Chapter 492: A Barrier

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Blue Mountain Academy students discussed the food they could eat at the new cafeteria. Some would even explain the situation to those who did not understand how the cafeteria worked.

Everyone went to the cafeteria, which looked lively. Su Binglan smiled faintly when she noticed everyone’s expressions and listened to their discussions.

‘It seems the students will no longer starve with the cafeteria around. They can even eat a steamed bun to fill their stomachs, even though it’s such a simple thing.’

Su Binglan had not visited the academy for a long time, but she felt better seeing the improvements there. That was because she had built the academy when she lived as Lan Ruobing. Therefore, she naturally hoped the academy would develop well.

Although she had only recovered some of her memories from when she was Lan Ruobing, it was enough for her to know many things.

She held Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai’s hands and said, “Is the food in the cafeteria delicious?”

“It’s delicious and different every day.” Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai both ate well. In addition, they often drank spiritual spring water, so they both looked outstanding.

Their voices were crisp and clear when they spoke, and Su Xuehai looked incredibly adorable.

Su Xuexuan added, ‘Aunt Binglan, everyone says the food in the cafeteria is delicious and talks about how good you are.”

Su Binglan smiled lightly and patted the little one’s head. She did not intend for everyone to be grateful to her because she did not want the students to know that she had developed the cafeteria.

However, she did not expect Luo Kang and the others to tell the students about it.

Su Binglan brought her two nephews to the cafeteria to eat, and some students saw her on the way.

Everyone excitedly called out to her, “Miss Su, Miss Su!”

The students were ecstatic when they saw her. It was as if they had seen their idol, and their eyes were shining. Su Binglan was not used to such a thing and felt like a celebrity.

Nonetheless, she smiled and greeted everyone, “Hurry up and eat at the cafeteria. The food will get cold if you’re late.”

Everyone responded well to her. “Miss Su, we’re not in a hurry. There will be enough food even if we’re the last to arrive. Mr. Luo and Mrs. Qiu always make enough food for everyone.”

“We can all eat hot, fresh food now, thanks to you, Miss Su. We couldn’t focus on our studies in the past because of our empty stomachs.”

“Yeah! We can all eat our fill now and have enough energy to listen to our teachers’ lessons.’

“Also, Mr. Luffs cooking is delicious. We can also try foods others can’t, like potato pancakes and tofu.”

“The food I like most is stinky tofu. Although it tastes strange, it’s too fragrant and delicious to resist. It’s that we can only eat that once every few days.

Everyone looks forward to eating stinky tofu.”

The stinky tofu sold at the cafeteria was cheaper than the ones outside, as Su Binglan was the one who priced the food in the cafeteria. She did that so that the students could eat better food.

Several other places in town also sold stinky tofu, and business was booming.

Song Yi was responsible for delivering stock to these stalls daily. However, the stinky tofu sold at these stalls was naturally more expensive than the ones the cafeteria sold.

Initially, Su Binglan wanted to set up a cafeteria to make things convenient for the students. Since she had the money from her many businesses, she wanted to do good things with it.

However, she had just confirmed that she had lived as Lan Ruobing, so she knew she should do whatever Lan Ruobing wanted to.

Su Binglan smiled, saying, “Everyone should be able to eat and study well. If you continue learning, it will only benefit your future greatly.”

She suddenly felt she could open more businesses.

‘If these students don’t want to take the imperial examinations, they can display their talents in my businesses. I must study this more carefully. I wonder if the academy can also offer some skill courses.’

Su Binglan thought of these things as she entered the cafeteria for the first time. The cafeteria had many tables and chairs for everyone to sit on. Meanwhile, Luo Kang, Qiu He, and Luo Juan were busy at the back.

They had even hired two more women to help. Now, the five of them could work every day. The two helpers’ main job was to ensure enough rice for everyone, which was not complicated.

They also learned that having two meat, two vegetables, and staple food daily was more straightforward.

Luo Kang and the others were thrilled when they saw Su Binglan. Especially

Luo Juan because she admired Su Binglan the most. She also had not seen Su Binglan for a long time.

“Miss Su, you’re here.”

Su Binglan asked smilingly, “Have you adapted well to working here?”

Luo Juan nodded happily, “Yes, we’re all very used to it now. The environment here is good, and I’m still with my parents.”

If her family had not met Su Binglan, they would have already died, not to mention they could live stable lives now.

The environment at the academy was simple, and the family did not have to overthink. The family only needed to cook for the students, and they had a small courtyard to live in after work.

Luo Juan and her parents could live there, so they did not have to tire themselves by walking home.

Since the family fed the students well, everyone at the academy respected them and was grateful for their cooking.

Luo Juan thought her cooking skills had significantly improved, but she never stopped practicing her knife skills whenever she cooked.

Meanwhile, Luo Kang and Qiu He also talked to Su Binglan about the cafeteria. They recorded the accounts very clearly whenever they finished work for the day.

When Luo Jin’an was still around, Su Binglan told him to check on the cafeteria whenever he came to the academy to study. Since he had left on a long journey, Su Binglan had to handle it alone.

However, she had not been to the academy for a long time. Whenever Luo Kang gave the account book to Su Wenzhe, he would bring it back to the village for Su Binglan to see.

Whenever Su Binglan looked at it, she would find no issues or mistakes. She also felt assured that Luo Kang and his family could handle things well.

After chatting with Qiu He and the others, Su Binglan ordered three servings of rice and then sat at one of the many tables to eat with her nephews. Eating there reminded her of eating in a modern school cafeteria.

The pork ribs the family made were good, and there were also big steamed buns. Anyone could fill their stomachs with the addition of vegetarian dishes, too.

After the meal, Su Binglan asked her nephews to rest in the dormitory while she left the academy.

After exiting the academy gates, she turned around and looked dazed. She seemed to have returned to the time when she was Lan Ruobing. She remembered being frail then but still came to the academy to check on it.

Still, she had not recovered all of her memories as Lan Ruobing and did not know what she thought about back then.

‘Why did I build Blue Mountain Academy?’

Su Binglan’s heart was doubtful. Moreover, she used the compass to determine Luo Jin’an’s location but could not find it. Strangely enough, she could not predict anything to do with her husband. It was like a barrier was covering his body, isolating him from all prying eyes.

Su Binglan thought for a while and turned around. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up. Then she noticed a bizarre phenomenon in the sky..
