Chapter 461: Serious Matters

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Fengmao did not know his daughter had told the Taos about porcelain-making methods. Therefore, he did not understand what Tao Eryong meant when he said his elder brother had finally burned it.

However, Su Binglan immediately understood what Tao Eryong said. Her eyes lit up, asking, “Did he finally make the porcelain I told you about?”

There was a significant difference between porcelain and clay pots. Their prices were not even on the same level, as porcelain looked more exquisite and luxurious.

If Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian used porcelain to store wine, they could sell it to the capital at high prices to earn money from its people.

Tao Eryong tried to calm his breathing and said, “Yes, Dayong has been thinking about it and finally completed it. I was so excited that I hurried over to tell you, Miss Su.”

Su Fengmao saw Tao Eryong panting from running so far and hurriedly poured him a glass of water. “Here, have some.”

Indeed, Tao Eryong’s mouth was dry from running so far. After all, he had rushed over to tell Su Binglan about the good news because he was anxious.

He took the bowl Su Fengmao handed him and gulped the water down. Afterward, Tao Erying suddenly recalled the water’s aftertaste and thought it differed from the water he drank at home.

He felt the one he had just drank was more refreshing, causing all his fatigue to vanish instantly. His breathing also became smoother, and he felt like he had regained all his strength after being exhausted.

Tao Eryong was puzzled. He did not know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt Su Binglan’s water was incredibly delicious. He wanted to drink another bowl but was too embarrassed to ask.

Soon after, they started discussing serious matters.

“Ever since you told us the difference between porcelain and clay, my brother constantly thought about how to make it, especially whenever he finished working.

“He first burned it according to your instructions, but the materials he burned either shattered or did not get the right amount of heat. My big brother couldn’t stop thinking about it, but he finally succeeded. The porcelain bottle he made is gorgeous.” Tao Eryong’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

The porcelain bottle was stunning and had a luster that entirely differed from the jars and wine bottles the Taos used to make. It was smooth to the touch. Of course, the Taos dared not move the porcelain bottle, fearing they would break it.

Tao Eryong, his elder brother, and his parents were too excited. Mr. and Mrs. Tao wanted to tell Su Binglan the good news at the first possible moment, so Tao Eryong volunteered to do it.

Su Binglan was genuinely thrilled as well. She stood up and said, “You didn’t take the oxcart here?”

Tao Eryong was stunned when he heard that. “Huh?”

After his momentary shock, he returned to his senses and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly. “I-I forgot we had one.”

He was in such a rush to tell Su Binglan about the porcelain that he forgot to ride the oxcart over. The Taos had bought an oxcart some time ago because they had to transport their wine bottles and jars to Su Teng Village.

Since it was so inconvenient to transport their goods in the past, Tao Zhenggang and his wife spent ten silver taels on buying an ox and paying a carpenter to make them a cart.

When Su Binglan discovered this, she immediately reimbursed the Taos. Tao Zhenggang and his wife refused her money then, saying they had invested in an oxcart and could not have the nerve to let Su Binglan spend more money on them.

Later, Su Binglan explained what reimbursement was. In any case, she had taken responsibility for the payment but gave the oxcart to the Taos. They were genuinely grateful to Su Binglan.

The Taos did not know what to do to repay Su Binglan’s kindness and could only work harder for her. Meanwhile, Tao Dayong only thought about ways to make more beautiful products to help Su Binglan.

Su Binglan smiled when she looked at Tao Eryong’s honest appearance.

Su Fengmao said, “He’s such an honest kid and was probably in a hurry to tell you the excellent news, Binglan.”

He finally understood what the young man meant and became happy. After all, using an exquisite bottle for the wine would make it look more expensive.

Su Binglan nodded and said smilingly, “How about I go to your house to see what your brother made? You can take my carriage back with me.”

Su Fengmao had become interested in the topic, so he said, “Daughter, I want to go and take a look too.” He looked at his daughter with eager eyes.

Su Binglan nodded. “All right, let’s bring Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian along, too.”

‘The carriage was big enough to fit everyone, anyway.’

Su Fengmao happily grinned because he knew his daughter would agree. ‘My daughter is so easy to talk to and has a good temperament.’

Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were still busy filling jars and bottles with wine when Su Binglan went to their house in Willow Village to call them.

The wine they had made before was in a big pot. If they wanted to sell wine, it would be better to sell loose ones. After all, they could just scoop it directly from the big pot.

Still, they had to put the wine into jars and bottles to sell it outside. The father-son duo initially thought they had enough bottles, but Su Binglan got the Taos to make more. Therefore, the duo also put wine into bottles.

Although they did not understand Su Binglan’s specific arrangements, they knew they were right and would simply follow them. Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were thrilled when they saw Su Binglan.

They thought she had come to tell them she was finally about to open the winery. After all, the construction team had already built the winery, and Su Binglan could open it whenever she was ready.

Su Binglan looked at her eldest uncle and cousin’s bright eyes and could guess their thoughts. She smiled, saying, “Uncle Fengzhang, Cousin Wenxian, I came looking for you to bring you to Willow Village. The Taos have made something cool. We should go and look.”

The father-son duo quickly agreed when they heard that. They also wanted to see what it looked like. After all, it was a good thing to store wine in. The duo tidied up and locked their house door before following Su Binglan into the carriage.

Su Wenxian sat inside and could not help but ask, “When will we open the winery, Cousin Binglan?”

He recalled Su Binglan saying she would immediately open the winery after Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi’s wedding.

She knew Su Wenxian was excited and said smilingly, “How about we start hiring people tomorrow? We’ll set up the winery afterward.”

Su Fengzhang happily slapped his thigh when he heard that. “That’s great! I’ll tell everyone this afternoon when we return to the village.”

Su Wenxian also smiled happily.

Su Binglan added, “This time, we’re hiring only men to work at the winery. It doesn’t matter which village they’re from, so men from all over can come and work there.”

Su Fengmao listened on the sidelines and knew he did not have to worry about anything since Su Binglan would leave his eldest brother and nephew to manage the winery.

Still, he was slightly puzzled, asking, “Binglan, won’t you prioritize our villagers?”
