This time, the few people didn't waste any more time, quickly found a store and signed the contract.
We agreed to come and hand over the house on today next month.
The shop I'm looking at is a three-story structure. Just like the fish restaurant, the first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are mostly private rooms.
It's just that Lin Nan took a look at the hidden compartment on the third floor. He could make a study for her, so she wouldn't have nothing when she came over.
The area is quite a bit larger, basically twice the size of the fish house, but Xiwang City has more permanent residents than Qinghe Town, and it is adjacent to the sea, with more businessmen coming and going.
It is still not far from the dock, and the supply of raw materials is more convenient than in Qinghe Town.
After making the appointment, it was already noon. If we rushed back to Qinghe Town now, we might not be able to return to Qingxi Lane until midnight.
A few people found a new inn that looked more formal and stayed.
I am also a lot more careful about what I eat.
However, the clothes they bought today were of average quality and did not attract much attention from others.
A few people were sitting by the window waiting for the food to be served at the inn, while guests at the table next to them were talking mysteriously.
It just so happened that Bai Yi and Bai Yin had very good hearing, so he basically listened to the whole conversation.
It turns out that the incident at Laifu Inn has been spread everywhere.
I heard from these people that there was a fight at Laifu Inn last night, and there were corpses everywhere. Blood seeped through the floor from the second floor and dripped to the first floor.
The Yamen had gone to see it today, but they didn't expect that the ones who died were a group of robbers who had recently become famous in Xiwang City.
It was also found out that Fu Inn and these bandits were the same group.
At first, everyone felt sorry for the Laifu Inn, but when they heard that it was a group of people, they were so angry that they wanted to throw rotten eggs and smelly socks at the inn.
Laifu Inn also closed its doors.
Bai Yin's dialogue was conveyed to Lin Nan word for word, and even his facial expressions were very similar.
Even the face of the person chatting is prouder.
Lin Nan burst out laughing. He didn't expect that Xiwangcheng could be harmed last night. It seemed that a sleepless night was worth it.
After eating, the few people took the time to rest, and they would start their journey again early tomorrow morning. Although the journey was not far, it did not require any effort.
A sleepless night.
Everyone slept well that night, and their spirits improved a lot in the morning.
Several people set off on the road back to Qinghe Town together.
Along the way, we enjoyed the scenery and chatted. It felt like it didn't take long before we arrived at the border of Qinghe Town.
After entering the city, we went straight to Qingxi Lane.
Tomorrow is Yan Wenzhi's birthday, which is why Lin Nanyi must rush back tonight.
For her, birthdays are the most important days of the year, so why was Lin Nanyi absent from Yan Wenzhi's birthday?
Let Liangzi rush back to Zhuangzi overnight and bring back some fish.
Early the next morning, Lin Nanyi began to buy things intensively.
Liangzi sent Yan Wenzhi to the academy early and then came back to work on it. Everyone knew it was his birthday, but everyone deliberately forgot and avoided it.
Even Yan Wenzhi himself had forgotten it.
We have a birthday today, so we naturally have to cook more dishes.
Lin Nanyi prepared several hard dishes.
A birthday cake was specially prepared for him.
There is no cream here, so I can only use egg whites to beat the cream with my bare hands. I beat it all morning, and my arms were so useless that I finally beat enough cream.
Fortunately, Lin Nan was so greedy that she made a small baking room by herself some time ago.
The small baking room is not high, with a total of two floors. The total height is only half as high as Lin Nan. The upper floor is shaped like a semicircle, and the lower floor is a place for placing firewood.
First mix the required dough, and then heat the oven with firewood.
After the dough has fermented, take out the unburned firewood in the baking room and put the dough in on an iron plate to bake.
If you control the heat well, the baked bread will be golden and crispy.
Lin Nan made four in a row before finally making one that he was satisfied with.
Now that we have the bread and butter, the next step is to make the birthday cake.
But there is no edible coloring here, so Lin Nanyi can only use spinach and other vegetables and fruits that can be squeezed to squeeze out the juice and mix it with the cream.
In the end, I finally made a birthday cake that didn’t look like much.
How can you celebrate your birthday without longevity noodles?
She made a noodle that could fill a whole bowl, and thoughtfully carved the words "Happy Birthday" out of carrots.
After the work was done, it was time for Yan Wen to go to school. Lin Nan picked up the food and tasted it.
He quickly arranged a surprise for him.
Who said that romance can only be created by boys? She can also create surprises for Yan Wenzhi and let him feel what romance in the new era is.
Baiyin went out to buy a lot of flowers and came back, decorating everything from the front door to the front hall beautifully.
Next, it’s time to wait for the male protagonist to enter.
The last soup needs to be made fresh, and Lin Nanyi is still busy in the kitchen.
Here, Yan Wenzhi had already arrived at Qingxi Lane. He got out of the car and climbed up the steps. The first moment he opened the door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
There are flowers of different colors in the courtyard, neatly blooming, and the whole yard is filled with the fragrance of flowers. The order of placement is very particular, and the colors look very comfortable, giving people a relaxed and happy feeling.
Yan Wenzhi didn't know what day it was. When Liangzi came in, he was shocked when he saw it. He didn't expect that the flowers he arranged were so beautiful. It seemed that he had quite a lot of artistic talent.
When Baiyin saw someone coming, he quickly went to the kitchen to report the situation to Lin Nanyi.
"Hey, let's just say he must be fascinated by my romance."
Lin Nan kept moving one hand, and the kitchen knife seemed to be given life in her hand, beating smartly but not cutting her hand.
Lin Nan put the last thing into the pot and poured out the soup while counting the time.
The most important thing is to control the heat. It won’t work if it’s too little, and it won’t work if it’s too much.
Every dish on the dining table in the front hall was covered with dishes. I wonder what kind of tricks Lin Nanyi was playing.
"Wen Zhi, do you remember what day it is today?"
Mrs. Gu walked out of the room wearing new clothes.
Nan Yi said that today is Yan Wenzhi's birthday and her suffering day. She should be the one who deserves the greatest credit today.
She was forced to have a good rest in her room for the whole day and was not allowed to do any work.
She lamented in her heart that if she hadn't met Lin Nanyi, how would their mother and son have the life they have now.
All this is thanks to Nan Yi.
"What day is today?"
Yan Wenzhi thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Naturally, Gu would not say it. Nan Yi had prepared so many surprises. If he had known about it from the beginning, there would have been no surprises at all.
"You'll find out later."
Yan Wenzhi didn't know why, but he always felt a little nervous, but this family came back every day, so he shouldn't be nervous.
He clenched his hands unconsciously and sat waiting for Lin Nanyi.
Lin Nan held a small birthday cake in his hand and made a simple birthday hat.
Bai Yi and Bai Yin followed her, one holding longevity noodles and the other holding soup.
"Dang-dang-dang..." Lin Nan came out of the ear room, singing a happy birthday song loudly.
The atmosphere around me was stirred up. Although I couldn't sing, I could understand it, so everyone started to move to the rhythm.
As soon as Lin Nan walked up to Yan Wenzhi, he put the longevity hat on his head and said, "Happy birthday!"
Only then did Yan Wenzhi realize that today was his birthday.
This is his first birthday after his recovery.
In the past, he never expected to celebrate his birthday. After all, he didn't know whether he would survive until this time in the next year.
Unexpectedly, time passed so quickly and his birthday was coming so soon.
My throat was hoarse and it was difficult to say, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Try the birthday cake I made for you. I've been studying it for a long time today."
"Yes, sir, you don't know that the lady has been whipping cream all morning to make this cake."
Although Baiyin didn't know why the milky stuff was called cream, it looked delicious.
Lin Nanyi celebrated Yan Wenzhi's birthday according to modern birthday celebration procedures.
There was no big fuss, just their family gathered around a table. Although there were few people, Yan Wenzhi was deeply moved.
Lin Nanyi really gave him too many surprises.
Putting the candle aside and lighting it, Yan Wenzhi imitated Lin Nanyi's wish-making gesture, put his hands together on his chest and closed his eyes to make a wish.
May she be happy and healthy throughout her life.
Lin Nan asked him suspiciously, "What wish did you make?"
Yan Wenzhi didn't know how to say it. He just blushed and said, "It won't work if you say it."
She clicked her tongue twice, but she didn't expect it to be quite reasonable.
After making the wish, you can eat the cake. There are no knives and forks here, so there is no dividing of the cake. Each person holds a pair of chopsticks and eats on top of the cake.
Lin Nan took a bite. Fortunately, she put some sugar in the cream, otherwise it would have no taste. Now the cream has a faint sweetness, which is actually more delicious than the cream she has eaten before.
Liangzi and Baiyin ate the most, and they both liked the taste very much.
Lin Nan brought the longevity noodles in front of him, and when he opened the lid, the words "Happy Birthday" were revealed, "Have a try, this is the longevity noodles I made specially. There is only one stick in a bowl. You can't bite it off. Eat it."
With good health, everything will be worry-free.”
Yan Wenzhi's eyes were slightly hot, he said hello and began to eat noodles.
He didn't dare to look up, fearing that the tears he was holding back in his eyes would fall uncontrollably when he saw Lin Nan.
There were many chattering sounds around him, but Yan Wenzhi could clearly hear Lin Nanyi talking to other people.
The voice was soft, and it sounded very happy, and she also shared how to make the dish.
As enthusiastic as ever.
There was a big bowl of longevity noodles, and Yan Wenzhi ate it all in a daze. She said that eating noodles would make you healthy and worry-free. He believed everything she said, so he ate it all.
.
After dinner, the birthday ceremony is officially over.
Lin Nan gave him a gift he bought at last minute.
It was a set of calligraphy that she had chosen. She didn't know how to read it, so she chose the most expensive one possible.
Anything expensive is a good thing.
If Yan Wenzhi knew about it, he would definitely call her a silly girl, as long as the things she gave were good things.
