As soon as Wan Shu opened her eyes, she transmigrated into a vicious stepmother who cheated on her husband, emptied their coffers for her lover, and abused her stepchildren.
She had three scr...
As soon as she got home, Wan Shu started making a new pot of braising liquid.
The five little ones were curious when they saw what she was doing: "Mom, there's still a pot of braising liquid over there for the crayfish, why did you start another pot?"
“Crayfish are aquatic creatures, and even if they are deep-fried, they will still retain some fishy smell. Crayfish braising sauce cannot be used to braise other things, and…” Wan Shu revealed a mysterious smile: “The braising sauce that Mother wants to make today is completely different from the taste of crayfish and offal.”
The five little ones scratched their heads in confusion.
I really can't understand what flavor Wan Shu can make in braised food besides spiciness.
Wan Shu didn't bother to curry favor with them. While adding chili peppers to the new braised food, she sprinkled sugar into it as if it were free.
Her actions stunned the five little ones.
"Mother, what are you doing?!"
"Sugar is so precious! Mother, why did you pour all the sugar into the braised food!"
"If you do that, won't the braised food become unbearably sweet? The whole pot of braised food will be ruined!"
"Don't worry, this pot of braised food will definitely not be ruined." Wan Shu continued with a smile: "It's precisely because it's sweet that it tastes good."
This time, what she wants to do is to create the famous XX brand of black duck products in modern times, which are actually sweet and spicy duck products.
Wan Shu grew up in an orphanage and never ate anything good as a child.
She ate duck for the first time when she was in her twenties, and it was also the first time she had ever tasted such sweet meat.
She subconsciously felt that it was strange that the meat was so sweet, and that it was both sweet and spicy, which was something she had never heard of or seen before.
However, she felt strange, but she couldn't stop eating. Before she knew it, while watching TV, she had devoured a whole bag of duck products.
This sweet and spicy flavor is perfect for watching TV shows.
The Great Sheng Dynasty did not have televisions, but people had the habit of drinking alcohol. Sweet and spicy duck products were the perfect accompaniment to alcohol.
Moreover, the sweet and spicy flavor can bring a sense of novelty to the residents of Dashengchao who are used to pure salty and spicy food, which helps to retain old customers and attract new customers.
However, the five little ones are still unaware of these intricacies.
They looked at the large plate of chicken, duck, and goose offal in front of them, which had been braised black by Wan Shu, and hesitated.
My mother added so much sugar, and it turned out so dark after braising. Can this stuff really taste good?
While munching on a duck neck, Wan Shu asked them with a smile, "What, did Mother make this? Don't you all want to try some?"
The five little rascals realized what was happening and shook their heads to show their loyalty.
"No, no, we want to try it!"
"This was made by Mother, so even if it's poisonous, we'll definitely try it!"
Not to mention, this duck stuff has so much sugar added! It would be such a waste not to eat it!
With that thought in mind, the five little ones no longer hesitated, each picking up a piece of dark, sweet and spicy braised meat and putting it in their mouths.
As they chewed, the initial hesitation on their faces turned into amazement.
They couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Siya: "Wow, so this is what meat with sugar tastes like! It's not only not bad, it's also sweet and spicy, which is very delicious!"
Wu Ping, who has a sweet tooth, exclaimed, "This is the best meat I've ever eaten!"
Even Dazhu, who doesn't have a sweet tooth, gave his approval to the sweet and spicy duck: "Although it's a taste I've never had before, it's really delicious. I believe the rich people in the county will definitely like this novel taste!"
Er Ya and San Shun nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, we believe that sweet and spicy duck products will definitely sell very well, maybe even more so than crayfish!"
Wan Shu laughed and finished off a large plate of duck offal with them before habitually giving instructions to Wu Ping.
"Go pack a bowl of duck parts and take it to your maternal grandparents' house. Ask them how they like it and if there's anything that could be improved."
She took a bowl of duck offal and went to Aunt Wang's house.
It's almost lunchtime, and Aunt Wang's family is cooking.
After the autumn harvest, our family became wealthier. Now that the rainfall has decreased, flowers, fruits, and vegetables are growing well.
The Wang family's dinner was much more substantial than it had been before the autumn harvest.
A large pot of millet porridge, plus a large bowl of stir-fried greens, with a few bits of pork lard visible in the greens.
There was also a small dish of pickled vegetables.
This food is top-notch, not only in Qingshui Village, but also in the surrounding villages!
However, no matter how good the food was, these bland dishes paled in comparison to the bowl of duck offal in Wan Shu's hands.
This is meat, and it's meat from the Wan Shu family!
Even though the bowl of meat was mostly bones and looked dark, Aunt Wang was too embarrassed to accept it.
"We already ate a huge bowl of your braised food and crayfish before, how can we accept such a big bowl of meat from you now? Sister Shu, take it back right now!"
"Sister Dafeng, these are offal from chickens, ducks, and geese. They're not worth much, but I'm not letting you eat them for free. This is a new product I'm planning to sell. It has a rather unique flavor, and I'm a little unsure about its quality, so I wanted you to try it out and see if there's anything that needs improvement."
Dafeng is Aunt Wang's name.
Hearing her address so affectionately and her words so sincere, Aunt Wang accepted the gift with a slightly embarrassed expression and said to her, "Sister Shu, the food will be ready soon, please stay for dinner!"
"Well... my five little ones are waiting for me to come home for dinner, maybe next time," Wan Shu said with a smile, politely declining. She then asked, "Why isn't Uncle Village Head home?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang's husband replied with a smile, "Where is Father not at home? It's just that it's harvest time recently, and we need to pay taxes to the government. Father is afraid of making a mistake, so he's checking the numbers inside. Do you need to find him?"
Wan Shu nodded: "There are some things I'd like to ask Uncle Lizheng."
"Then I'll take you inside to find your father!" Aunt Wang warmly led Wan Shu into the inner room.
Wang Lizheng knows a few characters, and can do arithmetic, but not very well.
Although he was extremely careful and focused on checking the taxes, he didn't realize that Wan Shu had arrived until Aunt Wang called him.
"Oh my, another wealthy wife? When did you arrive?"
Aunt Wang still had to work in the kitchen, so she left after bringing the person over.
"They just arrived." Wan Shu replied, and was about to ask about the land purchase when she heard Wang Lizheng say something very happy.
"You've come at the perfect time! I was just saying I'd come find you after I finished looking at these projects!"
Wan Shu asked in confusion, "What do you want with me?"
Wang Lizheng said with a smile, "Of course I have good news to tell you! Rich wife, you have no idea how much you have done for our Great Sheng Dynasty!"
