Views:

"It's been a while since I last saw you here," Ding Sha smiled as he brought him a glass of mint lemonade and sat down, "What would you like to eat?"

"Do you still have the peony fruit you filmed in the video a few days ago?" Lin Jiayu said with a smile, "After watching the video, I decided to come over."

"It's not difficult to get. We have it today. I'll get it for you." Ding Sha stood up and asked Du Rourou to make tea.

Chinese dim sum tastes best when eaten with tea.

Du Rourou brewed a pot of Wang Wenhao's beloved Taiping Houkui tea, which made Wang Wenhao feel very distressed.

Du Rourou put down the tea excitedly and asked, "Excuse me, are you Professor Lin?"

Lin Jiayu paused, "Do you know me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I am Professor Liu Yongfang's student, and the teacher often mentions you in class." Du Rourou nodded quickly.

"It's Teacher Liu," Lin Jiayu smiled gently, "Teacher Liu is a very good teacher. He taught me a lot of knowledge. You must learn from him well."

Du Rourou nodded repeatedly, trying to hold back but still couldn't help it, "Um, Teacher Lin, I edited most of Sister Shasha's videos, can you please correct my homework for me?"

She was a little embarrassed.

Lin Jiayu was very happy. Every teacher likes to see students who are eager to learn. After a little thought, he also put forward several suggestions for shortcomings and improvements.

Du Rourou copied the menu and started taking notes.

When Ding Sha came out, he saw this scene.

Du Rourou held the notebook and retreated to practice. Ding Sha smiled and handed it to him, "Here, want to try it?"

Lin Jiayu looked at it carefully and said, "It's really beautiful."

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"Of course." Ding Sha also sat down.

"This is a snack mentioned in A Dream of Red Mansions. It was mentioned by Granny Liu during her second visit to the Grand View Garden."

"Prepare glutinous rice flour and wheat flour, then pour hot water and stir. When it becomes flocculent, put it on the board and add lard to knead it into a ball."

"Take out the pulp of the pomegranate and squeeze out the juice. Because there are many seeds, it is usually best to filter it with gauze after squeezing it with a juicer. You can also use a mortar to crush it."

“Knead part of the dough with pomegranate juice to make it light pink, and part with pumpkin juice to make it yellow.”

"This is actually not difficult to master. The main thing is to shape the dough into a flower, which is quite challenging."

Ding Sha pushed the plate to Lin Jiayu and said, "Pinch it into flowers and steam it for four or five minutes before eating."

Lin Jiayu looked at the delicate and beautiful snacks and couldn't bear to eat them for a moment.

Pink and white petals, yellow stamens, layer upon layer, are extremely beautiful.

Beautiful and lifelike.

"It's really a work of art!" Lin Jiayu exclaimed.

"Try it?" Ding Sha said, "It doesn't taste as good as it looks, but it looks good anyway."

After taking a bite at noon, Lin Jiayu had to agree with this statement.

After taking a sip of tea to clear his mouth, Lin Jiayu began to talk about her purpose.

"I came here this time because I want to discuss something with you." Lin Jiayu took out a stack of papers. "Because of the special nature of our course, we actually value actual works. I want to bring my students to your place to shoot."

"They are about to graduate, and they also need graduation works to submit their resumes."

Lin Jiayu took out a contract, which clearly stated the location, time and requirements of the filming, as well as the remuneration for the filming.

"In previous years, we rented a small garden, so that we could have more choices. But this year, the situation is special, so I had to focus on you as a better 'shooting material'."

Lin Jiayu blinked one eye, looking playful for once.

Ding Sha flipped through the contract and agreed without much thought, "Okay, tell me one day in advance when you're coming so I can clear the place."

"No need. The guests in the hotel are also a kind of scenery. As long as they ask for others' consent, it counts." Lin Jiayu shook her head.

Everything was discussed, Lin Jiayu stood up and patted her clothes, "It's getting late, I should leave too."

Ding Sha walked him to the door and said, "Welcome to come again next time."

"I will definitely come." Lin Jiayu waved his hand casually and strode forward.

"Why are you so nice to him, Shasha?" Xiao Jun walked over with a bad feeling.

"Don't you think he is amazing?" Ding Sha was still looking at Lin Jiayu's straight back.

"I'm great too!" Xiao Jun raised his hand to show her the muscles in his arm.

"It's different." Ding Sha held her arm and said, "Teacher Lin is a very gentle yet strong person."

"He was really sad, but also very determined. He couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. He just gave up on a relationship of more than ten years. And he adjusted himself so quickly."

"It seems like nothing can defeat him."

"He always seemed to be able to stride forward with love and tenderness."

Xiao Jun understood what she meant, touched her head and let her lean on his shoulder, "We will too, and we will always walk with love."

Ding Sha smiled.

"Sister Shasha!" Du Rourou rushed out of the house, "Something big has happened!"

"What's wrong? Take your time and talk, don't be impatient," Ding Sha was startled by her.

"Do you know the famous pickle factory 'Fan Xiang Xiang'?"

"I know, we still have a lot at home," Ding Sha pointed to the back kitchen. When her pickled vegetables were not enough, she would often use the pickles from that family, which were delicious and clean.

"He...he he he sent me a message!" Du Rourou pointed at her phone excitedly.

"What's wrong? Are you invited to work?" Wang Wenhao interrupted.

"Get lost!" Du Rourou yelled at him fiercely, then added, "It wasn't to me, it was to Sister Shasha's account!"

"Give it to me?" Ding Sha was a little confused. "Why send it to me?"

"They said two things. The first one was that they wanted to ask if you could co-brand a new series of pickles. The other thing was that they wanted to ask if you would accept the promotion."

"Promotion? Collaboration?" Ding Sha was confused.

"It's like this. Although Fan Xiang Xiang is very well-known, it hasn't made much profit in the past few years. The factory is almost unable to operate, so we want to make a breakthrough and make one last effort." Du Rourou explained. She was also very confused, so she looked up some information and found out that such a seemingly excellent factory has actually been so difficult to run.

Ding Sha was a little hesitant. Du Rourou thought for a while and said, "Sister, if you are worried, why don't we go to their factory for an on-site inspection? If it is really the case, we can consider whether to do it or not, okay?"

"Okay!" Ding Sha thought about it and felt it was feasible, so he immediately asked Du Rourou to reply.

Fan Xiangxiang agreed readily and even covered the round-trip airfare and accommodation expenses.

Xiao Jun stayed to look after the store, while Ding Sha took Du Rourou there.

After staying for about three days, he rushed back exhausted.

With a signed contract.
