Zhou Hua felt more and more regretful, finally letting out a deep sigh.
If such good skincare products can’t be sold in the mall, it would really be a loss to the public!
He hoped that the young girl would come as promised after the New Year.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Today was the last day of business for the Noodle Restaurant and the Milk Tea Shop before New Year’s Eve.
Everyone knew that from tomorrow, the Milk Tea Shop and the Noodle Restaurant would start their seven-day New Year holiday. Therefore, even more people than usual came to eat noodles today, and the queue was even longer.
With New Year’s around the corner, everyone’s faces were filled with smiles and the place was filled with joy.
Since today was their last day of business, Zhou Qingshang, Wang Jinfang, and the rest of them insisted on not resting at noon and worked extra hours until nine o’clock in the evening despite what Ni Yang said.
Taking advantage of the time when the four of them were closing up, Ni Yang went to the Vegetable Market.
After everyone had been busy all day, she couldn’t just allow them to go without showing her appreciation.
She bought some chicken, duck, fish, and meat, as well as some vegetables that were out of season, such as lettuce, cucumber, and garlic sprouts. When she passed by the cooked food shop, Ni Yang also bought more than ten jin of Braised Pork Head Meat.
The braised pork head meat was three yuan per jin. Ni Yang gave the Boss three large denomination bills and said, “Auntie, could you please help me bag these ten jin of pork head meat into five bags?”
The Boss took the money with a grin, “Alright.”
Seeing Ni Yang buy ten jin of braised meat so generously, the Boss also gave Ni Yang half a jin of Braised Pork Intestines, “Young lady, take these pork intestines to try at home.”
The braised meat Boss was also good at doing business. Ni Yang accepted the pork intestines with a smile, “Thank you, Auntie.”
The braised meat Boss said: “You’re welcome, if you enjoy it, remember to come back and support my business regularly.”
When she returned to the Noodle Restaurant, the four of them had finished their closing duties. Ni Yang distributed the Braised Pork Head Meat to them, “Aunties, this is the pork head meat I bought at the cooked food shop. Take it home and enjoy.”
Upon hearing this, all four of them refused.
Ni Yang treated them so well, it was their duty to help out. But if they accepted Ni Yang’s gift, the nature of their relationship would change.
Ni Yang said with a smile: “I’ve already bought it, if you don’t want it, I’ll have to throw it away!”
Only after she threatened to throw it away did the four of them reluctantly accept her gift. Such a good thing would be a pity to throw away.
One bag of pork head meat weighed as much as two jin! Two jin was equal to six yuan! They usually couldn’t afford to buy pork head meat to eat at home.
When Han Xiaoqin arrived home, her family hadn’t eaten yet.
“Mom, you’re back!” Goudan jumped up and greeted her.
“Why are you home so late today?” Goudan’s father came out from inside.
Han Xiaoqin explained with a smile: “Today is the last day of business for the Noodle Restaurant and the Milk Tea Shop before New Year’s Eve, so we all decided to work two extra hours.”
Goudan’s father nodded his understanding, “Yangyang has been so good to our family, it’s only right to work extra. Come in, wash your hands and we’ll eat.” “Mom, what’s in your hand?” Goudan asked curiously.
Han Xiaoqin replied mysteriously, “Guess?”
Goudan took a careful sniff and swallowed his saliva, “Mom, it’s not meat, is it?”
In these times, everyone didn’t have a lot of money, so the children were particularly fond of meat.
Although the New Year was just around the corner and there was some meat at home, that meat was saved for the guests.
They couldn’t eat it now.
It had been over a month since Goudan had last eaten meat.
Han Xiaoqin nodded, “It’s braised meat!”
Upon hearing this, Goudan was so happy that he practically jumped for joy, “Big brother, sister! We have meat to eat! We have braised meat to eat!” Goudan’s father was surprised, “Braised meat? Did you buy it? You work so hard, why waste your money on braised meat? The New Year is tomorrow, we can wait a bit longer to eat meat.” Braised meat was three yuan per jin, and Han Xiaoqin’s daily wages couldn’t even pay for one.
Han Xiaoqin shook her head with a smile, “Yangyang bought it, she gave one portion to each of us.”
“Yangyang bought it?” Goudan’s father said in surprise, “She’s so generous! Our village is really lucky to have her. Otherwise, this year’s New Year would have been difficult.”
This year the harvest was very poor due to droughts and floods. After paying their grain taxes, the food left at home was just enough to keep them from going hungry, let alone having spare money to buy anything else..
