red screen on both sides, everyone in the embroidery shop was stunned. They could feel the festive atmosphere just by looking at the screen.

The screen’s design was gorgeous, and they had never seen something so beautiful. They knew Su Binglan had personally designed the items, and Ding Wan embroidered them based on her niece’s designs.

The workers knew how talented Su Binglan was. One could sell her drawings for a high price. However, they also knew she never drew or painted for money and had only built the embroidery shop to help everyone else get rich.

Nonetheless, Ding Wan brought the things over as she spoke. Su Binglan looked at the beautiful items and smiled brightly. “I’ll send these things to my grandmother’s house today.

“Your grandmother will be delighted to see these,” Ding Wan said smilingly, “That’s for Zhizhi.’

Since Miao Zhizhi had no relatives, Old Madam Su handled everything for her. Still, everyone else also prepared many things so that Miao Zhizhi could feel welcome. They all wanted her to feel the warmth of home.

“Oh right, we also made this down duvet. We made it from duck and goose feathers, as you had mentioned. It’s especially light. There’s also this set of sweaters and trousers, which we prepared for Zhizhi,” Ding Wan said.

She genuinely liked the down duvet they had made. She touched it carefully and gently as she spoke. The workers were the ones who made the down duvet.

Su Binglan looked on and smiled. “Zhizhi will be thrilled to see this.”

The Su family had already treated Miao Zhizhi as family. Therefore, everyone sincerely prepared things for her and Su Fengchen.

“Aunt Ding, we’ll start making these down duvets after Zhizhi and Uncle Fengchen’s wedding. Then our family’s house will have these things. The winter cold with these down duvets won’t be so harsh,” Su Binglan said..

Su Binglan knew the duvets everyone used in the past winters were not made of good quality cotton. That was because high-quality cotton duvets were expensive.

The people’s duvets were made of old cotton, and they used them for many years. Even though the duvet was heavy, it was still frigid in winter. Sometimes it would be so cold even the water in the tank would freeze.

Therefore, no one would go out when it was freezing outside. Sometimes, it even snowed heavily. However, based on Su Binglan’s memory, this place was like a fairy tale when it was snowy. It was full of beautiful snow.

Meanwhile, Ding Wan doubted and asked, “This duvet is so thin, Binglan. Are you sure it can keep people warm?”

She was still in disbelief. ‘How can such a thin duvet keep someone warm?’ Still, Ding Wan finally understood why her niece had told the workers to collect duck and goose feathers, wash, and dry them when she made the down duvet.

‘So, those were for making these duvets.’

Fortunately, Su Fengchen often made grilled chicken and roast duck, which were in high demand. He made plenty of them daily, so Su Binglan’s workers could collect the feathers.

The embroiderers could make many duvets according to Su Binglan’s method. She also said they could use the feathers to make thicker clothes. Ding Wan was confused, but she felt her niece was right.

For example, sweaters were trendy now, and foreigners came to buy them, not to mention the townsfolk of Teng He Town. Everyone agreed that wearing a sweater kept them warm. Even a thin layer would suffice.

People would not feel constrained whenever they wore sweaters to work, either. Otherwise, they could not stretch their arms to work if they wore too much.

Since it was colder in the north, most foreigners who ordered sweaters were from there. Sometimes, it would not be enough if one simply wore thick clothes. Hence, wearing a sweater would help tremendously.

However, sweaters were quite expensive. The cheapest set would cost more than ten coins, and some even cost dozens. Even so, the merchants ordered plenty because they were mostly wealthy people. Those from prominent and influential families would especially buy more things.

The merchants were hurrying to place orders because they had insufficient stock to sell. They had to hurry back to their local area to deliver sweaters as many madams of wealthy families urgently needed them.

Ads by Pubfuture Therefore, the merchants hoped Su Binglan would get her embroiderers to make these sweaters quickly.

It would be easy to imitate handbags, backpacks, and rag dolls, but it was hard to imitate sweaters. No one would do it. However, even if one were to imitate the rag dolls, they would be of an old style and not look as good as Su-branded products. @@novelbin@@

Everything had the Su branding, and the young madams and ladies of wealthy families only set their eyes on Su’s items.

Su Binglan knew her aunt doubted that the duvet was too light as she felt no weight in her hands. It was not like the blankets everyone wore now, which felt hefty.

Su Binglan softly explained, “I promise it’ll feel warmer, Aunt Ding. You’ll know what I mean when you make the duvet and use it yourself.” “I believe you, Binglan. I can’t wait to cover myself with a duvet.”

Su Binglan’s eyes were full of anticipation.

‘Binglan’s research is excellent.’

Then Ding Wan took her niece to see all the items they had prepared for the wedding. Su Binglanw was amazed, “Aunt Ding, your embroidery skills are unrivaled.

Ding Wan’s embroidery was exquisite, and her niece could not stop praising her. Ding Wan had grown accustomed to people saying that, but she felt thrilled when her niece said it.

“I couldn’t have embroidered these things if it weren’t for the techniques you taught me,” Ding Wan could not stop smiling as she spoke of this.

She managed the embroidery shop because she wanted to help her niece and was passionate about embroidering. Ding Wan especially liked researching new embroidery techniques.

Whoever saw her these days would praise her for her excellent embroidery skills. Ding Wan was genuinely delighted to hear it. She knew she had a life goal and direction and felt accomplished.

She suddenly thought of something and said, “Your uncle also wants to ask if the wine you brewed would be ready after over a month.

“Also, the winery construction is completed, right? When will they start making wine? Your uncle and cousin are eager to work, so they asked me to ask you these things.”

Ding Wan laughed despite herself when she thought of her husband and son. Now, the father-son duo had something to do as they made wine daily and had made several pots over the past month. Still, it would take at least one to two months for wine to ferment.

“Aunt Ding, the construction team completed the winery two days ago,” Su

Binglan said, “I plan to hire people after Uncle Fengchen and Zhizhi’s wedding. Then we can officially open the winery.”

“When that time comes, Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian will be managers. However, the first wine we brewed together has fermented for over a month. I’ll go and take a look soon.”

Indeed, there was a fermentation period, but Su Binglan used spiritual spring water, so she guessed it would have shortened the time needed for the wine to ferment.

After talking with her aunt, Su Binglan left Su’s Embroidery and prepared to go to Ding Wan’s house to check on the wine.

Since it was winter, not many people were outside. However, the Su Teng villagers were enthusiastic when they saw Su Binglan. “It’s cold today, Miss Su. You should wear thicker clothes.”

“Thank you, Aunt Liu.”

“Miss Su, did you just return from the embroidery shop?”

“Yes, Granny Li. I just went to the embroidery shop to check on things.”

Su Binglan would respond and smile back whenever people greeted her. Still, only a few people were outside, and she saw Song Yi along the way, driving an oxcart out of the village.

Song Yi immediately got down from the oxcart when he saw Su Binglan. He said respectfully, “Hello, Miss Sul”

Song Yi was grateful to Su Binglan. His family’s living conditions had improved exponentially because of her. He had earned two silver taels last month, and his mother had earned one.

This month’s earnings were comparable to his family’s in several years. Life at home for the Song family was good now.

Su Wenxiu had cured Mr. Song’s foot. Mr. Song had been restless at home,

Su Wenxiu had also cured Mr. Song’s foot, and Mr. Song had been restless at home, saying that he also wanted to apply for a job when Su Binglan were to open another shop and hire men this time.

‘I met Liu Qiao, thanks to Miss Su. That’s because Miss Su had opened her factory, and Liu Qiao works there as a manager. I got to know Liu Qiao because I collect and deliver goods for the factory.’

The couple was business students who worked under Su Binglan. They received monthly salaries, and both the couple’s families were satisfied. Mr. and Mrs. Song said they would go to Liu Qiao’s house to propose a marriage between the two before New Year.

Song Yi’s heart felt warm as he thought of that. Su Binglan nodded and smiled. “Are you going to deliver goods?”

“Yes, it’s time to deliver the goods to everyone..”

Song Yi no longer had to set up the stinky tofu stall. Not long after he started selling stinky tofu, sales started booming, and it became everyone’s favorite snack.

Sometimes, people could not even buy stinky tofu if they wanted to. Many had asked Song Yi about it. There would be a long line every day when he pushed the cart.

Many foreigners visited Teng He Town but sometimes missed out on buying stinky tofu. They were unlike the local townsfolk and had traveled by boat to get to town and would often only have one to two days of rest.

Su Binglan knew how famous stinky tofu was, so she thought of another way to sell it. She hired people to sell it, but the workers did not work directly under her.

Instead, she wanted people to be franchisees and use the name Su’s Stinky Tofu. She intended for them to use her methods of making and selling stinky tofu.

The franchisees would need to spend money to buy tofu pudding at the start, and then they would earn their money back with profit. Still, the franchisees would get their tofu pudding at the original price.

Su Binglan had a second option to teach the franchisees the cooking method for free while providing small dining carts per franchisee. Then they would buy tofu pudding and give 20% of their earnings to Su Binglan.

Most chose the second option. Of course, Su Binglan would not allow just anyone to become a franchisee. She only allowed five people to sell stinky tofu under her brand.

Two franchisees were in the neighboring town, and the other three were in Teng He Town. These three people had good characters, so Su Binglan allowed them to be her business partners.

Over the past month, a young couple had made plenty of money selling stinky tofu with Su Binglan’s second option. They still made a lot even after deducting the 20% and costs.

The couple was grateful to Su Binglan. They would not be where they were if it were not for her. Although the couple had gotten busier, they could still earn

money.

Moreover, they could pack up when it was dark. The couple was full of smiles whenever they saw the long line of customers as they could earn more if they got more patrons.

Ads by Pubfuture Nonetheless, Song Yi was responsible for delivering goods to the five franchisees. He was no longer as tired since he did not have to set up a stall to sell stinky tofu. He only had to deliver goods now. Furthermore, Song Yi had much more free time while earning money.

Although uneducated and illiterate, Liu Qiao’s parents liked his job. He also worked under Su Binglan, had free time to care for his parents, and did not delay his house duties. Moreover, Song Yi was truly dutiful and treated Liu Qiao exceedingly well.

Mrs. Song also worked in Su’s Embroidery, earning quite a bit monthly. Since Mr. and Mrs. Song only had one son, Mrs. Song kept the money she had earned for Song Yi.

Liu Qiao’s parents were satisfied with this and were willing to let their daughter be with Song Yi. Otherwise, Liu Qiao’s parents could have been arrogant because their daughter was literate and sensible.

Also, her family had a good reputation, and her brother had studied in a private school for a few years. Moreover, the family was from Su Teng Village, and Liu Qiao was a manager at the tofu factory.

They had been considering finding Liu Qiao, an excellent family to marry into. Her parents were satisfied when they saw Song Yi and silently agreed they should be together.

They were just waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Song to come and propose marriage. However, Mr. and Mrs. Song wanted to save more money to have confidence when they proposed marriage.

Su Binglan smiled. “Okay. It’s getting cold, so go home and rest after delivering the goods.”

Song Yi had plenty of free time and would only be busy briefly every day. He would typically go home to see his father whenever he finished work and sometimes brought lunch to his mother.

The oxcart he used belonged to Su Binglan, which he only used to transport goods to the stinky tofu stalls.

“Yes, Miss Su!”

Su Binglan went to Ding Wan’s house shortly after. The father and son were busy making wine when she arrived. They followed her instructions and made wine daily. Therefore, they had two large pots of fermenting wine.

The duo did not know if their method was correct, but they trusted Su Binglan and followed her instructions.

Su Fengzhang said happily, “Binglan is here.”

He stirred the rice in the pot while Su Wenxian controlled the fire. Su Binglan asked, “Are you making more wine, Uncle Fengzhang?”

“Yes, we’ve been brewing wine according to your instructions.”

The duo only thought about the wine’s sweet taste whenever they made it. Su Binglan was capable, and the duo always felt the wine they made based on her methods was more delicious.

Su Fengzhang could imagine how the wine would taste whenever he looked at the enormous jars he had stored them in. They were a little intoxicating, even just looking at them. He immersed himself in the joy of winemaking.

‘When the people around us drink the wine we brewed, they will praise it endlessly. I know it’ll be good.’

Many images would automatically flash through his and his son’s minds. Their imaginations had become more vivid ever since they started making wine.

Su Binglan went in and washed her hands before helping out. After fermenting the wine in the pots, she said, “The wine we first made together might’ve finished its fermentation, Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian. Where should we put it to see if it’s good?”

Su Fengzhang’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “It’s in the house on the west side. Let’s go. I’ll bring you in to take a look.”

After going in, Su Binglan saw many large, corked pots inside. “Are these pots filled with brewed wine?”

Su Wenxian answered, “Yes, these are the wines my father and I brewed.”

Su Binglan would occasionally visit Ding Wan’s house to check on things over the past month to check on things and give the duo some pointers on winemaking.

However, she had never been to the house in the west, so she did not expect to see so much brewed wine. She carefully walked over and looked at the pots.

“There are time stamps on them?”

“Father said we’ll know which wine we brewed on what day if we write down the time.”

Su Binglan laughed. “You’re very attentive, Uncle Fengzhang. As expected, I’m most relieved to leave the winemaking matters to you and your son.”

Su Fengzhang was a little embarrassed as he said, “I-It’s nothing. I like to drink, so it’s exciting to make wine. I want to drink the wine I made, after all.”

Su Binglan leaned close to the jar and sniffed it, saying, “Uncle Fengzhang, come and smell it. It should be close to its final stages, so we’ll start the distillation process later.”

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were puzzled. A potent fragrance spread out when Su Binglan opened the cork.

Su Wenxian took a whiff and said, “The smell of wine is so good.” @@novelbin@@

Su Fengzhang looked intoxicated when he smelled it. He looked at the wine in the jar and became excited. ‘W-We genuinely brewed our own wine..’

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were so excited they became misty-eyed. The father-son duo stared at the wine jar and sniffed it, unable to look away. It smelled even better than the wine they had drunk before.

Su Wenxian took a deep breath of the wine’s aroma and suddenly thought of something. “Right, we made fruit wine, too.”

The duo opened the fruit wine jar beside them and sniffed again. It smelled different from rice wine as it was sweeter.

Su Fengzhang enjoyed drinking wine and had drunk plenty of it before. As he smelled the fruit wine’s fragrance, he repeatedly exclaimed, “I’ve never seen or smelled wine like this. It smells fruity, but I wonder what it tastes like. It must be delicious.’

He and his son felt thirsty after taking in the fragrance and gulped their saliva despite themselves. They felt they were too greedy because the wine’s aroma was simply too enticing. The duo felt like they had not drunk for a long time.

Su Binglan laughed as she looked at her uncle and cousin. She understood them very well. Her father and three brothers would probably similarly react if they were here.

Very few ordinary families could afford wine in this era. Only those slightly better off would be willing to buy some during the holidays. Still, they could not buy good-quality wine as they could only afford those that could satisfy their cravings.

“Get a cup and drink some, Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian,” Su Binglan said smilingly.

The duo could not wait to try the wine when they heard the young lady’s words. Meanwhile, Su Binglan felt her spiritual spring water would make the wine taste different.

‘The wine must be extra fragrant because of the spiritual spring water.’

Su Fengzhang and his son could not contain their excitement as they scooped some wine into their cups with a spoon before sipping it. They were amazed after taking just a sip.

Su Fengzhang lowered his head and looked at the wine, forgetting to move. He was in disbelief and needed to appreciate what he had just drunk.

‘I drank the wine we brewed ourselves.’

Ads by Pubfuture He did not know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt the wine’s fragrance and deliciousness. It was much better than the wine he had bought in the past.

“Father, why does it taste so good? Did we honestly just brew this?”

‘Is there something wrong here? I’m not hallucinating, right?’

Su Wenxian was too excited as he looked at his father with bright eyes. The corner of Su Fengzhang’s lips twitched, saying, “Son, you took the words right out of my mouth.”

Su Binglan looked at her uncle and cousin smilingly, then took a spoonful of wine to taste. She raised her brows and nodded despite herself. “Wow, it tastes excellent!”

‘It’s much better than the pot of wine a customer had gifted my father last time. Jin’an even said that the wine was of above-average quality. So that means the wine we brewed must be at least the same quality.’

Su Wenxian took a few more sips and said excitedly, “So, I was right. I did drink some good-quality wine. We brewed it ourselves, so we must be proud of it.”

He barely knew how to express his feelings. He now understood why his mother was so passionate about embroidering, as the items she made looked good and gave her a sense of accomplishment.

“Binglan?” Su Fengzhang asked, “Does this mean we can start selling our wine?”

Su Binglan answered, “We need to add a few more steps. After that, the wine will taste even better.”

‘Even better?’ Su Fengzhang was stunned. @@novelbin@@

‘I figured the wine is good enough, and I’m ecstatic about it, but Binglan says it can be even better. It’s too unreal.’

The duo had difficulty returning to their senses as they were too excited, and their minds went blank.

Su Binglan looked at the two but did not laugh. Instead, she asked directly, “Uncle Fengzhang, Cousin Wenxian, have you prepared the things I asked for the filtration and distillation?”

Su Fengzhang returned to his senses when he heard his niece’s question and said, “I’ve prepared everything as you requested, Binlan. I’ll go and get them.” “I’ll help,” Su Wenxian hurriedly said.

The father and son had placed the things in a storage room, and after taking them out, Su Binglan taught them how to filter and purify the wine.

The wine they had made was more mellow yet rich, and the duo watched Su Binglan’s actions earnestly. They also remembered every step and detail she told them to purify the wine they had brewed.

After a few more steps, the wine became more fragrant and mellow.

“Wow, that’s good!” Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian could not describe their current feelings.

Su Binglan said, “Cousin Wenxian, take those small wine jars and pack them up. Then send one to Granduncle Su, Grandpa Su, and my family.”

The duo quickly went to take the jars, poured some wine into them, and sealed them. Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian also gave some wine to Su Zhengde and Su Fengzhi.

Su Binglan could have given the wine to her father, but it was still the afternoon, and Su Fengmao was still at the tofu factory.

Su Binglan knew her family would drink that night, so she had to prepare good food. Her second brother was busy working in the herb field when she brought the wine home, and he could smell it.

“That smells like wine, Little Sister. Did you buy it?” Su Wenxiu was so excited that he followed the wine’s fragrance from the backyard to the living room.

He had not drunk for a long time, but doctors could not drink alcohol. That was the first rule his sister gave him when he became a doctor, and he knew about it.

‘I can at least smell it, right?’ He thought while smirking.

Su Binglan said, “This is the wine Uncle Fengzhang, Cousin Wenxian, and I brewed ourselves. It tastes better than the wine we buy outside.”

Su Wenxiu’s eyes widened in surprise. However, he remembered his sister saying she wanted to open a winery. He thought the winery should be ready by now.

He had been obsessed with medicine lately and had not bothered with what was happening around him. Moreover, Su Binglan was no longer giving consultations, as Su Wenxiu had taken over while his apprentices helped.

Of course, he was a bit slower when giving consultations, but his medical skills were excellent. He would only ask his sister for help if he faced a complex illness he could not treat.

Su Wenxiu had even healed Mr. Song’s severely injured foot and made a name for himself after the surgery. Everyone believed in his medical skills now. Plus, the medicines he prescribed his patients were highly effective.

Su Binglan looked at Su Wenxiu with a raised eyebrow. She asked, “Do you want to drink, too, Second Brother?”

Su Wenxiu noticed his sister’s sarcasm and quickly said, “I know the precautions you mentioned. As a doctor, I can no longer drink alcohol..”

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Wenxiu genuinely believed so, but he could smell the wine’s rich aroma from the jar his sister held even before she opened it. He felt it was more fragrant than any wine he had drunk.

Su Binglan knew her second brother was being serious. She said, “You can drink some today since we brewed this wine. I’ll watch over you when you drink, but you can’t see any patients until you’re sober.”

Since there were no doctors in the surrounding villages and Hundred Herbs Hospital was closed at night, those feeling unwell would have to visit Su Wenxiu.

That was why Su Binglan was apprehensive about letting him drink. Still, she only allowed him to drink tonight because her brothers and father would be drinking too.

Many men liked to drink, especially in that era. They would even consider it a hobby. Whenever one visited relatives, it was customary to have good wine to entertain one’s guests. However, wine was too expensive, and only a few ordinary people could afford it.

Su Wenxiu’s heart jolted, and he was ecstatic when he heard his sister’s words.

“Can I truly drink tonight, Little Sister?”

He had to abide by some principles since he was a doctor. He suspected he had misheard, but his sister was usually earnest whenever she spoke.

“You can drink since I said so, but no more after this, okay?” Su Binglan said, “Still, I’ll make you other drinks since you like these things. Those won’t have alcohol, yet they will be equally delicious, and you won’t get drunk.”

“You’re so good to me, Little Sister,” Su Wenxiu said, touched.

Su Binglan put the wine down and walked back out. She said, “I still have to bring wine to Grandfather and the others.

Ads by Pubfuture She had prepared to leave and send a jar to her grandfather when she noticed all her neighbors had come out. She was surprised because very few would be willing to come out on a cold day like this.

Everyone stuck their heads out, trying to look into Su Fengzhang’s house, but his door was closed, and they could not see inside. The neighbors would naturally discuss things whenever they gathered.

“Do you guys smell something?”

“You can smell it too, huh? Why else would we come out on such a cold day?” “Hahaha, I smell the potent fragrance of wine, too.”

“I’d heard that Fengzhang’s family was making wine, but I didn’t think it was real. I didn’t think they would genuinely make it.”

Although everyone believed in Su Binglan’s ability, they were still suspicious because one could not brew wine simply because one wanted to. Wine would typically have recipes passed down through generations.

However, everyone realized the Su family was severe about winemaking after Su Binglan built the winery. The villagers could not help but come out to discuss it when they smelled the wine’s aroma.

Everyone was still discussing wine when Su Binglan went over. Someone asked her enthusiastically, “Miss Su, did your eldest uncle manage to make wine?”

The villagers were honest and spoke their minds. Since they had asked sincerely, Su Binglan would answer honestly, “That’s right, Uncle Liu. My uncle and cousin have made wine and will sell it soon. You can buy some and try it if you like wine. It’s not expensive, either.”

Many Su Teng villagers’ living conditions had improved exponentially because most of their women worked at the tofu factory or the embroidery shop. The women would receive monthly pay and bonuses to improve their families’ lives so that they could afford to buy things on regular days.

“Miss Su must be telling the truth. My wife and daughter are working as embroiderers, and thanks to her, we can afford some wine.

Everyone trusted Su Binglan when she said the wine would not be expensive. That meant the villagers could afford it.

Su Binglan had also asked the Taos to make small bottles so that Su Fengzhang could store and sell wine. Of course, it also made buying wine much more convenient for the villagers as they could split it.

In other words, foreigners would like these bottles if they wanted to gift wine to others. They could also pour their wine into cups if they wanted to drink it themselves.

“Yeah, someone in my family works at the factory and gets paid, so our lives are much better now. We’re planning to buy more things just before the New

Year.”

“Hahaha, that’s what everyone’s thinking.”

Su Binglan was delighted to see everyone smiling. She felt the villagers were different from before, as their smiles revealed that they were hopeful.

She thought of something and said, “Oh, we’ll open the winery in a few days, and we’ll be hiring, but tell everyone I’ll only hire men this time.”

She had to tell everyone about it in a few days, so she thought it was a good time to tell them now. After all, the news would not take long to spread throughout Su Teng Village.

Of course, she believed the people from surrounding villages would also hear about this in less than a day as they would ask about Su Teng Village occasionally.

Everyone was shocked when they heard her words. The tofu factory and embroidery shop would only hire women. Even Su Fengchen asked women to help with his grilled chicken and roast duck.

The village men were idle and yearned to make money like the women in their families. However, Su Binglan only hired women to work. Therefore, the men became ecstatic when they heard she would hire men to work at the winery.

“Miss Su, did we mishear you?”

Su Binglan looked at everyone’s disbelieving expressions and smiled. “You didn’t mishear me. It’s true. I’ll make a specific notice in a few days, and my granduncle will announce it to everyone then.”

She typically discussed these things with Chief Su, and then he would notify the villagers so everyone would know the announcement was genuine.

Everyone revealed bright smiles when they heard her words. @@novelbin@@

“That’s perfect, Miss Su! We’ve wanted to work with you for a long time now.” “We’ll all work hard and take it seriously, regardless of whether you’ll hire us.” “Yes, I can imagine working at the winery and smelling wine daily. Hahaha.”

“I heard the tofu factory workers get discounts when buying tofu, and the embroiderers get discounts when buying things from their shop. I wonder if we’ll get discounts if we work at the winery. What do they call it? An employee discount?”

No one would understand such terms in the past. Not only did they understand them now, but they also knew to use such terms in complete sentences..

Su Binglan did not expect the villagers to know so much. They probably knew more about the benefits of the tofu factory and embroidery shop than she did. She smiled and nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”

“We must apply for the job when your winery opens, Miss Su.”

Su Binglan smiled and nodded again. After all, the winery would need a lot of help making and storing wine. She also planned to make milk tea in the future. She wanted to sell rice wine, fruit wine, and milk tea the winery would make to various places.

Su Fengzhang returned from sending wine to Old Master Su and Su Zhengde earlier as everyone was excitedly discussing this. Everyone was happy when he went to deliver their wine as they typically could not drink such things. They were even happier when they heard Su Binglan had helped make the wine.

Su Fengzhang opened his door after exchanging a few words with his neighbors, and everyone dispersed shortly after.

Although they were neighbors and had no bad intentions, it was impolite to loiter in front of Su Zhengde’s house. Some went home, while others ran to other villages as they had relatives living there. They wanted to tell their relatives about the new job opportunity.

These people could only see each other during New Year’s and other festivals, but their family members had frequently been visiting lately and even brought things with them.

They knew they had to tell their relatives to apply quickly since Su Binglan from Su Teng Village would hire people soon. Su Binglan had emphasized it many times, and the villagers remembered it and rushed to their relatives’ houses as soon as they got the news.

Su Binglan went to her grandparents’ house shortly after. Old Madam Su and Old Master Su would be living with their youngest son in the future, as he was about to get married. They had also expanded their previous house.

It was a bit small last time, but they had a vast open space outside, so the two bought the open space to expand their house. @@novelbin@@

The house now had eight rooms. They had also made the house bigger to make it more convenient for making grilled chicken, roast duck, and preserved and salted eggs.

The family could not do all their work alone and had to hire a few women from the village to help. The house was too small and busy last time, but no longer, as they had made it more prominent. They had even made a room to store the birds’ feathers Su Binglan needed.

When Su Binglan brought the wine over, she could feel how spacious the new house was and how vast the courtyard was.

Ads by Pubfuture Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, Su Fengchen, and Miao Zhizhi would work in the courtyard in the past, but winter had arrived, so they worked inside instead.

Two of the eight rooms were large, so the family used them to make the grilled chicken and roast duck.

However, Old Master Su and his wife took a break from making grilled chicken and roast duck as they were busy preparing for the wedding that would happen in three days.

“Let’s prepare everything we can so that we won’t have to rush on that day,” Old Madam Su said, “We’re only inviting the Su family, so we must arrange eight tables.”

Although her life was better now, Old Madam Su did not like being too extravagant and wasteful.

“We’ll invite the Su family, my maternal family, your uncles, nephews, and nieces. We’ll have eight tables, and each table will have ten people. Also…” Old

Madam Su would explain some details, and her husband would add on while Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi listened.

The young couple was a little nervous. Su Fengchen was still a kid when his three brothers married, so he did not know what to prioritize or pay attention to when planning his wedding.

However, his parents helped him, and he remembered everything. Miao Zhizhi would smile from time to time as she listened to the older couple.

Old Madam Su was still talking when Su Binglan entered. “Hello, everyone.”

Su Binglan had started calling Miao Zhizhi “Aunt Zhizhi” since she and Su Fengcheng got engaged. Miao Zhizhi liked it when Su Binglan called her that, as it made her feel like a member of the Su family.

Everyone stopped talking and stood up when they saw Su Binglan. “It’s such a cold day. Why did you come here, Binglan?”

Su Binglan revealed the wine jar and answered, “I came bearing wine for

Grandpa and Uncle Fengchen.”

Old Master Su could not conceal his smile when he heard the word ‘wine.’ “I wondered why it smelled so good. The wine you brought must be of high quality, then.”

Su Fengchen was delighted as well. He was not a fan of wine, so he would only drink a little because of its fragrance.

Su Binglan placed the wine jar on the table and said, “Grandpa, this is the wine we brewed ourselves. It smells good, doesn’t it? You and Uncle Fengchen should have a good drink tonight.”

“Then we should eat good food to go along with the wine,” Old Master Su said,

“We’ll make more food for dinner, and we expect you to stay for some.” “I can just go home for dinner, Grandpa.”

“Why are you being so shy with me? We should call Fengzhang, your father, and Fengzhi to drink with us.”

Su Binglan explained, “I’ve already sent them some wine, even to Granduncle Su’s side. You don’t have to worry about them, Grandpa. I plan to use our own brand of wine to entertain the guests during Uncle Fengchen’s wedding. We don’t even need to buy any.”

“Binglan,” Su Fengchen said, “I can’t let you spend so much money. I’ll buy it from you.”

He felt his niece had already prepared too many highly costly things for his wedding and felt apologetic.

However, Su Binglan said thoughtfully, “You’re treating me like a stranger,

Uncle Fengchen. As your niece, I should prepare some gifts for your wedding. Also, it’s such a happy occasion, and I’m happy to prepare these things for you.”

Old Madam Su said, “Having a precious granddaughter like you is perfect. Your grandfather and I were considering what wine to buy. We prepared some things in advance but didn’t prepare any wine.

“Your mother said you had brewed wine, so I’m curious about how good your wine is. Since you made some, your grandfather and I no longer have to buy wine. We’ll gladly use your wine for your uncle’s wedding.”

Su Binglan laughed, “That’s good, Grandma. We can let everyone have a taste of our wine.”

Su Binglan had only come to deliver wine, but her grandparents had warmly invited her to stay for dinner, and she accepted.

She looked around the wedding area and thought the layout was simple. Then she asked Su Fengchen for some red paper and started folding some decorative ornaments, like many little stars, and strung them up.

“Uncle Fengchen, I’ll make you a portiere.” Su Binglan folded paper cranes, stars, and heart shapes and strung them together to make a portiere.

Everyone watched her fold these things but did not know what exactly she was doing. Still, they thought they looked gorgeous.

Su Binglan’s hands were nimble, and she did this quickly. She had already made a beautiful red portiere as dinner time arrived..
