Xie Qiujie made more date paste walnut cake, pea yellow and steamed cake today.

The old man said yesterday that he would come, so Xie Qiujie kept a portion of jujube paste walnut cake and pea yellow for the two old people.

Xie Qiujie had just packed desserts for the two guests when he looked up and saw the old man standing beside him watching him sell dim sum.

The grandfather looked appreciatively and said, "That's right, you can actually make Chinese pastries."

Chinese pastries and Western pastries have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the "appropriate" and "proper" Chinese pastries are like the different changes in Chinese food every day. A little less and a little more are all extensions of different tastes in daily life.

"I did some research when I was bored." Xie Qiujie said softly, "Grandpa, I made some pastries suitable for grandma today, you can take some back home."

Xia Youqing passed the printed photos to the old man by the way, "Grandpa, this photo is for you, I wish you good health."

The old man took the snack and smiled kindly, "Thank you, young man."

When I saw the photo, there was a flash of joy and nostalgia in my eyes, and then I couldn't help touching the photo with my old hand, "...we were just like you at that time."

After saying this, the grandfather took out a piece of pea yellow on the spot and tasted it.

Pea yellow is a traditional snack in Beijing. It is light yellow in appearance, melts in the mouth, cool and refreshing, soft and soft in taste, cool in taste, and the unique fragrance of beans instantly invades every corner of the mouth.

The old man closed his eyes and savored for a moment, then said, "Not bad."

Come here, it's worth it.

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, what's your name?"

Xie Qiujie said: "Xie Qiujie."

The old man looked at the photo again, then looked at the two people in front of him, and said kindly: "You make desserts with emotion. Dreaming is a very simple thing. I hope you can persevere on this road."

Xie Qiujie looked at the old man and nodded.

The old man handed him a business card, "I'm getting older and the times have changed, but the old man still hasn't forgotten the skills that he should have in his profession for decades. If you don't mind, I can go to your house and do some work for you. Guidance, accept you as a closed disciple, or if you pass by Shanghai one day, you can ask my apprentice to take you."

Xie Qiujie ignorantly took the business card, on which was written his name - He Chengmo.

He Chengmo, a well-known senior pastry chef in China, exists like a god on the Internet of baking. Over the past 20 years, he is still the ceiling of domestic desserts. He set up a stall in his early years and later studied in Paris. He worked as a pastry chef in the highest standard hotel in Paris.

His superb dessert skills allowed him to be invited by many well-known training institutions after returning to China, and he published a personal dessert book, which is still very popular and even out of print.

Xie Qiujie once bought his book in an old bookstore, and he has looked through it a long time ago. He Chengmo has only had two apprentices in his life, and both apprentices have developed very well, and they are often mentioned on Bakery.com .

Xie Qiujie raised his eyes in shock to the kind-hearted grandfather in front of him, "You? Teacher He?!"

Xie Qiujie only saw photos of He Chengmo when he was young on Baker.com, and he didn't associate the gray-haired old man in front of him with that great god at all.

The old man in front of him just smiled kindly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened, "It all happened a long time ago. Now that I'm old, I can't do enough to make desserts. It's okay to teach others."

"Xie Qiujie, are you willing to be my apprentice?"

Xie Qiujie couldn't believe it: "Can I?"

"As long as you are willing to."

Xie Qiujie looked at the old man's serious face and thought for a while, then took a step back and bowed deeply to the old man, "Yes! Thank you teacher."

He Chengmo went over to help him, and patted Xie Qiujie on the shoulder, "Then don't call me teacher, I am very optimistic about you, Xie Qiujie."

Xie Qiujie hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, Master."

He Chengmo looked at the night market in front of him, where people were coming and going, "Setting up a stall is actually a very good experience. The taste and life you experience in the market, watching everyone's different smiling faces and reactions when eating snacks, I will gradually integrate into my own thinking, with a solid foundation, do more research and ponder, integrate my own feelings and do it with my heart, and then create something that belongs to me.”

"It's a long road, but if you persevere, you will always succeed."

Xie Qiujie didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. He never thought that one day he would be picked up by the great god and accepted as a closed disciple, nor would he think that those unreachable characters would be related to him.

He looked at Xia Youqing beside him, Xia Youqing had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were bright, and he said silently, "Congratulations."

Xie Qiujie was suddenly very happy, as if everything was satisfied at this moment.

He Chengmo watched the subtle interaction between the two, the young and inexperienced relationship, always unaware when it grew and germinated, and then suddenly grew into a big tree without knowing when.

It happened that there was a customer who wanted to buy dim sum. Xie Qiujie went to pack the dim sum with an indelible smile in his eyes.

He Chengmo stood beside Xia Youqing, looked at Xie Qiujie's back with him, and said abruptly: "Young man, you like him."

Xia Youqing was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said frankly: "I like it."

From the first time he saw Xie Qiujie, he liked the feeling of Xie Qiujie, the inspiration Xie Qiujie brought to him, and the light and clear temperament of Xie Qiujie.

Xia Youqing is also considered half an artist, how could he not like his muse.

He Chengmo shook his head, "...that's not what I said."

As if recalling the past, he looked at the night market not far away, but in his eyes was a love that couldn't be concealed even after decades of time, "Xiaojuan accompanied me here like this back then, and if it wasn't for her, maybe I wouldn't There is a later me."

If there is no one who has always supported and loved him, he would not be able to persist for so long, and he would not be able to achieve success.

He Chengmo also stayed abroad when he was young. Love has many shapes, just like desserts. Most people are always misled, but he never felt that there was anything wrong with same-sex love.

Not this kind?Him and grandma?

This time Xia Youqing was really stunned.

Isn't that love?

He has always attributed his kindness to Xie Qiujie because Xie Qiujie was his inspiration, and he attributed it to the involuntary emotion in his heart, never thinking about love.

Personal feelings cloud his judgment.

Xia Youqing was stunned for a moment and did not respond, He Chengmo smiled helplessly, and patted Xia Youqing, "Young man, think about it for yourself."

Then he walked over and patted Xie Qiujie on the shoulder, saying: "You are busy first, I will not bother you, old man, and I have to go back to accompany Xiaojuan."

Xie Qiujie nodded: "Well, master, walk slowly and pay attention to safety."

Xie Qiujie took advantage of his free time and turned around to look behind him, smiled at Xia Youqing, then turned around and was busy entertaining guests.

Xia Youqing saw that when he smiled, it seemed as if stars were falling into the lake, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his clear eyes were slightly curved, clear and clean, and the ink dots at the end of his eyebrows were quite attractive.

Like Xia Youqing's favorite mountains, rivers and lakes.

That's how I felt when I first met Xie Qiujie.

Xia Youqing smiled self-deprecatingly, the first time he saw Xie Qiujie was like this, it couldn't be love at first sight, he never believed that he would fall in love with someone at first sight.

After laughing, he fell silent again.

Xie Qiujie found that after he was accepted as an apprentice by He Chengmo, Xia Youqing's mood didn't seem too high, and he looked like a quiet thinker.

After Xie Qiujie finished collecting the stall with him, he poked him, "What's wrong?"

Xia Youqing shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something."

Xie Qiujie didn't quite believe it, and said softly: "What are you thinking, maybe I can help you share the burden."

"You can't share."

Xia Youqing didn't even think about it himself. He had been alone for too long, and his parents were divorced since he was a child. For a long time, he actually had no concept of love.

Later, he has seen love and separation all over the world. In his mind, he has seen love but never thought about love. His attitude towards love is probably that it is possible but not necessary.

He likes a person's life, he likes to be free to do whatever he wants, he likes to travel and take risks all over the world, he doesn't like to be dragged down, he doesn't like someone to control him, and he doesn't like all the things that can restrain him.

Xia Youqing put the box in the rear basket, "It's not a big deal, I'm going to go to Dingbian Salt Lake to take pictures of the scenery, but you probably won't be able to leave here, so do you want me to find someone to help you? Safety."

Dingbian Salt Lake.

Xia Youqing has almost finished shopping in Xi'an. He mentioned it to Xie Qiujie two days ago, and asked if Xie Qiujie would go, but Xie Qiujie has a job here.

Xia Youqing continued: "Sanqiqi recently has a Hanfu Festival show to participate in. She and An Xia can't do it, and everyone else has their own jobs. I have a few photographer friends in Xi'an. Do you want to find them? They will accompany you and drive you over when the time comes."

Xie Qiujie didn't want to get along with people he didn't know, and he was ashamed to trouble others if he asked others to set up a stall with him.

It's just that Xia Youqing was not around, so he suddenly felt a little lost, but he also knew that Xia Youqing's job was to run around.

No one can keep him.

"No, you go to work, I'll just change the cart."

Xia Youqing frowned, "It's quite far from the community, and you can't do it alone."

Xie Qiujie said: "Master said that he will go home to guide me tomorrow. I won't make too much trouble in the past few days. It's fine."

"but……"

Xie Qiujie smiled and insisted: "Go and do your work, you can't stop working if I set up a stall, just take the dividends and be cool."

He added: "I feel very happy to see you taking pictures, and I also hope that you will always stick to the career you love."

He never wanted to restrain Xia Youqing. Xia Youqing was originally like the wind, unrestrained and free, and he shouldn't be trapped by anything.

Xia Youqing does what he likes, shines brightly, Xie Qiujie will be very happy.

"Okay, then take care of yourself," Xia Youqing said again, "Don't you catch a cold and have a fever as soon as I come back. The weather has cooled down recently. Although the heating has started, I'd better wear more clothes when I'm not here, and have snacks every day." You don’t need to do so much, you’ve already made a little money, pay attention to rest, remember to take the vitamins I bought every day.”

Xie Qiujie was funny, "Why are you so nagging."

It is true that he is a kind old father.

"I still think I'm long-winded."

"I said you were nagging."

"Isn't that the same meaning, Xie Qiujie, don't you want to live this day?"

Xie Qiujie couldn't help showing a little smile, looking at the street, the leaves on the street were blown by the wind, and asked an irrelevant question: "Time is so fast, it's already November."

Today, November 11nd, it was not long before the National Day when they first came to Xi'an, and now it has been almost a month.

"Yeah, we've known each other for so long."

When did you meet?

It is a sunny day in midsummer, when the wind blows through the clear springs in the mountains.

Xie Qiujie thought of something, and said again: "An Xia said, the regiment will be built on the 9th, will you be able to come back then?"

Xia Youqing can stay outside for ten days and a half months, even up to three months. While traveling and taking pictures of the natural scenery, he can feel the life of that city.

"Yes, I will definitely come back."
