There was a reason why Gu Zi dared to advertise her braised pork so boldly. She had sampled the offerings from many braised pork shops in the city, and none of them could compare to the flavor of the dish she made using her own recipe.
If her braised pork was only slightly better than the city’s offerings, the city dwellers would not bother to travel all the way to her shop. However, given that her dish was significantly superior, she was confident they would come for the taste.
Gu Zi’s tasting promotion ended quickly. The delicious braised pork was so popular that anyone who tried it would bring others to taste it. Within half an hour, a large box of braised pork was completely devoured. She began to pack up, preparing to head home.
Just as she turned around, she saw two middle-aged people approaching her. The man was in front, followed by the woman – Gu Shan and Zhang Mei.
Whenever she went out for promotion, Gu Zi would deliberately dress simply, even wearing a hat to shield herself from the sun and wind. She did this to conceal her beauty, lest it distract people from the delicious food she was promoting.
This was not Gu Zi being arrogant or boastful. If she didn’t hide her appearance, it would be difficult to achieve the promotional effect she desired. It might even be counterproductive.
However, she didn’t expect that despite her low-key attire, she would still run into acquaintances and be recognized.
Gu Shan stopped in front of her cart, and Zhang Mei stepped forward. After a few glances, she confirmed, “Gu Zi, it really is you. Why are you setting up a stall and becoming a self-employed worker?”
Gu Zi responded calmly, “Uncle Gu, Aunt Zhang, hello. Yes, I’m out here promoting braised pork. Unfortunately, the tasting is over. Otherwise, you could have tried it. Please come to the town and support our business.”
Zhang Mei scoffed, “We didn’t come to support your business, nor to taste your food. We just wanted to remind you that you’re now Su Shen’s wife. How can you expose yourself like this? People will say we, the Gu family, didn’t educate you well. Lin Miao is still in jail, what kind of karma is this?”
Gu Zi found this amusing. What did Lin Miao’s disgrace in jail have to do with her running a business? Such feudal thinking was unacceptable.
As for Su Li, Gu Zi laughed when she looked at him again. She walked over and asked, “What happened? You haven’t even finished half of the filling, and your ambition is already worn out?”
Hearing his mother’s voice, Su Li sat up abruptly, “Mom, you’re back. You should make the dumplings. I’ve already told my brother that I’ll wash the dishes later. Making dumplings is too much work!”
Gu Zi ruffled his hair, finding his laziness rather endearing, “Alright, I won’t force you.”
Gu Zi washed her hands and joined Su Bing in making dumplings. Gu Zi was quick, she could make two dumplings in the time it took Su Bing to make one, including rolling out her own wrappers.
Before long, the sound of Shi Tou’s voice echoed from the doorway. It must have been Su Li who opened the door for him, “Fairy Auntie, Fairy Auntie, we’re having dumplings at our house today. They’re filled with pork. My grandma asked me to bring some for you to taste…”
He walked over to Gu Zi and handed her a bowl containing eight large dumplings. Gu Zi took one and tasted it, then said to Shi Tou, “It’s delicious, Shi Tou. Wait a moment, we’re also having dumplings at our house today. They’re filled with taro and pork. You should try them too.”
