Parents are busy farming

In a few days the girls had everyone's coats ready.

There are people from the Ye family, people from the caravan, shopkeepers and clerks from various shops, and of course everyone in Zhuangzi.

There is specialization in the art industry, and there is strength in numbers.

Let them do this by themselves. I don’t know how many days it will take to complete it.

Early in the morning on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ye Zifen asked Li Daniu to kill twenty sheep.

That morning, the shopkeepers of all the shops, the stewards of Zhuangzi and their families were notified that they would go to Fuke Lai for dinner at noon.

This was the last day of business for Fuke's year, so Zi Zifen asked Pang Chao to clear the place and only entertain his own people.

Because the people who go to inform everyone are the food delivery personnel, so after the people who are closer to each other have notified everyone, they will follow back and arrive first. Nature in the distance will have to wait for a while.

During this period, Zi Zifen asked Li Daniu to transport the clothes prepared by the girls and the slaughtered sheep to Fuke Lai.

The sheep were even asked to be broken up by the people in the kitchen so that everyone could take them away easily when they left.

Why let them decompose it? Because they are professionals, have good tools and experienced people.

Today's lobby was divided into two parts by Ye Zifen. On one side were men, mainly clerks from various families and people from the village. Naturally, there are also long-term workers from the Ye family. On the other side is the place for the girls. Today, the girls also followed Liu Menger and Luo Keren.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and those who knew each other even started chatting.

At noon, Fukelai's chef had prepared all the meals.

They used all their special skills and joked that the most important meals in a year are only a few meals, so how could they not perform well.

Wang Sheng was afraid that the dishes would get cold, so he looked ahead several times.

Ye Zifen told him: "Not everyone is here yet, please wait a moment before serving the food."

Zhao Youde's family, who was farthest away from Zhuangzi, finally arrived after noon.

The person who went to inform him was none other than Ye Zifen's uncle Yang Zhengde.

When they came in, they felt a little embarrassed when they saw so many people.

Ye Zifen came to the door in person to welcome them in, and arranged a table for them, asking acquaintances to take care of them.

After everyone was seated, she shouted towards the kitchen, "Everyone is here, let's start the meal!"

Waiters from various stores rushed to the kitchen to help serve the food. Some are even more thoughtful and serve food to the girls' tables first to gain favor.

They had all heard that a man named Li Daniu had taken a fancy to one of the girls, and that girl was now the shopkeeper of Yuanhang Clothing Store.

Ye Zifen saw all this, but didn't say anything. If these boys can take a fancy to the girls, it would be a blessing for the girls and the boys.

Rather than letting the girl go out and find someone to marry, it would be better to find someone among these people who know everything.

These guys all have their own discernment and know what they can and can't do, so Ye Zifen doesn't have to worry about their poor lives in the future.

Liu Meng'er also saw what Ye Zifen meant and did not stop the girls from chatting with the boys.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Ye Zifen came to the shopkeepers' table, looked at the people around him and smiled.

There is no one else at this table. Next to Ye Zifen on the right are Liu Meng'er and Luo Keren. On the left are Lu Zili, Pang Chao, Wang Sheng, and Li Song.

Further over there are, forward, Zhao Youde and Li Daniu.

It just so happened that Luo Keren and Li Daniu were next to each other at the end, and he wanted Lao Li to sit at this table, but Lao Li felt that he was a long-term employee of the Ye family, and it was a great blessing to come here to eat today, so naturally he didn't want to sit at this table. table.

He also knew in his heart that the people sitting at this table were the shopkeepers of Ye Zifen's various shops or the stewards of Zhuangzi.

He didn't think he could be on an equal footing with these people, so naturally he didn't want to get involved.

So Ye Zifen arranged for him to sit at the same table as Yang Zhengde. This table was also someone that Ye Zifen valued very much, but they had less power than the stewards.

Ye Zifen picked up the wine glass and said, "It has been a year. Although some shops have not been open for a long time, they have also created huge profits. Some people have followed me from the beginning. The wind blows, the rain blows, and they can't eat." Less suffering.”

Speaking of this, Ye Zifen even looked at Wang Sheng a few times.

Wang Sheng was the first person to follow Ye Zifen among all the people. At that time, he was the one who kept an eye on the mutton soup restaurant. Although he was not the shopkeeper, he did his best.

Later, he studied with Lu Zili and came to Fu Ke Lai, but he didn't become a big shopkeeper, so he still had no complaints.

Later, he helped Zizifen train the food delivery personnel and settle the accounts of the food delivery personnel.

It can be said that he holds many jobs and only gets one salary.

Ye Zifen has seen all this and wants to repay him well today.

Seeing Ye Zifen looking at him with tears in his eyes, Wang Sheng raised the wine glass in his hand.

It was his great honor that Miss Ye Wu could remember him. He never felt that it was bitter!

Zi Zifen continued: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we just take this opportunity to get together and have a meal here. I, Zi Zifen, would like to thank you all for your persistence."

After saying that, he raised the wine glass in his hand high, then raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.

The other people at Ye Zifen's table also raised their wine glasses and looked at the people they were leading, and then drank all the wine in their glasses.

Seeing their shopkeeper and Miss Ye Wu doing this, people at other tables also drank the wine in their glasses.

"It's Chinese New Year, and I've prepared some New Year gifts for everyone. A set of clothes for each person, five pounds of mutton, and five hundred coins. Don't dislike it, everyone!" Ye Zifen drank the second glass of wine after saying this.

The people below heard that there are benefits during the New Year, not only clothes and money. There was also meat, everyone was whispering to each other, the joy on their faces could not be concealed. Zi Zifen waved her hand, and Li Daniu and a few people carried over the clothes the girls had made. There were ten boxes in total.

Wang Sheng also gave some advice to some of the waiters, and the waiters brought up the mutton from Fuke's kitchen.

"Put all those things at the door, and when you leave, everyone will take their own portion. The clothes all have names on them, and whoever's name is called will get it."

In fact, these are not all benefits. Zi Zifen also told other shopkeepers that the store will use 20% of the store's income for that month to provide benefits to everyone.

In addition, Ye Zifen gave twenty taels of silver to each Zhuangzi to use for their New Year shopping and welfare.

Everyone was chattering, and until they were completely quiet, Ye Zifen raised the third glass of wine and said: "I hope everyone can continue to work hard next year and continue to work with this hard work."

After saying this, Ye Zifen drank all the wine in the glass.

Finally, she winked at each store manager and asked them to communicate with the people below her. That was the end of the wine she wanted to drink and what she wanted to say today.

Then the shopkeepers got up and went to their tables to talk to everyone.

Ye Zifenzi sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted the food on the table.

She was immersed in the joy as she watched the tables laughing and drinking from time to time.
