Chapter 4 Chapter Four

... At that time, when I saw that girl, the girl with the hair tie showed contemptuous eyes and looked at me with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, I seemed to hear her say in my ear: "You poor Obasan, we Stealing for fun and excitement, people like you who work hard for a living are incomprehensible. 'Yes, I did have some distance from them, so I kept telling myself that it was an auditory hallucination, because I was too nervous.Besides, what right do I have to accuse others?Just because I feel this way in my heart... So there's no way to ignore the crimes of those kids... It's a far-fetched reasoning, isn't it?

Those children laughed at me, even though they were thieves, they dared to laugh at me, so I reported them, not expecting that I was as shameful as them, and I only hoped that they would be caught alive. Mr. Police, those children should be punished, right?I have helped so much, you should not treat them lightly... Anyway, that's it. After the girls succeeded for the first time, Ms. Jing Cheng, who was completely unaware of the existence of the girls, also stole a bottle of milk sauce.Excitedly walking around in the store, she happened to meet the girl wearing a hair tie, and saw the girl looking at her with a smile, and it was only then that Ms. Jingcheng realized that her crime had been discovered—at this moment, she Suddenly saw other girls strike again.

It is conceivable how excited Ms. Jing Cheng was, just to avenge the humiliation of being ridiculed, so she triumphantly raised her voice. Chef Changfeng said: "The girl wearing the hairband just intuited that Ms. Jingcheng did the same thing, so she looked at her with a smile. As for whether her smile is the same as Miss Jingcheng's, it is out of disgust for herself. That is unknown. Maybe those children are not as weak as Miss Jingcheng, and they don't care about doing bad things." I don't know who is more hateful and who is more kind.In short, there are criminals on both sides. I just hope that such people will not come to our store.

"No matter how strange the behavior seems to others," Chef Changfeng said, "as long as it has its own reason and pattern, any behavior has a motive. When she saw the girls stealing, Ms. Jingcheng seemed to see herself The ugly figure reflected in the mirror makes a harsh voice from the heart, which comes from the conscience, a voice of self-blame. If the girl is a mirror reflecting Ms. Jingcheng, then Miss Jingcheng is also a mirror of the girl, so it echoes in the The murmur in her head is the voice of the mirror, that is, the mirror that reflects the voice of the heart, isn't it? Maybe Ms. Jingcheng is eager to do something out of the ordinary, such as stealing, reporting other people's crimes, etc., so she She doesn't think about the consequences of what she does. She just wants to use the excitement brought about by her out-of-order behavior to heal the accumulated pressure... In a sense, she and those girls have the same mentality , neither can find any value and fun in daily life, and can't bear the same life, so I have to do this. That's the thing."

I sighed: "Will those girls really be punished? Or will they never repent for the rest of their lives?" "They have been punished. At least for them, no matter what dessert they eat, they will never feel delicious, and their hearts will always be hungry and thirsty. Until they realize this, they will live in punishment. Even if they suddenly repent one day, I am afraid Irreparable, the heart will only be more empty and desolate." It's time for me to go back to the kitchen.Chef Changfeng stood up and said, "Once Valentine's Day is over, there will be fewer customers. Please come again."

"I really envy you!" I looked around and murmured, "Although our store is not in a deficit crisis, there are almost no new customers except for regular customers. After all, it is a traditional old store, and we don't know how to make surprises." Planning. Even if it is done, customers may not appreciate it, unlike your pastry shop where you can come up with all kinds of new promotions." "There are also customers who prefer the same old things! At least I like the rice cake and red bean soup of Fukusakodo very much. If it becomes cocoa or lemon flavor, it will be troublesome."

Seeing that I couldn't help laughing, Chef Changfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't think too much, dessert knows all the answers anyway."
