Su Wenwu thought he should at least process the sheep and cows to turn them into pork and mutton.
Su Binglan patiently explained, “You can also think of ways to find a good source of goods, Third Brother.”
She knew Su Wenwu might not understand her unfamiliar vocabulary, so she tried using simpler words, “That means you can search for places to buy these things and place orders with those places. Tell them how much we need daily, and we’ll buy more or negotiate prices in advance.
“However, we won’t buy anything if the price is too high. Then we can think of other ways to get the needed goods. You can form a team, for example. That is to say, find people from each village and put them in charge of collecting a certain amount of pork and mutton.
“They can send those things to us afterward. Of course, we will set the prices for your team. They can earn the price difference when they buy pork and mutton.
“Still, the people we hire must have good characteristics and integrity. Only then can they do business longer. Oh, they also need to collect wool and keep it.
I have some uses for those later.’
Su Wenwu’s eyes lit up when he heard his sister’s words. “That’s a good idea,
Sister. Then the other villagers can have jobs too.”
Su Wenzhe added smilingly, “Wenwu has been the wild one since he was a child. He gets along well with his friends, and everyone calls him the boss whenever they follow him.”
Su Wenwu scratched the back of his head and felt embarrassed. “I was a child then, Big Brother. I ran a group from town and got to know a few boys my age when I went to the capital. They were from the surrounding villages and were pretty good people, but they were also poor and had no choice but to work and earn money.
“They even risked their lives doing so. We went on a trip once and encountered some problems along the way. Two members got injured, but we did not have enough money to treat their wounds.
“Those boys also wanted to earn and buy things for their families so they would not starve and freeze during the winter. Nonetheless, we had no choice but to work outside the village.
“They wouldn’t have needed to do that if they had a job nearby, and they wouldn’t be afraid of exposure. Still, those boys wouldn’t have been able to help their families without risking their lives.”
Su Binglan listened to her third brother’s story and felt a little uneasy. It seemed Su Wenwu had suffered a lot during his trip.
However, no one would have known this if Su Wenwu had not mentioned it. After some thought, Su Binglan said, “You can ask for those boys’ help finding goods for the hotpot restaurant.
“Of course, we can collect mutton and pork if they raise them. Those boys can also earn money buying those things anywvay.”
Su Wenwu understood what his sister said. He responded, “That’s something we can do.”
Su Binglan smiled at Su Wenwu and said, “You don’t have to worry about that, Third Brother. We need to hire more people when our business grows, after all. Still, our prerequisite is that the workers must possess good characteristics.
“We’re doing business and need to hire others. If we can help our villagers, we’ll help ourselves in the process, but we also can’t cheat ourselves, correct? So, we must keep our eyes open and hire those who are good people. That would save us a lot of trouble.
Su Wenwu said thoughtfully, “I understand, Sister. Although I’m familiar with those boys since we’ve experienced much together, I will be careful when hiring them.”
“Yes, Third Brother.” Su Binglan knew Su Wenwu had listened to her words. She realized her third brother was a wild spirit, but he had a good heart, and it was apparent that he was passionate and loyal.
Su Fengmao patted Su Wenwu’s shoulder, saying, “I know you want to help as many people as possible. I also dreamed of being a hero when I was young, but one must act within one’s capabilities.
“Nonetheless, you have your sister with you, and we believe Binglan will be able to help everyone in the future.”
Su Wenwu felt highly motivated as he said, “I know that, Father. I will work hard and do more because I also want to become a capable person.”
Su Fengmao felt gratified when he saw Su Wenwu like this. He knew his son had grown up.
Everyone talked for a long time that night and went to bed late.
After a busy day, Su Binglan returned to her room at night and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. She was in a daze as she saw a white mist appearing before her tired eyes before falling asleep.
Then she heard a voice, “Sister. Sister?”
It was a young boy’s voice, and he was calling out to his sister. The voice sounded warm and familiar.
Su Binglan did not know why, but she could not help but walk toward the voice’s direction. Then the fog parted and disappeared before her.
She appeared in an enormous house with many maids and servants in the courtyard. Everyone was busy as Su Binglan continued walking forward.
However, no one could see her as she seemed to be transparent.
Then, a mysterious force sucked Su Binglan into a big, beautifully decorated room. It seemed to be a little girl’s room. A little girl, about six to seven years old, was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Her hair was messy, and Su Binglan could not see her face.
“Sister?” A little boy’s voice approached. Then a handsome boy ran into the room, waking the little girl as she opened her eyes in a daze.
When the little girl saw the boy, she revealed a worried expression, “You’re not well, Brother. Stop running around.”
The little girl quickly got down from her bed and pulled the boy over as he looked back at her with a gentle gaze. Even at such a young age, the boy’s eyes were full of affection. One could tell he adored his sister.
“Didn’t you say you enjoy reading various books, Sister? Here, these are the ones I bought for you.” The boy held a few miscellaneous books in his hands.
Su Binglan looked at the book titles and realized they were about folk and Chu Country customs.
The boy seemed interested, but Su Binglan looked at the girl’s appearance and was surprised because the little girl looked just like Su Binglan when she was a child.
Su Binglan felt puzzled and continued reading the book titles.
Then the little girl said thoughtfully, “Thank you, but it’s not safe for you to run around, Brother. Please stop running around.”
“I know, but I just wanted to get you everything you like.”
The two siblings read the books together smilingly when a gentle female voice sounded, “Ruozhu, Roubing?”
A gorgeous and gentle young lady who looked to be in her twenties walked into the room. “Ruozhu, I knew I’d find you here with your sister.”
The little girl stood up and said, “Don’t scold him, Mother. I was the one who called him over.”
The young lady smiled helplessly and said, “You’re always protecting your brother, Roubing. Don’t worry. I won’t scold him.. However, your father will soon lead his troops into battle, and I will follow him since I don’t know how long we’ll be away this time, but you two must behave yourselves, okay?”
