Mo Knife Returns to the Building [Comprehensive + Sword Three]

"How do you... know my birthday?"

Yan Yinyue looked at Huamanlou, very puzzled.Because she never mentioned her birthday, and probably no one else in this world would know her birthday.

"It's calculated." ——According to Yu Tingfeng's birthday.However, Hua Manlou didn't say the latter sentence, just considering that Yan Yinyue has been on the road for the past few days, so she might not know the date, so she added: "Birthday on November [-]th... what I said is true. right?"

Yan Yinyue thought for a while.

Hua Manlou's eyes also darkened for a moment—even her birthday was considered, so it can be seen that she probably rarely celebrates birthdays... But the festival is only once a year, and it is also the date of a life's birth, so it would be unavoidable not to celebrate it. It's a pity.

Yan Yinyue finally pulled out her date of birth from the depths of her memory, nodded: "No! That's the day! Thank you, thank you."

After hesitating to say this thank you, Yan Yinyue looked at Hua Manlou with a rare look of hesitant to speak.

Hua Manlou inexplicably understood what she meant, and nodded slightly: "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight, so I sent the gift to your room in advance."

Yan Yinyue's eyes lit up, and she was about to run upstairs to her room, but she stopped shortly after taking a step. She was clearly looking forward to it, but she still insisted on restraining her steps, with a look of "what?" Dad doesn't look forward to the gift, but since it's already given, Dad should go and have a look." Slowly went upstairs.

Yan Yinyue originally thought that the gift should be in a big box, and the action of unpacking the box can be very exaggerated, at least it should be as conspicuous as the suit given by Huamanlou in the town that participated in the Huachao Festival.

However, after opening the door, I didn't see anything superfluous—the room should have been cleaned carefully during the few days when I was away, and even though I hadn't returned for several days, it was still not stained with a speck of dust.

But what about gifts?

Yan Yinyue looked around, and finally saw an extra envelope on the dresser she seldom used.

Is this a gift?I've also seen some letters received on my comrade's birthday... so is she the same this time?Her heart beat two beats faster for no reason, Yan Yinyue walked to the table in three steps at a time, picked up the letter, and opened it.

A piece of paper fluttered down.

Yan Yinyue picked it up and took a look, this is... the land deed?

Hua Manlou's voice came from behind at the right time: "There is a pasture on the northwest side of Cangyun Castle. I have already bought it. The title deed is the one in your hand. In addition, when spring comes, the Huajia caravan will send some A fine horse passed by—you don’t need to worry about these things, just be at ease and get down to business.”

Yan Yinyue opened her eyes wide and looked at Huamanlou.

——She really wanted to develop that pasture into a horse farm for the Cangyun army... But the price has not been negotiated. Anyway, Cangyun has just developed, and the horse farm is not in a hurry, so she just keeps letting it go. Looking at this matter, he casually mentioned it to Hua Manlou a while ago.She knew that Hua Manlou had been listening to her carefully, but she still didn't expect the other party to be so attentive...

Hua Manlou misunderstood her appearance, tilted his head slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Why? Don't you like it?"

Yan Yinyue clenched the land deed in her hand, lowered her head unconsciously, and pretended to be flat and said, "It's okay."

——No, actually, I like it very much... This kind of... the feeling of being placed on the tip of my heart...

Hua Man Lou Fang misunderstood what she meant, but she was a little nervous because she was afraid that the other party would not like it.After calming down at this moment, how could he not know what Yan Yinyue was really thinking, and smiled softly: "You are tired after driving for a day, the hot water has already been boiled, you go and wash, I will Go to the kitchen and make you something to eat."

"En." Yan Yinyue nodded.

Hua Manlou smiled again, and when she turned around to leave, she was suddenly pulled by her sleeves. Looking up, she could only see the little girl with her head lowered, and her voice was like a mosquito: "I want to eat...longevity noodles."

Eh?Hua Manlou was taken aback—he could only cook a few simple side dishes, and he had seen other people make longevity noodles, but...

However, the words he uttered became: "Okay, I'll try cooking longevity noodles."

——Isn’t it just to mix the noodles and knead them, then stretch them a few times to make noodles, throw them into the water and boil them, and finally take them out and pour the soup on them?

It doesn't look too difficult... right?

In short, this is a rare request from Xiaoyan after all, no matter whether it can be done or not, it must be tried first.

So when Yan Yinyue took a bath and ran to the kitchen with a rosy and soft face soaked in hot water, he saw a few side dishes had been fried and kept warm in a pot beside them, and the flowers were full of flowers. At this time, Lou was struggling fiercely with the dough on the panel with his face covered in flour.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hua Manlou turned around and smiled at her, saying, "Wait a little longer~"

After speaking, he turned his head and continued to roll the noodles.

But it's really a very challenging job.

It is reasonable to say that he has internal strength and can perform extremely fine manipulations of the strength of both arms and hands, but this micromanipulation ability that makes Jianghu people proud is very weak in front of this soft and soft dough. It is a bit difficult to stretch into filaments with uniform thickness.

——Those ramen stall owners who don't understand Wu at all can beat him by ten blocks in this respect.

When Hua Manlou was doing it, Yan Yinyue stood aside and watched him do it.

It is said that serious people are good-looking, Hua Manlou was already good-looking in Yan Yinyue's eyes, but now she can almost make her look crazy.In addition, with flour on his face at this time, he was a little less immortal than usual and more popular, which added a little warmth.

Yan Yinyue, who has a weak family relationship, values ​​warmth the most.

It's just...it's so good-looking that it can't be eaten.

Yan Yinyue only used some dry food in the field at noon. After a long run in the afternoon, she has a lot of appetite. Right now, she is really...a little hungry.

Moreover, no matter how beautiful Huamanlou is, she can see that his bowl of noodles is actually not very smooth, and it can't be prepared simply by waiting for a while.

She was so hungry that Yan Yinyue couldn't help but wanted to ask him when the noodles would be ready, but fortunately she changed her words in time and asked him if there was anything he needed to help.

Hua Manlou originally wanted to say no.But looking at the messy dough on the panel, he had a flash of inspiration and simply asked Yan Yinyue and himself to stretch out a piece of noodles.

To be able to cook a bowl of noodles with Huamanlou is something that Yan Yinyue could only wish for.

Then the two of them used the internal strength they had practiced for at least ten years to carefully control the strength of the fingers, wrists and arms, so as to make them even in thickness without breaking them.

Together, two people can stretch the noodles long enough, and in the end, two bowls of longevity noodles were successfully stretched out.

——This is probably the most expensive longevity noodle in history.

After finishing it, Yan Yinyue realized that she had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and quickly wiped her face with her hands... The flour on her hands rubbed on her face, and her face was immediately stained.Coupled with the fact that she was wearing normal clothes and had just taken a shower, it was rare for her to look like a little girl from an ordinary family.

Huamanlou couldn't help laughing, and was about to reach out to help her wipe off the flour on her forehead, when she suddenly realized that she was also flour... Then she remembered that she had touched her face with her hands before, so——Huamanlou Pointing to himself, then to Yan Yinyue: "Two big tabby cats!"

This kind of words that seemed to separate the two people together made Yan Yinyue elated, looked up at Huamanlou, and unconsciously showed a smirk.

Although this smile is a bit silly, it is full of undisguised attachment and joy. The narrow kitchen is steaming with fog, and the dim light is hazy, adding a bit of ambiguity.

Her heart skipped a beat, and then she felt a bit sore and numb, Hua Manlou couldn't help but stumbled for a moment, and almost didn't drop the noodles she had so easily stretched out in her hands.

He quickly calmed down, suppressed all emotions, and smiled warmly: "I'm going to cook the noodles. This time, I should really wait for a while. You take these dishes outside first? It depends on you For today's birthday, I'll make an exception for you to have a drink, and you can go to the warehouse to pick out the one you like."

As soon as she heard that it was time to drink, Yan Yinyue regained her spirits immediately, looked at Hua Manlou with sparkling eyes, and nodded emphatically.

Hua Manlou shook his head again - in a daze, he felt that Yan Yinyue seemed to have an extra tail on his buttocks, and he kept shaking and shaking.

Taking advantage of Yan Yinyue happily carrying the dishes out of the kitchen, Hua Manlou patted his forehead - what are you thinking!What a tail!

However, if Xiaoyan really has a tail and ears... it seems really cute.

While stirring the pot, Hua Manlou was thinking with a smile.

This time, waiting for a while is really waiting for a while.

Yan Yinyue brought over a jar of old-fashioned Huadiao wine, and Hua Manlou almost cooked the longevity noodles.

The noodles don't look good, but they smell and taste good.

Yan Yinyue ate a bowl of noodles first, and then mainly drank. Occasionally eating two bites of food was also the current drink.

Since her birthday comes only once a year, Hua Man Lou doesn't stop her.

So Yan Yinyue drank to her heart's content, half a catty of flower carvings almost went into her stomach, and she ate the rest of the dishes and noodles with a sense of dignity, except for Hua Manlou.

After drinking the last drop of wine, Yan Yinyue lay contentedly on the table, half-closed her eyes, and looked up at Huamanlou.

Seeing her flushed cheeks and moist black eyes stained by alcohol, Hua Manlou couldn't help but raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead, jokingly said: "Have you had enough? Do you want another jar? "

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted angrily, "Yes!"

Hua Manlou was about to say something, when he heard the sound of clappers in the third watch from a distance, he couldn't help being startled, and sighed softly in his heart, luckily he didn't miss it.

Then he curled his lips and smiled at Yan Yinyue: "It's already three o'clock, I can't drink any more, I'm going to sleep."

"Oh." As Yan Yinyue said, she immediately closed her eyes, and within minutes there was a soft snoring sound - she was already asleep.

Huamanlou was dumbfounded.

But seeing the tiredness on the little girl's face, he couldn't bear to call her up, so he could only pick her up and send her back to the room.

The girl who had taken off her armor was frighteningly light, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind, Hua Manlou couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms.

When going upstairs, Yan Yinyue woke up once, opened her eyes and was confused for a while, then suddenly reached out to wrap her arms around Hua Manlou's neck, rubbed it unconsciously like a large dog, and whispered inarticulately: "I'm so happy~ the happiest~ I have my favorite gifts, my favorite longevity noodles, my favorite wine, and my favorite..."

The little soliloquy slowly died down until it could no longer be heard—and fell asleep again.

Hua Manlou hugged her and continued to go upstairs, but her last words unconsciously echoed in her ears - favorite... what?

——…Favorite Huamanlou!

——Oh, I also like Xiaoyan the most!

So Hua Manlou, who put her on the bed, saw Yan Yinyue showing an extremely relaxed and joyful smile in her sleep.

So this birthday, Xiaoyan should really have a good time.

……That's good.
