Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Xiao Cao blinked and suggested, "How about this? Our family has prepared the New Year gifts for each family. Why don't we go to County Magistrate Tang's house to deliver the gifts tomorrow and find out about the progress of this matter. Grandma, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay, let's settle it like this! This way, the girl can see how anxious we are. After all, we still value her daughter." Old Mrs. Yang said with a smile on her face.

"But we have to hurry, otherwise such a good girl will be chosen by another family." Li said.

"No, I'll go check the prepared New Year gifts carefully later to see if there's anything important missing. Don't make a fool of yourself and embarrass yourself." Li agreed, turned around and walked towards the place where the New Year gifts were placed.

In the prosperous and bustling capital, the New Year gifts that need to be prepared are naturally very different from those in the countryside. However, the Yang family is just an ordinary family after all, and the things they can give are only so much.

After much thought, I finally decided to choose the products produced by my own hard work.

Look, there are the homemade sausages with attractive colors and fragrant aroma; the salted eggs and preserved eggs specially sent by Goudan’s family, each one is round and plump; and there is also the wine that Xiaocaoer has treasured.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also some other miscellaneous items, so it is basically complete.

Come to think of it, a few days ago, Xiaocao was strolling in the shopping mall in her own consciousness world and she fell in love with a lot of seafood.

However, she had some concerns in her heart, worried that these seafood would be too eye-catching, so she asked Qi Xingyun for advice.

As a result, Qi Xingyun happened to be there that day. When Xiaocaoer happily took out treasures such as abalone, fish maw and bird's nest to show him, he rejected them without hesitation.

Among these things, Qi Xingyun only knew about bird's nests, which were very valuable. Given the current financial situation of the Yang family, it was really difficult to afford such a high cost to purchase bird's nests as gifts. Therefore, after careful consideration, everyone rejected all the original plans to use seafood as gifts.

Qi Xingyun suggested: You may refer to the gift lists of previous years to make preparations.

Although this proposal was adopted to veto the plan of giving it away, Qi Xingyun did not object to keeping it for family consumption.

Therefore, Xiao Cao'er had already carefully prepared each kind of seafood and reserved some portions specially, thinking of making more and sending a bowl to each family for them to taste.

Not only that, she also copied down various seafood cooking recipes one by one, looking forward to showing off her skills on New Year's Eve.

It should be pointed out that the preliminary preparation of top-quality seafood ingredients such as abalone and fish maw is particularly tedious and complicated.

Among them, cooking abalone requires the most skills and experience. If it is not handled properly, this high-quality ingredient may be wasted.

Although there is no such thing as food waste in the Yang family, even if the food is not delicious, they will finish it as long as it is cooked, adhering to Xiaocaoer's clean plate campaign in her previous life.

Because of this, the cautious Xiao Caoer specially selected some abalones of inferior but still superior quality for experimental cooking practice. He started preparing today. According to the normal progress, he will be able to taste this unique delicacy in the next two days.

It is worth mentioning that bird's nests, a precious commodity, are sold even in ordinary pharmacies. However, the shocking price is too high, and it is definitely not a luxury item that ordinary people can easily afford.

Despite this, the thoughtful Xiao Cao'er still carefully selected two boxes of top-quality bird's nests and put them into a gift box specially prepared for the New Year, and asked Qi Xingyun to send them to the palace and present them to the emperor.

Xiao Cao'er blinked her bright eyes and asked Qi Xingyun curiously, "Should we prepare a gift for the emperor as well?"

Qi Xingyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly and replied, "The emperor is my junior! According to seniority, he should call you the imperial aunt. This New Year gift should naturally be given to me by him, so you don't have to give it to him at all."

After hearing this, Xiao Cao'er couldn't help but look hesitant and said softly, "I'm afraid this is not a good idea, right?"

Seeing this, Qi Xingyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with that? Don't you think you are not older than him?"

Xiao Cao bit her lip, lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, and muttered softly: "But...but we haven't gotten married yet after all."

Qi Xingyun didn't care. He waved his hand and said decisively, "So what if they didn't get married? Just pretend you don't know him. Just listen to me, you won't go wrong."

"Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Xingyun." Xiao Caoer didn't insist and said, "Anyway, as long as you don't feel ashamed, I, as your future family member, will feel even less ashamed."
