Chapter 667 - 667 The Highest Reward
667 The Highest Reward
“Oh, so you’re saying that the master is cooking now to reward the stewards? ”
“It should be!”
“I’m so envious!”
Once he smelled it, he was sure that the cooking was the best in the world.
Not long after, the servant girl who made the fire ran out of the kitchen and shouted, ” come over quickly. The master said that there’s some extra food in the kitchen and she’s saving it for us.”!!
After saying that, she ran back to the kitchen without caring about the others’ reactions. It looked like she wanted to make the first move.
The servants thought they had heard wrong. When they came back to their senses, they all rushed into the kitchen.
After that, a food-snatching battle occurred in the kitchen. It was a lively scene that had never happened before!
After they finished eating, the servants took their empty plates and bowls and licked them. Then, they asked the fire-making servant girl in confusion, “Xiao Hua, did the little master really cook this personally? ”
Xiao Hua had the advantage and ate the most. However, she also didn’t feel full. She nodded and said, ” of course.”
The others nodded and said in confusion, ” I thought that little master was only cooking for the four managers. I didn’t expect that even us servants would have a share.”
“Ah, it’s worth it to eat the most delicious food in my life.”
“That’s right, no wonder manager Lin said that the highest reward for them was not money or jewelry, but a meal. After eating it, I realized that this food can’t be bought even with money.”
“Do you think we servants will get the highest reward?” Someone immediately asked expectantly.
Xiao Hua said, ” little master asked me to pass on a message to everyone. If everyone is loyal and honest and doesn’t have the intention to betray master, she will give everyone this reward every year!
“Xiao Hua, is it true?” Everyone looked at Xiao Hua with anticipation.
“Of course it’s true!” Lin Jinmei, who was the steward Lin that the servants were talking about, suddenly appeared outside the kitchen.
Seeing Lin Jinmei, everyone’s expressions immediately became serious. They respectfully called out to Lin Jinmei, ” manager Lin!”
Lin Jinmei nodded and said, ” in master’s heart, there’s no distinction between rich and poor. As long as everyone thinks of themselves as a human and not a dog, they can live their own wonderful lives. This is the true nature of humans. Therefore, in master’s heart, as long as you don’t seek death by betraying her, she will protect and love you so that everyone should treat this place as a real home.”
“Her master was a person who clearly distinguished between good and evil. If one did well, one would be rewarded. But on the contrary, those who betray her… She will skin those who betray her and pull out their tendons. So, the consequences are not something you can bear.”
Hearing Lin Jinmei’s words, the servants were instantly excited.
The people who were sold were just dogs of the rich families. If they wanted to beat or scold them, it was up to their master’s mood.
This was the first time they had heard of a master who said that there was no distinction between rich and poor and that one should live with confidence and dignity.
This was the first time that a master’s family had treated a servant like a human. Besides, the master also said that since they had entered the manor, they were a family.
Servants and masters were families. They instantly felt a little ridiculous and incredulous, but they immediately felt warm in their hearts. Even if these words were just casual and perfunctory, they felt warm.
In an instant, everyone immediately followed Lin Jinmei and promised, ” steward Lin, please don’t worry. We will definitely not betray our master! Otherwise, we will be struck by lightning as punishment!”
If Lin yuelan were here, she would definitely roll her eyes.
Why were the people here so fond of punishing themselves with lightning?
However, after thinking about it, it was excusable.
This was because, in everyone’s understanding, being struck by lightning was the same as being punished by the heavens. They were receiving retribution from the heavens.
Therefore, using the lightning strike to make a solemn vow was the best.
Lin Jinmei saw that the effect had been achieved, so she nodded and walked back.
Then she started to run because if she were any slower, the food would have been snatched up by her other brothers and sisters.
Lin yuelan sat there with a smile. Then, the others didn’t care about their master and started to fight over the food at the table.
With delicious food in front of them, they didn’t care about any brotherly or sisterly feelings. Snatching the food and putting it into their mouths was more important.
After eating and drinking to their fill, they all touched their round bellies and said, ” master, you’re so young. How did you practice your cooking skills? It’s so delicious.” Even brothers and sisters had to fight over a meal.
Lin yuelan just smiled and didn’t say anything.
Although her cooking skills were not the best in modern times, it was more than enough to compete with other chefs in ancient times.
She looked at Lin Jinmei and asked, ” are these servants all bound to life contract?”
Lin Jinmei didn’t understand what her master meant. After a moment of shock, she replied, ” yes.”
She considered the master’s situation and confidentiality, so she got the servants who had a life contract.
Lin yuelan wasn’t someone who would give anyone freedom just because she said so.
Since they had signed a life contract back then, that was their fate.
Lin yuelan replied, ” yes, I’ll pick people to train in the future. However, I still have one thing to say. It’s fine if my people are not the smartest or the most capable, but they must be the most loyal, understand?”
Lin Jinmei immediately reacted and said, ” yes, master!”
Lin yuelan looked at the time and said, ” alright, go and rest!”
The four siblings immediately went to rest.
After they left, Lin yuelan called out, ” guard Jie!”
“Master!” Guard Jie immediately appeared in front of Lin yuelan.
Lin yuelan asked, ” are those people here now? ”
Guard Jie replied, “Yes, master!”
