Chapter 166 A Sincere Thank You Gift

Chapter 166 A Sincere Thank You Gift

The place where the Ning family invited their guests for dinner was the famous Jingjude in Beijing, which is also a veritable century-old brand.

The roast duck here is famous throughout the country and has been selected for state banquets many times.

As soon as Shen Anan and Shen Yuanjun walked to the restaurant, they saw Ning Zhensheng and Fu Caiying who had been waiting at the door for who knows how long.

As soon as Fu Caiying saw the Shen Anan brothers and sisters, she came over and said, "Come in and sit down, the private room has been booked."

Shen Anan was a little surprised. You know, she and Shen Yuanjun had arrived twenty minutes early, but she didn't expect that Fu Caiying and his wife were already waiting.

After all, they are both younger generations, so this meal was really full of sincerity.

When they sat at the table and saw the menu, Shen Anan was even more shocked.

She could guess that Jingjude would definitely not be cheap, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.

A roast duck costs 12 yuan, other vegetarian dishes are about 1 yuan, and meat dishes are between 2 and 4 yuan. The whole meal costs them 20 yuan, conservatively estimated.

This is equivalent to half a month's salary for an ordinary worker!

Seeing that Shen Anan was embarrassed to order food, Fu Caiying simply asked about their dietary restrictions and helped order a few dishes.

Even though Shen Anan and Shen Yuanjun kept trying to stop them, there was still a table in front of them.

The most eye-catching one is the roast duck, especially the scene of the chef slicing the duck with a knife, which adds a sense of ritual to the food.

"An'an, Xiao Shen, you guys try it quickly, this is our Jingshi specialty." Fu Caiying greeted them warmly and rolled one up and handed it to Shen An'an.

After taking a bite, Shen Anan's eyes widened.

In her previous life, she had eaten Jingjude roast duck many times, but none of them was as amazing as this one.

The duck skin is crispy, the duck meat is delicate and rich in fat, and it is served with shredded green onions and cucumbers. It is fatty but not greasy, and it leaves a delicious taste on your lips and teeth.

"This is so delicious!" Shen Yuanjun couldn't help but praise.

When he saw the price just now, he was so scared that he almost jumped up, but after taking a bite, he wanted to eat it again.

But he couldn't spend his salary carelessly, he had to save it for living. If Qingqing came to Beijing, he could bring her here to try it...

"I'm glad you like it. You should eat more. Don't be polite!" Ning Zhensheng poured a glass of white wine for Shen Yuanjun with a smile.

"Hey, Uncle Ning, I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself." Seeing this, Shen Yuanjun quickly put down his chopsticks and took it with both hands.

Ning Zhensheng raised his glass, "An An, Xiao Shen, this is a toast to you."

"You are our Ning family's great benefactors. We will never forget this kindness."

"Uncle Ning, you are so polite." Seeing this, Shen Anan also raised the soda in his hand and clinked glasses with him.

"By the way, how did Mr. Ning's surgery go?"

"The operation was very successful. The old man woke up yesterday and even asked for meat today!" Ning Zhensheng said with a smile, all thanks to the ginseng.

The doctors said it was a miracle that the old man could recover so quickly.

"That's good." Shen Anan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had guessed it before, now that she heard that Mr. Ning was indeed alive, she felt relieved.

Now, not only can the special fertilizer be promoted in China ten years earlier, but Grandpa Ning can also continue his in-depth research.

Having such an agricultural master can really provide many people with enough food to eat.

"By the way, An An, this is the gift from Aunt Fu to thank you for saving your life. Do you like it?" Fu Caiying next to her smiled and took out a file bag from her bag and handed it to her.

"Also, we agreed at the time that the ginseng was considered to be purchased by us."

"There's still a thousand dollars in that file bag. We know that this ginseng is a life-saving medicine, so we're getting the better deal in the end."

“If you are not satisfied, you can increase the price.” Fu Caiying said as she stuffed the file bag into Shen Anan’s hands.

"Aunt Fu, there's no need for so much. It's a blessing for the entire Chinese people that Mr. Ning is alive and well." Shen Anan shook her head and refused.

One thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. She really didn't expect the Ning family to give so much.

Although she had never thought of giving it away for free at the beginning, it was just two ginseng roots after all, and the price was really high.

In fact, she didn't want the money, but if she gave away such a precious thing for free without asking for a penny, wouldn't that be telling others that she still has a lot of it?

She still understood the principle that it is a crime to possess a treasure.

"Open it first and see if you like the gift!" Fu Caiying didn't respond, but urged Shen Anan to open the file bag.

"This, this is really too valuable, I really can't accept it!" Shen Anan took out the things in the file bag, took a look, and quickly said seriously.

What was contained inside was actually the property certificate of a courtyard house in Beijing. Although the area shown on it was not large, it was more than 200 square meters.

This is really a great gift, especially for Shen Anan who knows the value of the Siheyuan in Beijing in the future.

"An An, just take it with peace of mind. This is what our old man meant."

"The three lives of our family cannot be replaced by this yard."

"Yes, girl, just accept it!" Ning Zhensheng also advised. Their ancestors were wealthy and they still have some family assets.

Shen Anan pondered for a moment and said, "Aunt Fu, then let me take this yard and you take back the 1,000 yuan, otherwise I will definitely not accept it."

"But..." Ning Zhensheng wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Fu Caiying.

"Let's do as An'an says. This yard was originally bought for my son's wedding, so it hasn't been renovated yet. When I have time, I'll find someone to clean it up." Fu Caiying looked at Shen An'an's determined expression and agreed.

She looked at Shen Anan with more and more liking, what a good girl.

An An didn't want to take the money. She would use the money to renovate the yard and buy some furniture.

"By the way, Xiao Shen, this is a thank-you gift for you, please keep it." Fu Caiying took out another box from her bag, opened it and handed it to Shen Yuanjun.

"Ah, I have one too..." Shen Yuanjun was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that he also had a gift.

"Of course, Brother Shen, this is specially picked by Caiying, see if you like it." It is said that men's friendship comes quickly. After a few drinks, Ning Zhensheng's way of addressing Shen Yuanjun changed from Little Shen to Brother Shen.

There was an exquisite scimitar in the box. The scabbard was made of silver and inlaid with red gems. It was exquisitely carved and had a unique shape.

"Xiao Shen, do you like this?"

"For the Manchus, giving a knife is the best token of love."

Fu Caiying's voice sounded with a smile, and there was some expectation in her eyes.

Shen Yuanjun blushed at everyone's teasing looks, but he still answered honestly, "I like it."

Ever since he received the knife from Qin Qing, he had been thinking about asking for a token of love in return, but he had never come up with a suitable one.

This scimitar looked valuable, and he didn't want it at first, but it was indeed the best choice.

"That's good as long as you like it. That's good as long as you like it." Ning Zhensheng also laughed.

"I don't think he likes it, but Sister Qin Qing likes it!"

“An An!”

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more, I won't say any more..."
