First love is as sweet as ice cream

In the spring of p>1919, Princess Charlotte of Luxembourg inherited the throne, and at the same time she married Prince Felix, a descendant of Bourbon family.

The whole royal family of Luxembourg is very lively. In order to welcome those distinguished guests, the chefs are busy all night. 18-year-old boy Leon has been working in this kitchen for four years. At the age of 14, he followed his relatives who were cooks from Greece to Luxembourg, and later entered the palace.

Leon has been so busy these days that his hands have been soaked in the water for so long that almost every finger is cracked.

I finally got a little free time. Leon sat at the door and scrubbed the wound with salt water. "This is too unsanitary, and the wound is easily inflamed." A thin voice floated gently into Leon's ear. He looked up and saw a girl standing in the sun. The girl generously sat down beside him and said, "It must hurt to scrub with medicine." She stared at Leon's finger and frowned slightly in love. Just when Leon didn't know how to answer, a maid ran in and said, "Princess Bazaar, go, the lady is looking for you!" " The girl rushed back? Leon smiled and hurried out with the maid. So she is a princess! In the palace, no one cared about him except the relatives who brought him in, let alone the princess. Her brief greetings gave him a warm illusion.

Later, Leon learned that 15-year-old Bazaar was a distant relative of the Bourbon family. Being helpless, Prince Felix brought him here.

once, Leon was busy with his work, when he turned his head, he suddenly found a head poking around the kitchen door. When the other side met Leon's eyes, they waved happily at him. That's Princess Bazaar. She slipped Leon a cloth bag and left in a panic. Leon opened the cloth bag and found a healing ointment inside. That night, Leon was lying in bed, and there was always a frown on Bazaar's face because of his love. What an understanding girl, his heart was warm and sweet.

A few days later, an earl will hold a small banquet in the palace for his birthday. The ice cream cone at the banquet was just popular at that time, and it became the favorite dessert of young princesses and princes. In fact, Bazaar also likes ice cream, but this kind of rare food is not her turn. Leon began to try to make ice cream for her.

that night, Leon sneaked into the kitchen. After a while, he made an orange-flavored ice cream. Bazaar tasted the sweet and smooth ice cream and looked intoxicated, as if she had fallen into some beautiful memories. Later, she told Leon softly that her mother was an imaginative woman who liked to make ice cream of various flavors for her when she was alive. Leon suddenly realized that there were memories of Bazaar's mother in the ice cream. Besides, since her mother is English and Bazaar is proficient in English, she often teaches Leon simple English, which seems to help her relive her memories of her mother.

From then on, Leon often mixed various flavors of ice cream for Bazaar. Many starry nights, they tasted delicious ice cream. Also let the sweetness of love linger in my heart. However, due to the differences in status and situation, none of them said their love in their hearts, but silently buried it in their hearts.

sad hot chocolate can't stay in love

once, bazaar suddenly said, "? Leon, would chocolate taste better in ice cream? "Bazaar's wish is Leon's motivation, and he has a new goal: chocolate ice cream." How to make chocolate melt into ice cream and have the best taste makes him worry. Just as he was thinking hard, a message blew into the palace of Luxembourg like an evil wind.

At the beginning of the 21th century, tiny Luxembourg had a very low status in Europe, and from time to time, people proposed to abolish the royal privilege. In order to find a backer and ally, in 1921, Luxembourg established an economic alliance with neighboring Belgium. In order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, royal marriage has become the best way, and the chosen person is Princess Bazaar. The news exploded in the imperial kitchen, and Leon, who was immersed in making chocolate ice cream, felt his heart twitch violently.

For three days in a row, Princess Bazaar didn't show up at the dinner table. Anxious Leon is looking forward to Wednesday night, because that's the day they agreed to make chocolate ice cream together. But that night, Bazaar stood me up, and she didn't show up until the ice cream on Leon's plate melted completely. Leon felt a heartbreaking pain.

It was a month after Bazaar appeared in Leon's sight. That afternoon, he accidentally saw Bazaar at the table. She lost a circle, and the whole person looked a lot haggard. Just at the moment when she saw Leon, generate in her eyes showed two strong lights, which hurt Leon's heart like a sword. He wanted to rush over, grab Bazaar's hand and question her, hoping that she would tell herself that everything was false and that she would not marry because he was the one she really loved. But he is a servant and she is a noble princess. Leon can't confirm her love.

On this day, Leon prepared ice cream for the princesses and princes. As the real chocolate ice cream has not been successfully prepared, he used his quick wits to write several English letters "DOVE" directly in hot chocolate on Bazaar's ice cream, which is the abbreviation of "DO YOU LOVE ME". He believes that if Bazaar has a heart, he will definitely read his mind. Leon stared at Bazaar nervously, watching the ice cream with letters turned to her, but Bazaar didn't read the letters carefully until the hot chocolate on it melted. She just stayed for a long time and then ate the last ice cream he made for her with tears in her eyes.

A few days later, Bazaar got married. Leon sat on the high hillside, watching the car carrying Bazaar drive away. The ice cream in his hand melted, and the girl he loved was gone. He shed sad tears.

Sad words are engraved on every chocolate

The year after Bazaar got married, Leon left Luxembourg and went to the United States, where he found a job in a fancy restaurant. He is practical and honest, and his boss appreciates him very much, so he betrothed his daughter to him. A few years later, Leon moved to Chicago with his boss's family. In Chicago, Leon became a candy merchant again. As Leon could never forget Bazaar, his wife had to divorce him.

Since then, Leon has been running his candy store with his son alone. One day in 1946, Leon saw his son chasing a car selling ice cream. When he stopped his son, he was disappointed to tell him that there was delicious chocolate ice cream in that car. Leon's closed heart suddenly burst open. He hasn't made an ice cream since Bazaar left. This time Leon decided to continue the work that he had not finished for Bazaar. ?

after several months of careful research, an ice cream rich in cream and wrapped in mellow chocolate came out, engraved with four letters. The son naively asked Leon what the letters "DOVE" on the ice cream meant. Leon said softly, this is the name of ice cream.

At this moment, Leon unexpectedly received a letter from Luxembourg. Leon learned from the letter that Princess Bazaar had sent people back to China to inquire about him, hoping that he could visit her, but he was told that he had gone to the United States. What happened to Bazaar? Is she okay? Leon's heart seems to have returned to that year, still so urgent and eager.

After many hardships, Leon finally came to Belgium. Bazaar is not in the palace, but lives in a dilapidated villa in the suburbs. The servant who greeted him looked sad and Leon had an ominous premonition. Bazaar is old. She lies weakly in bed, and her eyes, which once rippled like clear waves, become gray. Leon threw himself at her bedside, and tears could not help falling on the back of her pale hand. Bazaar reached out and gently stroked Leon's hair, calling Leon's name in a voice that was almost too weak to be heard. ? Later, she told the whole story with difficulty.

It turns out that when she was in Luxembourg, Bazaar was deeply in love with Leon. She refused to get married by hunger strike, but after being sent to the palace for a month, she knew that she could not escape the fate of marriage, not to mention that Leon never said that she loved her, let alone made any promises. In those days, a woman had to pay a heavy price for breaking up with the whole family, and she had nowhere to go. She finally had to give in to her fate, but hoped to go back to the palace for afternoon tea before leaving Luxembourg, because she wanted to say goodbye to Leon there for the last time. She ate the chocolate ice cream he gave her, but didn't see the melted letters.

Hearing this, Leon broke down in tears, and the misunderstanding of the past was finally answered. But it's too late. Three days later, Bazaar passed away. Leon heard from the servant that since Bazaar got married, she has been depressed all day, leading to illness. She sent someone back to find Leon, and when she learned that he had left Luxembourg and got married in the United States, she could not afford to get sick.

Hearing this, Leon broke down in tears. If the hot chocolate on that ice cream hadn't melted, and if Bazaar understood his mind, would she change her mind and elope with him? He thinks it will. He began to regret his stupidity and negligence, why he wrote with hot chocolate on the ice cream. If the chocolate was solid, the words wouldn't melt and he wouldn't lose his last chance. Leon decided to make a solid chocolate so that it could be preserved for a longer time. ?

After careful preparation, the unique DOVE chocolate is finally made, and the four letters "Dove" are firmly engraved on each chocolate, so that Leon can commemorate his missed love with Bazaar. Although it is bitter and sweet, it is sad and moving, just like the smell of dove.

Today, Dove chocolate has dozens of flavors, and every kind of love can be interpreted and pinned in this chocolate kingdom. More and more people all over the world fall in love with dove, who was born of love and evolved from ice cream. When lovers send Dove away, it means sending out the soft love question: DO YOU LOVE ME? That's also the founder reminding the world that there is a lover. If you love him or her, please let the lover know in time, and remember to love deeply and don't give up.
