Su Wenwu said happily, "Song Yi will be thrilled, Little Sister. I'll tell him about it tomorrow."
He would have told Song Yi about the stinky tofu sooner if Song Yi had not lived so far away.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan's expression changed when her third brother mentioned Northern Mountain Village. "Your friend is from Northern Mountain Village?"
"That's right, Little Sister. Do you know about that place? It's quite far from here, deep in the mountains.'
"Yes, I know," Su Binglan said, "They have many pine trees there, and some people use pine trees for their fire when making pottery."
The Taos from Willow Village typically used pine wood to make their pottery. They bought the pine wood from Northern Mountain Village but went into debt because of it.
After Su Binglan bought the Taos' business, she told Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian to pay off the Taos' debt. Now that the Taos had started making pottery again, they could afford more pine wood.
