Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Xueye did not understand some of the things Su Binglan used to say in the past, but after learning a lot from her, he became more knowledgeable.

All the land near Blue Mountain Academy belonged to Su Binglan, and Su Xueye knew she planned to build houses there. Still, Madam Zhou did not quite understand what he said.

Even so, the family trusted Su Binglan. Madam Zhou said, “Although we might not understand these things, your aunt is right. Just do as she says. Our family wouldn’t be so fortunate without her.

“Also, your aunt taught you sincerely. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the respect you have today.” Madam Zhou was proud of what her grandson had achieved at such a young age.

“l know, Grandma. I’ll continue to study hard.” Su Xueye nodded thoughtfully. He would not allow himself to be overconfident and continue studying and working hard.

Madam Zhou was delighted to see her grandson that way. Although Su Xueye was young, he had a calm personality and could guard against arrogance and impatience. He was also talented and the family’s pride.

Su Zhengde looked at his grandson proudly. People always recognized him as Su Xueye’s grandfather whenever he was out working. Many more people used to know more about him than Su Xueye.

Madam Zhou said, “Right, we must quickly build our furniture factory.” Su Zhengde answered, “I’ll arrange for some people to build the factory tomorrow. ”

When Su Fengchen and the others were having dinner together, Old Madam

Su told Su Fengchen, “Several people are asking around to buy your cured sausages these days. Why don’t we make more tomorrow?”

She knew how delicious cured meat was but did not expect it to be so popular. Some time ago, everyone still wondered what cured sausages were when they went to the market.

Some bought a piece and planned to taste it at home. They would buy more if they thought it was delicious. However, no one expected it to go so well with rice.

When those who bought the product returned to buy more, there was already a long queue before them. People who had already tasted it knew how delicious it was, so they bought more than ten pounds at once.

Now that everyone was much better off, they would spend more on food. Moreover, the cured sausages were inexpensive and went well with steamed buns.

Most who went to buy cured sausages wanted to bring them home and make a pot of steamed buns to eat with the cured sausage,

Although Su Fengchen and the others had made a lot, they could not meet the demand because of its popularity. Since that was the case, most people wanted to know if they could order in advance.

Even so, cured meats were easy to store. People could even eat it during the New Year if they bought more and kept them starting now. It was also winter, so the cured sausages would take longer to expire.

Su Fengchen said, “We made plenty and sold them in the market, but we sold out almost immediately. We never have enough, no matter how much we make.’

Miao Zhizhi could not help but sigh when she recalled the long queue she saw the other day. Everyone was eager to buy the family’s products.

“Everyone’s lives are better now,” Old Master Su said, “Everyone is willing to spend more to buy food now. They’re willing to try anything delicious.”

Old Madam Su added, “Those who return to buy more cured sausages only come to buy more after tasting it. Unfortunately, we can’t make enough. Even foreign merchants want to order in bulk.”

Miao Zhizhi smiled. “Binglan always has a way of making delicious food.” Everyone thought of Su Binglan when Miao Zhizhi mentioned her.

“You don’t have to tell me twice,” Old Madam Su said, “We’ve been eating cured sausages every meal for the past few days.”

Su Binglan had taught them to make cured sausages a month ago. She had brought some of them along on her journey and left the rest for Su Fengchen and the others.

Old Madam Su even gave some to her sons; everyone said it was delicious. Afterward, Su Fengchen followed his niece’s instructions and made more to sell them at the store. The product instantly became popular as soon as the family started selling them.

“We don’t have enough workers at the store,” Old Madam Su said, “We should hire more people.”

Su Fengchen had already hired some workers, but he needed more. “All right,

Mother. I’ll hire more people tomorrow.”

“Yes, but you can’t fully reveal our method of making cured meats,” Old Madam Su reminded.

Su Fengchen nodded. “l know that, Mother. It’s easy to keep our methods a secret. We’ll hire more people but only teach them one part of the method. We’re the only ones who should know the entire process, including the seasoning. That won’t be a problem.”

“That’s right,” Old Madam Su said, “We’ll get someone to portion the meat when the time comes. Then we’ll mix the seasonings well before getting someone to add them to the products. It’s simple and convenient.”

Niaking cured meat was easier than making roast duck and grilled chicken. Still, different foods would gear toward different people. The family sold several products in their store and had to make everything.

“I’ll get someone to portion the pork tomorrow,” Su Fengchen said.

He had also expanded his farm and raised many pigs, so he hired workers to care for his livestock.

However, many families in the village had pigs. Even if Su Fengchen ran out of them, he could buy some from his neighbors or the surrounding villages. Getting ingredients was also easier, saving him plenty of time.

The following day, Su Fengchen started spreading the news of his recruitment. Many people rushed to apply for the job. Even people in the surrounding villages worked.

It was just that people in distant villages had less work to do, so they traveled far to go for the interview. Therefore, dozens of people had already started lining up by noon. People from town also came for a chance to work for the Su family.

Su Fengchen did a simple interview and hired a few people. He assessed these people’s honesty, diligence, and character during the interview. If they showed promise in these regards, he would hire them.

Afterward, he told them to start immediately at his cured meat store. The people he hired were thrilled and repeatedly said they would do their best.

Some foreign merchants heard that Su Fengchen had built a cured meat store. When they arrived at Su Teng Village, they rushed to his store to order his products.

“Young Master Su, we’ve worked together before. I came to order a batch of cured meat and sausages. The more, the better.”

“l just rushed here from overseas to buy your products, Young Master Su. You must leave some for me. I want to make a large order too.”

“Me too, Young Master Su!”

These merchants wanted to buy Su Fengchen’s products and resell them in their villages in the past. However, Su Fengchen did not make much, not even enough to sell locally, let alone to foreign merchants.

Therefore, the merchants could only buy a little each time to resell in their villages for people to taste..
