Qian Sangui again had people pick some lotus leaves to deliver ten each to Master County Magistrate Sir Wong and County Magistrate Sir Hu, as well as five each to several officers who had been of great help to the Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop. He also gave five each to Steward Wong, Landlord Li, and other township Kun. He even told Steward Wong that if he planned to go to the provincial city, he should stop by their home first, as they had some to deliver to Song Mansion.
All these people were masters, and the leaves had to be delivered to each and every one of them.
Qian Sangui sent Huang Tie driving to the county town, and on the way, he was to pass a message to Shopkeeper Cui— if anyone else had the idea of picking lotus leaves, could Shopkeeper Cui please help ward them off.
