Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone was curious as they carried shopping baskets around the supermarket. When they met their friends inside, they discussed the supermarket with each other.

“It’s so convenient now that we have a supermarket in town.”

“I didn’t know this is what it looked like inside. There’s such a wide variety of items, too.”

“I just came to take a look around. I didn’t expect the meat here to be so cheap. I’ll buy five hundred grams of it to cook later.”

“I wanted to buy some fresh vegetables, but I didn’t think it’d be so cheap. The vegetables look so fresh, and so do the eggs.”

“Yeah, my sister used to set up a stall to sell eggs, but she no longer has to do that. Instead, she can just sell her eggs to the supermarket, and they will resell them at a fair price.”

“I heard about that, too. We could sell several items when we opened stalls here last time. Now we no longer have to spend all day selling goods ourselves. We can just sell them to the supermarket.”

“Two of my neighbors from my hometown work in this supermarket. Apparently, the owner pays significant wages. My neighbors can feel more at ease with how much they earn.”

Everyone smiled as they chatted, knowing the supermarket would only benefit them.

“Don’t forget about the abandoned shops on the street. The Wei family bought them. I heard they’ll rebuild it and hire people to work for them.”

“The Wei family is full of kind-hearted people. The more villagers they hire, the more people they can help. We can earn an excellent living if we can work for the Wei family.”

Everyone was grateful to the Wei family for everything they did for the country and its people.

After establishing the supermarket, Su Binglan arranged for her subordinates to open a hotpot restaurant, a kebab shop, and a mala hotpot restaurant. She intended to introduce many delicacies to the border province for everyone to enjoy.

Meanwhile, she was still preparing to set up a business district near Black Mountain Village. Once she established the business district, it would drive the border province’s economic and trade development.

Su Binglan used the same model as Su Teng Village and tasked Wei Shi with forming a construction team. She then designed all the buildings and passed them to Wei Shi to build.

Wei Shi was a member of the Wei family and was proficient in construction. Hence, he soon trained his team well and built the houses and restaurants in Black Mountain Village.

Su Binglan trusted Wei Shi to handle these things because she had witnessed his capabilities before.

Wei Shi was excited when he saw Su Binglan’s designs and listened to her plans. He knew the entire village and town would develop perfectly if he followed her lead.

He thought Black Mountain Village and Black Mountain Town would become the most prosperous places in the border province.

The village would become prosperous soon, and the business district would be near the houses, making it convenient for the people to do anything. Everyone could benefit just by relying on this geographical location.

Wei Shi said, “Don’t worry, Madam Binglan. I’ll lead my team well in building these shops and houses.”

Su Binglan nodded. “You might not have seen Su Teng Village, but the layout here will be pretty much the same. Su Teng Village’s business district is prosperous now.

“I want to do the same for Black Mountain Village. I’ll even open a few factories in the surrounding areas when the time comes. I’ll also teach everyone how to grow vegetables in a greenhouse.”

Su Binglan still thought that establishing the business district was not enough. She also wanted to give the border province economic strength to develop. If there were greenhouses for vegetables, foreign merchants would buy them from there.

Although she also planned to build factories near Black Mountain Village, she wanted to visit Black Mountain Forest to see what she could find first. Then, she would know what kind of factories to build.

Meanwhile, Wei Shi did not know what a greenhouse was. Even so, he felt he did not need to know everything. Instead, he just needed to do whatever Su Binglan instructed him to.

We Shi knew Su Binglan was strong and capable. After all, he would not have opened a restaurant and a dumpling shop if it were not for her. Moreover, his businesses went exceedingly well.

Some of the customers even ate at the restaurant just for the wine that had come from Su Teng Village. Wei Shi knew Su Binglan was the one who developed such exquisite wine.

‘Madam Binglan has invented many delicacies, a new paper-making method, and printing. I’m not the only one who admires Madam Binglan—everyone else, including the students, does, too.’

Wei Shi had read many articles about people expressing their gratitude to Su Binglan. He felt a sense of pride when he read the people’s praises for her.

After leaving her subordinates in charge of things, Su Binglan visited Black Mountain Forest with her husband. Since she had found hawthorns there before, she hoped to find other unique things.

This time, Su Binglan was excited when she found strawberries. Her eyes lit up as she pointed and said, “Jin’an, look! Those are strawberries!”

“These red things are strawberries?” Luo Jin’an had never seen those fruits before. Even the fruits others had gifted him never looked like that.

Su Binglan plucked a strawberry and handed it to her husband. “Yeah, that’s what they are. Here, have a taste.”

Not only were the strawberries big, but they were also red and ripe. After passing one to Luo Jin’an, she ate one herself, too. She became wide-eyed, saying, “It’s sweeter than I thought!”

Luo Jin’an took a bite and was surprised. After all, he had never eaten such a sweet and juicy fruit before. He felt refreshed after eating just one.

Su Binglan asked, “So? What do you think?”

“You’re right, it’s delicious,” Luo Jin’an said, “I bet a lot of people will like these.”

Su Binglan nodded. “You’re right. Maybe I can teach the villagers how to grow these in the greenhouses. That way, there will be strawberries all year round. It’ll become the border’s specialty.

“People can use them in pastries or even eat them whole. Since the redness is so vibrant, people can also pack them into a gift box and give it to their loved ones.”

Su Binglan then began plucking the strawberries excitedly. Although the couple collected two full baskets of strawberries, there were still more. Since that was the case, Su Binglan plucked the rest and stored them in her pocket dimension.
