Mr. Fox in the cake shop

Because of Uncle Zheng, Gu Xiyang didn't have to get up early, and he didn't get up from bed until around seven o'clock.I was tossed and turned all night last night, and in the morning I was in a bad mood and yawned again and again.

He squinted his eyes and walked into the bathroom, the shirtless Song Xu was already washing up.

"Wake up so early?"

Song Xu, who was cleaning his teeth, spat out the mouthwash, "Well, report to the company in the morning."

"By the way, I won't be with you in the afternoon if I have something to do. Let's have dinner together in the evening. I'll make a reservation and call you."

"Okay, you are busy with your work, let's talk about dinner." He rinsed his mouth again and washed his face.

Song Xu's straightforwardness made Gu Xiyang a little surprised. In previous years, Song Xu would turn into a critical young man every day on this day. There were so many entertainment items that gave Gu Xiyang a headache, but today... the calm makes people suspicious.

"Today is your birthday." Gu Xiyang couldn't help reminding.

At this time Song Xu had finished washing, took out a towel and wiped his face indiscriminately, "I know, I may be busy today, let's talk about it when dinner is over!" He squeezed Gu Xiyang's waist and went to the bedroom to change clothes.

Gu Xiyang glanced at his back, his chaotic eyes flickered, and many unexpected and funny pictures of Song Xu flashed in his mind.

The ingredients of the cake shop are provided by a special supply center, which is divided into fresh and in-stock categories. The fresh category is various fruits and eggs, which are delivered almost every other day. Others such as various types of flour, sugar, salad Oil, cocoa powder, etc. are available from time to time.

When Gu Xiyang arrived at the store in the morning, Zheng Shuang had already called the supplier, and Uncle Zheng was kneading flour profusely.Gu Xiyang had to admit that Uncle Zheng was more logical than him in making desserts. What to do first, what to do later, the allocation was not only reasonable, but also the time was exactly the same.

Apart from being familiar with the environment and the placement of tools in the first two days, Gu Xiyang has been completely unable to keep up with Uncle Zheng's rhythm in the past few days.

"Xiyang, help me take out the Sydney egg tart." Uncle Zheng, who turned around and spread salad oil on the special baking tray, called back.As soon as his voice fell, the alarm bell of the oven rang.

Gu Xiyang immediately turned off the oven and put on thick leather gloves.

"Uncle Zheng, you have been making desserts for so many years, do you think you love this job?"

Uncle Zheng paused, the corners of his wrinkled eyes curled up, "Why do you ask that?"

"Does it look like there is no future in making desserts?" Gu Xiyang said truthfully.

Uncle Zheng raised his slightly thick eyebrows, "Where do these words come from? Don't underestimate desserts. It's a university question. Do you know the origin of desserts?"

Gu Xiyang shook his head to express his ignorance.

"It originated from ancient Egypt more than 5000 years ago. It also has a very long history in China. It has millennia of grinding changes. Do you think a profession that has not declined for a long time will have no future? What's more, desserts are not only vertical, but also horizontal. It is also very broad, it includes a wide variety, in addition to baked pastries, there are puddings, pancakes, ice cream, cheese, fruits, etc. If you want to achieve something in this area, you must see two ways, one is the commodity Generalization, refurbishment, emerge in endlessly, so that customers can get novel feelings from you; the second is to make a kind of dessert into a time-honored brand with exclusive secrets by using one main and multiple supplements. Of course, these two ways are my own way of doing business. Dao, in addition to these, you can also choose regional ones, such as desserts from various countries, I prefer French ones. The French are romantic, so to a certain extent they attach importance to desserts, and regard desserts as an art and a science. So as a pastry chef you have to have certain aesthetic and tasting skills.”

While talking, Uncle Zheng poured the thinned batter into the mold and put it in the oven, while the other oven was freshly baked.

Gu Xiyang was a little startled when he heard that, "Are you really just a dessert chef?"

The old face is still smiling, "Yes, it has been in this life."

"You understand the psychology and needs of many customers."

"Of course you've traveled a long way, you'll understand."

At this time, Sisi came in with two delivery workers, carrying bags of flour into the storage room.

"Boss, someone is looking for you outside." She put down the salad oil in her hand and shouted at Gu Xiyang.

"Okay, I'll go out right away."

When Gu Xiyang came out, Shi Ran, who was neatly dressed, was already sitting in his office drinking tea with his legs crossed.

"Didn't you say afternoon, why are you here now?"

"The company is fine in the morning, so I came out to see the construction site. Didn't you say that you made a sketch of the memorial hall? I'll come and have a look." He put down his teacup, looking anxious.

"It's just a simple idea. The architecture is quite satisfactory, and the interior is not easy to break through."

"It's okay, just have something. Although we are designers, it's not up to the client to decide what to make in the end."

Gu Xiyang took out a brown paper notebook from the drawer, about the size of an ipad. It seemed to have been used for many years, and the leather surface was a bit old. He opened it and flipped it to the middle, and pushed it in front of Shi Ran.

The pencil drawing has smooth lines, and some details are marked with dimensions. It is densely packed, with functional descriptions, and some mock-ups of elevation sections. It looks like a veteran at first glance.

"You made it according to the plane size I gave?"

Gu Xiyang responded.

Shi Ran lowered his head and took a closer look, and couldn't help sighing, "You really don't have any skills. There are really few people in the company who can compare to you in hand-painting. Young people pay less and less attention to skills, and they are very exaggerated. The knowledge is not solid at all." He flipped forward a few more pages, and the front was full of design drafts, some were detailed and some were scribbled, but they all felt a sense of artistic presence.

While watching, he boasted, and what he said was full of hype and saliva.

Gu Xiyang pursed his lips helplessly, "If you are free, I won't accompany you, the kitchen is very busy."

The excited Shi Ran immediately stopped, and smiled flatteringly, "I'm not praising you."

"You don't need to talk nonsense, since I promised you, I will definitely do it."

"Say it sooner!" The flattering smile disappeared instantly.

"Hey, why did you suddenly agree to see that Professor Liang again? What did you talk about that day?"

"Not talking about anything."

Shi Ran was surprised, "Didn't you say you stayed at his house for two hours? You knocked over his pot of tea in two hours?"

Gu Xiyang's face fell, "I didn't mean it, and he wasn't angry at the time. This person is really strange."

"Professor, he is still a rich professor, and he will have some eccentricities."

"Perhaps there is nothing weirder than him." That exquisite face and that captivating smile appeared in Gu Xiyang's mind again.In fact, in terms of appearance alone, it is absolutely irresistible to any female, and even he is a little tempted, but his temperament... Maybe it is like what Shi Ran said, people will always pervert when they reach a certain position.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Xiyang took care of everything in the cake shop, walked through the quaint campus with Shi Ran, and appeared at the entrance of the main building of the History College of T University on time.The construction of the School of History is particularly classical, and the pavilions and pavilions have a bit of the charm of Jiangnan gardens.Especially now it is April, peonies and peonies are in full bloom, and azaleas are in full bloom.

The walls are full of sparkling spring colors, and it is inevitable that there will be memories of the past.

In the past, when I was in school, many colleges chose the History College for outdoor activities. This is a treasured place of geomantic omen, the environment is quiet, the venue can be large or small, and any kind of venue is suitable. In addition, the girls of the History College are very eye-catching, so this place has always been The base of diaosi otaku.

Back then, he and Song Xu came to join in the fun, but it was just to join in the fun.In the evening, they borrowed the lover Po from your courtyard to have a big fight. At that time, both of them felt extremely exciting.

In the blink of an eye, I have been away from T University for five or six years, and my youthful campus life seems like yesterday.

While his thoughts were racing, he subconsciously followed Shi Ran's steps upstairs.

The dean's room is on the top floor.

There is a small garden on the top floor, full of colorful plants, which looks like a sky garden from downstairs.

The door of the dean's office was open, and on the brown-red desk sat a man writing hard.With his head half down, his face looks particularly skinny and skinny. The afternoon sun shines through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a faint golden light on his body. At first glance, his skin is so delicate that even pores are hard to detect, only the shadows cast by eyelashes clear and distinct.

Shi Ran raised his arm and was about to knock on the door, when the quiet writer suddenly raised his head, looked around him and met Gu Xiyang's eyes.

For a moment, Gu Xiyang's heart stopped, and everything around him receded like lightning. This moment was very familiar, as if he had waited for thousands of years, some dead cells in his body began to revive...

It was only when Gu Xiyang came back to his senses that he realized the blaze on his chest. It was the stone pendant. Undoubtedly, he came to the right place.
