Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Kang, Qiu He, and Luo Juan had been helping out at the tofu factory. However, Luo Juan and Du Xiaoju made meatballs the hotpot restaurant needed in a separate room at the factory.

If Su Binglan arranged for Luo Juan to stick with her parents, she would have to hire someone else to make the meatballs. Su Binglan needed to arrange these things but could not do everything herself. Instead, she could leave some work for her parents.

Shen Qiuhua said while eating, “You can handle your things, Binglan. Your father and I will handle the factory. Besides, you promoted Liu Qiao to a manager, and she’s capable enough. She’s helping me manage the factory, so I’m much more relaxed. If I promote someone else, they can handle it too.”

“That’s right, my dear daughter,” Su Fengmao added, “What you’re going to do soon must be important, so you can do whatever is necessary.”

The Su family would always support Su Binglan, no matter what she did.

“Little Sister, why did you suddenly think of setting up a cafeteria at the academy?” Su Wenzhe asked curiously.

Su Wenwu also knew about Blue Mountain Academy. He was eating with his head lowered. When he heard his sister’s words, he felt doubtful. He raised his head and asked, “That’s right, Little Sister. Doesn’t Blue Mountain Academy have strict rules?

“Can you set up a cafeteria there? Moreover, most people there are students.

Do they have money to buy food?”

Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and then explained, “We’re not setting up a cafeteria at the academy to make money. I only want to make food more accessible to the students there.

“We’ll make the food there cheap and affordable. We only need to earn enough to cover our capital. That way, many students can eat proper food. We can also sell steamed buns and charge half a copper coin each. The food must be on the cheaper side. That way, everyone can afford to eat.

Even Liu Yinyin was amazed. “Binglan, this way, the students will no longer have to worry about being unable to afford their meals.”

Most students who could attend the academy were from well-to-do families, so they could afford to pay one or two silver taels a month. However, if they went out to buy food daily, one meal would cost a few copper coins, adding up to hundreds of coins a month.

If they could save these few hundred coins, they would be enough to cover the living expenses of an ordinary family for several months.

Shen Qiuhua finally understood what her daughter wanted to do. She said thoughtfully, “I support you, Binglan. So, go do what you want to.”

Su Fengmao nodded. “That’s right. You’re doing a good deed) so I’ll support you too.”

The Su family felt gratified whenever they could do good.

“It’s a good thing the security at the academy is strict,” Su Wenwu said, “Outsiders usually can’t enter without permission. Otherwise, everyone in town would go to the cafeteria to eat if they knew the food there was cheap and delicious.

Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an.

Luo Jin’an understood his wife’s expression and said, “Blue Mountain Academy is stringent. Only the academy’s principal, teachers, students, and managers can eat at the cafeteria. Those not from the academy can’t buy food from the cafeteria. ”

“That would be best.” Su Wenwu nodded.

After dinner, Su Binglan went to Qiu He’s courtyard.

Luo Kang and Qiu He had already finished their meal. When they saw Su Binglan, they quickly got off the brick bed and went to the door, respectfully greeting the young lady, “Hello, Miss Su.”

Su Binglan waved. “I don’t have many rules here. Please, continue with what you were doing. I’m here to arrange for you to do another job.”

“Of course, we’ll listen to you, Miss Su, but what will we do?” Luo Kang asked. His family had been here for a long time, so they knew how good the Su family was and that Su Binglan was kind to everyone.

They were grateful to her from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to work hard with her.

“You should be familiar with Blue Mountain Academy,” Su Binglan said, “I’m planning to set up a cafeteria there. I’ll arrange for you to be in charge, including buying ingredients, cooking, and getting food for the students.

“For now, only you three will do these things. When things are on the right track, you can hire more help.”

The trio was dumbfounded. The family never thought they would never go to Blue Mountain Academy. After all, it was the most famous academy of this generation.

The academy atmosphere was full of knowledge and the fragrance of books. Others could not enter even if they wanted to, but they could go in only to do work.

Although Su Binglan only mentioned opening a cafeteria, the trio was ecstatic. Qiu He suppressed her excitement and said, “Miss Su, what are we going to buy, and what will we do at the academy? What about the price?”

She was excited but still caught the main point.

“Tonight, I’ll teach you how to cook a few simple foods and meat dishes,” Su Binglan said, “I want the food at the cafeteria to be simple and cheap. It doesn’t need to be too complicated, so we’ll make home-cooked dishes. You can even make noodles sometimes.”

Su Binglan told Luo Kang and his family everything about the cafeteria. Then she went to get some ingredients and began to teach the trio how to cook.

Meanwhile, Lin Zheng and Li Shi went to work at the dessert shop after Su Binglan arranged for Zhou Shan to learn how to do things at the hotpot restaurant.

Lin Zheng and Li Shi were preparing to close the shop in the evening when Lin

Zheng asked, “It’s your break day tomorrow, right?”

“That’s right, Lin Zheng,” Li Shi said with a simple and honest smile. “But Zhou Shan has gone to the hotpot restaurant now. Why don’t I come in tomorrow and help out?”

Lin Zheng said, “Master said we should take turns resting. Tomorrow is your day off, so you should take it.” Then he hesitated before continuing, “Let’s go back to the village first.”

After all, he knew about Li Shi’s situation. Lin Zheng, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan were cut from the same cloth and had given up on themselves back then, so they became gangsters.

However, the trio met Su Binglan, and she set them straight. Afterward, the trio was on the right path.

The trio was scorned and looked down on in the past. Now, the trio would no longer experience that. Lin Zheng, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan could walk with their backs straight and heads high.

In the past, even when Li Shi was resting, he would sleep in the dormitory in the backyard. He never returned to the village.

Su Binglan had given him wages and bonuses, but he had saved the rest aside from eating.

“Thank you, Brother Lin Zheng.”

Lin Zheng patted Li Shi’s shoulder and said, “We’re like brothers, so there’s no need to thank me. Master wants you to live a good life too. Stop competing with yourself, Li Shi.”

Lin Zheng had also competed with himself, but after experiencing many things and meeting many people, he began to understand certain principles.

“I understand, but I just can’t get over a hurdle in my heart,” Li Shi said..
