Song Yi could fry a few stinky tofu at once and add spicy or non-spicy seasoning afterward. Everyone in town knew what spiciness was and would choose the spicy or non-spicy seasonings according to their taste.
Since stinky tofu was easy to make, the townsfolk would quickly get their orders even if they were to line up. Everyone happily at their stinky tofu with joyful expressions.
“It’s very delicious.”
“I told you there’s nothing the Su family makes that isn’t good.”
“Fortunately, we didn’t hesitate and quickly lined up at the beginning. Because of that, we had an extra skewer for free.”
“Stinky tofu tastes unique compared to other food, so I bought a few more for my family to try.”
Su Wenwu and Song Yi were delighted to see the business being successful. Song Yi knew he would earn more the more business he received. Therefore, he felt more energized if he was as busy as possible.
Su Binglan went to the temporary embroidery shop in the afternoon to bring the backpacks, handbags, and rag dolls to town. Everyone was already learning to knit when she arrived.
They first learned to twist the wool before knitting sweaters, and everyone
was thrilled after learning how to knit.
“I didn’t know there was such a way to make clothes.”
No one present knew how to weave, mainly because it was troublesome, and not everyone could get the hang of it. Sewing machines were also highly costly.
However, knitting sweaters with two sticks was relatively straightforward as there were only a few steps to it. The workers would learn it after just a little practice.
Moreover, everyone thought that this method of weaving was fascinating. The workers enjoyed making backpacks and handbags in the beginning. Later, they had fun making rag dolls, but now they liked knitting sweaters.
Everyone felt they had learned a lot while at the temporary embroidery shop. They knew Su Binglan would bring the things they made to the shops in town, so they all helped her pack.
Su Binglan tied a carriage to her horse and packed the things before heading to town. Next to the hotpot restaurant on the east side of town was a shop Su Binglan had bought two days ago.
When Su Binglan arrived in town and stopped at the haggis soup shop, she entered and called Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin out.
The two of them looked at Su Binglan in puzzlement. However, they knew she had something to say when they saw her carriage. Liu Yinyin reacted quicker than her husband as she anxiously looked at Su Binglan. “Is there something you need us to do, Binglan?”
Liu Yinyin had long wanted to work under Su Binglan.
Su Binglan asked, “Have you already hired more workers for your shop?”
She remembered Liu Yinyin hiring her uncle’s brother and sister-in-law. Su Binglan had seen them working in the shop before, and Liu Yinyin’s uncle and sister-in-law looked honest and straightforward.
Liu Yinyih said excitedly, “Don’t worry, Binglan. Your brother and I only manage the shop occasionally, especially since we have little to do. My family members can handle the shop, and we can trust them. Wenzhe and I have free time now and don’t have to stay here for long.”
She remembered Su Binglan telling Su Wenzhe and her to work hard so that she could arrange for other things for the couple to do. That was why Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe wanted to hire more workers.
Hiring ones own family was more reassuring than hiring others. Besides, they knew each others’ backgrounds and could also help their family.
Su Binglan nodded and said, “Then you two can get on the carriage. I’ll bring you to the east side of town to help me look after an accessory store.”
The couple happily smiled when they heard that and quickly got onto the carriage. Immediately after, Su Binglan rode her horse to the east with the carriage in tow.
It was even more lively when they arrived at the east. However, there was one street where Su Binglan had bought two shops. One was the hotpot restaurant, and the other was an accessory store.
“Since the hotpot restaurant needed a smoke pipe, renovating it took a lot of work. However, the construction team handled it in a few days, and I officially opened the hotpot restaurant.”
The couple listened to Su Binglan’s explanation and finally understood what was happening.
Su Wenzhe exclaimed, “Little Sister! I only knew you bought a two-story building for the restaurant. I didn’t expect you to buy another shop. When did you buy it?”
He looked at the second floor and felt the shop was huge.
“Two days ago,” Su Binglan replied. After opening the shop, she asked Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin to help her move things. Afterward, Su Binglan opened the bag, took the things inside, and placed them on the table.
The items had price labels so they would not have to bargain, making selling much more convenient. Then Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe would have an easier time running the store.
If someone wanted to buy a doll or school bag, they could pay at the front desk. It was similar to the dessert shop’s business model.
Su Binglan had asked Lin Zheng and the other two to work at the dessert shop to train them as management talents.
Liu Yinyin was astounded when she saw what Su Binglan had placed on the table. “Binglan, are these the items your embroiderers made?”
She had guessed it had something to do with embroidery, but she did not expect it to be such things. She knew about backpacks because Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai usually carried those to school.
However, she had never seen a handbag or a rag doll. She thought they were beautiful.
Su Binglan explained, “You’re right. The embroiderers can make many things.
They not only embroider but also make handicrafts and accessories.”
Li Yinyin touched a rag doll and pinched it despite herself. “Binglan, many people will like these things. Even I like them very much.”
Su Wenzhe liked the items, too, but he controlled himself. He felt it was not suitable for a man to like such things. He told his wife, “Be careful not to ruin it. ”
Liu Yinyin returned to her senses. After all, it was her instinctive reaction to pinch the doll. After hearing her husband’s voice, she put the doll back on the table.
Su Binglan said, “That’s okay. You won’t ruin it since the workers made them from rags, cotton, and wheat husks. It’s just that some of these are lighter in color and can quickly get dirty.
“Don’t let the customers touch them too much when they visit the store. Tell them to wash their hands at the sink at the side. Then they can look at the items as they wish, even touch them.”
“Yup, I’ll remember to do that, Little Sister.” Su Wenzhe nodded.
Su Binglan gave the couple a few more instructions and opened the accessory store in a low-profile manner. However, Su Wenzhe felt puzzled and asked,
“Aren’t we going to promote the store, Little Sister?”
Even he knew how to use his sister’s methods when starting a business. He Imew he had to promote the store before opening.
“There’s no need,” Su Binglan said, “It’s okay, even if it’s a low-key opening. The hotpot restaurant will be opening in a few days, so the customers will naturally see the accessory store when they come to the restaurant. The business will be better if more people come to the store..”
