Su Wenxiu said, “Indeed, the cold noodles are excellent. Our food street has many delicacies but not Liangpi. These taste amazing and are suitable for summer.”
Su Binn was delighted that her family enjoyed her food. “Since you think so highly of the Liangpi, I’ll make more next time.”<div>
Fortunately, she had made plenty of cold noodles. Everyone had a big serving and had enough to fill their stomachs.
Shen Qiuhua smiled as she ate. “It’s good to have you back, Binn. If only
Wenwu were here, too.’
Su Binn had also thought of her third brother. It had been a long time since shest saw Su Wenwu, so she missed him a lot. Fortunately, the two often wrote to each other.
Su Binn said, “Wenwu can’t eat Liangpi with us, and it’s hotter in the south. He probably has to stay for a long time. I n to open a Liangpi factory and then send some to Wenwu. He can cook it on his own then.’
Su Fengmao raised his brow. “If you’re opening another factory, let me help you.”
Su Binn smiled. “It’s okay. It’ll be as straightforward as the tofu shop. It’s not thatplicated. You and Mother need to rest more.”
Su Fengmao thought of the popsicles and said, “The popsicles you sent us were delicious.’
Su Binn could not help butugh at her father’s sudden change of topic. She said, “l returned home to open a popsicle factory as soon as possible. I’ll also open a Liangpi factory and skincare product factory.”
Now that things had be stable and peaceful, the factories could transport their products country-wide. Su Binn believed her popsicles, Liangpi, and skincare products would be famous.
“You had Xueye build several factories before,” Su Fengmao said, “Were those for backup?”<div>
Su Binn nodded. “Yeah, that’s right. I knew we’d open more factories, so I told Xueye to continue building a few just in case.”
Shen Qiuhua could not help but praise Su Xueye, “He’s such a capable and talented boy. He has so many people on his team, and they have supervisors. The supervisors only need to report to Xueye, and he doesn’t have to do much himself.
“That way, he can do many other things like take on more projects and further his studies. Some prominent families have also hired his teams to build their factories.
“There are new factories east of Tenghe Town. Some make spices, and some process paper into notebooks. They’re all very profitable.”
Su Fengmao added, “Some of the businessmen who cooperate with us say they’ve set up factories in their local area to make dried fruits and other snacks.
“Since the factories are in the vige, they hire the vigers. The businessmen told me they learned a lot from us. They hired the vigers to help them build better lives.’
Su Binn became wide-eyed, saying, “That’s excellent news. Now, the country will develop even faster. Still, farming is crucial.”
Su Fengmao said, “The emperor encourages everyone to farm and has issued many beneficial policies. Everyone values theirnd even more now. The farmers are still interested in growing crops. With food andnd, they won’t have to worry.”
Su Wenxiu understood his sister’s worries, saying, “I heard many people are nting grain in various ces now. They’re also reiming plenty of wastnds. You don’t have to worry about that, Sister.”
Su Binn ate her Liangpi and said, “Yeah, the yield of wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes will be high this year. The government will purchase some at market price and distribute them to farmers who don’t have such things.
“Soon, our country will have more food, and everyone can eat their fill.” Su Binn had to consider the country’s situation for Lan Ruozhu’s sake.<div>
The family chatted as they finished their food.
“The food was delicious, Sister!” Su Wenzhe was satisfied after eating. He felt stuffed and rxed.
Liu Yinyin looked at her children’s bowls and realized how much they had eaten. Since they were still children, Su Binn did not give them big servings. Although she gave them half portions, it was still a lot.
Liu Yinyin was worried her two sons would not finish their food, but they did. She was delighted, saying, “l didn’t expect you two to eat so much.”
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “They ate so well. Those two have been eating less since the holidays.”
“Maybe because it’s summer,” Liu Yinyin said, “Since we don’t have much of an appetite, 1 doubt the kids do.”
Su Binn said, “Since it’s hot, we should eat something light. If it tastes
good, it’ll improve our appetite.”
Liu Yinyin nodded and said, “Yeah, just like this Liangpi. I ate so much without realizing it. A big bowl of it is twice my usual appetite.”
She was not exaggerating when she said that. After all, the dish was so delicious that she could not stop eating.
Su Wenzhe said, “l couldn’t stop eating, either.”<div>
The familyughed when he said that. Afterward, Su Binn helped to clean up the dishes. Although summer days were long, no one was rushing to sleep because Su Binn and Luo Jin’an had finally returned.
The whole family was thrilled and excited, so they went to the courtyard to enjoy the breeze. The wind blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness with it.
Shen Qiuhua sat on the recliner and fanned herself with a cattail leaf fan. “It’s so much cooler at night because of the breeze.”
Su Binn looked at the stars and moon in the night sky. She could see the Big Dipper. The family could hear faint noises outside as they sat in the courtyard.
“People are also enjoying the breeze at their front door,” Su Fengmao said, “Since it’s summer, people only sleep at midnight.”
The family discussed the changes in Su Teng Vige, and Su Binn told them about the capital, “l opened several factories in the capital. Newspapers are popr over there. People can learn about recent events by reading it.
“Milk tea and popsicles are popr there, too. We can open a milk tea factory here, too.’
Shen Qiuhua asked, “If that’s the case, we’ll have to open several factories simultaneously. Can we handle so many new ones? We’ll need to hire so many people in one go.
“Still, the vigers will be pleased if we do that. People from other counties and viges will want to work here. Some moved their families here just to find jobs.”
Liu Yinyin added, “No wonder I saw more people in town. Nheless, it’s pretty lively over there. I like ces like that.”
Su Wenxiu thought of something and said, “By the way, Yang Xiao came to deliver medicinal herbs just now. He told me that the conditions in his vige have improved exponentially.
“That’s because of the massive herb factory and hot spring vi you designed, Sister.”
Su Binn had almost forgotten about that.. “They finished building the hot spring vi?”
