"Hey—"
Fu Jue then naturally opened the bag, his magnetic voice drawing Tao Zhizhi's attention back to Secretary Gu as she closed the door.
"Eat it, it's a token of his appreciation. Her tiramisu is hard to find."
Fu Jue unceremoniously laid out several desserts, including tiramisu, blueberry mousse, and ice cream puffs, in front of her, gesturing for her to choose.
"Qimeng" desserts are quite famous in Qingshui, but the high price of 60 or 70 NT dollars for a small piece makes many people hesitate.
However, everyone who has tried her desserts is satisfied; they are excellent value for money.
Tao Zhizhi often passed by this place on her way to school, but she couldn't bear to buy it for herself.
Today I actually got to eat it without spending a single cent.
Tao Zhizhi took the spoon from Fu Jue and gently scooped out a bite of tiramisu.
She felt the rich, creamy texture of mascarpone cheese melt smoothly on her tongue, unlike the coffee liqueur-based cheese she usually ate.
This tiramisu also uses red wine, so it tastes very high quality. The fruit flavor adds a refreshing touch, and there's not a strong astringent taste.
Surprisingly, it also retained a hint of coffee aroma, making the overall taste unexpectedly harmonious and irresistible, prompting one to take another sip and savor it.
Before Tao Zhizhi could finish her tiramisu, Fu Jue pushed the blueberry mousse toward her.
"Try this one too."
The mousse's delicate and silky texture complements the sweet and sour taste of blueberries, and the large O'Neill blueberry on top is quite eye-catching; this is the first time she has ever eaten a blueberry that is nearly 20 millimeters long.
The sweet and sour taste of mousse is more likely to win over Tao Zhizhi's heart than tiramisu.
Seeing that half of the blueberry mousse had disappeared in no time, Fu Jue made a new mental note about her taste:
I love sweet and sour desserts.
He then handed her the gloves, gesturing for her to continue tasting.
Based on the previous comparisons, the ice cream puff must be quite extraordinary.
First of all, they are very large, about the size of an adult's clenched fist, and they come in a variety of flavors. Secretary Gu tried almost every flavor available in the store.
She, who has always loved berries, picked up the colorful berry flavor, but it was too big and she didn't know how to eat it.
Tao Zhizhi broke it open with her hands. Because of the hot weather, the ice cream inside had melted a bit when Secretary Gu delivered it, and the pink filling gushed out.
It looks very tempting.
It tasted even better; the crispy outer layer combined with the cool, silky texture of the ice cream instantly replaced her craving for shaved ice.
She also loves other flavors: the matcha is rich and creamy, the brown sugar pearls are sweet and chewy, and the vanilla and mango flavors are all unique.
She couldn't resist eating too much and let out a burp: "Burp—"
Her eyes darted around, and she covered her mouth, trying to deceive herself.
Fu Jue barely touched the desserts, his gaze fixed on Tao Zhizhi. Watching her eat with increasing satisfaction, a smile spread through his eyes and into his heart.
So cute!
Su Bai couldn't get into the atmosphere between the two, but she could still sense some of the tension.
She took the dessert he had given her and tiptoed to the corner.
A good meal makes for a good workday, and the leisurely afternoon tea time passed just like that.
Tao Zhizhi and the other two were unaware that their time to enjoy afternoon tea was about to be taken away.
Customers who had previously enjoyed the food at the restaurant almost always recommended it to her.
Later, thanks to Lan Xin's live stream recommendation and Zhou Nan's unintentional encouragement, many food-hunting teams were formed privately.
Ready to go!
Group chat: [Looking for Nanqiang's live stream meal]
[He Xiang: Warm Food Shop? Have you guys found out where it is?]
[I found this online; it's mostly women's reviews of restaurants.]
[AAA Wang Ge Tiles: A trendy online store? Go if you want, I'm not going!]
[Yi Yi: Exactly, let's call it a day.]
"Yi Yi has left the group chat—"
Chuan Nan, as a member of the Curious Squad, was naturally in this group as well, but he realized that Qiangzi's behavior might prevent him from eating the food here in the future.
So... "Chuannan leaves the group chat—"
Group chat: [Protect the Blueberries Squad]
[Blueberry Firecrackers: Sisters! Has anyone checked out the warm food stall yet?]
[Berry Sundae: Me! [Raises hand.jpg]]
[Berry Sundae: Sisters! You absolutely have to try this! It's incredibly delicious!!!] [9 pictures]
[Berry Sundae: Perfect for taking amazing photos!]
[echo: I agree with the sister above! I just happened to eat here today! [excited.jpg]]
[Images x9]
[echo: Ahhh, I also met an absolutely handsome guy (*\/?＼*)!]
[echo: Right inside the store! Didn't dare take a picture of her face! [coward.jpg]]
[Image: A view of someone's back]
[Blueberry Firecracker: Ahhh, so tall! Just from the back view, he seems like a male college student with amazing fashion sense! [Excited.jpg]]
Echo happened to be transiting through Shimizu City today, and having a whole day to herself, she remembered recommending blueberries while at the airport.
Dragging their small suitcases, they ran to the hot food stall. At that moment, the three of them had just finished enjoying a sweet afternoon tea and were heading back to work.
Fu Jue happened to be cleaning up the dessert remnants when she saw him.
It was absolutely breathtaking. She couldn't hide her excitement and sat down with Su Bai, then started passionately chatting online with her best friend.
While Fu Jue was back in the kitchen, I secretly took a picture of his back.
The group chat was immediately flooded with lurking experts.
[Keep it simple: I'm going to check in a day early!]
[Monthly salary over 10,000, then over 10,000: Change it!!!]
Yes, the blueberry fans who keep in touch privately have their own small group. They've balanced their work and school schedules and were planning to try the food recommended by blueberry in a week.
Seeing news about these two people now makes me restless, and my desire to go and have fun has reached its peak!
[Blueberry Firecrackers: I've already bought my tickets in just a few minutes. See you tomorrow!]
[I only changed my name after earning over 100,000 a month: I'm not good enough, but I still want to go!]
The group chat was filled with messages like "[See you tomorrow!]"
I can already imagine how lively the shop will be tomorrow!
Meanwhile, many in Zhou Nan's fan group still believed that the streamer had really tasted the delicious food, and secretly decided to investigate.
——
My first day working at Fu Jue's shop went perfectly. I spent over a thousand yuan to give myself almost a day more to spend with her and even learned about one of her hobbies. It was worth it!
However, as the president, he had to attend the banquet that evening and couldn't leave work with Tao Zhizhi.
It was another busy but fulfilling day!
Back home, Tao Zhizhi stretched and sighed contentedly, thinking of Fu Jue's afternoon tea while doing her skincare routine.
After thinking it over and over, I still didn't know how to thank him, so I decided to make a dish that would suit his taste.
Tao Zhizhi put a cushion under her head and lay down, whispering to Fu Jue:
"Fu Jue, what's your favorite dish?"
No, no, that's too direct, delete it, delete it—
Tao Zhizhi searched online for "tutorials on talking to boys" and "how to subtly find out a boy's preferences and tastes?"
After her thorough search, she concluded: I can't! (???????)
