“Our village is the best around,” Su Wenzhe said, “Even foreign businessmen want to move here.’
Since Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were in charge of the noodle shop, they had dealings with many merchants. Through their interactions, most praised Su Teng Village by saying it was better than many prefectures.
Su Teng Village was not only bustling but also harmonious with a welcoming atmosphere. One could not help but feel relaxed living here. Shen Qiuhua felt the same way.
Hence, she did not want to follow her brother back to the capital when he asked her to. The capital was a complex place with many scheming families. It was nowhere near as good as Su Teng Village.
Here, the villagers could eat and sleep well. Moreover, they were respectful toward each other, making Shen Qiuhua feel at ease.
Liu Yinyin nodded vigorously. “Indeed, everyone talks about how good our village is. Some even asked about the residential houses and if they could buy them. So many people want to move here for work or even retire.
“People even ask about all the factories we have. With so many factories and houses, it’ll be convenient to work and live here. Other people consider moving here because they can send their kids to Blue Mountain Academy.”
The managers and staff at the noodle shop had asked Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin about these things because of how beautiful and spacious the surrounding streets were.
The architectural style of the shops on both sides of the streets differed from the houses around them.
Since it was spring, Liu Yinyin could see many people strolling around in the afternoon. When they got tired, they would sit on the benches by the roadside to rest. She figured they were enjoying the spring breeze.
Only a few shops opened outside the dormitory area beside the embroidery shop. Some sold food, so when people grew tired of shopping, they could buy some snacks.
One of the shops sold multigrain pancakes, and the other sold duck blood vermicelli. People knew those shops belonged to Liu Yinyin’s family.
Most did not know what chain stores were. They only knew those two shops belonged to the same family as the ones in town.
Su Fengmao nodded. “That’s true. The employees at the tofu factory have also asked us similar things. They want to know if it’s true.”
Shen Qiuhua added, “A lot of people want to know if we need more workers for our factories. Those who live in the surrounding villages and even towns want to work here. We just told everyone what we know.”
Su Binglan had built several factories in the commercial area. The Su family would indeed need more workers once those factories opened. Su Binglan said, “Of course, you can tell them about those places. It’s not a secret.”
She only wanted to create more job opportunities for as many people as possible. She looked at Su Wenxiu and said, “I plan to use one of those factories to process medicine.
“We can mass produce commonly used medicines like cold and fever pills. That way, the villagers can get them directly from the pharmacy. Another example is stomach ache medications.
“For this factory to succeed, we’ll need a large amount of medicinal herbs before opening. The ones you and your students grow won’t be enough, so we’ll have to purchase more from elsewhere.
“It’s best to buy medicinal herbs from the villagers directly instead of going through a middleman. That way, the villagers can earn a living by selling their herbs for maximum profit.”
Su Wenxiu felt enlightened upon hearing his sisters words. He happily said,
“That’s an excellent idea, Sister. Opening a pharmaceutical factory and pharmacy will benefit so many people.”
Shen Qiuhua nodded in agreement. “If the villagers have a headache or a simple fever, they would no longer have to visit a doctor. Instead, they can go to the pharmacy to get some medicine.”
“That’s right, Mother.” Su Binglan smiled.
Su Wenxiu seemed to have thought of something, saying, “Oh, Doctor Yang said that the people in his village have dug up medicinal herbs from the mountains. Theyre cultivating their findings and rely on selling their herbs to make a living.
“It’s just that their prices are a little low when they sell the herbs to merchants. If we buy the medicine from the villagers directly, they can earn more.”
“I wonder how much those villagers know about medicinal herbs.” Su Binglan stroked her chin and raised a brow.
Su Wenxiu explained, “Doctor Yang told me the villagers used to live in the capital until they offended an influential person. The villagers then fled to the remote Yang County in Dingzhou and established a village deep in the mountains.
“Most of the villagers are from the Yang family, so they know about medicinal herbs.’
Su Wenzhe did not know where the village was, but he understood what Su Wenxiu meant when he mentioned Yang County. The former said, “Yang County is west of Dingzhou.
“l heard it’s a remote area because the villagers built their village near the mountains. Even so, most live deep in the mountains, and it’s very far from any towns or counties. The road there isn’t easy to traverse, either.”
Su Wenzhe knew these things because he had studied the map and listened to his sister. Therefore, he had an apparent understanding of the geography of various places.
Although he did not think of the Yang Village, he had an impression of Yang County.
Su Wenxiu nodded. “Doctor Yang said that about the roads, too, His family established the village there to survive.”
Su Binglan roughly understood his story. She said, “It looks like I’ll need to make a trip to Yang County to see if 1 can build a medicinal herb factory there.
If so, I can purchase herbs from the local area directly. Still, I must first see if they have enough herbs to meet the demands.”
Su Wenxiu said, “They have plenty of medicinal herbs there, Sister. After all, even the people in the surrounding villages there grow herbs. The merchants who purchase their herbs are even spoiled for choice.
“However, the merchants will pay lower prices if the quality isn’t up to standards..
