[Soft and cute food blogger × cool cultural relic restorer | The ultimate sweet pet in the misty rain of Jiangnan | No abuse in the whole process, double cleansing 1v1]
The first time Wen Ruan met Lu Zeyan was during the plum rainy season in Suzhou Old Alley.
The pattering rain wet her canvas bag and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she had just made.
She hid in front of a carved wooden door to take shelter from the rain. The door was opened, and the man was wearing a plain cotton and linen shirt. His knuckled hands were still stained with a little ink, and his eyebrows were cold, like a man walking out of an ancient painting.
He looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, remained silent for a few seconds, and then turned sideways to let her in: "The rain won't stop for a while, come in and take shelter."
Later, everyone in the Suzhou Museum knew that their unkind teacher Lu, who only saw ancient calligraphy and paintings, had changed.
In the past, Teacher Lu, apart from pens, inks, paper, inkstones and repair tools, not even a single extra snack was allowed in the studio;
Now Teacher Lu always has a soft rabbit ceramic jar on his desk, which always contains snacks made by Wen Ruan, such as sweet-scented osmanthus cake, peach blossom cake, and Dingsheng cake. They are sweet but not greasy, just like the little girl he hides in his heart.
In the past, Mr. Lu cherished words like gold, and it was annoying to have to say more than two sentences when others asked questions;
Today, Teacher Lu can tell Wen Ruan about the dim sum allusions in an ancient painting over and over again for an entire afternoon, with a tone so gentle that it can make you choke.
Colleagues secretly made bets on when Teacher Lu could catch the little girl.
Only Lu Zeyan himself knew that when she held up half a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the corner of the eaves and asked him with bright eyes, "Do you want to take a bite?", He had already fallen.
He had repaired countless broken ancient paintings and made up for countless incomplete moments, but he never expected that in the end, a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and a soft little girl would fill all the sweetness for the rest of his life.
Small Theater
After Wen Ruan's food column became popular, a reporter interviewed her: "Teacher Ruan Ruan, you have restored so many Chinese snacks in ancient paintings. What is your biggest source of inspiration?"
Before Wen Ruan could speak, Lu Zeyan, who was next to her, reached out and gently wiped away some pastry crumbs stuck to the corner of her mouth. His tone was calm but with an unconcealable tenderness: "The source of inspiration is me. All the ancient painting materials she is looking for were given by me."
Reporter:? ? ? What about the food inspiration you mentioned? Why was he fed a mouthful of dog food?
Later, the reporter learned that this teacher Lu not only gave the information, but also gave it to people. He even gave it the name of the column.
