Sister Li worked quickly, and soon the seafood feast was served.
Steamed turbot, topped with fresh green scallions.
The steamed lobster was topped with red wine and minced garlic for seasoning.
Ye Ning took the first bite, and it tasted just like it did in her past life—fresh, tender, and delicious.
The others also started clumsily picking up food.
"It's so delicious! I've never had such delicious seafood before!" Sister Li couldn't help but exclaim.
After the apocalypse, the world's industry came to a standstill, and the low temperature affected the meat, making it taste naturally delicious.
Ye Ning couldn't help but think of the seafood feast she had at the hotel when she was reborn. It was a pity that Da Huang and Er Huang weren't there this time. She would have to give them a special meal when she returned to the shelter!
After enjoying a seafood feast, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen prepared to return home the next day.
First of all, they had been out for several days, and Ye Ning was a little worried about Da Huang and Er Huang.
Most importantly, Xiao Jingchen's birthday is coming soon, and Ye Ning wants to go back as soon as possible to prepare.
"Uncle Gao, you must remember what I told you before! All the ice and snow on the ground must be cleared before the New Year."
“Yes, Miss!” Gao Feng nodded respectfully.
After saying goodbye to Sister Li and the others, Ye Ning put her arm around Xiao Jingchen's waist, and with the roar of the snowmobile, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen returned to the shelter.
As usual, I took a shower after returning home and then changed into my pajamas.
"Ah!" Ye Ning stretched comfortably. "It's so nice to be home!"
Da Huang and Er Huang snuggled up to her, acting all cute.
"Alright! Alright! Big Yellow and Little Yellow, stop fooling around. I'll definitely take you out to play next time." Ye Ning comforted Little Yellow by stroking the fur on its neck.
Erhuang comfortably squinted his eyes.
"Oh, right! There's also seafood!" Ye Ning called over Aunt Wang and brought out a box of large squid.
"Wang Ma, add grilled squid to tonight."
"Wow! What a big squid! Okay, Miss, I understand." Wang Ma carried the squid downstairs.
Ye Ning sat on the sofa, pondering how to celebrate Jing Chen's birthday!
A cake is a must, as is a candlelight dinner. What else should we do to decorate?
Jing Chen's birthday is November 17th in the Gregorian calendar, a typical Scorpio man.
Jingchen's birthday is in two days.
Although she had stockpiled a lot of cakes in her space, she planned to make Jingchen's birthday cake herself.
Jingchen likes to eat chestnut cake.
Ye Ning searched for information in the cloud drive while conducting experiments.
First, add granulated sugar to the egg yolks and mix well. Then add corn oil…
Spread the chestnut cream evenly on the cake base.
Then comes piping and decoration.
Ye Ning does know how to make cakes, but she hasn't done it for many years. To make cakes that are both beautiful and delicious, she definitely needs to practice more.
These past two days, even Dahuang and Erhuang's meals have turned into discarded cakes from Ye Ning's experiments; the air smells of cream as they wag their tails.
After countless attempts, a two-layer chestnut cake was finally made.
Ye Ning carefully placed the chestnut cake in the freezer to keep it fresh.
"Great, tomorrow is Jingchen's birthday, and we finally finished making it before his birthday."
November 17th, Xiao Jingchen's birthday finally arrived.
At ten o'clock in the morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone into the room, Ye Ning opened her eyes.
She propped herself up on one side and looked at Xiao Jingchen, who was fast asleep beside her.
Her slightly wavy hair was a bit fluffy because it hadn't been trimmed in a while; her thick, dark eyebrows, her stubborn thin lips, and her raven-feather-like eyelashes were still trembling slightly.
Ye Ning gently kissed Xiao Jingchen's forehead. "Alright, get up! I know you're awake!"
"How did you know!" Xiao Jingchen's eyes gleamed with cunning.
"Your eyelashes have been trembling!" Ye Ning took Xiao Jingchen's slender hand and kissed it deeply.
Happy birthday, Jingchen!
Xiao Jingchen wore a formal suit and bow tie today, looking every bit the elite, like an elegant cheetah exuding a unique charm.
Ye Ning also changed into a classic plaid suit from a certain brand. Her long curly hair was tied into a bun, like a towering mountain peak, adorned with a set of pearl hair clips, like twinkling stars on the mountaintop. She looked intellectual and elegant, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.
The two walked out of the room hand in hand.
"Miss, Young Master Jingchen, you're up!" Wang Ma was cleaning the living room at the time.
Seeing that Xiao Jingchen and the others had gotten up, they hurriedly went to the kitchen to get busy.
The milky white broth was bubbling away in the pot; it had been prepared last night.
Wang Ma and her daughter-in-law busily washed and prepared the vegetables.
Blanch the meat and vegetables, and then put the oil wok on the stove.
There are four essential dishes for the Ye family's birthday celebration: the first is a secret-recipe chicken soup, the second is braised pork, the third is braised carp, and the fourth is four-happiness meatballs.
Finally, there's longevity noodles with a pork bone broth base.
Of these dishes, chicken soup is the most time-consuming. In addition to marinating it in a secret marinade for 24 hours, it also needs to be simmered in an earthenware pot for five hours.
The resulting soup is golden in color and has a rich, smooth taste without being greasy.
As for the other dishes, the key is to make them fresh.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Jingchen's birthday banquet finally began.
The table was laden with dishes, and of course, Ye Ning's homemade cake was also brought out.
As Xiao Jingchen opened the earthenware pot containing chicken soup, his birthday banquet officially began amidst the fragrant steam.
