Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

He asked in a low voice, "Tangyu, where are you from? The police station can't even find your information? And your master——Lu Qianshan, can you introduce me to him in the future?"

"You want to see his old man? I'm afraid you won't have this chance." Tangyu rolled her eyes and explained in a half-truthful way: "Actually, Master and I are not from big cities. My hometown In a place... very far away, very remote, with no communication with the outside world. In our place, I have never seen you city people, nor do you have the things used by city people. Even me, it was also because of an accident I just drifted outside, and now I can’t find my way back by myself.”

Listening to what he meant, Shen Lie seemed to come from a remote and closed mountain village, remembering that he was stupid when he was by his side at the beginning, he didn't know how to use anything, and he couldn't operate it when making snacks in front of him for the first time Those modern kitchen appliances.Moreover, his techniques for making dim sum are all traditional techniques, and he doesn't know much about pastry. It was only after he was with himself that he began to expand his knowledge about desserts.

All of this seems to confirm his origin from the side, but he and Tang Yu look so similar, and their names are so similar, which is still a puzzling mystery.Moreover, he went to the hospital to check repeatedly before, and it was confirmed that Tang Yu had been seriously injured and comatose since he was admitted to the hospital, and it was absolutely impossible for him to get lost or mistaken for someone.

But no matter whether these confusions or incomprehensions, they could not stop Shen Lie's feelings for Tang Yu.It has been almost two years since I met him, and his conduct, personality, and conduct have absolutely nothing in common with Tang Yu.He had missed too much because of this doubt in the past, and he must not make the same mistake again and again.

"Are you hungry?"

"Hungry—" Tangyu wrapped herself around the man like a jelly candy, and murmured coquettishly, "I was so tired last night, I don't want to get up now, I want you to wait on me and order breakfast for me."

"Greedy cat! Don't stay in bed! Didn't you brag about being young and energetic just now?" Shen Lie got up first, seeing that Tang Yu not only refused to get up, but also pulled the quilt to wrap herself into a big ball and rolled around on the bed. With a smile, he stepped forward and grabbed the quilt to catch the little guy out of it.

"The competition is over, it's rare to sleep late!" Tang Yu poked her head out of the bed, her palm-sized face wrinkled into a ball.

Shen Lie pampered the little guy's messy hair, and coaxed: "The breakfast in the hotel is also very boring, I'll take you out to eat delicious food, if you like it!"

These words really made Tang Yu's heart ecstatic, just when he got up to look for clothes to wear, Shen Lie's own cell phone rang a notification tone for a short message.

Picking it up to take a look, Shen Lie suddenly changed his mind, and said with a slightly apologetic expression: "Xiaoyu, you'd better have breakfast at the hotel first, I have something to do, I have to go to a place to buy something. After you come back , I’ll take you shopping again!”

"Oh? Why don't you take me with you when you're shopping? Why don't you go shopping after eating!"

Shen Lie smiled and rubbed his earlobe, pretending to be mysterious and said: "That's not acceptable, the things you buy must be kept secret first!"

What precious things do you have to keep secret? !Seeing the man go to the bathroom to wash up, Tangyu lay back on the bed dissatisfied, and glanced at him, only to see that the screen of his phone was still on.I picked it up and looked at it, but there was only a short sentence on it: "I'm here, come to the airport to pick me up."

But the sender was someone he hated - Hai Zhongting.

What is this guy doing in Holland?Tang Yu frowned, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.

The diamond factory GASSAN named "Kaishan" is located on a quiet street in the old city of Amsterdam, which is close to the suburbs, and there are some old cottages on the other side of the street.The red brick walls are mottled with succulents and black vines that seem to have spread for decades, full of ancient charm, and the porches with blooming flowers in every household add some poetic charm to this tranquility.

Hai Zhongting took Shen Lie all the way to the yard of the factory area, and as soon as he entered the door, he could see a red brick chimney standing abruptly in the yard.Although this huge chimney has been dusty for a long time, it can also give people some reverie about the European industrial age in the [-]th century.

Just after entering the building of the factory area, there was already an assistant who specially received VIP customers waiting at the guard with a smile on his face.When he arrived at the VIP room, the assistant first briefly asked Shen Lie about some requirements, and then through the factory's intercom system, he asked for a few samples of higher-grade diamonds for him to choose.

After a while, those extremely expensive loose diamonds were sent to Shen Lie through the airflow conveying system in the sealed duct of the VIP room.

"Congratulations, it seems that Tang Yu has been chased back? Are you preparing a wedding ring so soon?" Although Zhong Ting was smiling, there was still a hint of bitterness in his mouth.

Shen Lie said with a hearty smile: "It took a whole year and it was really hard work. Fortunately, Xiaoyu is kind and tolerant, so I have the opportunity to be with him again. But the wedding ring is not in a hurry. This time , I am going to make a set of engagement diamond earrings first."

"Using earrings as a love object?" Zhong Ting raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This is rare, Shen Lie, I never thought you were such a romantic person."

Shen Lie explained with a smile: "As an engagement thing, I naturally hope that he and I can wear it all the time so that we can see each other at any time, but we are both dessert chefs, so it is not suitable to wear rings and bracelets all the time. Jewelry, if it's studs, is unaffected and can be worn at any time."

It turned out that this man was really careful.Zhong Ting sighed softly in his heart, but it's a pity that the more he thinks he is good, the more regret he can't ask for.

The room became quiet all of a sudden. Seeing that although Shen Lie was carefully selecting those crystal clear gems, Zhong Ting shook his head helplessly, took the tools equipped in the VIP room with a smile, and picked out two gems for him. First-class diamonds, motion him to see:

"Shen Lie, what do you think of these two 1-carat diamonds?"

Shen Lie took the diamonds carefully, and nodded while looking at them. In fact, these beautiful little things were not very different to him, but the two that Zhong Ting handed over were even more pure and flawless, which made it hard to put it down.Just by imagining how beautiful this shining diamond would be on the little guy's pink and tender earlobe, a smile already appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

"It's just these two pills, I'm very satisfied."

Zhong Ting discussed with the VIP receptionist, and then told him: "Including ear plugs, bottom brackets and inlay processing fees, the total is [-] Euros. When you leave the Netherlands, you can also apply for a tax refund, which is equivalent to a [-]% discount."

"It's thanks to you that I can order this pair of earrings at such a cheap price, Zhong Ting, thank you for coming here!" Shen Lie said very sincerely: "I owe you another favor."

Zhong Ting glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Don't say that, if you want to talk about favors, I owed you before... I have always felt guilty for not telling you about Tang Yu's stay at the club earlier."

Although he misunderstood Tangyu for a long time because he did not tell the truth, Shen Lie still said gratefully: "Zhong Ting, you can give me the club's private video, I am very grateful .”

"Shen Lie, thank you for saying that." Under the rising sunlight, Zhong Ting glanced at him, that sculptural handsome face was so close to him, yet so, so far away.

When the plane back to China landed at the airport, Tangyu still had a displeased look on his face. That's how he was, he put all his emotions on his face and didn't like to hide it.

"Are you still mad at me for what happened yesterday?"

"Why do you want to go with him to buy something? I didn't see you bring it back after I bought something. Who knows if you're kidding me again!"

Seeing that the little guy was so jealous, Shen Lie couldn't help but sniggered, and didn't explain much at the moment, just smiled and said: "I'll let you know what I bought. As for Zhong Ting, you don't have to worry too much, if I like him , I have been with him for a long time when you left! God testifies, now I am thinking of you wholeheartedly. "

Tangyu gave him a sideways look, and snorted softly, "God is not reliable, anyway, I don't want to move to your place, I have to observe and observe again during this time!"

Shen Lie held back his laughter, and said seriously: "Okay, I'm waiting for inspection anytime!"

"Also—" Tang Yu hesitated for a moment before asking, "Shen Lie, did you borrow the loan from Zhong Ting for the store?"

"Why do you think of asking this?" Shen Lie raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.

"I don't want the money you owe him. How much is still owed? If you are short of money, the [-] euros I just won can pay you back his money first."

The serious look of the child made Shen Lie feel so soft in his heart, he gently took his hand, and the man said in a reassuring tone: "Don't worry about this, although Zhong Ting helped me get the loan, the creditor It's not him. Moreover, Black Swan's current profitability is steadily increasing, and there is no pressure to repay the loan. You keep your bonus for yourself, so how can I ask for your money."

Tangyu was suspicious, but didn't ask any more questions.Shen Lie took him to pick up his luggage and walked out of the airport lobby. When he looked up, he saw a striking banner among the crowd: Congratulations to Mr. Tangyu, the first-class pastry chef of the five-star Sandi'an Hotel, for winning the "World Dessert Master Challenge" in the Netherlands The station champion returns with honor.The red background and the gilded characters are very festive. There are more than a dozen mid-level and senior managers of the Shengdi'an Hotel waiting in neat suits. Several of them are holding flowers in their hands, and their faces are full of joy. .

What's even more outrageous is
