Gentleman's Night Canteen

The opponent not only relied on Shangwei, who was not much inferior to Lanmeng, to prop up the upper part of the apron, but also because of his height, the string that should have been tied around Lanmeng's waist was now tied to the upper part of the opponent's hips. It was also tied.

You must know that although Lan Meng doesn't have too many flamboyant muscles at first glance, you can get a glimpse of his physical fitness from the forearm you know. If you take off your clothes, you can see the muscles like a cheetah, and The pectoral muscles are related to the strength of the upper body. As a chef, Lan Meng's upper body exercise is stronger than that of the lower body. Ordinary girls, such as "Mr. Kashiwagi Eri", will bow down when they see Lan Meng.

The apron made of dragon skin is softer than it looks. Compared with the original coolness of the other party but the curve of the body that is largely covered by the falling effect of the silk fabric, the other party looks even more exaggerated now.

But the other party didn't seem to notice it at all, and looked at Lan Meng expectantly after straightening out the somewhat congested chest.

"Mr. Store Manager... No, Lan Meng! Let's start!"

During the previous exchange, the two sides had already exchanged names. At this time, Lai Shalin, who was already familiar with Lan Meng, seemed to have decided to give up the honorifics she was not used to and call Lan Meng by his first name, but Lan Meng...

"Okay, Miss Lysaline, please separate the eggs first..."

Lan Meng maintained the honorific address as always, but Lai Shalin didn't seem very satisfied with it.

"I clearly said that I can call me Laisha sauce like everyone in the village~ Lan Meng is really serious."

The other party's "whispering complaints" was naturally heard by Lan Meng, but Lan Meng pretended not to know anything. After all, the other party belonged to Da Tiao. At this time, Lan Meng seems to have forgotten one thing, the girl in front of her is actually an adult.

At the beginning, Lan Meng tried to teach Lai Shalin her own cooking methods, but soon Lan Meng gave up, because it was too time-consuming to beat the eggs with the opponent's thin arms and legs, and even couldn't be sent at all, Lan Meng Then simply teach the other party to use the machine.

And this undoubtedly aroused Lysaline's curiosity.

Although, as she herself said, she is best at refining various 'alchemy materials' and 'medicines' or related things, but she also dabbles in 'alchemy equipment', after all, she occasionally needs to make parts.

The egg beater seems to Lan Meng to be an ordinary thing, but the other party thinks it is very interesting and very convenient. As far as she knows, everyone on the island basically beats eggs by hand. Although there are similar alchemy props, but Considering the price of alchemy props, it is obvious that ordinary people cannot afford them.

But Lanmeng looks so small, maybe it can reduce the cost?

In this way, everyone on the island should be able to use it, right?

Lysaline's talent in alchemy is far beyond ordinary people, and her skills are not as bad as she said. Even in a bustling city, she can be regarded as a qualified alchemist, but more importantly, At this time, she was only 17 years old, and she had only been exposed to alchemy for half a year.

But even if she is already a qualified alchemist, she still hasn't changed her character. She doesn't have much desire for power or money. As long as money is enough, power has no concept. The idea of ​​making money, but her first thought is to help everyone on the island.

From a certain point of view, it may be because of the other party's true character that everyone on the island loves it, and everyone shouted "Lesa sauce~" from the bottom of their hearts.

She is a girl who grew up surrounded by everyone's doting, that's why she looks so innocent, but it is also because of everyone's kindness that she has the heart of a child that most people don't have.

The two sides can be said to complement each other.

Lan Meng didn't know much about this, but found that the other party seemed to be interested in the egg beater, so he also said that he could give her some next time and let her take it apart to play with.

Lysa was naturally very pleasantly surprised by this, and she didn't think much about it as "advanced technology outside the island". She just patted her chest and said that she would definitely help Lan Meng find the "alchemy doll information" he wanted.

And Lan Meng also quickly signaled that the other party didn't need to do this, not only because the other party was too enthusiastic, but also because the waves on the leather apron following the movements of the other party's hands were really dazzling.

Looking at Lysa standing by the kitchen counter expectantly, I don't know why there is always a strange feeling.

Although Lysa is better at 'refining medicine' and 'refining materials' and has not specifically studied the knowledge related to 'puppets and dolls', but because of the overlap between the two, she also dabbles, and finally can give him It is still unknown how much help they will get. On the contrary, there is a certain overlap between the 'alchemy' technology mastered by the other party and his cooking. It can be said that Lan Meng has benefited a lot from just exchanging with each other.

If we use the analogy of drawing cards, it is probably that the main team has enough practice and suddenly has resources and meets the pool of the entertainment team and wants to draw a round, and then finds that the main team of the entertainment team has not been drawn, but the members of the main team are crooked. And it seems that entertainment team can also use it.

Simply put, it is... crooked, but not completely crooked.

Lysa was making the cake with a serious face, while Lan Meng stood behind her with her arms folded and gave her guidance at the right time.

When all the ingredients are processed, it comes to the most critical time of 'baking'. Compared with the completely traceable ingredients processing, because they need to be placed in the oven during baking, only the top layer can be seen, so about the inside The heating situation is completely unknown, and it cannot be observed visually. The specific effect depends entirely on the craftsmanship of the maker.

Lan Meng didn't mind helping the other party, but Lysa said, "As an alchemist, I am also very good at seizing opportunities, not to mention that I can't let Lan Meng stand behind me every time, right?"So this time, the last step will be done by me alone, regardless of whether it fails or not, you will comment on Lanmeng for me when the time comes. '

Unlike the vast majority of alchemists who just follow the script, what Lysa likes most is to add some "small changes" to various alchemy formulas because of her own personality. This led to a shortage of funds for her, but also improved some old formulas and even created new ones.

It is this habit of not being afraid of failure, summing up experiences from failures, and a little bit of luck that made her come to where she is today in less than a year. This habit is undoubtedly also used in cooking.

At this time, Lan Meng has even begun to look forward to what the cake made by the other party will taste like in the end...

Chapter 28 The Gathered Magicians

The production of 'Triple Cheesecake' can basically be divided into two stages. The first stage is to process the ingredients. Only when the ingredients are processed well can the natural layering be achieved during baking. The second stage is the timing of the baking. Grasp, add water at the right time to ensure the soft and tender taste at the bottom, and the end time to ensure that it will not be roasted.

With Lan Meng's help in the first stage, there were basically no major problems, at least he was qualified, but in the second stage, under Lysa's request, he was completely on his own.

Because she wanted her first time to be a happy ending, Lysa squatted next to the oven and stared at the inside of the oven.

Seeing that the back of the apron that was originally closed when the opponent squatted was stretched open, the powerful impact tested Lan Meng's sanity even more. Lan Meng said decisively that he took a small chair for the opponent.

Lysa also said at the beginning that she is not so delicate and unnecessary, she is quite confident in her body.

After listening to the other party's words, Lan Meng was completely silent. He also felt that it was okay for the other party to have confidence in his body, but the problem was...he didn't have confidence in his own reason.

Because of the "Gate of Destiny's Food", Lan Meng has received more than a hundred ordinary guests during this period, and there are also many regular customers. Among them, they are not inferior to Lysa in terms of appearance, figure, or personality, and are even better than the other party. There are also some, but the problem is that they seldom make intimate moves towards Lan Meng.

But what about the other side?

Not only did he have no defense against him when he first met him, as if he had no vigilance at all, but at the same time he happened to be in his strike zone, so...

When Lysa was about to continue squatting down to observe the oven, she found that Lan Meng suddenly clasped her shoulders.

Looking at Lan Meng's serious eyes, feeling the strength of the palms on her shoulders and the constant breath of the opposite sex, Lysa also seemed to feel something was wrong, her eyes were a little erratic.

"Lysa!"

"Ah! Here!!"

Suddenly Lan Meng called her name, which made Lysa respond unconsciously, but then she looked at Lan Meng nervously, and at this moment Lan Meng finally spoke.

"I think it's better for you to sit down and just treat it as helping me."

Although I don't know what Lan Meng's words mean, but because Lan Meng's expression is too serious, and she also wants to get rid of the awkward atmosphere in front of her, she finally chooses to agree.

When Lysa sat on the small chair that Lan Meng gave her, her nervous heart finally returned to normal.

At the same time, he couldn't help thinking about the meaning of what Lan Meng said just now. Could it be that he really just hoped that he would not be tired?

Although it always feels like there is something unreasonable, but right now this seems to be the only reason she can think of, and it seems that it can only be regarded as this.

Fortunately, Lysa, who was already big-hearted, quickly shifted her attention from Lan Meng to the oven in front of her after Lan Meng had no other movements.

Sitting on the small chair, Lysa sniffed the constant milky aroma from the oven, her expression suddenly turned full of anticipation.

On the other side, Lan Meng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Lysa turning her attention to the oven again, after all, the other party was really defenseless.

Lan Meng was really curious about what kind of environment the other party grew up in.

But just as he was thinking, a pleasant wind chime sounded suddenly.

"Ding~"

Accompanied by the melodious sound of wind chimes, Lan Meng knew that there was a guest coming, and Lisa Lin, who reacted, also said that she would stay in the kitchen and watch, so that Lan Meng didn't have to worry about the safety of the kitchen. He hurriedly walked towards the store, but when he returned to the store, he was stunned because he saw a person who surprised him.

"Mr. Kiritsugu? Long time no see!"

"Boss, I'm sorry."

Emiya Kiritsugu always liked to frown, but when he saw Ramu, he still managed to squeeze out a smile.

This is not only because of Lan Meng's overly mysterious identity, but also because he does feel 'goodwill' from Lan Meng.

Although it is called the "Magician Killer" by countless magicians who are disgusted or feared, in fact, Emiya Kiritsugu's combat effectiveness is not too extraordinary. His real strength lies in his "fighting style".

Unlike those rotten guys who stick to the 'tradition of magicians', Emiya Kiritsugu is good at using firearms. In his opinion, after a battle with the target and finally exhausted, using magic to understand the target's life is far less than a shot in the head from 800 meters away. He is very straightforward, when he assassinates the target, he basically keeps or does not show his face, once he shows up, it means the death of the target.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to intelligence. In his opinion, the battle among modern magicians is no longer limited to pure strength in the past, and the proportion of intelligence is getting higher and higher. He has a blood relationship, and he may even be his father, brother or disciple, and he has learned a lot of information about the 'Holy Grail War'.

Afterwards, although some of the information was too secretive for him to confirm, the confirmed information benefited him a lot.

In order to continue to obtain information from Emiya Shiro, he specially left a letter here for Lan Meng to ask Lan Meng to help deliver it to Emiya Shiro and make an appointment with the other party on a day to meet again.

Looking at Lan Meng's unexpected reaction now, it should be that he didn't read his letter.

So out of respect for Lan Meng, the mysterious boss, or out of gratitude to Lan Meng for helping him convey information, he felt that he should express some kindness.

After Lan Meng was stunned for a moment, she also showed an expression of enlightenment in an instant.

"Mr. Kiritsugu, did you meet Shirou in the shop as much as possible?"

"That's right, store manager, please bring me a glass of juice, I may have to wait a while."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't hide anything about Lan Meng's question, but Lan Meng nodded and poured a glass of 'Guan Suzu Juice' for him... Of course, it was a diluted version.

A cold-blooded killer sitting in a restaurant drinking juice may seem subtle, but in fact Emiya Kiritsugu seldom drinks alcohol and likes to smoke, but today he has no intention of touching the cigarette case at all.

Although he has a strong dependence on nicotine due to personal reasons, considering that the smell of smoke may attract the attention of the target, and alcohol may paralyze the nerves, so he will drink alcohol only in relatively stable situations, and as for cigarettes, he will drink when he is not working. He only smokes when he is in a good state. As for today, it's not because of the task, it's purely because Lan Meng's shop seems to have no 'smoking area', so he gave up smoking very consciously.

But Lan Meng poured two glasses of juice directly, as for the reason—————

"Ding~~"

Just as the juice was served, the bell rang again. A man with silver hair, dark skin and a white turban on his head pushed the door open...

Chapter 29 Goodbye

Emiya Shirou's reaction was almost exactly the same as Emiya Kiritsugu's.

The person who pushed the door of the store glanced around and found that there were no extra people in the store, and then walked slowly into the store, but did not close the door immediately, until he saw Ramu and Emiya Kiritsugu on the other side, he was tense. His expression gradually returned to normal, but he gave Lan Meng a 'sorry' look.

But this can’t be blamed on him. As a magician, when he found out that “learning magic can’t save the world”, he simply started his life as a free mercenary now wandering around and occasionally helping the locals resist foreign invaders. Just before he came, he had just helped the locals take down an invader's supply station, so it's not surprising that he was nervous.

However, unlike Emiya Shirou, Emiya Kiritsugu simply felt that Aimu was mysterious and was grateful for Aimu's help in conveying the information, so he simply expressed kindness, but Emiya Shirou suspected that Aimu might be a "magic" Make', so the attitude towards Lan Meng is more humble and friendly.

The reason why he showed a 'sorry' expression was to tell Lan Meng that he was not so vigilant because he didn't trust him.

It's a pity that Lan Meng didn't care about these things, and naturally didn't think much about it, but felt that Emiya Shirou seemed a little strange today, but Emiya Kiritsugu smelled a familiar smell from Emiya Shirou——— - The smell of war.

But he didn't ask any more questions, he just picked up the juice that Lan Meng had poured for him and gestured towards him, and Emiya Shirou also walked over very naturally and picked up the juice from the side.

The two raised their cups to each other and took a sip, and they stopped talking nonsense and directly talked about the business. As for Lan Meng, after telling the two of them that they had something to call, they went back to the kitchen silently.

The two did not refuse Lan Meng's kindness, after all, the next thing they talked about had a lot to do with it.

Emiya Kiritsugu specially invited Emiya Shirou to the restaurant, of course not because all his relatives died and wanted to have a family gathering with him, but because he encountered some difficulties in the information he collected recently.

The special magic ceremony of the 'Holy Grail War', when he deliberately collected information, he also collected some information, which naturally included the creator of this magic ceremony. The family has been completely destroyed by Emiya Shiro.

From Emiya Kiritsugu's point of view, since Emiya Shirou destroyed the Matou family without saying a word, he might know some inside information, so he hopes to consult the other party.

Emiya Shiro originally hoped to be able to reveal more about the "future" to his "father", but the last time he considered his "father"'s helpless suspicion, so he deliberately only said a few things, and it was no surprise that the other party After discovering that the information is accurate, he will definitely continue to look for him, and today he was invited.

Emiya Shirou didn't have the slightest intention of showing off, and after Emiya Kiritsugu asked, he revealed all the information he had.

He still understands the 'Holy Grail War' quite well. After all, he and Rin destroyed the magic foundation of the 'Holy Grail War Magic Ceremony' in Fuyuki City. I went to Dongmu, and met Rin again as expected.

After the two briefly recounted the past, he asked each other for some information.

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, Rin Tohsaka finally chose to hand over the information to the other party out of trust in the other party.

It's not because of personal emotions. In fact, if it was because of personal emotions, she might directly slap the other party. After so many years, she came to find herself and asked herself for information. Is she treating herself as a tool?

The reason why she gave the information to the other party was because she knew that the other party was a person who really cared about the common people, otherwise the other party would not have left her in the first place.

And Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned when he saw the materials compiled into a book by Emiya Shirou, although he really hoped to get the materials from Emiya Shirou, but this is... too much, right?

But he still looked at it seriously.

Although he and Emiya Shirou have established a preliminary trust, it is only preliminary, and he needs to identify the specific information by himself.

Then Emiya Shirou stared at a strange gem in a daze, while Emiya Kiritsugu was frowning looking at a manuscript.

Although he only read the first part, his expression was ugly enough, because according to the records, the magic ceremony of the so-called 'Holy Grail War' was impossible to fulfill his wish. The ritual goes to the root.

But this is not what he wants, what he wants is to accomplish 'world peace' through magic rituals.

The method he finally found was directly declared a failure, Emiya Kiritsugu almost instinctively reached for the cigarette case in his pocket, but just as he took it out, he was directly pressed on the table.

"?"

"Smoking is bad for your health."

If ordinary people dared to do this, Emiya Kiritsugu might have already stuffed his 'big baby' into the opponent's mouth, but seeing Emiya Shirou with a serious face who seemed to be his elder, he could only pretend not to care He said 'O' and obediently put away the cigarette case.

Seeing this, Shirou Emiya nodded in satisfaction.

Although it's not polite to his 'father' like this, considering Lan Meng's intentional concealment of 'time and space', it's unlikely that the other party will know his identity, so it's not a big problem.

After all, if Emiya Kiritsugu would not survive the side effects of smoking at all according to the original schedule, it doesn't matter if he smokes or not, but now the timeline has completely changed, the Matou family has been completely wiped out by him, and Matou Zouken That disgusting old bug was directly crushed to death by him in the 'inherent enchantment'.

Now neither I, Rin, Sakura nor Illya sister is born yet, but the Matou family that originally constituted an extremely important part of the Fourth Holy Grail War has completely disappeared, and my father has already known in advance' The cause and effect of the Holy Grail War, then the opponent should not be polluted by the 'black mud' anymore, and should be able to live longer.

Thinking of this, he seemed to feel a little happier, but at this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly put down the documents in his hand.

"Shirou... Your Excellency, thank you for your information, but can I ask a question?"

"If I can answer, I won't hide it."

"You probably didn't get this information from Matou's house, did you?"

Although Emiya Kiritsugu's intuition told him that there was no problem with this document, he still couldn't help but want to confirm it again, but Emiya Shirou fell silent when faced with the other party's question...
