Baguettes and Macarons

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

Louie muttered, "But I'm not a chef at a Michelin restaurant, and I don't intend to work there. I don't have that height."

Yu Chen fiddled with the shirt he had just picked up, without even looking at him: "But you insist on making dim sum with high quality and price, supplying customers who don't have such a consumption level. If you continue like this, you will definitely go bankrupt. "

"I just want to keep my family's bakery open."

"You still want to not be manipulated by others and insist on making the bread you want to make, don't you?"

"...Yes, you guessed it right. I don't want to be told to do this or that."

Yu Chen checked the seam of the shirt, and asked casually: "Did your father say that a bakery owner who is free and easy must not open a high-end bakery?"

Louis was taken aback, and Yu Chen continued: "You can open a neat and high-end bakery and continue to sell the bread you are making now. Is this contrary to your ideal?"

Just as Louis was about to talk, Yu Chen untied the light purple round-neck shirt from the hanger: "This is it!"

Grandma Mary also came out of the room soon wearing new matching clothes.She was already a bit overweight, but the coarse woolen clothes hung just below her waist, creating the illusion that she was still well-proportioned.The dark blue floral skirt is paired with a simple sweater, which is unexpectedly restrained, looking very gentle and solemn.

But Yu Chen stared at the shoes on her feet and said: "These shoes have square buckles on them, and they are pointed toe. They look more complicated, and they don't match well. What's your shoe size? I think it's difficult for you to travel. You can take this shoe to a shopping mall in the city and buy a more suitable pair.”

"I'm sorry, because I only have these light gray shoes." Grandma Mary took off the shoes and gave them to him, "Then I will trouble you."

Yu Chen took the shoes and gave her the two newly picked shirts, "Would you mind trying these two shirts again, and pick the one you like. As for the shoes, I tend to buy lambskin shoes with round toes and no buckles , comfortable to wear, and suitable for this style of dressing. The price is about [-] Euros, do you think it is suitable?"

"Of course." Grandma Mary smiled, "Then I'll try these two things."

"Okay. I will match about ten more outfits in a while. After you try them out, we will design the corresponding hairstyles and accessories. It may be very hard." Yu Chen turned around, "By the way, Le Monsieur Grand, don't you have to look after the bakery? It's time for breakfast, isn't it?"

Louis came back to his senses, and said vaguely: "Oh, well, call me when you're done, and I'll pick you up."

"No, I remember the way."

There was no reason to come to pick him up, so Louis had no choice but to follow his instructions and go home to look after the store by himself.

However, today is the afternoon tea time, and Yu Chen hasn't come back yet. Eight hours have passed since he started working in Mary's clothing store in the morning. For this young master, this has already exceeded his maximum working hours in a day. .

Louis began to fidget, and managed to dispose of more than half of the baguettes baked today, and quickly locked the store door and walked to Grandma Mary's clothing store.But not to mention Yu Chen, even the owner, Mary, was gone.

Clothes and fallen cardboard boxes were thrown all over the store, making it a mess.

He took out his phone and searched through the address book, but there was neither Yu Chen's contact information nor Grandma Mary's.He just remembered that because he had no money to pay the phone bill, his mobile phone number had been suspended for several months, so he never thought of saving Yu Chen's mobile phone number.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he kicked the trash can on the side of the street, making a loud noise.Dominique poked his head out from the vegetable store and cursed, "Damn, what are you doing?"

"Where's Yu Chen? Where's Grandma Mary?"

Dominic was dumbfounded: "Yu...Yu what?"

"It's the same Asian man I brought to Grandma Mary's shop this morning."

Dominic suddenly realized: "Is it your little friend who looks rich?"

"Ah... yes, that's right, where is my boyfriend?"

Dominic snickered: "He drove Mary out in the afternoon."

"Where did he go?"

"How would I know? I was watering the lettuce here, and I happened to see them getting into the car, without even saying a word." Dominique narrowly said, "He is really rich, the car costs hundreds of thousands of euros, right? How did you fall in love with such a rich man?"

Louis said angrily: "It's none of your business. I'm leaving."

"Hey, wait a minute? Shouldn't you share this experience with us, let me find a rich mistress too, so I don't have to water the vegetables every day."

Louis kicked the trash can to his feet: "You are over 40 years old, poor and ugly, and you still want to find a mistress?"

"Love knows no age!"

"You can't even afford to buy roses for your wife on Valentine's Day. Which lover will fall in love with you?" Louis sneered, "The whole street knew about the fact that you gave your wife cabbage flowers last time. Someone will be your mistress."

"You better go away."

Louis waved to him and walked towards the store.When he returned to the bakery, he closed it, and ran upstairs into Yu Chen's bedroom.Unfortunately, the owner of the room is not here, nor did he leave any message.

Louis was standing in the house thinking about whether to call the police when suddenly there was the sound of vehicles passing by downstairs.He hurriedly stepped on his slippers and ran downstairs, just in time to see a dark blue sports car driving past the bakery door, kicking up a trail of garbage and dust.

That was Yu Chen's car.

Louis chased the car and ran to the door of Grandma Mary's clothing store. He was relieved when he saw Yu Chen get out of the car and go to the trunk door.I thought this kid was in some trouble, was kidnapped, or got lost in a neighborhood with complicated street conditions, but now it seems that he really just took Mary out.

Yu Chen glanced at him, smiled, unaware that he had caused trouble, pulled out the folded wheelchair from the trunk, put it next to the passenger door, and politely opened the passenger door.

Grandma Mary leaned out her upper body to support the wheelchair, and with his help, she sat back on the wheelchair successfully, and was pushed into her store by him.Louis quickly followed in.

Yu Chen said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Mary, I knocked over your shelf."

"It's okay, it's easy to bump into the shelves when you push the wheelchair out." Mary said, "Just put all the clothes in the box in a while."

Yu Chen said: "Then I'll clean up right away, you go back and rest first."

Louie interjected, "Wait a minute, what are you doing? Why do I think Grandma Mary has become prettier?"

"Thank you, Louie," Grandma Mary replied.

She had already changed into the shirt and floral skirt that she had originally matched, and she was wearing a pair of new shoes of the same color.But the more obvious change was that the wrinkles on her face appeared much smoother, her hair, which was usually coiled up in a regular manner, was also let down, and even her face looked smaller.

Yu Chen opened the door for Grandma Mary: "I took Ms. Mary to buy shoes, and I also went to a barber shop I know to cut her hair, and modified the position of her bangs. Grandma Mary has curly hair, and the bangs covering her forehead before would cause The lower part of the face looks wide, so now I ask the hair stylist to change it to a side part, exposing the face, but it will appear that the face is actually thin and long."

He leaned down and said to Ms. Mary: "You can also have your head up with this hairstyle, as long as you leave the bangs out. In addition, I suggest you use a comb to fix your hair instead, so it will look more everyday."

"Thank you very much for today." Mary said, "By the way, I haven't paid you your commission yet."

"According to my percentage, it's about 35 euros. In addition, the accompanying shopping of this level is [-] euros per hour, which adds up to [-] euros in total."

Grandma Mary took the checkbook out of her novice bag and wrote him a check.Yu Chen took the check and said with a smile, "I finished packing the clothes in the shop, locked the door for you, and went home. I wish you a nice evening."

"I also wish you a good evening." Grandma Mary blinked, "Louis, I'm sorry to take up your partner for an afternoon."

She closed the door of the house.Yu Chen bent down to help up all the cardboard boxes he found, sorted the scattered clothes into the corresponding boxes, and said to himself: "Why do you use the word partner? It sounds weird... By the way, le Grand, why are you standing on the corner?"

"Because you haven't come to buy snacks for afternoon tea."

Yu Chen turned pale with shock: "Yes! I forgot afternoon tea! This afternoon I have been waiting for Grandma Mary's perm at the barber shop, and I forgot the time for afternoon tea."

Louis said, "I thought something was wrong with you."

"Are you worried about me?" Yu Chen stood up and asked against the sunlight coming in from the shop door.

Louis took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket, smacked his tongue and said, "The law and order here is not very good, and I was blackmailed for accompanying you again."

Yu Chen smiled happily: "Thank you."

"What are you thanking for?"

"Since I was a child, people around me think that I have the ability to handle everything well, so no one has ever worried about whether I can eat well or whether it is safe to go out by myself." Yu Chen laughed, "Except for my parents Apart from my brother. Monsieur Legrand, is this also the landlord's duty?"

Louis lowered his head and kneaded the cigarette: "It seems to be beyond the scope of the landlord's obligations."

"But I'm very happy, and I'm very grateful to you." Yu Chen put away the clothes separately, lifted up the shelves, and stood up, "Are the afternoon tea snacks still available? I bought kusmi's spiced tea at the shopping mall by the way." , would go well with pound cake.”

Louis picked up the cigarette: "Then let's go back."

"Don't smoke in clothing stores."

"Got it, got it." Louis stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket, "Are you satisfied? Are there any other questions?"

"Yes, spring break is coming soon, do you have a travel plan?"

"What does spring break have to do with people who open their own shops?"

"When the time comes, the citizens will all go out for vacation, so don't we have no business to do?"
