Too expensive for them to afford, yet they felt that just sending fabric and live chickens was not impressive enough. They could only make do with cured meats to present a decent gift.
Gu Jinli squatted down, helping to sort festival gifts: "County Captain Jiang and his family like cured meats, sending them would be just right to their liking, they will certainly be delighted."
Ever since Gu Daya's family started to sell cured meats, they had sent some to the Shang and Jiang families several times. Each time Gu Jin'an came back, he mentioned how much Scholar Shang and County Captain Jiang enjoyed them.
The Shang Family's servant would go to the town to buy cured meats every other day. Nowadays, cured meats had become the most common dish for the Shang Family.
