Chapter Seventy-Four: Birthday
Bucket-shaped ice cubes were hung on ropes and arranged around the outside of the inn to form a fence, and when night fell, the lit candles were put into the ice, and the area around the inn suddenly became a sea of lights.
This is an ice lamp made by Ye Zi in the most primitive way, a bucket filled with ice, and then poured out the water that has not frozen, it is a simple ice lamp.
The inn is also brightly lit, and there is a huge palace lamp hanging in the middle of the hall, radiating nine ropes, and nine small palace lamps are hung on each one, a total of eighty-two palace lamps, burning candles that can be used for a year, and the whole guest hall is illuminated.
Under the palace lamp, a variety of dried fruits, fruits, and small desserts are placed on the table, and the girls of the Zhilan Club release their youthful vitality to the fullest.
In the kitchen, there is a thick soup boiling in the cauldron, Jiang Yan is preparing vegetables, kitchen knives are flying, fresh fish, beef and mutton are turning into thin slices like cicada wings, Tang Yi, who has a hand, puts the fish slices and meat slices on a plate neatly beside them, and Ye Zi is holding a peach-shaped cake in his hand, tasting the taste of nostalgia.
After deciding to celebrate Mei Ruxue's birthday, he thought of a cake, not to make a birthday cake, just to make a fresh food, he just knew how to make a cake, but he had no concept of making cream, and he didn't think about holding a Western-style birthday party.
After many experiments, with the assistance of Tang Yi, he successfully built a charcoal stove, and told Jiang Yan how to make the cake, and then started to be the shopkeeper.
Originally, he wanted to wait for Jiang Yan to help after being frustrated, but he completely underestimated Jiang Yan's pursuit of cooking and food, although the production has not been smooth, but the craftsmanship has been improving, and he has made quite a good cake a few days ago.
Gong Yixuan quietly slipped into the kitchen, snatched the cake in Ye Zi's hand and put it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a sad and indignant face: "Soft and sweet, you don't take out such a good gourmet leaf, you actually eat alone here, I really mistook you!"
Ye Zi rolled his eyes, "Brother Gonglo, you are the eldest young master of the Gongloser, pay attention to whether it is good or not, there is my saliva on it!"
Gong Xuan's face turned white suddenly, "Bastard, you are ruthless enough!"
The notch on the cake was broken by his fingers, so he grabbed it and put it in his mouth, but Yezi's statement was still very lethal.
Ye Zi smiled proudly like a little fox, and suddenly thought of something, "Brother Gongyi, there is something I forgot to say just now, we went out today and met three Sipinu Dao Lotus Masters, killed one person, and two people escaped, can Brother Gongyi help go to the City Lord's Mansion to report this matter?"
Tang Yi, who was putting fish fillets and meat slices on a plate, trembled slightly, and then continued to work as if nothing had happened.
"Nu Dao Lotus Master, their hands and feet are really long enough, and they actually came to Ningzhou. Gong Xuan's expression became solemn, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Ye Zi, what are the characteristics of them, when I return to Cloud Waterfall City tomorrow, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion and ask the City Lord to arrange someone to hunt them down!"
"It's a man and a woman, the male scholar is dressed up, and the woman is wearing a red dress, you can ask Qing'er for specific details. Ye Zi briefly described it, and then returned the matter to Gong Yiqing.
The fish and meat have all been sliced and put on a plate, and a longevity noodle is prepared, and the birthday party can begin.
There is also a tradition of eating longevity noodles in this world, and Ye's plan is to make a longevity noodles by hand, and the noodles have been reconciled.
Fish fillets and meat slices are served, various vegetables are served, dipping sauce is put into bowls, the first batch of wine brewed by Xiaohua is taken out, and then a dozen charcoal hot pots are moved, put in the burning charcoal fire, and filled to make a good bone soup.
Ye Zi drove everyone out of the kitchen, took out the dough and put it on the board, skillfully kneading it into long strips and kneading it under the palm of his hand, for this noodle, he had practiced for a long time.
A uniform thickness of noodles is finally completed, Ye put the noodles into the pot, a few minutes later out of the bowl, add bone broth, put on the poached egg, choy sum, and then serve out.
Longevity noodles were sent to Mei Ruxue, and Ye Zi said with a smile: "Ruxue, a bowl of longevity noodles, noodles will live longer!"
Mei Ruxue held a longevity face, her eyes moistened, after her father died, she thought that she would never feel the warmth of home again, although she and Ye Zi were already like family, but she always thought that it was different, and now she found out that she was wrong.
"Thank you, Childe!" Mei Ruxue lowered her head, tears falling into the bowl.
Ye Zi smiled lightly, "Let's eat noodles, everyone can't wait to start the meal!"
Mei Ruxue picked up the noodles and put them in her mouth, happiness echoed in her heart, and she whispered to herself: "Daddy, my daughter can already live to gray hair, and my daughter is still very happy." ”
After eating noodles and poached eggs, and drinking noodle soup, Mei Ruxue put down the bowl, raised her head and smiled like a flower, "Childe, the noodles are a little soft and salty!"
In an instant, the hall was full of whispers, even though Ye Zi's face was as thick as a city wall, and the old face couldn't help but blush slightly.
Looking at the embarrassed leaves, Mei Ruxue smiled playfully, "Although it's not very delicious, Ruxue likes it very much!"
Ye Zi was speechless and cried, how can a woman be so changeable, why did the well-behaved maid in my family suddenly turn into a little witch?
Raising his glass, "Thank you for coming to celebrate Ru Xue's birthday, let's take a glass to congratulate Ru Xue on her happy birthday." ”
Everyone stood up with their wine glasses, and Xiaohua, Bai Bingrou, and Tanclaw also rolled a glass of wine with their wingtips, and congratulated in unison, "Ruxue, happy birthday." ”
Although I don't know if there is hot pot in other parts of the land of Kyushu, there is no such way to eat in Cloud Waterfall City, Ye Zi picked up the meat and signaled, and everyone here picked up chopsticks one after another to experience the novelty of hot pot.
The powerful temptation of hot pot was once again shown in the Dragon Gate Inn, feeling the same boiling atmosphere as hot pot, Ye Zi couldn't help but sigh, it was really a foodie who conquered the world!
Ye Zi suddenly had an idea, looked at Wu Suyan sitting beside him and asked, "Sister, do you want to enter the catering industry?"
Wu Suyan raised her hand and gently knocked on the head of the leaf, "It's time for Ru Xue to celebrate her birthday, and it's forbidden to talk about irrelevant things." ”
"I'm already tempted!" Ye Zi rubbed his head and muttered quietly.
"Brother, what did you say, my sister didn't hear clearly, so I don't want to say it again. Wu Suyan said with a smile.
Looking at Wu Suyan who was smiling and smiling, Ye Zi immediately shuddered, what's wrong with this world, why did even Sister Suyan start to become a witch?
"I mean, my sister has worked hard all day, so she needs to eat more!" Ye Zidui smiled all over his face, picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in Wu Suyan's bowl.
