Su Binglan noticed the weather at the border was much harsher and was worried Luo Jin’an would catch a cold. She also knew he cared about his subordinates and wanted to help him.
Everyone would feel warmer if they were to sleep on a heated brick bed at night. That way, they would not freeze even if there was a blizzard.
Su Binglan looked at the weather outside and thought there would not be any blizzards for the time being and that the sun should shine brightly these next few days. Therefore, the people there could use the brick beds after taking a few days to set them up.
Although Luo Jin’an could not bear to let his wife tire herself out, he could do nothing about her insistence. Still, he did not expect Su Binglan to know how to make brick beds.
Su Binglan quickly drew some blueprints while her husband arranged for someone to call the few families from the village over.
Wei Cheng was somewhat puzzled and asked, “Master, do you have something important to announce? Is that why you’re calling everyone over?”
“Bing wants to help everyone set up brick beds,” Luo Jin’an said, “She needs everyone to come over to teach them. That way, everyone can work together and finish setting up brick beds much quicker.”
Wei Cheng said in surprise, “Building brick beds is a craft. Does Madam even know how to do it?”
Luo Jin’an turned to look toward the house. He looked at Su Binglan as she drew and smiled. “Yes, she knows.’
Lin Zheng proudly added, “My master knows a bunch. You’ll discover how capable she is soon enough.”
Blue Two and Blue Three agreed.
Wei Cheng became highly emotional. “Master, you married a treasure of a lady.”
Luo Jin’an agreed that Su Binglan was indeed a treasure. She was beautiful, and he sometimes wanted to hide her from everyone. Luo Jin’an knew he could only protect her happiness if he stood in a higher position.
At that moment, he looked at the sky with a profound and dark expression. No one knew his thoughts. However, Wei Cheng, Wei Ying, and the others felt a terrifying aura coming from their master.
Luo Jin’an’s aura was too powerful, making everyone shudder. Still, they could not pry into their master’s thoughts but knew the change in their master’s demeanor was related to Su Binglan.
Wei Cheng thought of the food he had eaten at noon and excitedly told Luo Jin’an, “Master, the food Madam made was delicious. We’ve never eaten such tasty food before.”
The food was so delicious that it would make anyone reminisce about it. Wei Cheng was already looking forward to dinner time.
Luo Jin’an could not bear seeing his wife trouble herself. He said, “You guys can learn how to cook.”
Wei Cheng noticed his master’s expression and could not help but laugh. He knew his master was worried about Su Binglan. “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll learn. Learning such culinary skills can only be beneficial.”
Soon after, everyone in the village gathered. Everyone stood in the courtyard and was very respectful when facing Luo Jin’an.
“Master!” All of Luo Jin’an’s subordinates greeted him. Everyone knew him and would never betray their master. After all, these people would have died long ago if it were not for Luo Jin’an, let alone live here.
At that moment, Su Binglan had finished drawing her blueprint. Luo Jin’an grabbed her hand and said, “Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my wife, Su Binglan. Treat her like you treat me whenever you see her.”
He introduced Su Binglan to his people solemnly, especially when he told his subordinates to treat her as they would treat him. It resembled him telling his subordinates that whatever she said went.
Everyone was shocked.
‘Is that Masters mistress?’
Although they did not know Su Binglan, they noticed her beauty. She also looked very compatible with their master as she stood next to him.
“Madam!” Everyone was respectful.
“There’s no need to be so polite, everyone. We’re all on the same side.” Su Binglan smiled lightly with her eyes curved into crescent moons. Her smile made everyone feel warm.
She held up her blueprint and said, “We called everyone here to teach you how to set up brick beds. The brick bed will be warm if you set a small fire underneath it. That way, you won’t have to suffer the winter’s coldness.”
The few families in the village were either hidden guards or soldiers. Everyone knew about brick beds but had never built one, mainly because they were at the remote border.
Luo Jin’an’s subordinates had asked the locals for help, but most who knew how to build brick beds no longer lived at the border. Therefore, Luo Jin’an’s people built houses here with wooden beds.
However. wooden beds were not as warm as brick beds. Thev could be warmer if they had the latter.
Although they had heard there were wild animals in the back of the mountain, they were not afraid because they had each other. They also had enough firewood to burn.
Su Binglan looked at everyone’s bright eyes and showed them the blueprints. “A brick bed is similar to a stove. It’s just that there’s a small area here for the beds. If we put firewood in here, we can warm up the beds. This area here is for the smoke to escape…”
She explained the brick-laying method to everyone in detail. Everyone was intuitive and quickly understood her explanation. Then she started leading everyone to build the beds together.
They also prepared soil to pile up the brick beds, and Su Binglan joined in. Everyone looked at her helping out and did not know what to feel. They thought Su Binglan was lovely and approachable.
She smiled at them and patiently helped them if they did anything wrong.
After a few days of hard work, the brick beds were ready. Luo Jin’an’s bed was the first to be completed as Su Binglan quickly dried the cement with her powers.
She had also taught everyone how to cook simple meals these past few days.
She could even make delicious food for them. Everyone around Su Binglan started calling her Madam, too,
Most who learned cooking from her were women, and they worshiped her culinary skills. Meanwhile, Wei Cheng, Wei Ying, and the others had been eating Su Binglan’s delicacies these past few days.
Luo Jin’an’s health had also improved exponentially. However, Su Binglan noticed they needed more firewood and called Lin Zheng to the mountain to help gather more wood.
Upon hearing Su Binglan was going to the mountain, Luo Jin’an became worried and said, “The mountain here is different from the one back in Su Teng Village. Wild animals roam around here, so it’s more dangerous.” “We can defend ourselves.” Su Binglan did not fear danger.
“l know that, but I’m still worried about you going there,” Luo Jin’an sighed. He would stay by his wife’s side to protect her if he could use force. Still, he was concerned about her going to the mountain.
“I’ll get Blue Two and Blue Three to come with me if you’re that worried.”
Su Binglan pondered momentarily and did not recall seeing any animals in Su Teng Village’s mountain.
‘Since there are wild animals here, 1 can hunt. Then I can give the villagers what I caught to eat. Everyone can improve their cooking together. Although I have many things in my pocket dimension, I don’t always have to eat the things I stored there. Sometimes, it’s better to use local materials..’
