Lunch was indeed as lavish as Xin had prepared.
Braised fish, stewed chicken, shredded pork with garlic sauce, stir-fried greens with garlic, twice-cooked pork, cold beef salad, spicy stir-fried crab, corn with pine nuts, and a plate of cold preserved eggs.
Qin Nan made it for Shen Yan to try. Not everyone can accept the taste of preserved eggs, but seeing Shen Yan's curiosity, he made it for him to try.
Gengchen last came to the human world several hundred years ago, and the changes have been too great. He also needs to adapt to this new era.
Qin Nan was unaware that the cubs had been punished by not being allowed to eat lunch, so she prepared a larger portion of food.
Tengxue sat next to Qin Nan, eating her meal slowly and deliberately, a stark contrast to the five boys standing in a row facing the wall in contemplation.
Bai Hao and Geng Chen also started eating with relish, while E Ning was released and transformed into a five or six-year-old boy, sitting at the table to eat.
Shen Yan looked at the five cubs, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, but not daring to intervene.
Qin Nan sighed softly, "Never mind, don't stand there, go wash your hands and come sit down to eat."
As soon as Qin Nan finished speaking, the five little ones, whose mouths were watering from the aroma of the food, rushed to wash their hands and then obediently found a seat to sit down and eat.
"Yes, your family's food is really delicious!"
Geng Chen grabbed the last piece of chicken and gave it to Shen Yan, then put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
Tao Xiaolu watched helplessly as the meat disappeared, but dared not be angry or speak out. He lowered his head and finished his rice. Just as he looked up, Shen Yan put three untouched slices of beef on his plate and gave them to him. Tao Xiaolu took them without hesitation and ate them in big bites.
After the meal, the little ones were very proactive in cleaning up the mess, not letting Qin Nan and Shen Yan lift a finger.
Qin Nan thought that since she had some free time, she would tidy up the house for Geng Chen and Shen Yan.
In the study on the third floor, Bai Hao obeyed orders and removed two bookshelves, as well as Bi Shen's single bed.
The double bed that Qin Nan ordered arrived that afternoon, so he brought it up for them to use first, and then he would order another bed. They were already sleeping on the floor, so it wouldn't make a difference if they slept for a couple more days.
The desk, paper, pens, and other items in the study were all left behind, and there are still some books to read.
Shen Yan liked it very much and visited the carpenter's shop and the tailor's shop. He had no knowledge of painting, so he only glanced at the art studio.
Having found a place to stay, Qin Nan sent a message to Li You, inquiring about the demolition of the warehouse and the reconstruction of the side rooms.
Tanuki suggested that demolishing it was fine, but the location and size of the new house would need to be modified and adjusted. In addition to building guest rooms, the storage room could also be retained.
Li You didn't give specific details, saying that she would come over in the afternoon to take on-site measurements and draw up a map before discussing anything further.
Since Qin Nan didn't understand, he left everything to Li You, the professional beast, to do. After Li You arrived, they could also discuss the layout of the Qin residence and see if there were any changes needed.
Although Bai Hao didn't give Qin Nan any of his family's wealth, he did give her all his cards, wallets, and other valuables, enough for Qin Nan to squander as she pleased, while Bai Hao continued to make money.
After lunch, the bed Qin Nan ordered arrived first. The workers carried it up and installed it. The bed came with a mattress, and Qin Nan unpacked the four-piece bedding set and changed it with Shen Yan.
Temporary guest rooms will suffice.
Just as Bai Hao and Geng Chen finished their work and were thinking of an excuse to take E Ning out, Li You came over with a tape measure, drawing paper, and other items.
While Qin Nan and Shen Yan were discussing renovation and decoration issues with Li You, the three beasts took the opportunity to leave.
Chi Wei, Tao Xiaolu, and the others stopped playing games and started making a ruckus in the yard, keeping the house quiet and providing cover for Bai Hao and his group.
Fortunately, Li You was very meticulous about the construction and offered many feasible suggestions for Qin Nan's needs. Because Qin Nan was much better than other clients with ideas, Li You trusted him completely and took it very seriously, chatting until it was almost dark.
Qin Nan invited Li You to stay for dinner, then hurriedly took Chi Wei and Qiong Ruiheng to the supermarket to shop.
When they arrived home, Bai Hao and the other two had also returned.
When Qin Nan arrived, he saw E Ning transform back into human form. He was a little surprised, as he hadn't seen them that afternoon and wondered what they had been doing.
Although puzzled, Qin Nan didn't think too much about it. If it was something important, Bai Hao would tell him. If he didn't, it must be a minor matter or something that had nothing to do with him.
Qin Nan did not press the matter further.
After dinner, Li You hurriedly went back, saying that she would draw up the blueprints, import them into the electronic device, and make a 3D preview for Qin Nan to see. The actual construction would start around October 10th.
Because the previous construction team hadn't finished their work, and it was also the National Day holiday, the project had to be postponed.
Shen Yan said there was no rush. He was quite fond of the human world at the moment, and Geng Chen had also agreed to stay longer, so it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer.
So let's wait for Tanuki Yu's renderings to come out and then discuss any opinions we may have.
After finishing her meal and washing up, Qin Nan went to bed early to nourish her pregnancy. Although they shared a bed, she didn't really want to do that every day.
After washing up, Bai Hao entered the room and saw Qin Nan asleep. He remained silent for a long time before getting into bed. He woke Qin Nan up with kisses and nibbles, and only after a satisfying meal did he fall asleep in his arms.
The next day, Qin Nan got up somewhat sleepily to make breakfast.
Bai Hao and Geng Chen, along with E Ning, got up early, ate breakfast, and went out.
Qin Nan didn't care at all; let him do whatever he wanted. Being woken up and bothered at night was really annoying.
After dinner, Qin Nan took Shen Yan to buy a cell phone, and also bought one for Geng Chen and E Ning.
Although Qin Nan didn't know why E Ning had been silent at home, since he was here, he should treat him the same as everyone else.
Back home, Qin Nan patiently taught Shen Yan how to operate his phone and use various software applications, especially chat software, so that they could stay in touch in the future.
When Bai Hao woke up, he told Qin Nan that he had transferred money to Shen Yan as payment for Geng Chen's help.
After Qin Nan transferred the money, she also taught Chen Yan how to shop online, order takeout, hail a taxi, and book hotels.
Although he didn't know that Gengchen was going to take Shenyan on a trip, since he had come to the human world, he would have to go out and explore sooner or later, so there was nothing wrong with learning in advance.
Around noon, Li You sent a preview image, and Bai Hao also messaged to say that he wouldn't be back for lunch and that they didn't need to cook for them.
Qin Nan was puzzled. Bai Hao didn't seem to be going out to deal with ghost matters in the morning, otherwise Geng Chen wouldn't have followed him, and he even brought E Ning with him.
"Nan-ge, what are you thinking about? Shall we cook now? Should we ask Hao-ge and the others if they're coming back for lunch?"
Shen Yan patted Qin Nan on the shoulder.
"It's nothing, they're not coming back for dinner. Xiao Yan, do you know what Geng Chen and Bai Hao are doing outside?"
Shen Yan shook his head. "I don't know. Geng Chen only said it was to help Brother Hao. I don't know the specifics either. Brother Nan, why don't you just ask Brother Hao?"
Qin Nan thought for a moment and sent Bai Hao a message, asking him what he was busy with.
It's okay, it's not important, we'll talk about it later.
Seeing Bai Hao's reply, Qin Nan stopped asking questions.
"Forget about them, let's cook and eat."
"Um, Brother Nan, can I try making a couple of dishes? I've never tried using human ingredients before, but yours looks pretty easy."
"Haha, no problem, you do it. The only difference is the way you handle the ingredients, but the cooking methods are still similar. I'll watch you do it."
"Okay." Shen Yan put on an apron and went into the kitchen eagerly.
