Meng Chuyuan smiled faintly and said, “I’m not as attentive as you. You’re always watching me.”
A trivial matter could be magnified infinitely in front of Lu Jinsen.
Lu Jinsen snorted. “Don’t flatter yourself. When have I ever had my eyes on you?”
“How can you observe me so closely without staring at me?”
At noon, the eight guests successfully completed the task assigned by the production team and received their corresponding labor coins.
Meng Chuyuan still had the right to use labor coins. Just like yesterday, she exchanged the coins for eggs and prawns, as well as some scallops and tofu. “Haughty Brother, I’ll arrange the scrambled eggs with shrimp for you today.” Lu Jinsen frowned unhappily and did not speak to Meng Chuyuan.
[Sister Meng’s call for her ‘Haughty brother’ is so customary. Hahaha, it’s mainly because the Eldest Young Master tacitly agreed.]
[Lu Jinsen: Why is she bringing this up again? I’m speechless.]
[Sister Meng still remembers that Young Master wanted to eat scrambled eggs with shrimps, so she specially exchanged for some eggs and shrimp for him.]
[I’m starting to look forward to it. Last time, Young Master didn’t fry the egg well. I wonder if he can make the scrambled eggs with shrimp this time.]
[I remember that Lu Jinsen was quite confident last time. Didn’t he say that cooking wasn’t that difficult? Hahaha, his expression changed at the mention of cooking.]
Ting Jiu and Luo Yunzhou had just arrived, they were quite happy to receive labor coins for the first time. They didn’t consider any issues of frivolity and directly spent their labor coins whenever they saw something they wanted.
They exchanged for some kelp and taro, as well as crabs, conchs, and abalone. They had almost spent all their labor coins.
“I suddenly thought of a question. Can you cook?”
After Ting Jiu exchanged for the ingredients, he belatedly remembered that their group had yet to divide their labor.
When Luo Yunzhou heard this, he suddenly turned around and looked at Ting Jiu in surprise. He shook his head and said, “I can’t. What about you?”
“Neither can I.”
In the face of so many ingredients, Luo Yunzhou scratched his head. “Then what should we do?”
[I’m dying of laughter. Hahaha, With one look, they have both confirmed that they are newbies.]
[Brothers, although you’re special guests, you still have to save up on your labor coins. You still have to use them tomorrow. Director Luo is not a good person. He doesn’t accept credit.]
[I thought these two nouveau riche would know how to cook after exchanging so many things. I didn’t expect them to be amateurs.]
[The phrase ‘Dumb handsome guy’ is referring to Ting Jiu and Luo Yunzhou, right?]
Ting Jiu looked up and saw that Meng Chuyuan had not gone far, so he said to
Luo Yunzhou, “Why don’t we go to my senior’s place for lunch?” Luo Yunzhou asked in confusion, “You have a senior here?”
“Wait, I’ll go ask.”
After saying this, Ting Jiu ran to Meng Chuyuan. “Sister Chuyuan, Brother
Yunzhou and I don’t know how to cook. Can we eat with you for lunch?” Lu Jinsen moved his lips and was about to say no, but Meng Chuyuan agreed.
“Sure, just bring your ingredients to my place.” Ting Jiu said, “Thank you, Sis. We’ll look for you later.”
Meng Chuyuan smiled and said, “No problem.”
Lu Jinsen was really unhappy this time. It was not that he could not stand other people’s freeloading behavior, but he just felt a little uneasy.
Why was it that when Ting Jiu’s team didn’t know how to cook, with just one word Meng Chuyuan was willing to serve them? Yet when he didn’t know how to cook, he could only learn by himself.
Lu Jinsen asked, “Since they’re coming over to eat, don’t they have to work
“What are you doing? Don’t you know that they’re guests?”
Lu Jinsen raised another question. “Then you’re just going to let them eat and drink for free without doing anything?”
“How can you call that a free meal? Didn’t I just ask them to bring their ingredients to me? You have to think from another angle. This is called a free additional meal.”
[What a good free additional meal. Hahaha, Sister Meng is too good at talking.] [This is another part of life that the Young Master doesn’t understand.]
[Young Master’s brain is like a helicopter. He doesn’t even know how to be versatile, hahaha.]
[Sister Meng said: I have the ingredients and the workers.]
[Another day of worshiping Sister Meng’s brain. Why is it so useful? She has convinced others and herself.]
After returning to her residence, Meng Chuyuan threw herself into the kitchen. Lu Jinsen was undoubtedly her assistant.
His task today was still to pick out the shrimp veins. With yesterday’s experience, Lu Jinsen was not so clumsy today.
Meng Chuyuan soaked the scallop first, then washed it clean. She used a small knife to pry it open and let out the fleshless half of the shell.
At this moment, Jiu and Luo Yunzhou came over with the ingredients.
“Sister Chuyuan, we’re here.”
When Meng Chuyuan saw them bringing the ingredients over, she said bluntly, “Put the things on the table. I’ll deal with them later.”
Luo Yunzhou asked, “Do you need our help?”
“No need, I can handle it. Just sit down and rest for a while.”
The main thing was that their kitchen was not big enough to accommodate so many people.
Ting Jiu said, “Then call us if you need us. We’ll be outside.”
The two of them finished delivering the ingredients to Meng Chuyuan. When they came out, they saw Lu Jinsen sitting at the side picking out shrimp veins, so they took the initiative to approach him.
Ting Jiu: “Brother Sen, do you need help?”
When Lu Jinsen heard this, he looked up and realized that Tingjiu and Luo
Yunzhou had walked over.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, “You guys know how to pick out shrimp veins, right?”
[Oh my god, I’m going to be laugh to death because of Young Master.
Hahahaha.]
[666, did Eldest Young Master learn this rudeness from Sister Meng?]
[Lu Jinsen’s devious scheme is not bad.]
[Lu Jinsen said: Since you guys are the ones who came knocking on my door, let’s pick out the shrimp veins together.]
[Although the special guests don’t know how to cook, they can help.]
When Luo Yunzhou heard this, he said proactively, “I know how to.”
Ting Jiu’s mouth twisted into an awkward smile, he said in embarrassment,
“I’ve never picked out shrimp veins before. Is it difficult?”
“It’s not difficult. It’s quite simple. Sit down and I’ll teach you.”
After Lu Jinsen asked Ting Jiu to sit down, he held a toothpick in one hand and a shrimp in the other. He demonstrated the picking to him in slow motion.
Ting Jiu followed after Lu Jinsen ‘s demonstration and he quickly learned how to do it.
After teaching Ting Jiu how to pick out shrimp veins, Lu Jinsen’s eyes were filled with satisfaction.
After a while, Lu Jinsen stood up and said calmly, “I’ll leave this to the two of you. I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jinsen came into the kitchen with his two hands behind his back like an old man taking a stroll.
Meng Chuyuan had just finished cooking the scallops and placed them in the pot for steaming when she turned around and saw Lu Jinsen.
“Didn’t I ask you to pick out the shrimp veins? Are you done already?”
“No, they’re picking it for me.”
Meng Chuyuan frowned and asked in confusion, “Who?”
“The two who gave us the free additional meals.”
Meng Chuyuan walked to the door curiously and glanced outside. She saw Tingjiu and Luo Yunzhou sitting side by side on the eaves, picking out the shrimp veins.
She retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Jinsen in admiration. “You’re really
something.. “
