Luo Jin’an’s expression softened when he met his wife’s expectant gaze. He took the spoon and scooped the milk tea into his mouth. He became wide-eyed as the sweet taste filled his mouth. It tasted unique and gave him a refreshing feeling.
Su Binglan noticed his expression and eagerly asked, “How is it? Do you like it?”
Luo Jin’an smiled. “It’s tasty and unique. It’s also fragrant.”
Su Binglan was happy to hear it. “I plan on opening a milk tea shop. Since one of the shops you gave me is in the city center and pretty close to home, I’ll use that one.
“Then, we can buy milk tea whenever we want instead of making it ourselves.
The people will also enjoy it because there’s more than this flavor.”
Luo Jin’an smiled and said, “I’m sure the other flavors will taste as good as this one. Everyone will be thrilled to drink milk tea. Even your fruit juice was a hit, let alone milk tea.’
He knew how well the milk tea shop would do. After all, his wife always had a way of doing business. He believed the milk tea would be as popular as everything his wife had previously made.
“Oh, the popsicle should be ready now. We can try it soon.” Su Binglan then called Su Chun and Su Ju over. The duo went to the ice cellar to get the popsicle she had made.
Su Binglan took out the popsicle and said, “Su Chun, tell Butler Zhou to bring everyone inside. I made a popsicle for each person.”
As the duo went to do their master’s bidding, Su Binglan took two popsicles and went looking for her husband in a hurry. At that moment, Luo Jin’an had just exited the study. He said, “Slow down. Don’t fall.”
His voice was full of affection as he reached out to hold his wife. Su Binglan handed him a popsicle, saying, “Here, have a taste.”
“All right.” Luo Jin’an nodded and smiled. He then took the popsicle and ate it. Immediately after, he looked surprised as he felt his mind and body relax. The popsicle had helped to relieve the summer heat from his body.
Luo Jin’an felt the heat around him dissipate when he ate the popsicle. He thought the popsicle was magical as he felt a cool sensation inside his body. The popsicle tasted sweet and fruity, but the sweetness was perfect.
Su Binglan observed her husband’s expression and knew he enjoyed it. She said, “I’ll make some more if you like it. Since it’s summer, you’ll want to eat more of these. We’ll make them ourselves.’
Luo Jin’an sighed. “Thanks for this, Bing.”
Su Binglan shook her head. After all, she enjoyed making such things. That night, she did not sleep early. Since she was in a good mood, she called everyone to make more popsicles.
Everyone had just finished their popsicle and thought it was delicious. They became energetic and motivated when they heard they would make popsicles.
With everyone working together, they finished making popsicles quickly. Moreover, they typically did not sleep early in the summer. When there was nothing to do, everyone would sit in the courtyard after dinner to chat.
They would only go to sleep when the cool wind blew in the middle of the night. Still, everyone was delighted now that they had something to do. The staff at the manor were excited after eating their popsicles.
They did not expect such a thing and wanted to eat a few more. However, Butler Zhou told them not to overeat because they might get sick after having too much. The people of this era had to adapt to such food.
After savoring the taste, their stomachs felt comfortable, They felt the sweltering weather just now, but not anymore.
Shen Qiuhua was sweating as she cooked at home in the afternoon. She said, “l wonder if Binglan has gotten used to living in the capital. She’s been there for a long time now.”
Su Fengmao wiped his sweat as he attended to the fire, saying, “Don’t worry.
Binglan often sends us letters, so we know what it’s like in the capital now. I heard she wants to open shops and factories there.”
He knew his daughter could not sit idly by and that she would be busy. As her parents, the older couple could only support their daughter.
Shen Qiuhua said, “It’s not that. We just haven’t seen Binglan in a long time.
I’m not just to it.”
“You’re not the only one who isn’t, dear. Even the villagers aren’t.” Whenever Su Fengmao went out, the villagers often asked if Su Binglan had returned from the capital. Everyone missed her.
Even so, Su Teng Village continued to improve, and the villagers would soon harvest their wheat and sweet potatoes. Everyone looked at the fields and knew their yield would be much higher this year. Their production had doubled, which was exciting.
Shen Qiuhua smiled and said, “Yeah, 1 guess everyone misses her. Still, even though the capital is bustling, I think it’s still not as good as our village. Our Grand Theater is so famous that even people from the surrounding towns visit to watch the plays.
“A new batch of students has enrolled in Wenxiu’s medical school, so more doctors have come to teach them. All the students have to go through an assessment now.
“Also, Wenxiu used the other building Binglan gave him as a large medical center. The treatment and medicine are affordable for the people. I also heard Wenxiu is preparing to open a chain of medical centers. He’ll be even busier.
“When the time comes, he will put his successful students in charge of his medical centers.’
Su Fengmao said, “l don’t understand much of what he’s doing, but 1 know he’s doing a good thing for the people.”
Shen Qiuhua responded, “Of course. Everyone is grateful to Wenxiu and
Binglan.. What do you think about that student of his—that Zi Die girl?”
