Su Wenxiu said, “Yeah, they finished building it. Yang Xiao even told me that everyone is grateful to you and wants you to visit to check it out. He told me that many people enjoy soaking in the hot springs. They say their bodies feel better and sleep soundly after bathing there.
“The hot spring villa is beautiful. More people are visiting since it’s summer. Some like to go to the hot springs for a vacation. The villagers can sell some vegetables and fruits by setting up stalls on the roadside.
“The villagers have also increased their harvests. The hot springs management also hired the villagers to work there. Everyone is working hard and cherishes their jobs.”
Su Binglan smiled and nodded. “That’s perfect. I drew detailed blueprints and wrote plans for Mr. Zhengzhi. I entrusted him to carry out my plans, and he did well. The medicinal herb factory and hot spring villa will drive the local economy.”
“Yang Xiao is grateful to you, Sister. He said the villagers miss you a lot.” Su Wenxiu looked at Su Binglan admiringly.
Su Binglan said, “I’m pretty busy now and won’t have time to visit Yang County for a while. Still, Mother and Father can visit the hot springs for a vacation. You can bring your sons there, too, Wenzhe. After all, it’s their summer break.’
Shen Qiuhua shook her head. “Your father and I aren’t going anywhere since you and Jin’an have returned. Besides, we can visit the hot springs anytime. If you want to open many more factories, your father and I can help. Wenzhe and Yinyin can go to the hot springs instead.”
“I want to stay home, too,” Liu Yinyin said hurriedly, “I’ve grown accustomed to staying home. I’m not used to living elsewhere.”
She enjoyed being at home because she did well in Su Teng Village. She was not used to leaving home for several days.
Su Wenzhe nodded. “I’m the same as Yinyin. We should go together as a family instead. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.’
He had grown accustomed to being by his parents’ side. He instinctively felt relaxed when he was home. He felt at ease with his parents around. Su
Xuexuan and Su Xuehai had an excellent time with their friends in the village.
Many of them were Blue Mountain Academy students. During the holidays, the students would visit Su Teng Village with their parents to watch the plays at the Grand Theater. They would even play with the two little ones.
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were happy about it and did not need to visit an unfamiliar place for a vacation.
Su Wenxiu said, “l have many things to do at the medical school, so I don’t have free time, either.’
He had someone to worry about now. Perhaps Zi Die was the only one he cared about. He would be worried if he left the village for too long. He could feel how dependent Zi Die was on him.
Su Binglan noticed everyone’s reluctance and said, “Then we’ll all visit the hot springs when we have time.”
She planned to bring her parents for a vacation and wanted her whole family to travel as a family.
“I’ll bring everyone to the capital to visit once my construction team completes their projects,” Su Binglan said.
“l feel safer if I go out with you,” Liu Yinyin said smilingly, “I’ll follow your lead, Sister-in-law.”
The family regarded Su Binglan as their backbone. They felt an indescribable sense of security with her beside them. Su Binglan smiled and felt warm inside.
She knew her family had given her plenty of strength and motivation in everything she did.
The family chatted until midnight. Then, they returned to their rooms to sleep. After breakfast the following day, Su Binglan woke up early to handle her tasks. Luo Jin’an even accompanied her to the newly built factory.
“We’ll build an ice cream factory first, then a cold noodle factory and milk tea factory.”
Luo Jin’an asked, “Will you open the three factories simultaneously?”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, 1 already have a detailed plan in mind. We’ll recruit people to work in the factories first.”
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao knew their daughter needed workers, so they went to help her. Su Binglan posted a message and told the various factory employees about it.
Everyone quickly informed their relatives about the new job opportunities. Soon after, almost everyone knew about Su Binglan wanting to open new factories.
The news spread like wildfire. There was even a queue outside the ice cream factory by noon. Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua helped their daughter with the interviews by reviewing the villagers’ information.
Since there were so many applicants, Su Binglan hired enough workers for the three new factories within two days. Then, she divided the work among the
employees. She even taught everyone what they were responsible for.
She then sent three of her subordinates to help, each in one factory. These were the management talents Su Binglan had nurtured. Later, the trio would be in charge of each factory. She felt more at ease with them around.
Su Binglan taught everyone to make popsicles, cold noodles, and milk tea. She also faced an issue buying ingredients but soon arranged for others to do it. Soon after, she started another farm to raise cows.
Su Binglan hired many people, and everyone worked hard. Hence, the factory was up and running in no time. The employees made the first batch of popsicles in a few days.
She then told someone to set up stalls outside the ice cream factory to sell the popsicles. The villagers pa.s.sed by and saw the stall. They could not help but go over to check it out.
“Are these the popsicles everyone has been talking about?”
“So these are popsicles. They look pretty good.”
“It’s a new delicacy Miss Su developed. She says it’ll relieve the summer heat. I wonder how much one is.’
The person in charge of the stall said, “It’s three coppers for one popsicle.”
Everyone was shocked about the low price. They were eager to buy some, saying, “I’ll take one!”
Since Su Binglan had developed it, they knew it would be delicious.
“I’ll take one, too!”
Those who received their orders quickly began eating. “Ah, it’s so cool and delicious.’
Everyone looked excited as they ate.
“l don’t feel hot anymore after eating this.”
Everyone else went to buy some after hearing such praises. “Give me one, no, two!”
More and more people came forward, almost fighting to buy the popsicles.
Soon, the seller ran out of popsicles, saying, “I’m sorry. There aren’t any left.”
The seller was astounded as he sold out of hundreds of popsicles in such a short time. More importantly, people were still waiting in line to buy popsicles..
