The man couldn't help but swallow hard; the word "braised" was particularly appealing to him. "Can braised pork ribs taste as good as meat?"
"Of course!" Li Mai saw that the other person had weighed out a small bamboo basket for her and thought the person was nice. She smiled and said, "Next time I'll make it and send it to you to try."
"Really? Then we won't charge you for these. Can you make some and send them to us tomorrow?" The man seemed to be in charge and could make decisions.
Li Mai glanced at the sky and, seeing that there was still time, asked, "My home is far away. Do you have a kitchen here? If so, I'll make you some braised pork ribs. You can find a chef to learn from me."
Upon hearing this, the man glanced at Li Mai in surprise, then looked down at the large basket of ribs, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Come with me."
Li Mai agreed, went over to the oxcart and spoke to Zhou Quan, asking Zhou Lei to look after Zhou Quan and the oxcart while she went to teach them how to cook a dish.
Zhou Quan didn't know why she had to teach cooking again, but thinking of Li Mai's skills, she agreed and told her to be careful.

Old Man Zhou said thank you.
When he came out carrying the pork, he saw Li Mai following a steward toward the house to the south and asked, "Xiaomai, what's wrong?"
"Dad, I'm going to teach them how to cook a dish!" Li Mai turned around, waved to Old Man Zhou, and went into the kitchen.
The kitchen seemed to have just finished cleaning up the lunch dishes; the fire in the stove was still burning, and there were two cooks in the kitchen.
The manager said that this girl would teach them how to cook a dish. The two chefs glanced at Li Mai, who was young and pretty, and were somewhat disdainful. What kind of dish could she possibly know how to cook?
Could it be that the owner wants to replace the head chef and is deliberately using this young girl to humiliate them?
