The youth exclaimed, “That’s amazing! Everyone can differentiate between the fillings with different colors.”
The woman looked at Su Binglan excitedly, her heart full of gratitude toward the young lady. Although the man did not say much, he was excited, too.
Su Binglan said, “Now you won’t have to serve different dumplings on different plates anymore. You can place a variety of dumplings on a single plate since they have different colors. The customers can choose whichever they want.
“Thank you for your guidance, madam,” the woman said gratefully, “l don’t know how else to thank you. Here are some dumplings we prepared earlier. If you don’t mind, you can bring them home and cook them yourself.”
The woman prepared to pack the dumplings for Su Binglan. The former did not know what else to give Su Binglan as thanks.
“There’s no need. My husband and I were just passing by. Don’t worry. I can always return here if I want more dumplings.”
The woman said, “All right then. You must come here for more dumplings whenever you pass by again.”
Su Binglan looked at the youth’s father and said, “Sir, I’ve studied medicine before. Can 1 give you a quick checkup?”
‘M-Medicine?’ The youth and his parents were stunned again. Before the youth and his father could react, the woman hurriedly said, “Thank you so much, madam! Quick, let the young lady take your pulse, dear.”
The woman’s husband finally returned to his senses and stretched his hand.
Su Binglan checked the man’s pulse and said, “Sir, do you experience erratic heartbeats, congested chest, dizziness, and wheezing whenever you work too hard?”
The youth’s father was amazed as he looked at Su Binglan with shock and awe. He replied, “Yes, I experience those symptoms, madam.
“l went to a doctor once, and he prescribed me some medicine, but they didn’t work. I felt heart and chest pains whenever I worked in the fields. It still happens a few times a day.”
The woman knew Su Binglan was capable. She looked at the latter nervously, unsure if she could cure her husband.
“It’s not severe,” Su Binglan said calmly, “I’ll treat you with acupuncture and then prescribe you a few medicines. You’ll be okay after three sessions of treatment.”
The youth and his parents were ecstatic to hear that but suspected they had misheard Su Binglan.
Although the family had opened a dumpling restaurant and improved their lives, the youth and his mother were concerned about the man’s health. The mother and son wanted to save as much as possible to send the man to a better doctor.
They did not expect the young lady before them to be an excellent doctor.
‘Did madam say she can cure my father in only three sessions? Did she say acupuncture?’
The mother and son had taken the man to see a famous doctor in town, but the doctor shook his head and only told the man to take it easy. The mother and son were thrilled when Su Binglan mentioned acupuncture.
The trio stared at Su Binglan with widened eyes, and the man asked her to perform acupuncture on him in a daze.
Soon after, Su Binglan prescribed the man some medicine and left with her husband.
The youth and his parents had yet to return to their senses. By the time they snapped out of their daze, the younger couple had already left on their horses. The family of three only saw the couple’s figures at the end of the street.
At that moment, a customer entered the shop and muttered, “Was that Miss Su, or were my eyes playing tricks on me?”
The youth heard the customer. He asked, “D-Did you just say that customer was Miss Sul”
“If I’m not mistaken, one of the two riding the horses just now is Miss Su.” The youth’s mother was stunned. “You mean Miss Su from Su Teng Village?”
“That’s the one. I do business with the Su family. Of course, I know her.” The customer was a merchant who often visited Su Teng Village to buy the Su family’s goods and resell them. He was passing by when he decided to have some dumplings.
The youth asked, “Miss Su knows medicine?”
“Of course. Miss Su is like a divine doctor who treats people cheaply. Miss Su is a good person and has saved many lives. However, she no longer does house calls—her second brother does.
“Although Miss Su l s second brother is very knowledgeable about medicine, Miss Su is the one who taught him everything. Speaking of Miss Su, she is an extraordinary young lady, isn’t she?”
The merchant was enthusiastic and full of admiration as he spoke non- stop about Su Binglan. Most importantly, the youth and his parents still listened attentively.
Meanwhile, the customers in the shop stopped eating to listen in.
“Father, Mother,” the youth said excitedly, “Miss Su came to our restaurant for dumplings. She even praised our food and guided us!”
The woman nodded and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “Father will be okay now, too!” The youth jumped around while his parents became teary-eyed.
The trio thought they should continue running their dumpling restaurant well since Su Binglan said she would return for more dumplings.
The family was excited while the customers in the shop overheard the youth saying that Su Binglan had eaten there. Before long, the entire town heard the news and swarmed the shop in the middle of the afternoon.
The shop had no more room, and people even queued outside despite winter. Everyone wanted to taste the dumplings because Su Binglan had praised the family’s food.
The youth and his parents were swamped. Even so, they were full of excitement and enthusiasm. They became more energetic, and their mental outlook improved.
When the customers entered, they were polite toward the youth and his parents. They felt they had to be respectful to the people Su Binglan praised. Moreover, people heard that she was King Lan Ruozhu!s “adopted” sister.
People knew it was a special status, and anyone who could build a relationship with Su Binglan was truly capable.
The youth and his parents looked at the customers apologetically. They felt they had made their customers wait long before serving them. However, the customers were understanding.
One of them said, “That’s okay. I have nothing much to do today, so there’s no rush.’
Soon after, everyone else expressed their understanding and acted amicably. Moreover, they were excited to taste every dumpling variation in the new family- style dumpling platter.
The youth’s mother explained, “Miss Su gave us this idea and named this dish just now.”
Later, the family changed the signboard at their shop’s entrance to
“Family- Style Dumplings.”
They wanted to name the place “Miss Su l s Dumpling Shop,” but they knew it would be disrespectful to her, especially without her permission. Ultimately, they named the place after what Su Binglan named their dish.
The family was busy until late at night and could not even take a break. The youth said, “Mother, we had several times more customers than usual..”
