Forgive me for a long time

After brewing two cups of coffee, the handsome man handed one of the cups to the mixed-race man, and then walked towards Min Shaoqi and Gu Ao.

Putting the coffee on the table next to him, the handsome man smiled and said: "Hello, this is the owner of my shop. I heard that you come here every day. It is very happy to meet people from your own country here. thing."

Min Shaoqi smiled and said, "It's because your bread and cakes are so delicious, you will always miss them if you don't come."

The boss smiled even more happily, and said: "My name is Tang Yue, the outstanding Yue. You can call me Ivan, I'm glad you like my cake. This is Jeffrey, his Chinese name is Zhai Chen, he is my lover."

The reason why Tang Yue bluntly stated his relationship with Zhai Chen was because he noticed the pairing rings in the hands of Gu Ao and Min Shaoqi.

Min Shaoqi also said politely: "My name is Min Shaoqi, and this is my lover Gu Ao. Nice to meet you."

Gu Ao nodded to the two of them, Zhai Chen's eyes flickered, but he didn't say much.

"I'm also very happy." Tang Yue sat down with a smile, looking like a very simple-minded person, "Are you here for vacation?"

Min Shaoqi nodded, "Yes. Did you learn your pastry here?"

Tang Yue said with a smile: "I also learned some in China before, and then I met Jeffrey, so I came here with him and studied more systematically here. I think it has been ten years. Same-sex marriage was not legalized at that time. , but the society is very tolerant of this aspect, I don’t have any pressure here, I can concentrate on learning pastry making, and later I opened this bakery, and the business has been good.”

"The cake you made is really special, and you will never get tired of eating it." Min Shaoqi praised.

"Thanks to the teacher who taught me at that time, he was a very serious person, but he encouraged us to innovate, and to use our similarities on the premise of a solid foundation. He often said that every kind of dim sum is a kind of life, and let us taste it. Only those who taste the meaning of it can be a qualified dim sum." Tang Yue said.

Min Shaoqi thought for a while, nodded and said: "This theory is very special, but it is indeed the case when you think about it."

"Yes, so I will be very happy if customers like what I make." Tang Yue said.

Tang Yue and Min Shaoqi had a lively chat here, while Zhai Chen and Gu Ao looked at each other for a moment after taking their seats, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Min Shaoqi took a sip of coffee and said embarrassedly: "I don't know if you accept apprentices, I like what you make very much, and I hope to open a shop like this when I go back. I haven't stayed here for a long time. I can’t go to school for a month, but I can pay the tuition in full.”

Tang Yue looked at Min Shaoqi, then at Gu Ao, and said with a sly look in his eyes: "Apprentice, I didn't confiscate it before. But you can learn it if you want. I won't charge you tuition, but I have a request."

Min Shaoqi thought for a while and said, "Tell me." They had never met Tang Yue before, so even if the other party made a request, it shouldn't be too much.

Tang Yue smiled and said, "Come to work together, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] noon every day. It must be the two of you together."

Min Shaoqi was a little surprised by such a request, but it's okay to ask him to work part-time, but Gu Ao... doesn't look like a part-time job.And let Gu Sanshao be the waiter...Crazy...

Gu Ao looked up at Tang Yue, then at Min Shaoqi who was hesitant, and said, "Yes."

Min Shaoqi looked at Gu Ao unexpectedly, he really didn't expect Gu Ao to agree.

Gu Ao said: "Let me tell you first, I have never done this job, so you should be prepared to mess it up."

Tang Yue smiled, and said indifferently: "It's okay, the important thing is that the person arrives."

Min Shaoqi looked at Tang Yue puzzled, and asked, "Why do you have to let him come?"

Tang Yue explained while sipping his coffee: "My shop only recruits waiters for couples. It doesn't matter if it's the same sex or the opposite sex. Anyway, we only want couples. Since it's a place to buy cakes, it's naturally sweeter. And you won't be able to come to learn for long, I don't care. Maybe I will charge you tuition fees, and it just so happens that you work part-time to cover your tuition fees."

After hearing what he said, Min Shaoqi couldn't help looking at the two waiters behind the counter, a man and a woman.At this time, there were no guests, and the two of them did not sit down to rest, but leaned against the wall, talking sweetly, and seemed to be immersed in the happiness of love.

Min Shaoqi looked at Gu Ao, and wanted to confirm with him whether he really wanted to come. If Gu Ao was not really willing, then he didn't want to learn.

Gu Ao nodded at him, and said: "You like to study, anyway, the working hours are not long." It's just that you need to get up early.But having said that, in this kind of food business, you must get up earlier than others, because you have to start preparing early in the morning, so that guests can have the freshest breakfast.Tang Yue probably also considered this, so he let them do the morning shift.

Min Shaoqi thought for a while, nodded to Tang Yue and said, "Okay."

Tang Yue smiled with satisfaction and said: "I will arrive at the store on time at five o'clock every morning to start work, and you can also come to study with me at that time. I usually come over at around five o'clock in the afternoon to prepare for the next day, and at eight o'clock Go back. You can also come and learn at this time."

"Okay." Min Shaoqi agreed.He is still very happy to have the opportunity to learn. After all, the cakes and bread here are really special. He really wants to run such a bakery after returning to China. Let him have something to do, he may not earn much, but it can be regarded as financially independent.

After drinking the coffee, Tang Yue took Min Shaoqi to visit the kitchen in a good mood.

Gu Ao and Zhai Chen stayed where they were.

Zhai Chen spoke first, "I didn't expect to meet Gu Sanshao here."

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhai either." Gu Ao responded.

Gu Ao and Zhai Chen knew each other, but they didn't have a deeper contact, they just met two or three times at the reception.Zhai Chen's father is Chinese and his mother is French. Zhai's father went to Europe very early to develop and finally settled in France.The Zhai family has a wide range of businesses. Although they didn't say they are particularly top in that line of business, basically none of the Zhai family has ever heard of a loss. It can be seen that the family is all about business.

Seeing Zhai Chen here, Gu Ao was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhai Chen actually had a gay-lover. He only knew that he was married before, but he never had children. .Because there is no opportunity for cooperation, the two have always been nodding acquaintances, and because of the large age difference, they can't mix in the same circle.

"Your lover is very good." Zhai Chen commented.Although it was the first time that Zhai Chen and Min Shaoqi met, based on his years of experience, he was quite accurate in judging people, especially such a simple child.

"Mr. Tang is also good." Gu Ao said.From the current point of view, Tang Yue is a person who is good at talking and not too scheming.

Zhai Chen smiled and said: "Ivan is very simple, he likes to make these desserts, so I naturally have to support his career. Don't mind him asking him to work part-time. For one thing, he really doesn't know you. Otherwise, I would not have made this request, and secondly, because a couple of lovers broke up and resigned three days ago, and the store has not yet recruited a suitable waiter, and I happened to meet you, so he probably did it on a whim."

"It's okay." Gu Ao didn't mind too much, "Anyway, Qiqi is studying here, and I'm fine staying at home, just to accompany him." To be honest, Tang Yue can still maintain such innocence after being by Zhai Chen's side for so many years , must have been favored by Zhai Chen.Otherwise, even if Tang Yue was originally innocent, he would have grown into an old fox after a long time.

Zhai Chen nodded appreciatively, and said, "You don't have to come here every Sunday, don't disturb the two-person world between me and Ivan."

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you sell cakes here?" He remembered that this shop had no holidays.

Zhai Chen nodded and said, "But it's only for one morning. I'll have a date with Ivan in the afternoon."

Gu Ao nodded clearly, and lamented that the French are really romantic, they have been together for so many years, and they still go on dates every week, and a person like Zhai Chen is willing to come here to serve as a waiter for his lover, which shows his deep affection.

Not long after, Min Shaoqi and Tang Yue came back after visiting the kitchen.

Zhai Chen had booked a restaurant before, and when he came here at this time, he was actually planning to pick Tang Yue up for dinner and then go home to catch up on sleep.

After making an appointment to officially come to work and study tomorrow, Tang Yue and Zhai Chen left first.

Min Shaoqi sighed that they had a good relationship, Gu Ao pinched his nose, and took the initiative to tell Min Shaoqi that he and Zhai Chen actually knew each other.

Although Gu Ao didn't have much contact with Zhai Chen, he felt that Zhai Chen's love and affection for his lover was worth learning.

From the next day, Min Shaoqi and Gu Ao entered the official dessert study and part-time job.

Although getting up early every day is a bit hard, but Min Shaoqi is smiling every day, which shows that he has gained something. Gu Ao feels that it is okay to work hard, and he can also cultivate the good habit of going to bed and getting up early.

At the beginning, Gu Ao was still not sure if he could do well, after all, he couldn't even recognize these snacks, let alone package them quickly and settle accounts.

But after starting to work, he found that his worries were unnecessary.

Every morning and evening is the busiest time in the store, Gu Ao is not very clear about the situation at night, he is only in charge of the morning shift.There are not many shops here, but there are several large office buildings behind the bakery. The employees there have no time to cook in the morning or are not used to cooking, so they will come to the shop to buy some bread and the like for breakfast , so there is always a queue at the bakery early in the morning

However, Gu Ao is not the only one during the peak hours of the morning shift. There is also a student party couple, a pair of girls, who come here at around 06:30 every morning, helping them survive until 08:30, and then go back to school for class.For this job, they did not choose morning classes, so they still have more time.

With the help of these two girls, Gu Ao's job is much easier.The two girls are responsible for helping customers pack bread or cakes, and then print the price tag from the bidder with the product name and price on it.Gu Ao only needs to be responsible for standing in front of the checkout counter to check out.This is not a problem for Gu Ao, anyway, after scanning the barcode, the machine will display the price, and then enter the amount of money to be charged, and the amount to be changed will pop up, so he can follow the change.

Although it was true that he was a bit uncertain at the beginning, after working for a few days, Gu Ao felt that he was quite suitable for this job, and he was not too tired. Feel more fulfilled than a day.

After the rush hour ended that morning, the couple changed their clothes, greeted Tang Yue, Min Shaoqi and Gu Ao, and went to school.

Gu Ao can also take a break, take the time to make himself a cup of coffee, and then sit on the chair in the counter to rest for a while.As an employee, you can drink coffee and black tea for free during working hours, and enjoy a [-]% discount on all cakes and breads.And this place is in charge of breakfast, usually Tang Yue cooks something simple in the kitchen, and then the employees on the morning shift eat along with them.

Sitting on a chair enjoying leisure, Min Shaoqi came out with a matcha chestnut cake, put it on the small table in front of Gu Ao, and said with a smile: "Thanks for your hard work."

Gu Ao smiled and pulled him to sit on his lap, and asked, "Are you tired?"

Min Shaoqi shook his head and said, "Try it, I just made it."

It was only then that Gu Ao realized that this matcha chestnut cake was much smaller than the ones sold in the store, and it looked like a practice product made by Min Shaoqi.Min Shaoqi has been learning how to make bread before, which is also the foundation. Only by mastering the degree of dough kneading and fermentation can we make better-tasting bread, and making cake bottoms is also learned along with kneading bread. Although the methods are different, they are both It is the basis for a dessert.Unexpectedly, after only a few days of learning, Min Shaoqi can already start making cakes.

Gu Ao picked up the fork with a smile, cut a piece of chestnut and put it in his mouth.This tasting was specially made by Min Shaoqi for him. The amount of sugar used was significantly reduced, which was just to his taste.

Gu Ao kissed him and said, "It's delicious."

This matcha chestnut cake is very popular with ladies, especially the Asian ladies who work here, because the amount of matcha is enough, so the taste of matcha can be tasted in the matcha cream, which is better than the one that can only see the matcha color. The matcha-flavored cake is not known how many times better.The top layer of the cake is also sprinkled with a layer of matcha powder, so that the unique bitterness of matcha and the sweetness of the cake itself complement each other.On the outside of the cake about three centimeters and the outer circle, a layer of crushed chestnuts was sprinkled, and a whole chestnut was placed at the junction of the matcha powder and the crushed chestnuts. The cake looks even more beautiful overall.And all the chestnuts are made of traditional sugar-fried chestnuts. There is a large pot in the kitchen dedicated to making sugar-fried chestnuts. Ao likes it very much.The leftover chestnuts will be packed and taken away every day, but they are almost always robbed. Every time, Gu Ao uses his work to secretly save a bag for Min Shaoqi, and enjoys a [-]% off employee treatment , is really very thick-skinned.

Min Shaoqi said happily: "Every time the teacher teaches me a lot of inspiration, I will make you an innovative one at home on Sunday, you can try it." Min Shaoqi has been called Teacher Tang Yue since the day he was an apprentice Yes, and has always respected Tang Yue, Tang Yue is also very gentle to Min Shaoqi, very careful in giving advice, and discussing innovations together, so the two are mentors and apprentices in name, but in fact they are more like friends.

"Okay." Min Shaoqi was interested, and Gu Ao naturally wanted to accompany him.He was also considering whether to buy some steak and wine when he went back on Saturday, and have a candlelight dinner or something in the evening.
