T5 urban area, in the downtown area.

In front of a tall and quaint building.

Liu Di and Gu Fan held hands and stood side by side.

Turning his head slightly, he saw a dozen or so plainly dressed old men sitting in the building, around a stove burning a huge copper kettle.

They talked to each other and laughed at times.

There was a young waiter who kept adding hot tea to their teacups.

Liu Di looked at the increasingly happy girl beside him and asked, "What is this?"

The beautiful girl smiled again with eyes as big as crescent moons, "This is where the old men usually drink tea and chat."

immediately.

Gu Fan stretched out his hand and grabbed something out of thin air. An exquisite bamboo food box appeared in his hand.

Liu Di was stunned and asked, "Is this the food you meditate on?"

"I just opened the space portal and took the food box. The food inside was made by me."

Gu Fan raised his head slightly, his beautiful eyes quietly watching Liu Di's reaction.

But Brother Liu's eyes lit up, "You did it so virtuously?"

Gu Fan smiled with satisfaction, "Of course."

But I could hear the voices of the old men talking in the teahouse.

"Hey? It's been a while since I last saw that little girl Xiaofan."

"I'm not happy if she doesn't come. This tea has no taste."

"Yes, when that little girl comes, our room becomes like a little magpie, chirping and full of joy!"

"Yeah, and the peach blossom cake she made is really delicious."

"When I think about the taste of that pastry, my dentures are washed away by my saliva!"

But Gu Fan outside the door laughed.

He stepped over the threshold carrying a food box, "Old men, Xiaofan is here, and he brought cakes with him!"

But after taking a few steps, Gu Fan suddenly turned back, took Liu Di's hand, and stepped into the threshold again.

When the old men saw the girl in the flowery dress coming, they laughed so happily.

Gu Fan walked to the wooden table in the middle of the teahouse.

Gently open the food box and spread it out on the table layer by layer.

But inside were pieces of light pink pastries, arranged very delicately, and a petal of peach blossom was placed on each piece of pastry.

A group of old men were drooling.

Gu Fan stretched out his green jade hand, picked up a piece of cake, and glanced at everyone, "Please sit down and give it to Brother Liu first."

immediately.

A piece of cake was handed to Liu Di's mouth.

Brother Liu's face flushed slightly. He opened his mouth gently and the pastry seemed to melt in his mouth, soft, glutinous and delicate.

It is sweet with a scent of peach blossoms that lingers in your mouth.

Gu Fan kept his eyes on Liu Di and said with a smile, "I picked peach blossoms in the spring, then brewed them with honey for a summer, and made peach blossom cakes in the fall. Is it delicious?"

Liu Di couldn't think of anything to say.

The word "happiness" filled his heart. He just raised his arm and gave Gu Fan a thumbs up.

Gu Fan’s smile is like the spring breeze. If there is a sea of ​​flowers here, they will surely bloom together.

As the old men drooled while drinking tea, they all looked at Brother Liu, "Xiao Fan, you have a boyfriend after not seeing him for a few days?"

Gu Fan chuckled and shook his head, "Remove the word 'male'."

The old men were all stunned and looked at Brother Liu as if they suddenly realized something.

"No wonder this young man looks like a white jade, very handsome, it turns out he is a woman disguised as a man?"

Brother Liu almost spit out the peach blossom cake in his mouth.

If you remove the word "male", does it have to be a female? This young master is currently just Gu Fan's friend! Gu Fan laughed again, his body trembling slightly, and pushed the food box forward, "You old men, eat quickly!"

The old men were already impatient. They grabbed some snacks, chewed them slowly with tea, closed their eyes and enjoyed it. They were having a lot of fun!

Brother Liu looked at the scene in front of him, and a warm feeling rose in his heart again, "In reality, they are all old men, right?"

Gu Fan nodded. "Almost all of the people in Zone T5 show their true faces. Most of these old men are already old in reality, and their consciousness may completely dissipate at any time. What I can do is to make them laugh a few more times in their lifetime."

Brother Liu sighed, "How can you be so kind?"

Gu Fan shrugged and shook his head, "I don't know."

But an old man who had just finished eating peach blossom cake came to Gu Fan with a sack in his hand. He grinned and said, "Little Fan, I'm not like those old guys who eat your osmanthus cake for free every day. Take these things away."

Gu Fan looked excited, but after opening the bag, he was puzzled, "Sweet potato? Can this be used to make pastries?"

The old man took a sip of tea and said, "What kind of pastry should I make? Just boil it!"

"hehe."

But I saw Brother Liu smiling foolishly.

Gu Fan was puzzled, "Brother Liu, why are you grinning like an idiot?"

"hehe."

Brother Liu pointed to the sack and said, "I can do it."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"real?"

But Gu Fan's eyes were sparkling with stars and his voice became slightly higher.

Brother Liu nodded heavily, "It's time for me to show off my skills."

Liu Di turned around, caught a glimpse of the kitchen at the back of the teahouse, picked up the sack and walked over.

He first washed the sweet potatoes, then placed them in the steamer in the same direction, and then added firewood and fire.

Gu Fan sat aside, his chin supported by his hands, his eyes never leaving Liu Di.

But the old men outside the door curled their lips, "Everyone says Xiaofan is in love, but she still refuses to admit it. Look, even cooking sweet potatoes is so romantic. Is there anything more ordinary than cooking sweet potatoes?"

The other old man also curled his lips and said, "Yes."

"What's up?"

The old man looked at Brother Liu and said in a low voice, "Steamed sweet potatoes."

"cut"

But I saw that Brother Liu was really steaming sweet potatoes!

After steaming over high heat, peel off the skin, put it into a bowl and mash it into fine sweet potato puree, then add sugar, honey, and a little vegetable oil.

Then place it in a square container and let it sit.

After a while, he took out the solidified sweet potato pieces.

A black light flashed between his hands, cutting the sweet potato into straight and square pieces the size of mahjong tiles.

It was served on a white porcelain plate and gently placed in front of Gu Fan.

The pastry on the plate is slightly yellowish and reddish, crystal clear, like amber.

Gu Fan closed his eyes and smelled it, it was a light sweet scent.

She reached out and grabbed a piece, then looked at Liu Di with wide eyes.

Brother Liu nodded slightly.

Gu Fan took a bite and then closed his eyes, only to discover that this small pastry held a lot of secrets!

The shell has solidified, becoming firm and chewy, just like dried sweet potato, and the flavor is concentrated and extremely mellow.

But the sweet potato puree inside is not completely cold. It still exudes warmth and seems to be flowing slowly, filled with the fragrance of flowers from honey and the natural sweetness of white sugar.

It can be said that one bite of it has distinct layers and a double experience.

Gu Fan closed his eyes and savored it for a long time.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and looked at Brother Liu, and the stars in his eyes seemed to bloom in an instant.

She tilted her head slightly, and suddenly felt that the man in front of her was very talented. She unconsciously moved closer to Liu Di and said softly, "That's great."

Liu Di scratched his head and laughed, "This cake is similar to someone, cold on the outside but hot on the inside."

Gu Fan smiled.

This is true for both her and Brother Liu.

The crowd of old men watching were clicking their tongues, "This is such a show of affection. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and now this one is just a piece of cold sweet potato puree, and it's heavenly!"

Liu Di gently pushed the porcelain plate and said, "Would you like to try some too?"

The old man at the front seemed a little reluctant and grabbed a piece of sweet potato and put it in his mouth.

The next moment I burst into tears.

"Oh my god, is this the taste of happiness?"
