Chapter 2143 Differential Treatment
When Yin Ya saw Yuan Zhou insisting, she nodded meekly and followed Yuan Zhou's strength and walked forward.
Even the carpenter's birthday party has always been held in his shop. The advantage is that the place is spacious, there are tables and chairs to support it at any time, and there is a kitchen with everything you need. All you need to do is clean up a clean place and decorate it.
Before he even got close to the place, he heard Carpenter Lian's familiar and energetic voice.
"Don't think that today is my birthday and you can get away with this damn chair you made. What's the point of a chair?"
"After studying for so long, you have such a design here. What, haven't you studied ergonomics? Just pursue the good-looking shape, forget about the person sitting on the chair, and sacrifice comfort?!"
Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya were not surprised and walked in directly. They saw Lian Carpenter standing in front of an apprentice, frothing at the mouth.
The figure that was originally not tall suddenly grew much taller.
"I wish you a happy birthday, master. May this day come to you every year." Yuan Zhou handed a wooden box he took out from the package to Carpenter Lian with both hands.
"Xiao Yuan is here, and Xiaoya is here, come in, come in." Lian Carpenter's face changed instantly, and he said to Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya very gently.
"Master, I wish you a happy birthday. Your craftsmanship will become more and more exquisite, and you will be full of talents all over the world." Yin Ya said with a smile on her face.
"Xiaoya still knows how to talk, come in quickly." Even the carpenter looked gentle towards Yin Ya.
Taking the word "爱屋jiwu" to the extreme.
The person being scolded over there was Carpenter Lian's young apprentice Yang Wei. Although he had seen Carpenter Lian's attitude towards Yuan Zhou too many times, he still felt surprised every time he saw it, mainly because the difference was so big.
"When you see your senior brother and sister-in-law coming, you don't even know how to say hello. Is this what I taught you?" Lian Carpenter turned to Yang Wei and glared at her.
"Hello, senior brother, hello, senior sister-in-law." Yang Wei was used to it and immediately turned to say hello to Yuan Zhou and the others.
"Hello, junior brother." After Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya returned the greeting, they followed Lian Carpenter inside.
Yin Ya handed a bag she had been carrying to Lian Carpenter and said, "Master, this is a specially made gown. Can you please check it out and see if it fits?" This was a birthday gift she had prepared.
Originally, Yuan Zhou felt that one portion was enough for the two of them as a family, but Yin Ya felt that they were not married yet and could not be counted as such, so she still prepared one portion.
"Xiaoya is so considerate. What you gave her must be good." Lian Carpenter was happy, and his face showed a little bit of emotion. It was no longer a rigid expression, which was very different from his usual expression.
"Xiao Yuan, didn't Ma Xiao tell me not to let you cook? Why did he bring so many things? Did he not tell you?" After saying this, Lian Carpenter wanted to settle the score with Ma Xiao.
Ma Xiao was so busy that he didn't know that a pot almost fell from the sky.
"No, master, I want to cook you a meal. You won't reject my request, right?" Yuan Zhou said.
"You're such a brat, so your carpentry skills haven't fallen behind recently, right?" Lian Carpenter knew Yuan Zhou's intentions and returned to business.
Seeing the two people talking about business, Yin Ya hurriedly turned away and went to the venue to see if there was anything she needed help with.
Today is a good day of the year after all, so Lian Carpenter didn't ask any questions. After a few words, he let Yuan Zhou go and let him go about his business. He grabbed Yang Wei who was passing by and started a new round of Lion Roar Kung Fu practice.
The birthday banquet was not a big event, it was just a meal with friends, so Yuanzhou only prepared four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, and a soup at the end for each table.
Considering that there are always diners with big appetites every time they come to the restaurant, the portion of each dish in Yuanzhou can basically be regarded as two dishes.
This should be enough to eat.
Of course, birthday theme cakes and longevity noodles are definitely indispensable.
Since successfully making the cake house, Yuan Zhou has become proficient in making cakes, and his skills are getting better and better.
There are three layers of cake, with decreasing layers. There is a circle of lifelike longevity peaches around the periphery of each layer. There is also a big peach lying on the top, and there are branches of peach trees on the sides. It seems that those peaches all grow on peach trees. Same.
When the cake was brought to the main table, everyone was amazed by the exquisite and gorgeous cake.
Different from last year's birthday cake, this year's birthday peach cake is more exquisite and makes people want to eat some.
"Xiao Yuan, this kid can only eat the sweets he makes at this time of year. It's so cheap for you, old man." Zhou Shijie was simply envious and jealous of Lian Carpenter's luck in getting Yuan Zhou as his apprentice.
"Oh, my apprentice, if you don't do it for me, why don't you do it for you? It's as beautiful as yours." Lian Carpenter glanced sideways at Zhou Shijie. If it wasn't the right time, he would definitely have to roll up his sleeves.
Zhou Shijie was hit hard all of a sudden and had no words to refute. He could only snort and ignore it.
Not only was Zhou Shijie envying the cake made by Yuan Zhou, but even the carpenter's apprentices were very envious.
"I didn't expect that senior brother not only cooks well, but also makes cakes so well. He is also good at carpentry."
"Yes, I didn't notice that senior brother usually practices a lot. I just took a sneak peek at the gift that senior brother gave me. It's really a work of art."
"This is my first time eating the food cooked by my senior brother. I wonder how delicious it is?"
Then following the new apprentice's words, the conversation immediately turned to those elegantly presented dishes.
For cold dishes, Yuanzhou prepared plain-cut chicken, Dengying beef, and tofu mixed with three delicacies and spring onions. They were all homemade side dishes, but the chicken arranged in the shape of a phoenix and the beautiful Dengying beef were very high-end. .
"Come, master, let's eat longevity noodles first." Yuan Zhou came out holding a large blue and white bowl.
The birthday banquet is about to officially begin.
Longevity noodles mean longevity, and are usually eaten by the elderly when they pass their birthdays. It expresses everyone's best wishes, hoping that their life will be as long as their noodles.
There are also many types. After all, there are many types of noodles. China is a vast land with abundant resources, and the custom of south rice and north rice has resulted in as many types of noodles as stars.
The most common ones are dragon beard noodles, knife noodles or trousers noodles, etc.
Of course, Yuan Zhou’s cooking is different from others but also the same. In the big blue and white bowl, there is a golden fried egg and a few green leaves. The soup is crystal clear and the noodles are thin. The long plate is in the bowl, and it is white and delicate against the background of eggs and green leaves.
"Still the same noodle as last year?" Zhou Shijie glanced at it with interest. Although he wanted to eat it, he still wouldn't fall out with Old Man Lian on this occasion.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded and handed the face to Lian Carpenter with both hands.
"Okay, okay, little Yuan, please sit down quickly." Lian Carpenter took the bowl, with an obscure smile on his usually rigid face, obviously very happy.
"Thank you, master." Yuan Zhou nodded and sat down beside him.
His position was next to Zhou Shijie, next to him was Yin Ya, and then the other apprentices. At this time, the dishes were all served.
The birthday party has begun.
