Hearing that it was a gift from the butcher, Wan's mother's expression softened a little, but looking at the two fragrant braised pig's trotters, she still couldn't bear to accept them.
After all, she had heard that Wan Shu was in the braised food business, and these pig trotters looked delicious; she figured they could make a lot of money selling them.
