104 Quality Goods Need No Advertising
Liu Yinyin did not know what Su Wenzhe was thinking. She ran in excitedly and looked at Su Wenzhe with teary eyes. “Hubby, you’re awake. That’s great.”
She wanted to hug her husband, but he was eating with a bowl and chopsticks in his hands, so Liu Yinyin could only look at him.
Of course, Su Wenzhe did not notice Liu Yinyin had also changed since he had been away. He only looked at his sister in shock. “I-Is that my sister?”
Liu Yinyin said, “Are you delirious from the fever? Of course, that’s your sister.”
Su Wenzhe stammered, “I-I’m not confused. I was just in disbelief when I saw my little sister doing work and calling you sister-in-law.”
Liu Yinyin wiped her tears and said smilingly, “You don’t know how amazing your little sister is. Our family’s conditions have greatly improved now. It’s all thanks to Binglan that we can earn money now. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t even be here, so we must treat her well.”
Su Wenzhe nodded and said, “That’s only natural. We’ve always treated her well.”
Su Xuehai was still a child, so when he heard his parents’ conversation and looked at his aunt, he echoed, “Let’s treat Aunt Binglan well.”
Liu Yinyin praised, “You’re so obedient and sensible, Xuehai,” then she said to the silent Su Xuexuan, “Xuexuan, remember to treat your aunt well even when you’ve grown up.”
“I know, mother.” Su Xuexuan was six years old. Although he did not talk much, he understood many things.
Su Binglan washed her hands and entered the house. Then she noticed Su Wenzhe was awake, so she said, “Oh, you’re awake, Big Brother.”
Su Wenzhe was still in shock as he nodded blankly, “Y-Yes, I’m up. Thank you, Little Sister.”
Su Binglan instinctively took Su Wenzhe’s hand and checked his pulse. “Yeah, you look fine. You should be better after some more rest.”
Su Wenzhe’s condition was not a big deal, so he would be fine soon after ingesting some spiritual spring water and medicine to recuperate.
After Su Binglan checked his pulse, she began to busy herself with making some more candied chestnuts. After all, she still needed to set up her stall for the night market.
Su Binglan was very busy, and her family pitied her. However, Su Binglan felt that the days she spent earning money for her family were quite fulfilling. She simply enjoyed this simple and delightful time.
…
When Su Binglan went to town to sell more candied chestnuts, Lin Zheng excitedly said, “Boss, I’ve found a few shops for you to check out. Then you can choose whichever one you want to rent. This location is a little better, and it’s a big shop, but it costs three silver taels a month.
“Those two locations are decent, and it’s not too far away. That one cost two silver taels a month to rent, and the backyard is just big enough, but there’s a well in it.
“This one is a little far from where we are, and it costs one silver tael a month. The yard is enormous, and there are many rooms in it. There’s also a well, but it’s a distance away,” Lin Zheng told his boss about a few shops at a time.
Su Binglan smiled and said, “Sure. You’re pretty efficient, huh? You did all that scouting in just one day.”
Lin Zheng chuckled and said, “I was just afraid you would be anxious, Boss.”
Su Binglan carefully considered her choices and said, “This one is decent. It’s about the size of two shops. The backyard has several rooms, and there is also a well.”
The shop was at the westernmost end of Tenghe town. It was remote but close to the village. People had to pass through that area if they needed to get from the quiet village to the bustling town and vice versa.
Su Binglan would need to buy land in that area in the future if she wanted to build real estate and business districts. From a long-term perspective, the new shop’s location was an excellent place to start. The rent was cheap too.
Whenever the Su family made more money, they could buy all the houses in the area and rebuild them together.
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Let’s go with this one because the rent is cheap. Although it’s a little remote, quality goods need no advertising.”
Su Binglan was confident with her tofu and the desserts she would make. She believed the townsfolk and villagers were willing to walk to her shop to buy the foods she made.
