160 Chapter 160 New Year’s Gift (3)
They mainly sold the recipes she provided, along with some date cakes and yellow rice cakes. If she guessed correctly, they should also be millet cakes.
Of course, there were also expensive desserts, but a cloth covered them.
She had wanted to walk past them, but after seeing Second Uncle Gu looking over, she had no choice but to walk over. “Second Uncle, how’s business?”
“It’s alright, much better than a few days ago. How come you have time to go shopping?”
“It’s almost the new year, so I came out to buy some New Year’s gifts.”
“Oh, right. It’s already the 16th, and it’s time to prepare for that. You haven’t tried your Aunt Liu and Second Aunt’s cooking, have you? ” Second Uncle Gu asked. “I’ll give you some.”
“Oh, it’s alright. You should keep it and sell it for money.” Zhou Ying quickly stopped him.
Finally, she pointed at the yellow cake. “This cake looks too plain. You can try adding some raisins, dried dates, or red beans on top or in the middle.”
“That’s true. I’ll bring it up to them later.” Second Uncle Gu nodded in agreement.
“Alright, you guys continue.” When Zhou Ying said this, she looked at Gu Chengxi, who was curled up in the cold. “Chengxi, if you’re cold, get up and move around. It will get colder sitting there.”
“I know, third sister-in-law.” Gu Chengxi raised his head and said.
Zhou Ying was stunned when she saw the cold sores on his face, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she ordered some dried fruits, small yellow croakers, and other fish.
After making the reservation, she returned to her restaurant and got busy.
In the afternoon, the dried fruits, frozen fish, and fresh fruits Gu Chengrui ordered arrived. Zhou Ying asked for them to be placed in the warehouse.
In the evening, Zhou Ying didn’t tell Da Hua to go back. Instead, she asked her to go with Qiu Niang and Chun Niang to make as many desserts as possible so that she could gift them.
The next day, after the gifts were prepared, she gave them to Sun Hongliang and Gu Chengrui. The men send the gifts in the name of Grassland Taste Restaurant.
Meanwhile, she carried two pounds each of desserts, dried fruits, beef, and mutton to send to the neighboring shops with good relations.
Of course, there were many returned gifts three days later. The shops nearby gave away their own goods, plus some dried fruits.
As for the county mayor and the others, they return with many gifts too. The county mayor gave a complete set of expensive stationery, two batches of silk cloth, two boxes of the most expensive desserts in the county, and a set of gold jewelry.
The others were primarily rolls of cloth and different fruits; some gave sets of silver jewelry, and some gave makeup.
Doctor Luo was the most pragmatic of all. He gave Gu Chengrui a set of silver needles, two boxes of snake oil ointment for hand protection, and a pair of gold bracelets.
In the end, it was Manager Liu who gave the most.
A large bag of each of the following, dried fruit, fresh fruit, cured meat, and dried meat. Two jars of wine, eight pieces of high-quality cloth in different colors, two sets of stationery, two high-quality stamps, a collection of gold jewelry, and a set of white jade jewelry.
Zhou Ying was speechless after receiving these. This was an exorbitant amount of gifts, and she felt rich just by receiving them.
Sun Hongliang laughed at her shocked expression. “Don’t be surprised, as it’s just a small gift from them. Their business has been doing very well since they launched their braised meat products. Moreover, there are more than 30 Hongyun Restaurants in the entire country. So, who’s the one getting rich here?”
“That’s because of their abilities. But since you’ve said so, I’ll accept it with peace of mind.” Zhou Ying said with a smile.
After that, Manager Liu personally came in a horse carriage and said, “Ms. Zhou, come here quickly. General Zhou’s return gift has arrived.”
“You split the gifts into two waves?” Zhou Ying smiled and greeted him.
