Chapter 19 Ling Xuan came and learned to make pancakes
Sun Cheng made an appointment with a few good friends to play together early in the morning.
The Internet cafe was near the school, and he waved his hand and generously booked the whole place.
I have been playing since eight in the morning until just now. If I wasn't so hungry, I would have played a few more games.
I could have just ordered takeout, but a friend strongly recommended a pancake stall in the back street, saying it was delicious.
A group of people came out of the Internet cafe in a mighty procession, walked around in a circle, just to eat a pancake?
Sun Cheng disagreed and thought to himself: No matter how delicious pancakes are, how good can they be?
But ten minutes later—
"Uncle, your pancakes are so delicious!"
Sun Cheng sat on a small stool nearby, with nowhere to put his long legs, so he just stretched them out like that, holding a biscuit in his mouth. He talked while stealing glances at Jiang Fuyue.
She is so white and has beautiful legs.
Across from them, Sun Cheng and his buddies stood in a row, each holding a pancake, eating while watching the show.
"I really want to ask Sun Cheng, does your face hurt? You were so reluctant just now, and now you're like a dog."
"I don't know him yet? He's probably attracted to that girl."
"Who?" Some were slow to respond.
"See? That girl in front of the pancake stall, so white, so thin, and so pretty!"
"Hehe... I'll take a picture of it for you." He took out his cell phone.
After filming, he thought about it and sent another copy to Ling Xuan.

On a quiet afternoon, Ling Xuan finished practicing the piano and went downstairs to the living room.
Just as I was about to get some water to drink, the WeChat notification tone rang on my phone.
He pressed the switch and unlocked the screen at the same time. He read the words first, curled his lips slightly, and then clicked on the video.
A familiar figure came into view. As the camera moved forward and the picture zoomed in, the girl's face became clear.
It was a beauty that even the blurry image quality couldn't resist, except that those eyes were too calm, even indifferent.
It's like a deep ocean.
Ling Xuan couldn't help but think of the way she raised the corners of her mouth and said he was not worthy, tsk...
Very wild!
The water bottle was full, but he didn't feel like drinking anymore. He picked up his coat and strode out the door, telling the driver to get the car ready. While waiting, he sent a message to the other end:
【address】
"Huh?" The man stared at the screen in a daze, holding a piece of pancake in his mouth.
"What are you talking about?"
"Ling Xuan said... he'll be here soon? Let's wait here for a while."
"Huh? A good student doesn't stay home to study or practice piano, but actually wants to join us. Weird! Very weird!"
"What did you just send him?"
"Sun Cheng stared at that woman intently, with an expression of deep love."
"I guess Ling Xuan wants to laugh at him in person..."
A quarter of an hour later.
Ling Xuan, still wearing the shirt, vest and tailcoat he wore when practicing piano, stood in front of the pancake stall with a blank look in his eyes.
So...what was he trying to do by coming all this way here?
Jiang Fuyue asked for the second time: "Student Ling, what do you want to eat? If you want to eat, tell me. If not, please stand away and don't disturb others' business."
He pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "...give me a family photo."
Sun Cheng: “?”
Brothers: “?”
Five minutes later, everyone, having filled their stomachs, prepared to return to the Internet cafe.
Ling Xuan was half-carried forward: "Ah Xuan, since we're here, why don't we play a few rounds? We'll team up later..."
Sun Cheng deliberately fell behind, "Um... classmate Jiang, I'll come back to buy your pancakes in the future! They're really delicious, especially delicious--"
Ling Xuan suddenly broke free from the man, fell back, and grabbed Sun Cheng: "Are you done yet? Let's go."
His voice was deep and his eyes were impatient.
Jiang Fuyue was just lowering her head to take off her gloves, and when she heard that, she didn't react at all.
Ling Xuan sneered and walked quickly.
"Hey, let go, I can walk on my own. Why is it like I'm riding a Hot Wheels..."
After finishing this work, Jiang Da urged Jiang Fuyue and Jiang Chenxing to go home.
"...We still have to cook. Business is good today. Wait for dad to give you guys a snack tonight!"
The brother and sister picked up their lunch boxes and left.
Passing by a bookstore on the way, Jiang Fuyue pushed the door and went in.
She didn't buy anything, just walked around the bookshelf, stopping occasionally.
Jiang Chenxing followed behind, looking left and right, and would stop and flip through the books he liked.
The two stayed for nearly half an hour before coming out.
As Jiang Da promised, dinner came with an extra meal: a whole poached chicken topped with seasoning, which was both fragrant and spicy.
The brother and sister each got a chicken leg, and Jiang Fuyue tore off half of it and gave it to Han Yunru.
"Yueyue..." She wanted to say that she was not hungry.
But when he met his daughter's clear and cool eyes, he could no longer utter any words of refusal, and was left with only emotion.
Jiang Xiaodi followed suit and said, "Dad eats too."
“Okay, okay…”
The next day, Sunday, Jiang Fuyue went to the pancake stall in the morning.
She had watched for so long yesterday, and it wasn't in vain. Today she could already make pancakes. Not to mention, she looked pretty good.
If you observe carefully, you will find that her techniques are exactly the same as Jiang Da's, including some small movements.
The final products are almost the same.
"...Husband, did you notice?"
Jiang Da wrung out the handkerchief and turned back: "What did you find?"
Han Yunru: "Our daughter is learning from you, and she's doing quite well."
"That's right! Yueyue has been smart since she was young."
Han Yunru was helpless, "You fool, you didn't even understand what I said."
Jiang Da was not angry even after being scolded, but just smiled foolishly.
At first, Jiang Fuyue was indeed imitating Jiang Da. From the way he spread the pancake to the interval between adding ingredients, he was exactly the same as Jiang Da.
Later, she gradually summed up her experience in practice and found that certain steps, a few seconds earlier or later, or the order of applying the sauce or taking the food out of the pot at different times, can all affect the appearance and taste of the final product.
After several improvements, we finally figured out the best solution.
This only took half a day, and in the afternoon, the pancakes she made were better than Jiang Da's in appearance alone.
But the father was so careless that he didn't notice it at all.
Han Yunru saw it all and thought to herself: Her Yueyue is indeed a person who will make a big splash when she does.
Even making a pancake seems like a science.
In the afternoon, the owner of the liquor store opposite came again. Jiang Fuyue was about to take action, "Don't... Old Jiang, why don't you do it for me?"
This is because I don’t trust Jiang Fuyue’s craftsmanship.
You know, usually he picks on even Han Yunru's work and only recognizes Jiang Da.
"Okay," Jiang Da washed his hands and dried them, "Yueyue, you've been standing for a long time. Go sit down and rest for a while to cool down."
Jiang Fuyue didn't argue, took off his gloves and sat next to Han Yunru.
Jiang Da finished it in a few seconds and handed it to the other party.
The liquor store owner rubbed his hands, took it, and started eating it while it was hot. "I love this! I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat it for a day. Lao Jiang, I'm not exaggerating, but your cooking skills are countless times better than those internet-famous pancakes. It's even as good as Cao Ji's!"
Caoji, a national chain and a well-known large enterprise, started out as a pancake restaurant several years ago and has now developed into a diversified and comprehensive large-scale catering brand.
Hearing "Cao Ji", Jiang Da was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and waved his hands: "How can I compare with him? You are too flattering to me."
"I'm serious!" the bar owner glared.
Jiang Da didn't respond and changed the subject with a smile.
