Gentleman's Night Canteen

"We're going with you."

"Okay, if you two don't dislike it."

Lan Meng didn't refuse Dagu's words.

Although Dagu and Xincheng said before that they were sending Lanmeng for a while, Lanmeng is not an idiot. Dagu’s vigilance against him before is still vivid in his memory. He is almost sure that the reason why the other party wants to send him should be surveillance, but Not wanting to conflict with local law enforcement... At least Lan Meng, who didn't want to cause conflict until the task was completed, decided not to say anything more.

Whether it is Xincheng who completed all the assessments and became a member of GUTS at the beginning, or Dagu who was promoted to a full-time member as an ordinary staff member, his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, especially after gaining the power of Tiga. It is much stronger than before.

But no matter how good their skills are, it is not a small test for the two of them to cross mountains and mountains.

Dagu is fine, but Xincheng has begun to wonder whether Lan Meng wants to use this barren mountain to get rid of himself and Dagu.

But just when he mustered all his strength and was about to turn over a rock, a hand suddenly stretched out from above.

Although Lan Meng was wearing a helmet and couldn't see his expression at this time, Xincheng still felt Lan Meng's doubts from Lan Meng's unconsciously tilted head, but fortunately, he quickly reacted and held Lan Meng's hands. Immediately afterwards, he felt a huge force coming from the direction of the arm, and he was pulled up directly without even kicking the ground.

The sudden feeling of his body hanging in the air made Xincheng tense his muscles almost instinctively.

But fortunately, with his rich experience in skydiving, he quickly adjusted, but at this moment his feet had already stepped on the ground.

Then Lan Meng stretched out his hand and pulled Dagu up.

"Okay, hurry up, time is running out."

After pulling the two up, Lan Meng didn't say much, but after reminding the two, he was ready to go again, but when he saw the hesitant expressions of Dagu and Xincheng, he couldn't help but wonder laugh.

"Although I don't know if the two ministers don't believe me, I am indeed just an ordinary chef. The reason why I am here is only for a guest. 'GUTS' is right, so let's go, two."

After speaking, Lan Meng took the lead and walked towards the destination again, and Xincheng and Dagu looked at each other, as if they could see their respective thoughts from the expressions of each other.

Although, as members of GUTS, it is impossible for them to believe what Lan Meng said because of Lan Meng's one-sided words, but it has to be said that what Lan Meng said and his attitude did make the two of them unconsciously develop a good impression.

The two had the same idea almost by coincidence.

'I hope everything the other party said is true...'

Although the three of them were still driving in silence, the atmosphere among the three of them eased a lot with Lan Meng's help, especially when Lan Meng slowed down to take care of the two of them, Lan Meng also picked some wild vegetables and wild vegetables along the way. fruit.

The wild vegetable Lanmeng will be put into the cloth pocket, maybe it will be used in the future, as for the edible wild berries, Lanmeng will push away the lower half of the helmet to eat some leftovers and hand them to Dagu and Xincheng.

At the beginning, the two of them didn't know whether they should eat the wild fruit that Lan Meng handed over. After all, even until now, the two of them couldn't confirm whether Lan Meng was an enemy or a friend. Ask about Lan Meng's identity, but Lan Meng is noncommittal about it.

But after Lan Meng pushed away the helmet and ate some wild fruits, the two also tasted some under Dagu's leadership.

Most of these unnamed wild fruits are a little sour, but they are more delicious than imagined.

It's just that the expressions of the people on the other end of the communicator are a little subtle.

Especially after the initial embarrassment, Xincheng occasionally exclaimed "it's delicious", which made other members of GHTS, including Ju Jianhui, even feel a little hungry when they heard the sound of Xincheng and Dagu's constant chewing.

At this time, Zongfang had already begun to regret letting Xincheng accompany Dagu on missions. This guy could just eat and express his thoughts.

What does this mean?

But after all, Zong Fang, who was concerned with the safety of his two subordinates, couldn't turn off the communicator because of his excessive saliva production, right?

At this moment, he could only secretly think about waiting for that boy from Xincheng to punish him for watching him eat when he crashed the plane next time, while swallowing secretly.

But fortunately, they won't have to suffer soon, because Lan Meng finally arrived at the destination.

On the top of an unnamed barren mountain, and there is a person standing there...

Chapter 47 'Sweet Dreams'

When Lan Meng saw the middle-aged man in the traditional Japanese chef uniform, he knew that he had found his target. After all, he was the only living person on this hill.

But what Lan Meng didn't expect was that when he was about to speak, Dagu and Xincheng who were following him reacted even more excitedly.

"Obik!!"

The two drew their guns and pointed at each other almost reflexively, but before Lan Meng could stop them, the middle-aged man pointed at by them, or Obike, turned towards them with a bright smile on his face. wave.

"Come on!! Come and see!! Our village is back!!!"

Obviously a middle-aged man who has experienced many vicissitudes, but when the other party waved towards Lan Meng and the others, the bright smile was as innocent as a child.

Lan Meng, who didn't know the opponent's reputation, was fine, but Xincheng and Dagu, who knew what the opponent had done before and had just played against each other once last night, had extremely weird expressions.

At the same time, the three of Zongkata, who were at the mouth of the well connected to the pot used by Obic, changed their expressions even more after hearing the shouts of Dako and Xincheng.

"Dagu! Xincheng! Don't exchange fire with Obic for now! Wait for us to come!!"

The original plan was to lock Obike's position by firing at the well, and then go to surround the opponent. Now that the opponent's position has been directly discovered, there is no need to attack again. Zongfang directly reminded Lina and Dujing Er with gestures. People get in the car immediately.

At this time, Zong Fang changed from his usual calmness. After the two got into the car, he stepped on the accelerator without even asking if they had fastened their seat belts.

As an 'all-terrain vehicle', the Drum car naturally does not have the terrifying speed of the Sherlock car on the normal road limit of 500 kilometers per hour, but accompanied by the roar of the engine like the roar of a wild beast, it is still moving towards it like an angry lion. They rushed in the direction of Dagu and Xincheng.

The strong push back made the entire face of Takui sitting on the co-pilot look Spartan.

But just as they were leaving, a figure appeared beside the well, looking at the distant mountain with a complicated expression.

Its expression has memories and thoughts, but more of it is an indescribable sadness, but in the end all of this turned into a sigh.

"Crack~"

With a soft sound, the original old man turned into a civet cat that was much larger than the same kind and burrowed into the direction of the bushes, and the position... happened to be the direction where the Durham car left.

Just as Zong Fang commanded one side to drive the Drum car towards Dagu and Xincheng at full speed, Lan Meng on the other side had already come to the other party's side amidst Obike's call.

On the other hand, Obike introduced everything in front of Lan Meng with excitement.

"Look!! That's the village! The place where we sometimes play pranks! And there! It's the field in the village. I remember that the taro planted by Sijing's family is very delicious! By the way, there is also the lotus field, it's this time! That's right! At this time, all the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers are simply the most beautiful scenery in the world!!"

The other party introduced Lan Meng excitedly, his proud expression was like a proud father introducing his son who just got full marks in the college entrance examination to a friend.

It's just that I don't know if it's Lan Meng's illusion. Obviously the other party has been looking at him, but Lan Meng feels that the person the other party's eyes are looking at is not himself.

At the same time, not only Lan Meng, but also Dagu and Xincheng came to each other's side after a moment of hesitation amid Obik's call.

It's just that following the direction pointed by the other party's finger, they only saw a small town that was completely silent.

There are neither villages, nor fields, nor ponds...

I don't know why looking at Obike with a bright smile on his face, even Xincheng, who has always had a tough attitude, couldn't help feeling a kind of sadness from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing the other party's self-deceiving bright smile, Xincheng couldn't help clenching his fists.

He is not a cruel person, and he doesn't want to destroy someone's dream, but he is very clear that a dream is a dream after all, and when he wakes up, it will only turn into a bigger emptiness and devour a person's heart.

"Obik! Your village..."

"!!!"

Before Xincheng could speak, a palm covered with steel stood in front of him, and what Xincheng had blurted out was suppressed in an instant. He looked puzzled...and even looked at Lan Dream.

But when he saw Lan Meng's extremely serious expression through Lan Meng's side face, he couldn't say what he wanted to say anymore, because he had realized that Lan Meng was not planning to continue to "deceive" the other party as he imagined , but have similar thoughts with myself.

But it was precisely because of this that he was even more puzzled, why did Lan Meng stop him?

Could it be that he didn't want to be this villain?

But at this moment, Lan Meng had already taken a step forward and walked towards Obike.

"Mr Obic."

"?"

Lan Meng's deep and firm voice was like a thunderclap, waking up Obick who had fallen into a 'sweet dream' instantly.

There were still tears of joy in the corner of his eyes, and he looked at Lan Meng inexplicably, but at this moment Lan Meng spoke again.

"Mr. Obic, I'm a chef, I wonder if you can have a discussion with me, and I also want to have a taste of your craft."

As soon as Lan Meng said this, whether it was Obike, Dagu and Xincheng, or even Zongfang and Jujianhui, who were monitoring the scene through the communicator, all had incredible expressions on their faces. It's not strange to comfort the other party with Obick's words, or to directly tear apart the other party's false dreams, but what the hell is it that you suddenly say you want to learn cooking skills with the other party?

Unsurprisingly, when Lan Meng said that he hoped to compete with the other party, Obike still had a puzzled expression on his face, but when Lan Meng said that he wanted to try the other party's skills, Obike was taken aback for a moment, and then the whole person fell silent , but in the end he nodded with some regret.

"I don't know if there will be a chance to make soba noodles again in the future. Since you want to eat it, then I will make it again."

As the other party's voice fell, the other party stretched out his right hand and waved lightly, and a traditional Japanese takeaway truck appeared behind the other party.

At this time, Obike's expression was calm, he could not see the joy before, nor the ferocity of last night, just like an ordinary chef preparing to welcome his diners.

But neither Dagu nor Xincheng breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"Thank you for reassuring Obik, please leave it to us to deal with it, and we will protect you."

Although Lan Meng's sudden appearance did bring unexpected tension to everyone in GUTS, but at this time Lan Meng calmed down Obike's emotions, and Dagu and the others were really grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

But what the other party didn't expect was that Lan Meng turned his head and glanced at them without saying a word.

Even if they didn't say a word, both Dagu and Xincheng seemed to be able to feel Lan Meng's eyes full of complaints.

At the same time, Lan Meng's voice sounded.

"What I just said is not to appease the other party, everything I said is serious! As a chef I hope to challenge the other party!"

After finishing speaking, Lan Meng no longer cared about the reactions of Dagu and Xincheng, carrying the packages on their backs and walking towards each other...

Chapter 48 Food and Hungry

I don't know whether it is because of the 'special main line' or other reasons. When Lanmeng chose to challenge 'Obik', there was no 'challenge task', but now Lanmeng is not concerned with these anymore.

"Mr. Obic, for the sake of fairness in the competition, I have some ingredients I brought here, let's split them in half."

While talking about Lan Meng, he opened the package he was carrying to reveal the ingredients he had brought.

Looking at the fruits of different shapes and various mushrooms exuding strange fragrances, especially when Lan Meng unwrapped the leaves wrapped in the meat, the other party couldn't help but pick it up with a wooden stick and glanced at the meat. layered.

Obviously, as a chef, the other party also noticed the particularity of the ingredients that Lan Meng brought, and Lan Meng also explained this.

"This is the rib meat of the herbivorous dragon. It is evenly fat and thin. No matter which part you want to use, you can directly pick it off and use it..."

"Very good meat."

Although Obik doesn't know what a herbivorous dragon is, but from the chef's point of view, this meat is very good, it can be used to make barbecued pork, but—————

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm still more used to using my usual ingredients. As for the ingredients here...you can use them as you like."

If at first the other party only wanted to make a bowl of soba noodles, then with Lan Meng's seemingly small action, his affection for Lan Meng unconsciously increased.

He doesn't quite know what Lan Meng's identity is, but he can at least be sure that Lan Meng is indeed a real chef.

Compared to Obike's refusal, Lan Meng was not at all polite.

The fact that he took the initiative to share his ingredients with his opponents did not mean that Lan Meng had no desire to win, but because he was eager to truly defeat his opponents, just like the exams in school.

Everyone has a fair environment, and the final grades and rankings are only affected by personal efforts, so he likes exams very much. In his opinion, this is the fairest thing in the world for him, so he has been studying hard .

Now facing 'Obik', he also hopes to defeat his opponent fairly.

Since the opponent chose to reject Lan Meng, he would not force it, but he would still do his best to win the competition.

Although Lan Meng just nodded silently, both Obike, Dagu and Xincheng could see Lan Meng's seriousness at this time.

And in this somewhat delicate atmosphere, the discussion belonging to Lan Meng and the others began.

What Obik does is naturally what he is best at, and he is also most familiar with the 'soba noodles' that he has been making for hundreds of years.

Lan Meng, on the other hand, was thinking carefully about the recipe she should choose.

According to the description of the 'task', the middle-aged man in front of him has actually spent hundreds of years, and the performance of the other party just now undoubtedly confirmed Lan Meng's guess, so the way to break the game should be within these hundreds of years. During the time of the year.

After contacting what the other party said before and the ingredients prepared in the dining car, Lan Meng decided that the core of the next cooking is 'lotus root'.

As a starchy and nutritious ingredient, lotus root has become popular since it was found edible, and there are countless recipes related to it.

Just some home-cooked dishes can report a lot, such as spicy dry pot lotus root, sweet rock sugar lotus root, sour cold lotus root...

But these options were ruled out by Lan Meng one by one.

Because he hopes to use the ingredient 'lotus root' as an introduction to give each other warmth.

Then the recipe he chooses had better have a certain connection with the other party itself.

Looking at the dining car on the side, Lan Meng gradually had an idea.

The first is the choice of ingredients, as the core 'lotus root' and the 'taro' and 'wakame' among the ingredients carried by the other party, plus the 'meat', 'mushroom' and 'carrot' that comes with Blue Dream is Blue Dream The ingredients that will be used next.

The first step is to make braised pork.

However, Lanmeng does not intend to use the common dark soy color but intends to use a more traditional 'fried sugar color'.

Of course, the meat still needs to be prepped before it can be colored.

The meat that had been marinated in advance to remove the fishy smell was cut into rectangles of the same size with a knife. At the same time, the 'pot' on the side had also been heated, and the meat was poured into it.
