Gu Qiuyu nodded and said, "If it tastes good, I'll buy one when I go back." She bought a lot of novel things this time. Her mother had never been out of Medical Valley, so she wanted to take some back to show her mother.
"You'll definitely like it," Su Jinyue said with a smile. Gu Qiuyu particularly loved sweets. When she was leaving Qingliang Temple, she saw a stall selling candies at the entrance. After trying some, she immediately bought all the candies there.
Gu Qiuyu swallowed with anticipation, "Fourth sister, today is Master's birthday, should we cook more dishes?" In previous years, when it was her birthday, her mother would not only make her birthday noodles, but also one or two more dishes than usual.
"Of course," Su Jinyue said. She hadn't had the money to buy anything for her master's birthday before, but now that she had the money, she naturally wanted to make more delicious food for her master.
"Then I'll help you." Gu Qiuyu said happily. She was very good at cooking.
"Let's go to the kitchen." Su Jinyue took the cake from Zhan Yihan, took Gu Qiuyu's hand, and walked towards the backyard. She had tasted Gu Qiuyu's cooking before, and it was indeed very good.
"These two kids." Xu Tiansheng shook his head and smiled, looking at Zhan Yihan and Fang Zhihong, "I'll have a couple of drinks with you tonight. I have a bottle of good wine in my collection." He hadn't had a drink for a long time.
"Uncle Xu's collection must be fine wine. I'm going to have a few more drinks tonight," Fang Zhihong said with a smile. He had a pretty good alcohol tolerance. During the New Year's Eve dinner at home, several cousins tried to get him drunk, but ended up getting drunk themselves.
"No, I only have this one bottle of wine. Once I drink it, it's gone." Xu Tiansheng joked.
"Uncle Xu is so reluctant, so we should have a few more drinks." Fang Zhihong looked at Zhan Yihan with a smile, "Zhan Yihan, I heard that soldiers can drink a lot. Do you dare to compete with me tonight?"
"No problem." Zhan Yihan said with a faint smile.
After a busy period, it was already dark.
Su Jinyue and Gu Qiuyu brought the prepared dishes to the table. Everyone sat around the table, eating and chatting in a lively atmosphere.
Su Jinyue stood up, picked up the soda and toasted to Xu Tiansheng, "Master, I wish you a happy life every year." Song Yiren is no longer in this life, and Master has taken the Jiazi Pill, so he will definitely live a hundred years.
"Thank you for your kind words." Xu Tiansheng picked up the wine cup and clinked it with Su Jinyue's before drinking it all in one gulp. Although he had some minor regrets during the Chinese New Year this year, he had a very happy time.
"Uncle Xu, I'd like to toast you too and wish you a happy birthday!" Zhan Yihan stood up and said.
Xu Tiansheng filled his own wine cup and clinked glasses with Zhan Yihan. "I don't ask for anything else now. I just hope that you and Jin Yue can get married and have children soon, so that I can experience the thrill of being a grandfather."
Zhan Yihan turned to look at Su Jinyue, "As long as Jinyue agrees, I will marry you immediately." Of course, he hoped that Jinyue could marry him earlier.
Su Jinyue gave Zhan Yihan a coquettish look. She also wanted to marry Yihan sooner, but they had already agreed with her parents to hold the wedding when she turned twenty-two.
"I also agree that you should get married soon, so that I can drink your wedding wine." Gu Qiuyu said with a smile. This time when she went back, she didn't know if she could come out.
"I agree too. Come on, let's toast! Happy birthday to Uncle Xu! I also hope you can get married soon and have a baby soon." Fang Zhihong raised his glass and said with a smile.
After eating and drinking, Su Jinyue opened the cake and put candles on it.
"Wow! It looks so good, it must be delicious." Gu Qiuyu looked at the cake with a look of wonder. She couldn't bear to eat it because it was so beautiful. She would definitely buy a few more cakes to take back with her when she returned home.
After Zhan Yihan lit the candle, Su Jinyue looked at Xu Tiansheng and said, "Master, close your eyes, make a wish, and then blow out the candle."
Xu Tiansheng smiled and rolled his eyes at Su Jinyue. He stood up, closed his eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candles in one breath. He hoped that Yiren would come back soon and that they could make peace.
Su Jinyue glanced at Xu Tiansheng and sighed inwardly. She feared her master's wish would never be fulfilled. She didn't dare tell him about Song Yiren's death, not wanting to upset him. However, she had already decided to wait for an opportunity to tell him. She knew he would be deeply saddened, but he had to know sooner or later.
He picked up a knife and helped Xu Tiansheng cut a piece of cake, "Master, try this cake, it's delicious." Now the only place where you can buy birthday cakes in Licheng is Friendship Shopping Mall, and the masters who make cakes are all pastry chefs hired from abroad at high salaries.
"I'm here to try this rare thing today." Xu Tiansheng took the cake with a smile.
Su Jinyue smiled and cut a piece for Gu Qiuyu who had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Gu Qiuyu took the cake and immediately scooped a piece into his mouth. "It's delicious, sweet but not greasy. This is the best cake I've ever had."
Fang Zhihong took the cake and took a bite, "It's really delicious." When his grandfather had his birthday last time, his mother also ordered one, but he didn't like sweets very much so he didn't eat it.
"Fourth sister, where did you buy this cake?" Gu Qiuyu swallowed the cake in her mouth and looked at Su Jinyue and asked. It was such a delicious thing, she had to buy a few more pieces.
"At the Friendship Mall, but don't buy too much of this stuff; it spoils quickly," Su Jinyue said with a smile. Unless Gu Qiuyu also has a storage bag like her. Whether it's a storage bag, a storage ring, or a space, time flows very slowly inside. Put a bowl of hot rice in it, and it will retain its original temperature for days.
Gu Qiuyu sighed in disappointment, "Then I can only take one back?"
Su Jinyue curled her lips and smiled, "You can buy it in Heshi too. You can eat it whenever you want."
Gu Qiuyu's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, "But I can't leave the valley casually." Medical Valley has a rule that ordinary disciples can only leave the valley once every three years unless there are special circumstances.
"If you're willing to stay with Master and help, I can help you apply for unrestricted access to the Medical Valley," Su Jinyue said. With Qiuyu accompanying Master, she could rest assured. Qiuyu's medical skills and abilities were excellent, and most importantly, her cheerful personality made Master happy. Of course, this also depended on Qiuyu's own willingness.
Gu Qiuyu was a little tempted. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Can I go back anytime?" She was worried that her mother would miss her.
"Of course, it's your freedom." Su Jinyue curled her lips.
"Then I agree!" Gu Qiuyu nodded. Medical Valley was good, but it was only so big. Here, she could eat a lot of good food and walk around.
