The magic capital of China

In the early morning, the light shines through the city, passing through the high-rise buildings, and the summer heat fills the city as the sun rises.

Dongmen Street, which had been quiet all night, gradually became lively, office workers who hurried to the company, students who walked with people with schoolbags, and breakfast shops that opened the door and shouted, all of which were the normal state of the magic capital every day.

The noise of Dongmen Street seemed to disturb the residents of Ender Alley, the sound of doors being opened and shut, and the clatter of steps on the floor and stairs gradually broke the quiet atmosphere of the alley.

Pedestrians on the street casually looked in, and quickly withdrew their gaze.

The mottled walls and old paths, the uncleaned psoriasis sticking to the stone bricks, and the garbage bags in the corners that have not yet had time to be cleared do not fit in with the street around the corner.

It's a small old town hidden behind the modern city.

According to the grapevine, the government will re-plan this year, maybe it won't be long before it will be demolished, maybe in a few years, it will be a high-end community rising from the ground.

In such an ordinary and ordinary alley, there are no tourists, no hustle and bustle, only a tall camphor tree.

Before the arrival of summer, clusters of fine and soft yellow-green flowers have been drawn, and a faint fragrance wafts into the air.

The fragrance of flowers and trees emitted by the camphor trees is not surprising to the residents in the alley of Ande, but a new shop not far from the corner has attracted a lot of attention.

It was originally a noodle shop, which was run by an old couple, but unfortunately the business was not good, and it was closed quickly, and no one has taken a fancy to this shop since then, and it has been vacant for more than half a year.

It wasn't until two weeks ago that the arrival of renovation workers made the residents know that the shop had been rented.

The residents glanced at the small shop as usual, and their eyes must have been, the small shop seemed to be....

"Hey, the signboard is ready?"

The others couldn't help but cast curious glances, they had been curious for a long time, what kind of store would the rented person open?

What the hell do you think, how did you open in this alley, it's old and old, and there are no people, except for the cheap rent, there is no benefit.

Someone raised his eyes to look at the sign on his head, and chewed on the five words in his mouth, "Alley Bakery?"

"Listen to the name, is it a cake shop?"

"Pretty much, baking is the kind of cake making and bread making. ”

The shop has been fitted with red canopies and wooden signs, and the walls are covered with green vines, slightly obscuring a wood-framed window in the center of the wall, and a row of small flower pots are placed under the windows, and the colorful flowers add a bit of summer atmosphere.

Two sets of rattan tables and chairs are placed on the wall, and a pot of green succulent is placed on the table, the color is simple but stylish.

At the moment, the wooden door of the small shop was closed, and only a cute cat rug and a small blackboard were erected in front of the door.

A few lines of words are written on the dark green blackboard in light white chalk, "The alley bakery is open from 8:30am to 18:30pm, and the cherry mousse cake is available today", the font is flowing and the lines are smooth, so that passers-by pause for a few seconds.

"Doesn't anyone like cake here, does it?" said an old man in his fifties, dressed in a plain shirt, standing in front of a small blackboard.

Originally, he was attracted by the flowing handwriting, but when he came back to his senses and saw the contents, he couldn't help but mutter.

A few friends on his side also came over at this time, squinted their eyes, and followed suit.

"Isn't it, we old guys can't get used to eating these things, it's sweet and greasy, this shop doesn't take long..."

"Well, let's go, stop standing here and talk about others, go to the park and play chess. ”

"That's right!"

The originally lively doorway was quiet again, and through the wooden door, the sound of "Dangdangdang" faintly came from inside, as if it was the sound of metal colliding.

On a white countertop, a silver plate is placed with delicate and lovely desserts, such as a square cake in the color of cherry blossom pink, which is exuding a rich cheese aroma, and a jelly-like surface inlaid with several small cherry fruits, which is the "cherry mousse cake" written on the blackboard.

"Ding"

Behind him, the huge oven on the cabinet made a crisp sound, and through the glass, you could faintly see the browned pieces of croissants baked in the oven.

The lid was quickly pulled down by a white finger, and the other hand with thick gloves took the plate out, and a rich smell of bread erupted from within.

The croissant on the edge was picked up, and the corner of the bread was bitten into a small bite, and the rich milky aroma bloomed in the mouth, and the surface of the burnt bread was crisp and refreshing.

After a long time, a cold voice sounded in the silent shop, "It should be almost." ”

The clear voice is like a cold spring in a mountain stream, clear and beautiful, which is a sound that no voice can resist.

Listening to this voice, the person who spoke was very young, and the male and female voices made it impossible to identify the gender, suspected of being a good-speaking teenager?

With a "squeak", the wooden door of the small shop was finally opened, and the sunlight outside the door sneaked in, scattered on the light wooden floor of the house, and the warm yellow lights in the house were lit up, and it seemed that it was open.

With it, bursts of rich bread aroma wafted in the air, and even spread to Dongmen Street not far away, and passers-by passing through Ande Alley were quickly attracted by this fragrance.

After looking around, his eyes quickly fell on the small shop, where two young women walked to the door of the shop together, and the smell of the bread from the baking became even stronger.

The tip of the shoulder-haired woman's nose moved, and she turned her head sideways and said to her companion, "It's so fragrant!"

The short-haired woman's gaze fell on the small blackboard in front of the door, and she whispered softly, "Alley Bakery, this name is so interesting!"

The shoulder-haired woman didn't care about these small details, and some couldn't wait to pull her companion's hand and walk into the shop, "Don't care about the name or anything, let's go in and take a look, it's so fragrant, the taste shouldn't be bad." ”

Through the wooden door, you will enter a small 30-square-meter space, with four sets of tables and chairs placed on the right, the chairs are in a simple and fresh style, the snow-white walls are hung with simple oil paintings, and there is a small bookshelf in the corner, full of books and magazines.

Just as the two of them were looking at the small shop, a nice voice came from the right, "Hello, welcome!"

The sound of jade beads falling on the plate made the two women turn their heads sideways, this sound is too good, right?

The next moment, the two of them looked stunned.

A figure in a white uniform stood behind the cash register, a young man who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and his male and female features made the two of them breathe for a while.

The fair skin is as crystal as snow jade, the neat short hair reveals the delicate facial features, the high nose bridge, the good-looking red lips, the heroic eyebrows, and the broken hair hanging down on both sides vaguely covers the smooth forehead.

The eyes of the two young women couldn't help but flash a little amazement, is this a baker?

Is there such a handsome baker?
