Jin Xiangyu humphed. She was even more certain in her heart that Song Xiangsi did not know how to make crabs. That was why she had stalled for time and refused to cook any crabs. She felt even more pleased with herself now, thinking that she must see him make a fool of himself.
Perhaps her boss would think that she wasted her food ingredients and chased her out. That was what she wanted the most.
Jin Xiangyu looked at her and gave an impatient sneer. "If I let you do it, then do it. If you blame me for it, then I will bear the burden."
Song Xiangsi was overjoyed. She was finally able to eat seafood, but she did not show it on her face. On the contrary, she appeared extremely regretful. Her brows were knitted together as she rolled up her sleeves and reached out her hands to fish.
Just as her hand approached, the originally motionless crab suddenly extended its large pincers and rushed towards her. Luckily, Song Xiangsi's reaction speed was quick, and she dodged it with an even faster speed.
She frowned and pretended to be annoyed. "Really, this thing is scary."
Jin Xiang Yu covered her mouth and secretly laughed. She didn't show it on her face, but Song Xiang Si seemed to go back on her words, "This crab is just like that, you be careful, aiya …" I've already forgotten my business after talking to you for such a long time. When I get back, I still need to talk to the manager about something.
He then left in a good mood.
When her figure disappeared from the kitchen, Lovesick couldn't hold back her laughter. Her pretty lips curved up into a smile, and her pair of big black eyes stared at the crab's body, as if they were flashing.
"Little crabs, let Big Sis serve you well!"
She let out a mischievous laugh. Her hands and feet swiftly grabbed the crab shell, lifting it up. Her movements were very skilled, without the slightest trace of her previous cowardice.
After quickly preparing the ingredients, Song Xiangsi prepared to boil some oil. Today, she was going to show off her skills and cook spicy crabs for the ancient people to try.
Of course, the most important thing was that she was also hungry.
When Jin Xiangyu came out of the kitchen, she went straight to the living room. Seeing that Qiu Lingpi and the other men were still drinking and talking, she smiled and walked in, saying, "This girl has sharp eyes. The crabs we kept were never eaten, so when he went in, he immediately took a fancy to them and asked me what they were.
"That thing is expensive. I'm afraid that she won't be able to do anything bad, but she insisted on doing it. I had no choice but to let her do it."
She covered her mouth with a smile, showing her love for the younger generation but laughing coldly in her heart, waiting for Song Xiangsi to mess things up and receive her boss's scoldings.
Meng Ling Xuan drank a mouthful of wine in silence. His face was expressionless, devoid of any emotions.
Crab?
He had seen quite a few of them before, and to him, they weren't anything special. As long as Lovesick was happy, he could easily destroy hundreds or thousands of them.
However, Qiu Lingpi slightly frowned. He had dragged his friend here from such a far away place and spent a lot of manpower and materials to bring it over. The taste was extremely delicious, and he had always wanted to give it a try.
If Song Xiangsi didn't know how to make it, wouldn't that mean that he had ruined it? However, after thinking for a while, he finally understood. No one in the mansion would make it anyway. If he gave it to Xiangsi, she might give him a new surprise.
Jin Xiangyu saw that he didn't care much about it, so she pouted. She was unhappy, but the others were immediately interested when they heard about this rare crab. They started to clamor about what it was.
She cleared her throat and began to talk to the people. However, she did not understand much about crabs, and many of them were exaggerated by her, purposely saying things that were extremely rare and caused waves of exclamations among the people around her.
Some people clicked their tongues in wonder and felt that Song Xiangsi had debased him, sighing in their hearts.
Jin Xiangyu was overjoyed when she saw this.
An hour had passed, yet there was still no sound from the kitchen. Everyone was anxious from waiting and wanted to see what the crab looked like, so Jin Xiangyu sent her wife to urge it on, hoping to embarrass Song Xiangsi as soon as possible.
Coincidentally, Song Xiangsi had arrived at that moment as well, a plate of fried meat with sauce in her hand. Just as she reached the door, the fragrance had already drifted in.
A fragrant smell wafted into the air. Everyone smelled it and felt a sense of ecstasy as they stared at the plate in Song Xiangsi's hands like tigers and wolves.
"Lovesick girl, what did you do to make it so fragrant?" Uncle Liu liked to eat the most, so he couldn't help but ask while chuckling.
Meng Ling Xuan silently put down the wine cup in his hand. His dark eyes stared intently at Song Xiangsi's body, revealing a gentle ray of light.
Song Xiangsi smiled and gave a simple introduction of the fried meat and then went to bring another plate. After a while, a few dishes had already been served. They were frantically fighting over them, praising Song Xiangsi with their thumbs up.
Song Xiangsi smiled bashfully. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous as he spoke frankly to everyone.
Jin Xiangyu was unhappy. Seeing that Song Xiangsi was not only not slapped, but also praised by everyone, she was so angry that her chest felt stuffy.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of something. She looked towards Song Xiangsi and suddenly asked, "Girl, we only have these dishes. Didn't you just say that you were going to make us a crab to taste?"
Her eyes were filled with ill intentions as she waited to use her final trump card to cause Song Xiangsi to receive criticism.
Unexpectedly, Song Xiangsi only gave her a meaningful glance before turning around and entering the kitchen.
Jin Xiangyu's heart skipped a beat. She had a faint premonition that something bad was about to happen.
She forcefully suppressed the panic in her heart as she consoled herself. Song Xiangsi's cowardly performance just now was definitely because she had never seen a crab before. It must be that she was deliberately mystifying it, it must be so!
When she thought here, Jin Xiangyu finally calmed down. With a sneer on her face, she quietly waited for Song Xiangsi to make a fool of herself.
After a while, Song Xiangsi came back with a plate in her hands. All the crabs were cut in half by her, and they were wrapped in a rich, fragrant broth. Just looking at it made her feel full of appetite.
Especially when the fragrance assaulted their noses. Everyone's appetite was instantly awakened. Some even couldn't help drooling from their mouths, wanting to quickly have a taste.
The soup was thick and delicious, and it was very delicious just by looking at it.
Even Meng Fanxuan's eyes lit up. He did not expect Song Xiangsi to give him such a pleasant surprise every time she visited.
Qiu Lingpi's eyes were glued onto the plate, unable to move at all. If it were not for his astonishing mental fortitude, he would have even rushed forward to grab the plate and gobble it down.
Jin Xiangyu gritted her teeth as she saw the crowd's exaggerated expressions. She secretly resented them in her heart. She hadn't thought that even her boss would like this girl's food so much.
In fact, she couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva just now.
