“Thanks for this.” Su Binglan nodded. She believed in her husband but would not interfere in the martial world for the time being. After all, she still had many things to do in the capital.

After the discussion, Su Binglan realized how late it was. She asked, “What would you like to have for dinner?”

Luo Jin’an shook his head. “Let the housekeepers cook tonight. You’ve been busy all day. Please don’t tire yourself out. Just rest.”

“I’ll never get tired of cooking for you,” Su Binglan meant every word.

“You’ve already cooked so much yesterday,” Luo Jin’an said, even though he wanted to eat his wife’s cooking. After all, she could make anything delicious, even with the most ordinary ingredients.

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Why don’t we eat out tonight? We can stroll around the city.”

There was a night market in the capital. Although it was nighttime, it would be bright and lively. The shops in the night market stayed open till about midnight.

Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries often spent their nights in the night market. Even ordinary folks had money to spend, so the streets would still be lively.

Previously, Su Binglan had set up a two-floor hotpot restaurant on the same street. Even at night, the restaurant would be crowded. Even so, it was summer now, and eating hotpot was less than ideal.

Therefore, Su Binglan invented wooden mechanical fans. Since there was no electricity in that era, people would have to crank the fan to make it work. Su Binglan even included a space under the fan to store ice.

Like a waterwheel, the fan would speak the cold air as it rotated, making the hotpot restaurant cooler, even in summer. Everyone could enjoy their hotpot as the fan blew on them.

Such an invention was unique in this era. Everyone thought it was novel, and many would eat at the restaurant just to use the fan.

Although the restaurant was crowded, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an did not have to line up. Instead, they could use private room number one. The room was not open to the public and was exclusive to the Su family.

“All right, let’s eat out.” Luo Jin’an smiled when he saw the excitement in his wife’s eyes. He would accompany her wherever she wanted to go.

The main streets were spacious and full of people shopping. They felt safe to stroll the streets at night because there were squads of royal guards patrolling the area all day and night. No one would dare cause trouble.

Many people even set up their stalls on the bustling streets, as even foreigners visited. At night, they would stroll the streets and eat some delicious street food.

Everyone knew about the new delicacies in the capital, so they were excited to try the food.

“Quick, let’s eat at the hotpot restaurant. I heard they’re hosting a lucky draw.

We have a chance to win some fruit juice.”

“l heard it’s tasty. It’s a pity that I’ve yet to try it.”

“My sister took her son to a hotpot restaurant once, and they won a bottle of fruit juice. She said it tasted unique.”

“Let’s eat at the hotpot restaurant and participate in the lucky draw, too. I want to try winning the fruit juice.”

“It’d be great if there was a juice shop. Then we can drink it anytime we want.”

“l heard many people are eager to buy it. Still, the factories in Teng County can’t keep up with the demand. 1 wonder when fruit juice will be available here.’

“Yeah, I’m almost desperate to try it.”

Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an overheard such discussions as they strolled along the streets. The former smiled, saying, “It seems people can’t wait to try fruit juice.

“Having some iced fruit juice is an excellent way to quench your thirst, especially during summer. Still, there’s mostly alcohol here. There isn’t much else to drink around here.’

This era was unlike modern times, where there were various beverages such as milk tea.

Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan and asked, “How do you make fruit juice?”

Su Binglan explained, “We make it by squeezing the juice out of fruits. Although there’s a factory in the wastelands near the capital, I plan to build a fruit juice factory and milk tea ingredient shop nearby.

“Then, I’ll open milk tea shops all over the country to sell iced drinks. When winter arrives, they’ll switch to selling hot milk tea.”

Almost everyone enjoyed drinking milk tea in the modern era. Since that was the case, Su Binglan thought the people of this era would enjoy it, too. She could tell from the popularity of her fruit juice.

Luo Jin’an smiled, saying, “The people of the capital will be pleased. I heard them talking about how they hoped more factories would open nearby so they could try something fresh.”

“I’ll build the factories soon. When I finish establishing the supermarket, everyone will realize how convenient it is.” Su Binglan smiled back at Luo Jin’an.

She continued, “l feel most shops here charge higher prices sometimes. That’s why the commoners have to bargain for a long while before finally buying something. 1 just think it’s inefficient.

“The supermarket will ensure the prices are fair. I’ll implement price tags so there will no longer be a need for bargaining. People can just buy whatever they see.”

It was Luo Jin’an’s first time hearing about price tags. He asked, “Does that mean everything will have a set price?”

Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, that’s right. It’ll save everyone plenty of time and effort. ”

Luo Jin’an said, “Now that you mentioned it, I can’t wait to see what the supermarket will look like.”

“I’ll start hiring construction workers tomorrow. 1 can start building it once I’ve formed a construction team. Still, I must ensure the supply and use the people we trust to run the cashier counter.”

There was a comprehensive college in Su Teng Village’s development area, which nurtured various talents. The students there knew embroidery, management, martial arts, and many more. These students would play a significant role in the country’s future development.

The couple discussed such things as they strolled around the night market. There were lanterns everywhere, lighting up the streets. Although it was nighttime, it seemed like the sun was out.

The sounds of people hawking, bargaining, and greeting customers echoed through the streets. It made the atmosphere livelier. Patrolling guards even passed by on both sides.

Su Binglan quickly spotted the hotpot restaurant because many people had gathered at its entrance. She knew everyone was queueing up to enter..
