When a person shows off only a limited amount of attention-grabbing skills, they become easy prey to avarice.
Yet when someone brings forth an abundant supply of powerful tools and talents, that greed is held in check as those around choose to coexist in a friendly manner.
They might even admire and honor them.
Ingenuity and talent were coveted like precious assets in later generations. Those with true skill were sought after relentlessly.
The same goes for culinary prowess.
When she'd only revealed two of her recipes that had already been sold, Yang Ye expressed the intent of bringing her back to Wang Residence to serve as a kitchen maid.
His attitude then was carefree and arrogant.
Now, upon witnessing her uniqueness and high-skilled craftsmanship, Yang Ye's demeanor changed.
He started to regard her with respect.
When he took a seat, so could she.
Yang Ye didn't care when she stood up to Bai Zhi's arrogance today.
It was clear, she had won her gamble.
