"Xiao Ding, bring some scallops!" Ye Ning greeted, while stirring the vegetables in the pot.At this time, the central square of Lancheng was in full swing, everyone was in a hurry, but there was an unstoppable smile on their faces.

Lancheng is the official name of the residence, and none of them are particularly good at picking names, but Ye Ning saw that there are mountains and rivers here, and there is often fog in the morning, so he chose this word.In terms of attainments in the Chinese language, I am afraid that Ye Ning is still the highest.The others found it pleasing to their ears and agreed.

From ten o'clock in the morning, the players in the gang have been online one after another. According to what Ye Ning and the others discussed, they finally decided to hold this celebration in the form of a buffet.

However, after the city defense battle, Yucheng will be opened to the outside world immediately, not to mention the unfinished infrastructure, only the city walls, roads and a small number of houses destroyed in the city defense battle this time need to be repaired.The number of NPCs invited is limited, and they are all masons. Like the bricks and stones piled up on the city wall, and the destroyed flowers and plants, they will not help to clean up, all of which need to be done by the players themselves.

Qingcheng and Huhu led a pair of people out of the city. One was to patrol the surrounding area, and the other was to bring back some food for the celebration banquet.Qingshan directs the life players in construction, gardens, etc. to count the damage of the resident, and to do preliminary investigations for the next step of continued construction.Xiao Yu took some statistical data of the city defense battle for analysis.At the celebration dinner in the evening, they will honor some outstanding individuals.Corresponding rewards will also be given to all players after the meeting.These need to be calculated in advance.

And Ye Ning led the players who had learned cooking to prepare a big meal.There was a lot of food to be prepared, and there were a lot of people to help. The resident kitchen was definitely not enough. Ye Ning simply ordered the production site to be moved to the central square.The aroma of food quickly permeated the entire central square, and the combat players who helped fight did not know how much they secretly swallowed.

Ye Ning cooks dishes that he has cooked before, and he doesn't need to think much about cooking them now.Moreover, since his culinary skills have been upgraded to the master level, cooking has become a very simple thing. Not only does the amount of each cooking increase greatly, but the whole action of cooking is more like flowing water, very smooth and natural. The usual situation of sore arms and tired body has never happened again.The little apprentice even watched him cooking several times and was dumbfounded. When he asked him what was so interesting, he couldn't tell why. He only said that the master cooked the dishes with a special sense of rhythm.

Because of Ye Ning's special attributes, less than half of the dishes at today's celebration banquet were cooked by him and his little apprentice.Of course, snacks and drinks like Buttercup and the others are also essential.Ye Ning even took out the pear wine he made before.

As night fell, all the people who had gone out had returned, and Ye Ning and the others were ready.Players from the entire guild continued to gather in the central square.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Qing Shan walked up to the high platform and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!" The deputy gang leader spoke, and the noisy crowd just now gradually quieted down.Qingshan nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Everyone has worked hard this month! However, all the hard work is worth it! Our Lancheng has finally been successfully established!" The crowd burst into cheers, Ye Ning also I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and looked at the companions beside me, they all looked very excited at this moment.

"Next, our leader will tell you a few words!" After speaking, Qing Shan stepped aside and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu let go of Ye Ning's hand and walked onto the high stage. The gang members in the audience applauded when they saw the gang leader coming to the stage.Xiao Yu waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began to say: "Land City was built by all of us bit by bit. Here, I would like to say thank you for your hard work! However, the establishment of Lan City is just the beginning. Building Lancheng into a bustling city that is not inferior to the main city of the system! This still requires the joint efforts of everyone!" The audience burst into warm applause again, Xiao Yu paused for a while, and when everyone calmed down, he continued: "Today The celebration banquet is to reward everyone for their hard work for so long, and everyone can eat and drink as much as they want! Regarding the rewards for this city defense battle, the green shirts of the deputy gang leader will be distributed to each battalion commander, and then distributed to everyone. However, today, we Some people should be rewarded in particular. Qingshan, you can announce it.” The gang members didn’t expect that there would be rewards at today’s celebration banquet, and immediately started discussing in a low voice. To the deputy gang leader.

Not to mention that the rewards in the gang have always been generous, even this special honor presented in front of thousands of companions can make many people's heartbeat.At this moment, the hearts of those who think they have done their best during this period of time are burning hot, maybe they are on the list of praise?And those gang members who are not doing their best are annoyed in their hearts, and they would have worked harder if they had known.However, there are still many opportunities in the future after listening to the leader's wishes, and we must work harder in the future.

The green shirt on the stage didn't know the mental activities of these people, and after hearing Xiao Yu's words, he read the list according to the previous preparation.First of all, there are war-type players who are outstanding in defending the city.Turan and Diana are all on the list.There are a total of [-] combat players who have been commended.The rewarded items are weapons, equipment, etc., and the quality is all at the spirit level.

Then there are some players in the life department, Ning Xiang, Didi, and Mu Sen are all people Ye Ning is familiar with.These life players have to make a lot of items every day for the establishment and defense of Lancheng.Even Didi, for the planning of Lancheng, also kept running around in the resident all day long.The rewards for living players are all life-related equipment or materials, which are also at the level of spiritual weapons, and they can choose the specific ones independently.

In order to avoid criticism, Ye Ning and other core leaders did not participate in this evaluation, even Turan, because he is not yet a core leader, and this time he performed very outstandingly, successfully completing the command of the north gate defense The task is put on the evaluation list.Xiao Yu Qingshan is a cautious person. In order to highlight the fairness and justice of this selection, Qingshan made a detailed list, clearly explaining what these commended people have done, and then exchanged The corresponding contribution value is placed on the guild's announcement.The members of the gang saw that the contributions of these people were second only to the core leaders of the gang leader, and they were convinced.And those life players are even more excited.Some of them have been in other teams before, but few teams treat life players and combat players equally, and many people take their contributions for granted.Seeing the same number of life players being commended today, even if they are not themselves, there is a sense of satisfaction in my heart.

After the commendation started, it finally entered the highlight of the night, which was to eat a big meal!

Hundreds of tables were set up in several arcs in the central square, and the players who were about to serve the dishes received instructions from the deputy gang leader to eat and drink as much as they wanted, then took the dishes out of their packages and placed them on the tables one by one.

Hu Qingcheng and the girls had already made some preparations for the celebration banquet. Seeing that the food was still being served, they exchanged winks and slipped out.

A moment later, sparks suddenly burst into the sky from the walls on all sides, and then there was a loud noise, and thousands of bright flowers bloomed in the sky instantly.I don't know how much these people spent. At this time, fireworks were set off in the directions of the four city gates, and the entire resident was actually created with a scene of fire, trees, silver flowers, and night.

The sudden fireworks crashed into everyone's heart, and the atmosphere was suddenly pushed to a climax. The delicious food on the table made people's index fingers move, and some people could get surprises from time to time—there were already several cooks in the gang A chef whose skills have been upgraded to an advanced level will have a lot of food today, and there will always be some special food.The people don't stay in one place, the tables are full of food, and there are people who are constantly refilling the empty plates.No matter what taste you have, you can always find something satisfying among the many foods.

Ye Ning was holding the plate, picking up the ones he was interested in and putting them on the plate, Xiao Yu followed him step by step. At this time, everyone gathered together in small groups to have fun, so they didn't notice the small movements of the two gang leaders.Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Ning couldn't help but think of the night when the party was held in Xiao Zhai. At that time, there were not so many people, and the venue was not so big. Everyone was not very familiar with each other, but the joyful atmosphere, But almost.It was also that night that Xiao Yu confessed to him, and the two walked together.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Ning's mouth unconsciously raised a little.Seeing him standing there in a daze, Xiao Yu raised his hands in the air, and couldn't help being a little amused.Putting the emerald melon that Ye Ning liked on his plate, the person who didn't know where his mind wandered finally came back to his senses.

"What do you think?"

"It was so lively in Xiao's house that day."

With no beginning and no end, Xiao Yu strangely knew what Ye Ning was thinking.Putting down the plate in his hand, Xiao Yu held Ye Ning's hand and said, "Shall I go see my uncle and aunt tomorrow?"

"Ah? Could it be that you are too anxious? Besides, there are still many things to do at the station?" Ye Ning, who had already made countless mental preparations, was still a little flustered when he heard Xiao Yu's decision, and subconsciously rejected it. .Parents don't know that his son found a boyfriend in the game!What's more, this boyfriend's background is very unusual!

"It's okay, just let Qingshan watch. You are not nervous, are you? I am going to see your parents, why are you more nervous than me?" Xiao Yu deliberately teased Ye Ning.

"Well, I haven't told my parents that you are my boyfriend. I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it for a while."

"There are a lot of same-sex couples in the Federation. If you are worried about my identity, there is no need at all. My grandfather's status belongs to them. I am only the leader of 'Blade' now, and you are the deputy leader." Xiao Yu knew that Ye Ning had always been a little uneasy, but Ye Ning had always been very optimistic, so he didn't care too much. He didn't expect Ye Ning's uneasiness to be so serious.

"That's what I said, but my parents are ordinary people after all, I'm still worried that they won't be able to accept it for a while." Ye Ning didn't want to disappoint Xiao Yu's kindness, but if Xiao Yu came to the door just like this, it would be a big deal. With the sentence "This is my boyfriend", Ye Ning was afraid that his parents would go to the hospital again.

"How about this, don't tell your parents about our relationship, just say that we are good friends and companions in the game. Let your parents know after we get used to it. Maybe they will see it slowly? "Xiao Yu didn't want to see Ye Ning in trouble at all, so she took a step back after thinking about it.

Ye Ning thought about it and agreed.Since he and Xiao Yu are together, he has to bear the corresponding pressure for this, and the acceptance and blessing of his parents are also what he must get.

117. End of text...

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Ning did not play the game for the first time. Seeing his son's absent-minded appearance, Ye Ning and his mother glanced at each other, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xiao Ning, why didn't you play the game today?" Ah? Is there something wrong? If you have something to do, go out and do it, your dad and I are fine at home. "

"Well, Mom, Dad, I have a friend coming over later, the one who helped introduce Dr. Jin last time, don't be nervous, just treat it normally." Ye Ning slumped onto the sofa , said to the second elder seriously.

"Really? Oh, we have to thank him very much, this time thanks to him. Why don't you keep him at home for a meal? Xiao Ning, you should prepare well, buy more food, and don't be reluctant to spend money." Ye As soon as the mother heard that the friend who helped was coming, she put aside her curiosity about Ye Ning's abnormal behavior in an instant, and ordered her son instead.Since he was discharged from the hospital, his son often made some food, which was better than those made by the so-called chefs she had eaten before. Mother Ye, who loved her son more and more, thought of such a way of entertaining her son, which showed that her family People's will, but also can highlight the son's strengths.

Father Ye was also surprised when he heard the news, but he was not as simple as his wife thought. What do you mean by "don't be nervous, treat him normally"?His son, he knew, would not say this sentence for no reason. "Xiao Ning, what exactly does your friend do? Knowing Dr. Jin, you must be pretty good, right?"

"He is mainly operating in the game now, and the Federation also has some industries." Ye Ning thought for a while, and decided to make it clear first, "Well, he is from the Xiao family."

"The Xiao family? Which Xiao family?" Mother Ye didn't react for a while, but Father Ye's eyes widened. Seeing her husband's surprised expression, Mother Ye had a flash of inspiration, "The Xiao family?! Could it be the Xiao family? ?!"

"Yes, that's the Xiao family." Seeing that his parents had reacted, Ye Ning bit the bullet and continued, "My friend's name is Xiao Yu, and he is the second grandson of General Xiao. He is a very good person. Don't be nervous when you see him." Just as he was talking, Ye Ning's communication rang, and when he looked down, it was Xiao Yu. "He's here, I'll go down and pick him up."

Leaving his parents to react slowly, Yeoning walked out of the house quickly.

Xiao Yu came alone. When Ye Ning walked outside the residential building where he lived, he saw a black hover car parked quietly by the side of the road.The suspension car is a relatively high-end model in the Federation, but it is not eye-catching.The area where Ye Ning lives belongs to the area where middle-income earners live. Occasionally, this kind of suspension car will pass by on the street.

The people in the car seemed to have seen him too, the door opened quietly, and a tall man got out of the car carrying two bags.

The man was tall and tall, wearing a pair of sunglasses, but Ye Ning recognized Xiao Yu at a glance.Stepping forward quickly, the man also strode forward.

The two approached, and the man took off his sunglasses, revealing those radiant eyes.

"A-Ning." The man called out in a low voice. Ye Ning's heart beat violently, and he responded in a low voice. Looking at the man's face with anticipation, Ye Ning moved his lips, and finally called out "Ayu". .

The person in front of me is exactly the same as in the game, except that he wears different clothes. The light armor is replaced by a casual shirt, and the lower body is a pair of casual pants. Xiao Yu is tall and has a good figure. Wearing this outfit is both energetic and not special. Serious, Ye Ning felt that he couldn't look away.

Xiao Yu's appearance is outstanding, and her temperament is outstanding. She is a luminous body when walking in the crowd. In order to avoid trouble, she still wears sunglasses.Although it still looks special, it won't make people think of the second young master of the Xiao family.

After going upstairs, Ye Ning gently pulled away the hand that had been held all the time. Xiao Yu sighed and said, "I really hope that your parents can accept it sooner."

"I will find the right opportunity and tell them earlier." Ye Ning said to Xiao Yu seriously.In fact, Xiao Yu can completely avoid this grievance, but for him, he is still willing to endure it.Yesterday he thought for a long time by himself, and decided to tell his parents when they got better.

After opening the door, Ye's father and Ye's mother were really surprised when they saw Xiao Yu, but they were mentally prepared after all, and they reacted after a while.Mother Ye took the bag from Xiao Yu's hand, and said with a smile, "It's our honor to have Mr. Xiao come here, how dare I let you pay for it."

"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. Aning and I are very good friends. Auntie can just call me Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu replied with a smile.

Father Ye and Mother Ye saw their son nodding at the side, so they also changed their address graciously.

Everyone entered the room and sat down. Father Ye and mother Ye were a little cautious at first, but Xiao Yu coaxed them to relax a lot after a few moments.Seeing that they communicated well, Ye Ning simply went into the kitchen.The reality is not like the game has various bonuses. If you want to make a big meal, you still have to prepare it early.

While cleaning a piece of beef-like animal meat, a voice came from behind, "Can you help me?"

Ye Ning kept his hands on his hands, turned around and said, "Why did you come in?"

"Let your parents relax. Shall I help you?" Xiao Yu started to roll up his sleeves as he spoke.

"Have you cooked?" Ye Ning looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously.

"Well, I really haven't done it. You teach me?"

"Uh, let's forget about it today. You go out, let my parents see that you cook, it's me." Ye Ning shook off the water on his hands, and pushed him out of the kitchen with his arms.

I made five dishes and one soup for lunch, which is not a big meal according to Ye Ning's habits in the game, but it is considered a big meal in reality.

Looking at the delicious dishes, Xiao Yu secretly said to Ye Ning: "I never imagined that your cooking skills are so good in reality. I should have come to you sooner if I knew it. Otherwise, when your parents recover, we can cook together." live?"

"Eat, what are you talking about?" Ye Ning pushed Xiao Yu nervously, and handed him the soup.

The host and guest enjoyed a meal.Ye Ning cooked these dishes these days. Father Ye and mother both know Ye Ning's level. Seeing Xiao Yu eating at this time, they are full of praise. They are all glad that it was the right way to let his son learn cooking according to his own ideas. up.The Xiao family is a top wealthy family, what delicious food have you never eaten?The dishes made by the son can be praised by Mr. Xiao, so it must be good.

After eating, Xiao Yu went back after a short time.For the son to have such a prominent friend, Ye father and Ye mother still need to get used to it.In addition, when the two of them were together, they couldn't help but make some "little moves". In order to avoid further stimulating the two elders, Xiao Yu could only bear with it, and slowly figured it out.

Lancheng, commercial street.

A store at the corner is very lively today, people have been coming and going since the morning, if you look carefully, you will find that this is a new restaurant, the signboard covered by a red cloth on the lintel is obviously a preparation for Open today.

Ye Ning finished frying the last dish in the back kitchen, and was urged by the young apprentice to change into a suit of clothes.Today is the auspicious day for the opening of Yejia Restaurant's store in Lancheng. As the owner, Ye Ning must dress decently.

In exchange for the gift from Aunt Huang—a set of very elegant robes, the robes are light blue in color, and the cloth made of top-quality natural silk is embroidered with layers of cloud patterns with different shades of blue silk threads. Changes are revealed inadvertently.The jade crown on his head was given by Xiao Yu, and the hairpin made of suet white jade was carved in the shape of bamboo.Ye Ning, who had cleaned up a lot, appeared in front of everyone, which really made people's eyes shine.Xiao Yu looked at the jade crown on Ye Ning's head with satisfaction, and Ning Xiang stared at Ye Ning's robe. Such exquisite skills made her astonished. If she hadn't remembered that the occasion was wrong, she would have wanted to put I took off this robe and studied it carefully.

Ye Ning's new store opened, and all the good friends came to congratulate or sent gifts.At this time, seven or eight out of ten people in this restaurant are well-known in the game.

The route of the new store is different from that of Seablue City.Due to the limited area, the old stores in Seablue City mainly take out food, but in this new store, the proportion of dine-in food is more important.

The first floor of the new store occupies an area of ​​over a hundred square meters, with a total of three floors. The first floor is the lobby, the second floor is the private seats, and the third floor is the private rooms.When Ye Ning renovated this store, he adopted the style of the ancient Huaguo, incorporating some modern elements.Because the restaurant is at a corner, except for the backyard where the kitchen is located, three sides are facing the street, and the gate faces the intersection where people come and go.Considering the lighting and the habits of modern people, Ye Ning adopted a large-area window design, and planted a circle of flowers and plants outside the restaurant, which can not only maintain a certain degree of privacy, but also add a touch of interest.

The whole restaurant is elegant and concise, yet exquisite in details.Entering through the four carved gates is the lobby with simple layout.In addition to tables, chairs and counters, there are many wooden signs on the wall on the right hand side of the entrance, with the names of dishes written on them.There are large and small wine jars below, selling some wines that Ye Ning made himself or bought.As for the more advanced wines, such as those obtained from Mr. Qu, they are placed on the wall cabinet behind the counter.There is a back door next to the counter, leading out to a small backyard. The backyard is not big, only less than two meters wide, which can be used to dry some things.Behind it is the kitchen, which is connected with the restaurant in front by a corridor.Because the scale of the restaurant has expanded, it is impossible for Ye Ning to stay here every day, so after discussing with Manager Zhou, he hired two more chefs.

The cooking skills of the two chefs are at the intermediate level, and now they are handed over to the young apprentice, who can be regarded as half of the young apprentice's apprentice.In addition, some waiters and handymen were recruited, adding up to 30 to [-] people.At this time, these people are very busy, and they hope that today's opening will make a good start and make the owner happy.

Follow the stairs on the left hand side of the lobby to the second floor, which is the private seat.There are fewer tables and chairs on the second floor than on the first floor. The tables are separated by some green plants and some bamboo curtains, which can slightly block the sight, but the sound can still be heard.The third floor is private rooms. Inspired by other restaurants, Ye Ning designs private rooms in different sizes, the big ones can accommodate thirty people, and the small ones only have ten or so.In the private room, besides the tables and chairs, there are also some flowers and plants, and some calligraphy and paintings hung, which are more elegantly arranged.

The decoration of the restaurant, Ye Ning, was finally completed after pondering and revising again and again. At this time, it was finally time to open, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.However, looking at the friends who showed up to support him, there is no need to worry about the traffic on the first day.

At ten o'clock, crackling firecrackers announced the official opening of the new Yejia restaurant.Lancheng has been open to the public for half a month.Because it is the first player city built in the game, many players came here for this name.Qingshan also recruited many merchants, and cooperated with these merchants to hold a lot of promotional activities. These days, the flow of people in Mist City has been very large.

These people saw the opening of such a big restaurant, and heard that it was a [-]% discount, and then heard some players say that there are master chefs in charge, and there are many special foods for sale, and the price is cheaper than restaurants like Zuixianlou, so they I couldn't help but be moved.There are even some players who have bought things at Hailan's Ye family restaurant before, and now they see that this is also the Ye family restaurant, so they have a little trust in their hearts.Not long after the official opening, the first and second floors were full.

After saying hello to the friends who were present in the box on the third floor, Ye Ning hurried downstairs, seeing players calling for more food from time to time, after being excited, Ye Ning couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Back then, when he left Xinshou Village and first came to Hailan, he was at a loss, because he didn't have any money, so he had to pick up oysters at the beach and bake them at Lover's Beach for sale.It was the money from selling barbecue that helped him get through that period of bewilderment.Later, when I bought a store, I had a place to settle down.What did he think at that time, because he didn't know whether he could go offline, and his heart was full of unknown panic, so he could only find a goal to make himself feel more at ease.Now that I have my own house and still owe debts, my heart is not so empty at last. What I think about every day is how to upgrade and how to make money.Later, when he met a tiger and got acquainted with Xiao Yu, he finally had a companion.Several people worked together, and now, not only did he earn a lot of money every day and opened a new store, but they also established Lancheng together.He believes that in the future, Lancheng will inevitably become a big city not inferior to the main city of the system.And now, he is not only safe with his family, but also accompanied by Xiao Yu, so he no longer has to worry about being alone in the future.Such a life, although busy, made him feel happy and hopeful.

Xiao Yu came out at some point, walked to Ye Ning's side, gently held his hand, and stood quietly with him.

"Lan City will become more and more prosperous, and my restaurant will also become better and better."

"Ah."

"Will you walk with me all the time?"

"Well, all the time." The hand she held was tight.

"When are you going to see your parents?"

"Well, they'll like you."

"If they don't like it, let them eat my cooking, and they will always like me."

"Okay, I'll help you."

Ye Ning chuckled and looked at the man with gentle eyes beside him, feeling so happy at the moment.

Before writing the article, I had many thoughts, but when I actually wrote it, I realized that I was not strong enough to write, or the plot development was already somewhat involuntary, and many thoughts were not expressed.In the past, I always felt that the authors who wrote articles wrote [-] words a day, which was a bit small. When I wrote it myself, I realized how difficult it is to persist every day.I stopped updating twice for a long time. Although I think about updating every day, I still have a headache when I think about it. I don’t have enough writing power, insufficient knowledge storage, slow typing, and can’t think of the next plot. , are all the difficulties I encountered in the first writing, but I finally persisted, just because I thought that you still insisted on watching.So, here, I want to say thank you very seriously, thank you for giving me the motivation to persevere!
