Although Yang Chengs leg had yet to recover, his eyes still shined brightly. He tightened his grip on his walking stick and felt energized. Initially, he needed to rest instead of moving around so much.
However, he wanted to visit his grandaunt’s cousin, Chief Yang, because he wanted to know more about the herb factory.
Su Wenxiu understood Yang Chengs feelings when he saw the latter’s persistent gaze. That was why he allowed Yang Cheng to walk around as long as the latter did not hit his leg on something.
Yang Cheng could imagine the changes that would occur in the village as he listened to Su Binglan and Chief Yangs conversation. Yang Chengs heart pounded from excitement.
After speaking with the village chief, Su Binglan prepared to visit the town to check it out. They had arrived at Yang County pretty late yesterday, so Su Binglan could not assess the county’s situation properly. Additionally, the weather was perfect for a visit to the town.
“Miss Su, I’ll get someone to call Yang Xiao. His name is Yang Xiao,” Chief Yang said, “He knows a lot about Yang County. Let him be your guide,”
“That’s sounds great.” Su Binglan nodded.
Chief Yang and his wife had two sons. The eldest had a wife and children but was usually pretty busy with his work. The youngest was diligent and would always work in the fields after breakfast.
Soon, Yang Xiao returned. On the way home, his mother told him everything Su Binglan had said. Yang Xiao excitedly ran home as quickly as possible. He was shocked when he saw the stunning Su Binglan.
‘Is she an angel?’
Chief Yang said smilingly, “Miss Su, this is my youngest son. He may be young, but he has helped me a lot since he was a child.” He then turned to his son and said, “Miss Su is a noble person, so you must be a gracious host, understand?”
Yang Xiao nodded earnestly. “l understand, Father.”
Soon after, Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu boarded the carriage with Yang Xiao and headed to the town while Doctor Yang and her family of three stayed in the village.
Yang Xiao felt surreal as he sat in the carriage. After all, he had never ridden in one before. Yang Xiao carefully sat down but felt reserved and restrained. Moreover, he realized the carriage did not need a driver. Instead, the horse moved independently.
He did not know Falling Snow was a spiritual warhorse that Luo Jin’an had gifted Su Binglan. Thus, she would bring it everywhere whenever she visited faraway places.
Falling Snow would always obey Su Binglan. She had also fed it plenty of spiritual spring water. Nonetheless, it was no ordinary horse.
“Miss Su, there are more than ten villages around the county, but they’re all nearby. Everyone grows wheat and some vegetables in these mountains and hills during spring.
“Still, Yang County isn’t as big as other counties, and it takes only fifteen minutes to walk from one end to the other. However, a few shops have recently opened here. Some of them include Binglan’s Desserts, Su’s Cured Meats, and Su l s Tofu.
“The town is more lively than usual because of those shops. Many wealthy folk come here to buy products from there. I heard the Su family’s products are delicious.’
Yang Xiao had only heard of these shops but had never gone in to check them out.
Sy Binglan raised a brow, wondering when she opened a dessert shop in Yang County. She recalled Lin Zheng telling her about his past before she visited the prefecture.
At that time, Su Binglan told him that he could open dessert shops anywhere he wanted. Still, she did not expect him to act so soon.
Su Binglan listened to Yang Xiao attentively as they rode the carriage. When the trio reached the county, Su Binglan got off the carriage and said, “Let’s go to the shops and take a look.”
Yang Xiao was puzzled because he had never been to these shops before. Bluntly put, he could never afford the products in these shops because his family’s financial situation was questionable.
However, Yang Xiao knew Su Binglan could afford such things as he watched her enter the dessert shop. When he followed suit, he was amazed at all the desserts inside.
‘There are so many different kinds of desserts!’
Upon entering, he could smell the sweet and enticing fragrances. He could tell the desserts here were exquisite and delicious. He only looked around but did not think of trying the desserts for himself.
To him, the price tags seemed pretty high, as a single pastry would cost a few coppers. Some desserts would be charged per pound and cost more than ten coppers, while the more expensive ones cost dozens of coppers each.
Yang Xiao could only sigh as he looked around.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan checked out the layout of the dessert shop and realized it was the same as in Tenghe Town.
The waiter saw Su Binglan and welcomed the trio warmly, “Hello there. Which dessert would you like? Will you get one for yourselves or buy them as gifts?”
Su Binglan asked, “Is your manager in?”
The waiter said, “I’m sorry, ma’am. Our manager isn’t in, but he said he would make some time to make monthly visits. May I know why you’re looking for him?”
The waiter thought the young lady before him possessed an extraordinary temperament, so he spoke carefully.
Su Binglan asked, “What’s your manager’s name?”
“Um, I’m not sure if I can tell you his full name. We call him Manager Lin, but he says his master is Miss Su Binglan. That’s why our shop is named after her.
“You’re in one of the many chain stores across many counties. The recipes for these desserts are exclusive, and we have free sample pastries.”
Su Binglan finally felt confident that this was indeed one of Lin Zhengs chain stores. It seemed he had taken his master’s words to heart.
Su Binglan said, “Okay, I’ll pick some for myself.”
She then picked up a basket and began to fill it with deserts. The waiter saw this and thought that she had visited the store before. Hence, she knew what to do.
After choosing her desserts, Su Binglan asked the waiter to pack them and then paid the bill. Yang Xiao was stunned and amazed as he watched. The shop differed from others. The customers could choose whatever they liked and then pay afterward.
In other shops, the waiters would have to serve the customers. The latter would not be allowed to service themselves..
