Chapter 774: Chapter 774 Ashamed of Receiving Chapter 774: Chapter 774 Ashamed of Receiving “Husband, do you really think my cooking is even better than that of the restaurant?” Su Yunjin’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Gu Ya, the very same Su Yunjin who had just been fussy about how picky Gu Ya was.
She was suddenly satisfied.
The words were indeed gratifying to hear for Gu Ya.
Gu Ya gazed at his little wife who was quite pleased with herself, his face full of tenderness. His deep voice was also very pleasant to listen to, “Yes, Yunjin’s cooking is the most delicious.”
His words were so sweet.
Su Yunjin felt that Gu Ya must have eaten honey today.
The words he spoke were unusually pleasing to hear.
On the first day of the opening, Su Yunjin’s business was good in the morning, but there were hardly any customers in the afternoon. Seeing that Su Yunjin and her husband could manage by themselves, Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai, who had come to help, suggested they would leave since they had neglected their own business for most of the day to assist Su Yunjin and Gu Ya.
Now that Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai were leaving, Su Yunjin couldn’t keep them any longer to help sell the fruit wine, especially since business wasn’t that busy.
Having her and Gu Ya to oversee the store was sufficient.
Su Yunjin went to the backyard and picked some tasty eggs and pork, and also took two jars of fruit wine, to give to Mrs. Chu for them to enjoy at home. They were family, after all, and Mrs. Chu did not stand on ceremony with Su Yunjin, joyfully accepting the gifts and departing.
After seeing off Mrs. Chu and her husband, Su Yunjin returned to the store. With no one coming in to buy wine, Gu Ya too found himself with spare time.
After being busy for so long, the couple finally had time to talk.
Su Yunjin, curious about the gifts from Young Master Chu, decided to see what he had sent. She lowered her head to find the two boxes,
and carried the boxes out to place them on the counter.
“Husband, these were sent by Young Master Chu. Shall we see what’s inside?” As she spoke, Su Yunjin opened the boxes. Inside the first box was a scroll painting.
Su Yunjin didn’t understand scroll paintings.
Still, she took out the scroll and examined it. Depicted was a Welcoming Pine, a symbol of flourishing business and endless customers. Gifting a Welcoming Pine painting at an opening was indeed a good omen. Not knowing much about art, Su Yunjin judged the painting as an outsider and thought it looked quite accurate.
As for the signature and verses on the other part of the painting, Su Yunjin did not understand them well, with no particular interest in paintings. After inspecting it, she casually set it aside and moved to inspect the contents of the other box.
While the little wife did not understand paintings, Gu Ya, who had attended school for a few years, had some knowledge of them. He immediately recognized that the painting was from a master. Such skill was rare. The Welcoming Pine might seem ordinary at first glance, but its actual value was far from cheap.
Gu Ya looked at the painting and inwardly marveled. His little wife was merely acquainted with Young Master Chu through business dealings, their friendship wasn’t deep.
Yet, for Young Master Chu to gift such a valuable painting as a first gesture made Gu Ya frown as Su Yunjin, unaware of the painting’s worth, continued her inspection.
Su Yunjin then went on to open the remaining box.
Inside, there was an antique, fashioned to signify wealth attraction. Su Yunjin might not understand paintings, but she grasped the meaning of antiques. The piece was half-carved from jade, and she couldn’t tell what material the other half was made of, but even just the jade portion was, she knew, not cheap.
If it had been something ordinary from Young Master Chu,
Su Yunjin would have accepted it without any pressure.
But for Young Master Chu to send such valuable items for her opening, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but feel unworthy of such generosity.
