Everything was done according to the pre-arranged plan.
She couldn't suppress her smile either: "Okay!"
The staff of Jin Yu Lou were also in the lobby. Yao Niang stood up, looked around, and said loudly, "Everyone has worked hard! The success of Jin Yu Lou's reopening is inseparable from your hard work. In the future, we need everyone to continue to work hard so that Jin Yu Lou's business can go even further!"
Everyone readily agreed, but then Yao Niang continued, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I've also prepared mooncakes for you."
Bitao and her two companions distributed the mooncakes wrapped in oiled paper and small purses to the shop assistants one by one. The first person to receive one exclaimed in surprise, "There's even silver!"
Yao Niang smiled at him: "Of course! You've worked hard, and Jin Yu Lou can't do without you. When we come out to work, aren't you and I all doing it for the money?"

Manager Su was flattered and overwhelmed: "Thank you so much, sir!"
He rubbed his hands together and laughed, "It's different from what I expected!"
Bizhu smiled and said, "This was specially instructed by our mistress to be packed in the same box as the one sent to the princess's residence."
Actually, all the mooncakes are the same; the only difference between them and the other staff is the food box.
Shopkeeper Su felt a sense of comfort and satisfaction because of this difference, and thanked him repeatedly.
Yao Niang smiled kindly: "Go back quickly. You've been busy for two days, you should go back and rest."
She herself, accompanied by three maids, boarded the Zhaocai sedan chair and headed towards the Gu residence.
