With the opening of the federal market, the reputation of Taoqianzhai and Wu'anmiao in the empire has also increased.But only capital stars can enjoy the daily delivery of Noon Meow, and Taoqianzhai only has stores in capital stars, which makes many star network users of resident stars very dissatisfied.

The calls for opening a branch increased, and Jiang Ruan and Mu Zexi became more and more busy.One is responsible for the laying out of the new empire store, and the other is supervising the list of dishes supplied to the Federation.As before, the two of them had been busy all day, and at night they could still huddle together on the bed, touching each other's feet for a long time.But when the career is on the rise, it can be said that it is difficult to see each other, let alone other time to spend together.

The time to see each other is getting less and less, but the chat records on the star network are accumulating one after another. The pictures of each other are full of optical brains, and the relationship is becoming more and more sticky and sweet.This situation continued for several months until the federal business stabilized, until the site selection for the new store was completed, and until the prince and his wife informed them that they were going home.

When Jiang Ruan received Mu Jiuqiang's message, she stayed up all night at Taoqianzhai's headquarters. She was so busy that she turned on the screen in a hurry to take a quick look, but stopped on the spot.

"Mu Jiuqiang: Xiao Ruan, good morning. If you have time recently, come back to have a meal with Ze Xi? My child and Ating's child is going out of the protective box, and it has been received by the royal family. You can see it in a few days." He opened his eyes. The parents said that the arrival of the royal newborn must be witnessed by everyone."

A Ting is Mu Jiuqiang's unique name for Li Hui. It is said that it was because he mistook Li Hui for a girl when they met at the time, and praised him for being slim.After becoming friends, the misunderstanding was resolved, but the title stayed for half a lifetime.

"Boss, boss, do you want to cut this dish? The sales record is actually not bad... Boss?" An assistant came over, ignoring Jiang Ruan's abnormal movements, and babbled for a while before he came to his senses .

"Huh? Put it there, I'll take a look later." Jiang Ruan compared the table and rubbed his forehead, the tiredness in his eyes was obvious.

"Okay, boss, please wait a little longer. His Highness told you to watch you to rest when he set off for the Resident Star." The assistant frowned worriedly, but he had no choice but to use Mu Zexi's name Come "shock".

"Understood, let's go." Jiang Ruan responded in a low voice, nodded slightly, ignored the assistant, and let him leave the office by himself.

The morning light began to clear up, and the office returned to silence.Jiang Ruan lowered her head, squinted her eyes, and took a break to recall the content of the message just now.

Ze Xi's brother's family is expecting a child.It turns out that it has been so long from getting married, applying for indicators, to nurturing, until now...

For a serious person like Mu Jiuqiang, it's rare for him to send a message in person. His words are full of uncontrollable joy. He can't wait to post a picture to show it. How could he not see it?

The bell rang abruptly, a familiar and exclusive tune.Jiang Ruan reacted immediately, raised her head suddenly, and answered the communication request from the optical brain.

The moment it was connected, there was a light cough from the opposite side.With a hint of hoarseness and exhaustion, but also a bit of anticipation and joy, it is still gentle and magnetic as always.

"Ruan Ruan? Are you up yet?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Ruan let out a long breath, "I haven't slept yet."

"Why didn't you sleep? You're at the company again? Didn't you tell me not to stay up all night?" The voice on the other side was a little serious, as if a little unhappy.

"I'm the only one at home. Kerry hasn't been clinging to me recently. You're not here, so I can't sleep..." Jiang Ruan's voice was very low, with a nasal tone unique to staying up late, which Mu Zeyi could hear clearly.

"I'll be back soon, come on, good boy." For some reason, the voice on the other side was panting and tinged with a three-point joke, "Turn on the video, and see if the cook who stays up all night in our family has dark circles under his eyes." The entire eye socket?"

"No, ugly, very ugly recently. When you come back, tell me earlier, I have to go to sleep first, otherwise I will be too tired and very ugly." Jiang Ruan felt that her thoughts were going to be blurred, There is no one to answer.Leaning in the crook of his arms, he let out a lazy hum.

"Then you should have no chance!" The voice in Guang's head suddenly rose, accompanied by the sound of the door opening not far away, which instantly dissipated Jiang Ruan's bewildered sleepiness.

Behind the half-open door, a familiar figure appeared.Stretching half of his body, he looked into the office.

"Ze Xi?" Jiang Ruan called out in surprise, "Are you back?"

"That's right, if you hadn't come back, you wouldn't have known you were staying up late at the company behind my back." Mu Zexi nodded noncommittally, pushed the door open and entered.

"Didn't you say you won't be back for a few days?" Jiang Ruan blinked blankly, watched the person approaching, and put his arms around the strong waist of the person in disbelief.

"This is not the same as you. I stayed up all night and finished it? Then my colleagues found an ingredient, which feels like the squid baby you mentioned before, so you won't bring it back." Mu Zexi rubbed Jiang Ruan's fluffy hair , holding people in their arms and not letting go.

"Well, I'll see later." Jiang Ruan nodded, letting her face rub against Mu Zexi's stomach, "Have you received the message from elder brother?"

"What message, I was talking to you just now, I didn't read it." Mu Ze couldn't figure it out.

"That's right, elder brother said, their child is about to come out of the protective box." Jiang Ruan lay on Mu Zexi's abdomen, her voice sounded muffled. "It just doesn't tell us whether it's a boy or a girl. Can synthetic technology make two male genes synthesize a female?"

"Okay." Mu Zexi nodded, "It turns out that they all have children, should we go back to eat? Then go back, just give us a few days off, we are too tired during this time."

"..." Jiang Ruan paused for a moment, "Let's find a chance to make an appointment too? Doesn't it mean that it will take a long time?"

"Ruan Ruan?!" Mu Zexi opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Do you agree? Okay! How about we make an appointment today?"

"You really want to come out once..." Jiang Ruan scolded with a smile, but did not stop clearly, "Go back and check the situation first, ask about experience. In short, it has to be done, and it will be done in this period of time, there is no rush Going today. Didn't you say you brought an ingredient? Let's take it and go to my parents' place, so we can have dinner together."

"Okay." Mu Zexi nodded, and finally couldn't help but pick him up, put him in his arms and hug him.

Outside the door, the assistant who was about to knock on the door with the documents was shocked to realize that he was impolite, turned around with a blushing face, closed the door for the two of them softly, and left with a snickering smile.

***

When the two arrived at the royal family, they buried their heads in the kitchen before they could go to the isolation room to see the newborn.

The ingredients brought by Mu Zexi are indeed similar to cuttlefish in appearance, but after opening everything, you can find that the internal organs are different.Jiang Ruan was not sure about the taste of this thing, so he had to try it according to the cooking method of cuttlefish.

The bulging little thing was cleaned up by the cook and handed over to Jiang Ruan.After passing through the water, Jiang Ruan first heats the pan with oil, sauté the peppers and garlic until fragrant, and then puts in various seasonings after the baby cuttlefish goes down.

The tender white cuttlefish is stained with the dark brown color of the sauce, accompanied by the spicy and salty aroma, floating in the kitchen space.

When the fried cuttlefish was served on the table, everyone noticed this dish that had never been seen before.

"When you came back, you went straight to the kitchen. That's what it was for? What are these dark clumps?" Zhang Yan looked over curiously.

"Seafood? I saw a sucker." Li Hui stroked his chin.

"It feels like young cuttlefish. You will know after trying it." Jiang Ruan nodded. "Squid young is when the cuttlefish is not grown up. At this time, the taste is more tender and the meat is more elastic. It is very nutritious. Eating this is good for your health. .”

Hearing Jiang Ruan's description, everyone held up a chopstick and put a cuttlefish baby in their own bowl, and smelled the sauce and sent it to their mouths.

The round body of the cuttlefish is covered with sauce, and it is very chewy in the mouth.The suction cups on the tentacles have been cleaned by the chef, and they are harder than the torso, so it takes a few bites to eat it.

Each one is small, and it will not be too embarrassing to eat.The unique aroma of seafood, with a hint of sweet, sour, spicy, explodes in the mouth.

"This food is good, can I make it a snack?" Zhang Yan was still not satisfied after eating one cuttlefish baby, and then took another one to the bowl.

"Is this taste suitable? I used cooking wine, soy sauce, rock sugar and vinegar to taste just now. If it is a snack, the sauce will be completely dried up, and the taste will be different from the current taste." Jiang Ruan asked Zhang Yan.

"It can be more spicy." Zhang Yan bit the second cuttlefish baby and swallowed it before responding to Jiang Ruan.

"No, I think it's hot enough now." Li Hui looked around, "Jiu Qiang, what do you think?"

"The taste is good, too sweet." Mu Jiuqiang frowned and pondered for a while.

"Ze Xi?" Jiang Ruan asked the people around him softly.

"I don't like suckers very much..." Mu Zexi pursed his lips, his eyes hesitated.

"Okay, I see. I'll make snacks for everyone later. I'll separate the tentacles from Zexi." Jiang Ruan understood, "What about the spicy ones? Dad probably likes spicy things very much. Right?"

"Yeah." Mu Jiang nodded, looking at Jiang Ruan with love for the younger generation, "Let's eat first, don't worry."

The family sits around the oval dining table, and the atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious.

After the meal, Jiang Ruan and Mu Zexi finally saw the little life in the protective box.The protection box exceeded Jiang Ruan's prediction, it was a spherical utensil filled with test solution.The silhouette of a baby is faintly revealed in the translucent partition wall.

Jiang Ruan thought it was quite novel, but she really couldn't see the details clearly.

"I can't see the organs..." Jiang Ruan followed Mu Zexi and lay on the outside of the separation wall, staring at the blurred curve inside the wall.

The father-to-be, Li Hui, was very happy, and pointed at the separation wall excitedly, "This is the baby's head, and here are the legs! Look how cute..."

Jiang Ruan and Mu Zexi looked at each other, laughed at by Li Hui's silly father's temperament, they leaned on the separation wall and shook their shoulders tacitly.
