"You," the girl hesitated for a moment, her eyes dazed, "how do you know I haven't eaten?"

The man's eyes were half-down, carefully hiding the light from the bottom of his eyes, his back was slightly tense, he couldn't tell the girl directly, he had to find an excuse to pass by the alley every night to take a look before returning to the store, wouldn't he be regarded as a pervert?

"I just happened to pass by and saw that you haven't gotten off work yet. Shen Ziyi bowed his head slightly, for fear that the girl would continue to ask, and left a sentence before stepping forward, "There is something in the store, go first." ”

"How much..."?

Before he finished speaking, Shen Ziyi had already pushed open the door of the store, leaving a fluttering sentence, "Leave me a breakfast." The figure slowly dissolved into the darkness of the alley, leaving only the creaking wooden door.

The old man standing on the side looked at the hot meal, fish-flavored shredded pork, baby cabbage in soup, and steamed chicken with mushrooms, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the craftsmanship of the hotel chef, not greasy, with meat and vegetables, it looks extraordinarily delicious.

The old man couldn't help but praise him, "Young man, your brother's skills are good, and he is also a good person, and he even brings you food." "There are not many men who can cook these years, and this cooking skill is not bad, and I don't know which girl will be so lucky to marry him in the future?

Lou Qingyu didn't know how to explain the relationship between the two, he said it was a friend, he didn't seem to be so familiar, he said it was a stranger, how could a stranger care so much about whether he ate or not, and finally just responded vaguely, picked up a piece of chicken with wooden chopsticks.

The meat is tender but slightly chewy, the juicy pieces of meat slowly spread between the lips and teeth, pick up a bite of green and white rice, drink a sip of warm hot soup, so that the hungry flat stomach finally has a little satiety, warm current slowly rises from the spleen and stomach, relieving the convulsions caused by long-term hunger.

"Ding"

When the time came, Lou Qingyu cleaned up the leftovers in three or two, put on his clothes and gloves again, and the smell of milk instantly overflowed from the oven, and the whole glass house seemed to be soaked in milk, sweet and soft, fragrant and sweet, people couldn't help but smell the fragrance and move.

A pot full of beige cakes, oval cakes look fluffy, the dense inner core seems to be unusually soft, it seems that you can feel the soft touch of it with a tap, and the cake mold is slowly upside down with both hands.

"Guy, is this done?" The old man didn't know much about baking, and the first time he saw the process of making a cake, he never thought that it would take so long to make a small cake, and he subconsciously touched the wallet in his trouser pocket, not knowing if the money was enough.

"It's not okay, you can wait for me a little longer, it won't be long. The girl's voice was beautiful, cold and elegant, like the occasional cool breeze in the summer night sky, which instantly soothed the old man's anxious mood.

After the cake is completely demolded, the long knife shuttles like a gust of wind, and the even and flat three-layer cake embryo lies down obediently, and the simple white spatula rolls up a large ball of white cream, which hangs on the cake at once.

The girl's long eyelashes hanging down slightly, the movements in her hands did not stop, flattening, smearing, and circling, the original messy white mass, under the girl's combing, evenly covered on the beige "earth" like winter snow, and then the black chocolate fragments were sprinkled down, and the small black flower fragments were smashed out in the snow.

This is repeated until the three cake embryos are neatly stacked together, and the soft cake embryos are stacked layer by layer, and the milky white and jet black can be faintly seen through the gaps, and the two distinct colors are tightly wrapped in the cake embryos, as if they are soil layers from different geologies.

Suddenly, an unprecedented milky white "blizzard" covered it violently, and the bright yellow "earth" gradually lost its original color, leaving only the only color between heaven and earth.

When the blizzard finally stopped, the white "mudslide" that fell from the sky washed the soil again, and the dark brown chocolate liquid trickled out, exuding a mellow chocolate fragrance.

The trickle of liquid slowly flowed to the edge of the cake, mischievously flowing down the vertical "cliff", leaving a mark on the snow-white "cliff" with dark brown water marks, and the whole sea of chocolate glowed with bright colors under the illumination of the light.

A mass of white cream is haphazardly spread on the dark brown layer, and the curved "S" shape is beautiful and smooth, and then it is paired with three small Oreo cookies and chocolate chips, and the most eye-catching part of the whole cake is ready.

That layer of fragrant and silky chocolate is like a flowing liquid, even if you haven't eaten it in your mouth, you can imagine the sweet taste of that layer of chocolate, and it is definitely a favorite of chocolate control!

"Thank you so much, young man, you, you, the cake is really amazing!" the old man was already excited, and his eyes were filled with tears.

I thought it would be nice to get a simple cake, but I didn't expect that the child in front of me spent so much thought and energy to make such a small cake so delicate and beautiful!

Lou Qingyu just smiled, carefully packed this small cake, placed it in a white insulated bag, and delivered it to the old man.

"Baby, how much is this cake?" As he spoke, the old man carefully took out an old cloth bag from his pocket, and a small stack of small pieces of change was pulled out, the largest denomination was only 10 yuan, and more were 1 yuan and 5 yuan.

The small coin was held in the palm of her hand, her fingers curled slightly, she originally estimated that a small cake was about 30 yuan, but looking at the small piece of cake on the counter, as delicate as a doll in a glass window, anyone could see that the value of this small piece of cake was not less than 50.

"Because the cake is relatively small, there are not many ingredients. The pair of crow-like eyelashes blinked lightly, and his voice said an amount of money without hurrying, "I will charge you 20 yuan." ”

The old man's fingertips trembled slightly, and the consternation in his eyes pressed downward, "Baby, this, are you sure you are not wrong?"

"That's right, 20 is just right. ”

The girl's smile was faint, a pair of black eyes were full of sparkling light, the old man's heart seemed to be hit by this smile, he blinked his sour eyes sluggishly, his nose was a little sour, and he couldn't help but hold Lou Qingyu's hands, "Baby, you, thank you so much..."

Lou Qingyu lowered his head slightly, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Old man, don't say so much, go and get it to your granddaughter, the cake won't taste good if it melts." ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

In addition to saying thank you, the old man really didn't know what to say, from the nervousness at the moment of entering the store, the anxiety and urgency halfway, to the current full of gratitude, the change in mood was just because of a small cake.

Seeing the old man leave, the girl's dark eyes flashed with a hint of waves, if she originally opened a bakery just to make money and pay off her debts, then when she saw the happy and satisfied smiles on the faces of customers, there were also a trace of warm memories left by those customers.

The original intention seemed to deviate slightly, but this deviation did not seem to be bad to her.
