Shen Qiuhua believed her daughter’s words without a doubt.
“That’s good. Since that’s the case, we can make stinky tofu, mainly because of its deliciousness. I start craving stinky tofu whenever I think about it.” Shen Qiuhua could still remember its smell.
She had not felt hungry after her busy afternoon, but she wanted to eat when she thought about how delicious the stinky tofu was. Fortunately, it was almost nighttime, and she could go home for dinner in a while. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Shortly after, Su Binglan explained how to make the stinky tofu to her mother, who did well to remember it. “All right. We’ll start making stinky tofu tomorrow. Do you want to arrange for a few people to do that? Then we might need to hire more people to make the regular tofu.”
Su Binglan considered how she had made much more money and could hire more people. She said, “Let’s get Granduncle Su to inform the villagers tonight. We’ll tell the villagers we’re hiring six more people, and they should come for interviews tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll tell your father to do that,” Shen Qiuhua said, “I noticed how busy you are these days, so I want you to go home early and rest.”
Her heart ached when she saw how busy her daughter was every day. Meanwhile, Shen Qiuhua was only in charge of the tofu factory and did not need to worry about anything else.
‘I’m not tired, but Binglan has to worry about everything else and is constantly busy. I know she must be tired.’
However, Shen Qiuhua did not know that her daughter possessed a unique body and had access to a pocket dimension, so her mental energy and strength were extraordinary.
Su Binglan barely felt tired, despite being busy with many things. Instead, she felt her days were very fulfilling. She knew how meaningful her actions were, especially when she saw how her employees smiled.
When she returned home to make dinner, she noticed Su Wenwu had returned early. She asked curiously, “Third Brother, why did you come back so early today?”
Su Wenwu explained, “That’s because Zhou Shan is very reliable, Little Sister. I’m relieved to let him manage the hot pot restaurant. I can finally take a break for the next few days. After that, I should be busy again since the hotpot restaurant in the east will be ready.”
Previously, Su Binglan had arranged for Zhou Shan to work at the current hotpot restaurant because she wanted to train him to be its manager. That way, Su Wenwu could manage the upcoming hotpot restaurant in the east.
Nonetheless, she felt assured about leaving her third brother in charge of the upcoming hotpot restaurant. Moreover, Su Wenwu had done well as a manager and could do as he wished. He had even made proper arrangements for the ingredients purchasing.
“Zhou Shan has worked for me since I opened the dessert shop,” Su Binglan said, “He has learned a lot, so it wouldn’t be a problem for him to manage the hotpot restaurant.”
She did not feel concerned about that.
Su Wenwu said proudly, “Of course. You’d be impressed with how fast Zhou Shan can do his accounting. He only needs to glance at the stock that comes and goes once to remember everything. His accounting is evident, and he uses the method you taught him.
“Although he has only worked there a few days, I almost didn’t need to do anything since Zhou Shan could handle it. He is genuinely doing a good job.” Su Wenwu rarely praised anyone, but Zhou Shan did an excellent job in Su Wenwu’s opinion.
Su Wenwu felt reassured seeing Zhou Shan work.
At that moment, Su Wenwu felt relaxed. That was why he could go home earlier than usual. Otherwise, he would still be busy at the hotpot restaurant.
He found a chair and sat down, leaning against it while sighing with relief. “Ah, I feel so relaxed now.”
Su Binglan looked at her third brother smilingly. “It looks like you’ve been exhausted lately. Why don’t you rest at home for a few more days? We can delay opening the new hotpot restaurant for a while.”
Su Wenwu anxiously stood up and said, “Don’t be like that, Little Sister. You must let me work. I checked the construction progress, and it’ll be ready in a few days. We can immediately open it since I’ve already made arrangements. I’ll tell the townsfolk and make it a grand opening.”
“Wenwu, although opening the restaurant is important, your health matters too. I don’t want you to tire yourself out,” Su Binglan said.
“I’m not tired, Little Sister,” Su Wenwu said earnestly, “We’ll open on schedule, okay? I like feeling busy. Now that I have a proper job and can make money,
I’m more comfortable taking a break.
“When I had nothing to do in the past, I felt restless no matter how much I rested. I was so anxious then.” Su Wenwu would feel a lingering fear whenever he thought of the past and his family’s situation back then. Therefore, he was more earnest about his job now.
When Su Wenwu thought of the hardships he and his family had suffered in the past, he dared not slack off since he had a good life now.
Su Binglan noticed how worried her third brother was and said, “Don’t worry,
Wenwu. I was just joking with you.”
Su Wenwu scoffed and chuckled. He said, “I’ll help you start the fire, Little Sister.”
Immediately after, he went to the yard to get some firewood and burned them in the furnace.
Su Binglan said, “By the way, I have something to tell you, Wenwu.”
Su Wenwu had just lit the fire and blew on it to strengthen the fire. He said,
“Just tell me whatever you need to, Little Sister.”
Everyone in the Su family knew it was a good thing whenever Su Binglan asked them to do something. Su Binglan asked, “Do you think the stinky tofu is delicious?
Her words invigorated Su Wenwu as he replied, “Of course, it’s delicious, but it’s been a while since I had it. When will you make stinky tofu again, Little Sister?”
Su Binglan explained, “I’ll hire six more people to work at the factory tomorrow. Then we can start making stinky tofu. However, I considered arranging for people to open a stinky tofu stall.”
Su Wenwu was a bright young man who immediately understood his sister’s meaning. “Do you want me to arrange for someone to sell stinky tofu, Little Sister?”
“That’s right. If I remember correctly, you have a few close, trusted friends. You said they were good people who treated their families well, right? Have you given them any jobs?”
“No,” Su Wenwu said, “Only three of them are working with me now. They’re in charge of getting ingredients for our hotpot restaurant. I still have two more close friends who could use jobs, but they live far away. One lives in Northern Mountain Village, and the other lives in the town next door.”
Su Binglan frowned slightly. “Isn’t the one in the neighboring town also from a neighboring village? Isn’t he an orphan, too? He should still be in the old house his parents left him since the foundation is still there.
“I thought of asking him to be responsible for the ingredients when we open the hotpot restaurant in the next town.”
After some thought, she continued, “Still, we’re not rushing to open another hotpot restaurant. You should ask your friend in Northern Mountain Village if he wants to work for us first.
“However, I don’t want him to work at the factory. Instead, I’ll let him sell stinky tofu in town. He’ll be my employee, and I’ll pay him a monthly salary and bonus..”
