Luo Jin’an lowered his head and took a bite. Su Binglan looked at him expectantly and asked, “How is it?”
He savored the taste and raised an eyebrow, saying, “Mmm! It’s delicious!”
Although he had eaten many delicacies in Su Teng Village, none tasted like the spicy crab. The others were even more confident that the crabs would be delicious after hearing Luo Jin’an’s praise.
Su Binglan glanced at everyone and said, “Let’s eat, everyone. Just do as I did.”
The others then picked up a spicy crab and began to eat. Everyone was shocked when they took their first bite.
“This is too delicious!”
“Oh, it’s pretty spicy.”
“It’s not too spicy for me. It tastes just right.”
Some could not help but exclaim in admiration. Everyone was excited to eat such delicious food and grew intoxicated by the spiciness. However, some could not tolerate spicy food as their tongues would go numb.
Su Binglan was happy to see everyone enjoying her food. “If it’s too spicy, you can eat the boiled crab. The spicy prawns beside it aren’t as spicy as the crab. Here, let me show you how to peel and eat the prawns.
Everyone followed Su Binglan’s methods and began eating the prawns.
“It’s so delicious that I think I could cry.”
“I’ve never tasted anything so delicious.”
“Your Highness, you’re simply the god of food. Amazingly, you were able to come up with such a tasty dish.”
The maids and servants were excited to eat something so unique. Su Binglan even told them that she had yet to sell these dishes to the public. It meant that those of the Wei Manor had the privilege of tasting the dishes first.
“l also made juice and wine. The wine contains alcohol. Those who can’t tolerate alcohol can try the fruit juice.” Su Binglan then told Su Chun to take the wine and juices from the box.
“Is this the Su family’s wine? We’ve heard much about how high-quality it is.”
“Ah, there’s fruit juice, too? I didn’t expect this. I heard it tastes excellent.” Everyone became excited when they heard about the fruit juice and wine. “l heard we might not even be able to buy this juice elsewhere.”
“Yeah, me too. Apparently, only Dingzhou’s Flower County produces fruit juice. Still, there’s a limited supply.”
“Thank you for everything, Your Highness.”
Su Binglan had prepared plenty of wine and juice for everyone. The maids and servants could drink and eat to their hearts’ content. Even Su Chun was excited when she saw the juice.
She had not stopped thinking about the fruit juice since she first drank it with her master. Su Chun also thought the canned foods from Flower County were just as delicious.
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife, asking, “You set up a juice factory in Flowe County?”
Previously, Luo Jin’an was busy helping Lan Ruozhu with the war. When the war ended and Lan Ruozhu became the emperor, Luo Jin’an helped him with other things.
Luo Jin’an was only able to chat with Su Binglan after doing all that. However, the couple only talked about the capital. Luo Jin’an knew nothing about the juice factory.
Su Binglan smiled and explained, “I wanted to set up the factory when I visited my mother’s godparents. When I came here, I put my subordinates in charge of building two factories in Flower County. One was a canned foods factory, and the other was for making fruit juice.
“My mother’s godparents are busy planting and harvesting mung beans at home. The others are working at the canned factory, but my subordinates look after the juice factory.
“Canned foods and fruit juices are popular everywhere, especially in Flower County. They’re even struggling to meet the demands. The orders have been backed up for a few months, so I plan to open some factories here to supply the goods to the people directly.”
Su Binglan’s factories had begun sending their goods to all parts of Chu Country. However, the country was vast with a large population, so there were not enough goods. People in the capital could not even buy these things even if they wanted to.
Lan Ruozhu lived in the capital since becoming the emperor. Therefore, Su Binglan planned to open some factories in the villages surrounding the capital. It would also drive development and provide the people in the capital with even better food and drinks.
Although many women and children could not drink alcohol, they could drink fruit juice. Flower County had plenty of apricots and fruits, so it was convenient to make canned food and juice there.
Su Binglan thought she could perhaps organize the villagers there to plant more fruit trees. They could also mine some of the barren land to grow food and fruits.
Su Binglan had not sat still since coming to the capital. Besides taking revenge and helping Lan Ruozhu, she had been studying the capital’s situation.
There were many people here as well as in the surrounding villages. However, no one was proficient in farming, and there were still many wastelands in the area.
Su Binglan felt she could use some of the hills to grow tea leaves, fruits, and vegetables. Simultaneously, she could use the plains to grow crops and open factories.
After all, the latter would provide job opportunities for the local villagers. If the capital prospered, it would drive Chu Country’s development.
Su Binglan took a box and opened it. She then removed three bottles of fruit juice from it and said, “I brought watermelon juice, peach juice, and apricot juice.”
The factory made the juices according to the methods she had provided. It differed from freshly squeezed juice and had a unique taste. Since it was hot during the summer, drinking cold juice would feel refreshing.
“Have a taste.”
Luo Jin’an took a sip and sighed. “It’s refreshing and quenched my thirst.”
Su Binglan smiled. “I’m also planning to make ice cream and open an ice cream factory. Eating ice cream during summer will cool you down.”
She had no time to make such a thing since Chu Country was just at war. Now that the civil war had ended, she could finally do these things.
“Do you need me to do anything for you?” Luo Jin’an would support his wife in whatever she did.
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “You’re now the Great General and a Duke. Ruozhu wants you to rebuild and reorganize your family’s army. You have many things to tend to, so you can’t worry about things like opening a factory.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make something delicious for you to eat when the time comes.” Her intention was always to cook her best foods for her husband to taste first.
Luo Jin’an smiled lightly and said, “All right.”
Meanwhile, Su Chun opened the wine and juice bottles and placed them on the table. Su Binglan looked at everyone and said, “Eat and drink till your hearts’ content, everyone.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
“You’re too kind to us, Your Highness.”
The maids and servants felt warm inside and could not stop smiling after eating and drinking such delicious things..
