Chapter 12: The Breeze on the River
The evening breeze ripples on the surface of the river, and the reflection in the water rises and falls.
On Linjiang Road, Jiang Yi'an, who was riding a battery car to catch up, slowly slowed down.
Under the bright light cast by the street lamps, there is a whistling traffic on one side and a rushing river on the other.
Pushing the battery car onto the sidewalk and leaning against the steps to park, Jiang Yi'an propped his hands on the guardrail and quietly looked at the river.
On both sides of the riverbank, the grass swaying on the slopes gives shape to the wind.
Bai Ze twitched the tip of his nose, and a unique watery smell filled the air.
It stepped on its waist bag, and immediately put on the railing and sat next to Jiang Yi'an.
Jiang Yi'an took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of Jiang Jing and sent them to Su Li.
"Have you ever seen anything like this before?"
After being silent for a long time, Jiang Yi'an looked at the turbulent river and asked this sentence.
The middle-aged woman who happened to pass behind him looked at him in surprise, and then grabbed her son, who was still bouncing, and walked away quickly.
"...... young" "Don't be like him in the future......"
The woman's fragmentary words reached Bai Ze's ears.
Its coiled tail hung down slowly, dangling in the air.
“…… No. ”
Jiang Yi'an smiled, he raised a hand and touched its head, the soft and warm feel made him a little reluctant to let go.
Surprisingly, Bai Ze didn't resist, he just looked at the river like Jiang Yi'an.
After a while, Jiang Yi'an patted Bai Ze gently.
"Let's go, it's time to go home."
He stretched the opening of the bag wide, and Bai Ze immediately jumped in.
Home...... Looking at the gradually elongating reflection under the river, Bai Ze silently shrank back.
Through a thin layer of nylon, a person and a cat feel each other's temperature.
……
"Welcome."
At ten o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yi'an, who was grinding coffee, said without raising his head.
"Brother Jiang, it's me." A somewhat happy male voice came from the doorway.
The familiar voice made Jiang Yi'an stop grinding, and he looked at the door with some surprise.
A teenager with round-rimmed glasses smiled a little shyly.
He is one of the two clerks of the coffee shop, Yuan Hezhen.
"Didn't you say that Number One only came back?" Jiang Yi'an took out an apron from the drawer and threw it to him.
Yuan Zhen took the apron and expertly tied the knot behind him.
"I'll be back a day early when I'm done."
"It's just in time to come back, I'm still worried about getting out, help me make coffee."
Jiang Yi'an walked out of the counter, took off his apron and threw it on the table at the door.
At this time, Bai Ze, who heard the movement, also walked out of the back room, and slowly walked to the wall and ate cat food.
Yuanhe was really a little surprised, "Brother Jiang, do you have a pet?" ”
Without waiting for Jiang Yi'an to answer, Yuan Hezhen had already squatted down and watched Bai Ze eat cat food up close.
"Well, I picked it up a few days ago, don't worry, it doesn't bite."
Jiang Yi'an looked at Yuan Hezhen, who wanted to stretch out his hand but didn't dare to stretch out, and said with some amusement.
Yuan Hezhen slowly put his hand on Bai Ze's back, and the smooth feel made him can't help but stroke a few more times.
"I'll go to the supermarket and buy some whipping cream, and if someone orders a mocha, you tell him to wait."
"Okay, I got it."
After a few more words of advice to Yuan Hezhen, Jiang Yi'an twisted the handle, and the battery car disappeared.
……
"Elevy, Blue Pinwheel, Anchor ......"
Skillfully finding the commonly used brand from the refrigerated cabinet, Jiang Yi'an confirmed the production date.
Picking up two boxes of whipping cream produced in a week, he was ready to go to the checkout.
The shelf life of whipping cream is generally only six months, and if you buy too much, it will affect the taste due to the storage time after use.
So it's just right to buy two boxes of whipping cream like this 1L pack, and if it's fast, it can be used up in a month.
"Do you have a membership card?"
"Nope." Shaking his head, in fact, Jiang Yi'an remembered that there were in the store, but he couldn't remember it.
"I will charge you a total of 131, and take the receipt."
Taking the receipt from the cashier, Jiang Yi'an squeezed out of the crowded crowd at the exit with a box of cream in one hand.
As it approached noon, the temperature gradually increased.
Jiang Yi'an's pace couldn't help but speed up, the whipping cream needed to be kept in a refrigerated environment, but fortunately, he had a thermos box in the car.
returned to the coffee shop unimpeded, and Jiang Yi'an, who was parking outside the store, found that Yu Xuan was also in his shop.
Through the glass, you can see that Yu Xuan is sitting in the hall, looking at the mobile phone on the table and writing something in the notebook from time to time.
With doubts, Jiang Yi'an opened the door with his hand and put the whipping cream on the counter.
wiped his hands with a towel and motioned for Yuan Hezhen to put the whipping cream in the refrigerator.
Yu Xuan is still writing and drawing in the notebook at the moment, and he doesn't know what he is remembering.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yi'an walked up to Yu Xuan and asked puzzledly.
When I took a closer look, I found that Yu Xuan was watching a video with headphones on, no wonder he hadn't noticed it even after walking to his side.
Jiang Yi'an pushed Yu Xuan's shoulder and took off the earphones on one side.
"Look at it, so fascinating."
Jiang Yi'an lifted a chair and sat down next to Yu Xuan.
clicked on the screen, and the name of the video 'Cheese Flowing Heart Sweet Potato Cube' popped up right above, which turned out to be dessert teaching.
Jiang Yi'an sat forward again, and saw that the notebook in Yu Xuan's hand was full of small characters, such as 'sweet potatoes peeled and sliced and steamed', 'butter xx grams' and other steps.
Without waiting for Jiang Yi'an to say anything, Yu Xuan raised his head and looked at him with expectant eyes.
"Brother Jiang, you said that if I made desserts for Qingran to eat, would she be happy?"
Jiang Yi'an touched his chin and replied in an uncertain tone, "It should be...... Yes. ”
"Brother Jiang, teach me!" Yu Xuan grabbed Jiang Yi'an's hands tightly and said excitedly.
When he came here a few times before, he happened to eat desserts a few times in Jiang Yi'an's shop.
Mousse cake, butter cookies...... It's no exaggeration to say that it tastes a little better than a normal bakery.
At this time, Yuan Zhen happened to bring two cups of coffee and put them on the table.
Jiang Yi'an took the opportunity to withdraw his hands and pointed at Yuan Hezhen on the side.
"I don't, if you want to learn to ask him."
Yuan He, who was chuckling, was really surprised by Jiang Yi'an's words, and immediately stood aside a little nervously.
"He makes all the desserts in our store, and if you learn from him, you're looking for the right person."
Although Yu Xuan has been to the coffee shop a few times, he basically has little communication with him, and the relationship between the two is limited to nodding friends.
As if seeing the uneasiness in Yuanhe's heart, Jiang Yi'an stood up and patted him on the shoulder.
"You teach boldly and reassuringly, if he does something wrong, you will scold him directly, and I will support you."
Yuan He really smiled a little wryly, no matter how he didn't scold.
Looking at Yu Xuan's expectant eyes, Yuan He Zhen took a deep breath and calmed down his somewhat apprehensive mood.
"I don't know what you want to learn?"
