Because it was agreed in advance that Mr. Zhou would be the first to go there.
Worried that the old man would be getting anxious waiting, after lunch, Lan Guoer asked Xiao Gao and Baru to tie up three sheep and load them into Old Man Tang's tricycle. She pedaled the tricycle and headed to the compound.
It's not that she didn't want to send the meat over directly after slaughtering the chickens and sheep, but just like what Grandpa Su said when they were on the grassland, killing chickens and sheep and eating only the meat is not as delicious as doing it yourself!
Especially someone like Mr. Zhou, who stayed in the Northwest Military Region for more than ten years in the early years, and did a lot of work such as herding and slaughtering sheep!
Over the years in the city, although the food station occasionally supplied mutton, everyone had a limited number of meat coupons, and it was a rare opportunity to buy three or five pounds! The job of slaughtering the sheep was even more out of his reach!
Thinking back to yesterday when Mr. Zhou said he would lead the way for him, his eyes lit up with excitement, I’m afraid my hands are itching to wait!
So, when it comes to gift-giving, sometimes we really can’t simply look at the price or value of the gift itself.
In fact, what is more critical and important is the emotional satisfaction and spiritual comfort that this gift can bring to people, which is what we often call "emotional value."
Just like, luxury goods in later generations!
In terms of material and practicality, is it really worth the money?
The answer is self-evident!
But why are so many people flocking to it and willing to pay for it?
Isn’t it because their brand building is very good and meets the needs of certain groups to express themselves?
In her previous life, the Wen family controlled several luxury brands, and she would occasionally listen when her brothers discussed operating strategies at home.
I have to say, they really put a lot of thought into considering their consumers!
Even some luxury goods advertisements are not designed for consumers at all!
Instead, it is specially made for the general public who cannot afford it, and the status and financial resources of the product owner are presented to them again and again, so that they can remember the logo and value of the product firmly, so that when they see the consumers of the product enjoying these products, they will say "Wow" and look at them with envy, providing their consumers with a constant stream of emotional value.
Oh! I accidentally strayed off topic!
The reason why Lan Guoer sent a living one here was similar to this! She just wanted a feeling, a lively atmosphere!
Lan Guoer rode the tricycle all the way to the middle of Mr. Zhou's yard and shouted loudly:
"Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, the sheep are here."
Old Master Zhou knew that Lan Guoer was coming today, and he hasn't even left the house since morning till now.
I've been keeping an eye on what's happening outside!
Seeing Lan Guoer coming in on a tricycle, he happily came over with his hands behind his back.
"Here I come! Here I come! Wow, this sheep is really fat.
"Old lady, old lady! Come quickly and see what Guoer has brought us."
Old Man Zhou looked at the three sheep in the truck bed, aimed at the fattest and strongest one, and reached out to unload it.
"Stop, stop, stop! Grandpa Zhou, have you forgotten about your back injury?"
Lan Guoer hurriedly stopped him and said in feigned anger,
"Look at you, you've really forgotten the pain once the wound has healed! If you continue to take it lightly and hurt yourself, I won't give you any ointment. It would be a waste anyway."
"Oh my! Grandpa, you're so happy now, didn't you forget about my old waist?"
Mr. Zhou slapped his thigh and quickly admitted his mistake! He was like an old child, afraid that Lan Guoer would be unhappy and really not give him the plaster.
"Guo'er, don't be angry. Grandpa promises that he will never do this again!" He quickly called the guards.
"Xiao Liu! Xiao Liu! Come on, hurry up and unload this sheep for me!
Let me tell you, back in the Northwest, I helped the surrounding herdsmen deal with these guys a lot!
"I'm good at shearing sheep and skinning them, especially skinning sheep, which requires a lot of skills! I'll show you my skills in a moment and let you open your eyes!"
When Mr. Zhou recalled the past, he was full of energy, as if he had returned to his youth! He watched Xiao Liu unload the fattest one from the car, and nodded in satisfaction around it.
"Not bad! Not bad! This one weighs at least 120 to 130 kilograms, and can yield 60 to 70 kilograms of meat! Guo'er, stay home for dinner tonight! Your Grandma Zhou is also very good at making mutton soup!"
"Then I have to try it!" Lan Guoer did not spoil the fun and agreed readily with a smile.
At this time, Grandma Zhou heard the noise and came down from upstairs, looking surprised.
"Oh my! It's a whole, live sheep! Hey, Guo'er, did you really bring this back from the Northwest?"
Lan Guoer smiled and said, "I can't get it back by myself. I have to thank the comrades from the Security Department. But this mutton is really fresh. Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, the weather is hot and the meat won't keep well. Please give some to Uncle Zhou and the others."
I'll take these two on the cart to my grandfather and Grandpa Meng, and have them clean them up and distribute them to each family in the compound."
After saying that, she got on the bike, turned around and headed out.
Mr. Zhou was already impatiently preparing all the tools. Seeing that she was about to leave, he hurriedly reminded her, "Remember to come over tonight for some mutton soup!"
"I remember it!"
Lan Guoer smiled, waved, and rode out of the yard.
She sent one of them to her home first, and Lan Guoer took the last one to Mr. Meng.
Mrs. Huang, Mr. Meng's life assistant, was cleaning the yard.
When he saw her riding in on her bike, he quickly gave her a look, signaling her to keep her voice down.
Lan Guoer glanced into the room and didn't see Mr. Meng.
She frowned, jumped out of the car, and came up to Mrs. Huang and asked in a low voice,
"What? Where are Grandpa Meng and the others?"
Mrs. Huang put away the broom, pointed upstairs, lowered her voice,
"My blood pressure has risen again, and I just fell asleep! The nurse just checked it out and told me to rest well!"
Lan Guoer was surprised!
"What's going on? Why is my blood pressure so high?"
Thanks to her medicinal wine treatment, Mr. Meng's health has been very stable recently. How come his blood pressure suddenly became high?
