Compared with the longevity noodles cooked by Lingjiang using dried noodles, the longevity noodles cooked by Yunmo are much more delicate.

The noodles are hand-rolled into a whole strip, and the noodle soup is beef soup bought from a restaurant. In addition to eggs and vegetables, the noodles are also filled with a few slices of fatty braised beef and sprinkled with chopped green onions.

As soon as the noodles were served on the table, even Ling Jiang couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Eat it. Don't bite the noodles apart. Eat them all in one bite."

Ling Jiang was curious, "Sister-in-law, what's the point of this?"

"There's no particular custom. It's passed down from the older generation that biting off the longevity noodles is equivalent to cutting off one's life span, which is unlucky."

"Oh, then Chuanzi, eat it quickly and finish it in one bite."

Ling Chuan looked at his wife, "Wife, you're going to be late for school."

Yun Mo looked at the clock. There were only a few minutes left before morning self-study. Even if she went out now, she would not be able to make it in time, so she decided not to rush.

"You eat first, I'll call and ask for leave."

Yun Mo took a leave and turned around to see Ling Chuan concentrating on eating longevity noodles. She then turned to discuss with Ling Jiang how to celebrate Ling Chuan's birthday.

"I have classes during the day, so I don't have enough time. Let's do it in the evening. I'll be back early in the afternoon. Brother, do you think we should cook at home or go out for dinner?"

Ling Jiang said cheerfully, "All right, sister-in-law, you decide."

"Then let's go out to eat at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Invite Uncle Zhi and the others. I'll also invite Fangfang and Sister Xia to come over. We'll have just enough space for one table."

"OK!"

After school at noon, Yang Huiying came over as usual to ask Yun Mo and Xie Xia to have lunch together.

In the new semester, Yun Mo changed her deskmate and sat next to Xie Xia.

Yun Mo waved at the two of them and said, "You guys go eat. I have something to go out for."

Seeing the two of them looking at her curiously, Yun Mo had to explain in a low voice: "It's my husband's birthday, I'm going to make him a cake."

Having said that, Yun Mo simply invited the two of them to have dinner at Grand Hyatt in the evening.

The two readily agreed.

"Yun Mo, I'd like to go out with you and buy you a birthday present."

Yun Mo was about to say that there was no need to buy gifts, but Xie Xia also spoke up, "I'll go too. It's not good to go empty-handed for a birthday celebration."

Forget it, just buy it.

Yun Mo chose a relatively famous bakery near the school.

Yun Mo wanted to make her own birthday cake, but the owner of the bakery had concerns and did not agree at first. It was not until Yun Mo expressed her willingness to pay double the price that the owner reluctantly agreed, but he had to watch the whole process from the side, which Yun Mo did not mind.

Yunmo made an orange-shaped birthday cake.

After more than half a year of getting along, she has gotten to know Lingchuan's taste preferences.

She discovered by accident that Lingchuan loves eating oranges.

Last year she bought a few pounds of oranges, but she didn't eat them because they were too sour. She left them there to make jam.

By the time she remembered, Ling Chuan had eaten all the oranges until only one was left.

At first she thought Ling Chuan was worried that the oranges would go bad, but after making various jams, she discovered that Ling Chuan had a particular preference for orange-flavored jam.

In addition to the orange shape of the cake, Yunmo also spread two thick layers of orange-flavored jam on the middle layer of the cake.

When the cake was ready, even the owner of the bakery couldn't help but give Yun Mo a thumbs up, praising her good craftsmanship, and asked her if she was interested in coming to the store to be a chef.

Yun Mo smiled and declined the boss' invitation, then went straight to the Grand Hyatt Hotel with the cake.

"Happy birthday!"

When night came, Ling Chuan was stunned as soon as he stepped into the box.

On the wall opposite the door of the box, the four big words "Happy Birthday" were made up of lace strips, and colorful balloons were scattered around the strips and around the box.

Ling Jiang, who came with them, immediately burst into laughter, "Oh, who decorated it so beautifully, it's like entering a bridal chamber!"

"My sister-in-law is thoughtful."

"Aunt!"

As they were talking, Ling Chunhua's voice suddenly came from behind, and everyone turned around.

Yun Mo walked towards the crowd with a smile on her face, "You are all here. We are late. The teacher mowed the hall for the last class."

Ling Jiang hurriedly said: "It's not too late, we just got here."

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in and sit down. Now that everyone is here, isn't it time to serve the food?"

Zeng Fang's words caused everyone to laugh.

"Yes, yes, let the waiter serve the food first."

Among those present, Deng Zhi had the oldest seniority, so he sat in the main seat. Ling Chuan, the birthday boy, sat on his left, Yun Mo sat next to Ling Chuan, and the others took their seats.

Because it was arranged in advance, the food was served quickly.

There were 12 dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, crab and abalone. They were fresh, delicious and classy. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

After eating and drinking, the waiter cleared away the leftovers and placed the birthday cake that Yun Mo had brought over at noon.

Nowadays, birthday cakes are a rarity for ordinary people, but the cake prepared by Yun Mo was actually a big yellow orange. Even the knowledgeable Zeng Fang was surprised.

"This birthday cake is so pretty, Momo, where did you buy it? I'm going to buy one for my birthday next time, too. I want a strawberry one!"

Yang Huiying explained quickly, "I didn't buy it. Yunmo made it herself. Even the owner of the cake shop praised Yunmo's craftsmanship and wanted to invite her to work as a cake chef in the shop!"

Everyone praised Yunmo for her cleverness, but Lingchuan was the only one who silently covered the cake box.

"Chuanzi, why are you packing up the cake?"

"We just had a full meal, so I guess we can't eat cake right now. Let's ask the waiter to bring some tea and fruits to help us get rid of the greasiness."

"I can eat more. I've saved some space for the cake."

As soon as Ling Chuan finished speaking, Zeng Fang couldn't wait to speak.

After Zeng Fang finished speaking, Ling Jiang also said, "There are so many of us, each person can only get a small piece that is edible."

Even Ling Chunhua, who was always the most well-behaved and sensible, looked at Ling Chuan eagerly.

"Uncle, I want to eat the birthday cake made by my aunt."

Hearing everyone say this, Ling Chuan had no choice but to open the cake again.

Light candles, sing birthday song, make a wish, and cut the cake.

The ceremony was very fulfilling and everyone was very happy and satisfied, except Lingchuan who was unhappy.

While no one was paying attention, Yun Mo pulled the person to the corridor.

She tiptoed and rubbed the man's face with both hands, "What are you doing? You have a sullen face. Who made you unhappy?"

“They ate all the cake.”

The tone was full of aggrievedness, like a child whose candy had been eaten up by others.

Yun Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Just eat it, birthday cakes are meant to be eaten."

"You made the cake especially for me, I don't want to give it to them."

“…”

Yun Mo didn't expect that men have the attribute of protecting food in their bones.

Today is the man's 25th birthday. She doesn't want him to be unhappy, so she coaxes him: "If you like it, I'll make one for you in two days when I'm free."
