The puff pastry was designed in twelve flavors, and all participants had to sign a non-disclosure agreement about the recipe.

Jiang Wang said half-jokingly: "See clearly, once it is found out that the formula is leaked, it may cost 50 to 2 million yuan, not counting the follow-up cost of brand damage."

The first mango Melaleuca was officially launched on Saturday, limited to 66 copies, each with a small cup of freshly ground coffee, while stocks last.

The news was released early by the staff. When the door opened at 8:30 that morning, the long queue went directly to the store 50 meters away.

Don't say, people in small towns are not used to drinking coffee, mainly because of the bitterness, which is as bitter as traditional Chinese medicine.

The fresh and sweet mango melaleuca is now paired with creamy, silky and fresh fruit, and then neutralized with authentic coffee, the effect is just right.

share.

"It will not be sold tomorrow." The clerk said crisply: "It will only be sold once a weekend."

Others heard it strangely: "The business is so good, why don't you do more?"

The clerk shook her head.

Only with a confidentiality contract can you follow along!"

"What a cook! They are pastry chefs!"

People were laughing.

Laterally, Melaleuca was sold for many years, and the taste changed every month.

People who live near the bookstore are also accustomed to queuing and chatting together every weekend, and even familiar with each clerk.

Many western restaurants and bakeries are jealous of this bookstore's good business. I don't know where to get a similar recipe, and they sell the same taste of mille crepe cake.

But when everyone ate, they shook their heads and felt almost.

"There is a secret formula, you can't do it."

But that's for another day.

Jiang Wang took Peng Xing to see Cizhou as soon as he arrived for a small holiday. They bought two soft sleeper tickets and didn't sleep together.

The child has never experienced the cramped and cramped upper deck of the hard sleeper, and thought that all the carriages had TVs to watch, and they were reluctant to part when they got off.

Jiang Wang was extremely sleepy. After getting in the car, he fell asleep and his hair was messy after four hours.

Cizhou is located in the southeastern province, the air here is humid and warm, the train seems to be immersed in the warm fog, the large camphor branches are lush, and the blue color covers the sky.

Peng Xingwang was out for the first time, holding Jiang Wang tightly in his left hand, and holding a small cake box in his right hand very dearly.

It was the strawberry puff pastry he made for his mother with his brother before he left home.

Chang Hua and Du Wenjuan were waiting at the exit, waving to them with a smile.

"Mom!"

Peng Xingwang originally wanted to rush over to hug his mother, but the next second he noticed that his mother's lower abdomen was bulging, he paused in a daze, and grabbed Jiang Wangyi's corner to see his brother's expression.

The footsteps also hesitated.

Jiang Wang is already an adult and doesn't have much affection for her mother's desire for a second child. Only at this moment did she realize Peng Xingwang's retreat.

"...are you afraid?" He thought the child thought that his mother was sick: "Your mother is just pregnant, she is fine."

Peng Xingwang couldn't digest such a huge change in just a few short steps. First, he deliberately slowed down, and then he didn't speak at all, hiding behind Jiang Wang.

Chang Hua obviously saw his reaction and said something to Du Wenjuan, but stopped her from going to the chaotic crowd.

Jiang Wang noticed that Peng Xingwang didn't want to go forward, he put the suitcase against the wall, squatted down and held the child in his arms.

I didn't know what my younger self was thinking for a while.

"Why are you afraid like this." He murmured: "You are rarely afraid."

"Mom is going to have a new child, right." Peng Xingwang's eyes were so red that he could cry at any time, but he just kept looking at Jiang Wang with a calm despair: "I will Not her only child."

Eight is too young to accept that she can be completely replaced by another being.

Jiang Wang was stunned, and the emotion of being forgotten like normal surged up in his heart.

He didn't answer right away, just reached out and touched the child's soft hair.

Peng Xingwang's world needs all her mother's love, Jiang Wang's world is empty, no two words are needed.

Neither of them should be here, nor should they touch this fact again.

Peng Xingwang knew that her mother was still looking at them, and felt guilty and remorseful, but contradictedly did not want to go over and hug her with a smile, at the moment she could only hide in Jiang Wang's arms as if she wanted to hide her whole body .

Hide, time is like a pause for ten minutes, it can be slowed down a little longer.

Jiang Wang knows his temperament best, knowing that coaxing is useless at this time, children are immune to those words of adults.

He didn't say anything, just turned his head and motioned for them to wait.

Then stood up again and wiped his face with his sleeve.

"Come on, let's go see mom."

Jiang Wang didn't stand up immediately, just looked down at him carefully.

"Would you like to take a little longer?"

Peng Xingwang shook his head and led him forward.

Du Wenjuan looked worried, and was afraid that she would rush over to make the child more uncomfortable. After waiting for a long time, she opened her arms and hugged the star that was walking towards her again.

Peng Xingwang was very strong and didn't want to cry. When hugging her mother, she restrained her from her stomach and said seriously: "Mom, I just sprained my foot. I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time. "

Du Wenjuan also noticed the slight change in him, rubbed the back of the child's head hard, and didn't speak again.

"I miss you very much." The child looked at her again and laughed: "Will I have a younger brother? It's great."

Du Wenjuan finally laughed, caressed her belly and said, "Yes, you will not be alone in the future."

Chang Hua relaxed a little and greeted them to get in the car for dinner.

This time, it is the Chang family, and the hotel is also quite good. Probably because of his wife's apparent pregnancy, Chang Hua was much more diligent than the first time he met, and he deliberately told the children that they would be as good as the two children in the future, so he didn't have to be afraid of anything.

Peng Xingwang didn't know what to think about in those short ten minutes, and when he was eating and drinking, he returned to his innocence.

Jiang Wang had slept enough on the road, and yawned again in the room.

Chang Hua learned more about Boss Jiang in the past two months, and said hurriedly and diligently: "Boss Jiang, we have booked a very good hotel room, you can rest early today, and we will accompany you tomorrow. Take a walk around Cizhou!"

Jiang Wang was about to agree when Du Wenjuan suddenly spoke.

"If brother Jiang doesn't dislike it, there is a guest room in my house, but the soundproof

Poor, okay? "

She kissed Peng Xingwang, as if she had made a decision in her heart.

"The stars sleep with me at night, and my lover can sleep in the living room or on the side."

"This time you came here to visit relatives, I always feel sleeping in a hotel...too alienated."

Chang Hua looked surprised, as if he did not expect his wife's decision at all, and said dully: "The room facilities are not good? I have no problem, I am afraid that Boss Jiang will not sleep well."

Jiang Wang never thought that there would be such an invitation, but Peng Xingwang was very happy: "Live together! Good luck!"

In the end, I really bought some towels and toothbrushes next to the community, and went back to Du Wenjuan's house to live.

When the child thinks of being able to sleep with his mother, the whole person is like thawing from winter to summer, and when he enters the house, he compliments the house with enthusiasm, and walks in to praise the living room and corridor all over, very happy .

Chang Hua was a little embarrassed to hear: "This will also be your home in the future, just like it."

Jiang Wang had no intention of participating in their family activities, took a shower early, changed into pajamas, and pretended to be sleepy and went back to the guest room to lie down.

Chang Hua prefers the big soft sofa bed, so he didn't go to sleep on his side.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the porch and guest rooms each turn off their lights, leaving only a small orange lamp in the master bedroom.

Jiang Wang originally closed his eyes to sleep, but suddenly heard clear voices on the other side of the wall.

As soon as the environment is quiet, the sound insulation effect is even more non-existent.

"Mom, I brought this book, can you read it to me...it's my favorite book."

Du Wenjuan had specially prepared bedtime readings for the child, but Peng Xingwang accepted it with pleasure.

"Mom likes to read to the stars."

"When you were a child of one or two years old, you always asked me to read the same book of Lamb Breeds Cabbage over and over again. Later, when my mother was about to fall asleep, you still wanted to listen."

"Ah, I don't even remember."

The man looked up at the dark room and turned over for a while.

The mother and son on the other side covered the quilt, and the child took the most comfortable position in the warm embrace of the mother.

"It was time for the little sorrel rabbit to go to bed, but he held on to the long ears of the big sorrel."

Du Wenjuan's voice became gentle and low, and every word was sweet and clear.

"Little Rabbit wants Big Rabbit to listen to him."

"'Guess how much I love you,' he said."

"The big rabbit said: 'Oh, I can't guess that.'"

Jiang Wang suddenly recalled that this picture book Peng Xingwang also haunted him to read.

But he couldn't finish it, so he forcibly changed a book halfway through.

The word love is really indescribable, it seems like it will swell up in the throat like a sponge, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Peng Xingwang opened his arms and read to his mother the story that he had quietly read a hundred times.

"So much."

"Mom, I love you so much."

Du Wenjuan kissed him naturally and read the following words for him with a smile.

"The big rabbit has much longer arms, 'I love you so much,' he said."

"Well, that's a lot, thought Rabbit."

"I love you as much as I raise my hand," said the little rabbit.

"I love you as much as I raise my hand," said the big rabbit.

This is so tall, Rabbit thought, if only I had arms that long.

Jiang Wang fell asleep in a daze.

He didn't even finish listening to the story, just hearing his mother's voice relaxed.

What the little rabbit said to the big rabbit later, he didn't remember a word.

I slept until three in the morning and woke up suddenly.

It is inconvenient for him to turn on the lights in other people's houses, so he just pulls out the charging mobile phone, first swipes the unread text messages, and then plays a few snakes.

Simmons was used to sleeping at home, and the back of the wooden bed in the guest room was uncomfortable. Jiang Wang lit a cigarette with the window open in the bathroom, and sent a text message to Ji Linqiu.

[The air is good here, I should bring you here to play. ]

I didn't expect the opposite party to reply after a while.

[Why didn't you fall asleep? ]

[Choose a bed. you just finished? ]

[Well, the school is evaluating the best, so we need to prepare materials. ]

Jiang Wang opened the door to confirm the layout of the house. The bathroom is far from the living room, so whispering will not disturb them.

He is inexplicably like a child who comes to his mother's new family for the first time, and he is cautious in everything he does.

Then called Ji Linqiu.

The other party answered quickly, and the voice was hazy and sleepy.

"This is a long distance, so be careful of the call charges."

"There's no way, I just want to talk to Teacher Ji at night."

Ji Linqiu laughed and said, "Why, you're not having a good time."

Jiang Wang thought about it, but shook his head in denial.

"It's alright, I'll go see Jing'er tomorrow and come back with the child in a few days."

In fact, he didn't have a very important matter to make a long distance and talk to Ji Linqiu.

He just wanted to hear his voice.

People always want to be close to the source of security in unfamiliar environments.

Ji Linqiu is not over yet, you can hear rustling strokes.

I also indulged Jiang Wang. Even if it was expensive to answer a long distance, I still put the phone to my ear and listened to the other party's shallow breathing in the middle of the night.

One listened to the sound of the pen, the other listened to the sound of breathing, and remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Wang didn't smoke, just put the cigarette in the air vent to see how it burns out.

When it was about to be destroyed, she suddenly smiled and said something.

"I haven't seen you for a day, why do I panic."

Just after he finished speaking, he regained his senses, thinking that he really drank too much, and he said something stupid and panicked.

No, there is only one bottle of beer today, usually two and a half bottles are not necessarily on the face.

Ji Linqiu thought he had heard it wrong, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he hummed.

Jiang Wang put his face close to the phone, as if afraid that he would not hear, and murmured, "Mr. Ji, I want to touch your jade pendant again."

Ji Linqiu was silent for two seconds: "Stinky rascal, sleep."

Slammed and hung up.

Jiang Wang looked at the call log for a while and didn't know what he was enjoying.

Du Wenjuan got up very early the next day. She originally planned to have a maternity checkup with her husband so that the two of them could sleep more.

I didn't expect Peng Xingwang to wake up and insisted to accompany her to the hospital.

"Mom will be back soon, it will only take an hour." Du Wenjuan was afraid that he would come across germs in the hospital, so moved and hesitant: "Okay, just a while."

"I want to protect my mother." The child said seriously, "I also want to protect my younger siblings."

"Okay, let's go together."

Jiang forgets to get up earlier, walks

Bent back and brought breakfast, the style of work is exactly the same as Peng Xingwang.

Chang Hua never thought that Boss Jiang would be so polite, so he was embarrassed to answer and thanked him again and again.

"It's what we should have done. You are too careful. Thank you very much."

After doing these things, Jiang Wang realized that he had the mentality of Du Wenjuan's eldest son in his subconscious, he smiled and did not explain.

They have little interest in visiting attractions, and they are happy to accompany their mother to the hospital.

The fetus needs to have a large row of deformities at 22 weeks, and it needs to hold the urine for a long time, and then check the three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound, blood test and urine test to confirm whether the fetal facial features, limbs and internal organs are developing normally.

The obstetrics and gynecology department is basically a couple, and there are also a few pregnant women who are standing in line alone.

The whole process, as well as a series of popular science about having children.

Jiang Wang has been single for 28 years, so he really didn't understand these things, he was a little embarrassed and had to explain words he didn't know to the child.

Peng Xingwang had a very relaxed expression, but after reading the anatomy diagram, he was stunned.

Turn around to look at Jiang Wang: "Is it so painful to have a baby?"

He took the size of a tiger's mouth and expanded it to the size of a baby's head.

"Squeeze out like this?!"

Jiang Wang had not seen it himself, so he nodded forcefully: "Probably."

"Ah." The child sighed: "That mother really loves me."

Peng Xingwang somehow found the confidence that he could exist.

—My mother spent so much time giving birth to me, and I am still very important to her!

Jiang Wang probably knew about childbirth, but she really didn't know that she had to check it over and over again to get pregnant. Looking at the items in the flyer, it seemed like she was learning about a new world.

When Du Wenjuan came out again, the expressions of one big and one small were in awe, as if watching a miracle.

Du Wenjuan couldn't help laughing and laughing: "Don't be so nervous, it's fine, the result is good."

Peng Xingwang nodded solemnly, and reached out to hug her again.

"I have had a good time with Brother Jiang for the past two years, so I won't cause you any trouble."

Jiang Wang: "...?"

It did not take much time in the morning. In the afternoon, they drove to the nearby landscape tower to take pictures, and then slowly strolled through the folk customs street under the tower.

Cizhou has become rich all the way through light industry and tourism. The cultural attractions are well planned, and the small commodity street has specially invited professional actors to row dry boats and walk on stilts. .

Peng Xingwang ran quickly between the shops, watching the silversmith hammer a hammer and picking hairpins for her mother, holding a small purse and wishing to buy everything.

He turned around and bought Jiang Wang silver-pink sunglasses.

Colorful laser is full of energy.

"Brother! Cool or cool!"

Jiang Wang was in doubt while holding the fifty-dollar sunglasses.

"You really think I'm a good fit for this?"

Chang Hua laughed at the side: "It's okay, if you're not used to wearing it, you can send it to your girlfriend!"

Jiang Wang wanted to say where his girlfriend came from, so it would be Ji Linqiu to catch one temporarily.

The words felt wrong.

He didn't think much about it, he hung the sunglasses to the neckline and continued to stroll.

Du Wenjuan took a second look: "Children are very picky, you just happened to be wearing an aqua blue shirt today, the color matches well."

Jiang Wang's spine suddenly straightened, and he fiddled with his collar with a dry cough: "Really? Coincidence."

Halfway through the stroll, Chang Hua gradually opened his chatter and introduced the most famous specialty here—the fountain pen.

The fountain pen here in Cizhou is not as famous as the brand in Japan. In fact, it has secretly contracted most of the fountain pen production in China. It has good craftsmanship and low price, and its appearance is innovative. The porcelain pen and gold pen look good.

There is also an ancient pen shop in the folk street. Du Wenjuan just took the children to eat onion buns and green **** across the street. Jiang Wang said hello to Chang Hua and walked in. .

This shop specializes in the craftsmanship of cloisonné enamel, which is very luxurious in the Kang and Qian period.

Jiang Wang took a long look and stopped in another display box that was placed separately.

Resin material, rose gold edge, the color blends bright blue and dark green, like a starry summer night quietly falling into a dream, deep and gentle.

"How much is this?"

The owner of Pen Studio has been observing his choice, and he is in a good mood at the moment: "Good vision! This is the original pen I bought from Italy with a friend, it is not for sale!"

Jiang Wang: "...but I just want to buy this one."

The boss was a little reluctant, and wanted to share his love for this series with him. He specially took a small lamp and showed Jiang Wangzhao what was so special about it.

"VISTI, an old Italian brand, look at this platinum nib and the streamlined design of this barrel!"

He talked endlessly, as if he could finally catch a friend who would listen.

"I didn't expect it to be the first thing you saw at first sight. My friend was queuing up for this series until his leg was about to break!"

Jiang Wang seemed to be distracted, and seemed to have been listening. After a while, he said, "You said, what is this pen called?"

"Starry Night," said the boss proudly, "It sounds good, how can a normal pen have such a name!"

Jiang Wang nodded: "I want it, let's make an offer."

The boss was at a loss for words, and he didn't think about whether to sell it or not, and rubbed his hands again: "This... is a bit expensive."

"It's okay, how much."

The boss reported more than 2,000, and also explained that the labor cost of queuing and flying back and forth was discounted.

Jiang Wang nodded again and took out his card: "Can UnionPay be okay?"

The owner of Penzhai has been in business for so long, and he rarely encounters this kind of customer who doesn't bargain at all, with a surprised expression: "How about... I'll give you something cheaper?"

"No need." Jiang Wang shook his head.

He wants to give this pen to Ji Linqiu.

If he bargained, it would hurt his heart.

That night, Jiang Wang took a walk downstairs alone, estimated what Ji Linqiu was doing now, and called him again.

It took a while to pick up this time.

Before Ji Linqiu could speak, Jiang Wang took the lead: "Mr. Ji, I bought you a pen."

"I love this pen so much that I wanted to give it to you."

"You can't put this pen in the cabinet, it's better to use it every day."

He spoke without hesitation, not realizing that the words were full of coquettish coquettishness and domination.

Ji Linqiu didn't expect a series of words to answer the phone, so he smiled helplessly: "You made a unilateral decision like this?"

Jiang Wang also reacted, and for a while he felt that he was on fake wine, and he whined like a big-tailed wolf.

"It's okay if you don't accept it." He said in a low voice, "But if you don't accept it, I will be sad, quietly sad for a long time."

"Mr. Ji, are you willing?"

Ji Linqiu reached out and covered her eyes, like

You are deceiving yourself and breaking the taboo.

He felt hot when he heard Jiang Wang say every word, but he couldn't tell him this feeling.

I covered my eyes and listened to the last sentence, I felt a little angry, and laughed happily.

"Jiang Wang." Ji Linqiu called his name softly.

Jiang Wang's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he leaned against the wall and waited to hear the words behind.

"You are still too arrogant." Ji Linqiu still covered her eyes and whispered in the silence and darkness.

"What if I don't like you?"

The man hooked his lips, and the ending was lazy and seductive.

"No, you will."
