The two little children immediately started eating excitedly.
Zhou Ying and Gu Ziyi started to chat.
After a pot of tea, Gu Ziyi said, “Sister-in-law, to be honest, I’m here to ask for a favor.”
“You’re welcome. If there’s anything you need, just tell us. We’ll definitely help if we can.”
Of course, she meant she wouldn’t help if it were something too difficult, but she believed Gu Ziyi could understand what she meant.
Gu Ziyi understood and smiled. “My father’s 50th birthday is coming up soon. I don’t know what to give him in this trouble-filled year, so I want to ask you to help me make six longevity peach buns.”
“It’s the one that your restaurant sold before, the soft one everyone likes to eat.”
After she finished speaking, she handed her a bag. In it was a bag of about three pounds of white noodles and ten eggs.
“When is eldest uncle’s 50th birthday?” Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment.
“It’s on the 8th of July. There are only three days left.”
“Alright, I’ll remember this. Come and get it on the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. It’s too early to make it now. Also, six longevity peach buns don’t require this much flour,” Zhou Ying said, pointing to the bag of flour. “Half of these are enough.”
“The rest can be made into a cake.”
“Alright, I know what to do.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Gu Ziyi brought her two daughters home.
Zhou Ying added another pot of hot water to her tea and sat in the courtyard.
After sending off the last patient, Gu Chengrui sat down and asked, “What was big sister here for this time?”
“She said it’s the patriarch’s birthday in three days, and she came to ask me to help make a few buns.” Zhou Ying pointed to the bag at the side and poured him a glass of water. “You’ve been busy the whole morning. Have a glass of water.”
“Alright.” Gu Chengrui nodded and took a sip. “By the way, I hoard that the meeting today is to drive out all the other relatives of the villagers from the village, right?”
“Something like that, but they said that since they’ve come from afar, they can stay in the warehouse at the dock. That way, those people don’t have to worry about the lack of water.”
“No wonder it’s so lively outside,”
“They all want to take advantage of us.”
“To put it bluntly, they’re poor. There aren’t many villages that have a harvest this year. Most people rely on eating grass to survive. I mean, look at how many people went up the mountains after the wolf pack was exterminated,” Gu Chengrui added.
“Do you think we should take out some rations for them?” Zhou Ying asked in a low voice.
Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. “It’s not a good idea. Because of the warehouse, the food in the interspace is too fresh, so it’s not easy to hide its origins.”
“Let’s just wait for a while. We’ll do something when we harvest those sweet potatoes.”
“Okay, I’ve also seen people fight to the death for a little bit of food, while we’re guarding a treasure vault and watching helplessly. It just doesn’t feel good.”
“If I didn’t know better, I would have thought I had been a great philanthropist for ten lifetimes. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met you.” Just as Gu Chengrui finished speaking, a dark and thin girl around 14 or 15 years old suddenly rushed in and said, “Doctor Gu, Manager Zhou, please…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Er Zhuang suddenly pounced on her.
“Er Zhuang!” Zhou Ying called out.
However, Er Zhuang still pounced on her. However, he didn’t hurt her and quickly left.
Zhou Ying saw this and quickly went forward to help the girl up. “Girl, who are you? Do we know you?”
The lady was stunned for a moment. “I… I’m Zhang Qingqing, the eldest daughter of Zhang Dacheng.”
“Manager Zhou, please buy me and give me a way out. Otherwise, I’ll be sold to
a retard….”
