445 Old gentleman's birthday (1 more)
"What is this?"
Looking at the open cake, Meng asked curiously.
"This is a birthday cake, and we will use it as a staple in our cake shop in the future."
Song Wanyue replied.
Meng didn't quite understand, but she understood the birthday cake, "You mean to say that this is eaten on the birthday?"
"Grandmother is smart."
Song Wanyue gave Meng Shi a thumbs up, provoking her with a smile on her face.
Xu Shi also laughed, "Why don't you get a piece for your grandmother to taste." ”
Song Wanyue cut the cake, Xu took a special plate and handed it to Meng with both hands, Meng took it, and after taking a small bite, he was full of praise, "Your great-grandfather will have his birthday in five days, and I am discussing with your mother and your second grandmother how to spend it, just right, just use this birthday cake." ”
"Your great-grandfather's birthday?"
"yes."
Speaking of this, Meng felt guilty, "Your mother has been missing for all these years, and your maternal great-grandfather has not had a birthday, and now that your mother is back, we want to make a big deal for him." ”
"Okay, okay, I can help with the planning."
"You don't need you, you can just be busy with your pastry shop, just have me, your mother and your second grandmother."
These days, Song Wanyue has been conditioning Meng's body, and with a good mood, Meng's has basically recovered, and people have recovered their previous spirits.
"Mama Wu, you go and call the second brother and sister and let her taste this cake too."
Mama Wu's legs and feet were very fast, and it didn't take long for her to call the second lady over.
After tasting the cake, the second lady was also full of praise, but also raised a question, "There must be a lot of people who came on my father's birthday, and such a small cake is definitely not enough for people to eat. ”
Meng thinks it's feasible.
Song Wanyue waved her hand and said half-truthfully, "The birthday cake can only be made once, it's not good to make too much, but what the second grandmother said is also right, such a small one is really not enough to eat, I will make a six-layer one, enough to eat." ”
"Can you do six floors?"
Not to mention the Meng family and the second lady, even the Xu family are very surprised.
"Yes, I'll draw it, and let's discuss what shape is good."
Mama Wu hurriedly went to get a pen and paper, Song Wanyue first drew a six-layer cake, wrote the word blessing on the top layer, and then drew a five-layer one, and drew a longevity peach on the top layer, and also wrote the word blessing.
The second lady fell in love with Shou Tao at a glance, "That's it." ”
Meng Shi also nodded, "It's decided, you guys will discuss the details again, and I'll ask my father." ”
After saying that, Mama Wu came forward to help, and the two came to the old gentleman's courtyard.
Xu Yan was accompanying the old gentleman to discuss knowledge, and the Yun family took the child back to his parents' house and was not in the house.
"Mother."
Xu Yan got up and saluted first, Meng nodded slightly, and saluted the old gentleman, "Father, my daughter-in-law came here to discuss something with you." ”
It is said that people are in good spirits at happy events, and the old gentleman is no exception, the granddaughter has been found, and the grandson's family has also returned, and the smile on the old gentleman's face has not been broken these days.
"You say."
"My daughter-in-law and younger siblings will take care of your birthday in the next few days, everything is ready, just wait for the day to welcome the guests, but now there is one thing, you can only come forward."
The old gentleman agreed to celebrate his birthday, and he wanted to take advantage of the excitement of his birthday to drive away the bad luck in the house, and he said, "What's the matter?" ”
"The daughter-in-law doesn't want him to attend, can the father think of a way?"
The old gentleman paused for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about Mr. Big, without the slightest hesitation, "Leave this matter to me." ”
"Thank you, father."
The old gentleman said, "Yan'er, you help your mother go back first." ”
Xu Yan should yes, got up and helped Meng Shi back.
When they left, the old gentleman asked Xu Liang to call Mr. Big over.
If it weren't for the last resort, the old gentleman wouldn't want to see him at a glance. The old gentleman didn't understand, what did the Huo family do to his son and protect her so much?
The voice was cold and hard, "It's my birthday in a few days, I don't want to see you, you pretend to be sick!" ”
Mr. Big looked up.
Naturally, he heard that he was going to hold a big birthday for the old man, and even discussed with the Huo family for several days, thinking about what kind of birthday gift they were preparing to please the old man.
"You know why I did this, if you don't want to lose face, do what I say."
"Father's ......"
"What, you want to tell me about that year?"
Mr. Big's forward steps paused when he heard the old man's cold and hard words.
"Since you don't want to say it, you should go back to your yard without my father."
"Father ......", Mr. Big stood still, he and the Huo family have been in that small courtyard these days, and they have not come out once, he thinks that he has made concessions enough, but he didn't expect his father to think like this at all.
"No matter what happened back then, so many years have passed, and Wan'er is back, why do you hold on to it and embarrass your son?"
How sick is a father's birthday, but his son doesn't attend? How is he going to pretend? If others see the flaw and spread it, where will his face go?
"So, you do know what happened?"
There was already anger in the old gentleman's tone.
"I know, don't you all think I know? Even if I say I don't know, do any of you believe me? Father, I am your son, your own son! ”
"If you weren't my son, you would think you would still stand here and talk to me, even if I used all my connections, I would send you to prison, let you sit through the prison, and never think of it for the rest of your life."
Mr. Big's face changed.
", I don't want to see you again."
Hearing the old gentleman's angry voice, Xu Liang, who was standing at the door, lifted the curtain and came in, "Mr. Big, please." ”
……
On the way, Xu Yan walked slowly with Meng in his arms, and Mama Wu followed behind their mother and son, and from time to time there were passers-by who stopped to salute.
"Your uncle is almost here, isn't he?"
When sending a letter to Xu Yan, Meng also asked people to send a letter to his mother's family, but Jiangnan was far away, and it took many days.
"If there are no accidents on the road, my grandfather and uncle will be able to arrive before his birthday."
Meng nodded, "You have helped your uncle choose a birthday gift these days, and when he comes, he will directly give it to your grandfather." ”
Xu Yan should be.
……
The next day, after going to the cake shop, Song Wanyue took out the drawings of the six-layer cake, and Xiao Yao and the yellow cake couple looked at it straight.
"Let's try it first, so as not to get it right at one time."
Song Wanyue said.
Everyone was busy in an instant, and the cake was ready, and it was sure to be a blockbuster at the old gentleman's birthday banquet, and then their reputation as a pastry shop would be known.
It wasn't until mid-afternoon that the cake was fully ready.
A room full of people looked at the cake that was taller than themselves, and they were all shocked.
Especially the yellow cake, he has made pastries for most of his life, and he has never been so proud as this moment.
……
In the blink of an eye, three days later.
