156 Became Intelligent
Su Binglan smiled faintly and said, “Unfortunately, I cannot accept your offer, Mr. Wang. However, you can send your staff to buy some from us if you want.”
She could not cooperate with Drunken Cloud because the tofu her family sold was short in supply, and they only sold it once a day. Moreover, she wanted to do her own business and open more shops in the future alongside her family.
...Doing such a thing would require some uniqueness, and Su Binglan could not sell her family’s specialties to Drunken Cloud. Therefore, she only sold them two recipes when she was in urgent need of money. As for her other original recipes, she would need them in the future.
Mr. Wang felt disappointed, but he knew to build a good relationship with someone as capable as Su Binglan. With that, he would not force Su Binglan to cooperate with him.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Wang. I will continue cooperating with Drunken Cloud on the potatoes and chilies.”
Su Binglan sold the two recipes to Drunken Cloud because she wanted to distribute the potatoes and chilies to the villagers during spring and teach them how to grow them on a large scale.
Everyone had tasted potatoes and chilies at that point and knew they were delicious, so there would naturally be high demand for them. Then the villagers could sell the potatoes and chilies to improve their living conditions.
As for the sweet potatoes, Su Binglan stored them in her dimension. When winter arrived, she would tell Su Wenzhe to sell roasted sweet potatoes at the tofu shop’s entrance.
Mr. Wang could not figure out what Su Binglan was thinking but was relieved when she said she would continue selling her potatoes and chilies to Drunken Cloud. He believed Drunken Cloud’s business would keep booming with these two items.
He sighed in relief and said, “In that case, I am relieved.”
Su Binglan was about to leave Drunken Cloud when a man in an off-white robe entered Drunken Cloud. She simply walked past him because she needed to go to the market.
She wanted to cook in the backyard behind her shop so she could send the food she made to her husband and the two little ones.
Luo Jin’an was still a little weak and needed more nourishment, while Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were still growing and needed nutrition.
Nonetheless, the man in the off-white robe was Xu Yunchu, and he recognized Su Binglan.
Su Binglan walked past without even acknowledging him. She thought it was strange when she looked at the man. If she had seen him in the past, she would have bugged him long ago, but the current Su Binglan entirely differed from her predecessor.
“Young Master Yunchu, that young lady was Su Binglan. I was afraid she would annoy you, but I never expected her to pretend not to know you.” Xu Yunchu’s servant was puzzled.
Xu Yunchu said, “She’s different from the past.”
The servant snorted and said, “Is she playing hard to get?”
Xu Yunchu shook his head and said, “No, she glanced at me with no intentions, as if she was looking at a stranger.”
His servant asked, “Young Master Yunchu, how can you tell?”
His master responded in a low voice, “I can tell by looking into her eyes. I have no doubts that she has changed.”
Su Binglan had become intelligent, and even Mr. Wnag was full of praise for her.
…
Su Binglan had forgotten about Xu Yunchu. She immediately went to the market to buy something after leaving Drunken Cloud. After getting what she needed, she returned to the shop’s backyard to make lunch.
She had bought the shops because there was a backyard that acted as a resting place and kitchen. It would be convenient for her to cook and eat there at noon whenever she went to town.
