Su Binglan told Shen Qiuhui about all her plans in detail. He sighed, “You’ve considered everything, haven’t you? 1 would never think of such details. That way, the surrounding villagers will be more willing to settle down here.”

Ordinary villagers valued land very much. They would feel uneasy, even if there were factories and shops to work in. The villagers felt secure with the land, even if they did not plant much.

Su Binglan understood everyone’s thoughts. Even Su Fengmao thought similarly. That was why Su Binglan bought the surrounding thousand acres of barren land.

The villagers could buy houses and land in the vicinity. It would be convenient for work and farming.

“I made these arrangements because I considered everyone’s thoughts.” Su Binglan talked to her uncle all morning. Shen Qiuhui felt he benefited greatly from just one morning with his niece.

At noon, the family returned home for lunch. Su Binglan took her uncle to Su Wenwu’s new shop when they passed the staff dormitory. Many people were queueing up at the pancake shop next door.

Su Binglan bought a few multi- grain pancakes from Old Madam Yang and gave one to Shen Qiuhui. The latter had not eaten multi- grain pancakes yet, even though he had been in Su Teng Village for a few days.

He became hungry when he smelled the fragrance. Immediately after, he ate the pancake and exclaimed, “It’s delicious!”

Shen Qiuhui ate as he walked. After eating half of it, he said, “All the food in Su Teng Village and Tenghe Town is delicious. Every dish tastes unique.”

He could not believe how many delicacies Su Teng Village had. It turned out even multi- grain pancakes could taste so good. He felt he had broadened his horizons significantly after coming to Su Teng Village.

Shen Qiuhui looked at the house behind and asked, “What is this place?” “It’s the staff dormitory,” Su Binglan said, “I brought you here to show it to you.”

Shen Qiuhui was stunned. “Is this place for the embroidery shop workers to live?”

“Yes, Uncle Quihui. Most of the employees live in villages far from Su Teng Village. They can stay in the dormitory if the weather prevents them from returning home.”

The dormitory was empty since it was the holidays. Of course, there was another empty dormitory building that Su Binglan showed her uncle. His eyes lit up when he saw it. He said, “You can build such tall structures like these?!”

“Yes, it saves space and can accommodate many people. An inn can accommodate many guests if they build it like this. Some rooms can fit four beds—some have bunk beds and eight tables in the middle. Everyone will have a table and cabinet beside them.

Shen Qiuhui exclaimed, ” That’s so convenient!”

Su Binglan raised a brow when she heard her uncle’s words. She said, “We can build a hotel here.’

“Aren’t there wineries in hotels?”

“It’s an inn.” Su Bingfeng smiled. “That way, people from other places can stay here for vacations.’

Shen Qiuhui clapped. “That’s an excellent idea, Binglan. Every idea of yours is a money-making one. You’re brilliant.”

He felt that although her ideas were simple, no one would ever consider things like how Su Binglan did. She had an idea as soon as Shen Quihui opened his mouth.

“When this place develops, there will be many delicious and novel things to eat and places to shop. At that time, even businessmen will come for leisure. If that’s the case, they must stay at an inn. That’s why it’ll be wise to open one here,’

That way, the supporting facilities were almost complete. By then, Su Binglan could develop a tourist site. Her heart felt warm whenever she considered these things.

Shen Qiuhui was still ecstatic when they returned for lunch. His mind raced with thoughts of shipping new goods to the capital. He knew it would cause a sensation. By then, everyone would fight over the delicious food.

After lunch, Su Wenwu returned to his new shop with Shen Mohen, while Su Wenxiu went to sort his medicinal herbs and tend to house calls.

Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe stayed home with their two sons since Blue

Mountain Academy would only resume lessons after the Lantern Festival.

Su Wenzhe grew bored and asked, “Sister, is there anything you need help with? If you do, let me know.”

Su Binglan replied, “l plan to make glutinous rice balls this afternoon. We’ll eat dumplings on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.”

Su Wenzhe perked up when his sister said she would make some food. “Will we make the rice balls ourselves?”

“Yes, we’ll make the best ones around.” Su Binglan planned to add her spiritual spring water to the dish to make it taste better. Moreover, she could adjust the sweetness of the sesame or peanuts herself. That way, it would suit her taste.

“Of course, it’ll be delicious when you make it,” Su Wenzhe happily said. He enjoyed cooking together as a family. He thought it was a wonderful thing.

In the past, he would not be willing to buy more than just a little glutinous rice ball during the first month of the year. He would only buy a little, and each person ate two.

However, he could eat as many glutinous rice balls as he liked. Therefore, he was in high spirits. “Sister, how do we make glutinous rice balls?”

Su Binglan noticed her brother’s enthusiasm and said, “It’s simple, so we can make more. Then, we can send some to Grandpa and Granduncle Su. That way, they won’t have to buy them.”

Now that the Su family’s conditions were much better, Su Binglan was willing to cook for the entire family.

Su Wenzhe preferred eating alongside his family. He thought the food tasted better that way. “Grandpa and the others will be thrilled. The glutinous rice balls you make will be better than the ones people can buy elsewhere.” Liu Yinyin said excitedly, “Let me help, too, Binglan.”

“All right, let’s make them together.” Su Wenzhe went to get some rice.

“Big Brother, you need to soak the rice for two to three hours to make glutinous rice balls.”

“Do we need that much time to prepare the rice?”

“Yes, we also need to prepare the fillings for it. Get some sesame seeds and peanuts.. What other fillings do you want to try?”
