Chapter 320 Steamed buns, spicy strips, Tang and Song Dynasties, sleeping together
Shimmer Cafe.
After making the last batch of matcha chocolate box cakes, Qian Lele carefully arranged them and placed them in the corresponding positions in the display window.
Then he put the baking tools back in place, cleaned the floor and countertop, and then entered the staff locker room and changed into his own clothes.
“Sister Zhao, I’ll get off work first.” Qian Lele said goodbye politely, carrying a backpack.
Baker Zhao Hongxia took out the baked croissant, turned around and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Lele, I asked you to work overtime again today."
"It doesn't matter, I'm on summer vacation now, and I'll have plenty of time in the future. If there's anything you need me to do, just ask, Sister Zhao."
"Okay, bye."
“Bye, see you tomorrow.”
After saying goodbye to other colleagues, Qian Lele walked out of the coffee shop door and walked along the sidewalk towards the teachers’ apartment.
Although the weather is still very hot, it is no longer as sunny.
This summer is no longer as difficult as before.
At least you don’t have to hand out flyers or stand at the door to promote in the bright sun.
As a boutique business cafe, Shimmer Coffee has a very good working environment.
It is cool, comfortable, clean and tidy, and I am engaged in baking that I am interested in. It is really a pleasure.
“Ding-ding-ding--” the cell phone rang.
Qian Lele took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, looked at the call information, and quickly answered the call, "Hello, Yaoyao."
A familiar voice came from the receiver Voice: "Hello, Lele, should you get off work now?"
"Yeah, I just got off work."
The two briefly chatted about their current situation.
Yaoyao smiled and said: "Okay, let me make a long story short, the 30th of this month is my birthday, and I plan to have a birthday party tonight. You are now a full-time baker, and it won't delay your work at night? You must come then."
After hearing her words, Qian Lele pinched the corner of his clothes with his left hand, and said nervously: "Why don't I go, I'll give it to you in advance. Prepare a gift. "
"Hey, we don't like this! I'm celebrating with you on your birthday. Lele, we are good friends, you have to come!"
Qian Lele pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Well, okay, I will come over."
"Okay, it's settled! I'm getting ready to go on vacation now, wait until I come back to play with you! Bye~"
"Okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Qian Lele's mood suddenly sank, and he felt a little uneasy.
When I first entered university, I accidentally encountered a club recruiting new students.
The slogan of "Innovation and Entrepreneurship Society" is that it can provide social practice work for members.
While adding credits, you can also earn part-time fees.
At that time, she felt like she had found a treasure and took the initiative to apply to join the club.
The club did not lie. The "Innovation and Entrepreneurship Club" cooperates with the school's entrepreneurship incubation base and is responsible for the operation of the cafe, bookstore, and print shop in the base.
After many efforts to communicate and apply, Qian Lele successfully got a part-time job in a coffee shop with his outstanding appearance.
Although the salary is very small, you can enjoy free coffee and snacks, which can save you some living expenses.
It was also there that she learned simple roasting techniques and coffee making.
Ding Yao is a club member who works part-time with her, but she is from an art college and her family is in very good conditions.
My father is a plastic surgeon and my mother owns a big restaurant.
I come here part-time purely to make friends, practice, and relax.
Ding Yao is a passionate person, cheerful and outgoing, and can chat with anyone.
After not getting along for a long time, Qian Lele became good friends with each other.
That period was also the most leisurely and relaxing period of her college life, and she also met some alumni.
However, the good times did not last long. There were many people in the club, and everyone took turns to work part-time.
Qian Lele’s job did not last long.
Then began a busy career of studying and working.
When she celebrated her birthday last year, Ding Yao came to dormitory 213 late at night carrying cakes and gifts.
We also called several other classmates to celebrate her birthday and sing happy birthday to her.
That was a very precious memory for her.
This year the other party specially called to invite me. It would really be inappropriate for me not to go.
Qian Lele actually wanted to participate, and wanted to celebrate her birthday in a grand and joyful way.
But she has met some of Ding Yao’s friends, and they are basically rich people.
For example, I once went to a KTV to sing.
They carry designer bags, wear fashionable clothes, and hold the latest flagship phones, chatting about where to travel on the weekend and which internet celebrity restaurant to check out.
At that time, Qian Lele was sitting in the corner, wearing white washed jeans, with a bare face, and holding a bag worth more than 20 yuan.
Embarrassed, inferior, uncomfortable, embarrassed, feeling very different.
Since then.
Ding Yao invited her again, but she refused on the grounds of part-time job.
…
On the way back, there are a dazzling array of shops on both sides of the commercial street, with colorful signboards shining brightly.
Qian Lele unconsciously stopped in front of a high-end clothing store.
Through the bright window, I saw the blingbling clothes inside and the high-end bags next to it.
Clenched his hands, lowered his head and silently settled the accounts.
I thought about the situation at home and the new computer after the summer vacation.
The soft sunlight pours on the pedestrian street, giving the ground a layer of warm golden light.
It also gave her a layer of halo, drawing a long shadow.
Less than half a minute.
The shadows began to move together again.
Qian Lele blended into the crowd with his head lowered and opened the shopping APP.
I was in the shopping cart for a while, hesitating about what to choose.
On this ordinary evening.
20-year-old Qian Lele encountered the first big difficulty of the summer vacation.
Ten minutes later.
Qian Lele stood in front of a small supermarket.
This Fuqiang Supermarket is right next to the teachers’ apartment.
The prices inside are not high, and there are often a lot of stale fruits on sale.
The cake embryos and croissants she brought from the cafe were enough for dinner.
But you still need to add some fruits to supplement vitamins.
Of course, it’s best to buy another pack of her favorite spicy strips.
She has loved eating spicy chips and spicy strips since she was a child.
When she was in high school, because the food in the cafeteria was expensive and not delicious, she would make steamed buns + egg soup + spicy strips from time to time to complete a meal.
I didn’t lose this hobby when I went to college. Sometimes I would buy a pack when I was greedy.
It is one of the few hobbies that she spends money on.
… …
“Tap tap tap——”
Wearing sneakers, Tang Song rushed into Fuqiang Supermarket with quick steps.
He pushed up a shopping cart and threw the shopping bag containing his clothes into it.
Sharp eyes swept across the shelves of the supermarket.
A bunch of invalid information pops up instantly.
“Special Vision” does not give any hints about “props”.
Tang and Song Dynasties instantly understood that it was no wonder it was called a "mysterious store" and that they should search for it bit by bit.
Time was tight. In order to prevent his products from being snatched away by others, Tang and Song pushed the shopping cart and began to shuttle between the shelves.
When passing by a clothing sales area, a faint green light came into view.
Tang Song quickly stopped and looked at a pair of sneakers.
The special price is 29.9 yuan, size 44, black and white color, the style is counterfeit Nike, but the quality is very rough at first glance.
Pick up the sneakers.
A pop-up message appeared in front of my eyes.
[Boots of Quick Step]: When the player is within the scope of the dungeon, he will receive a movement speed bonus, helping you run faster, move faster, and gain +2 agility.
Good stuff!
Directly into the pocket!
He also has the key [self-discipline halo], which is essential for daily exercise and fitness. This pair of shoes can also come in handy.
Judging by the quality, I estimate it will only last for half a month at most.
“Boom--” The shopping cart was pushed by him with great force.
The supermarket is not large in area, but the items are very complete.
Fresh food, daily necessities, cooked food, snacks, clothing...
When Tang and Song passed a cooked food area, a white light flashed in front of them again.
Seeing that there were many customers around, Tang Song quickly put down his shopping cart and squeezed past.
He looked straight at the staple food area.
A bag of white flour steamed buns is shining and looks particularly tempting.
Tang and Song Dynasty grabbed the plastic bag.
[Recovery Blood Pack]: When the player is within the scope of the dungeon, eating this steamed bun will quickly restore physical strength and endurance, helping you return to the learning state faster.
Nice!
Tang and Song’s eyes lit up instantly behind the lenses.
The most uncomfortable thing for him now is that he cannot enter a super-study state for a long time, and his endurance and energy are not enough.
If put into the game, it would be health bar and mana.
And this steamed bun is equivalent to a small medicine bottle for restoring blood.
There are 5 in total, but I don’t know what the effect is and need to verify it.
After getting two props, Tang and Song gradually relaxed.
The actor assumes the posture of "the god of learning" and continues the search.
There is a vague feeling of playing a game.
Just like the movie "Ready Player One", it is an immersive experience with real-life interaction.
Very interesting.
And he also has the effect of a mask, making him more and more engaged.
……
“诶！今天的出清有香蕉。”钱乐乐拎着购物狂，眼睛闪闪发光。
Picked it up and looked at it carefully.
Although the surface is black and has cracks, it is still hard when pinched, which certainly does not affect eating.
And 6 sticks only cost two yuan, so just grab it!
Then, she picked and picked for a while, and finally picked up a bag of apples.
2.6 yuan, more than 4 kilograms. Even if it is a little wilted, it is still acceptable. You can just peel it and eat it!
And now that I live in Teacher Jiang’s apartment, I have the magic weapon of a refrigerator, so the fruits can be preserved for a longer period of time.
Leave the clearing area satisfied.
Qian Lele began to wander around Fuqiang Supermarket, her goal was very clear.
Only look at the yellow label, because it means discount or clearance.
“A pair of slippers costing 9.9 yuan!”
My pair of slippers happened to be slightly torn, and there were water stains everywhere after I stepped on them after taking a shower.
After all, we are at Teacher Jiang’s house now, so we still need to pay attention.
I picked up a pair of pink ones and looked at them. After confirming that there was no problem, I took them directly!
Immediately, she looked at the sneakers next to her.
Both men’s and women’s models are priced at 29.9 yuan, which is very tempting and very solid to hold.
But in the end she let it go.
I just bought a pair of shoes from Pinduoduo last month and I don’t really need them for the time being.
Money still needs to be spent wisely.
For example... spicy strips!
Qian Lele licked his lips and went straight to the snack area.
His keen eyes swept across the shelves, focusing on the bottom row.
On the yellow label, it says 2.3, and there is only the last pack left.
It is an old-fashioned spicy strip that she likes to eat. The original price is 3 yuan.
Qian Lele instantly showed a big smile and walked over quickly carrying a shopping basket.
The body was about to bend down.
Then he bumped into another person slightly.
Qian Lele quickly stopped and moved back, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you just now."
Then, she watched helplessly as the discounted spicy sticks that she had been longing for were taken down by that person.
This is the last pack!
Immediately, her eyes looked at the boy who stood up slowly.
He is very tall, half a head taller than her, wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans.
The boy turned around and said in a calm and calm voice: "I didn't pay attention, I'm sorry."
Soon, the two looked at each other.
Qian Lele was startled. He felt that the other person looked very familiar and his voice was also familiar, but he did not react for a moment.
Slightly older than me, in his 20s, clean and fresh, wearing square glasses.
Tall and well-proportioned, with broad shoulders and narrow waist.
Although he is dressed in ordinary clothes, he has a confident, calm, focused and persistent temperament.
Like...a top student in school who is passionate about learning.
"Lele?"
I heard the name popping out of the boy's mouth.
A look of surprise gradually appeared on Qian Lele's face, and she quickly said: "Brother Song! It's you! Sorry, I didn't recognize it just now."
Although she and Tang Song had communicated many times on WeChat, they had only met once in real life.
When I was signing the part-time contract, I helped hand over the document bag and glanced at it hastily.
In my impression, the Tang and Song dynasties at that time wore suits and were quite handsome.
As for the specific appearance, I really don’t remember much. After all, I was shaking nervously and looking forward to getting that part-time job as soon as possible.
I can tell it is from the Tang and Song dynasties mostly because of his voice.
The two just talked on the phone a few days ago. Tang Song helped her retrieve the deleted data and saved her "baker's career."
Qian Lele bent down slightly and said sincerely: "I have always wanted to thank you personally, but I was afraid of being too intrusive. Thank you very much, Brother Song, for your help last time."
A gentle smile appeared on Tang Song's face, "You're welcome, after all, I am a part-time technician of the company, so I should."
The two exchanged simple greetings.
Qian Lele suddenly reacted, "Brother Song, I heard from Teacher Jiang that you are going to live here for half a month. Have you already moved here?"
"Well, I moved here at noon today."
Qian Lele's face turned slightly red, and she looked away and said, "Then please take care of me in the future. If I do something wrong, Brother Song, feel free to point it out."
She has never lived in the same house with a boy, so she is inevitably a little uneasy and shy.
But she had a very good impression of Tang and Song Dynasties, and she also helped her a lot.
“Lele, you are too polite. You don’t need to address me with honors all the time. There is not much age difference between us, just call me by my name.”
"Okay, Brother Song." Qian Lele nodded quickly.
An unexpected encounter, plus we have to live under the same roof for the next half month.
Qian Lele was too embarrassed to leave, so he grabbed a pack of 2.5 yuan spicy chips that he often ate, and started shopping with Tang and Song.
…
[Return to Blue Spicy Sticks]: When the player is within the scope of the dungeon, eating this spicy stick will quickly restore mental strength and help you return to the learning state faster.
Okay! Steamed buns with spicy strips! The system really knows how to play!
Tang Song looked at the three props in the shopping cart and couldn't help but complain.
But I am still very happy.
With these two things, you can immerse yourself in the ocean of knowledge as much as possible.
As a scholar who loves learning, nothing makes him happier than this.
At this moment, a prompt sounded: "Ding! The mysterious store has disappeared!"
Tang Song turned sideways and said: " Lele, I’ve bought everything here, what about you?”
“Oh, I’ve bought it too! Then let’s go out,” Qian Lele said while looking at Tang Song’s shopping cart.
There are only 3 items in the empty shopping cart.
Big steamed buns, spicy strips, and sneakers.
And that pair of sneakers is the same one I saw before.
Qian Lele’s gaze towards Tang and Song changed again.
She had heard from colleagues at Shimmer Coffee headquarters that there were formal jobs in Tang and Song Dynasties.
Excellent skills, plus the part-time fee here, should make a lot of money.
I didn’t expect him to be so frugal in his daily life.
It may be a habit that has been developed for a long time, or maybe like you, you have some difficulties at home.
After paying the bill, walk out of the supermarket.
Qian Lele took off his backpack, opened the zipper, and first put away the things he bought.
Then she said politely and enthusiastically: "Brother Song, put the things in my schoolbag. It's hard to hold."
She only put some food brought from the cafe in her bag, and there was still a lot of space.
"Thank you." Tang Song nodded and put the steamed buns and spicy strips in, "It's quite heavy, let me take it."
After saying that, Tang Song took the initiative to pick up his backpack, smiled at Qian Lele, and walked towards the teacher's apartment.
Looking at his firm and upright back, Qian Lele had a bright smile on his face, and the high ponytail behind him swayed from side to side.
She doesn’t like to cause trouble to others, and she is also afraid of being looked down upon.
This Brother Song is really nice and easy to get along with, and their consumption views are also very consistent.
This made her heart drop.
…
“Click—” Using the key to unlock the door, Qian Lele gently opened the door, “Brother Song, you go first.”
As the door slowly closed.
There were only two of them in the quiet living room.
Qian Lele’s face was a little unnatural.
After taking out the contents of his schoolbag, Qian Lele said hello and hurried to the balcony.
Put away your underwear, socks, and clothes.
Returning to his second bedroom, looking at the warm and familiar environment, he gradually calmed down.
Although it was nothing, she was still a little uncomfortable with it.
Maybe it’s because they’re not familiar with each other. This is their second meeting, and it feels like they’re meeting netizens.
It should be fine in two days.
“Hiss--” He opened the large spicy slices and took a small bite.
Qian Lele finally completed his psychological construction.
I simply took a shower.
I took out all the cakes and fruits from my schoolbag and quickly came to the kitchen.
Two croissants and a bag of cake embryos, divided into two plates, heat them in the microwave.
Peel the apple, remove the bad parts, and cut into small pieces.
He took out two more bananas.
Soon, two dinners and a fruit platter are ready!
After putting the things on the dining table, Qian Lele sat on the chair and waited for a long time.
After seeing that Tang and Song still didn’t come out.
Then I mustered up the courage to stand in front of the master bedroom door.
“Dong, dong, dong—” Knocked lightly, revealing a gap in the unclosed door.
“Brother Song.”
“Here, what’s wrong Lele?” Tang Song spoke very quickly, speaking calmly, urgently, and resolutely.
Qian Lele quickly replied: "Brother Song, I brought cake embryos and croissants from the cafe. Do you want to eat some together?"
"No, I'm not hungry now, thank you."
"Oh, okay, okay." Qian Lele pursed his lips and glanced through the gap in the door.
The mouth is slightly open and the pupils are slightly trembling.
There are stacks of books and materials on the desk.
In the corner of the desk, there was a half-open plastic bag with half a steamed bun missing and the spicy strips torn open.
Tang and Song Dynasties were sitting on chairs, with their bodies straight, reading quickly and seriously.
Qian Lele took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and was deeply touched.
Return to the dining table and finish your own sumptuous dinner.
Qian Lele picked up the plate, came to the door of Tang and Song Dynasties again, and said softly: "Brother Song, can I come in?"
"Please come in."
"Squeak--" Qian Lele gently pushed the door open with his elbow and put the plate gently in the corner of the desk.
"I made this by myself in the cafe. Brother Song, try it. It's fruit, and it tastes better with it."
"Thank you Lele." Tang Song stopped what he was doing and nodded with a smile.
“Then don’t bother me. I’m going out later. I’ll be back before 10pm. If you need to find me, just call me.”
"Okay, bye."
Qian Lele waved and walked out.
Before closing the door, I looked back again.
Tang and Song Dynasties were completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and all they read were in English.
The side face is focused and persistent, and the body exudes the glorious temperament of thirsty for knowledge.
Learning is a never-ending journey of the soul.
He must be the kind of person who spends all his free time studying.
He is the top student in the university who buries his body and mind in the library.
Qian Lele both admires and envies him.
She also wanted to do this, but the heavy pressure of life forced her to run around.
Return to the room and take out your handbag from under the bed.
Qian Lele simply packed up his things and set out to sell bracelets at a stall on the pedestrian street outside the school.
The coffee shop has a morning shift, so you can earn some extra money in the evening.
If you are lucky, you can buy more expensive clothes and attend Ding Yao's birthday party without being too embarrassed.
…
Yanjing Huating, Building 6.
“Cheers!”
“Ding~~”
As the cold and slightly bitter beer entered her throat, Zhao Yaqian quickly picked up a portion of juicy sweet potato skins and took a big bite.
The secret sauce, chili, cumin and the natural aroma of the ingredients are mixed together.
Zhao Yaqian instantly arched her eyebrows and shook her legs happily.
Although she is now developed, she is really good at it.
The first date I had with Tang Song was fried skewers, which are precious and beautiful memories.
He Liting and Lin Muxue also started eating happily.
Today is the weekend, it is rare for He Liting not to have to live broadcast, and the three of them have their own happy events.
We hit it off immediately and got together directly, eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
Zhao Yaqian’s investigation of Isa Beauty has been completed and her investment intention has been initially confirmed.
He Liting’s self-media account “He Yiyi” has more than 200,000 fans, and her live broadcast sales are rising.
As for Lin Muxue, she is about to take delivery of a new car, a Porsche 911.
Of course, she did not dare to tell them that the car was a gift from Tang and Song Dynasty.
Just enjoy this kind of thing by yourself.
"Qianqian, Xiaoxue!" He Liting put down the wine bottle and said with a smile: "I plan to broadcast outdoors for two days next week to hold an interesting activity. I will randomly invite passerby girls to answer questions. If they answer correctly, they will be given away clothing for sale and special prizes.
At that time, we will also conduct joint promotions with some local big internet celebrities.
I will send the address to the group later. If you have friends who want to participate, you can come over. ”
“Oh, that’s okay,” Lin Muxue. He smiled and patted her shoulder, "It's so grand, it's worthy of building a big IP!"
"Hey, it's all Mr. Tang's favor."
The three of them were laughing and joking.
Continue drinking, chatting and having sex.
The night was getting darker, and the three girls were all a little tipsy.
Saw He Liting going to the toilet.
Lin Muxue leaned on the sofa and asked lazily: "Qianqian, did Tang Song say when he would be finished?"
"Brother Song said it would take about half a month."
"So long..." Due to drinking, Lin Muxue's words were less pretentious and pretentious.
Tang Song suddenly had to retreat for half a month and couldn’t see him. I really missed him.
Zhao Yaqian was silent for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and put her arms around her shoulders, and said in a serious tone: "Xiaoxue, are you reluctant to let go?"
Lin Muxue's expression froze, and then she joked with a smile: "Tang Song is also my boss, and I can just be lazy when he is away, haha."
After saying that, she smiled and pushed the beautician's shoulder.
Zhao Yaqian blinked, sniffed close to her ear, and said with a smile: "The smell of perfume and lingering shower gel on your body is very unique. I also smelled it on Brother Song that day."
"Um..., maybe I touched it accidentally."
"His hands are full of your smell, and my nose is very good."
Lin Muxue's body was shaken, her eyes were confused, and she didn't know what to say.
Zhao Yaqian smiled and kissed her cheek, and said in a natural tone: "Xiaoxue, please stay here and sleep with me tonight."
"Yes." Lin Muxue nodded obediently, her face turned slightly pale, and she had a new understanding of this beautician friend.
