Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little

Chapter 67: happy you are by my side

In the off-season of tourism recently, there are many fewer visitors every day, and there are not many students. The overall passenger flow is concentrated on Friday nights and weekends.

This Saturday, the traffic will be slightly more than usual.

Bai Yao was in the kitchen preparing the ingredients for the evening. It was still early, and there were still three hours before he left the store. He calmly cleaned the aquatic products that needed to be used and put them on a plate for later use.

He didn't pay much attention to Mu Muer, and after a while he remembered to see what the little sea otter was doing.

The weather started to turn cold, and it was already starting to feel a little cold in short sleeves. Bai Yao opened the window, leaned out half of his body, and saw Mu Mu'er sitting on the hammock in the yard at a glance. The boy is in a daze.

There was a mist on the surface of the sea, and the sea water was dyed a deep blue, deeper than the opal green in summer. Today's waves are gentle, with white foam on the top of the waves, and the air has a slightly salty ocean smell, mixed with distant water. The fragrance of green plants wafts from the town.

Mu Muer sat quietly on the hammock, didn't play with his phone or play with his little shells, just sat quietly, staring at a place, not sure if he had any thoughts.

Mu Mu'er didn't move for a long time, watching the wind chimes in the corner of the eaves swaying with the breeze.

It seems that since Mu Yi left, Mu Mu'er has become a little more cautious, a little more timid than before, thinking twice about Bai Yao's face when doing anything.

Bai Yao knew that he was afraid that he would drive him away, that he would abandon him.

Before Mu Yi came, Mu Mu'er would often play tricks, hide from Bai Yao and play with her phone quietly, or hide from him to hide snacks, waiting for him to take a shower or steal them when he is busy.

But he can't do it now, he is usually very obedient, if Bai Yao's expression is a little more serious, Mu Mu'er will be aggrieved and reflect on whether he has done something wrong, whether he went to bed without brushing his teeth, or threw shells everywhere.

He seemed to hope that he could be more obedient, so that Bai Yao would never drive him away again.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yao felt only distressed, and didn't know how to explain to Mu Mu'er that no matter what he did, he would never leave him. From now on, only if Mu Muer wants to go to City C to find Mu Yi, Bai Yao will let him leave.

Bai Yao didn't go out, but kept an eye on Mu Mu'er while chopping fungus. The more he looked, the more he felt that he was huddled there, looking a little aggrieved and pitiful.

Not only is it pitiful, but it also seems a little boring, so boring that it is about to grow mushrooms, and a few crab-flavored mushrooms are about to pop out on the top of its head.

He endured it, but in the end he couldn't hold it back anymore, he raised his voice and shouted to Mu Muer: "Would Muer come to help Yaoyao?"

Mu Muer was more active than Bai Yao imagined, when she heard Bai Yao calling him, she immediately got up and ran into the kitchen. Standing up so quickly, Bai Yao was a little worried that his brain would be congested, and he would fall to the ground after fainting.

"Help!" He rushed into the kitchen in two or three steps, and leaned close to Bai Yao, keeping no distance between him and him, sticking close to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you help?"

His expression is sincere and expectant, a little more obedient than a little milk dog.

It's so cute that people can't help but want to pinch his cheek.

There is seafood hot and sour soup on the menu in the evening. You need to beat the eggs into a bowl in advance and stir them into egg liquid. Bai Yao thinks this should not be difficult, so he asks Mu Mu'er to help beat the eggs.

This was Mu Muer's first time helping Bai Yao with work, and she was very careful. She was afraid that she might do something wrong, so she asked Bai Yao if she could do it right after she cracked an egg.

It was an ordinary job, but in his hands, it seemed to have become a sacred task. Mu Muer's expression is very serious when she is concentrating on doing things, it is the kind of seriousness with a bit of cuteness, like a little milk cat who thinks she is very fierce, baring her small teeth and barking, it is actually very fun .

He will knock an egg lightly on the side of the bowl first, and after a crack is formed, he will see if he can break it open. None of them got into the bowl.

He cracked more than twenty eggs for a long time. After finishing, he looked up at Bai Yao proudly, waiting for him to praise him.

Bai Yao didn't let him down, exaggerated but mastered the strength skillfully, and said to Mu Muer, "Wow, Muer is so powerful."

He put his elbow on the top of Mu Muer's head, showing a light and handsome smile: "Without Muer, Yaoyao doesn't even know what to do."

A lovely blush appeared on Mu Mu'er's cheeks, she was a little shy, her eyes were evasive and embarrassed to look at Bai Yao: "Yaoyao, you're welcome, from now on, Mu'er will help beat the eggs."

"Okay, that's going to help a lot."

There was nothing to do now, Bai Yao cleaned up the dirty kitchen utensils in the pool, and turned around to set up chairs outside the restaurant. The moment he was about to step out of the kitchen, he heard Mu Muer say a word behind him.

"Mu'er doesn't want to be a little trash."

His voice was so soft that Bai Yao even thought he had heard it wrong, until he turned around and saw Mu Muer's aggrieved expression on her face, with her head lowered and cautious expression, then he understood.

Bai Yao stopped what he was doing, his heart tightened, numb with pain.

Combining with Mu Muer's expression of actively running into the kitchen to help, Bai Yao knew exactly what he was thinking now.

It's not that Mu Mu'er doesn't know anything, he knows a lot, and his mind is even more sensitive than ordinary people. Although he doesn't talk much, he is good at observing, and he is more likely to notice things that others can't think of.

He felt that he was useless and unable to help Bai Yao, and he even kept in mind what the lady with the child said to him that time.

The little sea otter is not heartless, he knows everything.

"Mu'er." Bai Yao returned to the kitchen and stood in front of Mu Muer.峣偠

Mu Mu'er immediately recognized that his voice was a little serious, and immediately became more serious, imitating his voice, and lowered her voice: "Yaoyao."

Bai Yao considered what he was going to say next, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "Does Mu'er know how happy Yaoyao is that you are here?"

After hearing this, Mu Muer thought about it carefully, and finally shook her head.

"Mu'er adds seafood fried rice, a big swimming pool, a tree that can blow bubbles, a moon rabbit, all these together, think about how happy you are, and then multiply this happiness by a hundred times." Bai Yaodun After a pause, he raised his hand and used his index finger to brush away the loose hair on Mu Muer's forehead, "Ten bowls of fried rice, twenty swimming pools, fifty small tung tree trees... Yaoyao will always be bigger than Mu'er imagined." I want to like you even more."

After talking too much, Mu Mu'er couldn't keep up. She was stunned for a long time before she gradually understood Bai Yao's meaning. When he fully understood, a sincere smile appeared on his face bit by bit, and his eyes were full of light.

"Muer also likes Yaoyao." Mu Muer felt that she hadn't said enough, so she added, "I like it very much."

He didn't list many things like Bai Yao did, so he stretched out his arms and drew a big and round circle, and then shouted: "I like it so much!"

Bai Yao felt as if his heart was filled with colorful small shells. To humans, these shells were worthless, and they might not even look at them when they were sold at street stalls, but to him, they could not be found in the world. , and now I picked it up on the beach by accident and luck.

He doesn't know much, he can cook, make Mu Mu'er happy, and give him a shelter that can protect him from wind and rain, but in this home, "I like you" may be enough.

There is still more than an hour before the opening of the shop at night. Anyway, there is nothing to do, so Bai Yao wants to study the recipes of new desserts.

Desserts on the restaurant menu have always been the same: rice dumplings, matcha cake rolls, caramel baked brulee, and chocolate puffs that children love.

Bai Yao didn't have much research on desserts, and he was proficient at making these, so he never tried new desserts. As time goes by, I get tired of doing these things over and over again. Taking advantage of the low season recently, I can develop new desserts. When the peak season of November comes, I can just update the menu.

There are still a lot of blueberries at home, as well as cream and cream cheese, which is just right for a blueberry cheese pudding to try. Bai Yao has a certain talent in cooking, so he will be able to read the recipe once or twice, and most of the finished products made on the first attempt are indistinguishable from the recipe.

Because of this, Qi Ya teased him many times.

Mu Muer lay beside Bai Yao and watched him make pudding, her eyes were full of anticipation.

The cream cheese is mixed with sugar and then mixed into a paste in a bowl, and the blueberries are boiled on a small fire on the side of the stove to make a sauce... This dessert is not difficult, mainly to see if the finished product is ready for sale on the menu degree.

Bai Yao's used spoons, bowls, mixing spoons and spatulas were all licked by Mu Muer, and she always felt that she was surrounded by a greedy dog.

If there were no spoons or utensils to lick, Mu Muer would just stare at the bowl without blinking, until Bai Yao helplessly scraped a sip of the stirred blueberry cheese for him. Every time she gets a small spoonful of cheese, Mu Muer stuffs it into her mouth without any hesitation.

The pudding is not ready yet, but the taste has already come out. The cream cheese tastes slightly sweet, and the taste is not greasy after being mixed with fresh cream. The blueberry jam added in it has a light and sweet fragrance, which is suitable for eating in hot summer.

Mu Mu'er licked all the spoons clean, she didn't eat enough, she stared straight at Bai Yao's mixing bowl, she was so greedy that she almost drooled.

The pudding is called pudding after adding melted gelatine and waiting for it to solidify. Now it is at best a bowl of mush and cannot be eaten.

Bai Yao saw that he was really greedy, so he dug another spoon and handed it to Mu Muer, letting him lick it slowly, but Mu Muer took it, put the spoon in his mouth, blinked twice, innocent He looked at Bai Yao intently.

"Don't worry, it'll be Mu'er's when it's done." Bai Yao was amused in his heart, so he couldn't laugh out loud, and put the tray into the refrigerator.

After half an hour, the puddings were solidified and ready to be taken out. Bai Yao unhurriedly squeezed cream on top of each pudding, and added a small mint leaf as decoration.

Mu Muer waited patiently by the side, staring at the small plate of pudding, her upper body lying on the table, her toes standing on tiptoe.

"Okay, it's done." Bai Yao announced as he put down the tweezers holding the mint leaves.

"Wow." Mu Muer sighed softly, but didn't reach out to take it, waiting for Bai Yao to pick up a cup and hand it to herself.

Bai Yao has no interest in sweets at all, so he didn't intend to eat them at first, but Mu Muer saw that he didn't eat after taking two bites, so she immediately dug a large spoonful of pudding with her own spoon and brought it directly to Bai Yao's mouth.

"Give it to Yaoyao."

It wasn't until Bai Yao took that bite into his mouth that he remembered that it was the spoon that Mu Muer had licked.

It's not disgusting, but this...is it taking advantage?

He just wanted to say that this is not good, but Mu Muer didn't feel anything wrong at all, and continued to use the spoon that Bai Yao had licked, scooped up a large spoonful of pudding and put it in his mouth to lick.

Bai Yao looked at Mu Muer, who was unaware and happily eating pudding, and always felt that he should say something. After deliberating for a long time, he finally said slowly, "Yao Yao has licked this spoon."

"En." Mu Mu'er nodded, looked at the spoon, then at Bai Yao, but still didn't feel anything wrong.

He was a little puzzled by Bai Yao's stare, and he didn't understand why Bai Yao specifically said that. Mu Mu'er thought for a while, and suddenly understood, showing an expression of sudden understanding, and handed the spoon to his mouth: "Yaoyao still want to lick?"

"…No."

Forget it, it doesn't make sense that snow leopards and sea otters aren't on the same channel.

The taste of the pudding is okay, the texture is a little hard, it should be that there is too much gelatin. Bai Yao wrote down in his notebook that it would be fine to reduce it from ten grams to eight grams. After buying new ingredients tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he will try to make two more.

"Yao Yao."

Bai Yao twirled the pen between his fingers, wondering what other fruit-flavored puddings might be popular besides blueberries, when Mu Muer called him, he didn't look back, and gave a absent-minded "hmm".

Mu Muer pulled the corner of his clothes: "I want to eat Camaron."

The ballpoint pen twirled deftly between the two fingers, and Bai Yao pondered for a few seconds before he understood what he was talking about, held back his smile, and without correcting him, continued, "Who did you learn the words from? "

Since Mu Muer has a mobile phone, she often looks around on it. She also learned how to use Douyin and Weibo. On the software, she happened to see macarons made by an official account that makes desserts.

He saw this cute round dessert a few days ago, and he really wanted to eat it, but he didn't have the nerve to tell Bai Yao, worried that he would dislike him and be greedy for delicious food.

The phone was stuffed in his trouser pocket, Mu Muer took it out, clicked on the small video he saw, and handed it to Bai Yao to watch.

"Yaoyao do it!"

Macaron is not very easy to make, it is one of the most difficult desserts to make, and it can't be made decent after ten times of practice.

Bai Yao took a look at the phone, and what Mu Muer fell in love with was a kind of lamb-shaped macaron, which was more difficult to make than ordinary ones. Three colors of batter had to be prepared, not just extruding the **** with a piping bag. It is enough to shape the batter, and the wool of the sheep has to be squeezed out bit by bit.

The little things are quite worthy of themselves.

Bai Yao went to the Culinary Academy to learn mainly Chinese and Western food cooking, and later he focused on learning the cooking methods of various seafood and aquatic products, and never studied pastry chef.

Simple types can usually be made by looking at the recipes, but he has no confidence in difficult desserts like macarons. It's one thing to have no confidence, if it takes so much effort to research a fresh food for Mu Muer, Bai Yao hopes that it will be nutritious and not just a delicious dessert with such a high sugar content.

Without even thinking about it, he perfunctorily refused: "Yaoyao can't."

"Yes! Mu'er can help."

Bai Yao laughed, as if the little sea otter is good at cooking, he spoke with confidence.

Why is he hungry for everything, as if he hasn't eaten for hundreds of years.

Seeing Bai Yao ignoring her, Mu Muer was not very happy, so she turned around and left, muttering in a low voice: "Then Muer is looking for brother, let him buy it for him."

The little things are getting better and better now, and they all know to ask Mu Yi for support.

Mu Yi talks to Mu Muer on the phone every two days, if Mu Muer doesn't take the initiative to call Mu Yi, he will call, mainly to ask if Bai Yao treats him well and if he takes good care of him.

And every time it ends with Mu Muer saying all kinds of good things about Bai Yao from the bottom of her heart.

If it was Bai Yao who answered the call, the topic would always revolve around Mu Muer, and after two or three sentences, it would turn back to him.

"No." Bai Yao's attitude changed immediately, and he snatched the mobile phone that Mu Mu'er took out, put it in his pocket and confiscated it, "I will buy whatever you want, and Yaoyao will make it for you."

--------------------

I saw Youbao asked when it would end~

Hurry up! There are still some plots that need to be explained, and the following is probably the sweet daily life. I hope the relationship between the two can be deeper and Mu'er can be more confident. He is not very smart, and it may take time for him to understand love.

And I haven't sprinkled much sugar yet, how could I be willing to end it (˙˙)

It will be finished by the end of this month~

Thank you for your favorite starfish rewards~ Come and kiss!
