Chapter 7: Honey Tart

Under gentle moonlight, the Apex Hotel is located in the heart of a thriving business district with a lot of traffic in front of it.

At this time, a yellow taxi stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and a woman in her twenties walked down from the car, the woman was wearing a simple black lace knee-length dress, with slightly curly brown hair, and a little makeup on her face.

And this woman is He Shenge.

After getting out of the car, He Shenge looked up.

The sixty-three-story Apex Hotel was like a black iron vine rising from the ground, twisting and wound around the pillar of light and plunging into the sky.

When the elevator reached the 32nd floor, she walked into the hotel restaurant and told the hostess of her intentions, and the hostess took her to a low wooden sofa in the lobby.

A moment later, Lorraine, dressed in a black dress, walked over with a drink in a relaxed manner.

Tall but bumpy, with delicate and smooth skin, long wavy dark brown hair that shone with a faint golden glow under the chandelier of the dining room, this is a woman who has a charm more than Pu'er tea and is more intoxicating than rum.

In the past, He Shenge always told her that people who have such a proud figure and fairy beauty should make full use of it, such as going to the entertainment industry, then he must be a person who is popular with half the sky, but Luo Lin Lin doesn't want to, she thinks that life earned by age is short.

After graduating from high school, Lorraine Lin found her own way, she wandered in various sales industries, with her appearance and eloquence step by step to become a professional salesperson, and now she has been in the society for seven years, and came to the Apex Hotel in Shenzhen as a hotel manager.

In fact, He Shenge knew that she was not satisfied.

Luo Lin pushed the drink in front of He Shenge and looked at her: "You seem to be tanned." ”

"I'll come back in vain later. He Shenge looked at the classical cup on the black glass round table, overlooking the cup surface like Bitan, looking at Tan Di with a clear stream, and a slice of lime inserted on the edge of the cup: "This is delicious, sweet and sour, and has a little wine flavor." ”

"Lime, cocktail. Lorraine said in a straight position.

He Shenge looked around, and there was a foreign girl playing the violin on the stage, and the sound of the piano seemed to be Cleo in the muse slowly narrating the long history.

"Last time I went to Inner Mongolia with Gu Li, how was the fun? Did you do it with him?" Luo Linlin's red lips hooked slightly to the left.

She rolled her eyes: "No, he takes his work very seriously, his whole heart is on work, how can he think about anything else." ”

"Lonely men and widows, living in the same room, there is no righteous man and gentleman in the world, I don't believe he has no thoughts about you. Luo Lin stared at He Shenge.

"Not really. He Shenge drank it all in one gulp as he spoke, and looked at Luo Linlin with a smile: "Another cup!"

"Come on, you can't drink as much. This is a modified version of the mojito, the alcohol content is a little higher than the normal one, the bartender here makes it homemade, and the name Lime Green is because, people who have drunk it, say that it looks like a lemon-flavored youth. Luo Linlin glanced at her out of the corner of her eye: "Don't divert the topic, you've been talking to him for two years, why haven't you moved at all?"

She looked at the wine glass calmly and said slowly, "He doesn't seem to be interested in me." ”

"Shen Ge, although I haven't seen your family a few times, I always feel that you two are inseparable, you are not small, if you don't like it, it's better to let it go, there is no grass at the end of the world, why hang yourself on a tree, he doesn't say that he is very rich, and he doesn't have a car. ”

Her eyes sank: "I don't care about that. ”

Luo Linlin was a little angry in her heart, but since she knew He Shenge, she knew that this woman was a little too naΓ―ve, fortunately, she has been living in school, and she has worked in school after graduation, at least she will never run into the dye vat of society.

She had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay, you can do it yourself." ”

At this time, a waiter came over, leaned over and whispered to Luo Linlin, "Manager Luo, Mr. Shi is here." ”

Luo Linlin immediately regained her cold look: "Let Luo Kai continue as usual, send him a cup of Karya iced coffee first, and I'll come later." ”

After the waiter left, Luo Linlin turned her neck, looking like she was about to fight: "Shen Ge, I'll go to entertain the guests first, I'll give you some maple syrup cakes and honey pies here, I promise you will definitely like to eat, you don't drink anymore, I don't want you to vomit all over my house tonight, I'll give you a cup of coffee, our Turkish coffee here is a specialty!"

She got up and winked at He Shenge: "Go back to me tonight and talk all night." ”

"Okay, you go and get busy with your business first. ”

He Shenge looked at Luo Linlin's black high heels on the soft Wilton jacquard black-gray carpet, and gracefully walked to the railing outside, where a man was sitting.

At this moment, Luo Lin Lin stood with her back to He Shenge, as if she was chatting with the man, because the restaurant lights were slightly dim at night, He Shenge couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but he was wearing a straight and obedient dark gray suit, and he also carried a notebook to work in this kind of leisure area, obviously a man with a successful career.

Often, this kind of man has a strong attraction to women, but this kind of man has strong self-control, and the general beauty is not enough to make them fall.

However, He Shenge didn't care too much, she had seen countless men coming and going around Luo Linlin, there were many excellent men, and no one really kept her.

After a while, Lorraine brought a tray of cake and a small plate of pie and a cup of coffee.

He Shenge took pictures for the first time, and carefully took a few photos from different angles.

Seeing this, Luo Linlin's face was slightly surprised: "Have you posted too many food statuses on Weibo during this time?"

"So you've noticed that I've been posting a lot of food in a row!I thought you didn't know!" As soon as she said this, she immediately became bright.

"I know, I just didn't give you a thumbs up. ”

"Why don't you give me a thumbs up? Could it be that the food I photographed doesn't look delicious enough? Or is my remark inappropriate? Why are there only a dozen friends who like me?" He Shenge lowered his eyelids, his face full of melancholy.

On the day she came back from Inner Mongolia, the first message she posted about the state of the food got dozens of friends' comments, during which there were also three to five strange friends who came to ask, however, since she returned to Shenzhen, she was busy looking for a house, and the updated food was a small restaurant everywhere.

She thought that the food was not special enough, and she wanted to come to her best friend Luo Linlin's hotel tonight, after all, the restaurant food of the Apex Hotel was one of the top restaurants in Shenzhen, so she rushed to come with great interest.

Luo Linlin poked her forehead: "I said you, you are idle during the summer vacation, right?"

"No, it's not. He Shenge looked at the photo, put down the phone with satisfaction, and his tone was very flat, as if he was saying something insignificant: "I have resigned and quit, today I have moved out of the teacher's apartment, looking for a house in Shenzhen in the past two days, sure enough, it is not easy to find a house in Shenzhen, my legs are broken, and the weather is hot." ”

"You resigned?" Luo Linlin's eyes widened: "You came back from Inner Mongolia and told me to resign?"

"No, I quit before I went. ”

"You're not actually a teacher? Didn't you still say that you would continue to strive for the examination system? Aren't you preparing to take the second-level title teacher? Why did you suddenly ......?"

Luo Lin Lin looked surprised, as far as she knew, He Shenge was a gentle and demure woman, and her life had always been as calm as water, it happened that He Shenge was a little luckier, and it was quite smooth sailing along the way, except that after she came out to work, He Shenge, a person with bad eyes, met Shen Xiuyan, a scumbag, in college.

Ignoring his best friend's surprise, He Shenge, who was salivating over the cake in front of him, only wanted to eat it.

A rectangular white porcelain plate sits a cylindrical maple cake, the size of a cupcake, with a thin layer of maple syrup drizzled over it, a chocolate carving and half a strawberry on top, and a few green leaves on the side of the cake as a foil.

He Shenge, who has a sweet tooth, couldn't wait to dig a small piece with a spoon, but he didn't think that there were nuts and some small pieces of fruit hidden in it.

At the entrance of the cake, the syrup immediately melts into water on the tip of the tongue, the sweetness swirls in the mouth, the outer layer of cream is very thin, with a faint cheese flavor, the entrance is silky, and the nuts and fruit pieces dilute the sweetness, but bring a hint of freshness.

"It's delicious. He Shenge tasted it again with great satisfaction.

The sweet and greasy taste suddenly diluted her sadness because of the low like rate on Weibo, and sure enough, food is the most healing thing.

"You remember to eat. ”

"You have a bite too. He Shenge dug up a spoonful of cake and handed it to Luo Linlin.

Luo Lin shook her head: "During work, I can't eat it, and I don't like to eat cakes, it's too tired." ”

"Only people who live hard love sweets. ”

"Don't talk about this, I was busy in Guangzhou in the first two months, I didn't have time to make an appointment with you, I don't know what happened to you, if you have any difficulties, you have to tell me, you call, I will definitely answer it." ”

He Shenge licked the spoon, still unfinished: "I don't have any difficulties, the debts of my family before, I have paid off my work in the past few years, and I resigned because of myself." ”

"Yourself?"

"I didn't expect you to come to Shenzhen to work, in fact, I was already planning to work in Guangzhou. ”

Hearing this, Luo Linlin breathed a sigh of relief: "You have always been a safe person, when you fall in love, it's like having no brains, to put it bluntly, you just want to have a relationship with Gu Li." ”

He Shenge smiled: "Yes, I want to get married." ”

"I hate to marry a woman. Lorraine was a little helpless.

"No, I just think it's time. ”

"You can't choose to settle just because you're old, no matter what, you can settle for money, at least you don't have a love marriage, and money makes you get a different kind of happiness. Lorraine looked serious.

He Shenge's smile deepened: "You seem to be worshipping money more and more." ”

"Don't take my words seriously, when you get married in the future, hold a wedding banquet or wear a beautiful wedding dress, but the man can't come up with the money, don't cry with me." ”

"You're like my mother. ”

"I'm here for your good. ”

"I know, don't worry, I just want to get to know him before marrying him, after all, marriage is not child's play, right? ”

He Shenge licked the spoon and looked at the plate of fried yellow pie next to the cake, which looked a bit like fried bread cubes from the outside.

Lorraine Lin next to her saw her expression, so she recommended to her: "Honey pie, this is a must-have wedding dessert for Greek weddings. ”

This is the case with the city of Shenzhen, where you can enjoy a variety of cuisines with a mix of foreign influences, but local cuisine is hard to find.

"Your team building activities are enviable!" He Shenge said enviously, picking up a knife and cutting a small piece of the pie in his hand without hurry.

From the cut in the pie, you can see that there is something white inside, like yogurt.

When He Shenge chewed it, she realized that this was not the kind of fried bread cube she understood, but fried cheese! The exterior was fried to a crispy edge, but the inside was tender and smooth cheese, and what lingered on the taste buds was a sweet and salty taste.

"Sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter, like the tears of lovers, no wonder it's a wedding dessert. He Shenge commented.

"In the future, you and the ancient lance wedding dessert will be recorded in this, and I will bring you the pastry chef when the time comes. Lorraine Lin realized: "Your latest update is to prepare wedding desserts? you don't have to hate marriage so much, right?"

"No, do I hate to marry so much? You are not in a hurry, what am I anxious about?" He Shenge was said to be ashamed.

"Tsk, I'm determined to be a strong woman, you are determined to be a housewife, can it be the same?"

"Who said I was going to be a housewife?"

"Then what do you want to be? A generation of famous teachers? Aren't you not a teacher?"

He Shenge picked up a piece of pie and smiled: "Be a foodie and eat all the food in the world." ”
