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 Binglan was delighted that her family enjoyed her food. Since you think so highly of the Liangpi, Ill make more next time.

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. Its good to have you back, Binglan. If only

Wenwu were here, too.

Su Binglan had also thought of her third brother. It had been a long time since she last saw Su Wenwu, so she missed him a lot. Fortunately, the two often wrote to each other.

Su Binglan said, Wenwu cant eat Liangpi with us, and its hotter in the south. He probably has to stay for a long time. I plan 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 youre opening another factory, let me help you.

Su Binglan smiled. Its okay. Itll be as straightforward as the tofu shop. Its not that complicated. You and Mother need to rest more.

Su Fengmao thought of the popsicles and said, The popsicles you sent us were delicious.

Su Binglan could not help but laugh at her fathers sudden change of topic. She said, l returned home to open a popsicle factory as soon as possible. Ill also open a Liangpi factory and skincare product factory.

Now that things had become stable and peaceful, the factories could transport their products country-wide. Su Binglan believed her popsicles, Liangpi, and skincare products would be famous.

You had Xueye build several factories before, Su Fengmao said, Were those for backup?

Su Binglan nodded. Yeah, thats right. I knew wed open more factories, so I told Xueye to continue building a few just in case.

Shen Qiuhua could not help but praise Su Xueye, Hes 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 doesnt 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. Theyre all very profitable.

Su Fengmao added, Some of the businessmen who cooperate with us say theyve set up factories in their local area to make dried fruits and other snacks.

Since the factories are in the village, they hire the villagers. The businessmen told me they learned a lot from us. They hired the villagers to help them build better lives.

Su Binglan became wide-eyed, saying, Thats 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 their land even more now. The farmers are still interested in growing crops. With food and land, they wont have to worry.

Su Wenxiu understood his sisters worries, saying, I heard many people are planting grain in various places now. Theyre also reclaiming plenty of wastelands. You dont have to worry about that, Sister.

Su Binglan 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 dont have such things.

Soon, our country will have more food, and everyone can eat their fill. Su Binglan had to consider the countrys situation for Lan Ruozhus sake.

The family chatted as they finished their food.

The food was delicious, Sister! Su Wenzhe was satisfied after eating. He felt stuffed and relaxed.

Liu Yinyin looked at her childrens bowls and realized how much they had eaten. Since they were still children, Su Binglan 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 didnt 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 its summer, Liu Yinyin said, Since we dont have much of an appet.i.te, 1 doubt the kids do.

Su Binglan said, Since its hot, we should eat something light. If it tastes

good, itll improve our appet.i.te.

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 appet.i.te.

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 couldnt stop eating, either.

The family laughed when he said that. Afterward, Su Binglan helped to clean up the dishes. Although summer days were long, no one was rus.h.i.+ng to sleep because Su Binglan and Luo Jinan 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. Its so much cooler at night because of the breeze.

Su Binglan 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 its summer, people only sleep at midnight.

The family discussed the changes in Su Teng Village, and Su Binglan told them about the capital, l opened several factories in the capital. Newspapers are popular over there. People can learn about recent events by reading it.

Milk tea and popsicles are popular there, too. We can open a milk tea factory here, too.

Shen Qiuhua asked, If thats the case, well have to open several factories simultaneously. Can we handle so many new ones? Well need to hire so many people in one go.

Still, the villagers will be pleased if we do that. People from other counties and villages 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. Nonetheless, its pretty lively over there. I like places 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 village have improved exponentially.

Thats because of the ma.s.sive herb factory and hot spring villa you designed, Sister.

Su Binglan had almost forgotten about that.. They finished building the hot spring villa?
