Others chimed in, “Indeed, we’ll certainly support your business. However, remember to give us a discount. The braised pork from the braised meat shop is too expensive. We only indulge in it when we really crave it.”

Some even proposed the idea of learning the craft for free. “By the way, Mrs. Chang, can you teach your skills? I can help you without asking for any payment. All I want is to learn some skills. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chang raised an eyebrow. A smile hung on her face, but she was on guard internally.

This recipe could make a fortune, and she couldn’t let others learn it. If they started competing with her business, wouldn’t she be teaching her apprentice only to starve herself? She was no fool to let others learn her craft.

However, she couldn’t outright refuse at the moment. So, she tactfully replied with a smile, “Sure, but I paid a hefty price to learn this skill. If you want to learn, just helping out won’t suffice. You’ll have to pay a tuition fee. If I ever take on apprentices, I’ll notify you first.”

The person who wanted to learn the craft was immediately discouraged upon hearing about the payment. He laughed it off, saying, “I was just joking. Your craft isn’t something I can learn. My son would scold me for not focusing on my work…”

Mrs. Chang sneered inwardly. These people, unwilling to pay, yet wanting to learn her braised meat technique to make a fortune. She dismissed them, thinking, “Stay poor for the rest of your lives!”

She had no interest in dealing with these irrelevant people. Her heart was set on the braised meat. Although most of the work was done by Li Li, she felt at ease only when she was in the kitchen, watching over her precious pot of meat.

Li Li was busy adding firewood and stoking the fire. She also had to serve drinks to the two men outside from time to time or bring them a plate of peanuts to accompany their drinks. Sweating profusely, she felt somewhat aggrieved. After all, she was the one doing all the work!

However, upon reflection, she was just a woman from the countryside. It was a woman’s duty to serve men. Once they started making money, her family would treat her well.

The thought of making money from the braised meat made her even happier. Once she started earning, she would be the boss. She could hire someone to do the work, and she could finally enjoy life!

She was determined to live a more glamorous life than Su Jing. With this thought, Li Li no longer felt tired and continued to work with renewed vigor.

As evening fell, the hearth of the Chang household finally ceased to be fed with firewood. The lid of a large pot was lifted, revealing a pot brimming with meat, steam rising in thick plumes. The meat had been stewed to perfection…

In Daqing Village, the sky was a dull gray, and a hint of chill permeated the air.

Within the pig farm’s main hall, several stoves had been brought in, their bellies filled with burning coal. Each stove bore a cast-iron pot, simmering with a vibrant, steaming, spicy broth of beef tallow.

The soup was brewed with pork bones, chicken, and duck, among other ingredients. A small table nearby was laden with various slices of fish and vegetables for dipping and boiling. The aroma was intoxicating. A dozen people gathered around each stove, each holding a bowl, some sitting, some standing, all engaged in lively conversation.

Jin Long had been enjoying several slices of boiled fish and couldn’t help but exclaim, “This soup base was made by our sister-in-law. It’s truly unique. I bet even a boiled shoe would taste good in it!”

The weather was perfect for hotpot, especially one as delicious as this. It was proof that marrying a good woman could make life incredibly beautiful. Everyone in their vicinity was fortunate to bask in the glow of Su Shen’s good fortune.

Su Bing and Su Li were also seated at Jin Long’s table, beads of sweat dotting their foreheads, but this did nothing to dampen their enthusiasm for the meal. Upon hearing the praises for their mother, they finally looked up to join the conversation. Su Li said, “My mother’s hotpot soup base is unrivaled in the world. Of course, it’s delicious!”

Su Bing added, “Our mother is the most amazing person in the world!” The crowd unanimously agreed, each expressing their admiration. They were singing Gu Zi’s praises so much that it was almost as if they were composing a ballad in her honor. However, Gu Zi and Su Shen were nowhere to be seen around the stoves.

Someone finally asked, after looking around and not finding them, “Why didn’t anyone invite Brother Shen and Sister-in-law to the hotpot? Where are they?” As he spoke, he put down his chopsticks, intending to go find them. But Su Bing and Su Li quickly stood up, blocking his way.

Jin Long teased, “What were you thinking? Today’s hotpot is a benefit from the pig farm. How could they be left out? I advise you not to disturb their private time. While we’re enjoying a lively hotpot, the young couple is probably having a sweet, intimate meal…”
