Chapter 939: To Build a Workshop (6)
Lu Zhuangzhuang went to summon everyone.
"Alright, hurry and fetch a jug of wine, then go kill a chicken. We’ll have a good meal at noon today..."
The lunch was very rich. Lu Gao even invited the man who had led the way earlier—also a Lu, called Lu Laowu because of his name’s order in the family. Although they weren’t relatives on this side, Laowu’s wife was cousins with the Ya Family, so they were somewhat related. Plus, living in adjacent houses meant the two families got along quite well.
"Xinxin, honestly, even if you hadn’t come, I would have wanted to find you tomorrow. We don’t have much here, but someone brought in some seafood. I know you like it, so now I don’t have to make the trip..."
"Uncle Lu, you’re too kind..."
"What’s this ’kind’ talk? If it weren’t for you, would we be able to have meat and wine for the New Year?" Lu Gao waved his hand, "Oh right, there’s something I need to tell you. A man’s come to me twice, offering a high price to buy the dried shrimp I have. I’ve already promised them to you; I couldn’t be so dishonest, right? But, a few of the fishing families I used to trade with suddenly backed out. I couldn’t help it..."

Lu Gao nodded, "I understand. It’s just that I feel...ah, never mind, it’s their own choice.
