If Su Binglan looked closely, she could see a faint blue light lingering around Luo Jin’an’s body.
‘There seems to be a little more spiritual energy in his body.’
Even she thought the change was miraculous. However, she did not find it strange because the Purple Spirit Ginseng was not an ordinary medicinal herb but a spiritual one. Traditional herbs could not compare to the medical effects of spiritual herbs.
Meanwhile, the eagle followed Su Binglan and stood quietly beside her. Its eyes widened with puzzlement and surprise when it sensed the blue light emanating from Luo Jin’an’s body.
Su Binglan sighed in relief when she saw that her husband was okay. Then she asked the eagle, “Can you do me a favor? 1 need you to deliver a letter to someone for me.’
She thought it would probably take a few days for Blue Two and the others to deliver the news to her brother, even if they rode at full speed. However, the eagle could deliver the news to Lan Ruozhu in a day or two.
The eagle understood Su Binglan’s words and nodded.
Then Su Binglan drew a map and said, “Look, this is where we are now, and that’s Su Teng Village. It’s in the south of us. You can reach there by flying south. Help me send this letter to my brother.”
She wrote her letter in code. Then it would be useless if someone else somehow managed to get the letter before Lan Ruozhu.
Ads by Pubfuture The eagle raised its talons when it noticed Su Binglan had finished writing. It seemed like it was telling the young lady to tie her letter to its leg.
Su Binglan thought the eagle looked adorable and could not help but laugh.
“Thank you.”
The eagle rubbed its head against Su Binglan’s hand, and the young lady tied her letter to its leg. Then the eagle looked at Su Binglan and flew toward the sky.
Su Binglan looked up until she could no longer see the eagle before returning to her room.
Time slowly passed, and Luo Jin’an opened his eyes when dawn broke.
Su Binglan, standing guard beside him, excitedly asked, “How are you feeling? Better?”
She had just checked her husband’s pulse and found that most of the cold poison had disappeared, with only a small portion remaining. It was no longer a threat to Luo Jin’an.
Su Binglan could fully cure her husband of the poison only when the Purple Spirit Ginseng grew and matured in her pocket dimension.
Luo Jin’an felt his internal energy had recovered and knew he could use force now. Moreover, his internal energy was more abundant than before. He was thrilled when he noticed the changes in his body.
However, he had grown accustomed to controlling his emotions and appeared calm. Still, he could not help but hug his wife, saying, “Bing, thank you.”
Su Binglan leaned against his chest and felt his strong heartbeat. She knew he was happy. “We’re husband and wife, so you don’t have to thank me.”
Ads by Pubfuture “All right.” Luo Jin’an did not know how to express his gratitude toward his wife, so he embraced her for a while longer before saying, “Let’s go home and help your brother.”
“Okay.” Su Binglan knew how capable her husband was. With him helping Lan Ruozhu, the deceased royal’s mansion could rest easy.
The young couple set off immediately, but Luo Jin’an remembered that the eagle was by his bed before he took the medicine. He wondered why the eagle was not there when he woke up.
“l told the eagle to deliver the letter for me. If it gets the news to Brother quicker than the others, Brother can make preparations sooner. I believe it’ll be faster than Blue Two and the others.
Su Binglan did not expect to find a spiritual eagle when she looked for the
Purple Spirit Ginseng. Delivering messages with an eagle than a pigeon was much more convenient. After all, killing a pigeon and not an eagle was easier.
Luo Jin’an nodded. “That’s good. We must hurry, but before that, I’ll assemble a hundred-man team.’
Su Binglan was stunned. ‘EA hundred-man team?”
“Yes, they’re from the Wei family.”
“Wasn’t it three years ago…” Su Binglan wanted to ask Luo Jin’an something but could not open her mouth.
Luo Jin’an understood what her wife intended to ask and explained, “These members of the Wei didn’t participate in the war three years ago. We sent them to handle other tasks.
“Although some had gotten injured and had to retreat to recuperate, they survived. Theyve long recovered from their injuries and live at the border.”

“Let’s allow them to continue living peacefully instead of sending them to the battlefield.” Su Binglan shook her head.
The Wei family army had 100,000 soldiers, but over 100 survived. Su Binglan could guess how important these 100 people were to her husband. Therefore, she thought he would want them to live everyday lives instead of going to war.
Luo Jin’an knew what Su Binglan was worried about, so he softly said, “They’ve always wanted to fight. They’re living on for the 100,000 soldiers who gave their lives for them, so they want to revive the Wei family army.
Don’t worry. Also, we must protect the people of the mansion.”
Afterward, Luo Jin’an gathered hundreds of people at breakneck speed.
When everyone received the signal, the people hiding in various places excitedly put down their things and rushed to the Heishan Village. A blacksmith saw the signal and was so excited that he became teary-eyed. @@novelbin@@
“Master has summoned us!” The blacksmith threw down his iron pliers and continued, “l can finally go to war.”
He had been waiting for this day, impatient to avenge his family. He wanted to fight and avenge those who had sacrificed their lives for the family.
People living in another village were getting up to cook when they saw the signal. They jumped up and down excitedly. “Quick, Brother! Master has summoned us! Bring your weapons and hurry!’
“l wonder how Master is doing? Since he can’t go to the battlefield, we must help him.”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered in Heishan Village. Luo Jin’an had arranged for these people to hide in various places for their protection.
They could only go into hiding since Luo Jin’an had not summoned them then.
These men used to be formidable on the battlefield and did not want to stay in one place. They only wanted to avenge the Wei family army. Their blood was boiling.
Su Binglan also felt she had to help. She knew some of the people from Heishan Village had to stay behind. She also had to consider the people from Apricot Mountain Village since some of them had gotten injured due to the bandits and could not follow Luo Jin’an to the mansion.
Since these were all of Luo Jin’an’s subordinates, Su Binglan wanted to help and do something for them. She thought there were many business opportunities here, and this place could become an economic and transportation hub.
‘There must be many more precious things in Black Mountain Forest. If the villagers were to collect these things, they could make many delicacies and sell them. There’s also plenty of land for development here.’
Su Binglan had brought plenty of silver and had initially planned to develop this place. However, it was too late..

“Wei Cheng, tell Aunt Song and the others we can open some shops around the border. For example, we can open a dumpling shop specializing in making and selling dumplings.
“We can also set up a stall to sell various pancakes and another for selling noodles.” Su Binglan had taught everyone here to make noodles, so the villagers had a new skill. Since that was the case, they should use it to make a good living.
Everyone needed money, so Luo Jin’an gave them some silver notes. However, silver notes were not enough in places like the border. They still needed to make some things to exchange for food. The villagers here bartered with each other.
Wei Cheng was grateful to Su Binglan when he heard her words. “Thank you,
Madam. I’ll tell everyone about it.”
He did not expect the young lady to think about everyone constantly. He also knew his master wanted to return to Su Teng Village with Su Binglan. Hence, Wei Cheng willingly stayed behind to help his master care for everyone.
Moreover, Wei Cheng possessed excellent medical skills, which could greatly help, especially in these troubled times.
Then Su Binglan took out some of her medicine, saying, “I’ve written the contents on these bottles. Some are for colds, those are for stomach aches, and that’s for headaches.’
She had prepared and packed these medicines in her pocket dimension when she left Su Teng Village to come here. At that moment, she took it out for everyone to use.
That way, anyone with a headache or fever could take the medicine to treat themselves. There was no need to write a prescription and buy medicine. Su Binglan knew Heishao Village was relatively remote, making it inconvenient for its people to buy medication.
Ads by Pubfuture Now that she had given them a steady supply of medicine, the villagers could use them in a time of need.
Wei Cheng was stunned when he looked at the medicine bottles and their contents. “Madam, did you make all this medicine?”
He opened one of the bottles and smelled it. He realized the medicine did not smell bitter, only carrying a slight medicinal fragrance.
Whenever Wei Cheng treated his patients and made medicine for them, he would boil herbs for them to drink. He had never seen pills before. However, he had heard that the earliest members of the Legendary Medicine Valley had invented pills. Still, the pill-making method had gone missing long ago.
Wei Cheng was utterly shocked as he looked at the pills.
To Su Binglan, using medicinal ingredients to make pills was relatively easy, so she could not relate to Wei Chengs shock.
Wei Chengs heart was in turmoil, thinking, ‘Is Madam some god-like genius?! No wonder Master values Madam so much. Madam is a treasure to all of humankind!
‘This is even more exciting than digging up lost treasure. Madam also cured Master’s cold poison.’
Wei Cheng was grateful to Su Binglan and genuinely acknowledged her as a genius. Previously, he respected Su Binglan mostly because his Master told him to, but now, he genuinely respected her.
After all, such a genius like Su Binglan deserved everyone’s respect. Still, just looking at those pills, Wei Chengs admiration for the young lady surged like a river. He felt he should bow and worship her.
Su Binglan said, “Yes, I made those pills. They’re more convenient to store and distribute. Take these and keep them as backups.”
Wei Cheng said lowly, “Madam, I don’t even know how to use medicinal ingredients and turn them into pills.”
Ads by Pubfuture Wei Cheng was too embarrassed to say he wanted to learn these techniques from Su Binglan, primarily because he felt he had discussed too many medical terms with the young lady and learned a lot from her, even though she had only been here for a few days.
Logically speaking, most doctors would not spread their knowledge like Su Binglan. However, Wei Cheng felt he was undeserving to be Su Binglan’s apprentice. After all, the young lady had said that she already had apprentices.
Su Binglan was astonished when she heard Wei Chengs words. She suddenly noticed something when she saw his eager and expectant eyes. Indeed, most doctors in this era did not know how to make pills.
“The most commonly used method is utilizing honey.”
Wei Cheng was confused and did not quite understand her. “What’s that, Madam?”
“Get the herbs according to the prescription first,” Su Binglan patiently explained, “Then crush all the herbs and make them as fine as possible. Afterward, add honey to the herbs and prepare some clean water.
“Next, add the honey and herb mixture into the pot, add the clean water, and boil it. The following steps should be to place the medicinal ingredients into a different pot and stir it over a medium fire.
“Then add the honey mixture into that pot and fold them together. After all that, you will have pills.”
Although Su Binglan made it sound easy, the actual process was not. It required a lot of practice, and Wei Cheng would only become proficient in it after much effort.
Wei Cheng felt enlightened. “So, that’s how you make pills. Thank you,
Madam! Thank you so much!”
“There’s no need to thank me. The process isn’t as simple as it sounds. You need to figure some things out yourself. If you have any questions, you can ask me.’

Su Binglan could not teach Wei Cheng in person since she hurried to set off for the deceased royal’s mansion with Luo Jin’an. @@novelbin@@
Wei Cheng said gratefully, “Thank you for everything, Madam.”
Su Binglan shook her head. “There’s no need for that. You cared for Jin’an previously, but I’ve yet to repay you.”
Wei Cheng was flattered and said, “Taking care of Master was my duty. How can I bear for you to repay me, Madam?”
He felt Su Binglan was approachable. She did not put on airs with anyone and treated them well. Wei Cheng did not know how to thank her for that.
‘We can all rest assured with such a person by Master’s side. I can feel how sincere Madam is toward Master.’
Over a hundred people from different places gathered in Heishao Village after Luo Jin’an sent out the signal. Everyone was stunned when they saw their master standing there with a powerful aura.
They were excited but wondered if their Master had gotten better. They could no longer sense any traces of the cold poison. It was as if the man before had reclaimed his former glory.
These people would feel like they had returned to the past if it were not for Luo Jin’an’s scar reminding them of what had happened three years ago.
Luo Jin’an looked at everyone and said, “My wife has cured me of the cold poison. This time, we will go to the deceased royal’s mansion and protect it.”
Although there were tiny remnants of the cold poison within him, it could not affect him. Furthermore, Su Binglan possessed the Purple Spirit Ginseng. Since Luo Jin’an did not want his people to worry, he told them he no longer had the cold poison within him.
Everyone was ecstatic after hearing the news. Many wanted to shout but were disciplined and stood rooted, facing their master and awaiting his orders.
“Master, we are ready!”
“Excellent,” Luo Jin’an said seriously.
Su Binglan looked at the more than 100 people standing in an orderly formation and saw everyone’s intense fighting spirit. She could not help but sigh with satisfaction.
‘So this is what the feared and mighty Wei family army looks like.’
The Wei family’s army would cause any enemy to tremble in fear. Moreover, the army always defeated their enemies, although outnumbered. They made many legendary achievements in the past, creating history for future generations to learn from.
Not only did the Wei family army rely on Wei Jin’an’s perfect commanding abilities—they also relied on their intense fighting spirit. After all, a potent fighting spirit was the father of formidable strength..

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Jin’an’s expression turned severe. Then he said, “Everyone, split into ten teams and set off from different directions. We will gather outside Dingyang City nearby the deceased royal’s mansion.”
“Yes, sir!”
Everyone immediately split into ten teams and set off, but Luo Jin’an did not. Instead, he asked the remaining people in Heishao Village to collect some branches and stones.
Luo Jin’an then began setting up some things at the village’s entrance. Su Binglan did not understand what her husband planned to do until he finished setting up traps.
“Jin’an, you’re setting traps?”
She noticed the traps looked familiar because they had encountered them in the forest while looking for the Purple Spirit Ginseng. Although the traps looked highly similar, there were minor differences.
Luo Jin’an had modified the traps, making them more deadly than the ones they saw in the forest. He softly said, “Mm, yes, I am. Now the people here will be much safer.’
Although he had sent most of his people to the mansion, the others were not soldiers but the Wei family’s subordinates. These people were not proficient in fighting and could only stay at Heishao Village. Nonetheless, Luo Jin’an still wanted to ensure their safety.
“You know how to set up a protective barrier, huh?”
The traps Luo Jin’an laid out were quite complex. One might not be able to copy it even if one learned it. One must be talented and proficient in trap formations to learn it well.
Ads by Pubfuture However, Su Binglan did not remember her husband learning about traps.
“We saw these formations when we went to look for the Purple Spirit Ginseng in the forest,” Luo Jin’an explained, “Many things about mechanisms and traps came to my mind then.”
Some strange memories appeared in his mind just after eating the medicine his wife had made from the Purple Spirit Ginseng to dispel his cold poison. These memories consisted of mechanisms and trap formations.
Therefore, Luo Jin’an knew how to set up protective formations to keep the people of Heishao Village safe. That way, intruders would have trouble entering the village even though the villagers who were proficient in martial arts were absent.
Even if the intruders tried barging in forcefully, they would fall into these trap formations and die.
After setting up the traps, Luo Jin’an could rest assured when leaving for the mansion.
Su Binglan furrowed her brows when she heard her husbands words.
‘He suddenly regained some memories? Does he have memories of a previous life like how I have mine? Or rather, memories from another soul.’
“Did anything else appear in your mind besides that?” Su Binglan asked.
“No.” Luo Jin’an shook his head.
After setting everything up, he saw Su Binglan’s furrowed brows and reached to smooth them out, saying, “Don’t worry. I’m still me, no matter what kind of memories I have.’
His words relieved Su Binglan of her thoughts. She nodded. “Yeah.”
Ads by Pubfuture Soon after, Luo Jin’an gave Wei Cheng instructions before bringing Wei Ying,
Wei Chuan, and Wei Shi to Dingyang City. The group sped along the way. Falling Snow’s speed was incredible, and its battle intent was firm.
The surrounding horses sensed Falling Snow’s aura and followed suit.
Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu had remained in Su Teng Village since Su Binglan went to the border to look for her husband. Lan Ruozhu wondered if Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua knew he was King Lan Ruozhu.
The older couple only considered him family because their daughter had acknowledged him as her brother. Moreover, they felt sorry for Lan Ruozhu when they saw his weak body. @@novelbin@@
The Su family had cooked delicious food for him daily to nourish his body since Su Binglan left for the border almost a month ago. Lan Ruozhu had recovered fully during his sister’s absence, and he was healthy now.
He would also help Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua around the house. Although the older couple did not ask him for help, he still wanted to express his gratitude since they cared for him so much.
Lan Ruozhu’s legs were much better now, and he could jump easily. He even started practicing martial arts again. He also recognized Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua as his foster parents.
He lived with them comfortably, just like in his own home. He liked Su Teng
Village because he could feel its liveliness and warmth. The Su family was also caring toward him.
Lan Ruozhu ate and slept well there. He felt relaxed and like he had already retired. Of course, he did not forget his mission.
Although he lived in Su Teng Village seemingly peacefully, he constantly received new information from his subordinates. Hence, he knew everything that was happening beyond Su Teng Village.
Ads by Pubfuture
He and his sister trained many people in the past and planted many spies in various places. Lan Ruozhu had access to these spies at critical times. He also knew what was happening inside the Imperial Court and other important places.
Of course, he also knew that Emperor Chu Jian was severely ill, even though the latter had always paid close attention to his health. Therefore, it was strange for him to be severely ill.
If he was not faking it, it was highly likely that someone had poisoned him. After all, Imperial physicians would receive bribes just like ordinary people would.
Moreover, the crown prince was in a hurry to ascend the throne. It was also possible for him to act against his father, the emperor.
Lan Ruozhu had received these pieces of information from the spies he had placed in the palace. He had people watching them and reporting their every move to him.
Lan Ruozhu seemed to have thought of something and called Blue Eagle over. “We can mobilize the spies we planted in the Imperial Academy of Medicine now. Tell them to find out if Emperor Chu Jian is sick or if he’s just pretending. ”
He and his sister had made plenty of preparations and planted spies in several places. However, the spies would have to stay low if the two siblings did not beckon them.
They had to keep low profiles so that others would not suspect them of anything. That way, no one would notice when the spies did their masters’ bidding at critical moments.
Lan Ruozhu could do many more things now that he had recovered. He was ready to start drawing in his net step by step according to his plans.
‘The emperor can’t die so suddenly. I want him to bear infamy before dying. He cares about his position most, right? Then I’ll make him watch as his entire world crumbles around him.
‘No one would listen to his orders then, and his son wants to kill him. I must avenge my parents, sister, and many other families who suffered from the emperor’s reign.’
“Yes, Master. I’ll make the arrangements now.” When Blue Eagle left to settle his task, Blue One stayed beside Lan Ruozhu.
Lan Ruozhu typically did not stay home most of the time. Instead, he would go for walks to see the changes in his surroundings. During this period, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi had finished building their food store on a large piece of land east of their house. Their store was not far from the tofu factory.
Now that Su Fengchen had a proper food store, he followed his sister’s methods, hired people to work for him, and paid them excellent wages and bonuses.
His products were famous, and his business was good, so he and his wife earned a lot since opening their store. They could also pay their workers better and save more with their earnings.
Su Binglan had also placed Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin in charge of the noodle shop before she left for the border. The young couple asked their children to help with the shop.
Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinvin were waiting for Su Binglan to return before hiring people to work at the noodle shop..

No one could get used to Su Binglan’s absence and missed her dearly. Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai often asked when their aunt would return after coming back from school.
Since the whole family missed Su Binglan, they earnestly did the tasks she had arranged. During the month she had been away at the border, the Su family continued managing the tofu factory, embroidery shop, and winery well.
Business at the hotpot restaurants was still as excellent as ever. Of course, the people of Teng County also wanted a hotpot restaurant in their town. Then it would be more convenient for them to eat hotpot.
Even the county magistrate, Meng Ce, hoped for a hotpot restaurant closer to him. After all, his mother, wife, and son also liked eating hotpot.
Even government officials were delighted to go to Tenghe Town for work because they could enjoy eating at the hotpot restaurants. Otherwise, they would find it cumbersome to travel so far for work.
Su Wenwu considered it and opened two new hotpot restaurants in the county. He was even more experienced now that he had opened restaurants independently.
However, the shops in the county were more expensive than those in Tenghe Town, so he rented two remote places. One was at the county’s east end, and the other was at the west. @@novelbin@@
The rent was also cheaper because Su’s Hotpot had made a name for itself. Su Wenwu did not have to worry about people not recognizing the restaurant, no matter where he planned to open them.
In the past, people from the county would travel to Tenghe Town to eat hotpot, but it was far. Compared to traveling to Tenghe Town, the east and west of the county were much closer.
The landlord knew Su Wenwu wanted to rent his shop to open another hotpot restaurant, so he wished to waive the rent as long as he could enjoy eating hotpot more conveniently.
Ads by Pubfuture The people renting shoos in the county were wealthier than most and enjoyed eating hotpot as often as possible.
Su Wenwu saw the landlord’s enthusiasm and offered him a VIP card to get a 10% discount whenever he ate at the restaurant. The landlord was thrilled and decided not to charge Su Wenwu for rent.
Still, Su Wenwu felt he should follow the rules and pay for rent. Besides, he had made plenty of money from the two hotpot restaurants in Tenghe Town. The two bargained for a while, and Su Wenwu paid the landlord one silver tael a month.
Although the landlord did not want to accept the rent because he felt the VIP card was priceless and precious, Su Wenwu insisted on paying. Ultimately, the landlord thought it was fine and accepted Su Wenwu’s terms.
Su Wenwu ensured their deal by signing a contract with the landlord to rent the shop for one silver per month, and the landlord was extremely grateful to him.
Su Wenwu was stunned and thought that receiving everyone’s respect felt great. He still remembered the hardships he had suffered in the past. He went to look for work in the past and could not find any.
Many people looked down on him in his tattered clothes with disdain. Some even gossiped about him behind his back. Even if Su Wenwu did not do anything wrong nor made a fool of himself, people would laugh at him.
When he finally got a job moving things at the dock, he got scolded for breaking the products and making mistakes. He felt sad and uncomfortable but could only swallow his grievances.
After all, he only wanted to make a living and give his earnings to his parents for his family to eat. Even a single copper coin was vital to him back then. Therefore, he had grown accustomed to being thrifty, even though he now had abundant money.
He was habitually frugal but would never take advantage of others. Hence, he insisted on paying rent. His state of mind had also undergone a massive change.
People no longer looked down on him and said mean things about him. They would not look at Su Wenwu with disdain and ridicule. Everyone knew him and that he was a member of the Su family who was in charge of the renowned hotpot restaurants.
People respected him and were very polite to him. Su Wenwu felt better about himself and felt a sense of pride. He cherished his life and continued working hard to earn money. He felt his life was more meaningful.
Ads by Pubfuture After renting the two shops, he looked toward the sky while walking home, feeling the sun’s warmth. Then he entrusted the two restaurant’s renovation to Su Xueye.
Su Xueye had become even more famous since the earthquake because the buildings he had built were still intact after the disaster. Many people asked him to rebuild and renovate their houses and shops.
Since he was much busier now, he formed two more teams, totaling three teams. Su Xueye spent most of his days supervising his teams and teaching them how to build better structures.
That way, he could find time to study and observe more. Even so, many people lined up to hire him and his team for construction work.
Su Xueye also started nurturing apprentices. Of course, he personally handled and prioritized the Su family’s wants and needs. Therefore, he gladly accepted Su Wenwu’s requests.
Su Teng Village continued growing and developing. Even the people from the surrounding villages benefited from these changes and thrived, becoming wealthier.
Almost every family in the surrounding villages worked hard for the Su family, receiving monthly wages and bonuses. Of course, those who failed to get hired had characteristics problems or family issues.
These people later realized their problems and began changing for the better to find work. Those who often quarreled began living in harmony. Needless today, the Su family changed the culture of many villages. Everyone was actively improving.
Even Li Shi’s eldest and youngest brothers in Northern Song Village made excuses, saying they were visiting their parents to curry favor with Li Shi. Even Li Shi’s sisters-in-law became more polite toward him.
They had no complaints, even if Li Shi never paid attention to them and never let them in. Then they realized Li Shi was strong in martial arts and important to the Su family.
Li Shi also managed one of the hotpot restaurants in town and had a lot of power. Ultimately, his siblings and in-laws no longer dared to offend him and even became more polite toward his parents.
They now felt ostracized in Northern Song Village because some people in their village could work for the Su family but not them. The villagers worked in the embroidery shop, cured meat store, or other Su family businesses.
After receiving the Su family’s favor, Li Shi stuck to them wholeheartedly. Since he was Su Binglan’s underling, the Su family would not forgive anyone who hurt him.
Therefore, Li Shi’s brothers could only try currying his favor now. Although Li Shi ignored them, he felt relieved and satisfied.
Even the townsfolk began inquiring about finding jobs at Su Teng Village. When they heard that the Su family would open a cured meat store and noodle shop, they perked up and immediately applied for a job..

Many gathered to discuss the Su family of Su Teng Village. Even those in the county knew about them and the village. Everyone knew the delicacies they ate originated from the Su family.
The wealthier people in the county also competed to see who could get the newest duvets from the Su family’s embroidery shop first. Everyone enjoyed the duvets’ warmth, but they were not easy to buy. Anyone who bought a duvet through their connections could show off.
Of course, it became more convenient for people to buy stinky tofu since the Su family’s carts were all around the county market. Initially, everyone thought the smell was a little bizarre, but after tasting it, they knew it was an acquired taste and enjoyed it.
Teng County was not as prosperous as Tenghe Town. Whenever the county’s people gathered, they would discuss their daily lives.
“Sister Lin, you came to buy stinky tofu too?”
“Yeah, it’s too delicious to resist. If I came late, the seller would have sold out.’
“l agree. I’ll buy a few more to satisfy my cravings.”
“By the way, do you know about cured sausage meat?” Sister Lin asked her neighbor, Liu Shizhi.
“By the way, do you know about dried sausage meat?”Madame Lin asked her neighbor, Liu Shizhi.
The latter was puzzled. “Cured sausage meat? I’ve heard of it but have never seen it before.’
Ads by Pubfuture She seemed to recall hearing of such a thing from a passerby as she came to the morning market to buy things. At that time, she did not pay much attention to it.
Sister Lin said, “Cured sausage meat is incredibly delicious. It goes well with rice. Although it’s a little expensive, it’s good to have some occasionally to satisfy my cravings.
“It’s a new delicacy the Su family developed. In just one bite, I can eat several mouthfuls of cured sausage with steamed buns. It’s also quite fragrant.”
“The foods the Su family makes are always delicious. Where can 1 buy the cured sausage meat?” Liu Shizhi asked anxiously.
Sister Lin was picky about her food and rarely said something was delicious. Since she said cured sausage meat was good, Liu Shizhi believed her and wanted to try it herself.
The two women’s families were exceptionally healthy and were willing to buy delicious food regularly. No matter what, Liu Shizhi felt she had to try the cured sausage meat.
Sister Lin said smilingly, “My daughter lives in Willow Village, closer to Su Teng Village. She also works in the embroidery shop, making it more convenient for her to buy such things. She bought some cured sausage meat to show her filial piety to me.
“Still, it wasn’t easy to get since the Su family sells out quickly. My daughter told me many people lined up in the morning to buy cured meats and make preorders. ”
Sister Lin said these things to hide her selfish motives. She only wanted to show off her eldest daughter. @@novelbin@@
Sister Lin’s eldest daughter had taken a fancy to a young man from Willow Village in the past, but Sister Lin had some objections about it. She felt the young man was from a rural area and that his family’s conditions were unfavorable,
However, her daughter was willing to be with the young man, and as her mother, Sister Lin could only agree. Moreover, the young man was handsome and hardworking. His parents were honest, so Sister Lin knew they would treat her daughter well.
To prove they would give Sister Lin’s daughter a good life, the young man’s parents paid Sister Lin a higher dowry. However, the neighbors gossiped about Sister Lin and her daughter, and Sister Lin felt terrible.
Ads by Pubfuture Still, it was not that she cared about the gossip—she was worried about her daughter. She feared her daughter would become depressed, but her daughter’s living conditions improved exponentially in just two years.
Sister Lin’s daughter birthed a healthy boy, and her in-laws and husband treated her excellently. Sister Lin could rest assured, primarily since her daughter worked at the embroidery shop, receiving two silver taels a month as her wages.
Also, Sister Lin’s son-in-law worked at the winery and earned a lot monthly.
The young man’s parents were usually at home to help care for the children. His family had plenty of land, and his parents could profit from their livestock, like pigs, chickens, and ducks.
However, since people came to them, the family did not need to leave home to profit from their livestock. Sister Lin’s daughter had a much better life than the people in the county.
Moreover, her daughter would bring her any delicious food she came across.
Now that her daughter had purchased an oxcart, her daughter and son-in-law often visited her during their days off from work.
The young couple even told Sister Lin that they had expanded their house. They also offered Sister Lin to stay there.
Since the young man worked in the Su family’s winery, he could buy wine at
an internal price. Even his father could drink wine leisurely. Therefore, Li Shi wished to speak highly about her daughter and let everyone know she lived perfectly.
Liu Shizhi was envious. ‘Your son-in-law and eldest daughter are so dutiful. They live a good life and often bring you delicious food, right?”
“That’s right. My son-in-law listens to my daughter, and her in-laws treat her well. I can rest assured as a parent.

“That’s right. Our son-in-law listens to my daughter, and our parents-in-law treat her well. As parents, we can rest assured.” Liu Shizhi sighed. She never expected to be better off in the countryside than in the city.
Sister Lin’s daughter had learned how to make dumplings from Su Binglan and then taught Sister Lin how to make them. Afterward, Sister Lin taught her neighbors to make dumplings.
Sometimes, when Sister Lin came across something delicious, she would share some with her neighbors to taste. After all, she did not need to worry about such things because her daughter and son-in-law were filial, and the man came from a good family.
In addition, Sister Lin gave some fruit wine to her family. They were genuinely grateful to her for it. They had to admit that Sister Lin had raised her daughter well.
Liu Shizhi had two daughters and a son. Her eldest daughter married into a wealthy family and could only return once a year. Moreover, being a
daughter-in-law to a wealthy family was not easy.
Initially, the neighbors even compared Sister Lin’s daughter to Liu Shizhi’s eldest daughter, saying Sister Lin’s daughter was stupid. However, the neighbors no longer dared to say such things and even began to envy Sister Lin.
Liu Shizhi thought if she wanted to match her younger daughter with someone, she would see if the other party could treat her daughter well. After all, one could not just consider a family’s influence and worldly things.
Sometimes, two people needed to get along well. Liu Shizhi felt her children could live good lives as long as they lived harmoniously.
‘Su Teng Village and Tenghe Town are pretty good.’ Liu Shizhi thought.
Then she seemed to have thought of something and said, “Right, I heard Su Teng Village is quite prosperous now since their market has groievn exponentially.”
She had never been to Sister Liu’s place but had heard many good things about it.
Sister Lin had something else to say, “My daughter and son-in-law often bring me to the market. I can confirm that it is indeed massive now. There’s a lot more good food there, and it’s fun. Foreign merchants are also frequenting
Su Teng Village’s market. It’s always so lively there.”
Liu Shizhi became increasingly envious of Sister Lin the more she listened. The two finally reached the front of the stinky tofu cart after talking.
The person selling stinky tofu recognized Sister Liu, saying, “Brother Zhou told me to give you something, Sister Lin.”
Wang Zhuo revealed a bag as he spoke. Brother Zhou’s name was Zhou Chang, Sister Lin’s son-in-law. Wang Zhou and Zhou Chang were from Willow Village, so they were familiar with each other.
Sometimes, Zhou Chang would ask Wang Zhou to give things to Sister Lin..

Sister Lin took the things and said, “Oh, I’ve troubled you.”
Wang Zhou smiled. “It’s no trouble at all. Zhou Chang helped me a bunch. 1 only got this job because he asked the Su family for my help.”
Wang Zhou was married to a girl from the county. However, his wife’s family did not live in the city; they lived in a village next to the county. Although it was more convenient for him to work in the winery, he chose to sell stinky tofu in town.
He also earned a lot of money. It was no less than working in a winery; he could help his wife care for her parents. His wife also had younger siblings to care for.
Fortunately, Wang Zhou earned a lot to improve his family’s days. He did not mind that his wife’s family was poor because he was well-off now and could naturally treat his wife better.
He seemed to have thought of something and said, “Oh, the winery has promoted Zhou Chang to manager. He’s pretty busy now and might not be able to see you this month. He says he’ll come to see you when he’s free.”
Sister Lin smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line when she heard that. “His job should be more important. Tell him not to worry about me when you see him, okay? I’m fine now.”
Liu Shizhi grew even more envious because she knew a manager received more wages. Back then, she and her neighbors thought Zhou Chang could not do much, even though he was handsome and hardworking.
Still, it had only been two years, and he had already made a name for himself.
Moreover, his daughter also had a decent job, and the father-daughter duo earned a lot monthly.
Sister Lin received many things from Zhou Chang and could not carry everything. Hence, Wang Zhou offered to help her after work. “Sister Lin, I’ll help you bring these home.”
“But it’s so cumbersome for you.”
Ads by Pubfuture “What are you talking about? We’re neighbors.”
Liu Shizhi and Sister Lin walked home after buying stinky tofu. Liu Shizhi smiled and said, “1 saved a lot of money today thanks to you, Sister Lin.”
The Su family had hired Wang Zhou to sell stinky tofu. The more he sold, the higher his commission would be. Later, he would switch to another method when he earned more: to pay off the cart and make it his own.
Afterward, he would buy products from the tofu factory to sell stinky tofu in the county independently. That way, all the profits would belong to him, not only the commission. He would also have more freedom to give discounts to those he cared about.
Sister Lin said, “You’re welcome. Wang Zhou and my son-in-law are from the same village. They’ve had a good relationship since they were young, and Wan Zhou has always been honest.”
“Your son-in-law is so young, yet he’s already the winery’s manager. He’s also a dutiful child, so I’m happy for you.”
Sister Lin knew Liu Shizhi sincerely praised her family. Sister Lin said, “l noticed how hardworking and ambitious Wang Zhou was back then, so I was at ease letting him marry my daughter. Indeed, he treated my daughter sincerely and well since marrying each other.”
“It’s good that your married daughter can often visit you every month. The neighbors are envious of you now.”
Sister Lin could not help but smile when she heard that. She knew everyone had been gossiping about her and calling her stupid in the past. However, they were envious of how well she could live now.
To her, it was nothing more than seeing her daughter and son-in-law living better lives. Sister Lin basked in her daughter and son-in-law’s glory and was well-fed.
None of her neighbors were like her daughter, who often visited and brought things for her mother.
Sister Lin noticed her daughter had become more talkative and confident since she started working at the embroidery shop and receiving bonuses. After all, working away from home helped one to improve.
Sister Lin said, “It’s nothing. I knew Zhou Chang was a good and hardworking person from the start, and he would always lead a good life. Still, I didn’t expect him to be better off than those living in the county.
“My daughter says she wants to send her son to Blue Mountain Academy when he’s of age. She can send her son there conveniently since she lives nearby.”
Ads by Pubfuture Since the family earned a lot from working for the Su family, they could afford to send their son to school. Moreover, Blue Mountain Academy’s school fees were not cheap.
Liu Shizhi felt even more envious now.
The two women talked while walking home and caught each other up on their lives. Even the families living in the county were willing to let their daughters go to Tenghe Town.
Most people with foresight predicted Su Teng Village would continue developing and improving.
Many people could not afford a house in Su Teng Village, so they bought one west of Tenghe Town. That way, they could be closer to the village’s embroidery shop and winery, making it more convenient.
Therefore, the west side of Tenghe Town, which was initially remote and quiet, became a bustling area. Many people lived there, and more shops began developing. It also became convenient for everyone to eat hotpot since there was a restaurant there.
The west side also had a skewer stall, a haggis soup shop, a duck blood vermicelli shop, and many other snack stores. Many people also set up their stalls, forming a lively food street. @@novelbin@@
Most people now realized living on the west side of Teng He Town was convenient. It was also close to Blue Mountain Academy.
Some merchants from other places with few family members also moved their families here, mainly because there were wars where they lived. Although Dingzhou was safe and stable, everyone felt safer staying on the west side of the town.
Unknowingly, the population in Tenghe Town had increased by quite a bit. County Magistrate Meng Ce was stunned when he looked at the number of people there.
Dingzhou was initially a remote place, let alone Teng County. It was rural and had fewer people than other places. However, the population grew exponentially in just a few months.
Meng Ce was happy and excited at that thought. He figured it was probably related to the Su family from Su Teng Village.
Later that night, he visited his mother for dinner and could not help but sigh, saying, “You have excellent foresight, Mother. You knew Miss Su wasn’t an ordinary person from the beginning.”
Su Binglan was just a country girl who did not show her talents in the past. No one could have expected her to bring such massive changes to Teng County, not to mention he predicted the earthquake and saved so many lives.
Old Madam Feng said, “That’s why I’ve always taught you not to judge a person by appearance. You can’t look down on others just because they’re down and out for a while. You must look beyond that.”
Old Madam Fengs family was one of the six prominent families in Teng County, and she was the eldest daughter from the main branch. She was knowledgeable and could see beyond the surface. It would require a certain amount of foresight.
“Yes, Mother.” Meng Ce nodded thoughtfully.. “Oh, are the Feng and Meng families standing firmly on the kings side?”

Nieng Ce told his mother he would be loyal to King Lan Ruozhu when he met the King during the earthquake. Still, he did not know if the entire Feng and Meng families would remain loyal to the king.
That was because Old Madam Feng did not completely control her family. Instead, Meng Ce l s uncle had control over it. The current situation had yet to be determined, and whoever they pledged allegiance to would determine the family’s future development.
Nonetheless, it was somewhat risky to choose sides now. Moreover, everyone still thought King Lan Ruozhu was still in poor health.
However, Old Madam Feng was firm and wanted her family loyal to King Lan Ruozhum. On the other hand, Meng Ce had grown accustomed to listening to his mother.
He was not obedient, but he trusted his mother’s judgment. That was the case many times before.
Old Madam Feng said, “You need not worry about the Feng family. After all, the relationship between my family and the deceased royal’s mansion was perfect. We’ll agree to be loyal to King Lan Ruozhu.
“Although, Your Majesty’s body might be weak, don’t you think his health is improving? Also, Miss Su has unparalleled medical skills. I believe King Lan Ruozhu will recover completely. We must keep this matter a secret and not reveal it to anyone.”
“Don’t worry, Mother. I know what to say and what not to say.” Meng Ce nodded.
The Feng family became one of the six most prominent families and still stood tall because of the family’s judgment. However, the Meng family was not under Old Madam Feng’s control, so Meng Ce had to convince his uncle to be loyal to King Lan Ruozhu.
“You’re in charge of convincing your uncle. I might have to step in if you can’t.”
“All right, Mother.”
Unbeknownst to Meng Che, the Feng and Meng families’ status would rise because of his decision. When that time came, the situation in Chu Country was already evident, and the other prominent families could only envy them. After all, it was crucial to choose the right side in advance as it directly determined a family’s survival.
Meanwhile, Su Zhengde and his family were swamped these days. He and his eldest grandson were busy helping people build and renovate their houses while many others made appointments with them.
Ads by Pubfuture Madam Zhou was also busy making furniture with her three sons. They would usually place the furniture they made in a big house for everyone to look at and order before they had a shop.
Now that they had sold many more products, their reputation rose. Whenever people came to them to buy furniture, they no longer asked to see the actual products—instead, they ordered based on pictures the family prepared in a catalog.
Madam Zhou knew it was all thanks to the Su family’s reputation that everyone trusted their craft. That was why people dared to order furniture just by looking at pictures of them.
Of course, Madam Zhou and her three sons were consistent with their quality, even though the customers did not look at the actual products and made orders based on pictures.
After dinner, Madam Zhou lit a candle and looked at the orders she had received. “I’ll have to make more than ten furniture sets in just a month. I feel like I’m too busy. We still have to tend to those who have made pre-orders for next month, and there are still many orders I haven’t accepted yet.”
Su Xueye was drawing a blueprint when he heard his grandmother. He said, “Grandma, should my father and his brothers build a furniture factory? Then you can hire people to help.”
“But we should pass on our craftsmanship secrets to outsiders. We should keep them in the family.”
Su Xueye said, “Then we’ll do it just like the tofu factory, Grandma. Aunt Binglan doesn’t show everyone the whole process of making tofu. Instead, she made each person responsible for only one step. Some only soak soybeans, and some only grind them.
“It’s the same at the pottery workshop. Only a few workers can master the process. Still, the workers only know parts of the process, not everything.
“You can do the same if you open a furniture factory, Grandma. For example, you can train a few people to make legs for stools and some who make the top.
Then Father and my uncles can assemble them.”
Su Xueye’s father, Su Wenxing, understood his son’s meaning immediately after hearing his explanation. “We can do that.”
Madam Zhou nodded, saying, “You’re so clever. No wonder Binglan always praises you. Finally, our family will open a furniture factory.
She was relieved, knowing she could accept more orders if she opened a furniture factory. After all, her business was booming, and opening a factory would be wise to allow the family to profit more.
Everyone felt at ease, even though they were swamped. The family had saved a lot of money, and Madam Zhou felt it was good to have a career in something she was passionate about.
Ads by Pubfuture The entire Su family worked hard to improve, not to fall behind. They all felt their lives had become more meaningful. Their businesses constantly expanded, and they could earn money while gaining the people’s respect.
Madam Zhou’s three sons were ecstatic when they heard they would open a furniture factory. After some thought, Madam Zhou said, “You three won’t be able to handle all the assembly. Your wives can also learn to assemble furniture.’
Su Wenxings wife was excited when she heard that. “We can learn from them, Mother-in-law?”
Madam Zhou said, “Of course you can. Binglan said women can do whatever men can do. Just follow and learn. That way, the six of you can assemble the furniture while the workers build more.’
Her three daughters-in-law were diligent and honest. They did not slack off with work. However, they could only help Madam Zhou with certain things and did not learn much initially.
The three daughters-in-law were envious of Madam Ding, Liu Yinyin, and Miao Zhizhi since the three had businesses to run. The daughters-in-law were thrilled that they could learn more from Madam Zhou. @@novelbin@@
Madam Zhou smiled when she saw her in-laws’ happy expressions. She said, “Work hard, and I’ll give you bonuses and commissions.
The trio could not hold in their excitement, thinking, ‘So, we can have private savings, too?’
Su Xueye smiled when he saw his father and mother’s happy expressions. He enjoyed the lively environment at home and that everyone was working hard.
Su Zhengde looked at his blueprint and then at his grandson’s. He asked,
“What are you drawing?”
Su Xueye replied, “It’s for an apartment in the neighborhood.”
“Who hired you to build it?”
“Many more people are buying houses in Tenghe town these days,” Su Xueye said, “However, there aren’t many places available. Even if someone were willing to sell their place or rent it, the people can’t immediately afford it.
“Aunt Binglan was the one who told me to design an apartment, no one else. I was the one who built the residential area and the staff dormitories next to Aunt Binglan’s embroidery shop.
“She said she would build another factory around there and supporting facilities. A row of houses would look neat since we can build some in town. I also considered designing guard houses with gates. I’m first drawing some blueprints and will show Aunt Binglan when she returns.”
“Binglan plans to build apartments there? Can we sell that many houses?”
“I don’t know,” Su Xueye said, “Still, if Aunt Binglan says we should, then it’ll undoubtedly be helpful. She also said we should build houses around Blue
Mountain Academy..”

Su Xueye did not understand some of the things Su Binglan used to say in the past, but after learning a lot from her, he became more knowledgeable.
All the land near Blue Mountain Academy belonged to Su Binglan, and Su Xueye knew she planned to build houses there. Still, Madam Zhou did not quite understand what he said.
Even so, the family trusted Su Binglan. Madam Zhou said, “Although we might not understand these things, your aunt is right. Just do as she says. Our family wouldn’t be so fortunate without her.
“Also, your aunt taught you sincerely. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the respect you have today.” Madam Zhou was proud of what her grandson had achieved at such a young age.
“l know, Grandma. I’ll continue to study hard.” Su Xueye nodded thoughtfully. He would not allow himself to be overconfident and continue studying and working hard.
Madam Zhou was delighted to see her grandson that way. Although Su Xueye was young, he had a calm personality and could guard against arrogance and impatience. He was also talented and the family’s pride.
Su Zhengde looked at his grandson proudly. People always recognized him as Su Xueye’s grandfather whenever he was out working. Many more people used to know more about him than Su Xueye.
Madam Zhou said, “Right, we must quickly build our furniture factory.” Su Zhengde answered, “I’ll arrange for some people to build the factory tomorrow. ”
When Su Fengchen and the others were having dinner together, Old Madam
Su told Su Fengchen, “Several people are asking around to buy your cured sausages these days. Why don’t we make more tomorrow?” @@novelbin@@
She knew how delicious cured meat was but did not expect it to be so popular. Some time ago, everyone still wondered what cured sausages were when they went to the market.
Some bought a piece and planned to taste it at home. They would buy more if they thought it was delicious. However, no one expected it to go so well with rice.
Ads by Pubfuture When those who bought the product returned to buy more, there was already a long queue before them. People who had already tasted it knew how delicious it was, so they bought more than ten pounds at once.
Now that everyone was much better off, they would spend more on food. Moreover, the cured sausages were inexpensive and went well with steamed buns.
Most who went to buy cured sausages wanted to bring them home and make a pot of steamed buns to eat with the cured sausage,
Although Su Fengchen and the others had made a lot, they could not meet the demand because of its popularity. Since that was the case, most people wanted to know if they could order in advance.
Even so, cured meats were easy to store. People could even eat it during the New Year if they bought more and kept them starting now. It was also winter, so the cured sausages would take longer to expire.
Su Fengchen said, “We made plenty and sold them in the market, but we sold out almost immediately. We never have enough, no matter how much we make.’
Miao Zhizhi could not help but sigh when she recalled the long queue she saw the other day. Everyone was eager to buy the family’s products.
“Everyone’s lives are better now,” Old Master Su said, “Everyone is willing to spend more to buy food now. They’re willing to try anything delicious.”
Old Madam Su added, “Those who return to buy more cured sausages only come to buy more after tasting it. Unfortunately, we can’t make enough. Even foreign merchants want to order in bulk.”
Miao Zhizhi smiled. “Binglan always has a way of making delicious food.” Everyone thought of Su Binglan when Miao Zhizhi mentioned her.
“You don’t have to tell me twice,” Old Madam Su said, “We’ve been eating cured sausages every meal for the past few days.”
Su Binglan had taught them to make cured sausages a month ago. She had brought some of them along on her journey and left the rest for Su Fengchen and the others.
Old Madam Su even gave some to her sons; everyone said it was delicious. Afterward, Su Fengchen followed his niece’s instructions and made more to sell them at the store. The product instantly became popular as soon as the family started selling them.
“We don’t have enough workers at the store,” Old Madam Su said, “We should hire more people.”
Su Fengchen had already hired some workers, but he needed more. “All right,
Ads by Pubfuture Mother. I’ll hire more people tomorrow.”
“Yes, but you can’t fully reveal our method of making cured meats,” Old Madam Su reminded.
Su Fengchen nodded. “l know that, Mother. It’s easy to keep our methods a secret. We’ll hire more people but only teach them one part of the method. We’re the only ones who should know the entire process, including the seasoning. That won’t be a problem.”
“That’s right,” Old Madam Su said, “We’ll get someone to portion the meat when the time comes. Then we’ll mix the seasonings well before getting someone to add them to the products. It’s simple and convenient.”
Niaking cured meat was easier than making roast duck and grilled chicken. Still, different foods would gear toward different people. The family sold several products in their store and had to make everything.
“I’ll get someone to portion the pork tomorrow,” Su Fengchen said.
He had also expanded his farm and raised many pigs, so he hired workers to care for his livestock.
However, many families in the village had pigs. Even if Su Fengchen ran out of them, he could buy some from his neighbors or the surrounding villages. Getting ingredients was also easier, saving him plenty of time.
The following day, Su Fengchen started spreading the news of his recruitment. Many people rushed to apply for the job. Even people in the surrounding villages worked.
It was just that people in distant villages had less work to do, so they traveled far to go for the interview. Therefore, dozens of people had already started lining up by noon. People from town also came for a chance to work for the Su family.
Su Fengchen did a simple interview and hired a few people. He assessed these people’s honesty, diligence, and character during the interview. If they showed promise in these regards, he would hire them.
Afterward, he told them to start immediately at his cured meat store. The people he hired were thrilled and repeatedly said they would do their best.
Some foreign merchants heard that Su Fengchen had built a cured meat store. When they arrived at Su Teng Village, they rushed to his store to order his products.
“Young Master Su, we’ve worked together before. I came to order a batch of cured meat and sausages. The more, the better.”
“l just rushed here from overseas to buy your products, Young Master Su. You must leave some for me. I want to make a large order too.”
“Me too, Young Master Su!”
These merchants wanted to buy Su Fengchen’s products and resell them in their villages in the past. However, Su Fengchen did not make much, not even enough to sell locally, let alone to foreign merchants.
Therefore, the merchants could only buy a little each time to resell in their villages for people to taste..

However, the people in other villages would not have enough to try if the merchants could only bring home a little. Ultimately, the villages told their merchants to bring more.
Still, Su Fengchen only had a limited supply each time. He would not let foreign merchants buy everything and give nothing to the locals. That was why he ruled that everyone could only buy a limited amount.
His previous products were delicious, but he later made cured sausages, which were even more tasty. Everyone wished they could buy a big batch of cured sausages in one go.
However, foreign merchants would be unwilling to resell the sausages if they could not buy them in large quantities. Instead, they planned to keep them for their family members.
Su Fengchen’s heart softened when he saw everyone looking at him with eager
eyes. He was delighted to know that everyone liked the Su family’s delicacies.
Everyone looked at him with their hearts in their throats, afraid he would say he did not have enough products and that they could not order too much.
The foreign merchants profited significantly, helping their families to become wealthy by reselling the delicacies they bought from the Su family’s businesses.
Although their home was far from Su Teng Village, they enjoyed running back and forth. After all, they could make a living and eat delicious food, killing two birds with one stone.
After some thought, Su Fengchen said, “I plan to make more cured meats, so you can make pre-orders. How much do you need? You can pay us a deposit and return to collect your goods when we’ve prepared them.”
Everyone was thrilled after hearing his words. “Thank you so much, Fourth Young Master Su!”
Ads by Pubfuture “Thank you so, so much!” “I’ll order 100 pounds first.” “Me too!”
“I’ll order 300 pounds.”
“Then I’ll do the same.’
Su Fengchen’s lips twitched as he listened to everyone’s orders. “Are you all serious? Are you genuinely going to order so much at once?”
One of the merchants anxiously said, “Of course, Fourth Young Master Su. You know we’re honest when conducting business. Otherwise, Miss Su wouldn’t have cooperated with us. I’ll pay you the deposit now.”
“Yeah, Fourth Young Master Su. You have no idea how popular your cured sausages are in my village. Even I think they’re incredibly delicious. I’ve never had anything so tasty before.”
“Ordering a bunch at a time is okay since they’re easy to store. We’ve eaten many delicacies, but these sausages are the best. You can imagine how popular these are when we bring them to our local market.
“Yeah, these things are excellent.”
“Don’t worry, Fourth Young Master Su. I’m still ordering 300 pounds since I have a shop specializing in such delicacies. I resell your products to wealthy folks, and they’re willing to spend more to buy your products.”
“Your products are perfect, Fourth Young Master Su. There’s no doubt about it.
After all, we’ve tasted them ourselves.’
Su Fengchen realized everyone was being honest and signed contracts with them. Then he told his workers to make as many cured sausages as possible.
The workers did their jobs quickly and were responsible for chopping the meat while Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi seasoned them.
The seasoning was straightforward. The young couple added it into a large basin of minced meat, stirred the mixture well, and gave it to the workers to put the mixture into sausage skins.
Ads by Pubfuture Immediately after, they hung the products on a rope in the yard to begin the curing process. The cured sausages were ready in just a few days. The merchants were amazed when Su Fengchen called them over.
They did not expect the young couple to complete their orders in just a few days. Not only were they amazed—they were also excited.
The merchants quickly paid Su Fengchen, then got someone to load their goods onto their horse carriage before setting off. They wanted to bring their goods home quickly to sell. After all, they wanted to earn as much as possible before the New Year.
Of course, people also ordered plenty of other things from the younger couple besides cured sausages. The merchants were happy to pay for the Su family’s products.
They looked ecstatic and thrilled. Even so, they feared being unable to get their goods if they paid late.
Su Fengchen was in a daze as he held the money. He felt he should be the happiest, but the merchants were happier than him.
“Thank you very much, Fourth Young Master Su. I can make a fortune when I return to my village because of your products.”
“This is good stuff. Still, I can’t sell all my stock yet since I want to keep some to entertain my guests during the New Year.”
“We can use them as gifts too.”
“Yeah, I brought home the duvets I ordered from the embroidery shop as presents, and everyone liked them. I also used such goods to build some local connections. Now, it’s much more convenient for me to conduct business locally.”
“Me too. I just bought some braised chicken, roasted duck, and snacks from here as gifts.”
“Yes, yes. Previously, spending money to give gifts was not as accessible.” @@novelbin@@
Everyone talked at once, and Su Fengchen could not help but laugh. He did not expect his products to bring about such things.
Later that night, he sat on the brick bed with the silver he had earned and shared his happiness with his wife and parents.

Old Madam Su was amazed. “It’s only been a few days, but you’ve already earned so much. That’s how popular our cured sausages are.”
Su Fengchen nodded. “Everyone likes them very much. We should make more sausages since Su Teng Market will open in three days. Plenty of people will come rushing to buy them.”
“Of course,” Old Madam Su said, “You should make more, but don’t tire yourself out.”
Miao Zhizhi smiled. “We’re only responsible for the seasoning,
Mother-in-law. We can’t tire ourselves out, even if we tried. The people we hired do most of the heavy lifting.
“Now that we’ve set up a store and hired more people, we can focus more on our personal responsibilities.”
“That’s great,” Old Madam Su said, “Still, you should be exhausted from those large orders. Rest more, okay?”
“It’s okay, Mother-in-law,” Miao Zhizhi said, “l can help Fengchen look after the shop, too,”
The young couple opened their shop daily, and many came from far and wide to buy their food. Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen took turns looking after the shop.
Old Master Su and Old Madam Su wanted to help, but the younger couple did not want them to tire themselves out. After all, they could rest at home since Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi had hired more people.
Suddenly, an idea came to Miao Zhizhi. “I have an idea!”
Old Madam Su asked, “What is it, Zhizhi? You can speak your mind. We’re family, after all.”
Su Fengchen looked at his wife encouragingly.
Miao Zhizhi smiled. “People from the county and prefecture came to buy our products previously. I thought we should open a few more stores closer to them.
“Since everyone knows it’s called Su l s Cured Meats, we can hire others to look after the new stores and send goods there. That way, it’ll be much more convenient for those people to buy our products.
“Then we no longer have to rely on foreign merchants to buy our stuff. We can expand our business elsewhere instead.”
Su Fengchen’s eyes lit up after hearing his wife’s words. “That’s an excellent idea!”
Old Madam Su nodded. “You’re right, Fengchen. That’s perfect. Why didn’t we consider that before?”
Meanwhile, the usually quiet Old Master Su nodded in agreement..

Miao Zhizhi was thrilled when everyone agreed. The following day, she and her husband started preparing to expand their business elsewhere.
Since the cured meats store was on the right track, Old Master Su and Old Madam Su could help look after it while the younger couple went to other places to check things out.
Su Fengchen could ask Su Wenwu for his opinion regarding this matter. After all, Su Wenwu had opened two more hotpot restaurants in the county. Su Wenwu could also help his uncle scout the land.
Ultimately, Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi decided to open one of their stores next to one of Su Wenwu’s hotpot restaurants in the county. The young couple took a few more days setting up another store in another town.
They kept their decor straightforward and did not want it to be as complicated as the hotpot restaurants. They were content as long as they had shelves. Moreover, they did not want their store to be too big.
Finally, the younger couple would hire people to look after their new shops and deliver goods daily.
Time passed slowly, but before Lan Ruozhu knew it, he had been living with the Su family for a month. As usual, he read the news and information he received from his subordinates daily.
Lan Ruozhu’s eyes widened when he read a particular message. Blue Eagle noticed his master’s expression and guessed what the news was.
“Chu Feifeng is secretly gathering an army?” Lan Ruozhu mumbled.
Chu Feifeng was King Jian of Jianzhou, the son of Emperor Chu Gujian, and the brother of the crown prince.
Ads by Pubfuture Chu Feifeng was loyal to his brother, the crown prince, and had a good relationship with him on the surface, but in reality, he secretly plotted something.
He did not want to be subject to his brother in the future, so he wanted to take the emperor’s throne for himself. Therefore, Chu Feifeng grew increasingly restless.
“Master, will they attack Dingzhou?”
Lan Ruozhu revealed a cold smile. “That’s good. Now 1 have a reason to annex
Jianzhou. The army my sister trained back then is starting to get restless, so it’s perfect to let them go and hone their skills.”
He, too, had a secret army that he and his sister had trained. It was his hidden strength and trump card, and Lan Ruobing was the one who told them to protect her brother.
The siblings had hidden these forces in the dark, and no one knew about them. Nonetheless, Lan Ruozhu was itching to use them at this critical moment.
Although he was not in good health and had many concerns when doing things in the past, there was no longer a need to worry now. He would retaliate without hesitation if others wanted to threaten or attack him.
Lan Ruozhu had reunited with his long-lost sister and wanted to fight to protect her. Moreover, they were in Dingzhou, and he wanted to protect the land for her.
Of course, his end goal was not only Dingzhou but also the emperor’s position. From what Lan Ruozhu experienced, he understood that he could only protect people if he had the most power and sat in the highest position.
Blue Eagle’s heart trembled since his master had always been reluctant to use the army Princess Lan Ruobing had left for him.
‘Master always kept that army safe because he didn’t want them to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield. Now that Master has reunited with Princess Lan, his thoughts and demeanor have changed.’
Besides the secret army, Lan Ruozhu also intended to use the tens of thousands of men he had prepared. Those tens of thousands of people were elite forces that belonged to the deceased royal’s palace.
Ads by Pubfuture Moreover, Lan Ruozhu had trusted generals by his side. He would not be afraid even if Chu Feifeng were to attack. Instead, he finally found a reason to retaliate and annex Jianzhou. After all, it would be a fair fight.
In addition, the emperor was severely ill, and the Imperial Court was in shambles. Neither the emperor nor the crown prince had the energy to manage the provinces’ affairs.
All of these states were fighting, and many provinces had gotten annexed. The entire Chu Countrys power was divided. Chu Feifeng had already annexed the province and some land, so he likely planned to attack Dingzhou next.
Blue Eagle remained silent because he knew he only needed to listen to orders. After all, his master had already made plans and arrangements.
“Blue Eagle,” Lan Ruozhu said with rapt attention, “tell everyone to prepare for battle, but don’t act without my orders.”
“Yes, Master.”
Lan Ruozhu gave Blue Eagle some instructions and immediately began worrying about Su Binglan. After all, the battles outside were becoming increasingly intense.
It was perilous out there, and he did not know how his sister was doing. @@novelbin@@
‘It’s been a month, and my sister has yet to return.’ With that thought in mind, he suddenly heard something. ‘Was that an eagle?’
He left the house and saw an eagle circling the sky. Lan Ruozhu’s heart skipped a beat, and the eagle slowly flew downward after seeing Lan Ruozhu.
The Shadow Guards looked at the eagle and pointed their swords at it. The eagle looked at the swords and cawed at Lan Ruozhu before releasing a headband it had in its mouth.
Lan Ruozhu looked at the headband and quickly recognized it. He knew it belonged to his sister. “Blue One, stop. It should be information from my sister.”

He knew eagles could send messages and that they were better than pigeons. However, eagles were rare, and only a few could train them to deliver letters.
Still, Lan Ruozhu knew his sister’s capabilities.
‘There’s nothing she can’t do.’
Lan Ruozhu waved at the eagle after Blue One left.
The eagle hovering in the sky landed on his shoulder and stretched one of its claws, signaling for Lan Ruozhu to read the letter.
Lan Ruozhu smiled when he saw the eagle’s actions. “My sister must’ve sent you here.”
He stroked the eagle’s feathers as he spoke. The eagle understood him and nodded. Lan Ruozhu removed the letter from the eagle’s claws, and his expression changed when he saw its contents.
He quickly wrote a reply and tied it to the eagle’s claw. Then he fed it and said, “Please send the letter to her.’
The eagle nodded after eating and flew away.
Lan Ruozhu knew he could not stay with the Su family for now, so he entered the house to tell Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao he had something to tend to and needed to return to the prefecture.
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao did not ask much. Instead, they prepared plenty of things for him and placed them on a carriage. Lan Ruozhu felt warm and touched as he looked at the packed carriage.
“Thank you, Godfather and Godmother.”
Shen Qiuhua felt pain for Lan Ruozhu and suspected he had been through a lot. She never forgot the first day he arrived.
Lan Ruozhu’s eyes were full of the alteration of life, but after living with the Su family for a month, his expression became much gentler.
Still, Shen Qiuhua knew he was someone with a profound story. She respected Lan Ruozhu and did not pry. Instead, she said, “There’s no need to be so polite with us. Come home when you’re ready, okay? This place will always be your home.’
Lan Ruozhu nodded vigorously, saying, “Yes, Godmother.”
When Lan Ruozhu left for the prefecture, Blue Two and Blue Three learned of his departure and chased after him. The duo did not know Su Binglan had sent an eagle to deliver the news to her brother.
One night, not too long after Lan Ruozhu returned to Dingzhou, Chu Feifeng led his troops to attack..
