Chapter 358 Listen to the corner
"I heard you. Thank you, Manager."
At this moment, the customers in the store had left one after another. There were only three shop assistants who were sorting new clothes, and Madam Shen who was sitting at the cash register counting the bills.
It was hard for them not to hear Lin Chuyi's words. After having been with the two store managers for such a long time, the employees were no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning. Seeing this, they immediately climbed up the ladder.
Madam Shen did not participate in it, but she also stopped using the abacus in her hand and looked at Lin Jinxiu with a smile, her eyes full of mischief, as if saying, "I want to see how you deal with it this time."
Lin Jinxiu felt a little embarrassed when Madam Shen looked at her. She didn't expect that the big talk she said casually was actually taken seriously by her second sister and spread out. Now that the words had been spoken, it would be difficult to change her words at this time.
Fortunately, she now has the capital to treat everyone. Treating everyone to ten sumptuous meals would at most make her feel bad, but it would not make her wallet shrink significantly.
Well, it's rare for my second sister to come back, so since she wants me to treat her, then I'll treat her. Besides, we haven't had a dinner party for a while, so I'll just treat this as a New Year's benefit for the store staff.
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Jinxiu's mind quickly, but it didn't take too long from the time these thoughts came up to the time she made the decision.
She smiled and nodded to everyone, "Okay, I'll treat you, you can choose the place, just order whatever you want!"
"Thank you, manager!" Several shop assistants answered in unison, their joy evident in words.
Lin Chuyi returned to the backyard with laughter and joy, and used the ingredients he had just brought to make a large portion of seafood stew, which he served with stewed rice.
Lin Chuyi's cooking skills are unquestionable. In addition, the ingredients she chooses are all high-quality ingredients produced in the space. The seafood pot cooked by her personally is simply a peerless delicacy. It is no exaggeration to say that its deliciousness is comparable to delicacies.
Lin Jinxiu and others sat around the dining table. Facing the delicious seafood pot in front of them, they couldn't help but have endless imaginations in their hearts.
They really couldn't imagine that such a delicious seafood stew was just barely okay in Lin Chuyi's mouth. Then, what kind of incomparable deliciousness would the seafood feast she carefully prepared be?
Although they were full of curiosity and anticipation, their hands' movements were not affected at all.
Some people were concentrating on peeling shrimp shells, some were enjoying the fish meat with relish, and others were peeling crabs with great interest, enjoying their deliciousness.
Not only that, they also imitated Lin Chuyi and poured the rich soup from the seafood pot over the rice, put them into their mouths together, and savored the satisfaction of every bite.
In this way, everyone enjoyed the delicious food like a whirlwind until all the food was gone and their stomachs were full.
In the afternoon, Lin Chuyi stayed in the store to help her sister Lin Jinxiu with the cashier work. In this way, Lin Jinxiu could concentrate on embroidery.
Time passed quickly. As it was getting dark, Lin Chuyi said hello to her sister and went home early to prepare the sumptuous seafood dinner.
When Lin Chuyi stepped into the house, the servant recognized her at a glance and quickly bent down to greet her. Lin Chuyi smiled and waved her hand, indicating that the other party did not need to be so polite, then raised her foot, stepped over the threshold, and walked directly to the back kitchen.
At this moment, the two cooks were gathered together with the maids in the yard, looking curiously at the seafood brought by Lu Lutong.
All I could hear were the maids shouting excitedly, "Wow, look! This thing actually has eight legs. How can it have so many legs? And it walks sideways!"
"Oh, these shells are so beautiful!" exclaimed another little maid.
The maids were chattering away, and the cooks were also discussing, but their focus was different from that of the maids.
"Our girl is really talented. She can get so many seafood at this time. Look at how energetic they are. They will definitely be fresh and tender when cooked. And those crabs probably have roe. They are all good stuff!" The fat cook said with admiration as she carefully looked at the fresh seafood in front of her.
The tall cook next to him looked surprised when she heard this and couldn't help asking, "Can you cook these seafood?"
When the fat cook heard this, she immediately raised her head, her face filled with pride and smugness, and replied triumphantly: "Hey, don't look down on me! I used to work for an official family! My former master loved seafood very much, and many people would often send a lot of seafood to his house to please him."
"I have helped to prepare crabs in the kitchen. In fact, it is very simple to cook crabs. All you need to do is wash the crabs, put a few slices of ginger on them, and then steam them in a pot. You don't even need to add salt!"
The tall cook was stunned. She had never come into contact with crabs before and found it hard to imagine how delicious such food without oil or salt could be.
She shook her head to express her incomprehension and muttered, "How can it be delicious? It would have no taste at all if it's just steamed..." Obviously, she was full of doubts and worries about this new cooking method.
The fat cook shrugged. "I haven't eaten it either. It seems that the master likes it very much. There is always nothing left. The taste should be good. However, even my master, who is an official, can only eat crabs a few times a year. It is said that this thing is hard to get and very precious..."
"Ahem." Seeing that several people were chattering non-stop, Lin Chuyi had to cough twice to attract their attention.
After hearing the voice, several people turned around and saw the second young lady of the mansion standing behind them. Everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Chuyi.
Among the group of people, the most panicked one was the fat cook. She was even frightened by Lin Chuyi to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat, and she wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy immediately.
She felt extremely regretful because, in order to show off her knowledge in front of Chef Gao, she had mentioned many things about her previous master's family to Chef Gao.
Who would have thought that this time, the new owner Lin Chuyi heard it! At this moment, the fat cook was most worried that the girl would hear their conversation and suspect that she had two hearts, and thus sell her out.
Oh my god, she was just bragging. In her previous master's place, she was just a small kitchen helper and was not treated well. After coming here, she really understood what a good life was.
The young ladies and young masters of the host family are all very kind, very friendly to everyone, and never deliberately embarrass others. Every day, you only need to stay in the kitchen to prepare three meals a day and some snacks. After completing these tasks, the day's tasks are over.
Not only is there less work, but the monthly salary is twice as much as before. She had never dared to imagine such a life before.
She didn't have any special hobbies, she just liked to brag about herself. But she never expected that she would fall flat in front of the second girl today.
Among the several masters in this family, the one she feared the most was Lin Chuyi, the second oldest girl in the family.
It wasn't that Lin Chuyi had done anything bad to her, but because this group of people were all selected by Lin Chuyi himself, she naturally felt in awe of the person who controlled their fate.
At this moment, she was a little overwhelmed, and could only pray silently that the girl would be magnanimous and not hold it against her. In the future, she would definitely control her mouth and stop talking nonsense.
"Everyone, get up. Since you have nothing to do, come into the kitchen and help me. We're having a seafood feast tonight. Haven't you ever tasted seafood? Today I'll let you have a taste of it."
After saying that, Lin Chuyi went straight into the kitchen, picked out a suitable apron and put it on. Seeing that they were still standing there in a daze, Lin Chuyi leaned out and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring everything in. We brought back a lot of seafood this time. I will only teach you this time. Come in and learn. Don't say you can't cook later."
After hearing this, the people outside the door immediately agreed in unison, and then worked together to move baskets of seafood into the kitchen. Then, under Lin Chuyi's personal demonstration, they began to seriously learn how to handle these seafood.
When the fat cook saw that Lin Chuyi did not show any dissatisfaction and instead arranged for her to work like other maids, she immediately realized that she had passed this hurdle.
She would never be so naive as to think that the girl really didn't hear what she said before. After all, they were so close to each other at that time. If she said that she didn't hear clearly, it would be purely deceiving herself.
The second girl was so generous and let bygones be bygones, obviously not wanting to argue with her too much, which made the fat cook secretly relieved, and at the same time she was grateful for Lin Chuyi's magnanimity. So, she worked even harder.
