She began to chew, her eyes widening in surprise. The slice of pork liver she was eating didn’t have any unpleasant taste, instead, it was dry and fragrant, an alluring flavor that seemed to intensify with each bite. It was, without a doubt, the best pork liver she had ever tasted in her life!

The woman, almost subconsciously, uttered a sentence, “This is so delicious, give me half a kilo of pork liver, and another half kilo of pork feet!” Her husband had been sampling the pork feet and seemed quite satisfied, so she called out for more.

Indeed, it was only natural. The village’s economy had been stimulated by Su Shen, and when his mother-in-law set up a stall, how could the fellow villagers not support her business?

Another man chimed in, “Wow, this pork heart is so chevvy and fragrant, it’s like eating dragon meat. Give me a kilo of pork heart, we’ll have it with our drinks!” He had never tasted dragon meat, but at that moment, he was convinced that it must taste just like this.

Everyone had a taste and was won over by the delicious flavors. Some bought a few ounces, others a kilo, and the stall’s business suddenly took off. It was just as Gu Zi had said, as long as their products were tasty and of good quality, they wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to sell them.

As for the economic aspect, it went without saying. With Su Shen running a pig farm here, it had spurred development. The people of Daqing Village were far more affluent than those in the surrounding villages. Most of them had the means to become customers of the braised meat, and although they were usually frugal, they were willing to splurge a little to treat themselves and their families to something good and different.

When Gu Zi came out, she saw that both Mother Lin and Li Hua were swamped, so she hurried over to help.

The workers from the pig farm had just dispersed when the aroma of the braised meat attracted a few village women. They had originally come to buy meat from the pig farm, as it was cheaper than the market price by a few cents. The villagers would usually come here directly in the morning to buy their meat.

One of the women asked Gu Zi, “Sister-in-law, is this braised meat from your family? How much is it per kilo?”

Gu Zi replied, “Pork offal is 0.85 yuan per kilo, and braised pork feet are 1.25 yuan per kilo. You can try before you buy.” After saying this, Gu Zi handed them the samples. The woman who had asked the question took them hesitantly, her expression somewhat troubled.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally said, “This… I really can’t eat this. I originally wanted to support your business, I’m truly sorry.”

Gu Zi chuckled lightly, saying, “It’s alright. If you can’t eat it, give it to another sister-in-law. Moreover, the taste test is for those who want to buy after trying, not for those who feel obligated to buy after tasting.” She wasn’t angry; her face was calm and serene, a picture of timeless beauty.

The woman who claimed she couldn’t eat the innards watched as others around her did, their expressions revealing a sense of awe. She immediately asked Gu Zi what she had bought. Seeing her companions buying, she wondered, could it really be that delicious?

However, she had already stated she couldn’t eat innards. Wouldn’t buying now be like slapping her own face? With a determined heart, she turned around and went into the factory to buy meat…

Inside the pig farm’s break room, a man entered, his left hand holding a bottle of beer and his right hand carrying a pound of braised pig heart. “Brother Ah Zhuang, ” he said, “I bought some braised meat. You can’t deny this braised pig heart, it’s even tastier than dragon meat. How’s your stomach? Let’s have a few drinks together! I came specifically to find you, that’s brotherhood, right?”

Ah Zhuang, pale-faced, sat up from his bed upon hearing someone enter.

Seeing his colleague so lively and cheerful, he felt a pang of disappointment.

He asked, “Has Aunt Yang not brought you water to drink yet?”

The man who bought the braised pig heart didn’t pay much attention to Ah Zhuang, nor did he understand why Ah Zhuang asked such a question. He replied casually, “Of course she has, but she was too late. She’s slow, not as efficient as your mother. Come, let’s drink!”

Ah Zhuang took the cup of beer and set it aside. He had no strength to drink now. He pressed on, “Has nothing happened outside?”

The man looked at Ah Zhuang with confusion, shaking his head, “Everything’s as usual. What could possibly happen? Stop talking about this, let’s eat quickly. We’ll have to get back to work after we finish eating and drinking.”

Ah Zhuang looked incredulous. How could it be? Everyone had drunk the water, why was he the only one affected?

Just then, another person came to the door. He said to Ah Zhuang and the others, “Hey, what are you two still doing? Hurry up and go. Gather in the hall, Brother Shen has something to announce. I’ll go ahead.”

The man who had come to share the meat with Ah Zhuang deflated upon hearing this, setting down his cup of wine. He said to Ah Zhuang, “Let’s go, I’ll help you. There must be something important. Brother Shen doesn’t usually call for a gathering..”
