Gentleman's Night Canteen

Connor, as always, relied on his status as a "kid" to take the lead... Even if this kid should be considered the oldest of the five judges in terms of age, but with the other's soft and cute appearance, everyone would not Just care.

The stewed tail meat does not even need to be forcefully just flicked with a fork to fall off the bone, dipped in the sauce and sent to the mouth, the sweet and sour sauce is matched with the soft and tender tail meat Immediately, Connor narrowed his eyes again.

Although Thor seems a little unreliable, her phrase "good at cooking tail meat" was not casual. She even noticed the special meat quality of the meat itself when decomposing the ingredients, so she chose Shell roasting is a cooking method that retains its characteristics to the greatest extent.

In contrast, Lan Meng is just the opposite. Although he is also good at controlling fire, he also knows that facing Thor, who can directly breathe fire, comparing himself with the opponent's barbecue is simply using his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, so he Simply choose a more conventional cooking method——a cooking method that uses various auxiliary materials to complement the ingredients.

Use various marinades to remove the fishy smell to the greatest extent during pickling, and retain its soft and tender taste to the greatest extent during cooking. The sweet and sour taste can improve the greasy taste to a certain extent...

Compared with Torna, who is more like pure showmanship and unconstrained style of cooking, the seemingly rough Lanmeng is more delicate in cooking.

The three foodies wiped out the food in front of them at a speed no less than before.

Compared to the haste of the three cooks, Xiao Lin soaked part of the rice in the soup.

The thick soup is paired with the slightly sweet rice after chewing. Even Kobayashi, who has eaten a lot of Thor's cooking, can't help but whet his appetite.

Compared with the four people who simply enjoyed the food, the head chef, who was teacher Lan Meng, was uncharacteristically chewing in small bites, and tried hard to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the food.

The time for frying and boiling the tail meat is just right, and the proper seasoning not only conceals the unique fishy smell of Tusalong tail meat, but also retains its soft and tender taste.

It can be seen that even if you don't learn from it, Lanmeng still hasn't relaxed the training on fire control, but the only thing that makes it a little puzzled is that Lanmeng's knife skills seem to grow a little abnormally, and the cut marks on the bones don't look like it no matter how you look at it. Blue dream can do it.

Originally, it thought that Blue Dream would use something like a wire saw to break down the ingredients...

Unlike ordinary diners who simply enjoy the food, the head chef who is Lan Meng’s teacher is not only eating, but also thinking, but Ta enjoys this process very much, because he can see Lan Meng’s growth from these small details.

Is there anything more satisfying for any teacher than seeing their students grow?

Only one serving of 'Red Wine Tomato Stewed Soil Shalong Tail Meat' was wiped out in less than 15 minutes, and even the three rice cookers each added one, three, and five servings until Lan Meng was wiped out. After eating all the prepared food, he stopped with a little regret.

Among them, the grand leader who seemed to be the most physically fit actually ate the least.

It's not that he eats less than Artoria who hasn't fully awakened the blood in his body, but because he knows that he will go to the camp for dinner later, and it's just a little 'filling the stomach' right now, so he just tasted it.

Compared with the head of the group who has strong self-control ability, the other two can be said to make no secret of their dry soul.

Al even felt a little regretful after discovering that the dishes prepared by Lanmeng had been eaten up. He regretted that if he could disregard his image like Connor, then the efficiency should be improved a lot, right?Maybe the two of them can be regarded as [-]-[-].

At this time, Thor never thought that Connor had actually eaten at the Lanmeng restaurant at noon and afternoon, and the cooking speed had actually slowed down a bit.

But even so, she and Connor couldn't help but resonate strongly when they looked at each other.

This is the resonance of foodies!

At the same time, the mentality of the young Connor is also quietly changing.

Connor actually didn't have too complicated ideas about humans. After all, she hadn't had much contact with humans before, and her views on humans basically came from other dragons and her own imagination.

But today, she was deeply shocked.

Whether it's Lan Meng who can make delicious dishes, or Guan Ling who can drink the "drink" that even she is afraid of while talking and laughing, or the grand leader who exudes a terrifying aura, even with her Artoria, who faintly resonated...

Maybe————human beings are not what they imagined?

Connor couldn't help but fell into deep thinking, but unfortunately she still couldn't figure out the answer.

Unlike some people who like to dig into dead ends, Connor, who couldn't figure out the answer, chose the simplest method.

Ask someone who, in her opinion, can explain her confusion.

Somewhat confused, she tugged Thor's skirt quietly, which stunned Thor, who was upright and staring at Kobayashi with a bewildered expression.

"Master Thor!"

"?"

"What are human beings like? Why...is it different from what you said, Mr. Thor?"

Thor was taken aback by Connor's innocent voice.

If the former Connor asked herself this way, her answer would be the same as before.

'Humans are a bunch of voracious bugs'

Because she was once attacked by humans, in her view, humans are a group of bastards who spy on her treasure and invade her territory, but in the end they blame everything on themselves.

She never shied away from what she had done, and she never declared how kind she was, but in her eyes, that group of human beings didn't even have the courage to admit what they had done. It's just bugs!

But the encounter with Kobayashi made her change her mind.

It's not that the three views she has established over the years are completely destroyed, but because she has gradually learned to distinguish people from others.

Among human beings, there are not only those bastards, but also kind beings, and there are even "special beings" like Kobayashi.

So at this time, she changed her previous attitude and rarely showed a gentle expression.

"Humans... are a group of complicated existences. Even I can't explain all of them. I know that the question you want to ask, Connor, should not be human beings. For me, 'Xiaolin' is a special existence. She is different from ordinary people. Humans are very different, but I'm sure you'll like her too, Connor, because... Kobayashi is a gentle person."

Seeing Thor's gentle smile, Connor didn't know how to react for a moment, because she had never seen Thor showing such an expression, but she liked it very much.

But why did Thor become like this?

Is it because of humans?

What about yourself?

Will I also meet my own 'special existence'?

Obviously at first she hoped to get an answer from Thor, but at this time she became more and more confused.

Perhaps because of the tacit understanding between the foodie and the chef, Lan Meng's gaze met Connor's confused eyes in the air, and he showed a warm smile like the sun.

For some reason, Connor felt as if these issues didn't matter anymore.

She didn't know her own answer, but...

she wants to try...

Chapter 24 On this day, young Connor grew up a lot...

Even she didn't know what was going on in Connor's heart, and Lan Meng naturally couldn't figure it out either. He just instinctively smiled at Connor because he noticed Connor's gaze.

But then Connor's reaction made him feel a little strange, because the other party was neither shy nor responded to him, but just looked at him silently.

Obviously the other party just looked at me without saying a word, but I don't know why Lan Meng always feels so stressed...

Fortunately, after Xiaolin finished the rice in front of him, all five judges finally put down their tableware.

Lan Meng's attention was also attracted by the next selection.

Except for Connor who has been staring at Lan Meng for some reason, the other four have different expressions, and they all seem to be thinking about something.

But the only thing in common is that they are all hesitant about the tableware in front of them.

Unlike Lan Meng who had no experience in the first "combat", everyone agreed on the judging criteria for the sparring with Thor before it started.

For example, if you think that Lan Meng's cooking is better, you can put the knife horizontally, and if you think Thor's cooking is better, you can put the fork horizontally.

But no matter how you think about it, the answer is finally given.

"Ding~"

With the sound of the first collision, everyone picked up the tableware and put them on the plate.

Both Lan Meng and Thor couldn't help but look at everyone intently.

And at this moment—————

"yeah!!"

Accompanied by Thor's excited voice, Lan Meng couldn't help being taken aback.

What happened, did he count wrong? !

Lan Meng couldn't help counting again.

That's right, there are indeed four table knives and a fork?

Or did I remember wrongly, the fork was me, and the knife was Thor?

In fact, it's not just Lan Meng who is a little confused, but the expressions of everyone except Thor seem to be a little subtle.

Even Merlin, who deliberately reduced his sense of presence because of Thor and the head of the group, couldn't help but look at Thor more.

Why does this dragon look so silly?

Why don't you fool yourself... Forget it, other people dare to fool you because he is confident that he won't be killed by those who fool you, but he really doesn't have the confidence to fight this female dragon.

slip away.

Among all the people who reacted the most was Kobayashi.

"Thor? Are you insane because you lost the game?"

Of course, Xiao Lin didn't say the second half of the sentence. After all, it sounded a bit hurtful, but the doubts in her heart were not fake.

Is Thor out of his mind?

Maybe, at least in the eyes of other dragons, Thor, who likes humans, or humans of the same sex, is somewhat abnormal, but the reason why she is so excited is not because of this, but because she has achieved her 'purpose'.

Is her goal just to win Lan Meng in the duel?

Indeed, this is one of her purposes.

But it's just one of them. Her ultimate goal is to defeat Lan Meng, the "rival in love", so as to stabilize her position in Xiao Lin's heart.

Although Lan Meng won the support of four judges including Connor, only Kobayashi voted for Thor.

As far as she is concerned, she cares more about Xiao Lin's choice than winning or losing the game. If Xiao Lin votes for Lan Meng, so what if she wins the competition?

She doesn't want to 'win the game, lose life'.

Of course, the most perfect option is that she won both the competition and Kobayashi's stomach. Now she only wins the stomach, so at least she scored 100 points out of 99, right?

So she ignored everyone's strange gazes, shouted 'Xiao Lin' and rushed towards them.

Normally, Kobayashi would definitely support the opponent's head with one hand to prevent the opponent from rubbing his face against his chest, but when he thinks that the opponent just lost the game, even if he lost to a professional chef... Forget it, let's take it as comforting the opponent today Bar.

In the end, Kobayashi did not push away the opponent's head, but touched the top of the opponent's head to show comfort.

At the beginning, Thor didn't understand why Thor changed his usual resistance and touched his head, but then when she saw Xiaolin's helpless but pitiful eyes, she cleverly asked I guessed the answer in an instant.

Could it be that Kobayashi is pitying me?

Pity me for losing to the competition?

I am a majestic dragon carrying the handle...

Forget it, being able to rub against Xiaolin, everything else is trivial.

Thor, who completely abandoned his integrity for Kobayashi, completely left behind his majesty as a dragon.

And Kobayashi didn't notice Thor's increasingly heavy breathing at the beginning, but when she noticed it was already too late, and Thor had completely hugged Kobayashi's waist at some point.

"Hey~ Kobayashi~hey~~"

"Thor!! What's wrong with you guy!! Let go!!"

Seeing Thor getting more and more aggressive, Kobayashi couldn't help becoming a little annoyed, but Connor's reaction was no less than hers.

"Spectacle pervert!! You're attacking Lord Thor again!!"

Speaking of which, Connor planned to rush forward to teach Xiaolin a lesson.

Although the energy supplemented by food is not much, at least it has upgraded her "children's combat power" to "primary school student's combat power", but at this moment, Connor's hands are from She stretched out her armpits and picked her up.

"Lanmeng? Come with me to save Master Thor!!"

I don't know whether it's because Lan Meng's cooking is too delicious, or it's simply because Connor has been tamed by Lan Meng. Connor, who was held by Lan Meng, didn't do anything, but instead invited Lan Meng to be with him. Group together brush 'spectacles satyr' this BOSS.

Seeing this, Lan Meng couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know the character of the little female dragon, she knew that to hug an angry little female cat casually, she had to be prepared for her face and hands to be scratched by her claws. .

At this time, Lan Meng couldn't help but sigh in her heart that "the favorability of foodies is so good", and at the same time, she didn't forget to explain.

"Calm down, Connor, take a closer look, Kobayashi is also a girl~"

Although Xiao Lin is older than Lan Meng, his rich life experience tells Lan Meng that as long as he is not more than two rounds older than himself, it is best to call him "sister". You can also consider it when you are two rounds older...

So he still uses 'girl' to call Kobayashi.

But Connor was completely stunned by Lan Meng's words.

"Little Lin? A girl?"

"That's right~"

Facing Connor who couldn't help but confirm it again, Lan Meng also gave an affirmative answer again.
