Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mr. Wang said, “How much is a pound of mung bean sprouts, Miss Su? Can 1 buy them from you?”
Su Binglan’s smile grew wider. “l won’t hide that there aren’t any mung bean sprouts on the market now. However, I taught my grandmother and her family how to grow them.
“We plan on selling the beans at ten copper per pound, but since you need them for this side dish, we can sell them at nine.’
Although it was only one copper less, Drunken Cloud would save a lot if Mr. Wang bought more. The restaurant would need many mung bean sprouts to serve stir-fried mung bean sprouts.
Naturally, Mr. Wang understood this.
Su Binglan had planned to do this to make things convenient for her grandma and the others. Next time, Lin Qin and her family would not have to go to town to sell the beans. Instead, they would become Drunken Cloud’s suppliers.
By then, Mr. Wang would hire someone to buy and collect mung bean supplies to save time and effort.
Su Binglan had considered everything for Lin Qin and her family. Mr. Wang knew it but was still grateful to her because it was a good deal for Drunken Cloud.
He smiled at Su Binglan and said, “Thank you so much, Miss Su. I’ll follow our deal in Tenghe Town’s Drunken Cloud and collect the mung bean sprouts on a fixed schedule.
“l agree with your price, Your family will also enjoy a 10% discount whenever they dine at Drunken Cloud.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang.” Su Binglan smiled back.
Afterward, the two discussed some details about the deal, and Su Binglan prepared the contract. Soon after, she called her uncle and asked him to sign the contract with Mr. Wang.
That way, Mr. Wang could send someone to Shen Gangs house in Blossom Village to buy and collect the mung bean sprouts.
Although Shen Gang and his family did not need to sell the beans in town, they had to grow them and meet Drunken Cloud’s demands. Still, they could sell the beans in town for extra money.
Nonetheless, the family could improve their living conditions by relying on their deal with Drunken Cloud. The older couple could enjoy their days when they earned money this way.
Even if they helped grow the mung beans, it would not be too tiring. When spring came, Shen Gang and the others could plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and mung beans.
Since winter was ending, Su Binglan had other ideas to earn money. By then, she could open a canned food store in Blossom Village. However, it was best to arrange these things when the time came.
‘It looks like Grandpa and Grandma can relax soon.’
Su Binglan planned to give her grandma the two hundred silver when they returned. Meanwhile, Shen Qiuchuan was still in a daze as the family left Drunken Cloud and entered the carriage.
Shen Zhishan had never seen his father behave like that. In his eyes, his father had always been calm and seldom showed such a shocked expression. Even Shen Zhisha was excited at that moment.
He thought it would be challenging to sell mung bean sprouts in town. He never expected Su Binglan to make a deal with Drunken Cloud instead. Mr. Wang even bought all the beans in their carriage and paid with cash.
Madam Ma’s eyes sparkled. She wanted to say something but could not make a sound. After a while, she gathered herself and said, “Binglan, you’re amazing! I admire you so much!”
‘She has a good heart. I can’t thank her enough for helping us so much.’
Madam Ma knew she would not have to sell the beans in town since the Drunken Cloud staff would come and collect the goods themselves.
She wanted to plant as many mung beans as possible when spring came. Although the family had picked plenty of mung beans from the mountain, they had a room in the house specifically for the beans.
Madam Ma feared not having enough mung bean sprouts and wanted to get a head start on harvesting them. She also considered the potatoes and sweet potatoes.
‘Fortunately, we have plenty of land at home. I don’t fear hard work if my family can live good lives. I can eat and sleep well at home now. I feel content with the skills we have to make a decent living.’
Madam Ma knew her niece was the reason for all this. Although Su Binglan was younger, Madam Ma would not treat her as a child. She knew her niece was extraordinary.
Although Madam Ma had not spoken to many people, she knew her niece and husband were no ordinary people. The two, including Shen Qiuhua, had an undeniable presence.
‘Shen Mohen speaks a lot, but Luo Jin’an has a powerful aura. It’s strange, and I can’t explain it.’
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “You don’t have to say that, Aunt Ma. My grandparents told me you always wake up early to tarm and return home late.
You even help them to store and sell their crops.”
Madam Ma smiled. “It’s always best to be diligent. We can harvest and save more food if I work hard.’
She did not know what else to say. She only knew to be diligent and earn a better life. Since the family had land, she wanted to work hard to cultivate crops for them.
Now, she would plant mung beans and sweet potatoes for the family to help improve their lives.
Su Binglan felt her aunt had merits.
‘At least she’s diligent, even though she’s not good at talking sometimes. Still, that’s all in the past. Aunt Ma treats my grandparents well now.’
Shen Qiuchuan finally returned to his senses after hearing his wife’s and Su
Binglan’s conversation. He said, “T-Thank you for everything, Binglan.”
He did not know how else to express his gratitude as his heart raced. After all, his family had earned over two hundred silver in one go.
Su Binglan said, “There’s no need to thank me, Uncle Qiuchuan. My mother will only feel at ease when Grandpa and Grandma live well.”
Shen Qiuchuan knew he should also thank his sister for all her help..
