73 The Fragrance of the Human World

Su Binglan listened to the hawkers sell their food and looked at the busy workers on the pier and the people on the town’s main street. She could feel the liveliness of the human world.

She thought the human world smelled like a cool spring breeze, unlike the temple she used to reside in. She was in an excellent mood at that time.

She and Liu Yinyin pushed the cart to the morning market and set up their stall in the same place as the previous night.

On the way, someone asked curiously, “Miss, what is in that cart you’re pushing? Why does it smell so good?”

When the two arrived at the town, everyone smelled the fragrance and looked at Su Binglan curiously. However, they were too embarrassed to ask her about it.

Still, some plucked up the courage to ask, especially when they saw Su Binglan and Liu Yinyin walking toward their spot in the market. The townsfolk guessed that the two girls were setting up a stall to sell things. If so, they could ask the girls what they were selling.

Su Binglan smiled and explained, “There’s tofu in here. We’ll sell it when we set up our stall. It’s delicious and nutritious. It will make you healthier and give your skin a better complexion.

“The quality is excellent, and it’s cheap! I’ll even give you a free sample! It only costs six coins per pound, so everyone is welcome to try it!”

Several townsfolk were eager to take a look, especially when they heard about the free samples.

Su Binglan’s voice was booming. She wanted to make sure everyone around could hear her. Of course, she believed her tofu would undoubtedly be famous. She also asked around and discovered there was no tofu in that era.

Nonetheless, the most important thing was that tofu was delicious and nutritious. Su Binglan believed everyone would enjoy eating tofu. There were many delicacies in modern times, but everyone still enjoyed using tofu for cooking.

Su Binglan knew a lot about the modern world because she was a goddess who had experienced it in one of her few lifetimes.

…

When Su Binglan and Liu Yinyin rushed to the morning market, they saw three figures at their original spot.

Liu Yinyin looked at Su Binglan and said, “Binglan, look, aren’t those the robbers from last night?”

The three people stood at the place where Su Binglan had set up her stall last night and occupied it.

When some of the hawkers saw the three threatening figures, they went to set up their stalls elsewhere.

Su Binglan smiled and said, “Looks like they came, after all. When I said they were promising talents, I didn’t waste my breath.”

When Lin Zheng saw Su Binglan, he cupped his hands and smiled, “Boss, you’re here. We’ve booked this spot for you.”

Su Binglan raised her eyebrows and said, “Are you here because I threatened you?”

Lin Zheng hurriedly said, “N-No, Boss! When I returned home and thought about what you said last night, I felt you made a lot of sense. Also, I think you’re strong, so I want to stay by your side!”

Su Binglan looked at Lin Zheng meaningfully and said, “You are smart. However, you must listen to me since you’ve acknowledged me as your boss. I will do what I said last night if you’re not loyal. I will not accept traitors. If you cannot accept that, you should leave now.”

Su Binglan was earnest when she said that.

Lin Zheng replied, “I would never betray my boss, Boss!” He patted his two lackeys’ heads and added, “Don’t you think so, boys?

The two lackeys, Li Shi and Zhou Shan, hurriedly said in unison, “We’re loyal to you, Boss! We won’t zig if you ask us to zag!”

Su Binglan glanced at the trio and said, “I’ll be the judge of that.”
