Because Luo Ruo hadn't eaten yet, Mo Tiankong was also preparing to eat supper. After entering the backyard, Luo Ruo went into the kitchen to get busy.
Mo Tiankong sat at the stone table as usual. Tomorrow was the last day of the event, and the day after tomorrow was the new year.
There was still no news from the System regarding employee benefits. It seemed that there was no way to do it this year.
In fact, if the System really wanted to do it, it would be a quick matter, but since there was still no news, it meant that the System wanted him to do it.
Luo Ruo was his only employee now, so he had to give her a new year's gift, but what should he give her?
He originally wanted to give her a Tiger-Headed Sea Eagle, but he already gave a lot of gifts to the Gao Family, so it wasn't appropriate to give her too little.
So he had to give her something. The Tiger-Headed Sea Eagle was one, but Luo Ruo didn't need chewing gum for now. She was still in the Martial General Realm, so she wouldn't need it for a while.
Then he would give her a box of Thousand Island Lake Beer. Although Luo Ruo didn't drink much, it was something that could increase Spirit Power, so she would probably use it.
Then Mo Tiankong picked out a few items that were suitable for Martial General Realm martial artists from the Wei Family's Heaven and Earth Treasures. Finally, he chose one.
Before, there were 43 Heaven and Earth Treasures. Five were given away, one was used to make tea, so there were 37 left. There were some more precious items like Ming Luo Grass, Fire Spirit Fruit, Water Flower, and Golden Body Fruit. These items had many uses, so they could be sold or used as lottery prizes.
There were only 30 or so low level Heaven and Earth Treasures left. After taking away some fruits, there were only a dozen or so herbs left. These would be used to make tea.
Two items were a bit too little. Although the value wasn't low, should he give some items from the store? There weren't many that were suitable for Luo Ruo.
The Tiger-Headed Sea Eagle and Zhu Luo Fruit were Heaven and Earth Treasures. Zhu Luo Fruit was also a Heaven and Earth Treasure. It could increase a Wuzong Realm martial artist's cultivation by one rank, and for Martial General Realm martial artists, it might increase a few ranks.
However, it was useless for Martial King Realm warriors. Mo Tiankong classified it as a Low Grade Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
So be it, good things come in pairs. Mo Tiankong found a storage bag and put it away. Spatial rings that required spiritual power to open were obviously not suitable.
Soon, Luo Ruo came out with the dishes, followed by Auspicious.
At the dining table.
"Luo Ruo, this is my New Year's gift." Mo Tiankong took out the storage bag.
"Store Manager Mo, I can't accept it. I've already received a gift," Luo Ruo said, feeling a little embarrassed. When Mo Tiankong came back, he gave her a Spiritual Origin Fruit, which was worth a lot. Now that he was giving her another gift, she felt embarrassed to accept it.
"The previous one was a gift for you. This is a New Year's gift. Take it." Mo Tiankong forced the gift into Luo Ruo's hands.
"Thank you, Store Manager." In the end, Luo Ruo accepted it.
Otherwise, Mo Tiankong would pull a long face again. A happy smile appeared on her face. Receiving a gift was always a happy thing.
Mo Tiankong was also helpless when he saw this. This was embarrassing. If this was on Earth, when the boss gave out year-end rewards, those people would take them so quickly.
The previous gift was indeed given to Luo Ruo for managing the store. As for the gift this time, it was a New Year's gift.
It was something like a New Year's red packet. Whether this tradition existed in Tianxuan Continent or not, Mo Tiankong still used the tradition on Earth. He hoped to get a good omen and finish the main mission early next year.
"Open it and take a look," Mo Tiankong said.
It was not a problem to open a New Year's red packet directly.
"Okay." Luo Ruo replied and opened the storage bag.
"Ah, Tiger-Headed Sea Eagle, and this is …" She took out two items, but she did not recognize the natural treasures.
Mo Tiankong came back to his senses. Luo Ruo was not an encyclopedia, so naturally she could not recognize all the items. The Spiritual Origin Fruit was used to break through realms, so it was normal for her to be familiar with it.
But the Vermillion Fruit was a low level spirit fruit, and it was not produced near Miracle City, so it was normal for her not to recognize it.
"This is the Vermillion Fruit, its effect is to raise one's cultivation level in Wuzong Realm. It can also be used by Martial General Realm cultivators," Mo Tiankong explained.
Many natural treasures had limitations. Mo Tiankong had specially picked out the Vermillion Fruit, which could be used by Martial General Realm cultivators. It was a relatively mild natural treasure.
So it could be used by more people, and of course it was more valuable.
Luo Ruo naturally knew the difference, so she thanked him again.
After the meal, Luo Ruo helped to clean up the table before leaving. Mo Tiankong also brought Auspicious upstairs.
.....
The next day.
It was also the last day of the welfare event. Tomorrow was the New Year. Mo Tiankong suddenly thought that the New Year's leave had not been decided yet.
Moreover, should he book it or not? An ordinary martial artist's family probably wouldn't have so many extravagant things. Most martial artists would just have a reunion dinner and go do whatever they wanted on the first day of the New Year.
There should be a lot of martial artists coming to the shop, so he still had to do business. Besides, he had nothing to do after the New Year's meal.
"Luo Ruo, do you usually have anything to do on New Year's?" Mo Tiankong decided to ask Luo Ruo, a native.
"On New Year's, we have a reunion dinner and then pay respects to our deceased relatives and ancestors." She tilted her head and thought about it. There was not much to do.
As for visiting relatives, Luo Ruo had been to Ali Sentry Town with this grandfather, so she did not know where her family was.
Sentry Town was her home, so she did not have any relatives.
With the four seasons and the year division, there would definitely be a New Year. However, for ordinary warriors, it was not a big deal. Even if they wanted to visit relatives, they would have to bring some gifts or something. After all, they were all spirit stones.
It was fine for normal martial artist families, but for big families, they would probably have to send a lot of gifts and visit relatives.
Paying respects to their deceased relatives and ancestors was a custom. It was common practice everywhere, so this was also normal.
Mo Tiankong understood a little. Then, he would rest for two days. One day on New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year should be enough. He would open for business on the second day of the New Year.
"Then we'll rest on the first day of the New Year. How about business on the second day of the New Year?" Mo Tiankong asked.
"Ah, you're the store manager. You can make the decision," Luo Ruo said hurriedly.
"Okay, then it's settled." Mo Tiankong thought about it and decided that there were no problems.
Today was also the last day of business before the New Year. There were still many martial artists in the store. It was also the last day of the welfare activities.
After two days of advertising, martial artists who knew about it would still come to buy. Of course, most of them were martial artists from nearby cities and empires.
The news couldn't reach a place that was a little further away, and it couldn't reach here either.
Some martial artists in the store had finished buying and were lining up to pay. Mo Tiankong and Luo Ruo did not chat.
At noon, there were not many martial artists in the store.
The shops across the street had already hung up red lanterns. Mo Tiankong wondered if he should hang some in front of the store to add some atmosphere.
With that thought, Mo Tiankong left the store and went to buy a pair of red lanterns.
The lanterns were carved out of a kind of wood called pear wood. It was produced in the Antelope Mountain Range. It was not expensive. He only spent a few silver coins to buy a pair.
There was a bottleneck in the middle that was suitable for embedding ores. There was a hanging pendant outside the lanterns that could be hung directly on the pillar at the door.
Of course, the general store did not have this kind of thing. Mo Tiankong found the System to modify it and spent a few spirit stones.
Although he had been cheated, Mo Tiankong did not care about a few hundred spirit stones. After all, they were in front of the store. Image was more important.
Also, the System had installed the lanterns, so it was worth spending a few hundred spirit stones. If the store was open for a thousand years, it would be able to break even just by changing the energy supply for the lanterns.
The shop didn't need to be cleaned. After all, the shop was dust-free and wouldn't be dirty. Otherwise, if the swimming pool above the kitchen blocked the cooking oil and fumes, wouldn't the entire backyard be greasy?
There was no need to do anything else. The lanterns were also made to match the Miracle City.
In the evening, there were no martial artists in the store. It was the New Year, so this situation was normal. Mo Tiankong and Luo Ruo were sitting at the cashier's counter, bored.
There were many martial artists coming and going in the Miracle Square. Now that there was no limit, normal martial artists would buy a bit more. If the martial artists of other cities didn't come, the Miracle City martial artists could just buy whatever they wanted when they ran out.
That was why the situation was like this. The bored Mo Tiankong took out a billboard and began to write. That's right, it was a holiday notice.
When the time came, he would just put it at the door. Because the store would not be open for business for two days, it was necessary to inform the martial artists in advance.
Swish, swish, swish. Mo Tiankong took out the billboard used for the previous lottery event and started writing.
It would be closed for two days on the New Year and the first day of the New Year. It would be open again on the second day of the New Year.
When Mo Tiankong thought of it, he did not want to write it. Now that there were no martial artists entering the store, this was a little wrong. He did not think of this. However, he did not care about it. Anyway, if there were martial artists coming in the next two days, they would see it.
It was around eight o 'clock at night. During this time, only a few martial artists came to buy some items. No martial artists entered the store.
The reward mission should be completed after the store closed. What was the New Year's Big Gift Package? Mo Tiankong was looking forward to it.
It was said that the Big Gift Package would definitely not only have one item. Otherwise, it would have directly specified the mission reward. There would definitely be many items. He did not know if there would be any high level items.
It would be good to have a divine weapon. En, it would be best if it was the Divine Armor. He was lacking in defense now. If he had the Divine Armor, he would be able to exchange injuries in the future. The key was that he was fine.
