Chapter 23: Midpoint (1)

Qianqiu has many indescribable memories of the city of Hangzhou, after all, she has been in this city for nearly four years, and it is her second hometown. She told Qinghe a lot of things about Lin Chenhao, but she didn't tell him that she once knew a girl in the next class at school, and that girl was transferred in the third year of high school, an art student, without many friends, and always stayed alone in the small garden of the school to read comics, which was incompatible with the school where the learning atmosphere was extremely tense. I don't know why, she always wants to get close to her, and after getting acquainted with her a little bit, they will occasionally talk together about the trivial things that have happened recently, the wild cats they met on the road or the troubles that happened to the teacher during class, and after they finished speaking, the two would often look at each other and smile. The period of high school was the happiest time for Qianqiu, carefree, and she didn't have to think too much about her family like she does now. After graduating from high school, Chiaki found that she didn't leave each other's contact information, always thinking that she would see her tomorrow, but one day, they would leave this school and never see each other again, so that they lost contact after graduation.

"I don't know how she's doing now......" Zhao Qianqiu stood by the window and sighed. Her friendship with that person was fleeting like fireworks, and although she didn't know what happened to her, she vaguely felt that that person was different from her ordinary self.

After returning from Hangzhou, it took Qianqiu several days to put her heart away, and when she was the only one left in the house, she began to feel extremely lonely.

"What have you been doing lately?" She was lying on the bed and sent a message to Xue Linyang.

"At work!" Ding-dong, and she received a reply quickly.

"Going to work?" Zhao Qianqiu originally thought that the most leisurely person she knew should be Xue Linyang, but she didn't expect her to start going to work so soon, and it wasn't long after the radiotherapy ended. Because her hair was still very short, her inferiority complex grew from within, and she was even afraid to go out like this, but she went to work so generously.

"Well, I went back to my original company, and now I have changed my clerical position, and I usually have nothing to do, it's almost the same as staying at home......" Xue Linyang was even playing a small game when she replied to Qianqiu, because she knew her physical factors, the company transferred her position, and she usually didn't have anything to do, just send emails, and then take the time to answer a phone call or something. Of course, this job looks good, but it is actually an idle job, and there is basically no prospect for development. But Xue Linyang's mother felt that she didn't want her daughter to be rich and rich, as long as she was safe.

"I'm so envious of you, I'm wondering if I'm going to have to change too. I can't keep guarding the grocery store all the time, there are fewer and fewer people here, business is getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid I won't be able to support myself for a long time. Qianqiu was a little hesitant, she didn't mention these to Qinghe, but told Xue Linyang first.

"In that case, do you want to take advantage of this time to learn something, such as Chinese and Western pastry or floral art, and after learning it, you can open your own shop in the future. Besides, you're so good at cooking, opening a specialty restaurant is a good idea. Xue Linyang's suggestion is more pertinent, what she said is not that she has not considered it, it seems to be good to be an apprentice or something in the store, after all, he is still young now, and he learns things relatively quickly. But if that's the case, she's worried that her body won't be able to bear it, like the last time she just walked in West Lake for a few hours, she felt very tired.

"Well, I think so, you can consider taking a look, hehe......" That being said, Qianqiu didn't have a bottom at all. She thought a lot about what to do and what she wanted to do when she was hospitalized, but for a person who has not graduated from college, it seems that it is not easy to find a stable and idle job. Although her relationship with Qinghe is one step closer, she always feels that she can't always spend his money, and it will inevitably be very difficult to rely on him alone to support a large family. The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had to do something......

"Eh, I was found playing a small game at work, and I was called to the office by the leader, so I went to ...... first" Just as Zhao Qianqiu was hesitating, Xue Linyang sent such a message coldly.

"Hurry up, be careful next time." Qianqiu gave her a reply, but seeing that she didn't reply, it is estimated that she may be in dire straits now.

"Oops, I've had so much fun these days that I forgot something serious...... Zhao Qianqiu suddenly frowned, "Since I already know that my father is in this city, is it necessary for him to get back the money he used to sell Wanyu, looking at what he is wearing now and the car he drives, it is estimated that his life is not bad...... It's just that his kind of rotten person is very likely to have spent that money a long time ago, even if he really has money now, it is estimated that it will be even more difficult to get the money back from him than to ascend to the sky...... It seems that the top priority now is to find something to do first. ”

After a whole day of careful consideration, Zhao Qianqiu finally found a foolproof solution, which is to learn things online, and the time can be controlled freely, and it will not affect the transportation of Wanyu to the school. There is a kitchen in the house, the tools are relatively complete, it seems to be a good workshop, she can start from the middle point, after all, she has a bit of a foundation, and it should not be very difficult to learn

As long as you set a small goal and learn one or two kinds of dim sum every day, you should learn a lot in a few months. Chinese dim sum is mainly divided into several kinds: steamed buns, dumplings, spring rolls, pastries, cakes, etc., the so-called ever-changing is inseparable, as long as the foundation is mastered well, slightly change the filling or flour matching, you can make different things.

After doing so, that night, she watched a lot of videos about making dim sum, which seemed so simple that she even wanted to give it a try, and as soon as Qinghe went to work the next day, she secretly went out to prepare the ingredients needed for the pastry. Because there are many kinds of things to buy, and they are also very detailed, she spent a lot of time, and when she got home, it was almost ten o'clock, but fortunately Qinghe didn't go home at noon, so she planned to eat something to deal with it.

"The scariest thing is a whim!" Mom once said so, but it is very appropriate to describe the current Qianqiu.

Qinghe recently got off work a little later than before, plus he didn't have to go out to buy groceries and pick up Wanli, his time was freer, and in order to learn more experience, he also began to put his focus on work, to make up for the previous boss to take care of himself.

"Qinghe, you're back!" As soon as he came back from home, he saw Qianqiu greeted him with a smiling face.

"What's wrong? I always feel that you are different from usual......" Qinghe was stunned for a while, and reached out to touch Qianqiu's face, "Wanli Wanyu, they will take it back, the weather is not very good in the next few days, you don't go out, I will come back from work early......"

"I made steamed buns at home today, there are several kinds of fillings, and the little ones are already waiting there with chopsticks, just waiting for you to come back for dinner......" Chiaki's eyebrows fluttered as she said this, as if she had discovered some new continent.

"Made buns? Do you have any ingredients for making steamed buns at home? Qinghe frowned, but he didn't say it explicitly.

"That'...... That one...... Just went out for a while...... I'm not particularly bored at home, so I want to do something at home to pass the time......" Qianqiu hesitated a little when she spoke, afraid that Qinghe would be angry because of this.

"Okay, I don't blame you, I don't restrict your freedom, you're still recovering, just rest at home like you used to." Qinghe patted Qianqiu on the back, and then took Qianqiu's hand and walked to the kitchen, "I made several kinds of fillings, what are they?" ”

"Three fresh buns, beef vermicelli buns, barbecued pork buns and soup buns...... The first time the dough was made, it was quite a novelty, and after adding yeast, a small dough could become so big and fluffy, and it felt very cute...... "When she spoke, Chiaki even gestured with her hand, and it was so cute.

"Oh, we are so powerful, it takes people months to learn the steamed buns that can be made, and you can learn it in one day." Qinghe nodded, although it sounded like he was complimenting people, he always felt that he was not saying good things.

"It's a little worse, although the filling of the bun is the soul, I still have a little confidence in the filling inside, and the noodles are also good, but the sealing technique is a little not very good, and it should be slightly better if you practice a few more times." The meaning of Qianqiu's sentence is that the taste is okay, but the appearance is a little bad, and it is still a little unproductive.

"Brother Qinghe, you are so slow, Wan Yu is hungry...... As soon as Qinghe entered the kitchen, Wan Yu began to complain, although Wan Li on the side did not say anything, but nodded very approvingly.

"You two are really the kings of the show, you have been waiting here so early, have you finished your homework?" Qinghe sat down in the place where he usually sits, and now that everyone has arrived, he must be able to start eating.

"It's written in school, sister, hurry up and bring the buns, we'll be ......hungry until we wait," after answering Qinghe's words, Wan Yu roared loudly, hoping that he could start the meal now.

"Because the buns are all mixed together, I don't know which one or the other, and it will all depend on luck when the time comes......" Qianqiu first brought a pot of red bean soup that had been cooked in advance, because the cooking time was a little early, and now it has become warmer, and after each person served a bowl, she successively brought up the steamed buns of different sizes with the steamer.

"Then I'll be the first person to eat crabs...... Qinghe picked the smallest one and put it in his bowl, because he was worried that it was a soup dumpling, he poked it with chopsticks in advance, and saw that no soup came out, so he stuffed the bun into his mouth.

"What did you eat?" Qianqiu's hand for Wanli to clip the bun stopped, and she was still more curious about this matter.

"It's a little spicy, and there are vermicelli, it should be a beef vermicelli bun, that's right......" Qinghe swallowed the bun in three or five clicks, and soon sandwiched the second bun that looked a little weird. This time, I poked it with chopsticks, and a lot of water flowed out, and I guessed with my toes what kind of bun it was.

"Well, you chopped your minced meat yourself?" There are still some differences in the taste between machine-ground meat and hand-minced meat, and hand-minced meat tastes more chewy, but because it takes more work, almost all breakfast shops that sell steamed buns are machine-wrenched. And now the inside of the mouth is obviously different from those buns, and it can be quickly judged that the filling is chopped by hand.

"No, it's just to let the proprietress who bought the meat take the time to help me chop it, she helped me wash it beforehand, and there is absolutely no hygiene problem...... "In fact, the proprietress cut it is still relatively thick, and she chopped it again after taking it home, but it is better for her not to let Qinghe know about this kind of thing, otherwise she will have to worry about it later."
