Shang Huaiyan rolled his eyes at his phone.

He sent Xiao Song a text message and refused again.

According to Bai Tang's sensitive process, once he accepts this kind of thing, he will be able to come up with the result:

Maybe it was caught by Bai Tang at the scene, and then Bai Tang was hit hard, and since then he has been disheartened and broke up with him, and he has to go away sadly for three or five years......

Thinking of this, Shang Huaiyan hurriedly shook his head.

It's bloody, it's the same as the novel! Anyway, he refuses now, and nothing can happen in the future.

Shang Huaiyan made a decision calmly and happily, and secretly smug his foresight, deciding that as soon as Yi Baitang returned to the room after dealing with the kitchen matters, he would ask him for a small reward.

But this whole night, Yi Baitang never went upstairs to the room.

Halfway through, Shang Huaiyan was bored to design the jewelry, and when he walked out of the room silently several times, he could see the kitchen lights brightly and the sound underneath. He suddenly felt melancholy, and couldn't help but think:

Maybe I'll never be able to compare to the status of food in Bai Tang's heart.

Then again, why should I make an analogy with food......

The morning light on the horizon brightens the grey sky with the rotation of the hour and minute hands.

Although he didn't sleep well last night, the next morning, Shang Huaiyan still continued his physiological habits, woke up at the usual time, washed up and went downstairs, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was stuffed with a mouthful of food.

Shang Huaiyan: "......"

His gaze fell on Yi Baitang's face first, studied it left and right, and was satisfied to find that staying up late at night seemed to be nothing to the chef. The other party is still in good spirits and radiant, and even because of his achievements, the whole person is shining in the early morning time, and he is not affected by today's gloomy weather at all.

He continued to chew his food, feeling his soft tongue squeezing and wrapping the cold spoon, and he wanted to taste the same soft organ as his own......

Then he finally tasted what it tasted in his mouth.

After eating so many good things made by Yi Baitang, this time, Shang Huaiyan was slightly stunned.

"How does it feel?" Yi Baitang asked. He looked at Shang Huaiyan's gaze full of certainty, as if he had already determined that the other party's mouth would not say anything to disappoint him.

"......" Shang Huaiyan tasted it again. At the same time, he was guessing whether Bai Tang had confidence in himself or in him.

Then he saw what he had just eaten.

On the white dinner plate was a long, green and narrow leaf, and on top of the leaf, there was a boxy yellow translucent jelly with a corner missing.

"This tastes ......" Shang Huaiyan pondered it a few times, and to tell the truth, "doesn't it seem particularly good?" ”

Yi Baitang suddenly smiled.

A lazy smile bloomed on his face, and when he raised his eyebrows, he was quite sharp, especially on Shang Huaiyan's face: "Because change is not all about the enjoyment of beauty-"

That's true. But the food should be delicious...... Shang Huaiyan thought in his heart.

"But the food should be delicious." Yi Baitang said to himself, "So in the subsequent menu with this appetizer as the core, I will design it more exquisitely, so that each dish is no longer a separate dish, but can echo back and forth, especially in terms of taste, echoing and defending this appetizer." ”

We think similarly. Shang Huaiyan liked.

"Don't worry, we think similarly." Yi Baitang continued, "But there is indeed a problem here. ”

"What's the problem?" Shang Huaiyan couldn't help but ask. He thought to himself, according to your plan, there is nothing wrong with this dish. Then he suddenly reacted, in the past, it seemed that he had been speculating about Yi Baitang's heart, how could he suddenly become Yi Baitang's inner world in every word?

Shang Huaiyan couldn't help but turn his face to look out of the window.

Outside the window, the sun had not risen in the west, and it had not yet come out of its head.

So this change should be normal and friendly...... Right?

For some reason, Shang Huaiyan was a little weak-hearted.

In order to dispel this unpleasant feeling, he took the initiative to hug Yi Baitang, intending to ask for a good morning kiss that was a little late.

But Yi Baitang frowned and pushed the other party away: "Listen to me." There is indeed a problem here, as you said, the scope of this cuisine is too narrow, it is only suitable for a certain person, or even a certain group. This is not in line with my original purpose......"

"Your original purpose?" Shang Huaiyan quickly recalled, "Make the best cooking? ”

"Make the best food that everyone thinks." Yi Baitang corrected. Then he turned his face to look at the finished product on the table, "But now...... Let's do it first. It can finally make a few people think it is the best. Well, I'm hungry. ”

“…… Okay, you take a break, take a nap, I'll call you after I've made breakfast. Shang Huaiyan reacted quickly, let go of Yi Baitang, walked to the cooking table, and asked, "What do you want to eat in the morning?" ”

"Porridge." Yi Baitang picked a very simple dish.

He yawned, and as he left the kitchen, he took the new leather notebook with him on the table.

The dark blue sofa slanted against the open kitchen.

Yi Baitang nested into the sofa, opened the notebook, and wrote in the notebook while looking at the busy figure in the kitchen:

Axe Zheng Little Sapling Battle Plan 1: Snub the little sapling and arouse the ideological attention of the little sapling.

Uh――

I don't know when the little sapling will find out.

Yi Baitang drew a sinister expression on his notebook, and Shang Huaiyan's voice came from the kitchen: "What is the name of your jelly?" ”

Yi Baitang closed the notebook and said nonchalantly: "The name of that piece of jelly...... Let's call it 'Amber'. ”

Sealed with the crystals of bugs?

In the kitchen, Shang Huaiyan pondered the name given by Yi Baitang and carefully cleaned up the finished products on the table. 'Amber' is condensed from the soup, and now the soup pot is still on the stove and boils slowly, Shang Huaiyan stirred the soup pot with a long-handled spoon, and found that in addition to the common raw materials such as big bones and pig's trotters, there are many strange and strange Chinese medicinal materials.

He slapped the soup into the bowl and tasted it, only to feel the strong bitter taste that instantly lifted his spirits!

…… I see!

Shang Huaiyan suddenly understood the deep meaning of the bitter taste in Yi Baitang's soup.

A soup with a refreshing effect is helping tired people to concentrate and think carefully about life!

Day after day, like page after page on a calendar.

At half past five in the afternoon, the bell for getting off work had already struck a round, and Manager Zhou was still packing up his things in the office.

Her energy has been a little lacking recently, and many things have just been thought about and forgotten, so that her work efficiency has been greatly reduced, and she still has a lot of things to do.

And then things pile up, and it's getting more and more incomplete.

She sighed unconsciously, and before the end note dissipated in the room, a knock on the door sounded, and then Assistant Huang came in:

"Sister Zhou, haven't you left yet?"

"What, what's the matter?"

"That's right, I'm going to a place today, but I don't have a car...... Sister Zhou, can you give me a ride? Assistant Huang was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, where are you going?" Manager Zhou smiled, packed up the last few things, looked at the bag again, and made sure that he had brought everything before standing up.

"Tianya Hotel!" Assistant Huang said busily.

"Nice hotel, what's the matter, there is a happy event?" Manager Zhou smiled.

While talking, the two had already gotten into the car and left the company. There was nothing to say all the way, and when I got to the ground, Manager Zhou had just stopped the car and was about to let the assistant get out of the car, when I saw Assistant Huang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and smiled brightly at her: "Manager, happy birthday!" Thank you for your leadership this year, we have booked a box for you to celebrate—"

Manager Zhou was stunned.

The No. 10 box of the Tianya Hotel is a hall that can accommodate 20 people.

When Manager Zhou entered this hall, the surroundings were dim, which was completely different from the lively scene of the room she imagined, which made her a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

She frowned and turned her head, wanting to ask Assistant Huang what was going on, but she was stunned to find that at some point, Assistant Huang, who was following her, had disappeared.

At this moment, a little light suddenly came on in front of her, and she turned her head a little nervously, and saw a long table covered with a white cloth lit by candles.

Under the candle, the high-backed chair was pulled away, and in front of the chair, a faintly mysterious food appeared in front of her eyes under the flickering candlelight.

It's like a ...... Boxy, bumpy cheese?

In the next second, one candle after another lit up like one after another, and the darkness in the room was dispelled by the soft light source at the moment, and Manager Zhou soon found that there was no one in the hall as she thought, on the contrary, behind the long table, eighteen people in waiter costumes stood behind eighteen candles and lit them one by one.

Then they were silent, bowed to Manager Zhou in unison, and Yuguan walked out of the box, leaving only the last man in a chef's uniform and a chef's top hat.

Manager Zhou was shocked: "...... Begonia? ”

She didn't realize what was going on, and said as she looked around, "What are you guys doing, what about the others?" What about Xiao Huang? ”

Yi Baitang: "Happy birthday, Aunt Zhou." ”

He stood in front of the table and made a gesture of invitation to Manager Zhou: "Your assistant asked me to cook a meal for you, now, you can sit down and taste the appetizer before this meal." ”

Manager Zhou sat down hesitantly.

She looked around again, and suddenly realized that the box was completely decorated, and □□ flowers were blooming in the room, and the floating light and darkness could not prevent the rich fragrance of flowers from filling the ceiling, and the chandelier on the ceiling was adorned with bunches of budding lily of the valley, several of which were long enough to reach as if she could reach them as soon as she stretched out her hand.

She looked ahead again, and suddenly found that among the flowers and leaves, there were many familiar photographs.

She went to school and won an award, she graduated from school, she was commended when she was working, and even she got married happily in a wedding dress!

At the same time as seeing this photo, the tired heart suddenly woke up, and the unwillingness to turn over the river and the sea made Manager Zhou's body tremble slightly, and even accidentally touched the spoon placed on the plate, causing the spoon to fall to the ground, making a crisp "dangchang" sound.

But the next moment, a new spoon was handed to Manager Zhou.

Manager Zhou glanced up at Yi Baitang and repressed the love that had just sprung up in his heart.

She smiled as best she could, and once again set her eyes on the food.

It was a boxy, jelly-shaped, transparent object.

This jelly looks a bit like jelly on the outside, but on the inside it is not as smooth as it gets, with bubbles of different sizes, a bit like cheese, and a bit like a hair cake.

Manager Zhou tried to taste it.

The moment the slightly cool freeze enters the mouth, it melts layer by layer like snow meets the sun, and one layer is a bitter taste.

At this moment, the thick bitterness suddenly diffused from the mouth, from the heart, and from every part of the body.

The spoon in Manager Zhou's hand fell for the second time and smashed on the silver plate, cutting through the mulberry leaves that were padded under the freeze.

"It's unpalatable......" she muttered to herself.

Yi Baitang is calm and calm, and the chance to win is in hand.

The next moment, Manager Zhou silently picked up the spoon and ate the remaining jelly in three or two bites.

Still bitter.

Endless suffering.

There are many changes, but they do not change the root cause of suffering.

Just like her marriage, at the moment of change, she hesitated and hesitated, unable to decide, and had to taste all the bitterness that followed before she was willing and suddenly realized.

Manager Zhou put down the spoon.

For the first time in many days, she had the spirit to pay attention to the smallest things.

She asked Yi Baitang:

"What's the name of the dish?"
