Seeing Yuan Zhou insist, Yin ya nodded her head docilely and then walked forward along with Yuan Zhou’s strength.
Carpenter Lian’s birthday party had always been held in his shop. The shop was spacious, and there were tables and chairs to support it at any time. There was also a kitchen. All he needed to do was to clean up the place and decorate it.
Before he even got close, he heard Carpenter Lian’s familiar and confident voice.
“Don’t think that you can get away with this stupid chair just because it’s my birthday today. What’s the point of making a chair?”
“I’ve been learning for so long. If you design like this, then, didn’t you learn human engineering? You’re just pursuing a good style and forgetting about the person sitting on the chair, can you sacrifice comfort?”
Yuan Zhou and Yin ya were already used to it. They walked in directly and saw Carpenter Lian standing in front of an apprentice, his saliva flying everywhere.
The figure that wasn’t tall at first instantly grew much taller.
“I wish Master a Happy Birthday, and this day will come every year.” Yuan Zhou took out a wooden box from the package and handed it to Carpenter Lian with both hands.
“Little Yuan, you’re here. And little ya, come in, come in.” Carpenter Lian’s expression changed instantly and he said to Yuan Zhou and Yin ya very gently.
“Master, I wish you a Happy Birthday. Your skills are getting better and better, and you’ll have peaches all over the world.” Yin ya said with a big smile.
…
“Xiao Ya is good at talking. Come on in.” Carpenter Lian also treated Yin ya with a gentle manner.
The phrase ‘love the house and its Crow’ was displayed to the extreme.
The one being scolded was Carpenter Lian’s apprentice, Yang Wei. Although he had seen Carpenter Lian’s attitude towards Yuan Zhou many times, he was still surprised every time he saw it. The difference was too great.
“When you see your senior brother and Senior sister-in-law, don’t you know how to say hello? did I teach you to do this?” Carpenter Lian turned to Yang Wei and glared at him.
“Hello, senior brother and Senior sister-in-law.” Yang Wei was already used to it. He immediately turned his head and greeted Yuan Zhou and the others.
“Hello, Junior Brother.” After Yuan Zhou and Yin ya returned the greeting, they followed Carpenter Lian into the restaurant.
Yin ya handed a bag that she had been carrying in her hand to Carpenter Lian and said,”Master, this is a coat that was specially made. Can you see if it fits you?” This was the birthday gift she had prepared.
Yuan Zhou had originally thought that one serving was enough for the two of them since they were a family. However, Yin ya felt that she couldn’t count it that way as she wasn’t married yet. Therefore, she still prepared one serving.
“Xiao Ya is so considerate. It’s a gift from you. It’ll definitely be good.” Carpenter Lian was happy in his heart. His expression was no longer as rigid as before, which was quite different from his usual expression.
“Little Yuan, didn’t I tell Ma Xiao to stop you from cooking? why did you bring so many things? did he not tell you?” After saying that, Carpenter Lian wanted to settle the score with Ma Xiao.
Ma Xiao, who was so busy, didn’t know that a pot had almost fallen from the sky.
“No, master, I want to cook a meal for you. You won’t refuse me even with this request, right?” Yuan Zhou said.
“You’re always like this, kid. You haven’t been slacking on your carpentry skills recently, have you?” Carpenter Lian understood Yuan Zhou’s intention and thus returned to the main business.
Seeing the two of them talking about serious business, Yin ya hurriedly turned around and went to the venue to see if there was anything she could help with.
After all, today was a good day of the year. Therefore, Carpenter Lian didn’t ask much. After a few words, he let go of Yuan Zhou and let him go to work. He also grabbed Yang Wei, who was passing by, and started a new round of practice of the roaring lion’s technique.
The birthday banquet wasn’t a big one. It was just a meal for close friends. Therefore, Yuan Zhou only prepared four cold dishes, eight hot dishes and a soup for each table.
Considering the customers who seemed to have a huge appetite every time they came to the restaurant, the portion of each dish of Yuan Zhou could basically be counted as two dishes. That should be enough to eat.
Of course, birthday cakes and longevity noodles were indispensable for his birthday.
Ever since he had successfully made The Cake House, Yuan Zhou had become very familiar with making cakes. Moreover, his craftsmanship was getting better and better.
The three-layer cake was gradually reduced in layers, and each layer was surrounded by a circle of life-like longevity peaches. At the top was a large peach, and the side was the branches of the peach tree, as if the peaches were growing on the peach tree.
When the cake was brought to the main table, everyone was amazed by the exquisite and gorgeous cake.
Different from the birthday cake last year, this year’s birthday peach cake was more exquisite and made people want to eat it.
“Little Yuan, this kid can only eat his desserts at this time of the year. You’re lucky, you old thing.” Zhou Shijie was extremely envious and jealous of Carpenter Lian’s luck in getting Yuan Zhou as his disciple.
“Heh, my disciple, if you don’t cook for me, do you think you can? You wish. ” Carpenter Lian gave Zhou Shijie a sidelong glance. If not for the fact that it was not the right time, he would have rolled up his sleeves and pulled it.
Zhou Shijie didn’t have any words to refute as he was hit right on the spot. He could only snort resentfully and ignore her.
Zhou Shijie was not the only one who was envious of Yuan Zhou’s cake. Even Carpenter Lian’s apprentices were envious of it.
“I didn’t expect that not only are you good at cooking, but you are also good at making cakes. Your carpentry is also good.”
“That’s right. I didn’t see senior brother practicing a lot. I just sneaked a glance at senior brother’s gift. It’s really a work of art.”
“This is the first time I’ve eaten senior brother’s cooking. I wonder how good it is.”
Then, following the new apprentice’s words, the topic immediately turned to the Grand and exquisite dishes.
The cold dishes prepared by Yuan Zhou were the sliced chicken, translucent beef slices, mixed with three delicacies and tofu with scallion. They were all home-cooked side dishes. However, just the Phoenix-shaped chicken and the beautiful translucent beef slices were already very high-grade.
“Come, master, eat the longevity noodles first.” Yuan Zhou carried a Big blue and white bowl and walked out.
The birthday banquet was about to officially begin.
Longevity noodles meant longevity. It was usually eaten by the elderly on their birthday, with everyone’s best wishes, hoping that their longevity would be as long as the noodles.
There were also many kinds of noodles. After all, there were many kinds of noodles. China was vast and abundant in resources. The customs of the north and south caused the variety of noodles to be as many as the stars.
The most common ones were dragon beard noodles, knife-cut noodles, belt noodles, and so on.
Of course, Yuan Zhou’s cooking was different but still the same. In the big blue and white porcelain bowl, there was a golden egg and a few green leaves floating. The soup was so clear that the bottom could be seen. The noodles were thin and long in the bowl. Under the contrast of the egg and the green leaves, they were snow-white and delicate.
“Is it the same noodle as last year?” Zhou Shijie took a glance at him with interest. Although he wanted to eat it, he would not fall out with old man Lian on such an occasion.
“Yes, I am.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and handed the noodles to Carpenter Lian with both hands.
“Alright, alright, alright. Little Yuan, quickly take a seat.” Carpenter Lian received the bowl. His usually stiff face had a faint smile on it. He was obviously very happy.
“Thank you, master.” After Yuan Zhou nodded his head, he sat down.
His seat was next to Zhou Shijie. Next to him was Yin ya, and then the other apprentices. At this time, the dishes had been served.
The birthday banquet began.
