It was getting late by the time the sushi was ready, so Wang Yu led everyone to Baiweilou for dinner. There was a private room in the restaurant reserved specifically for Wang Yu, so they just went there directly. As usual, there was cake today, which had already been placed in the private room when they arrived.

After the steward led the guests to the private room and seated them, he asked, "Sir, shall we serve the food now?"

Wang Yu nodded. Rong Jianan and Zheng Shu also came. Wang Yu opened the food box he brought and took out two plates of sushi. He said, "Everyone, try this first."

Ling Chufeng, Meng Yu and the others had already eaten in the kitchen, but Rong Jianan and Zheng Shu had not yet. Zheng Shu first picked up one for Rong Jianan and then picked up one for himself.

After they finished eating, he asked, "How was it?"

Zheng Shu nodded and said it was delicious. Seeing Rong Jianan also nodded, Wang Yu smiled and said, "I plan to spread the method of making seaweed so that more people will know about it. How about calling this thing sushi?"

Although they didn't quite understand the meaning of sushi, they all nodded, thinking that spreading this kind of food would be a good thing.

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, he said, "Dongyi is an island, and its products are not abundant, so I plan to make Dongyi a place suitable for people to visit, so that more people can come here and promote its development."

Wang Yu looked around at them again and said, "Sushi can also be considered a major feature of Dongyi."

Ling Chufeng nodded, "That's a good idea."

Wang Yu: "Well, let Baiweilou do more research on various sushi cooking methods later."

The food came up as soon as he finished speaking, and Wang Yu didn't continue talking. This was just a preliminary idea and needed to be implemented.

It’s Erbao’s birthday, and he received four gifts today. The little guy was so happy looking at the gifts in his hands. His favorite one was a wooden sword with a scabbard given by Meng Yu, which was very finely made. There was also a cake, and his father said he could have two pieces today.

Wang Yu suddenly remembered that Ling Chufeng also gave him a dagger, and wondered if people in the martial arts world all liked to give these things as gifts, which was a bit funny.

Seeing that Erbao really liked the sword, Ling Chufeng said, "When he turns five, I'll teach him martial arts."

Wang Yu never raised Erbao as an ordinary boy. She would not confine him at home to cook and embroider, or trap him in the inner house after he got married. She had discussed these things with Cheng Chen a long time ago.

Cheng Chen always agrees with Wang Yu's decisions. In his opinion, everything her husband does is right. Sometimes Wang Yu is amused and helpless by Cheng Chen's blind trust in her, and tells him that he is not a saint and he will make mistakes too.

Hearing Ling Chufeng's words, he didn't refuse, but simply said, "Okay, once he learns it, he won't be afraid of being bullied by others. I just don't know what his aptitude is."

Ling Chufeng nodded: "It doesn't matter if you have good or bad talent, you can learn some martial arts to protect yourself."

Meng Yu also joined in the fun, "I can teach you too."

Ling Chufeng said ruthlessly: "Your martial arts style is not suitable for him, and I am enough for him."

Meng Yu glared at him.

Wang Yu watched the interaction between the two and thought of what Cheng Chen said at noon when Meng Yu liked Ling Chufeng. Is this love?

After dinner, they went back home very late. Erbao was still holding the wooden sword and didn't want to go to bed. It was only when Wang Yu coaxed him and told him to ask Aunt Meng to play with him tomorrow that he went to bed.

Wang Yu looked at the sleeping Erbao and smiled: "This brat is quite stubborn."

Cheng Chen also found it funny, so he tucked the quilt in for him, and then they went back to their own bedroom. Dabao started sleeping in a separate bed gradually in the second half of last year, but it was still in their room. The room was very big, so they put a bed for him on the right side. When he grew up a little bit, he would sleep in a separate room.

Since Ling Chufeng and the others were going to stay here for a few more days, Wang Yu went to the government office early in the morning to arrange things, and then took them out for a walk. They had already seen the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dongyi last year, and this time he only took them to see the city.

Ling Chufeng walked down the street and said, "It's much more lively here."

"Yeah." Wang Yu nodded.

"I've replanned the city, dividing it into four main streets from east to west and northwest. These streets radiate outwards from the government office. As more and more people come here, it will only become more lively."

Ling Chufeng walked slowly. Just by looking at the smiles on the people's faces, he knew that Wang Yu managed this place very well. This barren island would become better and better because of him.

A shop was opening today on West Street in the city. Wang Yu and his companions happened to arrive just as they were setting off firecrackers. It was a restaurant, and it was as big as Baiweilou on East Street.

The area was crowded with people, and then the owner of the restaurant said, "We are opening today, and all dishes are half price. Thank you for your support."

Then he scattered a handful of copper coins, which attracted the surrounding people to scramble for them. It was very lively. Wang Yu and his friends were not standing very close, but for some reason a copper coin rolled to his feet. Just as he was about to bend down to pick it up, he saw a white and tender little hand that was one step ahead of him.

"Daddy, money." Erbao happily said to Wang Yu while holding up the copper coin he had just picked up.

Wang Yu patted his head and said, "Erbao is really amazing."

Then he suggested to everyone, "How about we go eat something later?"

Several people nodded.

While waiting for the crowd to disperse, the shopkeeper at the door was welcoming customers. Wang Yu and his friends followed the crowd in. Because the dishes were half price for the opening of the new store, many people came to try them, and the lobby was soon full of people.

Wang Yu and his friends asked for a private room and waited for the waiter to come with the menu. Only then did they realize that this was a restaurant serving Jiangnan cuisine. Having eaten a lot of Jiangnan cuisine in Dingzhou before, they didn't know whether the food here was authentic.

Fresh dishes, soups and dim sum are all specialties of Jiangnan cuisine. The most eye-catching dish is a dish of golden minced meat and jade sashimi. The jade sashimi in Jiangnan cuisine is originally made of sea bass sashimi, but here it is made of sea fish. Wang Yu picked up the dipping sauce and took a bite. It tasted very good.

"The fish sashimi here is delicious, you should all try it."

In fact, local people in Dongyi also eat sashimi, but the sashimi dipping sauce in this restaurant tastes very good, and everyone had a good experience of this meal.

Erbao doesn't eat raw fish, but he likes soups, dishes and snacks and has eaten a lot of them. Cheng Chen didn't like sashimi at first, but after trying it a few times with Wang Yu, he gradually liked it and now eats it without any resistance.

Ling Chufeng and Meng Yu accepted it well. They had experienced everything in the martial arts world.

After finishing the meal, Meng Yu said, "It tastes good. This restaurant seems to be in Dingzhou as well. I've seen it before when I was in Dingzhou and have some impression of it."

Wang Yu also nodded. He had been an official in Dingzhou for two or three years, so he knew that this restaurant was indeed in Dingzhou. When he took office in Dingzhou, he took Cheng Chen there to eat.
