The female boss continued looking at them with a deadpan expression as she said with a somewhat mechanical voice, "It's on the house. Take it!"
"Ah?" The stunned Ma Guifen and the shocked Red Boy exclaimed in unison.
Only Fangzheng nodded slightly. Back when he exchanged looks with the female boss, he discovered that there was no contempt, displeasure, or anger in her eyes. Instead, there was a sense of anxiety, and a kindness which Fangzheng found familiar. Therefore he had probed her by answering the question. He never expected her to really get the items and give them for free.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Thank you, Patron."
The female boss shook her head. "There's a heater inside. You can warm up over there."
With that said, she went in and pulled out a backup heater, plugged it in and placed it by the side of three plastic stools.
