Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

The more Shen Lie watched, the more surprised he was. He was surprised that Tangyu's steps were reasonable and orderly as if he had received professional training, and he was also surprised that he was more amateurish than amateurs when doing some simple procedures.For example, steaming purple sweet potatoes does not need to be so troublesome at all. Cover it with plastic wrap and use a microwave oven to finish it in minutes, but he insists on steaming it in a wok, which is a waste of time.Another example is chopping peanuts. He obviously has a blender beside him, but he foolishly uses the most old-fashioned way: shoot with the back of a knife.

At this time, the purple sweet potatoes had been steamed and put out of the pot. Shen Lie watched him coldly as he cut the purple sweet potatoes into cubes and put them into a stainless steel serving basin, then picked up a rolling pin.He couldn't help but reach out and grab the rolling pin in Tangyu's hand, frowning and asking, "What are you doing?"

Tangyu didn't understand what it meant, so she explained: "I have to mash these diced purple potatoes to make dough."

"Mash it into mud with a rolling pin?" Shen Lie's face looked like he had swallowed a duck egg dryly, and he couldn't help standing up anymore, and poured all the diced purple potatoes in the bowl into a household blender, and then Added some water and flipped the switch. After 30 seconds, he poured out the pureed purple sweet potato and said to Tang Yu, "Don't do stupid things again, OK?"

Tangyu stared dumbfounded, snatched the mashed purple potato in shame and annoyance, and hummed, "Whoever wants you to intervene, I can do it myself!"

"OK, I'll see you do it." Shen Lie smiled even wider in his eyes.Watching Tangyu take out the boiled lotus seeds, use a blender to grind them into lotus seed puree, stir fry them until they form large lumps, and then start to knead the dough and roll out the dough.

Tang Yu's noodle cooking skills are very eye-catching, and he is not sloppy at all. After cooking for half an hour, at the end, a thin layer of sweat oozes from his forehead.All of this was so wonderful and unreal that Shen Lie almost felt that the Tang Yu in front of him was a different person.Looking at the little guy's focused and serious expression, it was as if a breeze was blowing across the lake in his heart, and inadvertently, there was a slight ripple.

After checking the effect of the crispy dough, Shen Lie couldn't help but praise: "The crispy dough is very effective, Tang Yu, where did you learn this skill?" If you don't have five or six years of hard work, you really can't do it.But Tang Yu is only 17 years old this year. How could it be possible to say that he has been learning art from a teacher since he was ten years old without knowing it at all?

Hearing this, Tangyu's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Shen Lie would doubt herself, she hurriedly replied: "I learned it by myself." While talking, her hands didn't stop, she was busy wrapping the dough wrapped in peanut filling Wrap into balls for styling.This time he didn't dare to show off again, he only kneaded the dough into the simplest shape of a small animal.

The young man's fingers were extremely dexterous, but within a moment, a light purple shortbread in the shape of the twelve zodiac signs appeared in front of Shen Lie.Every little animal is pinched to life, it is naive, fat, Q and cute. It is really cute.Although it was only a small handicraft, it fully demonstrated Tang Yu's first-class creativity and excellent skills, which made Shen Lie secretly amazed and at the same time could not help but praise.

"Why don't you turn on the oven to preheat first?" Shen Lie reminded him in fear that he would forget.

"Oven?" Tang Yu was taken aback again, suddenly panicked, he couldn't find the oven in the kitchen, and thought of frying it in a pan. (Note: Ancient ovens had a very different natural shape than modern ovens.)

Shen Lie stared into his eyes, and asked calmly, "You don't know how to use an oven?" Seeing that Tang Yu was unable to answer, Shen Lie knew that he guessed right again.Kneeling down to turn on the oven, the man pointed to the temperature display: "Preheat at 180 degrees, for shortbread, bake for about 15 minutes."

Tangyu had read those dessert books, and he was always puzzled by the mention of tools that he didn't understand in the book, but now he finally knew how to use the oven.While nodding, he carefully wrote down Shen Lie's operations.

While waiting, Shen Lie pulled Tang Yu to his side and tortured him carefully, but unexpectedly found that this little guy couldn't answer anything.

Tangyu became more and more embarrassed by being asked more and more. In a hurry, she said, "Don't ask, I don't remember anything since I woke up that day!"

Shen Lie looked at him suspiciously. He absolutely did not believe that such a ridiculous thing as amnesia would really happen to Tang Yu.However, when he tasted the baked purple potato, lotus seed and peanut crisp, his firm confidence began to shake slightly again.Tangyu’s puff pastry is very well made, delicate and smooth, it melts in your mouth. What’s even better is that the double-flavored puff pastry with sweet purple potato puree and refreshing lotus seed paste is paired with moderately sweet peanut filling, which has a unique and delicious taste. The flavor was so good that he didn't feel tired even after eating two.

He never expected that Tang Yu could really make dim sum, let alone expect him to make this dim sum so well in such a short period of time.Something broke out of his control, and unexpected changes and developments occurred. Such a fact actually made Shen Lie slightly uneasy, apart from being surprised.

While Tangyu was eating snacks, he called Qi Changan and repeated his doubts.

"Learn a craft from a teacher?" Qi Chang'an on the other end of the phone seemed to hear the most ridiculous joke in his life, and he yelled happily: "You believe his nonsense! His time is spent on gay clubs, sex parties, Alcoholism and drugs are on the rise. You didn’t know it when you were abroad before, but I often invited him to the police station for tea. Is it possible that I didn’t know? You’re still learning from a teacher, and you’re learning one hundred and eight sex styles, right?”

He didn't learn one hundred and eight sex styles, but Shen Lie hadn't tasted it yet, but the snacks he made with his own hands just now under his nose can't be faked.Shen Lie squinted gloomily at Tang Yu who was eating snacks, he was eating happily, and there was a happy smile on his handsome face, this kind of expression, since I made it with him that night, I have never seen it again. It was on his face.

During the phone call, Shen Lie once again declared in a solemn tone that what he said was true, Qi Changan was also a little dazed, so he promised his friend that he would conduct a detailed investigation into Tang Yu's past.

After hanging up the phone and returning to the restaurant, Tang Yu was waiting for him: "How is it? Can the dim sum I just made pass the test?"

Shen Lie calmly opened a chair and sat down, and asked without answering, "Tang Yu, you are still so young, why don't you want to study and want to enter the dessert business?"

Tangyu answered with confidence: "I don't like reading, but I like making snacks. I want to make money!"

Shen Lie can't laugh or cry, well, at least he is willing to use the fruits of his labor in exchange for rewards, which is beyond criticism.Although I really want to tell him that he doesn't have to work hard to earn money at all, as long as he wants to, he can afford to support him.But for some reason, the serious and hard-working appearance of the boy when he was making dim sum just now was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't deny that he liked seeing him like this.If Tang Yu, who used to be drunk, drugged and promiscuous, was rotten like a piece of shit, then at least he looks like a man now.

What's more, with his grades that are enough to blind the eyes of titanium alloy dogs, he is indeed not material for studying. No matter how hard he works, he can barely get into the low-end pheasant university.Moreover, being able to restrain him by his side is only good for him, not harmful.

So, while it was still early, Shen Lie took Tangyu to the International Building, which was across the street from the apartment.This is the first time for Tangyu to walk on the street, and she can only see bright lights and neon lights everywhere, and the International Building is a high-end shopping mall in S City, with a splendid and magnificent entrance.Tangyu followed the man into the shopping mall, looked here and there, and felt that everything was new.

Shen Lie dragged him directly to a fashion salon, where he was a frequent visitor.Just after he opened the door, a young man with a golden mogan hair came up to him with a smile on his face, "Mr. Shen came to wash his hair today? Why didn't you call to make an appointment?"

"What? Today is full?"

"The VIP boxes are full, but there are vacant seats in the lobby."

"It doesn't matter." Shen Lie pushed Tang Yu out, "Help him cut his hair short, and then dye the color back to the color of a normal person."

"No problem! Do you look like a Japanese handsome boy? Or a Korean nobleman?" The Mogantou man carefully looked at the slightly nervous Tangyu, not stingy with the admiration in his eyes.

"You don't need to have a fancy haircut, just a clean and refreshing hairstyle." Such unscrupulous eyes made Shen Lie feel a little uncomfortable, as if his belongings were being coveted by others, which made people very unhappy.

"Can you not cut it?" Tangyu was a little anxious when she was pressed down on the seat and saw the row of scissors on the small table in front of the bright and dignified mirror.How can the body's hair and skin be cut off by his parents at will, and he still wants to grow his hair back.

"Huh?" The Mogantou man pursed his lips into a smile, and Dan Feng glanced at Shen Lie.

"Don't bother with him, cut it as I want." Shen Lie directly swiped his card to pay the bill, ignored Tangyu's wailing and turned around and went upstairs to the men's clothing brand store.Because he slept with Tangyu, Shen Lie knew what size he should wear, so he helped him buy a few sets of young and fashionable casual clothes, as well as some basic items.

Lifting his wrist and looking at his watch, he calculated that the time was about the same, then Shen Lie returned to the fashion salon on the first floor with his shopping bag in hand.From a distance, he saw Tangyu standing on the side of the street, a young man leaning on a sports car was holding his shoulders, chatting and laughing with him intimately.

This unexpected scene made the man frowned, and the corners of his rock-like lips curled up with a trace of coldness.

10. Boyfriend Appears

Tang Yu, who had her hair done, sat obediently in the lobby of the fashion salon and waited for Shen Lie, but the eyes of strangers coming in and out looked at him, which made him a little uneasy.
