Su Binglan added, “I need the seafood in bulk, too.”

Ye Feiran was stunned, not expecting Su Binglan to want her seafood. Most importantly, Su Binglan wanted to order in bulk. Although Ye Feiran had fresh seafood, common folk did not recognize it and dared not try it.

People feared eating something unfamiliar because it might harm their health. Moreover, some were allergic to seafood. Ye Feiran had tried steaming and frying prawns before, but she thought they tasted average.

Still, she worked hard to promote them, hoping people would realize the potential of cooking seafood. If that happened, the Ye family could solely rely on their seafood, which no one else had.

It was not easy to promote seafood, and Ye Feiran could not make anything that tasted better. She even had headaches just thinking of ways to cook. Of course, she never stopped believing in how much potential prawns had, so she brought them to Su Teng Village.

Nonetheless, Ye Feiran never expected Su Binglan to make garlic prawn vermicelli. Ye Feiran thought discussing it with Su Binglan and promoting the dish would help the Ye family’s restaurant. With that, the demand for prawns might increase.

Ye Feiran was shocked but quickly asked, “Do you genuinely want to buy seafood in bulk, Binglan? As far as I know, common folk know little about it. Even if we tell them, they might fear eating such a thing. The cost isn’t cheap, either.’

She figured she should clarify these things to Su Binglan. After all, one must have integrity when doing business. Furthermore, Su Binglan was Su Wenwu’s sister, and Ye Feiran could not bear to harm her.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Don’t worry, Feiran. I said I’d buy them in bulk because I’m confident in selling them.”

She exuded a confident glow, making Ye Feiran involuntarily believe in her. The latter was in a daze and felt an indescribable charm.

Ye Feiran said, “1 can give you a 30% discount if you genuinely want to do that.”

A 30% discount was close to the cost, but Ye Feiran wanted to foster a good relationship with Su Wenwu!s younger sister. Su Binglan knew it was cheap.

She said, “l want to open many restaurants in the south. We can even combine seafood restaurants with hotpot restaurants. For example, a skewer shop can make skewered lobsters during summer and spicy crab during autumn. People can even enjoy seafood hotpots during winter.”

Ye Feiran felt she could not keep up with Su Binglan. The former asked,

“Binglan, did you mention lobsters and crabs?”

‘I’ve never heard of such things before. Are they like prawns? What’s a lobster?’

Su Wenwu was just as stunned when he heard those words.

“Lobsters are lobsters,” Su Binglan explained, “The spicy crab dish I

mentioned includes crabs in the recipe.”

She longed to eat spicy crayfish and crab because they were delicious. Just thinking about it whetted her appetite.

Su Binglan believed that the lobsters and crabs she made with her special recipe would be irresistible. She knew many people would want to try those.

Although people might not recognize such ingredients initially, Su Binglan could slowly introduce them in Su Wenwu’s hotpot restaurants. Su Wenwu could offer free samples again to pique the customers’ interest.

Su Binglan realized her brother and Ye Feiran were still puzzled, so she said, “Crayfish are just like prawns that grow in seas or rivers. However, crabs grow in freshwater lakes. I plan to look for these when I visit the south.”

Ye Feiran still felt doubtful.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘Since Binglan can find these things, why would she need to buy them in bulk from me? She could save costs if she found them herself.’

“Binglan, if you can find crayfish and crabs, why buy them from me?”

Su Binglan knew Ye Feiran’s doubts, explaining, “Well, I’m unfamiliar with how the south works. If I do something I’m not supposed to, I might cause trouble for myself. It’ll be less troublesome if 1 cooperate with your family.

“If we collaborate in the south, I can rely on your family. I also don’t plan to use a large workforce to gather these ingredients. I’ll help locate them, and you can hire people to catch them.”

Finally, Ye Feiran understood why Su Binglan needed her help. Even if Su Binglan did not buy seafood products from Ye Feiran, the former would still ask for the Ye family’s protection.

Still, Su Binglan chose to cooperate with the family. Although Ye Feiran struggled to understand why, she knew what was good for her. Ye Feiran looked at Su Binglan gratefully, saying, “Thank you, Binglan.”

Su Binglan said, “You don’t have to be so polite. You and my brother are close, so you’re one of us.”

She remembered Luo Jin’an saying that Ye Feiran had helped the Wei army, so she wanted to help Ye Feiran, too. Moreover, Su Binglan felt Ye Feiran could be her sister-in-law. It was not easy to find someone as capable as Ye Feiran.

Su Binglan added, “The South has many delicacies the North doesn’t have. I heard your family has a few restaurants. You should add some new dishes to them.”

Ye Feiran’s eyes lit up when she heard that.

‘Will Binglan provide me with new recipes?’

“Binglan, can I buy some recipes from you if you have them?”

Su Binglan waved, saying, “There’s no need for that. I’ll just jot down a few recipes for you to bring back. We have plenty of dishes and delicacies here, so it’s no big deal to share some with you..”
