Xiao Xiao really invited Zhang Tong to eat cake in the end. But why does Zhang Tong look at this cake and feel a little aggrieved?

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a long time in the apple garden just now, and she was browsing the price. She had two options, one was a five-dollar muffin, and she bought two. The other is a box of twelve fast, a box of two pieces of cream cubes. It's two dollars more expensive, but it looks more 'handy'.

In the end, Xiao Xiao was ruthless and decided to spend two more yuan to buy a box of cream cubes. But when I took it, I didn't pay attention to it, and shook the box a little. The cream stuck to the top of the plastic box, and when Zhang Tong got the cake, the cream square cake looked extremely embarrassed.

"Well, the cream is gone. Zhang Tong said. Because all the cream on top of the cake is stuck to the top of the box, now the cream party has become a small party and there is no cream.

Hearing Zhang Tong's words, Xiao Xiao was embarrassed and said, "That, what." When I took it, someone touched me from behind, and with a shake of my hand, I shook the box of cakes. The appearance of the cake is gone. I thought they wouldn't be able to sell well if I stayed in the store, so I paid for it. Although the appearance is not good, it does not affect the food. ”

As if to prove that this really did not affect the taste, Xiao Xiao took a spoon and dug a spoonful to eat first. This kind of boxed cream cube usually contains two small rectangular cakes (in fact, it is a larger square cake with two pieces).

The cake is divided into two layers, evenly placed on top and bottom, with a thin layer of cream in the middle. This is followed by a thick layer of cream on top of the cake, a simple decoration with a piping bag, and a sugar cherry as a garnish.

It is called a cream cube, but it is actually the most common cream cake. It's just that the cream cake is made small and made into a portion suitable for one person.

Zhang Tong liked to eat this kind of small cake very much when he was a child, and he watched Xiao Xiao dig a bite and then took a bite himself.

Well, the cake is ok, but it's creamy. If you eat too much, it is a little greasy, and it is refreshing to eat without the cream sold by the ruby that opened next to it. The taste is okay, but the taste is on the heavy side, and it is another delicious taste, which is in a different direction from ruby.

But also, Apple Garden has always pursued cost-effectiveness. His family's cakes and bread can be said to be the cheapest among the bakeries in Huaihai City, especially among the large-scale chain bakeries.

The cream cube sold by Ruby next to it is delicious, but the price of one box can be bought in Apple Garden. So there's nothing to compare and ask for.

However, compared to Zhang Tong's tasting, Xiao Xiao's eyes instantly lit up after taking a bite of the cream Xiaofang.

The sweet and milky taste always brings an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and happiness. Sweets give people a sense of pleasure that salty foods can't, these are two completely different switches in the human body.

In this way, the two found a place to sit and eat in the West Palace, not far from the Caoyang Road subway station. And the West Palace is also the destination of Zhang Tong's visit this time. There is a small wholesale commodity market outside the West Palace, while there is an artificial lake and a talent recruitment market outside the West Palace.

Usually it is very lively, and many people looking for a job will come to Nishinomiya to see if there is a suitable job for them.

Sitting on a stool next to the artificial lake, he ate the cream cube that was not very good, and looked at the artificial lake at the same time.

"Do your family know about your participation in this competition?" Zhang Tong chatted with Xiao Xiao without a match, after all, he ate other people's cakes.

Xiao Xiao's eyes pressed when she mentioned her family, and she poked the cake with a spoon and said, "I don't have any family members." It was just my mom, but she disappeared years ago. ”

"Ahh Zhang Tong didn't expect to step on a landmine in his first sentence, and he didn't know how to say it for a while. It seems strange to say this.

"Mom must have crossed over, and now the traversers are starting to return. I think my mom will be back soon!" Xiao Xiao was so convinced, and her tone was very firm.

Zhang Tong's hand trembled slightly, and then he gently dug a spoonful of cream cake and ate it, and said, "So Xiao Xiao, your life?"

"After my mother disappeared, I was sent to an orphanage. Xiao Xiao said generously, without any concealment: "I have lived in an orphanage for several years. But this year I left the orphanage. ”

"Leave?"

"yes, I'm sixteen. And it's especially edible, and it's a lot of trouble for the aunts to lick when they stay in the orphanage. I can work on my own!"

"What about reading?"

"My academic performance was very bad, and after I went to junior high school, my score in the high school entrance examination was very low, and I couldn't enter high school. Xiao Xiao said.

But Zhang Tong could only sigh in his heart, everything Xiao Xiao said was very simple. Tell everything lightly, but who knows how much story there is behind it?

"And what do you do?"

"I would like to do any job that can be asked of me to do a little part-time job. Xiao Xiao didn't mention what to eat, probably because she knew that this request was a bit excessive.

"I used to be a cleaner at a big real estate agency. ”

"And now?"

Speaking of which, Xiao Xiao seemed to be in a lower mood, and she was not even in the mood to eat cake.

"The real estate business has not been good this year, and they have relocated and laid off employees. I was just fired a little over a week ago. I'm looking for a job now, but a lot of people look at me and say I'm too young to use me. ”

"But today I was really lucky! I just won the Big Stomach match. There's a bonus of five thousand dollars, and there's money to pay for months of rent. There is also a year of bento to eat, and I can look for a job in a good way. ”

"I couldn't study, so I wanted to find a job where I could learn a trade. What kind of steamed buns, dumplings, wontons or something. Later, I learned that I could open a small shop on my own. Xiao Xiao's mood is better again, she is really strong as a weed.

She smiled and said to Zhang Tong: "Boss Zhang, I will work hard to learn from you in the future and become a good person like you!"

Zhang Tong smiled: "So you just bought a cake and took me to Xigong to sit, are you here to look for a job in this talent market?"

"Hmm. Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously.

Zhang Tong stood up, and then asked Xiao Xiao in a very serious tone: "Then I think you don't have to look for it." ”

"Huh? Why?"

"I have a job here, are you interested?"
