Baguettes and Macarons

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

Louis himself didn't know why, in just five days, he went from being the owner of the majestic bakery to being the janitor of the sissy clothing store next door.

And it was he who moved his legs and walked over.

"It must be because there is nothing to do every afternoon, it's too boring." He picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and comforted himself in a low voice, "I'm here to see the sissy make a fool of herself."

On the tea table in front of him was a set of plain bone china teacups. Although it looked ordinary, when Yu Chen brought it out, he reminded him that this set of teacups was worth a shop of Louis.Although he didn't find anything worth thousands of ohms after turning it over and over again, Louis was still very nervous by him, wishing to hold the cup with both hands to prevent it from falling apart.

However, the tea in the cup was really delicious. It was the first time for Louis to drink a black tea with a rose aroma after growing up.Because it is black tea with a clear color, it looks good in a white porcelain cup.

On the dessert stand is a row of small fruit tarts. Raspberry, strawberry, mango and melon tarts are arranged in staggered colors. With the lights refracted by the crystals in the store, it is a bit too bright like jewelry.

Louis hesitated for a long time, glanced at the deserted street outside the door, and the closed studio, quickly picked up a caramel apple tart, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The apples produced in Spain are fragrant and soft. If you eat them directly, they are like soft fermented dough, but after being wrapped in caramel, they become crispy and rich, accompanied by the aroma of fermented cinnamon.Caramelized apple slices are covered with ghee tart skin, and when bitten together, there is both a thick buttery aroma and a refreshing fruity sweetness.

Faced with this caramel apple tart, Louis did not hesitate to praise him.

Because it is baked by Mr. Louis, the traditional pastry chef of Legrand Bakery.The caramel ratio of this caramel apple tart was recently adjusted by Louis. It was baked with the new recipe for the first time this morning, and Yu Chen bought it after seeing it.Of course, he loves his own works in whatever way he sees them.

I hate that this sissy bought it and didn't eat it, so she just put it in the store.If it is not finished within two hours, the fruit on it will be stale.

"What a waste," Louis complained, taking a raspberry tart.

"What did you say?"

It was Jean-Luc who heard his complaint through the studio door and asked aloud.

"Nothing!" Louie put down the raspberry tart, patted the crumbs on the jacket, and shouted, "Have you finished your work? Come out and eat dessert!"

Jean-Luc responded: "Immediately, there is only one button left, wait for me, don't eat it all!"

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated to the studio, and after 5 minutes, he couldn't wait to come out, and he didn't even care to wipe his hands, and went to grab snacks with shell powder stained on them.Now, even a man like Louis who didn't wash his hair every five days couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the tissue paper on the table and threw it to him: "Don't wash your hands while Yu Chen is away, at least wipe your hands before eating."

Jean-Luc wiped the shell powder with a napkin and muttered, "You have the nerve to call me!"

"Why am I embarrassed?" Louis spread his hands, "As a baker, I always wash my hands before touching food. It doesn't matter if you dress sloppily, but you can't touch food with dirty hands. It's a desecration of food."

"I see, don't talk anymore. I'm going to wash it now!" Jean-Luc didn't have the upper hand in the quarrel due to his size, so he had to hang his shoulders and go to the guest bathroom. After washing his hands, he dried them with a dryer. Do it, and come back to devour the snacks.

He swept away the first layer of the dessert shelf like a storm, and then realized belatedly: "Recently, in Mr. Yu Chen's shop, the desserts you made are displayed every day!"

Louis glanced at him: "He comes to buy it every day, what's the matter?"

Jean-Luc said slyly: "And every day is different."

Louis recalled the cheesecake the day before yesterday, the pancakes yesterday and the fruit tart today, and had to agree: "Yeah, he buys snacks he hasn't tried every day, but it's a pity that most of them end up in your bastard's stomach .”

Jean-Luc said with a grin: "After all, Mr. Yu Chen said that this is an employee benefit. During the time when he is working for him, you can eat any snacks in the shop. However, I ate them all. Are you sorry? ?”

"What's the pity?" Louis asked back inexplicably.

Jean-Luc wiped the crumbs from his mouth, and analyzed solemnly: "I have bought bread in your bakery for several years, and I have never seen you bake so many kinds of dim sum. You have never baked bread in your shop. There are only desserts like macarons and bagels that won’t go bad without a refrigerator, and the rest are baguettes and meal buns.”

"so what?"

Jean-Luc shook his finger: "Since Mr. Yu has been buying dim sum in your store for a few days, you have made a new plate of dim sum every day that is not easy to store, and put it in the most conspicuous place waiting for him to buy it!"

Louis choked for a moment, and couldn't think of an excuse for a while, so he simply said the truth: "Because he is very focused when eating snacks, I am happy to see it. Good snacks must be given to people who understand it."

He glanced at the snack residue at the corner of Jean-Luc's mouth, and added: "Of course, a mud monkey like you who eats so much will never get such treatment in a lifetime."

Jean-Luc pinched his nose and said in a tone: "Mr. Legrand, you are classist. Tasting snacks dignifiedly is of course the kind of rich people who have a higher education."

Louis snorted heavily, but without answering, grabbed the mango tart that Jean-Luc was aiming at and stuffed it into his mouth.

Just as the freshman and one were having a snack, the silver bell hanging on the shop door suddenly rang softly.Louis immediately recalled that he had agreed to help Yu Chen look after the shop, turned his head quickly, and asked in a rough voice, "Who? What are you doing?"

Just about to push the door open was a middle-aged woman in a light purple dress.She has a slender figure and is well-maintained. The gentle purple clothes set off her white skin. Only the fine lines at the corners of her eyes show that she may be nearly forty years old.

There was a pepper white mini car parked outside the door. This woman came by car, and her clothes were the same, which showed that she was not a resident of this poor neighborhood.

The female guest was taken aback by Louie's harsh voice, but she immediately regained her composure and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Yu Chen's studio?"

Louis answered with drooping eyelids, "He's gone out."

"Excuse me, may I ask if he is going out temporarily? How soon will he be back?"

Louis took a mouthful of the fruit tart: "He said he would go to the main store in the city to pick up the customized clothes, but I don't know where his main store is and how long it will take to go back and forth."

"Well, I went to the studio in the urban area to look for him first. I didn't find him, so I drove here according to the address given by other designers. It seems that we missed it by accident." The female guest raised her wrist and looked at him. Looking at the simple watch, "The studio in the urban area is only one hour away, I think he should be here soon. Can I wait for him here?"

"what ever."

The female customer took off her hat, walked into the store, and asked, "Excuse me, may I sit down?"

Louis snorted and shrank his hands and feet: "Sit down, there are so many places."

"Thank you." The female guest replied politely, landed on the single sofa beside her, stopped looking at them, and took out a classic novel from her handbag to read.

Jean-Luc asked curiously: "Ma'am, are you Mr. Yu Chen's customer?"

The female guest raised her head and said with a smile, "I have been his customer since three years ago. How about you, sir?"

Jean-Luc scratched his hair: "Ah, I barely, I can barely be his customer. By the way, are you rich?"

It's impolite to directly ask about income, but the female customer didn't mind, and Wen Sheng replied, "I'm probably considered to be a middle-income earner."

"It's great to have money. You don't have to worry about eating and sleeping well, and you still have money to dress yourself up." Jean-Luc showed a look of fascination, "Then do you know how much Mr. Yu Chen makes a set of clothes here?"

Just as the female guest was about to answer, the silver bell on the door rang again.This time it was the shopkeeper who opened the door carefully and came in with a dust bag.

Yu Chen raised his eyes to scan the store, and immediately put on a surprised and enthusiastic smile: "Ms. Ai Lei? Why did you come to this store? I remember that after discussing, I should hand over your appointment today to Yuya." .”

Mrs. Alley apologized: "I'm sorry, but I still think your design is more in line with my preferences. Although the collocation plan discussed with Mr. Shiraishi today is beautiful and decent, I don't think it's amazing enough. I still want to invite you to be in charge of this time. design."

Yu Chen happily replied: "Then I will inform Yuya today, and I will be in charge of this design instead. However, due to some personal reasons, I have to work in this suburban studio for the past few months, which may cause you a lot of trouble." Can you accept the inconvenience?"

Mrs. Ai Lei nodded, and Yu Chen smiled and said: "Then I'll finish trying on this outfit, and I'll come to receive you right away, please have some snacks as you like..." He glanced at the empty dessert stand from the corner of his eye, and had no choice but to change his words , "Take some tea. Then come with me, sir, your clothes are ready."

Jean-Luc stuck out his tongue: "You guys are so formal, I'm so scared."

While complaining, he stood up, slapped the snack residue on his body, and followed Yu Chen into the fitting room.

They went in for a long time, and when they finally came out, Louis and Mrs. Alley were stunned for a moment.

Even Louis didn't dare to say that the person Yu Chen brought in and brought out was still the same person.Jean-Luc's face suddenly became clean. Except for a little redness from rubbing, it was clean and unstained, and his curly hair was combed neatly and smoothly.Wearing a khaki long-sleeve top, overalls, and dark green sneakers, he looked a bit like a wealthy businessman's kid from a private elementary school.

But his clothes are not regular and serious school uniforms, the soft fabric and loose collar are more like the design of sportswear.

Looking at it this way, Jean-Luc looks quite handsome and cute.
