"You must have the skills to draw." He saw Xiao Zi decorating the cake. "I used to do interior design." She devotes herself to decorating the cake as if it were a work of art. "This is the most beautiful cake I've ever seen, I just said a rough idea, I didn't expect it to be processed like a work of art by you." Shao Kai looked at her carefully and smiled at her, "You can surpass me soon." ”

"The teacher has won the prize." Xiao Zi smiled indifferently and continued to make cakes. At the end of class, he walked over and greeted Xiao Zi, "This lesson is almost over today, have you ever thought about opening a bakery by yourself?" Xiao Zi can't say that he didn't have this idea, but he hasn't planned it so quickly, "Well, I have thought about it." ”

"There is just an opportunity, I have an apprentice who wants to invite me to open a bakery, you are also from Xizhou, do you want us to open a joint stock together?" Shao Kai suddenly proposed an invitation to open a bakery, Xiao Zi was a little unexpected, "This, I have to go back and think about it." ”

"There's no urgency, you think about it. If you merge shares, you don't need to contribute much, and the dividends will still be yours. "Shao Kai's conditions are more generous, she can't help but be a little excited, she really enjoys spending every day in the fragrance of bread." Next week we have a final debrief, and each student can invite their family members to come and share it. He helped Xiao Zi pack up his tools, Xiao Zi thought it was a good idea, and nodded in agreement.

At the end of the graduation report, Xiao Zi made a wedding anniversary cake for his parents, and the delicate decorating was immediately applauded by the whole house and got the highest score in the class. "In order to reward Xiao Zi, I have a gift for your family here." Shao Kai took out a bamboo cage drawer from a steamer and lifted the lid. Xiao Zi was surprised, "Wow, Xiaolongbao." ”

"I made it myself, you haven't eaten it in a long time." He smiled and brought the cage drawer to her and her parents. Xiao Zi tasted a few with his parents and invited other classmates to share them together. "It's amazing, it tastes so authentic." Since Xiao Zi left Xizhou, he has never eaten such an authentic xiaolongbao. Xiao Zi's parents also nodded straight after eating, and Xiao Zi's mother smiled when she saw Shao Kai, "Teacher Shao, have you got married?" ”

Shao Kai smiled and shook his head, "Not yet." Xiao Zi's mother looked him up and down, smiling all the time, "With such good cooking skills, who is really happy to marry you." She turned to Xiao Zi, "According to the current statement, this is a warm man." Xiao Zi knew what her mother was thinking, "Mom, what are you thinking?" ”

"Mother Xiao, I am also from Xizhou." Xiao Zi's mother was pleasantly surprised, "That's great." ”

"My apprentice invited me to go back to Xizhou to open a bakery, and I wanted to invite Xiao Zi to partner together." Unexpectedly, Shao Kai said straight to Xiao Zi's mother. Xiao Zi's mother nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, we agree, how much money is going to be paid into the shares, we will out." ”

"I don't have much money, I mainly like Xiao Zi's strong design skills and good craftsmanship. Let's give her more dividends. Shao Kai spoke, gentle and elegant, and Xiao Zi's mother kept a smile on her face when she heard it, "Okay, please bring my daughter more in the future." Shao Kai again

After chatting with Xiao Zi's mother for a while, Xiao Zi saw her mother smiling from ear to ear. It doesn't matter if she goes back to open a store, she finally has a career she likes, and after Xiao Zi went back, she counted the savings she had. According to Shao Kai's budget, she still had more than enough funds to invest in the shares, so she sent him a message back and was willing to cooperate with him.

After the two sides signed an agreement, Xiao Zi finally embarked on the journey home with his dream. "I'll carry it." After saying goodbye to her parents, Shao Kai helped her carry her luggage onto the plane. "Have you come up with a name for the bakery?" He asked, turning his head.

"I'm only a minority shareholder, so you should think about it."

"It's better for you to have a name, I think you will be more creative if you study art."

"Then call it Twilight. When the morning rises and the twilight rises, don't forget each other. She casually thought of a word, and Shao Kai exclaimed again and again, "This name is so good, just call it this." ”

The bakery is located at the entrance of the downtown street in Xizhou New Town, because Shao Kai insisted on requesting, the entire bakery was designed by Xiao Zi himself, with warm yellow and white tones, as warm as home. After the bakery opened, Xiaoli told her friends everywhere, and Shao Kai's apprentices called for a circle, and the business was very hot at the beginning, and the residents of the community within a radius of several miles came to line up, and some drove several kilometers to admire. Xiao Zi is busy from morning to night every day, although the workload is not less than before, but she feels extremely fulfilled and satisfied, watching the guests go away every day, and then watching the repeat customers come in waves, she finds life more and more meaningful.

"Hey, there is a chain bubble tea shop next door, and that brand is endorsed by Wang Yibu, have you bought it?" In the bakery, a few girls were chatting, "It's going to be a few hours." So I'm going to come over and buy some bread mats first. Of course, the content of their chat was also heard by Xiao Zi, so she treated them as if it was nothing, and greeted them with a smile to help them register and pack. Just in time, a worker outside the door carried an oversized human-shaped standing sign and passed by the door of her shop. "Wow, it's him." The girls screamed. "Did you hear about it, he is with Yuan Wenwen now, everyone has no fun." A girl shouted at the screaming girls. "We don't care, I just like him." A few people chattered and hurried to the bubble tea shop. The clerk was a young man, pouting towards the door, "The current star chasers, even seeing a sign are so excited." ”

Xiao Zi smiled, "Young people all have idol complexes. The clerk said happily, "Actually, our store has to thank the guy named Wang He, his endorsement bubble tea shop has such a long queue, and by the way, it also helped us attract a lot of customers." Xiao Zi smiled indifferently, and now the name sounds like a stranger, and she doesn't seem to have any intersection. When she saw the humanoid stand, such a familiar figure, dangling in front of her store, her heart still throbbed, and the thoughts buried deep in her heart were hit with ripples. She looked away, deliberately calming her mind quickly, she still couldn't be immune to his name and his figure. She looked at Shao Kai, who was busy in the oven, she went over to replace him, she was afraid that she would hear another conversation about Wang Yibu in the store

Sky.

"It's not early, you should go back and rest early." When night fell, Shao Kai was still cleaning up in the store, and every time he was the last one to stay, so that Xiao Zi could get off work on time. "I'll help you." She picked up the rag and wiped the workbench, her hand accidentally touched Shao Kai, the two were a little embarrassed, and Xiao Zi retracted her hand like lightning. After she lowered her head and disposed of the workbench, she packed up her things and said goodbye to her back, Shao Kai looked at her back in a daze until she disappeared at the door.

"This is the hot oven mooncake I made." During lunch, Shao Kai would always secretly take out a box of dim sum from the oven like magic, although they opened a Western-style bakery, but he was proficient in Chinese and Western snacks and would make some Chinese dim sum by himself in the bakery, Cantonese style, Su style and so on. These dim sum were delicate and delicious, Xiao Zi felt that Shao Kai cared too much about her, so she shared some of the dim sum with other clerks. Ge Xiaoli is full of praise for Shao Kai, she has grown several catties of meat in white by eating and drinking, and her mouth is like smeared with honey, and she says that Shao Kai is good and that is good in front of Xiao Zi every day. "Why don't you think about him?" Xiaoli finally couldn't help but pull the matchmaker, "Such a good warm man." ”

"It's so good, why don't you think about it yourself first." Xiao Zi ignored her and counted according to the calculator.

"I know, I have a crush, I heard that the senior who had a crush was single." She snickered at Xiao Zi.

"That's hard work." Xiao Zi was surprised. "Then you should work together." Xiaoli hid her face behind the pillow and continued to snicker. Xiao Zi glanced at the pillow, his face was a little wrong, Ge Xiaoli glanced at it, and threw the pillow out in fright, "Oops, I'm sorry." I turned it out in the cabinet today, and I wanted to throw it away, but I forgot it. "That pillow was bought by Xiaoli when she was chasing stars, and the whole pillow is a huge face of Wang Yibu." It's okay, it's all gone. Xiao Zi lowered his head and continued to settle the score. Xiaoli hurriedly disposed of the pillow, and the atmosphere became a little awkward again.

After returning to Xizhou, perhaps because she was too tired at the beginning of opening the store, she fell asleep when she got into bed, and hardly dreamed. In the dream, the face that resembled Wang Yibu loomed, and she wanted to call his name, but she couldn't shout it as hard as she could. Early in the morning, she was the first to come to the bakery, and before the store opened, she was tidying up in the store first, and the signboards and posters had not yet been hung out. An old man with white hair hunched his back slightly and looked inside.

"Uncle, we haven't opened a store yet, what do you want to buy, let's sit in first." Xiao Zi warmly beckoned him in. The old man took a few closer glances at Xiao Zi, nodded, and sat down in a corner, he looked outside for a while, and then secretly looked at him when Xiao Zi turned to work. The clerks all came, "Teacher Shao has a class with his apprentice today for him to make a cameo appearance and ask for a leave." The clerk said to Xiao Zi. He told me the same. She looked at the clock, "It's almost time, hang up all the posters." "Everyone went about their jobs.

Most of the people came to buy breakfast early in the morning, and there were people in the store, and Xiao Zi and the clerks didn't pay attention to the old man in the corner. After 9 o'clock, there were fewer people in the store, and Xiao Zi found that the old man was still sitting in the corner, and he didn't say a word. Shaw

Zizi took a glass of water and went over, "Uncle, do you need anything?" She looked at the old man carefully this time, the old man's clothes were relatively old, the neckline was still a little torn, and a pair of reading glasses were hung on his chest. The old man put on his reading glasses and looked at Xiao Zi, "Thank you, girl, I'll sit down." Xiao Zi smiled at him, "Okay, what do you need to tell me." The old man nodded.

At noon, the old man was still sitting alone, holding a glass of water that Xiao Zi had poured for him. She said to the clerk, "Give Uncle a cake, the kind with less sugar, suitable for the elderly." The clerk brought a cake to the old man, and the old man stood up again and again to thank him. In the afternoon, the old man got up and staggered out of his seat, "Thank you, girl." Xiao Zi smiled, "You're welcome, welcome to come again." ”

The next day, Shao Kai came to the store first, and the old man was already probing his head at the door. "Uncle, what are you looking for?" Shao Kai asked him at the door. The old man looked puzzled, "What about the girl in the store yesterday?" Is she there? Shao Kai thought about it, and estimated that Xiao Zi said, "She hasn't come to work yet." If you're looking for her, then you can sit down first. The old man hesitated a little, and then Xiao Zi appeared, "Uncle, you are here, go in and sit." When the old man saw her, he immediately smiled and nodded, and went to the corner seat and sat down. Xiao Zi brought him a glass of water just like yesterday, "Uncle, if you need to tell me, I'll go and get busy first." The old man nodded, smiling with satisfaction.
