[Tutor] The Heart of Dwelling Myself

Turn on a low heat to soak the agar, add an appropriate amount of sugar, then add chestnut powder, red bean paste and maltose, and keep stirring with a spoon.The milky white liquid slowly merges with the sugar and turns into a beautiful warm honey color.Continue to heat and stir, and soon the sugar liquid becomes sticky, and the sweet smell gradually overflows with the heat.

Qian Qiu turned off the fire, poured a pot of sugar liquid into a square crisper and put it in the refrigerator, then picked up a book to pass the time.

In order to return the gift to Grandma Sofia who brought cookies, she decided to make her own Japanese-style desserts.Although she lives in Italy all year round, she will never forget these traditional foods.Compared with high-calorie, full-bodied dishes, Japanese food is much more refined and lighter, at least from the outside, it looks pleasing to the eye.

If it weren't for the fact that he is sometimes used to enjoying Japanese-style light meals, maybe Qianqiu has become a greasy and fat person due to the high-calorie food intake all year round.For a woman in her prime, getting fat is really a terrible thing.There are not many ingredients that can be used here, and it is difficult for Qianqiu to spare more money to buy hard-won ingredients to maintain the store rent and daily expenses.

Grandma Sophia is old and not suitable for eating foods with too much sugar, so she took away part of the amount of maltose to try to make the taste lighter.

"Well...it's almost there." Qian Qiu put down the book in his hand, got up and walked towards the refrigerator.

The yokan in the box has solidified, and the smooth surface is very beautiful.Slightly transparent jelly-like exquisite.Qianqiu picked up the knife and cut the yokan into regular rectangles.

She yawned and looked at the clock on the wall.

08:30am.

Today, in order to make snacks, I did not go to church to pray as usual.May God forgive her for her impiety today.

Qian Qiu brushed the chestnut hair around her ears, put the box in her bag, and went out as usual.Through the alley of the residential area to the waterway, he stepped tremblingly onto the deck, and sat down.Looking at the rising sun slantingly shining on the water surface, the water is shimmering and glittering with gold.

At nine o'clock in the morning, she arrived at the door of Qianqiu's pet shop on time.

When Mi Xiu heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately raised his fluffy triangular ears and ran to the door with short legs.It knows that its favorite master is coming.What does this mean - it has food to eat, it can move freely, it can go out to play.

Mi Xiu eagerly stuck the fluffy fur to the glass door, and swung his snowball-like tail.The moment Qianqiu opened the door, it couldn't wait to pounce on it, making a humming sound.Then it sniffed Qianqiu again, and cast those smart eyes into Qianqiu's bag.

"Wait, that's for Grandma Sophia..." Qianqiu looked at Mi Xiu's fleshy claws to scratch the bag in her hand weakly, and took a few steps back.In order to prevent it from "attacking" again, she had to take out dog food and dried chicken and pour them into the basin.

Apart from being able to eat, sleep, and act cute... what else can Mi Xiu do? !Its nose can only be used to detect the smell of food on other people's body.She helped her forehead helplessly, and looked at Mi Xiu who was devouring it.Speaking of which, it was the first time that Mi Xiu threw himself on a stranger so intimately yesterday—even though the other person had no food on him.

Qianqiu couldn't help thinking of Mr. Skylark who looked very special.

"Mi Xiu, go out and exercise when you're full! By the way, send something to Grandma Sophia..." She patted Mi Xiu who was staring at her with curious eyes, and was licking the food left on her mouth with her slippery tongue smell.

Mi Xiu seemed to understand her words, picked up the dog leash and put it at Qianqiu's feet.

Grandma Sophia's grocery store is not on the same street as Qianqiu's pet store. Qianqiu's pet store is on the first line of the market. Although it is the front of the commercial street, it looks a bit deserted because it is at the end.But Grandma Sophia is not physically strong alone, and she can't handle a lot of customers. In order to pass the time, she opened the store in the last third line.There are even fewer people there, except for tourists visiting the old alleys or men and women passing by at night, there are almost no patrons.

Grandma Sophia lives there, and the storefront is combined with the mansion.This saves you the hassle of running around.

Qianqiu flipped the tag to the CLOSE side, and walked towards the back alley of the market.

"Yawn..." She yawned lazily, a trace of tiredness welling up in her heart.In order to make this yokan, she got up early and worked harder than usual.But Grandma Sophia has always been very kind to herself, and these are nothing.

Humming a song, she walked quickly towards the small, somewhat dilapidated grocery store, only to see a few young men with messy dyed hair yelling around the door of the grocery store.Clothes hung baggy and rattling trouser chains were an eyesore.

"Hey old lady—give us some pocket money!" The young people who spoke rudely walked to the counter before the words fell, and opened the drawers.

Qian Qiu's complexion sank.

This is a common occurrence on this street. The place where she lives is very lively with people coming and going.Naturally, there are no ruffian youths looking for trouble like this.There are no passers-by at the place where Grandma Sophia is, on the contrary, it is closer to the notorious abandoned street.The shops here are more or less harassed by the unscrupulous youths there.

When Mi Xiu saw that the grandmother who usually feeds him was being bullied, he yelled first and gritted his fangs.

"Grandma Sophia! Are you okay!" Mi Xiu ran forward with his legs loose, showing a fierce look, as if he wanted to drive away the group of people who bullied the old lady.Qianqiu was dragged by Mi Xiu all the way to the front of the store, raised her sorrel eyebrows and called out to the trembling old man in the store.

"Huh? Here comes a lovely lady... how about this lady give us some pocket money." A young man casually put his hand on Qianqiu's shoulder, and approached that arrogant face.

"Please show some respect." Qian Qiu brushed away the hand on his shoulder, and Mi Xiu threw himself on the young man's leg with a low growl and bit down on it.At the critical moment, Mixiu resolutely stood up to protect his master, despite his usual laziness of eating and sleeping.

"Ah, it hurts...! How dare a dog be so arrogant—" The young man kicked Mi Xiu away.There were dots of gray marks on the snow-white fur.

"Mixiu..." Qian Qiu quickly ran over and hugged the angry Samoyed, his eyes full of pity.You don't need to look to know that the kick just now was with all your strength, and Mi Xiu must have suffered so much that he would die.

"I said you are going too far..." Her mind was in chaos, her gentle face collapsed a little bit, and her warm brown eyes were filled with anger.

"Excessive? Hahaha—isn't it just a little money to spend? This should be what a kind old lady should do to spoil us children!" Behavior of Sophia granny pushed down.

"It's just... just a dog, if you kick it, it's nothing special." The young man standing not far from Qianqiu looked down at the woman who was squatting on the ground and stroking the dog.

Snapped--

The crisp slap silenced the clamoring young man.He covered his flushed cheeks, as if surprised by the bold behavior of the thin woman in front of him.Then his face twisted, he stepped forward and slapped Qianqiu involuntarily, the huge force made Qianqiu's eyes go dark for an instant, and he felt as if he was staring at gold stars.She covered the corners of her rapidly swollen mouth, but her eyes did not lose any momentum.

The man spat again and kicked Mi Xiu away fiercely. Mi Xiu limped and whimpered in a low voice, as if he felt pain from such a heavy hand.

No one dares to provoke the abandoned street occupied by bullies.And the residents in the vicinity have also suffered greatly, and the scattered forces make the police here helpless.In fact, Qianqiu was afraid of the foolish and vicious young man in front of her, but she couldn't just watch Grandma Sophia's hard-earned money being robbed like this, and she couldn't watch Mi Xiu being beaten for nothing.

She tightened her bloodless lips and stared fiercely at the man in front of her.

"Hey, if you're not good, I'll take you away with me—" The young man grinned disgustingly, looking at the woman trembling with anger in front of him.Before she finished speaking, she slapped her across the face again.Qian Qiu only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was about to lose his footing.

Seeing this, Mi Xiu blinked his eyes, as if smelling something, he limped and ran into the dark alley with an "Aww".

"Hahaha... your dog ran away, let's see how arrogant you are." The man was very proud to see the kicked and dirty Samoyed disappear from sight.After all, this big guy bit me mercilessly just now, so next time you see it, you must give it a good lesson.

He violently pushed Qianqiu to the ground and snatched the bag from her shoulder.

>>>

"Humph."

Skylark stood in the dark alley of the abandoned street, looked at the people lying crookedly on the ground in front of him, turned and left very proudly.This is his fourth day in Venice.He was already tired of these legendary bullies who didn't care about their importance. In his eyes, they were just weak people grouped together.

"Ugh..."

There was a fluffy touch on his legs, and he almost pulled out with a crutch, but when he looked back, he saw a dirty Samoyed with a few shocking shoe prints on its fluffy hair.Those watery eyes were looking at him with grievance.
