The smile on Huang Liang's face grew bigger!
He had rarely seen Chaoge in the past few months, but he had not expected that among these one hundred people, their master still remembered him.
Huang Liang was so excited that he nodded repeatedly!
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! It's rare, it's rare that the young lady still remembers the young one!"
"You are a smart boy, how could I not remember? Work hard and try to get married next year and buy a small courtyard in the capital."
Huang Liang was slightly surprised. He never expected that such a good thing would happen to him!
"Really? Master, I will marry Xiao Cui!"
As he spoke, Huang Liang excitedly raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Cui in the crowd!
His action immediately caused everyone to laugh, and Chaoge also looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw a little girl with a round face and a rosy face, who was shyly pushed by the people around her and lowered her head.
"Oh, you have good vision, but I don't know if Xiao Cui is willing."
Having said that, Chaoge asked the shopkeeper to continue distributing money. The people whose names were called came to the front one after another. Leng Furong took out the silver bills, one for each person, and then continued distributing them!
"Ah, I've already received the New Year's bonus, but why am I still getting the Outstanding Employee Award?"
"Of course everyone has this. You just need to work hard in the future and hope that you will be the next one."
After the rewards for outstanding employees were distributed, the shopkeeper called up another fifty-seven people.
The more than one hundred people below were surprised again when they saw the people standing up, and the fifty-seven people were also confused. The rewards for outstanding employees had already been distributed, but they were still called up. Did they do something wrong and deserve to be singled out and reprimanded?
Who would have thought that as soon as Leng Furong opened her mouth, everyone in the audience looked at her with envy, and the fifty-seven people were so shocked that they couldn't believe it at all!
"Wow, you are the annual outstanding employees. The reward is twice as much as the monthly outstanding employee reward, ten taels of silver!
With these ten taels plus the previous New Year's red envelopes, each of you has thirty taels! I am so envious. Although I was not selected, fortunately Xiao Cui from our family was selected. Come on, Xiao Cui!"
Huang Liang learned that this was the year-end reward for outstanding employees. He looked at the money in their hands and felt extremely envious, but also a little disappointed. After all, he had worked very hard, but he didn't expect not to be selected.
But in the crowd, Huang Liang saw the girl he liked at a glance, and that little bit of loss disappeared completely.
After he shouted at her, Xiao Cui blushed again!
Chaoge looked at Huang Liang and shook his head with a smile.
Then, Leng Furong announced the remaining special rewards.
When Huang Liang's name was called, Huang Liang, who had comforted himself and was no longer lost, suddenly looked at Leng Furong in disbelief, then looked at Chaoge, then stretched out his hand and pointed at his nose, his eyes full of astonishment and surprise!
"Why, weren't you envious of them just now? Don't you want this special reward?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Miss, don't joke with me! I want it!"
Huang Liang hurried forward with a silly smile and bowed to Chaoge. His funny appearance made everyone laugh again.
When Huang Liang got the bonus, his mouth opened wide!
"Three, thirty taels! How come there are so many!"
"If you dislike it too much, then give it back to me?"
Leng Furong glared at Huang Liang who was acting like a funny guy and teased him deliberately!
When Huang Liang heard this, he hurriedly stuffed the banknotes into his pocket!
"No, no, no, don't joke with me, Chief Steward. How could I complain about having too much? I still want to marry Xiao Cui, and I still want to save money!"
It was only the New Year, and the least they got was 20 taels, while the most, like Huang Liang, got 50 taels. A third of the people got 30 taels, which made the group of shop assistants very happy.
Then Chaoge announced that there would be three days off, and this group of people were so happy that they jumped up and down on the spot!
"There is one more thing I want to tell you. I have already reserved 20 tables at Yuefeng Restaurant as a reward for everyone's hard work over the past few months. We will continue to work hard next year. I hope everyone will get rich with me."
After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a while, and then suddenly cheered!
Although Yuefeng Restaurant is not the only most upscale place in the capital, it is a place where you can eat seafood at any time and only officials and wealthy people can afford to go there.
Being at the bottom of society, they couldn't even dream of the food in that place.
It’s not because the food there is so delicious, but because they are happy that their master treats them so well.
It was as if at this moment they realized that even if they were sold as slaves, they were still treated as human beings.
Many people here used to be servants, but compared to today, although working in the store is very tiring, the money they earn is incomparable to before and now.
Money is the only sense of security in their lives. It not only helps them prevent disasters, but also helps those from poor families.
So no matter how tired they were, they never complained.
But their masters understand their hard work and respect their efforts.
"This, this is a bit too wasteful."
The shopkeeper standing by looked at everyone who was happy. He didn't want to spoil the fun, but he still felt sorry for Chaoge for wasting the money.
"Don't waste it. It's only once a year. We all work hard, so we deserve to have something delicious. I've already talked to Shopkeeper Qian and paid the money. We won't have to pay from the store. You can take everyone there later."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Master."
Chaoge returned home and called the five wet nurses to her side.
"I should have let you go back a long time ago, but I can't spare the time right now, and I'm worried about leaving the child with someone else.
If you go back now, you can still catch the New Year's Eve dinner. Your family in Fang is the farthest away, more than a hundred miles from the capital. I have already booked a carriage for you. The money has been paid. It will be responsible for sending you home safely. If you leave now, you will probably arrive at 10:00 p.m.
The five nurses had seen Chaoge being so busy these days that they thought they had forgotten about the holiday they had been given. But they were suddenly reminded of it again on the afternoon of New Year's Eve! They were immediately surprised and delighted!
"Miss, if we leave, you won't be able to take care of five little masters, and you don't have much experience in taking care of children."
Fang, who was outspoken, spoke without thinking, which scared Zeng next to her. She hurriedly tugged at her clothes and winked at her.
Seeing Zeng's reminder, Fang suddenly reacted and said apologetically, "Master, I'm sorry, I just..."
Without waiting for Fang to finish her words, Chaoge smiled and shook her head, "Fang is telling the truth, I have never taken care of children and have no experience, so I am indeed not a good mother.
But isn't there still the Hao family? The Hao family will stay, and there are also Zi Su and Zi Ping. There are so many people at home, so you can go back without worry."
