"Did you tell them exactly what I taught you, word for word?" Liang Yaozu asked cautiously.

"Yes, not a single word is wrong."

Only after hearing Li Dani's answer did Liang Yaozu show a satisfied expression: "That's good. With this groundwork laid, it won't be long before you can win over Liang Dazhu's heart and use your seduction to get the recipe for braised food from him."

Upon hearing the word "seduction," Li Daniu's face showed humiliation.

But as I said before, given her current situation, she has no right to refute Liang Yaozu's words.

She could only grit her teeth and bear it, asking with a hint of confusion.

"Since you are determined to get the recipe for braised food from the Liang family, why do you want me to tell them and make them wary of us?"

Liang Yaozu glanced at her, revealing an arrogant expression: "How could a mere woman like you understand the intricacies of this?"

"Now, because of your information, although the eldest branch of the Liang family is wary of us, they trust you completely."

"This will help you infiltrate the Liang family's second branch and make it easier for Liang Dazhu to like you. After all, who wouldn't like a kind and upright young girl?"

"Besides, the entire Liang family, especially the eldest branch, are idiots; they'll definitely be fooled by you!"

Li Danu could still tolerate Liang Yaozu's disparaging remarks about her.

But when Li Daniu heard Liang Yaozu cursing that the people of the Liang family's eldest branch were all idiots, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"They're not fools. Whether it's Brother Dazhu and his group or Aunt Liang, they're all very good and kind people!"

"Tch—" Liang Yaozu scoffed at this statement: "It's because they're kind that they're considered fools! In this world, only the wicked, no, only the clever, can survive and climb higher and higher!"

After saying that, Liang Yaozu looked Li Danu up and down with some suspicion.

"All I did was call them stupid, why are you getting so worked up? You don't actually like Liang Dazhu, do you?"

Li Danu's expression tightened, and she immediately denied it: "No way! I just think Brother Dazhu is a good person!"

Liang Yaozu sneered: "That's for the best. I'm warning you, if you don't do as I say, I'll have your father beat your mother to death!"

Da Niu's pupils constricted, her expression filled with pain and resentment.

Liang Yaozu observed her expression, adhering to the principle of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat, softened his tone, and continued.

"But as long as you behave, I will make your father divorce your mother, as agreed in the beginning."

“You know your father best. He has a violent temper and is becoming increasingly unruly in beating people. If we don’t make him divorce your mother, he will beat her to death one day.”

"And in this family, the only person who could make your father divorce your mother is me. If you don't seize this opportunity, you can just wait to collect your mother's corpse!"

Upon hearing the words "collect the corpse," Li Daniu's heart sank uncontrollably. She pursed her lips tightly and could only nod obediently in agreement.

"Don't worry, I will get the recipe for braised food from Brother Dazhu as soon as possible."

The appearance of Li Daniu did not disrupt Wan Shu and the others' plans to set up a stall.

The next morning, Wan Shu, along with Da Zhu, San Shun, and Siya, arrived in the county town.

Today, their braised food stall is a well-known culinary landmark in Sishui County.

As soon as it was put out, a steady stream of people came to buy it.

"Young lady, you've finally arrived! Give me two pounds of crayfish!"

"I've been craving it for two days! I want a pound of pork offal!"

A slightly overweight young man dressed like a rich young master waved his hand and said, "Boss, give me twenty pounds of each!"

Each of them should bring twenty catties, which is a total of forty catties.

Seeing that he ordered so much at once, many customers waiting in line behind him were dissatisfied.

"Why did you buy so much at once! What if the young lady doesn't make much today? Then we won't have any left to buy!"

"Yes! How can you be so selfish!"

The rich young master looked noble, but he didn't seem to have any spoiled attitude. When criticized by everyone, he didn't get angry. He just scratched his head and explained to everyone in a somewhat silly manner.

"I come from the neighboring Qushan County. About five days ago, I heard that there was an exceptionally delicious braised food stall in Sishui County. Everyone who had eaten there praised it highly. And I happen to love food, as you can probably tell from my figure, hahaha."

"Anyway, I've been thinking about this ever since I heard about it. Today I finally had some free time, so I rushed over from Qushan County early this morning."

"I'm usually busy, and I rarely get to come here, so I thought I'd buy more so I could share some with my family and friends and let everyone have a taste. I didn't expect that if I bought it all, it would mean that no one else would have any to buy."

"How about this, I'll just have fifteen pounds of each."

Each item weighs fifteen jin, so the two together weigh thirty jin, which is quite a lot.

However, seeing that the rich young master had a good attitude, and considering that he had come from the neighboring county early in the morning, the crowd didn't say anything more.

After packing thirty catties of braised food for this rich young master and taking care of all the customers gathered in front of the stall, Dazhu and his team were quite pleased.

Dazhu: "Mother, our braised food is famous not only in Sishui Town, but also in Qushan County!"

San Shun: "I believe that after a while, our braised food will definitely become a hit throughout the entire Jingzhou Prefecture!"

Si Ya: "Not only that, maybe it will become a hit throughout the entire Great Sheng Dynasty! Everyone in the Great Sheng Dynasty will know about Liang Family Braised Food!"

The Great Sheng Dynasty was incredibly large, with twenty-four prefectural cities alone.

Moreover, given the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times, attempting to do business throughout the entire Great Sheng Dynasty was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Even so, Wan Shu was quite happy. After all, one should always have dreams; what if one day one gets lucky?

and……

Wan Shu stroked his chin thoughtfully: "I didn't expect the reputation of braised food to spread so quickly. In that case, we can proceed with Mother's next plan."

What's the next step?

The three boys asked in unison, and just as Wan Shu was about to answer, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and looking like a businessman suddenly appeared in front of the stall.

Wan Shu stopped talking and looked at the middle-aged man, asking with a smile, "Brother, would you like pig offal or crayfish?"

The middle-aged man didn't speak directly. Instead, he stroked his goatee, raised his head, and looked Wan Shu up and down with an air of arrogance before finally speaking.

"I don't want pork offal or crayfish, I want your braised food recipe!"
