Chapter 140 Unwrapping Presents
When Hua Mian finished talking to the foreman about the wooden wheel and turned to look at Li'er, he had already disappeared. Hua Mian had to apologize to Ying'er who was standing aside.
"Good Ying'er, look at Miss Li'er, she has left beforehand..."
"Sister Hua Mian, you're lying. We agreed that Sister Li'er would be the one to try it later. Why did you come to me again?"
Ying'er jumped back as soon as Hua Mian turned around, "Sister Hua Mian... I remembered that there is still a basket of green beans that have not been washed. If you are busy, I will go back to the kitchen to work."
"Those are not urgent. There are more important things that I need your help with right now."
To Ying'er, Hua Mian's smiling face was like jumping down from the third floor with a rope.
"Good Ying'er, please help me a few more times. It doesn't need to be more, just two times is enough. After trying these two wooden wheels, I will never come back to you again."
Hua Mian took Ying'er's hand and begged, "Help me again this time, and I'll make delicious snacks for you when you're done."
Unable to resist Hua Mian's insistence, Ying'er finally agreed.
After the craftsmen delivered the new wooden wheel and reinstalled it, Ying'er walked up to the third floor again with Hua Mian's eager anticipation.
"It's okay, it's okay. You have to believe Sister Hua Mian." Standing on the wooden platform, Ying'er kept comforting herself, "Try two more times and I'll have some snacks."
The flower stand designed by Hua Mian was declared a success when Ying'er looked pale. The workers were sitting in the open space next to the building eating steamed buns from the kitchen. There were still a few days before this year's Lanqiu Festival.
All the shops up and down the flower street have racked their brains for this event. Gifts from regular customers are piled up in front of the shops. I don’t know whether it is intentional to show off or it is the local custom. Each shop chooses the best one from the gifts received.
The most expensive and gorgeous pieces are placed at the entrance, so that other guests will secretly compare them with their own gifts after seeing them.
Some of these gifts are given to shops, and some are given to flower girls personally. Except for a few that are distributed back to flower girls after the event, most of them will go into the pockets of various bosses.
So when Hua Mian, who knew these rules, took a large package of gifts from Sikong Yu, she couldn't help but raise a small question mark.
Sikong Yu counted the boxes containing various jewelry on the table without even raising his eyelids, "They are all for you."
"Isn't this against the rules? Besides, I'm not a flower girl, so I can't receive gifts from guests."
The big bag in her arms was quite heavy. Although Hua Mian didn't know what it was, but judging from the table where Sikong Yu was counting it, she could see that the bag she was holding contained probably those rouge and gouache hairpins.
"No, even if you ask for yours, no one will want it."
What could be like this? Or something that was given away for free and no one wanted? I hugged the package and thanked Sikong Yu, returned to my room, and plopped it on the floor, and all kinds of bottles and cans fell out.
The packaging doesn't look bad either. Just one of these jade bottles, wooden boxes and porcelain jars can be sold for a lot of money in the grocery store down the street.
Opening the gift list casually, I didn't expect Si Kong Yu to be so meticulous. From the description of the gift packaging to the name and identity of the gift giver, he recorded everything one by one. I just don't know if he didn't write it down on purpose, or the other party didn't tell him, or maybe Si Kong Yu didn't recognize the gift list.
All gifts recorded on are missing details.
Forget it, opening gifts without knowing anything is fun. Hua Mian took a futon from the side, sat cross-legged on it and began to open her gifts one by one.
