Nianyang's sudden show of goodwill left the saozi all flustered and overwhelmed.
Looking at the little mountain piled up on the table, this was New Year's goods they'd never bear to buy all year living out here on Cold Island.
Whenever they had money, everyone went to buy meat to eat—who'd be willing to waste it on these little snacks? But they also knew this was good stuff, it sold for a lot outside, not cheaper than meat at all.
Nianyang took out so much just to treat everyone; that was really downright extravagant.
The saozi might be drooling over it, but they didn't dare take any. How could they afford to eat the City Lord's daughter's things?
Seeing no one move, Nianyang shot a look at He Suzhi. He Suzhi immediately said,
"Go on, eat. This is Saozi Chu's good intention. New Year's is coming, just take it as catching some good luck."
The saozi thought it over, then plucked up their courage and stepped forward. Once one saozi dared to take some, the others loosened up too.
