Chapter 794: Grain Processing Plant

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: Endlessæantasy Translation

Su Binglan thought, ‘If the villagers grew more food, they could store them for emergencies. In the future, Dingzhou will have more food to purchase.’

Even if the villagers sold their extra food, they would still have enough to eat. Hence, there would be more food in the markets for people to buy, too. If the market were stable, the price would not rise.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “We can set up a grain processing plant.” Liu Yinyin asked, “Binglan, will the processing plant improve the grains?”

“That’s right. We can separate excellent and inferior rice and then bag them to sell at different grades. Of course, the better rice will be slightly more expensive.

“The same goes for wheat flour that we use to make noodles. We can also process corn into corn flour and so on.”

Su Wenzhe said, “That sounds simple. There are shops in town that sell grains like that.”

Su Binglan shook her head. “It’s not the same. I’ll use another method to keep the process between us. I’ll process it so that it’ll be easier to store and sell.”

She had another idea, which was to get Lan Ruozhu to set up the processing plant. If the plant belonged to him, so would most of the grain in Dingzhou and the border province.

That way, he would have an easier time regulating the market. He also would not have to worry about grain shortage or rise in prices. There was also no need to worry about merchants illegally raising prices.

With that idea in mind, Su Binglan planned to write a letter to her brother tonight.

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua were pretty excited. They would feel more at ease with a grain processing plant in the village.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan considered keeping a portion of everything food-related in her pocket dimension. She also suspected her pocket dimension had grown.

Therefore, she could store more seeds, grains, and food there for emergencies.

Shen Qiuhua said, “I’ll support you no matter what you do.”

“Me, too,” Su Fengmao added.

Su Wenzhe raised his hand. “Me, too, Sister!”

Liu Yiunyin nodded. “I’ll support you too.”

Even Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai, who did not know much, raised their hands.

Su Wenxiu said, “Sister, you’ve always supported my dreams, so I’ll return the favor.’

Su Binglan smiled. “Thank you, everyone.”

She felt she had the strength to do anything with her family’s support. She also felt her actions were meaningful because she had love,

As if she had thought of something, Su Binglan said, ‘Xueye and his team have finished building the shopping mall, academy, and everything else on the commercial street. I’m about to rent out those shops and sell the residential houses there.’

“How will you rent those shops, Sister? Will you put notices outside? Can we find someone in town who specializes in these things to help us find tenants?”

Su Binglan answered, “Yeah, we can hire someone to help with that. However, some shops can only sell meats, a few will sell daily necessities, and the rest will sell vegetables. I have requirements for each section of the commercial street. ”

She showed the family her blueprint as she continued, “Look, here’s the food street, so the shops on either side can only sell food and snacks.”

Liu Yinyin finally had a visual idea of what her sister-in-law meant. “So, that’s what you mean.”

“Yes, that’s it. I’ll first ask the tenants what they intend to sell in each shop before pointing them to the right one. I’ll divide them into different places, depending on what they sell.

“Right here is the market where people can sell eggs, meat, fruits, vegetables, and more. The mall will be here selling items such as clothes, sweaters, down jackets, etc.”

Su Binglan explained her specific plans for the commercial street, and the Su family was amazed. They always learned many things whenever she was around.

They were not like before when they had trouble understanding some of her vocabulary.

“Next, we must advertise the residential houses,” Su Binglan said.

Shen Qiuhua asked, “How do we do that? Will we also hire someone to do that?”

Su Binglan smiled, saying, “Now that I have a production team, who else would be more efficient than them?”

Shen Qiuhua lit up. “So, you’ll let your production team handle that? If that’s the case, a lot of people will know about the residential houses. The entire town and people in the surrounding villages will know about the houses.” “That is correct.” Su Binglan nodded.

Su Fengmao clapped and said, “That is an excellent idea, Daughter. Your publicity skills are perfect. I remember how crowded it was during the first play that happened in Su Teng Market.”

Although some sat too far from the stage at that time, they still enjoyed the show. Since the villagers did not have much in terms of entertainment, they were grateful just to be there.

Since the play went exceedingly well, people would undoubtedly watch it again. Su Binglan said, “When the time comes, I’ll get Su Yi to get a few stewards to help me. After all, there are too many houses and shops to deal with.’

Su Wenzhe was still a little worried, “l wonder if anyone would rent your shops. How much is the rent, Sister?”

On the contrary, Su Binglan did not look concerned about it. She said,

“Although we have so many shops and houses, there are so many people, too. Those who can cook will be willing to rent a shop to make a living.

“Also, I’ll offer a year’s worth of free rent and only start collecting payment in the tenant’s second year. The small shops will only cost half a silver tael a month, and the larger ones will be one silver.”

Su Wenzhe was stunned. “If the first year is free, people will be flocking to rent your shops. Those who visit our village will also think of ways to get a shop here. I can imagine how famous the commercial street will be.”

Su Binglan said, “Still, we must continue reviewing those who rent our shops. Their food must be safe and clean. The person in charge must also be of good character.’

She had built the commercial street to give people better lives. She did not want troublemakers occupying the place..
