Chapter 150 Birthday
"I should be the one to thank Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye gave me such good tea to sell to expand the reputation of the department store. Thank you Mr. Ye for your trust in Miaomiao." Xu Miaomiao bowed and looked at the man and said.
Ye Zhijin also smiled slightly: "Madam Xu will have an auction in three days, held at Ye's Villa." As he spoke, the man took out an invitation from his pocket: "I heard that Madam Xu was coming, so I brought the invitation with me early, and I wanted to give it to you."
Three days later? Xu Miaomiao thought about it. The day after tomorrow was Erbao and Xiaobao's birthday, so she certainly couldn't miss them. The auction happened to be on a different date, so it wouldn't hurt to go. She then reached out to take the invitation: "Since Mr. Ye appreciates it so much, Miaomiao will definitely come."
After exchanging polite words with the man, they parted ways.
The banquet was no different from usual. As they waited for Mr. Bai to arrive, everyone began to eat and chat. Originally, no one except Ye Zhijin was willing to talk to Xu Miaomiao, but with the addition of the little girl Niuniu, she kept pestering Xu Miaomiao and wouldn't let go.
"Sister Xu, when can Niu Niu start studying with you?" the little girl asked, blinking her big eyes.
Ever since the kidnapping, Mr. Bai has been worried about Niu Niu studying with Xu Miaomiao in the store, so he asked someone to bring her back. Every time she goes out, there is a group of people following her, making it very lively.
Xu Miaomiao could only touch the little girl's head comfortingly and said, "You are still too young. When you are older, I will teach you. Your father will feel more at ease."
"That girl has to grow up quickly." said the little girl.
Xu Miaomiao was amused by her naughty appearance and smiled without saying a word.
"Madam Xu."
A man's voice suddenly rang out. Although the banquet was noisy, this voice should not be underestimated: "Mr. Bai?"
Bai Tong raised a glass of wine in his hand and toasted to Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu, for a woman to run such a good store, I believe it must have taken a lot of effort. I salute you."
He picked up the quilt and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing the man finish drinking, Xu Miaomiao did not hesitate and drank the teacup in her hand. Since she came here in a carriage and could not drink alcohol, she could only drink water instead.
After being polite with Xu Miaomiao, Bai Tong started the next round of the battle, but the difference was that others were toasting him with glasses of wine.
Xu Miaomiao's trip this time expanded the reputation of the department store, and she also negotiated a contract with Ye's Tea House and received an invitation letter. No matter how you look at it, it was not a loss for her.
"Sister Xu, are you leaving?"
Xu Miaomiao, who was about to run away, saw the corner of her clothes being grabbed by the child and was at a loss. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Yeah, it's getting late. I should go home too."
She had been here for quite a while, and many people at the table had already left one after another. She stood up only after seeing some people leaving, but she didn't expect to be caught by Niu Niu.
The little girl pouted and looked at Xu Miaomiao aggrievedly, the mist in her eyes almost overflowing: "I don't want you to leave."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the little girl's distressed look and said, "If you miss me, you can come to me anytime. Sister Xu will make delicious food for you every day, okay?"
Niu Niu nodded vigorously, and finally said goodbye to Xu Miaomiao reluctantly.
After Xu Miaomiao came out of Bai Mansion, she did not rush home, but went to the market first.
The silk shop was well taken care of by Manager Wan, so she hardly needed to worry about anything. However, as a shareholder, Xu Miaomiao would still visit occasionally.
"Don't worry, Madam Xu. Everything is fine recently."
"Um."
After taking a look around and seeing nothing unusual, Xu Miaomiao left. The day after tomorrow was Erbao and Xiaobao's birthday, so she still had to prepare some things.
When she arrived at the vegetable market, Xu Miaomiao took away all the materials she needed and found a carpentry workshop.
"Madam, is there anything you need?" the man looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked.
Xu Miaomiao nodded, imagined the appearance of the mandarin duck pot in her memory, drew a blueprint, and handed it to the man: "I want a pot like this."
After receiving the blueprint, the man exclaimed in surprise: "What kind of pot is this? I've never seen it before."
Xu Miaomiao explained: "This is the pot I imagined. It is separated by a partition in the middle. Can I make it?"
The man took the blueprint and examined it for a while, then nodded: "No problem, just come and get it tomorrow."
After getting the answer, Xu Miaomiao packed up her things and prepared to go home.
That’s right, she just wanted to make hotpot for Erbao and Xiaobao on their birthdays. Thinking of the red oil base of the pot, Xu Miaomiao couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.
After cleaning the pot, only the base sauce was left. Fortunately, she liked it before, so there were still a lot of portable red oil base sauce in the space.
Although there is hot pot to eat, birthday cake is also indispensable.
In order to avoid being discovered by Erbao and Xiaobao, Xu Miaomiao went to the kitchen to make the cake at dawn.
Because of the experience from last time, this time it was relatively easy. I used the dough to knead the shapes of two children, a boy and a girl, and then used the edible pigments in the space to color the children. The two children who looked like Erbao and Sanbao were done.
After preparing breakfast for everyone, Xu Miaomiao went to the kitchen under the pretext of washing dishes to prepare hot pot.
Gu Yuanniang understood what she had guessed, so she naturally didn't ask any questions.
(Did mother forget?)
Xiaobao spoke to his lost sister in front of him using sign language.
"Nonsense." Erbao looked a little disappointed, but he still spoke firmly: "How could mother forget our birthday? She must have been a little busy these days."
Although he comforted himself in this way, Erbao still felt a little lost.
"Happy birthday to you."
"Happy birthday to you."
Xu Miaomiao sang a song and walked slowly over with a cake in her hand.
The magic on the cake danced slowly, and the cheeks of the two little men flickered.
"Mom." Erbao called out softly.
Xu Miaomiao put the cake away, then brought out the hot pot she had made, placed the pot on top, placed the charcoal underneath, and the steaming work was done.
"Mom, what is this?" Erbao asked, tilting his head.
"This is hot pot." Xu Miaomiao explained.
After rinsing the tripe up and down for a few seconds, it was done. Xu Miaomiao picked up a piece and put it into the mouths of Erbao and Xiaobao.
The two children can't eat spicy food, so she ordered clear soup.
“It’s delicious.”
Erbao's eyes lit up and he looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
“Good, good, delicious…”
Intermittent sounds rang out in the air, and Xu Miaomiao looked at Xiaobao in disbelief.
