Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi had always held firm to the belief that every era was abundant with wealthy individuals, and that everyone, without exception, was fond of good food. She was convinced that the affluent would go to great lengths, even if it meant traveling far and wide, to savor delectable cuisine. As long as she could effectively promote it, she was certain that Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop would be teeming with customers and overflowing with profits. She was confident that the Lin family would undoubtedly celebrate a prosperous year.

Upon seeing Su Li enter, Gu Zi lifted her gaze and spoke, “I will prepare the filling for you shortly. You and your brother can make dumplings at home, following the method I’ve taught you. Later, ask Aunt Zhang from next door to watch Lele for a while. I need to go into town to print the posters and do some promotion. Will that be alright?”

Su Li had been eager to try his hand at making dumplings. His mother’s plan was perfectly in line with his intentions. He responded earnestly, like a little man, “Sure, mom. Make sure to prepare a lot of fillings. We are going to make lots and lots of dumplings!”

Gu Zi laughed, “That won’t be a problem. After all, your father prepared the meat filling last night.”

After wrapping up her work, Gu Zi headed to the kitchen to prepare the meat filling. Once done, she gave Su Bing a few instructions before leaving the house with her poster drafts and a large box of braised meat samples.

Upon reaching the station, Gu Zi encountered many villagers. They greeted her warmly, offering her gifts such as farm-fresh eggs, which they insisted on placing in her small cart.

“You must accept these,” they urged. “The pig farm has announced that as the New Year approaches, villagers who buy meat in large quantities will receive wholesale prices. It’s an incredible deal.”

It was common for villagers to buy meat in bulk towards the end of the year, especially with the New Year celebrations and banquets in mind.

Even if a single family didn’t buy enough to qualify for the wholesale price, two or three families could pool their purchases to avail of the discount. This arrangement allowed the villagers to save a significant amount of money. They couldn’t help but express their gratitude to Gu Zi. After all, she was the wife of Boss Su.

The individuals who gossiped about Gu Zi and the Su family were an enigma, seemingly begrudging others’ success. They were clearly beneficiaries of the Su family’s kindness, yet they repaid this benevolence with ingratitude. It was utterly despicable!

One of them asked, “Gu Zi, I heard your sister-in-law’s shop is opening soon. Where is it located in the town? We would love to show our support. The braised pork is truly delicious; my child has been clamoring for it since tasting it once.”

Gu Zi presented a poster to them, explaining, “It’s right here, easy to find. You can visit when you have time. For the first three days of opening, there will be discounts for both breakfast and the braised pork. It’s a great deal. However, the braised pork will only be available in the afternoon, so plan your visit accordingly.”

Someone expressed surprise, “Wow, they’re serving breakfast too? Will they still set up a stall for the braised pork?”

Gu Zi shook her head, replying, “Once the shop is open, we probably won’t set up a stall anymore. If you want to eat, you can go to Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop. Your support is much appreciated.”

The villagers felt that without the stall, the business might not be as thriving. After all, the town had a limited population, and it was unlikely that people would make a special trip just for the braised pork. It simply wasn’t necessary.

However, they didn’t want to dampen Gu Zi’s enthusiasm and outwardly expressed their support with cheerful smiles.

Gu Zi wasn’t blind to their thoughts, but she didn’t care. As long as she was clear in her own mind, that was enough. Soon, a vehicle arrived, and a middle-aged woman helped Gu Zi load her cart onto it. The vehicle then headed towards the city.

Upon arriving in the city, Gu Zi first took out the poster. She then found a spot outside the Golden Sun Restaurant to set up a tasting booth, hanging the poster in a conspicuous spot on her cart. She laid out samples of the braised pork, occasionally calling out, “Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop’s Braised Pork, a brand new flavor, delicious and affordable, come and try!”

In no time, several groups of customers came to taste the pork. When asked about the price, Gu Zi pointed to the poster and promoted, “Our shop will open on New Year’s Day. If you want to buy, you’re welcome to support us then! You can keep it in the refrigerator at home and eat it worry-free for a week.”

One woman found it inconvenient, “Your shop is so far away, can’t you open one in the city? It’s really inconvenient for us. But the taste is indeed delicious, I can’t forget it. I’ll be upset if I can’t eat it in the future.”

Gu Zi patiently replied, “We would love to open a shop in the city, but as a small business, the rent in the city is too expensive. If you really like the taste, why not make a trip when you have time? Our town has picturesque scenery. You can bring your family and children, consider it a day trip…”

A smile gradually appeared on the woman’s face, clearly persuaded. She took out a pen and paper from her black purse, saying, “Let me write down the address then!”

As she said this, the others who had tasted the pork were also moved, and they took out their pens and papers to note down the address.
