Lan Ruozhu said, “It’ll be much easier to buy and sell everything that way. I could feel the benefits of river transportation when 1 was in Tenghe Town. Many merchants visit by boat quickly and conveniently.”
Su Binglan said, “Yeah, many merchants who work with my family choose to transport their goods by river. There’s a huge profit margin for it.”
If Lan Ruozhu could do the same, he would not need to worry about money problems, even if it was just from Dingzhou to Bianzhou. If he controlled Chu Country’s logistic routes, he could control the country’s lifeline.
By then, no one could compete with Lan Ruozhu. Perhaps there would no longer be a need to fight.
Lan Ruozhu knew he had to settle these things as soon as possible.
After staying in the prefecture for quite some time, Su Binglan bid farewell to her brother. After all, the farming season in Su Teng Village was about to start. She also planned to bring Su Yi and Su Chun back.
Although Lan Ruozhu was reluctant for his sister to leave, he knew she had responsibilities to attend to. He would support his sister in everything as long as she was happy.
“Come back and visit whenever you have the time. This place will always be your home. I’ll send you food and things when we finish building the delivery ports and establishing the routes.”
Su Binglan could feel her brother’s concern for her. She felt a warmth in her heart as she said, “l don’t lack anything, Brother. It’ll be more convenient for me to send you food instead.
“Su Teng Village has so many innovative things and plenty of food. If I come up with new delicacies, I won’t have to worry about them spoiling on the way.”
Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu had planned to offer two delivery speeds for the services. One would be regular delivery, and the other would be express delivery.
Nonetheless, Lan Ruozhu became teary-eyed as he watched his sister leave in the carriage. Ji Xingye looked at the prince’s expression. The former did not want the princess to leave, either.
Ji Xingye enjoyed his time with Su Binglan, especially since he got to eat her delicious food. Of course, he knew Su Binglan was married and did not want Lan Ruozhu to misunderstand his intentions. Ji Xingye only wanted the princess’s food.
Lan Ruozhu only retracted his gaze after the carriage disappeared from his sight. He sighed and said, “She’s all grown up now. It’s fine as long as she’s happy.
“l must work hard to give her a peaceful environment to do whatever she wants. General Xingye, let’s head to my study to discuss our next move.”
Upon hearing the prince’s solemn words, Ji Xingye stood at attention and said, “Right away, Your Highness!”
Su Binglan, Su Yi, and Su Chun headed toward Su Teng Village. On the way, Su
Binglan put all the things her brother had given her into her pocket dimension. Then, the trio rode on their horses.
They could see hotpot restaurants and cured meat restaurants during their journey back. When they arrived at one of the cities, Su Binglan got off the horse and said, “Let’s have lunch here.’
The trio walked on the street and saw Su’s Hotpot, Su’s Cured Meats, and Su’ s Mala Hotpot.
Su Binglan could not help but laugh. She did not expect Su Wenwu to arrange for someone to open a mala hotpot restaurant in the south. Indeed, it was not a bad idea as these restaurants were popular.
When the trio previously traveled to the prefecture, they moved so fast that they did not notice these restaurants. Su Chun said, “Master, there are so many of Su Teng Village’s delicacies here.”
“Look, they have Family-Style Dumplings here, too.”
Su Binglan was stunned for a moment. She remembered this shop being a regular dumpling restaurant when she first visited.
‘Did they change the restaurant’s name?’
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an had eaten a plate of dumplings here last year. Su Binglan raised her brows when she remembered that moment. She missed her husband and wondered what he was doing at the moment.
‘He’d probably return as soon as he completes his tasks.’
“Let’s eat here. This restaurant makes pretty good dumplings.”
“All right, we’ll take your word for it, Master.” Su Chun was livelier, while Su
Yi was the quiet type. Still, they listened to their master and followed her into
the dumpling restaurant.
The restaurant had many tables because of how popular it was. Previously, it was a family of three who worked here. Now, Su Binglan saw two others helping.
“Give us a plate of dumplings, will you?”
“All right, coming right up, ma’am.”
Su Chun then noticed the variety of dumplings the restaurant served. “Hmm? Are there cucumber and egg dumplings here? I see carrot and egg dumplings, too.”
He had never seen such dumplings in Su Teng Village or Tenghe Town. Although the two places also served various dumplings, he had never seen the ones this restaurant served.
When the youth from before saw Su Binglan, he became excited, exclaiming, “Is that you, Miss Su?!”
Su Binglan looked at the young man and smiled. She did not think he would still recognize her.
“Welcome back, Miss Su!” The youth was so excited that he spoke incoherently, “Father, Mother…”
“Shh.” Su Binglan hurriedly stopped him. “There are still customers here.
Don’t cause a scene.”
The young man nodded, and the trio made their orders, “I’ll try that cucumber egg dumpling. ”
Su Yi nodded. “I’ll have that, too.’
The youth noted down their orders and hurried to the back to tell his parents about Su Binglan’s return. Soon after, the youth’s parents came out of the kitchen.
The family of three was highly grateful to Su Binglan. After all, she had cured the youth’s father’s heart disease. She was their benefactor, and they felt they could never thank her enough.
“It was nothing. There’s no need to thank me. I noticed your business is going quite well.” Su Binglan noticed many more tables in the shop. Still, it was spotless and tidy. She knew the family was capable of handling their restaurant well.
The youth’s mother said, “It’s all thanks to you, Miss Su. We wouldn’t have been able to handle all this without your help. We never dared to let my husband work too hard in the past.
“You helped my husband and even prescribed medicine to him. My husband has completely recovered now. Even the local doctor found it miraculous.”
The youth’s father said, “That’s why I dare to work harder now. Yang Hua’s uncle and my sister-in-law are helping us, too.”
Soon after, Yang Hua’s parents went to make the trio’s orders—however, the husband and wife to their son to entertain Su Binglan and her companions.
“Master, that young man is in extraordinary shape. He’s suitable for martial arts training,” Su Yi whispered while eating.
Su Binglan raised a brow, saying, “l heard your parents calling you Yang Hua.
That’s your name, right?”
“Yes, it is, Miss…Su.”
“You don’t have to be nervous. It was just a simple question. Do you have any younger siblings?” Su Binglan smiled.
“l have a two-year-old brother and a sister, but they’re in my hometown now.
Grandpa and Grandma help look after them.”
Su Binglan became curious and pondered momentarily..
