A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Xia Ning came out of the dressing room, her skirt still untied, her fingers tugging at the apron straps as she tied it back.

"Sis, the zipper on my skirt is a little loose, could you help me with that..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The next moment, she suddenly froze.

Ahead, Xia Qing was holding a thermos in both hands and handing it to Lu Yang.

His movements were stiff and he was very nervous.

"What is this?"

Lu Yang took it and weighed it a couple of times; it was quite heavy.

Then he opened the lid.

A aroma of butter mixed with eggs wafted out.

There were three egg yolk pastries neatly arranged inside, but they didn't look very good. Some were round, some were flat, and one was obviously dented and then rolled back into a ball.

Xia Ning hopped over, her eyes darting back and forth between Xia Qing and the insulated box.

"Sis? Did you make this?"

Xia Qing nodded without saying anything.

Xia Ning was instantly surprised and tilted her head to look at Xia Qing.

"Wait, sis, you got up so early today... just to do this?"

Xia Qing continued to nod, without saying a word.

Xia Ning opened her mouth, closed it, and then opened it again.

"Wait a minute, sis, I've lived with you for so many years, when have you ever made any desserts? And didn't you used to be able to burn eggs when you were frying them? When did you learn to make egg yolk pastries?"

Xia Qing glanced at her expressionlessly.

That look, translated, could be summed up in one sentence: Stop talking nonsense.

But Xia Ning clearly wasn't buying it.

"Sis, you're so unfair! I've been with you for over ten years, and you've never cooked me a decent meal even once."

Xia Ning became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, pouting and putting her hands on her hips: "I'm your sister!"

Xia Qing frowned, then uttered two words: "Watch."

Xia Ning: (ಥ﹏ಥ) Heartbroken

"Why don't you eat first?"

Lu Yang pushed the box towards Xia Ning.

"I won't eat it!"

Xia Ning turned her head away, still sulking.

Well, he said no, but his eyes kept glancing into the box.

To be honest, she had never eaten anything made by Xia Qing before.

Lu Yang didn't argue with her. He picked up an egg yolk pastry for himself, and then gave one of the remaining two to each of them, which was just right.

Lu Yang took a bite.

At this moment, Xia Qing didn't urge him or ask if it was good; she just stood there quietly.

That feeling...

It's like a student who has handed in their exam paper and is waiting for the teacher to grade it.

Lu Yang stuffed the egg yolk pastry into his mouth.

I chewed it twice.

He froze for a few seconds.

This taste...

Xia Qing stared intently at Lu Yang.

"How is it?"

This was the first question she asked today.

Lu Yang paused for a moment, then gave his assessment: "Not bad..."

Xia Qing's eyebrows twitched slightly.

It's not bad-tasting?

Is this good or bad?

Just as she was about to press for more information, Xia Ning couldn't hold back any longer.

"I want some too!"

After saying that, Xia Ning grabbed one from the box and stuffed it into her mouth.

then……

Her expression went through three stages in an instant.

First second: (¬‿¬)

Second second: (・_・?)

Third second: (╯`□′)╯┳━┳

"Sis...you made this wrong! It tastes so weird! What did you put in these egg yolk pastries? They're sweet, salty, and bitter all at once!"

Xia Qing's expression finally changed. She looked at Lu Yang and finally realized what he meant by "it's not bad to eat".

Xia Qing: /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ!

Xia Ning coughed and said, "Sis, did you put salt in instead of sugar? How did it taste like this?"

Xia Qing's chin tightened slightly.

She turned her head and glanced at the half-eaten egg yolk pastry in Lu Yang's hand.

then.

She then took another egg yolk pastry and took a bite.

It tastes awful...

"Alright, alright."

Lu Yang quickly smoothed things over: "It's the first time, it's normal. Just make sure to distinguish between sugar and salt next time."

Besides, this is Xia Qing's first time, so it wouldn't be good to throw cold water on her.

Xia Qing gripped her skirt tightly and said earnestly, "I'll do better next time!"

Lu Yang smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that's thoughtful of you."

The product is indeed good, but don't make it again next time!

Lu Yang got back to the main point: "By the way, there's something I want to tell you."

The two of them pricked up their ears.

I have something to do tomorrow and need to go out.

Lu Yang crossed his arms in front of his chest and gave instructions to the two people in front of him.

"I might be away from the store for about two or three days during that time."

Xia Ning was taken aback: "Boss, you're not here?"

"Um."

"What should we do with the shop?"

"You two keep watch for me," Lu Yang said.

Xia Ning scratched her head, somewhat bewildered: "Boss, this won't do, will it? We've only worked one day!"

"So starting today, I'm handing over all the procedures to you."

Lu Yang instructed, "Preparing the goods, dispensing the cups, collecting payments, closing the shop—you will handle everything yourselves from start to finish."

Xia Ning's face was filled with panic as she turned to look at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing's expression remained unchanged, revealing no attitude, but she also offered no opinions.

All she knew was that she had to do her best and not let Lu Yang down.

"But boss, what if something goes wrong?"

"I have a cell phone, just call me."

"What if you don't answer?"

Lu Yang rolled his eyes: "I was only gone for two days, it's not like I've disappeared."

"Oh, okay."

Xia Ning nodded.

That's the truth, but it was quite sudden to put her in charge of the whole store.

Next, Lu Yang showed the two of them the general process.

Although these steps may sound numerous, they are actually not difficult at all.

Lu Yang spent the entire morning breaking down and teaching every step from opening to closing.

"Boss, I can't tell the front from the back of the membrane."

"Smooth side down."

"But both sides are about the same..."

"Touch it with your hand, rough side up, smooth side down."

"Boss! We're running out of green tea jelly from Qingqing Nuoshan!"

There are two more boxes on the right side of the second shelf in the refrigerator.

"Boss! The customer wants no ice but extra toppings, how much does that cost?"

"No ice, no extra charge; add toppings, extra dollar..."

"Boss! A customer asked if we could give him another discount!"

"Do you need to fracture the bone?"

"Boss! A customer asked if they can pay in US dollars!"

"cannot!"

One question after another was thrown at him, and Lu Yang answered them one by one.

By the afternoon, Xia Ning's problems had noticeably decreased.

At least the lid won't fly off when you shake the cup anymore, the sealing machine won't jam, and customers won't have to peek at the memo every time they order.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Xia Ning lay on the bar counter with her arms hanging down in front of her, like a cat sunbathing.

"Boss, how many cups did we make today?"

"Three hundred cups."

"Wow! That's double the number from yesterday!"

Xia Ning jumped up, clenched her little fists, and her fatigue was instantly replaced by a sense of accomplishment.

"Then doesn't that mean I've improved?"

"Yes, you've improved."

"Boss, can you be a little more sincere when you compliment someone? It's always just 'uh-huh, not bad, not bad,' it's so perfunctory."

"So what do you want to hear?"

"Just tell them I'm your most, most, most, most outstanding employee, without a doubt!"

Xia Ning: (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
