Su Binglan continued, “If that’s the case, more people in our village will learn about medicine, which is good for us.”

Su Wenxiu was ecstatic when he heard that. He did not expect to take in apprentices of his own. He wiped the sweat off his face and said smilingly, “All right, I’ll do it, Little Sister.”

He was sweating all over, even though it was cold. Moreover, his heart was warm, and he did not feel tired. Instead, he felt more energetic than ever. He now profoundly realized that studying medicine could help many more people.

Su Binglan looked at her second brother, who was so busy that sweat covered his forehead. She said, “Second Brother, it’s already noon. Let’s eat first.”

Su Wenxiu was stunned. “Is it already noon?!”

He looked up at the sky and realized it was indeed noon. “Time pa.s.sed so quickly. I felt like it had only been a while.”

“Don’t you feel hungry, Second Brother?” Su Binglan laughed.

After some thought, Su Wenxiu said, “Oh, my dear sister, I didn’t feel hungry when you didn’t mention it. But now, I’m starving.”

“That’s because you’re doing what you like, so you don’t feel time flying by,” Su Binglan explained.

“Yeah, I’ll feel happy every day if it continues like this. I feel energized seeing more medicinal herbs and thinking about curing more people. The people you treated last time told me they were much better when I walked around.” Su Wenxiu continued, “Some couldn’t even leave their house in the past, but now they can walk the streets and talk to people. I’m delighted to see the villagers this way.”

He could talk about these things endlessly.

Su Binglan’s lips curled upward. “It’s all thanks to the herbs you planted, Second Brother. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to provide the villagers with more affordable ones.”

Su Wenxiu scratched the back of his head and smiled embarra.s.sedly at his sister’s compliment.

“Let’s go and have lunch,” Su Binglan said.

“All right.” Su Wenxiu put down his tools and followed his sister into the house.

Su Wenzhe and the others would not be home in the afternoon, so the family had a simple lunch. Shen Qiuhua cooked some rice and then a plate of stir-fried potatoes.

Su Binglan thought of something as she ate and said) “Father, Mother, I foraged many rapeseeds from the back mountain this morning. We can extract oil from them.”

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua stopped eating when they heard their daughter’s words.

“Can you extract oil from rapeseed?”

“What’s a rapeseed?”

The older couple was a little stunned but also excited. The couple wondered if the family would have more oil if they could extract it from rapeseed. If that

were the case, the family would not have to be stingy with oil or go to town to buy more.

Su Binglan explained softly, “Rapeseed is a type of seed produced after the rapeseed matures. We can use this kind of seed to extract oil, similar to peanuts. We can fry them to produce oil. We can also plant their seeds to get more. Rapeseed is also a type of vegetable that we can stir-fry and eat.” “That means it’s a good thing!” Shen Qiuhua exclaimed.

Su Fengmao lowered his head and looked at the ground. “My dear daughter, why don’t I see the rapeseed you mentioned?”

“I put them in the warehouse. There’s much in the big baskets we used to store food. You can go and fry them when you have the time.”

Shen Qiuhua nodded. “Your father and I will get on that as soon as possible. Why don’t we go to town to get some oil first thing in the morning? We should be able to rush home by night.”

Su Binglan recalled her childhood memories and said, “Father, Mother, is the place to get the oil very far away?

“It’s about five or six villages away from ours. We’ll go there to get oil,” Shen Qiuhua explained, “It’s pretty close, now that I think about it. We used to push a small cart in the past, but we have an oxcart now, so it’ll be much easier.”

“We should make oil as soon as possible before winter comes,” Su Fengmao added, “It just so happens that no one will be coming to collect their tofu goods for the next three days. I’ll get Luo Kang to keep an eye on our stock. If people come to collect their goods, he can record them.”

Luo Kang was a steward in a big family, so he knew many things. With him around to help, Su Fengmao had a much easier time dealing with things.

Su Binglan nodded and continued to eat. After a few bites, she said, “I’ll go to town in the afternoon. I’ll take a look at the shop on the east side and buy it early.

“I thought of letting Luo Kang take care of the hotpot restaurant on the west while Third Brother runs the hotpot restaurant on the east. But after some thinking, I decided to let Luo Kang help Father while Baili Jinghua manages the hotpot restaurant in the west.”

“Daughter,” Su Fengmao said, “You can do whatever you want since I can handle everything here. Just let Luo Kang do whatever you want him to do. I can even help you run the hotpot restaurant on the west.

Su Binglan shook her head and said, “Father, you and mother can help me manage the tofu factory in the village.”

She did not want her parents to go to town and work. Her parents had grown accustomed to staying in the village, so they should busy themselves there. That way, the older couple would not have to travel and sacrifice their rest.

“When the tofu factory is on the right track in the future, and everyone is familiar with each other, we can promote another worker into a manager. By then, father and mother can relax.”

“Please don’t, Binglan, “Shen Qiuhua hurriedly spoke up, “I’m already used to helping with managing the factory. I’ll get restless without anything to do.” “Yeah, my dear daughter. If you need something done, just tell me to do it. We feel on edge whenever we’re idle,” Su Fengmao echoed.

Su Binglan looked at her parents’ anxious expressions and smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll open more factories later so you won’t be idle for too long. Even if you do, the factories will be next to our village since the land I bought is nearby.

Su Fengmao heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. So, you bought so much land to build an embroidery shop and more factories?

“Yes, it’s beneficial.”

Su Wenxiu listened while he ate. He did not think studying medicine had much to do with these things. After all, he could not help even if he wanted to.

Su Binglan went to town after eating. Su Wenzhe had brought the desserts Su Binglan made to the shop.

Su Binglan saw many people at the dessert shop when she arrived. Lin Zheng and the rest were busy entertaining their customers when they saw Su Binglan. Lin Zheng got excited and called out to her, “Master!”

The others followed suit, “Boss! h.e.l.lo, Boss!”

Lin Zheng ignored the customers and ran straight to Su Binglan. “Master, we haven’t seen you in a long time.”

“It can’t be that long. I’ve already given you guys your wages and bonuses.”

Lin Zheng chuckled. “Master, when I brought home my bonus these two times, my parents and big brother were shocked. They didn’t expect me to get so many benefits by working for you.”

Whenever Lin Zheng had fresh and delicious food, he would bring them home for his family to try. He even brought them plenty of money.

Su Binglan looked at Lin Zheng and said, “I came to tell you and Li s.h.i.+ to

continue managing the dessert shop because I want Zhou Shan to work at the hotpot restaurant. He needs to learn more..”
