Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chief Yang was familiar with construction work, so he could understand Su Binglan’s blueprints. Additionally, she had drawn them with great detail, making it easier for him to comprehend.
Chief Yang was shocked and speechless for a long while as he looked at the exquisitely designed blueprints. He could tell at a glance that the medicinal herb factory was extraordinary.
It was evident Su Binglan was talented and capable.
After gathering his thoughts, Chief Yang said, “Don’t worry, Miss Su. I’ll gather the villagers to build the factory according to your specifications.”
He was thrilled and could not wait to gather the villagers. He had never seen such a vast factory before. Su Binglan’s explanation seemed a little too fantastic, but he knew what she wanted with the factory.
Su Binglan nodded, saying, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, please don’t hesitate to ask me, Chief Yang.”
“All right, I will,” Chief Yang said while excitedly looking at the blueprints. Su Binglan added, “I’ll need to build three similar factories.”
Chief Yang was shocked, thinking, ‘She needs three factories at once?’
He whispered, “Don’t fret, Miss Su. I’ll get the best workers on this. But what are the other two factories for?”
Su Binglan planned to use one as a herbs processing plant and the other for making ketchup. Tomatoes were a delicious ingredient, and ketchup was an essential seasoning for many delicacies. Most deep-fried foods would taste even better when dipped in ketchup.
She could also make sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour eggplant, and so on. When all of Chu Country or even other countries bought ketchup, Yang County would develop even faster. Perhaps the factory might even run out of ketchup if many people bought it.
Su Binglan said, “I’ll use one of the factories to produce bamboo tubes, wooden tubes, gourds, and other sorting tools.”
She had looked around the county and noticed that the surrounding soil was suitable for tomatoes to grow. Moreover, there was plenty of bamboo on the mountain, which was suitable for making tools.
If he set up a factory here to make utensils, she could use it to store ketchup or some medicinal herbs. She could also sell these utensils anywhere.
The three factories would drive Yang County’s development. Moreover, the villagers could also earn money by cultivating and picking tomatoes, besides medicinal herbs.
If common folk had extra money, they would naturally spend it, which in turn would drive the local economy. Moreover, the things the factories produce would be in high demand.
The herb processing plant could produce daily pills that various drug stores sell. If the commoners had a headache or a simple fever, they could get medicine straight from the pharmacies. There would not be a need to see a doctor.
People would also sell better food for a living, and they would undoubtedly use plenty of ketchup. Even ordinary folk could cook with ketchup. Although most knew little about seasoning, ketchup was an easy ingredient to use that would make their cooking taste better.
“I’ll use the other factory to make ketchup. It’s a sauce made from tomatoes,” Su Binglan said.
Grandaunt Yang nodded. “Cousin, the red fruits I gathered are tomatoes. Although it’s sour, it tastes good when used in cooking. You’ll know what I mean when you try cooking with it.”
She could not stop praising tomatoes because the food she ate was unforgettable, Perhaps that was the key to Su Binglan’s delicious food.
Chief Yang was shocked, thinking, ‘Are tomatoes that good?’
The villagers had plucked and eaten tomatoes before, but they thought it was just a sour wild fruit. Some could not even stand the sourness because it made them uncomfortable.
Everyone thought tomatoes were just fruits they should eat raw. They never considered using it as a cooking ingredient.
“We can cook with tomatoes? Aren’t they wild fruits?” Chief Yang was shocked.
Grandaunt Yang smiled. “Miss Su says it’s also a cooking ingredient and that we can also eat it raw. It’s not poisonous, but it’s nutritious and good for the body.”
She did not know what nutrition was, but she believed Su Binglan’s claims. Therefore, the old woman used the words Su Binglan had used to explain tomatoes to Chief Yang.
Chief Yang said excitedly, “l didn’t know we had such a beneficial fruit in our village. We must gather the villagers and tell them to cultivate more tomatoes. If they do well, we can earn money from it.”
He asked thoughtfully, “Miss Su, is it easy to cultivate tomatoes?”
Su Binglan smiled. “Of course it is. 1 can teach the villagers how to do it, too. It’s the perfect season to plant tomatoes.”
She had observed the climate in Yang County and thought it was an excellent time to plant tomatoes. Since she would spend some time here to arrange the factory, she could take the opportunity to teach the villagers how to grow tomatoes and some medicinal herbs.
Chief Yang did not expect Su Binglan to be so easy to talk to, He nodded excitedly and lowered his head, saying, “That’s perfect! I thank you on behalf of the villagers, Miss Su.”
Su Binglan hurriedly stopped him from bowing. “You don’t have to thank me, Chief Yang. I want to teach the villagers how to cultivate tomatoes because I need the factory to produce more ketchup. Don’t worry. I will purchase all your tomatoes and medicinal herbs.”
Chief Yang was delighted to hear that. He felt Su Binglan was a fantastic person who was there to help the villagers. Chief could imagine how much the villagers’ lives would improve once the factories were in full swing—a fiery passion burned in his heart when he thought about it.
He knew the villagers would be delighted to hear the news.
Grandaunt Yang, Yang Cheng, and the others felt a warmth in their hearts as they listened to Su Binglan’s conversation with Chief Yang.
Yang Cheng wanted to work hard in the factory when his legs recovered fully. While recovering, he would plant medicinal herbs and tomatoes at home. That way, he could improve his family’s life as soon as possible..
