Chapter 852: Comprehensive College

When Su Binglan finished cooking, the whole family sat at the dining table to eat. They all realized how delicious the tomato eggs were.

“It’s so tasty, Sister,” Su Wenzhe praised, “Tomatoes are completely different from other vegetables.”

Shen Qiuhua took a few bites and nodded. “I’ve stir-fried many vegetables before, but some aren’t suitable with eggs. Still, the tomatoes you brought back are perfect, Binglan.”

Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin dipped the chicken popcorn into the ketchup and took a bite. She then became wide-eyed as she said, “The ketchup is delicious, too!”

Although she could not describe the taste, she knew it differed from the usual sauces the family used at home. The ketchup tasted sweeter than what she was used to.

“The ketchup goes well with the pork ribs, too! As expected, tomatoes are excellent ingredients to use for cooking.”

Su Binglan said, “We’ll make noodles with tomatoes later. Tomato soup with

noodles is just as tasty.”

The family looked forward to their next meal. After eating, the family sat together and discussed what had happened in the past month.

“Everyone has planted their potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, and other crops. The waterwheel played a significant role in irrigation. We’ve also rented out all the shops you’ve built, except the ones you kept for our use.

“It didn’t take long for us to rent out those shops. More people want to rent shops, but we ran out of space.” Shen Qiuhua became emotional as she spoke.

Su Binglan had built many shops, and Shen Qiuhua was worried that they could not rent them all out. The latter did not expect so many people to be renting them.

The main reason for that was the foot traffic. As long as one’s food tasted good, business would be good.

Su Fengmao added, “We’ve sold most of the residential houses, but there are some left. Some people even paid us a deposit and asked us to give them some time to save up.

“Su Teng Market has even doubled in size. The initial area was insufficient, so we extended it to the east road. Now, the market has even reached the embroidery shop. Fortunately, the road there is spacious.”

Su Binglan learned about the changes that had occurred in the village through her family’s explanation. The villagers had finished planting their spring crops and returned to work at the factories.

The family had rented out all the shops on the food street, farmers’ market, and shopping malls. Business was booming, too, as many strolled around to buy things.

The paper mill and printing factory had become well-known to the villagers, and many rushed to buy paper. The two factories were vast and had many employees. One could produce high-quality yet affordable paper, while the other could quickly print books.

Even though the paper mill and printing factory had many workers, they found it hard to meet the demands.

The printing factory would run all day. Countless people came to order books, while some came to purchase books. Since that was the case, Su Binglan considered hiring more workers to meet the people’s demands.

She said, “I’ve built several factories around here, so I’ll use two vacant ones to expand the paper mill and printing factory. I’ll build another paper mill and printing factory in the prefecture.”

If Su Binglan also built the cement factory in the prefecture, she could transport the cement to other places to repair the roads. She also planned to build a beverage and canned food factory in Apricot Mountain Village.

Su Binglan could get her subordinates to do these things instead of doing it herself like last time. She only needed to draw up some design plans. Since she had nurtured a group of subordinates, they could handle the heavy work and save her some time and effort.

Shen Qiuhua said, “It might not be enough, even if we have a few more factories. So many people are buying paper now. Foreign merchants know about our paper mill and are rushing her to make orders. It’s crazy over here.” She had witnessed how hectic it was in the paper mill and printing factory.

Su Fengmao said, “Of course, the paper we produce is cheap and of high quality. The merchants can make a lot of money by reselling our paper, even if they sell cheaply.”

He felt just as emotional as his wife when he spoke. He did not expect the paper mill’s profits to be so high. Moreover, many more students could afford to buy and use paper now.

The library even provided convenience for everyone. Most no longer needed to buy books. Instead, they could visit the library to study and gain knowledge.

Some books were not even available elsewhere but in the library.

Therefore, students enjoyed reading at the library during the weekends. Now, many foreigners wanted to settle down in Su Teng Village.

“Sister, everyone was ecstatic about buying houses here,” Su Wenzhe said, “There are so many residential houses, yet we’ve sold almost all of them. Even the houses in Tenghe Town are popular now.

“The prices of many houses there have risen, too. In the past, people could buy a house with a few dozen silver. Now, the price has doubled.”

Su Binglan raised her brow, asking, “It has doubled?”

She knew it would put pressure on the people if the housing prices were too high.

“Some houses are sold at a high price in private, but the county magistrate controls the prices. Also, your residential area is cheap. Everyone is willing to move there because of the safe and lively environment. Still, there aren’t enough houses.”

Although Su Binglan had built many houses, she did not expect them to be so popular. People had realized the prosperity and convenience of Su Teng Village.

Living and working there was convenient. The surrounding facilities were complete, too. Just outside the houses were the farmers’ market and convenience stores.

If people wanted to buy some food, they would only have to walk a few steps.

They did not even need to take carriages or oxcarts. Not to mention, the Grand Theater and medical school were there, too.

There was also a comprehensive college Su Binglan had built beside the medical school. She had built it to nurture students who were talented in embroidery, cooking, agriculture, management, and so on.

After graduating from college, the students could easily find jobs in the Su family’s businesses. Many parents knew about the college and rushed to send their children there.

Everyone had realized how important it was to have skills such as embroidering, managing, cooking, and so on..
