After dinner, everyone in the kitchen cleaned up the kitchen and prepared the ingredients needed for tomorrow's breakfast in advance.
After that, everyone waited for Mrs. Ye to tell them to go back and rest, after all, they had to get up early to cook tomorrow.
But after taking off her apron, Mrs. Ye clapped her hands and said, "Everyone has worked hard today. Although there was a small accident, fortunately, no trouble was caused.
"As everyone heard earlier, Princess Rui and the other ladies praised the lunch highly and gave quite a bit of money as a reward."
When several people heard this, they were immediately delighted.
Although I don’t know how much money it is, the salary paid by Mr. Jiang is already quite a lot. If there is extra money, no matter how much it is, I will be happy.
I saw Mrs. Ye leading a few people to the next room, where there were four trays covered with red cloth on the table.
Mrs. Ye said, "Originally, there were five portions, as you know... so her portion will be divided equally among the four of you. Take it back and put it away."
Lin Yumei was the first to speak up when she heard this: "That's not right. If we have to divide it, it should be between the five of us. How can it be divided between the four of us?"
Feng Yueying nodded when she heard this.
Wu Ying also echoed: "Yes, Madam You, you should have one too."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm the head chef, and my reward money is already higher than yours, so I won't argue with you about this. Just take it all!"
Lin Yumei smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Madam You. We won't be polite to you."
As she spoke, she walked forward and lifted the red cloth on a tray, and then her eyes widened.
Feng Yueying and Wu Ying were also dumbfounded.
Although they have been in this business for a long time, their skills are not top-notch and their families have no connections. This is the first time they have served a guest of this status.
The three of them had received rewards before, but this was the first time they had seen so much silver.
Lin Yumei glanced around the tray and estimated that there were at least twenty taels of silver.
The largest silver ingot weighing five taels must have been given by Princess Rui.
Several large pieces of silver weighing three or two taels should have been awarded by Madam Qin and the other marquises.
There are still quite a few silver coins of various sizes left. Although each one is only worth a few cents, there are so many of them that they add up to quite a lot.
The three of them had received rewards before, but they were considered generous if the host gave them a hundred or two hundred coins. They had never seen such a grand occasion.
Lin Yueying and the other three were dazzled, not to mention Mrs. Ye San, who was seeing this for the first time. She was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide and forgot to close it.
Lin Yumei couldn't help but think that since she could get so much reward money, she didn't know how much Mrs. Ye got.
But no matter how much she thought about it, she knew in her heart that she did not have Mrs. Ye's cooking skills, so it was useless to envy her.
But she became more and more determined to follow Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye is now appreciated by Princess Rui, will she still be short of work in the future?
The wealthy families and rich people in the capital would come to you like a cat smelling fish.
Will you still worry about not making money by then?
Feng Yueying and Wu Ying also stepped forward to take their reward money, thanked Mrs. Ye, and went back.
Mrs. Ye said goodbye to them one by one, then looked at Mrs. Ye San, who was still in a daze with her mouth half open, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, saying, "You've come back to life!"
"Oh my god, sister-in-law, am I dreaming? So much silver?" At this time, only family members were left in the kitchen. Sister-in-law Ye San didn't care about pretending, nor was she afraid that others would think she had never seen the world.
"Are all these mine? I didn't actually do anything at first, and I didn't help at all..."
"Why are you saying all this? Just take it." Sister Ye said with a smile, "I was worried that bringing you out as a kitchen helper might not earn you enough. I didn't expect the princess and the ladies to be so generous."
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" said Sister-in-law Ye San. "These days, I've seen that Yumei, Yueying and the others are much better than me at doing things. I'm still far behind. I'm very grateful that you are willing to lead me."
"Put it away quickly!" Mrs. Ye smiled and pushed the tray towards her. "But I have to tell you, this is just luck. You won't have so much money to prepare a banquet in the countryside in the future."
"Oh, sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. Who do you think I am?" Third Sister Ye said in feigned anger. "Am I the kind of person who's never satisfied? This reward is as much as the third brother earns in a year or two."
"Quickly pack up the money and keep it for yourself. When you get back, discuss with the third brother whether you should go to the bank to exchange it for silver notes or something."
"Okay, I'll discuss this with the boss later." Mrs. Ye San took out a handkerchief, put the silver in it, lifted the four corners and tied them together.
Holding more than twenty taels of silver heavy in her arms, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
This is the first time in my life that I have held so much silver in my arms.
This feels really good.
She held the silver in her arms, but couldn't help wondering how much reward her sister-in-law got this time. Maybe it was as much as fifty taels?
However, she thought about it all the way in her mind and still couldn't ask it until she returned to her room.
However, she had made up her mind to go to Feng Yueying to learn from her tonight, and practice her knife skills after returning home.
Otherwise, when her sister-in-law's business grows bigger and bigger, she can't just sit around and take money for free, right?
Mrs. Ye didn't notice Mrs. Ye's little thoughts. She returned to the room, slammed the door shut, and locked it from the inside.
