698: He's a man with a story

Soon, two fragrant lattes were served.

According to Linna, the latte is the best coffee she makes.

Lu Ze tasted Xu Hongdou shallowly, while Chen Nanxing watched from the sidelines, of course, she couldn't drink high-strength coffee in her current situation, so it was useless to be pitiful.

Lin Na held the tray in her hand and stood quietly at the table, quietly waiting for Lu Ze's evaluation.

"What do you think... What do you think? ”

Lu Ze smiled and didn't speak, just kicked the ball to Xu Hongdou on the opposite side.

Xu Hongdou pursed her lips and whispered to Lin Na: "Latte is a kind of fancy coffee, and it is the best blend of coffee and milk... The taste is okay, I just think the milk froth may be a bit too much, and the caramel flavor is a little stronger. ”

"But your latte art is beautiful!"

Lin Na silently wrote down what Xu Hongdou said, and planned to improve it later, mainly because the business of the café was not very good, there were not many customers, ordinary customers, even if Lin Na took the initiative to ask, everyone would only politely say that it was good.

It's all good.

How can this be improved?

Lu Ze tasted it lightly, turned his head and smiled: "In fact, everyone's taste is different, and it is difficult to adjust everyone's mouth, just do your best." ”

Lin Na smiled, surprised by Lu Ze's bearing and insight.

This Dr. Lu... It's very different.

Lin Na left quickly, and then she brought a small dessert over and gave it to Chen Nanxing very intimately.

The latter's face was full of surprise, pointed to himself, and said, "Huh? For me? I didn't order it. ”

Lin Na smiled and nodded, and hummed heavily: "I invited them to coffee, so please have a little dessert." ”

"Ahh Thank you~"

In the afternoon, you can chat aimlessly in the café and enjoy the afternoon lazily, this kind of petty bourgeois life is indeed very indulgent, especially when you are accompanied by beautiful women.

Finch's is a treat!

Lu Ze sat by the window, the warm sun was shining, just wearing a single coat, and he wouldn't feel the slightest cold.

After the boss Xie Xiaochun was busy, he also came out to say hello to Lu Ze and them.

Xie Xiaochun is nominally the owner of the courtyard and the café, but in fact, he returned to his hometown to help Xie Zhiyao and help Xie Zhiyao manage the famous industry.

"Although our Yunmiao Village is not very developed, if you live here for a while, you will definitely like it here."

When Lu Ze and Xie Xiaochun were talking, Xie Xiaoxia happened to come back from the wood carving workshop.

He was Xie Xiaochun's younger brother, and he usually helps out at the café when he has free time.

Especially in the past year, the café has an extra front desk and barista Lin Na, so Xie Xiaoxia's time in the café has become longer and longer, and this morning he went to the wood carving workshop very late because he was helping here.

"Stop me."

"I heard Nana say, you didn't go to Master Xie until ten o'clock in the morning?"

Xie Xiaochun, who was still talking to Lu Ze gently, in the last second, his face became extremely serious in the next second.

Xie Xiaoxia also recognized the few people he saw in the wood carving workshop this morning, he lowered his head and walked over reluctantly.

"I just saw that the café was buying goods here in the morning, so I thought that after I finished helping, I would go to Master Xie's place, the wood carving workshop... There was no one in the first place. ”

Xie Xiaochun smiled apologetically at Lu Ze, said goodbye, and called Xie Xiaoxia to the backstage with a cold face.

Lu Ze's expression was normal.

And after Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing glanced at each other, they couldn't help laughing.

"I originally thought that Sister Xiaochun was a gentle southern girl, but I just learned that she would be so fierce."

Xu Hongdou covered his mouth and smiled secretly.

Lu Ze didn't laugh at first, but after hearing this, he also laughed.

"No, Xu Hongdou."

"Why do you call people sister?"

Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Ze with a faint gaze, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Do I look old?

Lu Ze explained: "I mean, people may not be as old as the two of you. ”

Xu Hongdou frowned.

And Chen Nanxing's eyes also widened: "No, didn't Sister Xiaochun just say... Does she have children? ”

Lu Ze glanced at the two of them angrily: "Does that mean anything?" Now there are a lot of divorces after zero, you two workaholics, well... It looks a little outdated. ”

The two girlfriends were very hurt.

Xu Hongdou glared at Lu Ze.

Not long after, when the two of them knew that Xie Xiaochun was really only twenty-eight years old, they were hurt a second time in their hearts, especially when they learned that the latter was now divorced, and the hurt turned into real harm.

"Ugh."

"We're really old!"

When they came out of the café, the two girlfriends lamented the ruthlessness of the years.

Chen Nanxing regretted even more that he didn't experience an unforgettable relationship, and after graduation, he was thinking about making a lot of money, until now he broke his body, holding Xu Hongdou's arm, Chen Nanxing quietly reminded him: "Lu Ze is very popular in Yunmiao Village, you... You need to hold on to him! ”

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou turned his head to look at Lu Ze, who was far behind them.

She couldn't help but gagged: "What are you talking about! ”

Chen Nanxing said sadly: "That is, my sister, my life has come to rest earlier, otherwise I would have launched an offensive a long time ago, and I still need to give you ideas?" Red beans, let me tell you, girlfriends can share anything with each other, except for the object. ”

Listening to Nanxing's words, Hongdou's heart was full of sadness.

"Got it."

In the afternoon, on the streets of Yunmiao Village, there are old ladies dressed in local costumes setting up stalls to sell some handicrafts they have made.

Xu Hongdou squatted down and carefully selected, and fell in love with the quaint hairpin in the stall at a glance.

It's just that when I was communicating with the stall owner, I found that the white-haired old lady in front of me didn't speak Mandarin.

Xu Hongdou hurriedly called Lu Ze, who was slowly walking behind her, and she compared the hairpin to her head: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Lu Ze nodded: "It's pretty good." ”

"You can help me ask how much this thing costs."

On the day he first entered the village, Lu Ze could clearly know that the grandmother passing by was praising Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, and Xu Hongdou later knew that Lu Ze had understood the local dialect before, and no matter what this guy did, he would make people feel very relieved.

Lu Ze quickly communicated with the old lady in front of him.

Although Lu Ze's dialect is also very tongue-twisting, he always knows the general meaning.

"The old woman said that her daughter-in-law went to the ancient town, and she was the only one who set up a stall here, and she couldn't speak Mandarin."

"This hairpin, twenty-five dollars."

After digging out the money, Xu Hongdou couldn't wait to thin up his head full of green silk, coiled it into a simple circle at the back of his head, and his slender and white neck was exposed, and his temperament and style changed abruptly.

Seeing this, Chen Nanxing praised and said, "Red beans, they are really good-looking." ”

"I think you can try the local costumes of the Bai nationality when the time comes, the kind of photo we wanted to take when we were in school before, I don't think it's as good as this original costume."

The corners of Xu Hongdou's mouth raised: "Okay." ”

Lu Ze was beside him, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Xu Hongdou wears Bai costumes... Isn't this Zhao Ling'er who is alive?

The ancient Nanzhao is the current Dali.

"Hongdou, let's go first, you see Lu Ze is smiling too evilly."

"Nanxing, you say that, it's really a little bit, let's go quickly."

The two girlfriends left happily.

Lu Ze looked at their backs a little helplessly in the back: "Use people to face forward, don't use people to face backwards, right... Scumbag! ”

......

In the afternoon, Lu Ze went to the wood carving workshop again.

He quite likes to chat with Master Xie and Shun Xie, and when chatting with this older generation, he can clearly feel the unique style of the previous era, history does not only exist in textbooks, but also lives in everyone's body.

After Xie Heshun saw Lu Ze, he was stunned at first, obviously he didn't expect Lu Ze, who had only come to the door in the morning, to come again at this time.

Lu Ze explained with a smile: "It's just wandering around the village, is it convenient to come and sit here with Master Xie?" ”

Xie Heshun nodded immediately, waved his hand, and said, "It's convenient and convenient, just sit casually." ”

Soon, Master Xie made a pot of hot tea and brought some snacks to the back room.

Perhaps, Xie Heshun himself also wants to find someone to talk to and relieve the boredom and distress in his heart.

"I have a lot of apprentices, but they are all leaving their hometowns one after another."

"The last apprentice, Xie Xiaoxia, is the one this morning, and he also told me that he wants to go out and break through."

Xie Heshun's face was full of bitterness, he looked down at his hands, and said sadly: "I didn't expect that the craftsmanship of my ancestors would be passed on to my generation, and there would be signs of breaking off... People outside, do they all like machine carving? ”

Lu Ze drank the black tea in the cup and quietly listened.

At this time, he shook his head: "The machine carving is the machine carving, and the machine exists for the convenience of people, but it will definitely not replace the status of people." ”

Xie Heshun looked at Lu Ze, but he still couldn't hold back at this time, and asked again: "Mr. Lu, have you really not learned carving?" ”

As a master of carving for many years, his only remaining pride is his craftsmanship.

This morning, I saw Lu Ze, a customer, carve two brilliant wooden pendants by himself.

It hit him hard.

Lu Ze slowly stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "It's true that I haven't touched carving, but I... I guess I'm a craftsman. ”

"I've had a lot of surgeries."

"So my hands are very steady."

Under Lu Ze's explanation, Xie Heshun knew that Lu Ze was originally a doctor, and it seemed that he was still a very powerful doctor.

"Then Mr. Lu, you..."

"Just call me Lu Ze."

Xie Heshun nodded, and said suspiciously: "Over there in the windy courtyard, I remember that the lease period starts at three months, so you..."

"I resigned."

"Resign?!"

Lu Ze refilled himself with a cup of hot tea, his stomach was not idle this afternoon, and coffee and tea were all in his stomach.

"yes, that's the fun point."

"Yunmiao Village seems to be like a besieged city, the people inside want to go out, and the people outside want to come in."

Lu Ze chatted with Master Xie for more than half an hour.

Only then did he say goodbye.

Xie Heshun shouted to Lu Ze at the door: "When you have time, you often come to sit." ”

"Alright!"

Looking at Lu Ze's departing back, Xie Heshun sighed lightly: "It's an interesting person." ”
