Tian An and Gu Jinyan joked for a while, then he examined Mrs. Gu, gave her some advice, and then said goodbye.
Mrs. Gu knew that Tian An was busy, so she didn't keep her. Gu Jinyan personally saw her out before going back.
Not long after Tian An left, County Magistrate Gu came back happily holding the general flag.
Mrs. Gu saw it and said, "Master, when did you buy this pot of chrysanthemums? It looks much better than the one you bought before!"
County Magistrate Gu walked over to his wife, put the flowers down, and gently massaged her shoulders: "This is not something I bought. This was just sent by Zhao Yiming."
Mrs. Gu took a breath and said, "These flowers are not cheap!"
County Magistrate Gu nodded: "It's hard to find such good quality on the market."
"That girl An An is really willing to give up."
County Magistrate Gu shook his head and said, "More than that! Zhao Yiming just paid back the six hundred taels they borrowed."
"What did their family do to become rich?" Mrs. Gu asked in surprise.
Gu Jinyan heard this as soon as she entered the door and asked curiously, "Mom, whose family got rich?"
Mrs. Gu then relayed to her daughter what her master had just said.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jinyan said after hearing this, "That's nothing! As far as I know, An An's family has sold more than this amount of watermelons. I also heard that Zhao Yiming hunted a tiger before! This doesn't even include the crops grown in her fields and the profits from the shop."
Mrs. Gu also thought of the fact that her master had planted a lot of land for Tian An to grow crops. She heard that the crops were quite good and that her land was the best in the surrounding area. She also had watermelons, grapes and other crops.
Her daughter often raved about how successful Tian An's shop was. And the mooncakes this time...
Mrs. Gu was shocked and looked at the two of them: "This girl is a little rich woman!"
After leaving Gu's house, Zhao Yiming handed Tian An an IOU.
Tian An took the IOU, tore it into pieces in front of the two of them, and put it in his bag.
"When we get back, throw it in the kitchen and burn it, and the IOU will be completely gone."
The two smiled at each other, both feeling the burden on their shoulders lightened a lot.
I had to wait until after school to give the teachers holiday gifts, so I went to the pork stall first.
When the stall owners saw Tian An, they all greeted him with smiles.
Old Li: "Miss An An, I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you have time to come here today?"
Uncle Liu: “Are you going to come over and pull the pork yourself today?”
Old Man Wang: "Are you buying meat for the festival?"
Zhu Dagang weighed a piece of meat for the customer and turned around to say, "Today's pork belly is good, would you like some?"
Deng Xue stopped the car, and Tian An got out and said, "I came here today specifically to give you some holiday gifts."
As he spoke, he began to take gifts out of the ox cart for several people.
Old Li held the mooncake and said, "Wow! Isn't this the snowy mooncake that's been all the rage lately? You can't even get one anywhere else, so we're in for a treat."
He looked at the watermelon Deng Xue brought over and said, "This watermelon is a rare thing!"
Tian An carried the corn to his stall and said, "And this corn, you can cook it directly or stir-fry it with some minced meat for a more delicious taste."
Uncle Liu also took the mooncake gift box that Deng Xue brought and said, "This gift from Miss An An is really generous. I feel so embarrassed!"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? We are partners after all. It's only natural to give each other gifts during the holidays!" Tian An put down the watermelon for Uncle Liu and said.
Old Man Wang grabbed a corn and said, "This corn is really big, with big, plump kernels. It looks delicious."
Deng Xue smiled and continued, "Everything our girls grow is good. They look good and taste even better."
Zhu Da also picked up a corn and said, "It is indeed big. There are people in our village who grow corn, but compared to this one, the one he grows is like the difference between a grandson and an ancestor."
Old Li also opened his portion of corn and said, "I must taste this corn ancestor when I get home."
Deng Xue had a mysterious trust in Tian An, and she raised her chin and promised, "I will definitely not let you down."
After the four of them had presented their gifts, Tian An said, "Then everyone, please go about your business. We won't delay your business."
"Ah! What's the delay?"
"Go slowly on your way."
"Walk slowly!"
After delivering the gifts at the pork stall, I had to go back to the shop and wait for Xiaokang to get home from school before taking him to give gifts to the teacher.
In the shop, the kitchen was bustling with activity after two people were assigned to work. After grabbing a bite to eat, Tian Anxi rolled up his sleeves and took Deng Xue with him to help.
When Xiaokang came back, Zhao Yiming saw that Tian An was still busy so he didn't call her. He took Xiaokang to deliver the holiday gift to the teacher.
Tian An had just finished her work in the kitchen and sat down to take a break when Liu Hui came to find her.
"Miss, Zhu Da from the pork stall is here to deliver some meat. He brought some extra meat and said it's a Mid-Autumn Festival gift. Please go and see what to do with it."
Tian An drank some cold tea and followed Liu Hui to look at the meat.
Liu Hui pointed to four pieces of pork ribs, each weighing nearly ten pounds, and said, "Zhu Da said these four pieces of meat are a little gift from each family, so please don't be disgusted. Do you think you can take them all home?"
"Leave one piece for you to eat, and take the rest back!"
Tian An thought that he would not be able to come to the store before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he made some arrangements for the holiday period.
"You can stay open for two more days, then close it on the afternoon of the 14th and come back to celebrate the festival! But you have to arrange for someone to guard the store."
Liu Hui nodded in agreement.
Just then, she saw Mrs. Du coming in from outside, and Tian An called her: "Second Aunt, go get your wages from Manager Liu!"
When Mrs. Du heard that she was to be paid, she panicked: "An An, but Second Aunt can correct whatever she did wrong."
