In fact, Shang Yan has been experiencing some mental confusion lately after taking the medication prescribed by the mental hospital.
He had a gut feeling that his symptoms were probably not something that medication could help, and that he was slowly recovering on his own.
So Shang Yan stopped taking the medicine and vomited it all into 019's system space.
019 screamed, "You've defiled my clean space!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Shang Yan said politely.
019, […Never mind, you're welcome.]
After breakfast, Shen Yu pulled Shang Yan aside and said, "Yan Yan, your sister is opening a bakery. It opened a couple of days ago. Didn't you want to work during the summer vacation? Why don't you work at your sister's bakery?"
Shang Yan kept clamoring to go to work, but Shen Yu was worried about her mentally challenged son, so she simply handed him over to Shang Qingqian.
Shang Qingqian, who was packing her things to leave, paused. "Mom, why did you give this kid to me? What can he do?"
Shang Yan turned his head and looked over expectantly, knowing that the moment of destiny had arrived. He clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Sister, please, please accept me!"
"I can do anything, I eat very little, you can treat me like a donkey."
Shang Qingqian:...
"Okay, come with me. The bakery is right across from Xijin No. 1 Middle School." She had been busy with this matter for the past few days.
After Shang Yan followed Shang Qingqian out, Shang Qingqian kept talking about the arrangements she had made for Shang Yan.
“Mom and Dad have spoken with the school leaders. When you start school, you will be studying in the senior year at Xijin No. 1 High School. You haven’t studied for so many years, so we can accept whatever score you get on the college entrance exam,” Shang Qingqian said, patting the tuft of hair on her younger brother’s head.
My brother has been in Sunshine Mental Hospital for three years now, how can we ask for so much more?
Just live peacefully and happily.
"Don't worry, sis, I'll definitely do well on the exam!" Shang Yan patted his chest. He had taken the college entrance exam once before, and if he couldn't surpass his previous performance, he certainly wouldn't do too badly this time.
"Okay, I believe you." Thinking that Shang Yan was just bragging, Shang Qingqian couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, and her supportive attitude was there for all to see.
After the two arrived at the bakery, Shang Yan found that the store was in a great location. It was just a few steps away from the main gate of Xijin No. 1 Middle School, after turning left.
There will definitely be no shortage of customers then.
Upon arriving at the bakery, Shang Qingqian led Shang Yan into the kitchen. "Let's get this straight, you'll only get one hundred a day. If you don't perform well, your pay will be deducted!"
Upon hearing that he would be getting paid, Shang Yan perked up. With two weeks left before the start of the new semester, he nodded eagerly, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I'll do my job well," he said, standing obediently behind Shang Qingqian as her assistant.
The ingredients needed for bagels are as follows: 250g high-gluten flour, 140g water, 2g yeast, 10g sugar, and 2g salt.
After Shang Yan finished preparing everything, he watched as Shang Qingqian began to work.
After mixing these ingredients in a glass bowl, slowly pour in some ice water and knead into a dough. Seal and refrigerate for half an hour to allow the dough to hydrate. The dough will then develop its own gluten.
Divide the mixture into six portions, shape them into a round ball, and let them rest for twenty minutes.
Then Shang Qingqian handed Shang Yan a rolling pin, "Use the rolling pin to roll it out, don't just pull or tug it, understand?"
"Okay, okay," Shang Yan said, picking up the rolling pin and starting to roll, quickly getting the hang of it.
After Shang Qingqian rolled out a dough ball, she demonstrated to Shang Yan that she rolled the dough into a rectangle, then slowly rolled it in, pinched the seam, and rolled it into a length of 20 centimeters. She rolled one end out and pinched the other end in, and a bagel dough was formed.
Shang Yan had a good memory, and he quickly turned the dough into bagels. Shang Qingqian took a look and thought they were pretty good.
With the two of them working together, they quickly made a plate of bagel dough.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Then, boil water in another pot. Once the water starts to bubble, use a mesh strainer to scoop up the bagels and put them in. Blanch each side for 15 seconds before taking them out. Shang Qingqian demonstrated this to Shang Yan and then let him take over.
After Shang Yan finished preparing the bagels, Shang Qingqian put the baking tray into the oven and set the timer for 20 minutes.
"Alright, just wait twenty minutes, we'll go do something else now." Shang Qingqian was very satisfied with Shang Yan's help, and she praised, "I didn't expect Xiao Yan to be so capable."
She usually handles everything here by herself, but now that Shang Yan has joined in, things have become much easier.
Shang Yan puffed out his chest. "Of course."
Then Shang Qingqian and Shang Yan made toast, cinnamon rolls, donuts, and Viennese bread.
The bakery opens at 11 a.m., and customers start arriving gradually after they put out their freshly baked bread.
The bakery is quite small, with customers scattered around, but it's still managing to keep busy.
When there were no customers, Shang Yan took out his phone from his pocket, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Zhou Ping.
"What are you doing? I'm going to get a summer job too."
The other party didn't reply for several minutes.
Hey bro: I was just serving food at the restaurant. Where have you been working?
"My sister owns a bakery! I tried making several today, and she said they were really good. I'll bring you some to try after I get off work this afternoon," Shang Yan replied enthusiastically.
Good brother: Okay.
Hey bro: What time do you get off work?
Shang Yan didn't ask about it. Sitting in front of the cashier, he turned to ask, "Sis, what time do we get off work?"
Shang Qingqian was continuing to put toast on the glass display case when she heard this and replied with a smile, "You've only been working for a few hours, and you're already thinking about leaving?"
"I get off work at 7 p.m., then we'll go home together for dinner."
"Sis, I'm not going back with you. I'm going to find Zhou Ping after get off work," Shang Yan said, resting his chin on his hand. It was already one o'clock, and he was a little hungry.
The bread in the cupboard looks so tempting.
Upon hearing Shang Yan say that she was going to find Zhou Ping, Shang Qingqian raised an eyebrow. "Sure, will he bring you back then?"
Shang Yan immediately sent a message to Zhou Ping.
"I get off work at seven. I'll come to see you. Will you take me home tonight?"
Good brother: Okay.
The other person is still typing...
After a while, Zhou Ping asked again.
Hey bro: Where are you having dinner?
"Can I eat at your place?" Shang Yan hadn't thought about this question yet.
Good buddy: Yes.
After discussing it with Zhou Ping, Shang Yan said to Shang Qingqian, "Sister, I'll have dinner at Zhou Ping's place tonight. He said he'd take me home."
Since her younger brother had already discussed it, Shang Qingqian didn't say anything more.
cluck cluck~
"Are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and make something for us to eat." Hearing Shang Yan's stomach growling, Shang Qing smiled and went to the kitchen.
After dinner, the two of them were busy for a while.
However, when it was four o'clock in the afternoon, taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the store, Shang Yan took out his phone.
Upon seeing the term "good brother," Shang Yan scratched his head and sent a message.
"Zhou Ping?"
The other party replied instantly.
Good bro: Hmm?
Who changed the nickname he gave his baby? Shang Yan angrily changed "good brother" to "baby".
"No, you're having another episode?" 019 stared at the scene before her in silence for a long while.
