Lizard Keeping Diary

The morning sun fell on the window, and through the glass, one could vaguely see a figure running in the opposite house.

Kuru yawned, and looked sideways at the red-haired young man with his eyes closed.

The clock pointed to eight o'clock.In another hour, the dessert shop will open for business.At this time in the past, Schatz had prepared a loving and nutritious breakfast for the lizard, and was going to gently wake him up.

It's just that the current situation is reversed. He knows that Xia Ci has woken up, but it will take a while before he can open his eyes on his own.

Kuru got out of bed, tucked up the air leakage of the quilt, washed up briefly, and started to make breakfast.The usual omelette, milk and bread with jam.After preparing these, Kuru went back to the room. At this time, Schatz had opened his eyes and his body was still facing the ceiling.

"Good morning darling."

Kuru helped Schatz sit up, and helped him put on his padded jacket and slippers to walk around.

Schatz was always slower than him in washing up.But it's okay, his shop is close to home, and it only opens after nine o'clock at the latest, and no one goes to eat exquisite cakes so early.

When changing Shatz's clothes later, Kuru couldn't help but wonder how he would feel if it was Shatz.Probably not.He went to the city to buy clothes, but he couldn't grasp Xia Ci's preferences. He only knew that Xia Ci liked bright and bright things, and there was a strong contrast between red, green, yellow, purple and blue at every turn. In the end, he still dressed casually because of his good looks. .

The next thing to do is comb your hair.Another job that requires patience.

Schatz's hair is very long and curly, and after the comb is inserted, it will get entangled if you are not careful.He had thought about cutting it shorter, but he was reluctant to part with such fine hair. Most importantly, if Schatz recovered and found that his hair was gone, he would definitely be so angry with him.

Kuru put a ponytail on the back of his head, tied it with a scrunchie, and then tied it with a headband like Schatz had done before.After finishing, he always felt that he could add something, so he took out a bow tie of the same color and fixed it to the top of the headband, so that it looked natural.Kuru is extremely satisfied with his masterpiece.

Really, not to mention how cute it is.

Kuru added a final coat to Schatz, with a thick fur collar that just covered the tattoo on the nape of his neck.That tattoo.Every time Kuru saw it, he would feel confused.

Schatz is not like a person who knows how to get tattoos. At first he thought it was something dirty, but he wiped it off several times before he came to his senses.It was a small pattern, pure black, with eight arrows chaotically spreading out in eight directions.

Such a tattoo is neither good-looking nor auspicious, and Schatz has really weird taste.

Maybe it's just a relic of adolescence, even Schatz had his rebellious moments...

Kuru shook his head, took Shatz's hand out the door, and locked the house by the way.

The business of the dessert shop is still the same as before.deserted.He rarely encountered male customers, but not completely.For example, there is a little boy who comes every two weeks. It costs hundreds of copper coins to buy a piece of cake, and it takes a long time to count a full bag of money.

The little boy also has a habit of never taking out, always sitting in the hall, enjoying the heating, and cherishing the cake on the exquisite ceramic plate.

Although young, this is his most loyal customer.Once he asked the little boy why he didn't pay the bill directly with silver dollars. The little boy said that he didn't have any silver dollars, and his family gave him twenty copper coins for breakfast every day. Worthy of a dessert shop.

After hearing this, Kuru was speechless. Twenty copper coins can buy two slices of the most common white bread, which is still the outside price. Everything in his shop is priced in silver dollars.

Later, when he learned that the little boy did not go to class on weekends, Kuru simply asked the little boy to come to the store to help, clean the table, sweep the floor, serve tea and water, and eat for free after work.The little boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded to accept the invitation.

"Anyway, I can finish my homework on Friday night, and I can come to work on weekends."

Today is Saturday again.When Kuru went to the store, the little boy was already standing in front of the door, his nose was red from the wind.

"Come so early?" Kuru took out the key and opened the door, leading Schatz inside.The little boy followed in, humming in a low voice.

Not long after entering the house, the room began to warm up.The little boy showed a comfortable expression, and his shrinking neck relaxed.Like everyone else, he thought it was some kind of expensive thermoregulation system, unaware that there was a Charmander here, and a Charmander's instinct is to create heat in cold places.

"Where do we start today, manager?"

"Over there, start from the four corners, and then scan the inside."

The little boy answered, picked up the broom and started to work.Kuru has his own business to do.

In a quiet atmosphere, noon gradually approached.The store door was pushed open.The little boy raised his head subconsciously and said welcome.

The visitor was a stranger, and he was surprised when he first came in. He obviously didn't expect it to be so warm inside, although it wasn't too cold outside.After taking a few steps to the counter, he opened his mouth to speak to the red-haired young man. At this time, Kuru came out from the back kitchen and greeted the customer.

"Hi, may I ask what you need?"

"Oh, hello," said the customer, "I'd like to order a birthday cake."

Kuru handed over an album directly.It was full of color pictures, and there were all kinds of cake styles, and the tastes were introduced in detail and the prices were marked.

The customer flipped through the album, specified one of the styles, and indicated that the birthday star wanted a special pattern, and some details needed to be adjusted.This is no problem, Kuru wrote it down, but when he told the other party to pick it up tomorrow, the other party refused.

"I think I'll pick it up this afternoon."

"Huh? Isn't it your birthday tomorrow?"

"Yes, but we're going on a trip tomorrow. I plan to celebrate my family's birthday on the way."

When mentioning their birthday star, the customer began to sigh, saying that they wanted to change the time of birthday celebration, but they quit and clamored to celebrate their birthday at that time.

Kuru calculated the time, and it was probably enough, mainly because the tricks were a bit complicated, but now that someone is doing it, it must not be a problem.So he took the business and got busy after lunch.

"Come with me, Ryan, and help me mix the batter."

The little boy is actually not young, he is also 16 years old. His name is Ryan. In Kuru's eyes, he is very small. He is dark and thin, and has a bit of a naive air. What he is most passionate about is food, otherwise he would not deliberately Save your breakfast money and come here for consumption.

Kuru thought that Ryan must know how to do it, so he didn't think too much. After he had prepared some ingredients, he went around to check the situation, but was surprised to find that the noodles were still the same.

"Didn't I tell you to stir, Ryan?"

The little boy was at a loss, "I...I don't know how to mix it."

"Haven't you learned it from your family? I mean, you should see this kind of thing."

Ryan was silent for a while, and replied, "My parents are away during the day and will come back very late, so they don't have time to cook."

Kuru thought about it, and thought it was true. Unlike those rich girls, Ryan did not study at a serious school. It was located in a valley in the distance, and it took an hour to walk. At a glance, he knew that his parents had no time to take care of him. He just found a place to throw it away. went in.There are always those people who are not living well and only care about how to support their families.

Under such conditions, it is naturally impossible for Ryan to have the opportunity to get in touch with cooking. It would be nice to have enough food every day.Although judging from Ryan's body, this may not be done very well.

"Stirring is quite simple." Kuru began to explain, "It literally means, you just turn everything in this container up and stir evenly."

It sure sounds simple.Ryan snorted and started to work hard.

Kuru left again, to bake some sliced ​​almonds for garnish later.

After a while, Kuru felt that the batter should be almost mixed, so he wanted to go back and take over, but Ryan was still stirring, and when he took a closer look, he was almost fainted by Ryan's technique.

"I said stir, I didn't tell you to draw a circle!" Kuru shouted.

Ryan stopped in shock, "No...isn't that so?"

"No," Kuru said angrily, "You've ruined my batter. It's going to be sticky, don't want it."

After speaking, Kuru picked up the mixing bowl and threw it directly into the trash can.Ryan stood by, not daring to say anything.Kuru looked back at him, and felt that he shouldn't be so angry. It's normal for people who enter the kitchen for the first time to make mistakes.

Kuru sighed, poured in the egg yolk, cooking oil, flour and other ingredients again, and taught Ryan by hand.The kid was very serious, watched him do it carefully, and then showed the correct technique when he tried to mix it a second time.Kuru praised him a few words.The child smiled and continued to work honestly.

After a busy afternoon, an exciting birthday cake is finished.When the customer came to pick up the items, he was quite satisfied with the finished product and said he would come here again next time.

Kuru took out the dessert from the freezer and gave it to Ryan as a compliment and celebration.The child took the thing, and for some reason his eyes were moist.He dipped a fork in the corner and talked to Kuru as he ate.

"I...I like this job, store manager."

"You like me to pay you in cakes instead of real money?"

"No...that's not what I mean, I mean..." Ryan swallowed, "It makes me feel good to be here. I can still learn from you..."

"You can learn the same things as any baker."

"Hmm... But... I still want to be a store manager, own my own dessert shop, and make a lot of money every day..."

Kuru couldn't help laughing.The kid doesn't know at all that he doesn't make money from opening a dessert shop, and he doesn't want to make money.What does he actually do?mining.At least he once co-founded and managed "Blue Gold Mining", a cross-galactic mineral exploration and development company. Later, in order to investigate the whereabouts of the Dragon Clan, he resigned from his original position, but still retained the second largest shareholding.

But kids, it's good to have aspirations.

Kuru touched Ryan's head, seeing the child eating so happily, the corners of his mouth continued to rise.

It would be great if he could adopt a child with Shatz in the future. Now he is not a naive little lizard. Of course he understands that Shatz cannot give him dragon eggs, but think about it, Shatz is such a gentle person, if he has a child , will definitely be a good parent.

The thin sunlight fell on the window sill, and even the outline of the storefront was shining.

From outside the door, you can see the red-haired young man behind the counter, sitting there blankly, like a puppet.Suddenly, his eyeballs rolled slightly, and he glanced at the other two.

Both of them were smiling.The man stroked the boy's hair and whispered softly, as if telling a joke only they could understand.

This scene is so warm that anyone who sees it will feel that they are close.

The people behind the counter stared at them steadily, their clear green eyes gradually deepening, casting a dark shadow.

Kuru: No, I mean I really have mines!
