By selling the recipe to the Star Gazing Tower, she gained a powerful backer, enabling her to rival the Lin family. She could also earn a living by selling ducks and bring her cousins along to work, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
Su Murong even doubted whether this woman was really a country girl.
Lin Shih-kang's falling out with her might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
“Young Master, I’ve already inquired. The Lin family doesn’t have any deep-seated hatred for her. It’s just that some unruly villagers can’t stand her living a good life. Moreover, when Miss Yang divorced her husband, she took the Lin family’s house and vegetable garden, and also demanded the return of the thirty taels of silver that the Yang family had given to Lin Shikang back then. Lin Tanhua’s relatives and clansmen hold a grudge, which is why they have been bullying others. Miss Yang was forced to leave Ji’an Village, but they still haven’t given up. A few days ago, Lin Mingcai was beaten by our people, and they blamed it on Miss Yang, which is why they made a scene.”
"One Lin Shikang has made them so arrogant, huh." Su Murong sneered. "Then you should agree to her request, but you have to do as she says and demonstrate even more value in the future."
"What about the work for her two cousins? We could arrange for two helpers to work in the restaurant's kitchen."
"You can arrange this as you see fit," Su Murong said.
"Yes," Manager Yu replied respectfully.

Early the next morning, Manager Yu personally went to Anjia Village and signed a contract with Yang Cui. Tomorrow, Manager Yu will bring four apprentices to learn how to make roast duck and turtle jelly from Yang Cui.
An Xiaohe and An Xiaojiang can also go to work at the Star Gazing Tower tomorrow. To make roast duck, you need a roasting oven. An Dafu has already made one for Yang Cui and has gained experience, so Manager Yu asked An Dafu to make a larger roasting oven for their restaurant, with Yang Cui providing guidance. Of course, making the oven won't be free; the Star Gazing Tower will pay for it, which made the An family happy again.
"Xiaocui, come over for lunch. We really need to thank you for finding work for your two younger brothers." With their jobs secured, finding them spouses won't be a problem, and their lives will look brighter and brighter.
At noon, Mr. Wen killed a chicken and invited Yang Cui's family over for lunch.
With a smile on her face, Madam Wen said, "Xiao Cui, thank you so much for your two younger brothers this time. Come on, have some food." As she spoke, Madam Wen put two of the best pieces of chicken into Yang Cui's bowl.
"Thank you, Aunt."
"Why are you being so polite with us, we're all family?" Madam Wen put another piece of meat on Yang Cui's plate, and then said, "Xiao Jiang and Xiao He have jobs now, so it won't be hard to find them husbands. Now it's just Xiao Hai left. Xiao Cui, you really are something. With such a good opportunity, why didn't you take the chance to introduce your cousin Xiao Hai to work as well? He's the eldest son, and it wouldn't be good if his two younger brothers had jobs while he, as the eldest brother, was idle at home."
Upon hearing this, Yang Cui frowned slightly, her face displeased, and she put down her chopsticks: "Aunt, from what you're saying, you're blaming me."
