Chapter 693: The Most Prosperous Place
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wenwu’s blood boiled when he thought about it. He wished to open a spicy hotpot restaurant right away. Since he had gained much experience from opening multiple restaurants, he knew how to manage and operate them.
However, eating at hotpot restaurants was expensive, which most people could not afford. Of course, villagers around Su Teng Village could afford it, but they were still reluctant to go so often.
Even so, mala hotpot was much cheaper. Everyone could choose their skewers, allowing them to eat less so they would not overspend.
Moreover, mala hotpots would not be too big. It could fit on a small round table accommodating a few people. Each small pot could fit multiple skewers.
Su Wenwu grew excited, saying, ‘Each pot doesn’t have to be too big. We can open a few more shops, then everyone can enjoy the food. A small shop like that wouldn’t need much of a workforce. Two or three people will do.”
He felt mala hotpot was more straightforward to manage than a regular hotpot restaurant.
Su Binglan noticed his excitement and said, “Since you want to open a spicy hotpot restaurant, let’s do it. We’ll do it like you said, Third Brother. The staff can help cook and put in the ingredients for the guests. Then, the guests can just sit at the table to eat and chat. It’ll save s.p.a.ce, too.”
After some thought, Su Wenwu said, “l have to consider how to open the restaurant. If I open in the morning, the guests can eat mala hotpot earlier.”
He wondered if opening the restaurant elsewhere or beside the other hotpot restaurants would be better.
Su Binglan took a bite of the mala hotpot in her bowl and said, “You don’t have to go through so much trouble, Third Brother. There’s a shop outside the staff dormitory next to the embroidery shop. We own that shop, so we don’t need to rent it.”
Su Wenwu’s eyes widened. “I forgot those shops belong to you, Sister.”
The staff dormitory area was not too small. Employees lived there, and there were rows of shops outside. Old Madam Yangs pancake shop was there. The foot traffic there was excellent, and her business was popular.
When Su Wenwu went to town, he often pa.s.sed that shop and saw a long queue behind it. Many people lined up to buy multi-grain pancakes during Su Binglan’s play.
The embroidery shop, winery, and noodle shops were there, too, Su Binglan also said she would build a few more factories next time so more people would be there.
People would come and go when they worked at the upcoming factories.
Hence, they would frequent the spicy hotpot restaurant. Perhaps it could be even more popular than the restaurants in town.
Su Wenwu raised an eyebrow when he thought about it. He said, “Then I’ll just use one of the storefronts to open the spicy hotpot restaurant?”
“You can use it as you see fit, Third Brother.”
“Okay, then I’ll pay rent to you, Sister.” Su Wenwu felt too embarra.s.sed to ask his sister for help.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “There’s no need to be so formal with me. Just use the s.p.a.ce, We have plenty of vacant shops over there, Some of them are for our use.”
Su Wenwu felt warm when he heard that. He was happy to have a younger sister like her. After all, it was costly to rent a shop.
He could feel more at ease using his sister’s shop. He also did not have to worry about a landlord wanting to stop renting the place, causing him to move to another location.
Su Wenwu knew his sister was capable and did not mind lending him the shop for free. He could not stop thinking about the spicy hotpot restaurant as he ate.
“I’ll start preparing the shop this afternoon so I can open the restaurant in a few days.” He had grown accustomed to doing things swiftly.
However, he thought about something else, “The townsfolk are a little far away to come and try the mala hotpot. They can’t come here too often, right?”
Although Su Xueye was quietly eating at the side, he heard what Su Binglan and Su Wenwu discussed.
Su Xueye understood Su Wenwu!s concerns and considered what he had discussed with Su Binglan that morning. Su Xueye said, “The area near the staff dormitory will be the most prosperous in the future. The townsfolk will be willing to travel here to try your mala hotpot.”
“Why would it be the most prosperous place?”
Su Binglan noticed Su Wenwu’s stunned expression. She laughed and said, “Don’t you remember what I told you? We’ll open a few more factories around there. When the time comes, that place will be more prosperous than Tenghe
Town.”
Su Binglan also planned to open a shopping mall with clothing stores where she could sell her sweaters and down jackets from the embroidery shops.
She would also expand the embroidery shop and hire more girls to make clothes. From her point of view, most women liked buying clothes, no matter what era it was.
Many would go to the mall to buy clothes and shoes if there were ready-made ones. Su Binglan even planned to hire people to make various shoes. She had many ideas but could only implement them in steps.
Su Wenwu remembered something. He said, ‘You told me about it before, but I forgot. That way, our village will be livelier than Tenghe Town. The townsfolk will come and try the mala hotpot then.
“Oh, that’s the commercial street you mentioned before. Can you leave me a shop to open a regular hotpot restaurant? Then, our family can also open their own shops at the mall.”
Su Wenzhe grew excited when he heard that. “You’re too good to us, Sister.”
Su Wenxiu raised an eyebrow, saying, “l want to have a big storefront to use as a clinic.’
Su Binglan nodded. “Don’t worry, Second Brother. The clinic I want to build will be ma.s.sive. We’ll call it The People’s Clinic. You’ll recruit many doctors and run the place.
“l also plan to build a medical school under your care. We can train many more talents there.’
Although Su Binglan had these ideas before, she had many things to do last time. Moreover, Su Wenxiu had just started studying medicine and was not qualified to run a clinic.
However, things were different now. Su Binglan could finally build a medical school, shopping mall, real estate, etcetera..
