Baguettes and Macarons

=======================

Jean-Luc, who has been upgraded from an amateur newspaper boy to a regular newspaper boy and has delivered newspapers for the entire neighborhood, is 16 years old this year.

After returning to campus, the time to deliver newspapers was only one hour before school every day. He couldn't finish it by himself, so he had to ask his younger brothers who turned from small carrots to big carrots to share the task together.But he personally delivered the newspapers on Shepherd Street.

He floated past the shop with a weekly newspaper ordered by House of Stars, and found that the boss still refused to open the shop before [-]:[-] in the morning, and only a few apprentices were cleaning the hall, so he had no choice but to turn around and go to the bakery next door—— Rachel's house.

"Louis, Mr. Yu, good morning. There is a new issue of the weekly newspaper you ordered. You must read the life edition."

As soon as he entered the door, he opened his throat and shouted.The baker Louis Legrand, who was guarding behind the cashier, raised his head together with Yu Chen, who was enjoying his breakfast in the sun, and said in unison: "Couldn't it be Leila's article that was published?"

"Tsk, it looks like you guys already knew." Jean-Luke was frustrated for a second when he didn't get a pleasant response, and he was happy when he smelled the aroma inside the shop. "The first oven of baguettes is baked?"

The neatly dressed baker opened the oven door: "You came just in time, just out of the oven. You can take it home and enjoy breakfast with your brothers while it's hot."

"Can I not pay?"

"No."

Yu Chen couldn't help laughing: "Please give me the newspaper first, Jean-Luc."

He put down the book at hand, picked up the newspaper, glanced briefly at the front page, and then turned to the life page.There was a huge color photo on that page, with Yu Chen on the left and Louis on the right, both of them were wearing formal suits, the only difference was in details and colors.

Yu Chen saw Louis raising his hand to straighten his tie, just revealing the spade-shaped cufflink on his cuff, and smiled again: "It's time to buy you a new pair of cufflinks, Louis. Let's go shopping in Lafayette this weekend .”

Louis wrapped a baguette and replied, "Okay. Your birthday is coming soon, I want to see what you like."

"Then you should be careful when you buy it now, so as not to make a wrong purchase again."

Louis put the baguette on the cash register and said with a playful smile, "Didn't I not be familiar with these things last year? Not this time?"

Last year for Yu Chen’s birthday, Louis observed a catalog he had read several times a month in advance, and secretly bought the jewelry on the cornered page—Alhambra series, quatrefoil, onyx material, everything They were all right, what was wrong was that he bought the earrings that looked similar as cufflinks and brought them home.

Because he felt distressed that he bought it with a month's turnover, Yu Chen didn't ask him to return it, and asked the craftsman to change it into a magnet earring, and wear it when he is not working.

Now this earring is worn on one ear of Yu Chen, he reached out his hand to touch the earring, and said, "I also have to think about what to buy for you. If there is an interview next time, I can wear new accessories .”

Jean-Luc interjected, "Is Mr. Yu so confident? But the author of this article is Leila."

Yu Chen said kindly: "That's right, Ms. Leila will choose us as the object of her first report, there must be human elements in it. But she is right, 'Rachel's House' and 'Star House' The perfect combination, together attracting fashion people to visit the suburbs, has a small reputation in the city.

"Now the guests who come to the House of Stars will drop by Rachel's house to have something to eat. Similarly, the students who are attracted by the desserts are also interested in visiting next door. I didn't have many student customers in the past. We are a perfect match and will become more and more more famous."

Jean-Luc stuck out his tongue, noncommittal.Seeing that there was no one in the shop, Louis pointed at him, "I'm not the Louis Legrand I used to be. Now I'm a well-known shop owner, understand?"

"Understood, I'm going home to cook, have a good day!" Jean-Luc threw down the coin, picked up the baguette and rushed out of the bakery.

Yu Chen laughed, took the newspaper and walked to the cash register: "Do you want to read it?"

"Of course," Louis stretched his head to look, tsk tsk said, "This photo is not bad, I want an original photo from Leila as a wedding dress, right? But the title is too exaggerated, right? What is the 'art of the heart'? '?"

"Didn't you say that yourself during the interview?" Yu Chen pointed to the fine print in the interview clip below, "When Leila asked us what we thought of the shop next door, you replied, 'Thank you, the owner of Star House, for teaching me a lesson. A new art, which is the art of the heart'."

"Then you answered 'Mr. Legrand taught me the same art', tsk, it's really nasty." Louis took the newspaper, "Quick, put it in a photo frame, I want to hang it in the store."

Yu Chen agreed with a good voice: "I don't have many appointments today, but I have to go shopping with clients, so I bought a photo frame at the mall and brought it back. What do you want?"

"You can choose whatever you want." Louis tilted his head and kissed him on the cheek, "But I think, let's go shopping together on the weekend, and go to IKEA to buy a new bed by the way."

"New bed? Don't worry, don't show the things in the bedroom to others, as long as they can be used."

"That can't be done. The bed is too old, it makes noise when you move it, and it's very hard. It should be replaced long ago." Louis blinked, "Even if we don't show it to others, we should make ourselves comfortable. Now we do the art of the heart. It’s time to think about the art of living, right?”
