Gentleman's Night Canteen

After he finished speaking, he moved his palm away, and after Conan said "yes", he knelt on the chair, lay down on the table, and put his head to the mouth of the cup, and suddenly a special fragrance wafted slowly from the mouth of the cup .

It's hard for Conan to comment on the quality of red wine because he didn't actually taste it, but the aroma that is completely different from grape juice at least shows that this bottle of 'Sherry' has definitely been brewed for a long time.

In other words, he was really just thinking too much?

Conan sat back on the chair with some disappointment, seeing this Olga couldn't help but smile.

Children see that adults like to drink, so they often have an unrealistic delusion about alcohol. In fact, most people don't like alcohol. This child is probably a little disappointed, right?

But he didn't intend to comfort the other party. After all, alcohol is not a good thing. I hope this kid won't like it when he grows up.

After sighing in her heart, Olga turned her attention to the food in front of her.

The purpose of coming to Earth this time is to pay homage to his comrades-in-arms, but he also has some other tasks, such as simple communication with certain financial groups. Crescent Moon, who hates this kind of social interaction, separated near the cemetery, and Olga When I felt that my destination was near, I felt a little hungry, so I found Lanmeng's shop.

As for why not wait?After all, someone will definitely invite him to dinner later.

The reason is simple, there will be hospitality for sure, but those delicate foods look really good, but they can't feed the stomach of Olga, an iron-blooded soldier, and in order to improve the image of 'Tekkadan' he also Begin to learn some social etiquette, among which don't worry about eating when attending a banquet is the most basic.

If you don't eat now, you will probably be hungry until the afternoon.

While thinking about the boring banquet that will probably be boring later, Olga picked up a piece of tempura and put it in her mouth.

"click~"

There was a crisp sound of teeth clenching, and then he encountered an obstacle, but he bit it off without hesitation, and the unique fresh and sweet taste of fresh shrimp burst out between his lips and teeth.

Olga couldn't help but be amazed, the fried food's unique 'crispy' but not greasy at all, undoubtedly satisfied him very much.

Perhaps because she didn't need to worry about her image, Olga boldly threw the remaining fried shrimp into her mouth and began to chew together.

"Crack~Crack~"

A shrimp tempura that is about the size of a child's palm is just the size of a bite for the other party.

Not only fresh shrimp tempura, but also vegetable tempura? Mushroom tempura also satisfied him, especially considering personal taste, Lan Meng also put a small seasoning plate on the side, sprinkled Add some grains of salt, and the taste becomes stronger and more in line with Olga's taste.

You must know that even in the cosmic era, there are more or less problems in the transportation of various materials, and as the grassroots of the mercenary regiment or the Olga at the bottom, their food and other aspects are still not as good as other mercenaries who are the main force. Salt and sugar are commonplace.

This also led to the fact that after the establishment of "Tekkadan" for the first time, everyone actually behaved more exaggeratedly than the other after having a good meal. Thinking about the scene at that time, Olga unconsciously wanted to laugh, after all, only that Sometimes they seem to be a real child and not a "boy soldier" who is regarded as a "consumable item" by others.

As the leader of Tekkadan, his reputation is not bad on Mars and Earth, and occasionally he even meets people who want to join Tekkadan. It's a pity that most of the new recruits only saw their past achievements and ignored them. He didn't know why they were fighting, and even some of the children who sneaked away from home looked at him and Sanriyue with admiration on their faces, expressing their hope that they could fight side by side with them.

Whenever this is his mood is very complicated.

I want to improve Tekkadan's strength, but I don't want such children to join.

After all, his wish is to create a world where children don't need to worry about war, so in the end, in most cases, he politely declines.

However, apart from these innocent children, there are also many adults, and most of them are professional mercenaries.

Because Tekkadan's development speed far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people, and there are still "star figures" such as Olga and Crescent Moon, many mercenaries join for development or survival. After some assessments, they also became part of Tekkadan, and some of them gradually became the backbone of Tekkadan.

But other than that, there were some guys who made Olga frowned unconsciously. The reason for these people joining was even simpler——money!

Faced with this kind of guy, Olga mostly directly and sternly refused.

But in addition, there will be some people who make him novel and complicated, different from ignorant children, and different from battle-tested veterans, those enthusiastic young people with hope for the battlefield and military exploits make Olga feel a little bit at a loss.

For them Olga will often choose to accept, but will try to teach them one thing.

The cruelty of war.

Some of them understood his wish and chose to stay and become his new companions, but there were also some who could not bear the cruelty of war and chose to leave voluntarily.

Olga never obstructed this, and even silently blessed her.

Just thinking of the word 'partner', the chopsticks in his hand slowed down subconsciously, but for some reason, his thoughts seemed to return to a few years ago...

Chapter 7 The victim is... Olga? !

The battle more than half a year ago can be said to be the famous battle of "Tekkadan". Of course, this is only limited to some military fans. The reason why Olga, the soul of Tekkadan, dared to run around just wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Because maybe a lot of people have heard the name 'Olga' but most of them don't know what he looks like...even though he does have an iconic look.

And whenever those military fans mentioned that battle, they would always analyze the details of the previous battle with relish, and then tell others how incredible the victory of that battle was, and how Tekkadan was after that battle. What an important role it played.

Some people even sighed by the way, "It is because of Tekkadan's sacrifice that the battle was won."

But for Olga, who actually participated in that battle and acted as a commander, that "victory" was a wound in his heart that would never heal.

Because their Tekkadan sacrificed countless comrades in that battle, countless friends who had fought side by side with Tekkadan from the beginning of its establishment died in that battle, and many of them were even children.

Olga is not a born hero, and he used to be just a confused teenager, but the only difference from others is that he has enough awareness and the ability to practice awareness.

In order to protect those children who believed in him, he set off a rebellion. He led the children to defeat the adults who manipulated their lives and established the "Tekkadan". Huatuan' is not a simple military organization but their common home.

And Olga, the nominal leader, is actually the elder brother and father of all the children.

He protected the children, and the children trusted him.

They promised to 'laugh with everyone at the place where they will arrive'.

It is this bond that made them cross the desperate situation countless times and come to the present.

Those who trusted him trusted him as always and helped him complete the battle plan. They won the battle, but he didn't bring them all back as agreed.

Although he had been trying his best to control his emotions for the battle at that time, but afterwards when he was alone and didn't need to be the 'Tekkadan's leader', he really accepted the weakness of his own people for the first time.

The dishes made by Lan Meng are extremely delicious, and the perfect fusion of salty, fresh and sweet flavors has awakened his memories of celebrating with the children.

But the better the memory, the sadder it is when you wake up.

Thinking of the tombstone I saw in the cemetery not long ago, the illusion created by the delicious food also dissipated, and the "family" who used to be by my side also disappeared.

The banquet, which was a bit dilapidated but full of laughter and laughter, was gone, and it was replaced by a beautiful but very strange restaurant.

Only then did Olga realize that what she was in was not the dilapidated headquarters of Tekkadan, but just a small shop she visited for the first time.

The strong sense of gap made him fall silent unconsciously.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

I don't know if it was Olga's illusion, but the voice always felt a little familiar, and then he woke up suddenly.

Isn't this the voice of the little boy who had been talking to him just now?

Afterwards, he tried his best to get rid of his depressed mood and smiled instead,

"What's wrong, kid?"

Seeing Olga who turned her head away, Conan unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

This time he spoke to Olga not simply to harass her, but because he felt that something was wrong with her.

Conan was not surprised when he first saw Olga's slightly surprised expression. After all, although it was his first time to patronize Lanmeng's restaurant, he also tried Lanmeng's snacks under the light of Dr. Ali.

In fact, after sending Hui Yuanai to Dr. Ali's house, Lan Meng visited him three times, and brought snacks each time, but because Conan was not at the doctor's house, he had never met Lan Meng, but about Lan Meng He still knows the craft.

But then the change in Olga's expression made him feel a little strange.

At the beginning, because of the surprise expression when tasting the food and the fact that he unconsciously closed his eyes to enjoy the food, in Conan's view, it can be understood that Lan Meng's cooking is better this time, and it can also be understood that the other party has not eaten anything Good things, at least all belong to the scope he can understand.

But when he saw Olga's expression began to become painful, he finally couldn't help but remind her.

Because he suspected that the other party might have been poisoned!

Although it seems a little incomprehensible for ordinary people to wonder if a stranger has been poisoned when they see such an expression, they can’t blame Conan. When the weather is calm, it is inevitable to think wildly.

But the good news is that Olga still responded to him after a brief pause and her expression became normal. This at least shows that the other party was not poisoned, and he didn't need to come to the scene to choose one of the three.

But since there was no problem, he was even more curious.

Why did Olga's expression become so strange?

Conan or Shinichi Kudo, who are extremely active but whose integrity seems to shrink as they get smaller, decisively used their increasingly proficient coquettish skills recently.

"Uncle, can I try your tempura? It looks delicious just now... Ah! By the way, I can exchange it with you for biscuits!"

Conan acted like a baby while pretending to be a little adult who wants to exchange food with the other party, fully showing the image of a gluttonous but sensible child.

Seeing Conan's proficient coquettish and acting skills, Haibara Ai, who was sitting next to Rysa, couldn't help showing a disgusted expression.

After all, although she has done similar things to the other party, but at the beginning it was to win Lan Meng's favor, and it was more of a means of survival, but the other party obviously did not know how many times she had done it.

And more importantly———————

Haibara couldn't help but cast a glance at Ryza who was also looking at Conan and said to herself, "What a child".

Although she didn't know the reason herself, she couldn't help but resist pretending to be a child, and instead tried to put on a 'mature' posture.

Haibara Ai's effort was not in vain, and Lysa saw it, but the other party just touched her head and said, "Xiao Ai is really a mature girl", and there seemed to be no response other than that.

This immediately made Hui Yuan Ai feel that it was very subtle to hit the cotton with a fist...

Chapter 8 Conan at a loss

Relying on his identity as a child, Conan successfully completed the "food exchange" with Olga, but he wasn't really reckless. Before eating, he wrinkled his nose and sniffed to see if there was any strange smell , but it turns out that there is indeed no strange smell as he guessed. After all, the man in front of him can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. Since the other party has eaten most of it, at least it will not be too obviously abnormal.

Then I saw him grabbing the 'Mushroom Tempura' handed by Olga with his hand and biting it down.

'click~'

Conan, who bit off the mask with a crisp sound, suddenly fell into confusion.

Because he found that no matter how he tasted, there seemed to be nothing other than 'delicious'... What's going on?

Especially when he saw that Olga still had a sad and emotional expression on his face at this time, he instantly realized that perhaps it was not the food he ate that was abnormal but the other person himself.

From a certain point of view, Conan guessed right this time.

The cuisine made by Lanmeng is not an indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction. In fact, the emotions instilled by Lanmeng in making dishes do not resonate with all eaters.

For example, because of dealing with Bai Guo this time, he unconsciously recalled the bits and pieces of his time in the orphanage. Maybe he didn't deliberately use his abilities, but these memories about the 'children' are along his path. His hands penetrated into the cooking.

As a famous detective, Conan or Kudo Shinichi is used to seeing death, but his focus is more on solving puzzles. On the contrary, he lacks the most basic sense of awe because he has seen too much death. Heart, so this delicate emotion did not resonate with him.

So it's not Lanmeng's food that's the problem, but the person who eats it.

Just when Conan fell into the self-doubt of "Why can't I taste it", Lan Meng on the other side has already started to make desserts.

Xiao Ai hopes that Lan Meng can make some 'healthy food', and Lan Meng is also the first to think of the ginkgo fruit he got recently and decides to use it to make snacks.

I have to say that the smell of the ginkgo fruit is not pleasant, and even Mao Mao Beast quietly left the kitchen at some point.

But this is helpless, after all, the stinky outer testa of the ginkgo fruit represents its maturity. Fortunately, after all of them were disposed of, the smell in the kitchen finally returned to normal.

After heating in a pot, the skin of the ginkgo seeds has shown a special oily sheen, and then cut them open with a knife to take out the 'buds' inside.

Although ginkgo is a very common greening plant, it is actually toxic. However, the toxicity of the seeds is mainly concentrated on the buds, and the toxic substances inside are destroyed by high-temperature heating and can be eaten normally.

At this time, the ginkgo fruit actually smells bad and can be eaten directly, but since Lan Meng intends to make it into a snack, naturally he will not stop so simply.

It is first chopped into granules.

Ginkgo fruit itself is also bitter after being processed, but it is worthy of "bitter taste medicine". Ginkgo fruit with a bitter taste is not only rich in nutrition, but also has good medicinal value.

The processed dried ginkgo contains nearly 70% starch, 13% protein, and 3% fat. It is an important food source for many small animals in nature, and it is also considered to have the effect of protecting the heart and lungs in traditional Chinese medicine. For Dr. A Li is a good food choice for people who know that day and night are reversed at a glance and have an unhealthy diet.

Mince the yellow ginkgo fruit and soak it in honey. Although it can’t remove the bitterness, it can neutralize it to a certain extent, and the sweetness of the honey is more peaceful, and it won’t make you feel uncomfortable if you add too much like ordinary white sugar. Feel awkward.

When Lan Meng processed the ginkgo, the millet and glutinous rice steamed in the steamer on the other side were basically cooked.

Mix the steamed glutinous rice, millet, and broken ginkgo in a ratio of 10:5:1 and put it into the mold to cool.

The kitchen utensils in the store are quite special, so Lanmeng can be put in directly, but generally speaking, it is necessary to apply something to the inside of the mold so that it is easier to release the mold.

Put it into the unscientific refrigerator to accelerate cooling and take it out, and then a light yellow 'rice cake' was successfully completed.

After cutting it into several pieces with a knife, Lan Meng prepared a piece of milk for Dr. A Li and the others, and then returned to the restaurant with the dinner plate.

Unsurprisingly, he saw Olga sitting in the restaurant at a glance. After all, Lan Meng's height was not short, but Olga was taller, even if she was just sitting on the seat, it still made people look sideways.

Lan Meng went up to say hello to Olga after putting the snacks and milk on Dr. Ali's table.

"Sorry, guest, I didn't entertain you while I was cooking in the kitchen just now."

Facing Lan Meng's apology, Olga felt a little strange. After all, unlike Lan Meng, he didn't know that Lysa was not a staff member of the restaurant, but he quickly put it behind him, and turned to show a bit sad smile.

Although he felt a little empty after waking up from the dream, he had to admit that this memory made his tired heart firm again.

No matter what difficulties there are in front of him, no matter how much he hates communicating with those businessmen and politicians, it's all for his promise.
