The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 57 Lady Boss: Mr. Shen, what do you think we are?
Shen Le stepped aside to let the proprietress in, and hurriedly walked through the alley and stepped into the west courtyard. As soon as he stepped in, he opened the lid of the food box:

"Wow! So beautiful!"

In the oval food box, three crystal clear, radiant sweet white porcelain small plates were quietly lined up. In each plate, a flower bloomed:
To be precise, there are three flower-shaped pastries blooming side by side.

The one on the left has white, translucent petals that spread out layer by layer. Although the petals are complicated, they look light, just like a white peony just picked from the branch.

In the center of the peony, the pale yellow pistil is trembling, and a drop of nectar is about to fall at the tip of the pistil, exuding an extremely tempting sweet fragrance.

The one in the middle is pink, with five petals. Each petal is light on the outside, dark in the middle, concave in the middle, dark red, with fine stamens carved out, and a slight milky fragrance.

The light green lotus on the right has a delicate texture and a refreshing smell. In the center of the lotus, on a lotus pod slightly larger than a thumb, there are actually twelve lotus seeds, which are slightly raised above the lotus pod, as if you can reach out and peel them out and eat them.

Shen Le looked left, looked right, stretched out his hand to the left, stretched out his hand to the right. He stretched out his hand several times, and then retracted it:
"...How can anyone bear to eat this!"

He struggled for a long time, finally let out a long sigh and made up his mind.

He found a beautiful boxwood half-table, placed the dishes on the table, adjusted the lighting, and even went to the table in front of the screen in the main room to grab the Yuhuchun celadon vase and placed it next to it.

Then, raise your phone and adjust the angle——

"Please eat your phone first!"

Click, click, snap, snap. Select photos, edit them, post them to your social media. Sit down and eat!
Pinch a white petal. The texture is a bit like Yunpian Gao, but much lighter than Yunpian Gao, and melts in your mouth;

Plucking a piece of peach blossom petal, the filling is filled with jujube paste, which is full of jujube fragrance and tastes sweet and sour. The jujube paste is dense and delicate. A little less sugar would be too sour, and a little more sugar would be too greasy. Just the seasoning alone would take at least ten years of hard work.
Plucking another lotus petal, the tea tastes refreshing and fragrant, the water surface is clear and round, and the lotus leaves are swaying in the wind.

Shen Le took a sip, and then took another sip. He immediately felt a faint heat flow from his mouth to his stomach, and then from his stomach to his whole body:

Hey, what is this made of?
Why does it taste so similar to the special lamb I had at Tianxianglou before?

He ate two bites, closed his eyes and practiced, ate two more bites, and practiced a few more times. After finishing the three snacks, he felt that he had practiced the skills given by the copper tablets dozens more times than usual.

Ah, what's the point of talking about repaying or not repaying? Having one serving of this kind of snack every day is repaying! ! !
He thought about this for a long time, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Then he looked at his Moments and saw that there were already seven or eight likes:

Dorm boss: Which store? Can you give me a link to Dianping.com?
The senior who helped him mail samples for experiments: What delicious food did you secretly eat?
Senior sister who is studying for a doctorate: Which big boss is treating me?

Roommate: Godfather! Godfather! Take care of the child! Where are you? I'll come find you right away!

Shen Le: ...cough.

The dim sum was brought by the owner of Tianxianglou, and it might be made in the store. As for whether the store sells it, this...

The next morning, he went to Tianxianglou for breakfast. He couldn't help but look around, looking at the menu and at other guests' tables:

Um, there is no such dessert...

The boss lady and a few waiters were so busy that they had no time to talk to him. He didn't talk to her in the morning or at noon. It was not until the afternoon when the boss lady and Xiaoyu came to thank him:

"Mr. Shen, thank you so much for yesterday. If it weren't for your protection, Xiaoyu wouldn't have gotten through this round of disaster so easily.

——Sir, you are a great man. We dare not repay your kindness with common things. This is the only thing that can barely do the job. If you don’t mind, please accept it.” She took out a boxwood box like a magic trick and pushed it forward. The box was half a foot long, an inch high, and an inch wide. There was a clump of orchids lightly carved on the surface. From the carving to the material, it didn’t look very precious.

Shen Le looked down and wanted to push it back:
Who told you not to repay with worldly things?
What I lack now is worldly things!

Please repay me with something worthwhile! I need money to buy old wood, reagents, and many other things!

"Sir, your practice has its own traditions, and there is nothing we can do to help you." He was feeling anxious, and the proprietress observed his expression, probably seeing that his face was a little stiff, and smiled and pushed the box:
"I only have this box of pills. They are for replenishing vitality and have mild medicinal properties. Sir, you are in the mortal world, and many medicinal materials are not convenient to obtain. When you are short of things, you can use this box of pills to make up for it."

As she spoke, she used her slender hands to push the lid of the box open a little, revealing three pills inside.

The three pills were all as big as longan and were wrapped in gold foil. It was impossible to tell what was inside and there was no medicinal fragrance. There was a piece of paper underneath the pills, which might be a prescription, but it was not easy to pick it up and read it at this time...

Even if Shen Le believed her words, he didn't dare to eat whatever he got. He made up his mind that if it didn't work, he would feed the copper tablets with the pills and nodded randomly:
"Yeah, yeah. Thank you very much..."

"By the way, Xiaoyu has nothing to repay you with." The proprietress continued with a smile:
"She wants to come to your house every day to help you clean the house and take care of the flowers and plants. What do you think?"

"...That's not necessary! I didn't do anything..."

Seeing Xiaoyu's charming eyes and her head lowered with a smile, without any reluctance at all, Shen Le subconsciously opened his mouth to refuse.

It would be good to have more part-time workers, but his house really cannot allow outsiders to enter casually!

The little wooden puppet dances when he has nothing to do, and Modou directs the tools to do their work on a daily basis. If an outsider who doesn't know the details comes, they might think it's haunted, right?

"If you really want to repay me, can you give me a link to the snack I gave you yesterday?"

"We made this ourselves. If Mr. Shen likes it, I'll ask Xiaoyu to make one a day and deliver it to you on time."

The proprietress smiled slightly. Shen Le froze on the spot:
"No need for that, right? We can just eat it in the store!... And it doesn't have to be so elaborate, the key is the material..."

"Mr. Shen, you don't have to be so polite. Xiaoyu has received your kindness, and she must repay you, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to her in the future--"

The lady boss said seriously:

"Besides, I also have some selfish motives. If the other girls in my shop encounter difficulties, they would like to ask for your protection."

"Shelter from what?"

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore." The proprietress leaned back slightly, crossed her fingers, and gently placed them on the table:

"What do you think I am? Or what are we?"

　Tomorrow is Monday again, and the new book list will be released in two days.
