182: A big lobster

Li Mingyun opened the box, and a very large, bright red object inside startled him.

"What is it!" Li Mingyun was so scared that he retreated three steps.

All the employees looked over.

"What's wrong? Is there a mouse in the box?" The manager, Qiu Tianrui, laughed.

Li Mingyun shook his head: "It's bigger than a mouse."

"I didn't see it clearly just now."

He hadn't expected such a large creature to be in the box, and caught off guard, it made him shiver.

After adjusting himself, Li Mingyun, holding a broom, cautiously stepped forward and lifted the lid of the box.

Looking inside, it turned out to be a lobster, not some strange creature.

Li Mingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing, I overreacted. It's not a mouse, it's a lobster." Saying that, Li Mingyun took out the large lobster.

He held the lobster, which was bigger than his face, above his head, examining it curiously, then found it was too hot and quickly placed it on the serving platter.

"A boston lobster!" A customer exclaimed.

The others also looked over curiously.

Li Mingyun rubbed his head: "Is this the legendary boston lobster?"

"Then isn't it very expensive?"

He had only heard of it but had never seen one.

After all, even if he saw this thing, he couldn't afford to eat it, so there was no benefit except to make him feel bad.

Why would he want to see this thing?

He never expected to have the good fortune of seeing it today.

Wait... is this their work meal?

Work meal?

The manager quickly sent a message in the group, asking if it had been sent to the wrong place.

Soon, he received a reply: it wasn't sent incorrectly, this was theirs.

The manager looked inside and saw two boston lobsters, one steamed and one with minced garlic.

Goodness, he didn't expect those pictures in the group to actually be real!

Besides the boston lobsters, each of them had a white serving platter with their names clearly engraved on it.

The manager distributed the serving platters to the other three.

Inside the serving platters were stir-fried pork, small green vegetables, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Finally, there were three bowls of soup inside.

Originally, the manager had intended to let Li Mingyun and Xiao Zhang eat first, but seeing such exquisite food, his stomach started to rumble.

At this moment, four employees who were supposed to work the night shift arrived and greeted the manager.

"Aren't you on the night shift? Why are you here so early?" Manager Qiu Tianrui asked, puzzled.

An employee smiled and said: "Manager, there was a message in the group. Employee meals are starting now, no matter what shift you're on, three meals a day are provided."

"Even on your day off, you can eat at the company!"

"We were very curious about the employee meals, plus we thought you might not have time to eat, so we came to relieve you."

"Although we're relieving you, you only need to work six hours, and you can come to work a bit later in the afternoon!"

"So that's how it is!" Manager Qiu Tianrui nodded, eagerly saying, "Then you guys cover for us first, and we'll switch with you as soon as we finish eating!"

After speaking, the manager took the box out of the Milk Tea Shop and started eating on the road.

Because of the two large lobsters, they couldn't hold them while eating.

Fortunately, the box was very large; turned upside down, it became a table. They placed the two large lobsters on it and could then squat beside it to eat.

The four people were already impatient, picking up their serving platters and devouring their food.

The serving platters also thoughtfully had vinegar prepared for them, and there was chili oil in the box. If they wanted chili, they could pour it onto the serving platter and dip the lobster meat in it.

Four people, two boston lobsters, ate with great enjoyment.

Li Mingyun slapped his thigh and said: "It's a pity there's no alcohol. If there were, it would be even more awesome!"

Manager Qiu Tianrui said: "It's not that there's no alcohol, but it's work time so we can't drink."

"When we get off work this afternoon, we'll order some alcohol for that meal and have a big feast!"

"Great!" All three of them beamed.

The four ate as if no one else was around, while customers gathered nearby, watching the two exquisite boston lobsters and salivating.

Some simply took out their phones to record.

Someone even asked: "Manager, is your Milk Tea Shop still hiring?"

"Do you think I'm suitable?"

"My demands aren't high, just give me three thousand in salary."

"As long as there are lobsters to eat and various fruits to devour, I don't care about anything else."

Qiu Tianrui smiled and replied: "Our boss wouldn't be so stingy."

"Three thousand in salary?"

"My salary is over fifteen thousand, new employees get thirteen thousand, plus five insurances and one housing fund!"

"With such high salaries, any vacancy is filled immediately."

"Not to mention you, many of my friends want me to help them get in, but I can't do much."

Hearing their high salaries, everyone exclaimed in envy.

"Mommy, I want to eat lobster too!" A little girl hugged her mother's leg and whined.

Her mother shook her head: "This lobster costs at least three hundred a jin at the supermarket, I can't afford it!"

Hearing this, the little girl pouted. She didn't understand why others said her mother had a good job.

But the Milk Tea Shop employees could afford to eat it, while her mother couldn't?

The four ate with great satisfaction, their mouths literally dripping with oil.

The customers also enjoyed watching, but there was a slight side effect: their stomachs started to feel hungry!

As a result, after these four finished eating, the four on the night shift took over.

Again, two boston lobsters, as if they were free.

Too extravagant!

The customers sighed inwardly.

The customers initially thought this was just a bit of fun and didn't take it too seriously.

But the next day, the employees switched to hairy crabs, again eating with their mouths full of oil.

The customers could no longer stand it. One by one, they uploaded videos online, intending to denounce them.

"This is too much, they are truly too much! boston lobsters, three hundred a jin, they devour two in one meal!"

"And hairy crabs, abalone, sea cucumber—what kind of immortal boss is this, giving employees such good food?"

The Video Blogger spoke angrily, accompanied by the video, truly shedding tears.

Not long after it was posted, a comment below the video said: "What's that? The employees said squatting was uncomfortable without chairs."

"Chairs were immediately arranged, along with a folding table. Now they don't squat to eat anymore!"

"Oh, by the way, I just checked online, the serving platters they use cost three hundred a set if sold individually. Even with bulk customization, it would still be at least one hundred a set."

"They are baby food grade, have self-sterilizing functions, and are shatterproof!"

The video went viral.

Countless videos circulated online.

If it were just one or two days, netizens would only treat it as a spectacle.

But for several consecutive days, with different food every day, people suddenly realized that the Milk Tea Shop boss wasn't just occasionally giving out benefits to employees.

This was normal employee meal service!

Someone asked for help online, seeing how deliciously the Milk Tea Shop employees ate, seemingly no worse than a five-star chef.

He also wanted to taste it, asking for the address and delivery link.

A comment below replied: "Don't even think about it. I asked the Bingmi Milk Tea employees."

"They said this is specially prepared by a chef hired by the company, only serving them, not for external sale."
