Gentleman's Night Canteen

As for why there are two other people on a date with his wife?

One of them is a child he adopted after receiving the mission, and the other is a very small number of people who know his true identity, and he is an intelligence support staff when he works.

The two seemed to be very concerned about their dating and followed up secretly. He chose to ignore it in order not to show the difference from the 'ordinary citizen' and attract unnecessary attention.

It's just that his daughter seemed too lively, and she showed up after they left the restaurant, and he decided to take his wife and her to the amusement park after he found that his wife was in a better mood.

As for his companion?

The other party followed them all the time, so he didn't say much at all.

After all, the two seem to be distant relatives.

And after playing in the amusement park for a while, he took his family to prepare to go home, but maybe because he had exhausted too much energy in the amusement park, his daughter kept touching her stomach, considering his wife's anxious kitchen Yi, he wanted to save trouble, so he simply took them to find a small street shop to solve the problem.

It's just that when they pushed open the door of that store, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Can't tell, just pure intuition.

But as an agent who has danced on the death knife countless times and had a perfect curtain call, he will never ignore his instincts.

It's special here!

As an agent, he tends to deal with all unstable factors almost instinctively.

The first step in dealing with it is naturally to understand, he took the initiative to greet and shake hands with Lan Meng.

It seems to be just a very normal social behavior, but in fact it can get a lot of information, such as the most obvious "gun cocoon", although it can be removed through some special methods, it is still somewhat different from ordinary people, but it surprised him The calluses were felt on the palms and pads of Lanmeng's fingers, but this location is more likely to be from touching cold weapons.

Combined with Lan Meng's identity, this is not a flaw.

The handshake time has been close to 2 seconds, which is not a short time for a stranger. He took the palm out of Lan Meng's hand and started to order food, and at the same time looked at Lan Meng from the corner of his eyes from time to time. dream, and then he discovered a strange thing.

Lan Meng's eyes seemed to be watching behind her.

Until then he discovered a strange thing, Ania, who was usually full of energy, seemed too quiet today.

'Are you tired? '

The speculation of 'Twilight' is not unreasonable, but it's a pity that the real reason is 'fear'.

Just like "Twilight" adopted Ania to hide her identity for the task, Ania is not an ordinary person, but a superpower. She has the ability to hear the voices of others within a certain range. But what surprised her was that she couldn't hear Lan Meng's voice at all.

At first she thought she had made a mistake, but after careful observation, she found that her abilities were useless, and she even found that Lan Meng was peeking at her.

Immediately, the plot in the cartoon that I watched during the day appeared in Ania's mind.

The protagonist in the cartoon is a righteous agent who is constantly fighting against the evil E organization in order to save the world. However, in today's new episode, the evil E organization has created a monster with evil power through evil experiments in order to fight against the powerful protagonist. A cyborg who restrains pig feet.

'Could it be said that this man is a 'reformer for Arnia' developed by that organization? ! '

Although she has had many unfortunate memories because of her own abilities, it has long become a habit for Ania to use her abilities to touch everything around her. Now a man who makes her abilities invalid suddenly appears, her fear... Or rather bewildered.

What's more, Lan Meng's behavior of looking at her from time to time made her extremely concerned.

Even Ania noticed Lan Meng's gaze, and 'Twilight' naturally noticed Lan Meng's strange expression, and he couldn't help asking.

"Oh! I almost forgot to introduce, Mr. Store Manager, this is my wife, this is my friend, and this is my daughter Ania, who is usually very polite, but today it seems that because of the previous trip Paradise had a lot of fun, so I was a little tired, just now I saw you have been looking at her, is there anything wrong?"

As an agent, 'Twilight' calmly brought the topic to Arnia by introducing his family members.

Before adopting Ania, he had investigated the other party, but in his impression, the strong man in front of him should not be included in the other party's information.

Whether it's because of his own intuition or because of his mission, he has to figure it all out.

What surprised him was that his words did make Lan Meng show an embarrassed expression, but what Lan Meng said surprised him even more.

"No, there's nothing wrong, I just feel that your daughter is a bit like my sister..."

'Click' X4

Almost everyone present at the scene trembled unconsciously the moment Lan Meng spoke.

'What the hell? !Could this man be from Ania's family?In the records of the orphanage, the other party obviously has no family members... No, it is also possible, because the information about the other party can only be seen a year ago, and the information before that is completely blank. An orphan but she has no memory of her family, it's not impossible...'

As a spy, Twilight immediately thought of his mission, and at the same time became nervous unconsciously. After all, thanks to his efforts in many ways, Ania had successfully enrolled and the mission was on track. He was very worried about unnecessary twists and turns. .

It's just that he didn't even notice that apart from rational thinking, there was also a couple of emotional resistances in the tension.

Maybe he didn't even notice that, in the constant getting along with him, he had already regarded Ania as his real family.

It's not just 'Twilight' who is nervous, the 'Frankie' with messy hair is even more obvious. After all, 'Twilight' commissioned him to investigate Arnia's information, but unfortunately he didn't find Arnie at all. Asia's intelligence and even sighting reports from a year ago.

'Could it be that my intelligence gathering was wrong? ! '

Different from the two men who had special thoughts at first, Joel on the other side showed an inexplicable expression. After all, when she married Dusk, she was conveniently told that Arnia was the daughter of herself and her ex-wife.

Although most women would not like the children of their husband's ex-wife, the good news is that Joel is not an ordinary person. She is even at a loss as to how to be a "wife".

Hearing Lan Meng's words at this time, she just showed doubts on her face.

'Is there a mistake? '

It looks a little cute, but from a certain point of view, this is probably the so-called great wisdom and foolishness, right?

But everyone's reaction is not as exaggerated as Arnia's reaction to you.

The other party's wide-eyed and long mouth looks like a strange emoji...

Chapter 23 Photo with 'Family'

The things in the minds of the four people in front of them are almost parallel lines that do not intersect at all, but except for 'Twilight' who is good at controlling his emotions, the expressions of the other three people are all clear at a glance.

Unlike Ania, Lan Meng naturally didn't have the ability to read minds, but based on the expressions of the people in front of him, he clearly realized that they might have misunderstood something, and quickly opened his mouth to explain.

"Sorry, what I just said may not be specific enough. I feel that your daughter is a bit like my sister, and they are very energetic."

While talking, he pointed to the far wall, where a group photo hung.

Following Lan Meng's fingers, everyone couldn't help looking over.

The group photo is larger than imagined. There are roughly a hundred people in the photo. One of them is a white-haired old man sitting in the middle of the photo with a smile on his face, surrounded by more than a dozen children, who are smiling It seems very intimate with the old man.

Beside the old man and the child stood a dozen or so middle-aged people. They were dressed in different clothes, some in white coats, some in police uniforms, some in military uniforms, and of course the most were ordinary people in normal clothes.

The closer to the periphery of the photo, the younger the younger. Among them, in the lower right corner, "Twilight" saw a young man who was [-]% similar to Lan Meng.

The reason why it is only [-]% is because the young man in the photo is younger than Lan Meng in front of him, and his figure is also more 'slender'.

If it weren't for this person in the photo who was somewhat similar to Lan Meng, he probably wouldn't be able to connect the two. After all, Lan Meng in the photo gave people the feeling of a "young boy", while Lan Meng in front of him Not only become more mature, but also stronger.

While shorthanding everyone's appearance in his mind and preparing to go back and check Lanmeng's situation, the other party couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Store Manager, your family is really prosperous."

Faced with the other party's praise, Lan Meng also smiled very happily.

"Yes~"

When I returned to the welfare home before, Lan Meng also packed some of her things and brought them back to the restaurant. This photo is one of Lan Meng's most precious treasures. As for the other party who mistakenly thought that this group photo was a family photo, Lan Meng did not. Explain, because in his opinion these people are his most important family members.

Although he has no parents, he has a grandma who takes care of him, as well as countless brothers and sisters who care about him, as well as a group of lovely younger brothers and sisters. Is there anything he can't be satisfied with?

While Dusk, Joel, and even Frankie were all sighing at this photo, Arnia, who was hiding behind Dusk on the other side, discovered the 'secret' earlier than her adoptive father.

Her intuition told him that the people in this photo should not be related by blood, but it gave her a very 'familiar' feeling.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be somewhat similar to how she felt when she was in the orphanage, but she was a little afraid to confirm it because of the smiles on the photos. After all, in her impression, the atmosphere in the orphanage was always extremely depressing, whether it was the staff or The children were lifeless, as if they had no hope for the future.

Ania, who was a little afraid of "chasing and killing her own reformer", looked at Lan Meng's undisguised proud expression, and her expression struggled for a moment, and then she saw Ania bit her lip, and finally looked like After making up his mind, he usually crossed his father and came to Lan Meng and tugged at Lan Meng's trousers.

"That... my name is Ania."

Lan Meng, who was chatting with 'Twilight' at first, was taken aback when faced with Ania who suddenly stopped resisting him and greeted him instead, and then knelt down and patted the other person's head.

"Hi, you can call me Blue Dream~"

Lan Meng's skilled head touching made Ania squint her eyes in enjoyment, but then she suddenly realized that it wasn't her parents who were touching her head, so she hid behind Joel shyly.

Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help showing a knowing smile.

Lan Meng, who was smiling with his aunt, watched Ania hide behind his father before he stood up. It was obvious that the greetings were almost over, but he still planned to confirm before cooking started.

"Several guests, do you have any preferences or dislikes about cooking?"

Faced with Lan, he reconfirmed, this time 'Twilight' didn't say anything casual, and he spoke again after deliberating.

"Please give me and my wife a sandwich and a drink."

Although sandwiches are a very common food, it is precisely because of this that sandwiches in various countries and even regions always have some subtle differences. Perhaps this difference can help him confirm Lanmeng's identity, and at the same time it will not Giving away your identity by ordering some special dish.

It may seem like nonsense, but if an 'ordinary person' in China orders kimchi every time he goes to a restaurant, then most normal people will have doubts about his identity.

Even in the face of such trivial matters, 'Twilight' is still meticulous and watertight!

As for Joel, who didn't care about it on the other side, he made an unsurprising request without even thinking about it.

"My words will be the same as Mr. him."

Compared to the reaction of the husband and wife, Arnia's eyes lit up on the other side.

"Peanuts! Peanuts!! I like peanuts the most!!"

Seeing Ania's excited expression, the smile on Lan Meng's face couldn't help but brightened by two points. It was obvious that he didn't hate this kind of energetic child.

Smiling and assuring the other party that he would try his best to make dishes that satisfy the other party, he nodded to everyone before returning to the kitchen.

According to the previous communication, it is obvious that several guests choose a "light diet". Simply put, they have to supplement food for various reasons, but they don't want to eat too much and increase the burden on the stomach. Consider There is nothing strange about the time until now.

As for the drink, since the other party said it was free, and at the same time indicated that Lan Meng didn't need the 'dumpling milk' that was completed before the wine, it was just for a few guests to taste it.

Having made a decision, Lan Meng started to act after returning to the kitchen.

The fermented dough is directly baked in the oven, and the peanuts are baked in the oven at the same time.

After a while, the bread and peanuts were processed together, but Lan Meng didn't immediately start making sandwiches, but processed the peanuts first.

After all, if the freshly baked bread is too hot, it is not suitable for making sandwiches directly, because the temperature will affect the taste of vegetables, making the originally refreshing vegetables soft, so it is just a good time to make peanut butter.

Gently rub the roasted peanuts, then remove the peanut skin on the surface, and then put the peanuts into the prepared container and mash.

This step can be said to be the most troublesome step in the whole peanut butter making process. It is not that it is too difficult, but it takes a lot of time.

Of course, the easier way is to smash it directly with a machine, but considering his 'ability', Lan Meng still prefers to make it by hand.

"Da~da~da~"

With the small wooden stick in his hand flying up and down, the crushed peanuts at the front end gradually became thinner and thinner. During this period, Lan Meng didn't forget to add some honey for seasoning.

After a few minutes, the peanuts that were originally one after another were combined and fused with the peanut oil and honey exuded under Lanmeng's crushing. The mixture of the two made the crushed peanuts gradually turn into a viscous khaki liquid.

The excellent ingredients make Lanmeng not even need to add additional vegetable oil, and only rely on the oil exuded from the inside of the peanut to complete this step.

The peanut butter made in this way is slightly less impactful than ordinary peanut butter in terms of taste, but it is precisely because of its original ecological material selection and production method that the peanut butter made in this way is also more delicate in taste. Like regular peanut butter, it can make you feel sick if you eat too much.

After the peanut butter was completely finished, Lan Meng decisively bottled it. It was obvious that the large pot of peanut butter in front of him could not be eaten for the time being. After he finished processing the peanut butter, the temperature of the bread on the other side also dropped to a suitable temperature.

It's just that the bread that Lan Meng baked this time seems to be different from usual, and the skin seems a little browned?

Could it be that it failed?

It's very simple, it's not like that, just watch Lan Meng take out the bread knife beside him very skillfully and gently lightly everything.

"click~"

Accompanied by the extremely crisp sound of the bread being cut open, a faint smell of wheat also permeated the kitchen...

Chapter 24 classic collocation

Compared with the slightly browned surface, the inside of the bread is white and fluffy.

In order to achieve this effect, Lanmeng did not use the commonly used water and butter when kneading the dough, but directly used warm milk and eggs plus some butter for fermentation.

The bread made in this way is not as porous as ordinary bread, but more 'dense', even if you tear it lightly, no bread crumbs will fall off, and the layers of milky white bread feel more like cotton.

In order to achieve this effect and considering the time limit, Lan Meng had to increase the temperature of the oven, and even gave up the side of the bread.

Put the cut bread on the chopping board, first spread a layer of lettuce, then brush a layer of tomato sauce, then put fried bacon, then put a piece of bread, then spread tomato slices, pickles And boiled corn kernels, and finally with some salad dressing and finally covered with a layer of bread.

A simple sandwich is complete.

Because of the influence of his own teacher, Lan Meng is now more and more inclined to be a "carnivore". After all, eating barbecue for breakfast every day is not used to it and he is forced to get used to it. But for ordinary people, pure meat with bread is not bad when they first eat it, but once If you eat too much, you will start to feel a little greasy. After all, not everyone has a strong digestion ability like Lanmeng.

Therefore, what is needed when making a sandwich is not to pile up delicious or favorite ingredients, but doing so will make the taste of the sandwich complicated or even strange.

A layer of meat and a layer of vegetables like Blue Dream is the simplest and most reasonable configuration.

Among them, the slightly sour pickled cucumber and tomato slices have an appetizing effect. As for the lettuce, it can absorb the gravy on the bacon to a certain extent.
