All three moved in unison and couldn't wait to taste the meat.

Mo mo Zhang appeared very graceful. As a relatively respectable Mo mo in the mansion, she often ate meat, but the two long-term workers were different. In previous years, when their families’ financial condition was good, they could eat more. But in the past two years, they could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year holiday.

They thought eating meat was already a joyous thing, but when they tasted it, the three of them were all amazed. Even Mo mo Zhang was amazed as well.

This meat tasted different from what they’ve eaten before!

How could this meat taste so delicious?

The three of them buried their heads eating their rice, finished the meat, and even mixed the rice with the broth. It was indescribably delicious.

At first the three of them ate quickly, and then they ate very slowly afterwards.

They were eating quickly because the meat was so good you couldn’t help but take bite after bite, and they were eating slowly because it was so good you wanted to savor more and didn’t want to finish it in just a few bites.

After finishing, the two long-term workers were too embarrassed to talk. Mo mo Zhang couldn't help but ask Wei Ruo: "Miss, did the main kitchen cook this food? Why is it so delicious?”

“Xiumei cooked it.” Wei Ruo replied.

"Miss Xiumei's cooking is so good!" Mo mo Zhang couldn't help but praise, while looking at Xiumei with admiration in her eyes that wasn't there before.

From the first time she saw Xiumei, Mo mo Zhang looked down on her because she was a servant girl hired by the He family for Wei Ruo. She stayed in the countryside with Wei Ruo and lacked much education, far inferior to those who came out of the Colonel's Mansion.

She didn't expect this girl to have such skills! It seems that not all the rural people were unruly and had shallow knowledge, but there were also some that had valuable skills!

Feeling the amazement in the eyes of Mo mo Zhang when she was looking at her, Xiumei couldn't help but smile.

It was the first time Wei Ruo saw such an expression on Mo mo Zhang, who usually looked down on people!

Wei Ruo said to Mo mo Zhang and the two long-term workers: "Lunch is just one aspect. As long as you follow me and work hard, and the tasks I assigned are successfully completed, I will not treat you badly.”

At this moment, one of the long-term workers, Agui, finally couldn't help but said: "Miss, do you mean that we will still be provided with such delicious lunch in the future?”

“Not only for lunch, but also for other welfare benefits*.” Wei Ruo promised.

*Welfare benefits refer to non-cash forms of compensation to retain and motivate employees. The forms of benefits include insurance, physical items, stock options, training, paid leave, and so on.

"Miss, don't worry, we will follow you well!" Agui quickly made a statement to Wei Ruo.

"Me too!" Another long-term worker, Xiaoba, hurriedly followed.

Although it was just a meal, it was very rare for them. Although they didn't know what other benefits Wei Ruo mentioned, it was enough to make them work even more dutifully for Wei Ruo.

Mo mo Zhang didn't say anything. Although she thought the food Wei Ruo gave was delicious, she wouldn’t be so shallow that she would change her opinion of the eldest young lady just for a meal.

As she was thinking, Xiumei walked over and handed Mo mo Zhang a small cloth bag.

At the same time, she also gave Agui and Xiaoba each a bag. Each bag had the same weight, and it felt quite heavy in the hand.

Mo mo Zhang curiously opened the cloth bag and saw the food inside. She asked: "Is this the dried sweet potato that the eldest young lady gave to the ladies before?”

Mo mo Zhang heard about it, and it was said to have won praise from everyone, but she had never seen what the real thing looks like.

"Well, yes, this is easy to store and good for filling the stomach. You can eat it if you are hungry or take it home and give it to your children to try." Wei Ruo said.

Curious, Agui and Xiaoba took a piece and savored it carefully.
