161 Chapter 161 New Year’s Gift (4)

“Of course. One of them represents Hongyun Restaurant, and the other is General Zhou’s personal gift.” Manager Liu said with a smile.

After that, he had people carry all the gifts into the backyard and said, “Oh right, General Zhou requested that I ask you for more hotpot ingredients. There wasn’t enough on his side, and they almost fought.”

“It’s a little late today. How about tomorrow? I’ll send it to you tomorrow morning.”

“That’s fine. Oh, right, this is the list of gifts. Keep it well.” Manager Liu said as he gave her the list of gifts and left with his men.

Zhou Ying looked at the gift list and found it mainly seafood. They were mostly of the more precious big yellow croaker and seabass.

There were also eight batches of silk, brocade, and other high-quality silks. Other than cloth, there were four ornaments, four small and four big vases, and some more jewelry. What puzzled her was that there were also a pair of daggers at the end.





What was the meaning of this? Did he put these there to remind them that there was danger?



After thinking it through, she went forward to take a look. The seafood was still frozen because of the cold weather, and she just glanced at the rest quickly. Finally, she found the box where the dagger was kept.

After opening it, she saw two daggers covered with a leather case. She casually picked up one dagger and pulled it out. Suddenly, a cold silver light flashed, almost blinding her eyes.

After getting used to it, she looked at it carefully. The appearance was ordinary, but it was not difficult to guess that this pair of daggers was precious based on the cold glint that flashed. They were probably the most expensive of all the gifts General Zhou had sent over.

She kept some seafood and put it in the warehouse for the restaurant’s staff to eat for the new year, while the rest were all kept in her room.

When Qian Zhuang came over, they loaded all the valuable things, as well as the gifts prepared for the villagers, onto the cart and brought them home.

After returning home, Zhou Ying put all the valuable things, including all kinds of materials, into her interspace.

She then began to prepare gifts for the elders in the village. They preferred dried fruits, snacks, and meat. For the meat, she prepared two pounds of beef, mutton, and fish for each family.

What was left were the patriarch and the village chief. She added silk clothes and an extra big yellow croaker for them.

In the end, she prepared two batches of ordinary satin for the Gu family. She threw in a set of dark gray satin with flowers and another batch of the oldest dark green satin. Of course, these were worn mainly by men.

After hesitating, she threw in a huge piece of pig’s hind.

Gu Chengrui laughed when he saw this. “Are you trying to avoid giving anything to Mrs. Liu and the others?”

“If they don’t mind, they can wear it too, right? Maybe they can wear it in a few years.” Zhou Ying said it in a weird tone.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that she had given some expensive cloths to the patriarch and the village chief, she wouldn’t have given the Gu family anything.

Since she had to give some, it wasn’t appropriate to purposely not provide anything to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao entirely, so she gave what she saw fit.

“You’re so ‘polite’. Are you coming with me or do I go by myself? ”

“You can send these to the four elders of the clan by yourself. I’ll go with you to the village chief’s place, the patriarch’s place, and our old house.”

“Alright, I’ll go by myself first, then. We’ll go to the three houses after dinner, so you go on ahead to start cooking.” Gu Chengrui suggested and went out with the gifts.

Zhou Ying turned around and went to start cooking.

After dinner, the couple put their stuff in the interspace and went out. The first place they went to was the village chief’s house. When they arrived, the whole family was still having dinner, so they politely said a few words and put down the gifts before heading their way.

Next, they went to the patriarch’s house. The family had already finished their meal, and only the patriarch and Mrs. Wang were chatting in the living room. After the couple entered, Gu Chengrui immediately went up to them and greeted, “Uncle, I am here to wish you a Happy New Year in advance.”
