farmer's wife

Chapter 178 Gifts
Shi Yang pointed to the New Year ceremony beside him and said: "Master and Brother Alie have arranged the family affairs, and I have to work hard, Brother Ye An, to accompany me a few times and send these things to each family."

They have a horse-drawn carriage, so it's convenient to pack all the things and send them there.

Ye An squinted his eyes and patted Shi Yang's shoulder generously: "No problem. We are here to obey your orders!"

"That's no need, Brother Ye An, Shi Yang will be very grateful if you can take the trouble to pick us up."

"Thank you so much?" Ye An leaned in front of him with a cheeky face, bent his eyebrows, and said cautiously and attentively: "Well, if you really think about your hard work, brother Ye An, can I beg you something?"

Shi Yang looked blankly at Ye An's flattering smiling face, "What...what's the matter?" If there was anything he could help, he would definitely help.

Ye An scratched his head, and said hesitantly: "It's just... can you cook me a few meals? Hey, after eating your meals, I always want to taste a few more."

"And me, and me! Little brother Shi Yang, your cooking skills are great, much better than the cooks in our house. As long as you let me taste a few bites, you can tell me what work you have. Do!"

"I can do it too!"

On the way they came here, they heard Ye An talk about Shi Yang's little brother's good cooking skills several times.They didn't take it seriously at first, how could a young boy in a small place be so good at cooking?

But today it was just this bowl of noodles, and they felt that what they had tasted before was nothing!It's so delicious, no wonder Ye Anxin misses it.

Ye An frowned and looked at this group of companions scrambling to grab a meal, feeling a little ashamed, as if they hadn't eaten in 800 years.They are such a group of strong men, pointing to Shi Yang to cook and serve alone, wouldn't it be exhausting for him.

If the guards who came with him knew Ye An's slander, they would definitely give him a hard look.They are all people who want to imitate Shi Yang's culinary skills.

Ye An always felt that his group of people seemed to be taking advantage of Shi Yang, so he hurriedly added: "I won't let you do it for nothing, otherwise, we'll convert each meal according to the price of the big restaurant outside."

Shi Yang was surrounded by them, like a lamb caught in a pack of wolves.Listening to the frantic arguments in his ear, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"Stop, stop, stop. There's everything, don't make a fuss." Shi Yang looked at Ye An with a smile in his eyes, "It's just cooking a few meals, so how can you use Ye An to pay for it? It's easy. That's all. You are in Shizhou City for the past few days, so you can eat at home."

"Hahaha, good! I just like your straightforwardness, Ayang."

"Come, come, let's see which one to deliver first in the afternoon, and our brothers will carry it into the car for you first."

When it came to business, Shi Yang looked down at the letter in his hand with solemn eyebrows.

He took out two letters and put them on the table: "This afternoon, I will first send Mrs. Li from Liji Buzhuang and Mr. Wang from Wang's Mansion. Then I have to go and visit all the merchants in the shop and tell them that in the next few days I don’t need to send ingredients to my house for a month.”

"Okay, brother will drive you in the afternoon."

"Thank you, Brother Ye An."

Shi Yang pointed out the things, and Ye An took the people to move to two cars respectively.

Not long after lunch, Fang Fang came on time.

Seeing a few new faces in the yard, Fang Fang stood nervously and hesitantly in the middle of the yard with downcast eyes.

"Sister-in-law Fang, go and work in the small kitchen, Aman is also there."

In the past two months, Shi Yang has managed the shop in an orderly manner despite his young age.Fang Fang is honest and honest. She never underestimated the two brothers and sisters, Shi Yang and Shiman, and just focused on doing her own work well.

Even though Shi Yang is only sixteen, Fang Fang is much older than him.But in order to avoid suspicion, he usually would not approach Sister-in-law Fang to talk to her, and if he had something to say from a distance or ask his sister to convey it.

Shi Yang called Shi Man and said: "Later, Brother Ye An and I will go out to give a new year gift to Master Alie, and you will work with Sister-in-law Fang. Remember to tell Sister-in-law Fang that our NO.16 will I'm leaving for Yunjing, let her just come back to work for another day tomorrow, and I will pay her this month's wages tomorrow."

Shi Man blinked, and remembered his brother's words: "I see."

After his brother left, Shi Man relayed his words to Fang Fang.

Fang Fang was stunned for a moment.At first, she thought that such a good job could last until next year, so that she could make more thick cotton clothes for her children and mother-in-law for the winter.

Fang Fang clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, and asked dryly, "You guys went to Yunjing to celebrate the New Year, and you won't be back until March?"

"Yes, I will come back with Sister A Yan at that time."

In this way, when Ah Yan's family comes back, there will be enough staff and there is no need for her to work again.

"I see, thank you, Aman, for telling me."

"It's okay." Shi Man didn't notice Sister-in-law Fang's complicated mood, and continued to work on the work in hand happily.

Fang Fang told herself secretly while scrubbing the ingredients in her hands.Ah Yan's letting her come to work has already helped their family a lot, otherwise the family will be even more sad this winter.To be satisfied, this workbook has also been agreed that it will not last for a long time.

Still feeling a little regretful in her heart, Fang Fang adjusted her mood by herself, thinking that she would be able to get this half month's wages tomorrow, and she became happy again.

All in all, this year will be a prosperous and good year.

Shi Yang visited Li Ting and Wang Yingliang respectively with letters and annual gifts.

Wang Yingliang was not at home, and went out to meet friends again.When the concierge of the Wang Mansion found the servant next to Eldest Prince Wang, Shi Yang gave him the things, explaining that it was an annual gift from the Xiao family and that Xiao Lie had written a letter from the Eldest Prince.

The little servant solemnly accepted it, repeatedly expressing that he would hand it over to the eldest son when he came back.

Because the Xiao family only had Shi Yang Shiman at home now, Wang Yingliang asked the family to prepare a return gift for the Xiao family the next day after reading the letter when he came back at night, and a letter of reply was included with the things.

Shi Yang accepted it on his behalf, and then brought them to Yunjing for Xiao Lie.

In Li Ji Bu Zhuang, Li Ting is in the shop.Hearing that Fu Yan had traveled all the way from Yunjing to give her a New Year's gift, Li Ting beamed with joy.

The one for Li Ting is mainly Yunjing's special products, popular cloth, rouge and gouache, and some exquisite but not expensive jewelry.

After sending Shi Yang away, Li Ting couldn't wait to open a small package.She put the delicate hairpin on her hair, and gently shook it to signal to the maids, big and small, to look at it.

"It matches the color of my wife..." Everyone praised her one after another, and also praised Fu Yan's thoughtfulness and the friendship between the two of them.

Li Ting was overjoyed, and on the second day, she personally sent over the account dividends to be given to Fu Yan in the past two months, as well as an additional gift in return.
