Su Wenzhe excitedly described the scene at the riverside. Meanwhile, Liu

Yinyin noticed Su Binglan cooking and went to wash her hands. Then, the former went to Su Binglan and said, “Let me help you.”

Su Binglan did not object, saying, “Flatted the dough with a rolling pin. I want to try them in the pot to make chicken rolls.”

Liu Yinyin did not know what that was, but she knew it would be delicious.

Without delay, she picked up the rolling pin and got to work. She had grown

accustomed to cooking with Su Binglan, so she did things quickly.

Then, Su Binglan went to the stove and fried the flattened dough. Afterward, she scooped them out and placed them on a large plate for later.

Su Wenzhe was still talking about the waterwheel at that moment. Su Binglan asked, “Big Brother, was there really that many people surrounding the waterwheel?”

Su Binglan returned home in the evening, so she did not see that many people at the riverside.

“Yeah, everyone swarmed to the riverside after work when they heard about the waterwheel. Since that was the case, Yinyin and I followed them out of curiosity.

“We were at the back of the crowd and could barely see the waterwheel, but everyone recognized us and made way for us. They could not stop praising you, too. Oh, the people from other villages also want a waterwheel in their village. ”

Su Binglan said, “Well, they can always build their own, but it’ll be challenging. ”

The waterwheel’s structure looked straightforward, but it was not. The villagers might not be able to make it even if Su Binglan gave them the blueprint.

She did not build the waterwheel, but her cousins did. She said, “If the others want waterwheels for their village, they can raise funds and hire Cousin Wenxing to make one.

“Cousin Wenxing said he’d only charge his clients for the cost and not the workmans.h.i.+p because the waterwheel is highly beneficial to a village.”

Previously, Su Wenxing told Su Binglan that he wanted to build waterwheels for free. However, Su Binglan mentioned that they took time to build and that he could build many pieces of furniture within that time.

After some discussion, the two decided on only charging the villagers for the cost of the material if they wanted waterwheels for their village. Ultimately,

Su Wenxing and Su Binglan wanted to help the villagers instead of profiting. However, Su Binglan was not the one who built the waterwheel, so she considered her cousin’s costs.

Su Wenzhe sighed in relief when he heard that. “It’ll be much more affordable if Cousin Wenxing only charges the villagers for the material costs. Then every village can afford waterwheels.”

Su Wenzhe hoped for the people from other villagers to have things Su Teng Village had. That way, farming would be much easier for everyone, including those who do not live in Su Teng Village.

He had farmed in the past and knew how tiring it was to fetch water from the river and then return to the fields to water the crops. Anyone would feel exhausted after a day’s worth of walking back and forth with heavy buckets.

Su Binglan smiled, saying, “From what you’re saying, I can tell you’re concerned about those from other villages.”

Su Wenzhe smiled embarra.s.sedly and said, “l learned that from you, Sister. You’re like my role model.”

While frying the flattened dough, Su Binglan said, “Big Brother, help me wash the radishes, cuc.u.mbers, and green onions. I’ll need them later.”

“Okay, I’ll get to it.” Su Wenzhe looked forward to his sister’s cooking. Therefore, he was efficient in his task.

After frying more than ten pieces of dough, she shredded the washed vegetables. She then cut the chicken b.r.e.a.s.t.s, added some seasonings, and then steamed it in a pot. Soon after, she made poached eggs.

Later, Su Binglan added a mix of chicken, carrots, cuc.u.mbers, onions, and other vegetables to each flatbread. She even added spicy sausages and poached eggs to them.

Afterward, she rolled and tied them using vegetable leaves. Although the cooking method was straightforward, the dish was abundant in nutrients.

As Su Binglan finished cooking, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai returned from school. Su Binglan had sent one of her Shadow Guards to pick them up from Blue Mountain Academy, so she did not worry about the little ones’ safety.

That way, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin did not have to pick up their sons from school every day.

The two children were thrilled when they smelled the food. They knew they could finally eat their aunt’s delicious cooking again.

Su Wenzhe looked at his sister and sighed. “So those are chicken rolls, huh?

They look amazing.”

Su Fengmao frowned when he noticed that the sky had already darkened. “Why aren’t your mother and Wenxiu back yet?”

As soon as he said that, the two arrived. He asked, “Why are you home so late?”

Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “l went to check out the waterwheel with Wenxiu. Since everyone went there, we figured we should join in the fun.”

Su Binglan was surprised. She did not expect everyone to be so curious about the waterwheel. After some thought, she found it understandable. She thought people of the modern era would be amazed by their ancestors’ wisdom, too.

Su Fengmao said, “Now I want to see what you guys are talking about. I feel a little left out.’

Su Binglan said, “Father, the meal is ready. You can see the waterwheel tomorrow. ”

“Oh, okay. Let’s eat then.” Su Fengmao smelled the fragrance as he helped Su Binglan with the fire just now. The aroma made him hungrier, so he could not wait to try the chicken rolls.

During dinner, Su Binglan asked about the paper mill.

Shen Qiuhua said, “Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about it. Many of the workers have reported to the paper mill. There were more than thirty of them, so I arranged for them to stay in the dormitories.

“Each family has one room. Fortunately, the new dorms are bigger, with some having several rooms for a family. I’ve asked everyone for their opinions on their living arrangements, too. They just hope to stay as a family. I even gave them meal cards to use at the dormitory cafeteria.”

Su Binglan had hired some people to cook at the dormitory cafeteria after the New Year celebrations.

Shen Qiuhua felt a little emotional as she added, “It wasn’t easy for those families, right, Binglan? Thank goodness you gave them jobs at the paper mill to make a living.

“l noticed that most of them wear tattered clothes. Although it’s spring now, it’s still cold. Some of them didn’t even have shoes when they arrived. They felt nervous and afraid when they came with the invitations you gave them. Some of those children were so skinny, and I pitied them..”
