Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan was walking on the street about to go home when she passed by
Drunken Cloud. Mr. Wang saw her and excitedly called to her, “Miss Su, Miss
Su Binglan looked at Mr. Wang and said smilingly, “Hello, Manager Wu. Why aren’t you in the shop and out here instead?”
Mr. Wang said, “I wanted to go to your brother’s shop and tell him I was looking for you. I didn’t expect to bump into you so coincidentally.”
Su Binglan remembered Su Wenzhe telling her that Mr. Wang from Drunken Cloud had long wanted to order tofu products from him. Although she had guessed it, she still asked, “Why were you looking for me, Mr. Wang?”
Mr. Wang chuckled and said. “You’re such a busy person now, and I’m sorry to trouble you, Miss Su, but I have something to discuss with you.”
Su Binglan nodded and said, “Well, Mr. Wang, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it.”
“I still want to discuss the tofu cooperation with you, Miss Su. It just so happens that our young master has also returned, so I want you two to meet and discuss the details of the cooperation. What do you think?” Mr. Wang looked at Su Binglan respectfully.
He remembered meeting her a few months ago and thought she had an extraordinary temperament and was extraordinary. At that time, many towns folk said Su Binglan was a top-notch woman.
Mr. Wang was skeptical then, but Su Binglan soon set up a small stall to sell tofu and also sold two recipes to Drunken Cloud. Mr. Wang still remembered that Zhu’s Guests had robbed Drunken Cloud of many customers then.
He was anxious, thinking of ways to save the restaurant when Su Binglan’s two recipes saved Drunken Cloud. The spicy chicken and sour and spicy potato pancakes were still Drunken Cloud’s signature dishes since then.
Then Su Binglan opened more shops and studied many delicacies, making the town’s remote west end a bustling place. One of the most important delicacies she made was her desserts.
Even Mr. Wang thought they were delicious, as he bought several mooncakes from Su Binglan’s shop and brought them to the capital for his parents, wife, and children.
His family said the mooncakes were delicious and praised them. They also said they had never eaten such delicious mooncakes.
Mr. Wang thought Teng He town was small in the past and that his parents might not like it very much since it was less prosperous than the capital.
However, after looking at the town’s changes and eating its unique delicacies, Mr. Wang knew the town had improved. He also knew that it was all because of Su Binglan.
He could not figure out why, but he felt there would be more significant changes in Teng He Town’s future and that Su Binglan would cause them.
Even he was amazed when he counted the delicacies and things Su Binglan had researched.
Oh, and those dumplings. Mr. Wang asked around and discovered that Su Binglan had also made those. The people instinctively gave the dumplings a nickname, the Su family’s dumplings.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “Sure.”
After all, cooperation like that was beneficial to the tofu factory. Moreover, Su Binglan had worked with Drunken Cloud since the beginning and was still sending them potatoes and chilies. However, since Su Wenwu had returned, he was in charge of delivering goods.
When Su Binglan entered Drunken Cloud, she could smell the dishes and dumplings. She was stunned when she saw many customers on the restaurant’s first floor had ordered dumplings.
As if he knew Su Binglan’s thoughts, Mr. Wang hurriedly explained with a smile, “Miss Su, I’m sorry. We also learned how to make dumplings and added them to the restaurant’s main menu. Everyone loves to eat dumplings as the customers can eat them alongside their rice dishes. So many people have ordered dumplings since then.
“Of course, we know that you were the one who came up with dumplings. We will compensate you if you want.” Mr. Wang knew he had to keep his connections with someone as capable as Su Binglan and not offend her, as she greatly benefited Drunken Cloud.
Su Binglan waved and said, “I taught everyone how to make dumplings so everyone could eat them. If I wanted to hide it, I wouldn’t have taught everyone how to make them.
“That’s why you should do business the way you do business. You Don’t have to worry about compensating me or anything.”
Mr. Wang laughed, saying, “Miss Su, you’re so nice and straightforward. Everyone can eat dumplings because of you. You could have earned quite a lot if you sold your dumplings instead of teaching others.”
Su Binglan said, “I don’t plan to earn money with dumplings. I wanted the villagers to know how to make dumplings for themselves and improve their daily lives.”
When Mr. Wang heard Su Binglan’s words, he could not help but praise her inwardly. He felt that most people would not have the same breadth of mind as Su Binglan.
In his early years, he had traveled far and wide to meet many people, but he had never met someone like her. He knew that such a person must be someone who would do extraordinary things. Therefore, Mr. Wang was even more respectful to Su Binglan.
The customers in the shop became curious when they saw Mr. Wang being extra polite to someone.
“Hey, who is that beautiful girl? Mr. Wang is so polite to her.”
“You don’t know who Miss Su is? She developed so many delicacies in our town.”
“Yeah, including the dumplings you’re eating right now. Miss Su developed and taught everyone how to make them for free.”
“Remember the mooncakes I told someone to send you previously? Miss Su
was the one who made those.”
The questioning customer finally reacted and exclaimed, “Ah, so she’s the
Legendary Miss Su from Teng He Town?! So she’s so beautiful!”
“Of course. Miss Su is always around our town, so there’s lots of delicious food here. Since you seldom visit, I’ll bring you around Teng He Town to eat all kinds of delicacies over the next few days.”
The people at the neighboring table overheard this conversation and could not help but chime in, “You must go to Su’s Hotpot. The food there is so delicious that eating once won’t be enough. You can’t help but have seconds!”
“Yes! Also, the way to eat hotpot is novel and unique.”
Another table of customers could not help but persuade the conversing crowd,
“I agree! Since you’re in Teng He Town for a while, you must try the hotpot.”
The customers who ate at Drunken Cloud were from well-to-do families, and they had tried the Su family’s hotpot before. Everyone was full of praise when they discussed Su’s Hotpot.
The customer only visiting town asked, “Was Miss Su the one who came up with this hotpot thing as well?”
“Of course, it’s a delicacy that Miss Su developed. It’s just west of the town, not far from here.
Su Binglan had excellent hearing, so she heard their conversations and could not help but smile. She did not expect the hotpot restaurant to be so famous so soon.
However, she did not expect herself to be famous at all. It turned out everyone knew about her and what she did. When Su Binglan taught everyone how to make dumplings, she did not want them to remember who she was.
She just wanted everyone to be able to enjoy delicacies such as dumplings..
