Chapter 26 Osmanthus Cake

In the evening, Xie Qiujie and Director Chen met at a high-end restaurant.

Just as they had agreed, Xia Youqing was taken to Cengfan by the way. Halfway through the meal, Xia Youqing made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Director Chen and Xie Qiujie talked about acting.

But Xie Qiujie refused to eat hard and soft, and refused to agree no matter what, no matter how sugar-coated cannonballs were, it was useless.

Director Chen had a heart attack after eating a meal.

When paying, I was told that the average per person for this meal was four figures, although it was only a small amount for him.

But Director Chen was aggrieved.

On the other side, Xie Qiujie, who went whoring for nothing, went home happily.

Autumn and spring in Star City were not obvious, it lasted only half a month, the temperature dropped for a few days, the wind was gusty, and then suddenly the sky was clear and bright again.

Xie Qiu Festival This year's cold has not had time to be uncomfortable, and the weather is already warm.

The weather is fine, and the sweet-scented osmanthus in the community is very beautifully illuminated. From a distance, it is full of golden flower buds, like bright stars; from a close view, it is a small golden stamen the size of a grain of rice.

When Xie Qiujie stood on the balcony, he could smell the refreshing sweet fragrance of osmanthus.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the National Day is approaching.

In order for employees to cope better with their work during the peak business season of the National Day holiday, the store has a monthly holiday.

monthly leave.

Xie Qiujie and Xia Youqing were leaning on the sofa to watch the silent "Tom and Jerry", but Xia Youqing suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, so he went to open the door.

Outside the door is the grandma of the landlord's family, with a wrinkled face and a kind smile on her face, "Hey, Xiao Xia, is Xiao Xie at home?"

Xia Youqing said with a smile: "Good morning, grandma, he is at home, what can I do for him?"

"The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are blooming downstairs. I asked him if he wanted to make sweet-scented osmanthus flowers this year. If he doesn't have time to work, grandma will make some for him."

"Grandma, I'll ask him."

"Well, then grandma will go back and tidy up."

After closing the door, Xia Youqing looked at Xie Qiujie who was eating grapefruit candy on the sofa.

Xie Qiujie noticed his gaze, and looked at Xia Youqing from the TV, "Did someone look for me just now?"

Xia Youqing: "It's the landlord's grandma, asking if you want sweet-scented osmanthus."

Xie Qiujie stood up and went to the kitchen to find a clean tablecloth, "Yes, we also need to beat osmanthus."

Xia Youqing smiled and said, "Why do you still have friendship with the landlady's grandma?"

Xie Qiujie: "Last year, grandma fell in the community. I just happened to see her and sent her to the hospital."

The landlord was very grateful when he found out. After all, the old man couldn't fall. If it wasn't for the timely Xie Qiu Festival, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

So later, the landlord's family took good care of him, and sometimes asked him to eat at home, and would come to talk to him about playing sweet-scented osmanthus.

Xia Youqing and Xie Qiujie went down to beat the sweet-scented osmanthus, and clusters of finely divided sweet-scented osmanthus fell down like a golden drizzle, fragrant and fragrant.

Seeing that the beating was almost done, Xie Qiujie squatted under the tree and put away the tablecloth, "It's ok, we can't finish beating, we need to leave some fragrance of flowers."

"it is good."

When Xie Qiujie got up, his body was covered with small golden bones, his soft black hair seemed to be sprinkled with a little decoration, and his body was full of the sweet fragrance of osmanthus.

Like a tempting dessert.

Xia Youqing reached out to help him pat the sweet-scented osmanthus on his head, and smoothed his hair. It was soft, just like Xie Qiujie.

Xie Qiujie glanced at him, "What are you doing?"

Xia Youqing didn't change his face, "Help you take pictures of osmanthus, there are many osmanthus on your head."

"You have it in yourself."

"Well, so you want to help me take pictures?"

Xie Qiujie didn't think he had any other intentions, and was about to pat the broken osmanthus on his shoulder, when Xia Youqing suddenly squatted down slightly.

His head was exactly one head shorter than Xie Qiujie, Xie Qiujie was silent for a while, and patted him, "You don't have to squat down like this."

Xia Youqing just smiled lowly.

There were not many sweet-scented osmanthus collected, so Xie Qiujie put the sweet-scented osmanthus on the coffee table and picked out the impurities and flower stems.

This process is actually quite long and boring.

Xie Qiujie had to concentrate on picking flowers and not look at his lips.

But Xia Youqing felt that the years were quiet and beautiful. The two of them were facing the golden osmanthus flowers. The sun came in from the balcony and the fragrance of flowers filled the house. Even if they didn't speak, it was very beautiful.

After picking, Xie Qiujie washed it several times, added salt to remove the astringency, and then put it on the balcony to dry. After drying, it was clean and beautiful.

Add sugar and purified water to the pot, add lemon juice, cook until the sugar melts, then continue to cook, pour in the sweet-scented osmanthus, cook until it changes color, stir while cooking.

After cooling, it becomes thick, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is crystal clear and beautiful in color.

The remaining sweet-scented osmanthus, Xie Qiujie used it to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

The small cube-shaped white and crispy osmanthus cake comes out of the steamer, steaming. The osmanthus flower on the surface is beautiful and has a kind of luster. The freshly baked osmanthus cake is crystal clear and looks like a piece of nephrite jade in your hand.

After it cooled down, Xie Qiujie handed Xia Youqing a piece, "Try it."

"give me?"

Xie Qiujie glanced at him, "Otherwise, who else is there?"

Maybe the sun is too warm today.

Xia Youqing held the white, soft and harmless pastry, lowered his head and smiled and said, "Has anyone told you that you are very homely in Xie Qiujie? If you are like this, you want me to have a home with you."

When he said this, he didn't think too much about it himself, and even he didn't know how much it was a joke and how serious it was.

But he just said it.

Sometimes, Xia Youqing also wonders if it is true that he has been wandering freely outside for a long time, so he always wants to stay by Xie Qiujie's side.

Xie Qiujie fell into silence.

Inexplicably, he understood Xia Youqing's meaning in this sentence. There are two aspects to everything. Xia Youqing is free, free and easy, and wandering.

He didn't stay there for a long time. He grew up like a wild horse since he was a child. In fact, what his parents gave him was more material care.

Xia Youqing put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth, the taste is very waxy and delicate, and some grains melt slightly on the tip of the tongue, soft and sweet, with the lingering warmth of autumn.

Tasting carefully, the light to just right sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance is just like the lingering tenderness around you, which is fascinating, soft and sweet, sweet but not greasy, and the delicious fragrance of rice blooms on the tip of the tongue.

"If...you want to live here all the time," Xie Qiujie lowered his head and knelt on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "I will reserve that room for you. As long as you pay the rent, you can come back anytime."

At the beginning of October, Xie Qiujie was busy, and Xia Youqing was also busy, so he suddenly went to Beijing for a business trip.

During the long vacation, many foreigners came to Star City to travel, the business in the store was booming, and it was already late when Xie Qiu got off work.

Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate, thinking that it was Xia Youqing who sent him a message, and the exhaustion of the day became a little easier in an instant.

But turn on the phone and take a look.

[Xie Qiuri: Second brother, aren't you renting a house in Star City? Where are you renting? 】

[Xie Qiuri: My brothers and I were playing outside at night, and we accidentally forgot the time, and the school gate is locked. I want to stay at your place for one night. 】

[Xie Qiuri: Brother?Come back to me, your brother doesn't want to sleep in an Internet cafe. 】

The ease in Xie Qiujie's heart disappeared instantly, and he sent a message with a cold face.

[Xie Qiujie: Just you? 】

[Xie Qiuri: Yes, yes, it's just me, I definitely don't bring friends with me. 】

Although Xie Qiuri is really annoying sometimes, but no matter what, he is his brother after all.

[Xie Qiujie: Send you your address. 】

[Xie Qiujie: If I don't come before I fall asleep, you will sleep on the street. 】

[Xie Qiuri: Okay, okay!Second brother, I'll be there right away, you don't have to worry about me, just leave me a crack in the door. 】

Xie Qiujie looked at the slowly ending city, and went home without saying a word.

It was an hour later that Xie Qiuri sent him a message saying that when he arrived at the door, Xie Qiujie went to open the door for him, and immediately smelled the strong smell of alcohol and all kinds of mixed smoke on Xie Qiuri's body.

"Did you go to the bar?" Xie Qiujie frowned.

Xie Qiuri: "Well, second brother, I'm so sleepy now, don't worry about where I go to play, I'll just come and sleep."

Without further ado, he walked in with his shoes on. He turned his head and asked, "Second brother, where do I sleep? Give me some clothes. I feel so bad right now."

"Don't call me next morning at one o'clock in the morning."

Xie Qiuri chuckled: "Second brother, you won't leave me alone."

Xie Qiujie brought him a piece of home clothes that he didn't often wear, and pointed to his room, "Take a shower, you'll sleep in that room later, and the other roommate's, don't make a mistake, don't mess into other people's rooms."

"Okay." Xie Qiuri responded lazily and yawned, "Second brother, the house you rented is pretty good. By the way, Mom said she would come to see us in two days, and she cooked food at home. I'll bring it up, and you can send mom an address by the way, second brother, I'm so sleepy, I'm taking a shower and going to bed."

Xie Qiujie was silent, he was watching Xie Qiuri, worried that he would not live well here, and worried that Xie Qiuri would suffer.

He has been in Star City for two years, Liu Li never said that he would come to see him, only that you pay attention to safety.

There are only two bedrooms in the house. Xie Qiuri sleeps in his room. He takes out a quilt and spreads it on the sofa. The weather is fine these days, so it is fine to make do on the sofa.

Early the next morning, Xie Qiuri was still sleeping, Xie Qiujie left some breakfast money and a note on the coffee table, and went out to work.

On October [-]rd, the National Day holiday was less than halfway through.

It was already ten noon when Xie Qiuri woke up, "Second Brother, Second Brother?"

He yelled a few times but there was no answer. There was money on the coffee table, and he put it in his pocket, but there was no food in the kitchen.

Xie Qiuri rummaged through things in the kitchen, complaining, "Why don't you make breakfast before you leave, you have to go out to buy breakfast, this poor house doesn't even have an elevator on the fifth floor."

In the end, only a few months of cakes were found. He tore open the package and ate a few bites, and threw the garbage on the coffee table.

A video came from his brother asking where he was.

Xie Qiuri said: "Fuck, you idiot, I'm at my second brother's house, what did you ask me to do in the morning?"

The other end of the phone said: "Fuck your mother, it's almost 12 o'clock now, come out quickly, what the hell did you go to your brother's house yesterday, come to the Internet cafe to play games, let's go sing in the afternoon, let's get excited at the bar at night!"

"Hehehe, let's get excited later today. You saw that girl yesterday. She is beautiful and has big breasts. Don't go home tonight. Let's live a nightlife that adults should have."

Xie Qiuri also giggled, "Your mother is so exciting to play, wait, I change clothes and go out immediately!"

Yesterday's dirty clothes were still hanging out. He was about the same height as Xie Qiujie, but much fatter. He rummaged through Xie Qiujie's closet and finally found a set of clothes and pants that could be worn out.

When I went out, I saw a pair of last month's new sneakers on the shoe cabinet, and complained: "Damn, the second brother is really willing to buy such expensive shoes. Every time I want to order pocket money, I still deduct money. Know that you enjoy yourself."

After looking at the size, he could wear it, so he took off his shoes immediately.

He wants to wear it out to show off those grandchildren.

Although Xie Qiuri said he was staying for one night, except for one night when he didn't go home, the rest stayed at Xie Qiujie's house.
