"Can you do it in three days?"
Austin stared at the gold coins Zhou Bai slapped on the table, and a bright smile immediately broke out on his face.
"No problem! I guarantee you will be able to learn it within three days."
Zhou Bai also smiled.
Picking up the three gold coins on the table, he slowly walked to Austin.
Then, he grabbed his collar.
Austin was pulled by Zhou Bai and his whole body was lifted up by him. He could only stand on tiptoes with difficulty.
"What...what?"
Zhou Bai smiled at him, and then put the three gold coins into his pocket with his own hands.
Then he put him down.
Austin patted his chest and took a breath.
Zhou Bai glanced at him.
"I'm guaranteed to learn it within three days. What if I can't learn it?"
"Can you learn it? If you can't learn it, then it must be you..."
Austin was about to say the word "stupid" when he looked at Zhou Bai, but he could only swallow it back.
Then he put on a smile.
"Haha, I can definitely learn it."
Zhou Bai would not give him a chance to answer so perfunctorily.
"If you can't learn it, give me back double the money I just gave you."
When Austin heard this, he immediately tightened his grip on the money in his pocket.
"How about that? What if you deliberately can't learn?"
Zhou Bai took out two more gold coins from his pocket.
"Do you think I am the one who is short of those few gold coins?
You teach me within three days as agreed, and I will give you two more gold coins."
Austin looked at Zhou Bai and said, "That doesn't seem like it."
Then, he continued, "Okay, okay. Three days is all."
After saying that, he stared at the two gold coins.
Zhou Bai ignored his look and put the two gold coins back into his bag.
Austin could only retract his gaze, and then started his own cake teaching course.
The rest of the teaching time went fairly smoothly.
The first step in making Christmas cake is to make the cake embryo.
Zhou Bai followed Austin's instructions and quickly prepared the batter needed to bake the cake.
Even Austin, who always had a sharp tongue, couldn't help but nod appreciatively when he saw Zhou Bai's progress in learning.
"Compared to that idiot yesterday, you are much better."
Although it was a compliment, Zhou Bai felt that it didn't sound very happy.
Austin's gloved hands picked up the cake on Zhou Bai's table and put it in the oven.
Zhou Bai's eyes fell on Austin's gloves, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.
There is no way, after staying in the world of ghost stories for a long time, I will always be more sensitive to seeing such props that cover my skin.
Zhou Bai guessed that maybe there would be down, feathers, or fish scales hidden under his gloves.
Zhou Bai stared at Austin's gloves.
Holding the cake, Austin turned his head and saw Zhou Bai's eyes.
The expression on his face darkened.
Zhou Bai could clearly feel that the temperature around him dropped in an instant.
He could only pretend to be calm and look at the cake he made.
Austin's eyes stayed on Zhou Bai's face for a while.
Then he continued to put the cake Zhou Bai had made into the oven.
While pressing the button on the oven, he turned to Zhou Bai and said.
"Adjust the temperature to 145 degrees and wait another 80 minutes for the cake to come out of the oven."
Zhou Bai withdrew his gaze and returned to his student state.
He nodded and wrote down the temperature and time he mentioned on a piece of paper on the table.
After the cake is put in the oven, all that's left is waiting time.
Zhou Bai took out his mobile phone and looked at the time on the screen.
I saw the current time displayed above, which is 4:20 pm.
There is still over an hour of waiting time.
Zhou Bai followed Austin and walked outside to where the bread was displayed.
Austin seemed to be in a good mood, humming a song and arranging the bread on the counter.
Zhou Bai found a place to sit down out of boredom.
While waiting for his cake to come out of the oven, he stared at the passersby outside the house in a daze.
In the afternoon, there were many pedestrians coming and going in the quiet town.
Many people passed by the bakery, but no one came in to buy bread.
Zhou Bai looked at Austin, who was humming, and then at the bread on the counter.
A strange feeling emerged in my heart.
First of all, the owner of the restaurant should be right.
This bakery is not doing well.
Austin is indeed not popular in this small town.
However, the strange thing is that Austin is so stingy and money-hungry.
Why can he still sing when he can't sell so much bread?
He looked very busy, but he didn't seem to care about his bread.
At this time, Zhou Bai recalled the way Austin looked at the store opposite just now.
Then he also set his sights on the decoration store.
"What are you looking at?"
Austin suddenly appeared behind Zhou Bai.
He made a sudden noise, which startled Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai turned around and gave him an unfriendly look.
The other party could only laugh awkwardly.
"Haha, are you planning to buy decorations?
Let me tell you, the owner of that shop is not a good person."
Zhou Bai felt that Austin didn't seem like a good person either.
Austin was afraid that Zhou Bai wouldn't believe it, so he compensated, "Especially the things he sells, you must be careful."
Zhou Bai recalled what was needed to decorate the pine tree in the rules.
I remembered the bundled sales in that store again.
Suddenly I felt that what Austin said might be true.
At this time, the oven in the bakery had already made a beeping sound.
"The cake is baked."
Austin said something and walked towards the oven.
Zhou Bai also stood up from his chair and prepared to follow.
At this time, he looked outside the glass door with his peripheral vision.
I saw Buz's car driving over at this time and had already parked at the door of the bakery in advance.
Zhou Bai looked at the time on his phone.
5:40.
20 minutes ahead of schedule.
He is indeed a conscientious little brother.
He glanced at the car outside the door, then followed Austin and walked in.
At this time, Austin had already opened the oven and took out the cake embryo made by Zhou Bai.
He looked at the cake on the table and admired it.
"Not bad.
It’s just a little bit worse than when I first learned it.”
Zhou Bai looked at the cake on the table and was very satisfied with his work.
Austin adjusted his chef hat again and said.
“Let’s end today’s lesson here.
We will continue the rest tomorrow."
Zhou Bai didn't have much opinion on this.
I said goodbye to him and walked out of the bakery.
Buzz was sitting in the car and saw Zhou Bai coming out, so he quickly came over to help him open the door.
Zhou Bai was sitting in the car, but asked Buz, "Are you armed?"
Buz didn't know Zhou Bai's intention, so he could only answer honestly.
"Yes, sir.
There were two long knives in the car at all times."
Zhou Bai nodded.
"Okay. Then let's go walk among the tombs together."
