========================

Most of the people who come here at this time are sending bouquets or birthday cakes.

Song Mengyuan opened the door and saw Li Yaguang holding a box of birthday cakes from a well-known cake chain store, and Tan Shuo standing at the door holding a large bouquet of red roses.

The two obviously didn't expect Song Mengyuan to come out, and they were stunned for a moment.Li Yaguang was the first to recover, and hurriedly said: "Miss Song, this is the birthday cake the boss asked me to order for you. Happy birthday to you." Tan Shuo followed suit and said the same thing.

Song Mengyuan smiled, took the bouquet and cake box, and thanked them both.

Li Yaguang sent Song Mengyuan another plastic bag by courier, which contained two large cups of iced milk tea, two boxes of semi-cooked cheesecake, four boxes of Xuemei Niang and other snacks.

"This is the snack we bought for you, be careful, please accept it."

Song Mengyuan looked at Li Yaguang and the two in surprise, "It's so embarrassing, I would like to trouble you to give me something extra."

"You're a birthday star. We don't have anything to sell, so we have to use this instead." Li Yaguang smiled, persuaded Song Mengyuan to accept it, and left with Tan Shuo.

Song Mengyuan closed the door, took the things to the restaurant, and told Qi Ye.

Qi Ye was frying and coloring the pork ribs, but he didn't dare to raise his head: "Then eat less, you will have lunch later."

"I feel like I don't need to eat at night, I just eat snacks." Song Mengyuan smiled and took out the milk tea and snacks that Li Yaguang bought, without opening the birthday cake box that Qi Ye ordered, and looked at Qi Ye, "It's your appetite Great, I have to continue to do it tonight.”

Qi Ye colored the pork ribs, poured in the soaked spice water, put in boiled and peeled eggs, and poured in a few spoonfuls of light soy sauce and Huadiao wine, and the aroma immediately wafted out.Wen Yan said: "You should have a taste at least tonight."

She closed the lid, turned the heat to medium-low to simmer the pork ribs, pressed the timer, then fished out the soaked vermicelli and poured out the seasoning for the marinated shrimp.

Song Mengyuan took a look, and found that Qi Ye had indeed calculated the time and steps in advance. Except for an accident in picking the shrimp line, he didn't expect that the time for cooking and picking up gifts was rushed. Other times, he was quite calm and his brain was not in vain.

She went to count the roses, 99 roses, not a lot. This is not a birthday bouquet, it is clearly a confession.Then he thought, forget it, Qi Ye didn't dare to send such blatant bouquets, and it was rare to go out of town, so let's make people happy for a while.

Qi Ye blanched the vermicelli, rolled them into balls, then stuffed the shrimp into the center of the vermicelli, set the plate, and then went to make the minced garlic, then set up another pot, put oil, and fry the minced garlic until golden brown.

She looked at the color and was hesitating when a burnt smell wafted out. She hurriedly turned off the fire, fished out the minced garlic and tasted it, but found that it was useless, so she had to throw it away and make a new minced garlic.

Song Mengyuan watched with relish from behind.

Qi Ye poured the fried minced garlic onto the arranged shrimps with a spoon, and then put the plates into the drawer and put them on the pan for steaming.Xi Yuduo’s stove has an induction cooker and a gas stove. The induction cooker has been used to stew ribs, and the remaining gas stove does not have a timer function.Afraid that he would forget the time, Qi Ye took the phone and glanced at the notes, set the timer for 8 minutes before firing.

Seeing that both stoves were in use, Song Mengyuan chatted with Qi Ye.Qi Ye listened to her, rinsed the tomatoes, and prepared to peel them.Song Mengyuan saw that Qi Ye started to peel the skin directly, and couldn't help it again: "You will peel it very slowly, you need to scald it with boiling water—" She was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized that Qi Ye might not want to worry about it, so she shut her mouth.

Qi Ye stopped and looked up at her: "Why is it hot?"

Seeing that she was very modest, Song Mengyuan continued to point out: "You need to use a fruit knife to make a cross on the head of the tomato, then pour boiling water on it to scald the whole tomato, and then peel it with your hands. It’s slippery, if it’s too hot, rinse your hands with cold water and be careful not to let the tomato fall to the ground.”

Qi Ye followed suit, frowning and peeling. After each peeling, he stretched his fingers under the faucet to rinse, and the heat subsided before peeling off one.She cut the tomatoes into different sizes, which made Song Mengyuan laugh all the time. This is the most common mistake for novices to make.Fortunately, this dish of tomato fat beef soup does not need shaped tomatoes, Qi Ye can be regarded as using his brain.

The timer ticked the time, Qi Ye lifted the lid of the pot, and was about to take it empty-handed. Song Mengyuan hurriedly reminded: "Don't do this, you will burn your hands. Aren't there gloves over there? Put them on before you go get the plate."

Qi Ye followed suit honestly, and brought a plate of steamed hot and fragrant anchovy shrimp with garlic to the bar.Song Mengyuan looked down, the appearance was not bad, the main reason was that it was easier to make, it only tested the heat, not the hands-on ability—she remembered Qi Ye’s clumsiness in picking the shrimp line at the beginning—retracting the preface, there is still something for novices It must be tested.

"If you want to eat, you can try one now." Qi Ye misunderstood Song Mengyuan's staring at the anchovy shrimp, and handed her a pair of chopsticks and a small plate, "Tell me how it tastes."

Song Mengyuan took the chopsticks and plates with a smile, and sure enough, he picked one up and tasted it. The shrimp had been marinated for too long, and it tasted too salty.

She raised her head, saw Qi Ye's nervous eyes, and said with a smile: "The taste is not bad, it would be better to eat it with rice."

Qi Ye didn't understand Song Mengyuan's subtext, so he went back happily, and simply rinsed the pot with clean water, and it was about to add oil.

Song Mengyuan hurriedly called to stop: "Wait, let the water dry before adding oil."

Qi Ye stopped in time, waited until the pot was dry before pouring oil, sautéing ginger and garlic until fragrant, then pouring diced tomatoes and frying until soft, a sour tomato aroma slowly came out.

Song Mengyuan sat on the bar counter, unable to smell the aroma, and could only watch Qi Ye carefully pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce with a spoon, and poured a spoonful of sugar before heating the water.When the water boils, throw in the softened beef slices.

When the tomato fat beef soup comes out of the pot, the braised pork ribs are almost ready, and the rice cooker also issued a reminder.

Qi Ye frantically turned off the fire for the pork ribs, brought two bowls of tomato fat beef soup to the bar, and then went back to get a plate for the ribs.

Song Mengyuan brought the three dishes to the table, and when he came back, Qi Ye was already cooking noodles, and he couldn't help reminding: "You can use braised eggs for eggs, and you don't need to make extra poached eggs."

Qi Ye looked back at Song Mengyuan, she really didn't expect this, showing suspicion and worry in her eyes, can she really make up the numbers like this?

"Okay, there are enough eggs, I can't eat any more."

Qi Ye just nodded, picked up a piece of noodles, took a bite, it was still raw, and cooked it for a while until the noodles were cooked, then picked up all the noodles, put them into a bowl of iced water and swirled a few times.

"The tutorial you found is not bad, and it even talks about this."

Song Mengyuan had just finished boasting when she saw Qi Ye calmly take out another large bowl, pour light soy sauce, sesame oil, monosodium glutamate, and water for cooking noodles into it, and a bowl of soup came out. The practice of Yangchun noodles.Song Mengyuan was stunned, but Qi Ye actually remembered it.

Qi Ye fried the small rapeseed in a wok, then put the noodles soaked in clear water into the soup, topped it with green small rapeseed, sprinkled a handful of white sesame seeds, and served it to the table himself.She turned back to the kitchen and took out a fruit knife, then returned to the dining table, picked out a whole braised marinated egg and cut it open, took half of it and put it on the noodles.

A bowl of longevity noodles with red, yellow and green, full of aroma and taste was formed in this way—although the prototype was Yangchun noodles made by Song Mengyuan.

Song Mengyuan served Qi Ye a bowl of rice, and then sat down at the dining table.Qi Ye pushed the noodles in front of her, "Happy birthday to you, please eat the noodles."

"Thank you."

Song Mengyuan picked up the chopsticks and ate two mouthfuls of noodles. The taste was almost the same as that made by himself. A smile spread from the bottom of his heart and smeared on his face.

Seeing Song Mengyuan smiling happily, Qi Ye was also very happy, so he handed her another spare rib, "Try this too."

The pork ribs were not cooked enough, they tasted too hard and too sweet, Song Mengyuan also had a good time eating it, and said with a smile: "It's quite chewy, I like it."

Qi Ye had already eaten it, knowing that it was his first time doing it, and the result would definitely not be perfect. Hearing Song Mengyuan's praise like this, Song was relieved, but felt uncomfortable, "I will do better next time."

Song Mengyuan was startled when he heard the words, and raised his head to look at Qi Ye: "I can still eat your cooking on my next birthday."

Has it been tacitly accepted that she only cooks for her birthday?Qi Ye stared at Song Mengyuan, thinking that his image in the other party's heart was really low.

She hesitated for a moment, then said vaguely, "It doesn't have to be so late... I usually practice."

"You're a busy person, it's good to be able to find time to cook, don't force yourself." Song Mengyuan bowed his head and took a sip of the tomato fat beef soup. The soup is rich and needs to be eaten for dinner.

Qi Ye ate with a sullen head.

Not long after, the two cleaned up all the food, Song Mengyuan and Qi Ye sent the dishes to the kitchen sink, and then wiped the table clean.

Qi Ye opened the cake box and began to put candles on the delicate cake.

Song Mengyuan watched from the side, and said to her: "I had a very happy birthday, thank you."

Qi Ye counted the number of candles, two thick and six thin, representing the age of 26, then started to light the candles, and put on the birthday crown for Song Mengyuan, looking at each other, "It's too early for you to say, I haven't given a birthday present yet here you are."

Song Mengyuan looked at Qi Ye in surprise.

Qi Ye pressed Song Mengyuan to the table and told her to blow out the candles and make a wish without opening her eyes.Song Mengyuan did as he did, and heard Qi Ye's footsteps walking and the sound of picking something up, and then he heard Qi Ye put something on the dining table.

"You can open your eyes now."

Song Mengyuan opened his eyes curiously, and saw a kraft paper package next to the cake.

"Open it and have a look." Qi Ye pushed the file package in front of Song Mengyuan.

Song Mengyuan took down the line in doubt, pulled out a stack of documents, and found that it turned out to be a share transfer letter, an appointment letter, and a contract, all of which pointed to Xi Yuduo's Xinghang Education.

She looked up at Qi Ye in surprise: "This is—"

"Xi Yuduo asked me about Xinghang Education, which I borrowed money to establish. This debt has been converted into equity, accounting for 40.00% of Xinghang Education. You will be the largest shareholder of Xinghang Education besides Xi Yuduo in the future."

Song Mengyuan gasped, and was about to speak when Qi Ye signaled her not to speak yet.

"You can't just be a hands-off shopkeeper. Xi Yuduo lacks a capable partner now, so you need to help her manage Xinghang Education. This is your vice president appointment letter, and the salary is included in the equity."

"Wait a minute..." Before Song Mengyuan could interrupt, he heard Qi Ye's last sentence and was stunned.

"I know you don't want to accept big gifts for no reason, so there is a price." Qi Ye paused for Song Mengyuan to listen to the next words clearly, "Since you have the equity of Xinghang Education, then the next In five years, you won't be able to get the equity dividends of Somnium Group, including all its subsidiaries. When you return to Luan City, you need to find Yang Xuan to re-sign the contract."

Song Mengyuan stopped talking and began to think carefully.
