Chapter 401: Received a Gift as Soon as I Got to Work
After breakfast, Shen Zhaonian and his son, as well as Shen Huazheng, all came to their respective offices in high spirits.
As soon as Shen Huazheng arrived at the Shanglin Office, a group of colleagues came up to greet her enthusiastically: "Morning, Mr. Shen."
Maybe because she had such a pleasant Spring Festival holiday, Shen Huazheng almost forgot that she was also called "Master Shen".
After all, in other occasions outside the officialdom, people more often call her "Princess Yinghua".
However, Shen Huazheng quickly responded: “Good morning, everyone.”
Xiangyang smiled a little embarrassedly, took out a bag and handed it to Shen Huazheng.
"Master Shen, these jujubes are grown by my grandparents. They are very sweet. They are not worth much, but I just want you to try them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Rong also spoke up: "Master Shen, I also brought you a gift. This is the rice cake that my family made. The way it's made in our hometown is a little different from the one here in the capital. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."
The glutinous rice used to make rice cakes is still the one distributed by Sinong Temple before the New Year.
Those glutinous rice should be the best in the whole Daliang, and Yin Rong himself couldn’t bear to eat more.
Before Shen Huazheng could answer, others also spoke up——
"Master Shen, I brought these cakes."
"Master Shen, I brought a few bottles of wine that I brewed myself..."
"Master Shen..."
The gifts that Shen Huazheng usually gave them were all food, and colleagues in the Shanglin Office privately believed that in addition to the relationship between them and Shen Huazheng as superiors and subordinates, they were also "friends of gourmet food."
So when giving her gifts, most people subconsciously choose to give her food.
And it must be food that can represent your feelings.
Even Lord Yu came to Shen Huazheng carrying a basket of oranges.
"Master Shen, this is what my family grows. Please try it."
When Lord Shen first arrived at Shanglin Office last year, he gave them a lot of delicious food.
Last year, the harvest of all kinds of crops was very good. Your Majesty was very pleased and gave them many gifts.
The reward is secondary. What is important is the face given by His Majesty.
With His Majesty's reward, Shanglin Office and even the entire Sinong Temple will be looked up to.
The officials in Shanglin Office were not stupid, and they naturally knew that all this was actually the credit of their own Lord Shen.
They just benefited from it.
It is reasonable and appropriate to give some gifts to thank Lord Shen for his care for them, even if it is just to express their gratitude.
Shen Huazheng: …
How come I received a gift just after I got to work?
Moreover, the number of gifts is quite large.
However, it is still very happy to receive gifts as soon as I get to work.
Fortunately, she also prepared some things, otherwise she would only have to accept gifts from her subordinates.
These are all gifts from colleagues. No matter how valuable they are, the thought behind them is there.
Shen Huazheng smiled slightly: "Thank you, I also brought some gifts for you."
As she spoke, she glanced at Qingzhi Qingtang.
Qingzhi Qingtang understood instantly and went out to ask someone to bring in all the things that Chen Huazheng brought from home.
Everyone at the Shanglin Office looked at the bulging bags and began to guess in their hearts.
Lord Shen also brought them gifts? What could it be?
Those bags look bulging, could they be fruits? ?
Or snacks or something like that.
Or maybe it was the dried sweet potatoes that they had tried before?
Or did Lord Shen make something delicious again?
Everyone became excited at the thought of this possibility.
That’s great! I can taste the fresh food made by Lord Shen on my first day on duty.
Are there any people in the world happier than them?
Xiang Yang couldn't keep his thoughts to himself and couldn't help asking, "Master Shen, what is this?"
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "Here are some dried fruits I made. You can take them as snacks."
There are banana chips, taro chips, apple chips and dried hawthorn, etc.
I just processed the fruits and dried them without adding any sugar.
But it tastes fragrant and crispy, and you can still taste the original sweetness and fruity aroma of the fruit.
It is healthy, delicious, and filling, making it perfect as a snack.
