Gentleman's Night Canteen

The suffering she experienced before she was adopted by Dusk when she was young was far beyond the imagination of most people, which is why she was extremely naive or even ignorant of common sense in some aspects, but she was extremely mature at other times.

Some people choose to drift with the tide when faced with suffering, and eventually turn into inconspicuous pebbles or disappear completely;

Some people choose to sink in the face of suffering, and even join forces with them in the end, from victims to perpetrators;

There are also some people who choose to resist in the face of suffering. They overcome the suffering and try to reduce the suffering in their own way.

No one knows what Ania used to be, but now she is saved by the dusk, no doubt she chose the same path as her 'father'.

The other party is working hard to maintain world peace as a spy, and she also hopes to contribute to the other party's work.

At this time, facing a little girl who was almost the same as before, she was naturally very concerned.

After hearing Lan Meng's words, she also unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she showed a very serious expression.

"Lanmeng! Is there anything I can do to help?"

Facing Ania with a serious expression, Lan Meng didn't say what she was going to refuse.

From Lan Meng's point of view, the young Aniya would be good if he didn't help, let alone help, but looking at the expectant eyes of the other party, Lan Meng realized that maybe what he said now might affect the whole family. The child's life, at last he spoke.

"Then can I trouble Ania to keep an eye on that child for me? Let me know when she wakes up."

Facing Lanmeng's 'please', Ania's eyes lit up, and then she raised her chest and patted her chest.

"Leave it to Ana!!"

After she finished speaking, she waved to Bond who was lying on the side.

Seeing a person and a dog disappear up the stairs, Lan Meng immediately showed a knowing smile.

But soon he restrained his smile, after all, he still has more important things to do right now...

Chapter 10 Ah~Shirley~

When Lan Meng first saw the unconscious little girl, he almost instinctively supported her, but then he felt a little strange, after all, he was a restaurant here.

But when he recalled the previous guests, he didn't feel incomprehensible.

Based on his experience, or in other words, based on the situation of those previous guests.

Regardless of their personalities, most of the customers who appeared in the store could be divided into two categories. The largest number of them were naturally those who wanted to have a full meal for various reasons, such as Al, Connor, and Denji.

The second category is more special guests, that is, guests who want to use his cooking skills, such as Long who wanted to learn omurice before, or guests like Guan Ling who need help with their own cooking.

Lan Meng didn't know whether that strange little girl belonged to the first category or the second category, but since the other party appeared, it was naturally impossible for him to refuse to save her.

Lan Meng didn't know why the other party appeared here in only a white coat, but he knew that as a chef, he might be able to do something, such as——————— Prepare some cold food for the other party.

The simplest and most practical way to dispel cold is naturally ginger soup.

Although ginger cola is very popular now, many people will choose to drink ginger cola after catching a cold or cold.

Some spicy ginger is not only not irritating because of the neutralization of cola, but also makes people feel warm after drinking it.

However, Lan Meng didn't intend to do this, not because he thought it was too simple to reflect his own technology, but because Jiang Si Coke had only been around for a few years, and there was nothing to refer to for the specific effect.

It is definitely better to let Lan Meng choose ginger soup.

But remembering that the other party looked about the same age as Connor, Lan Meng couldn't help wondering, could the other party really drink pure ginger soup?

Ginger soup should still be boiled, but besides that, he also planned to make another thing, a dessert that the other party would probably like----rock sugar pear.

It is obvious that Lan Meng is planning to hit a stick and give a red date.

Compared with other medicinal foods that sound high, Rock Sugar Sydney is very approachable. Many people should have eaten it, especially when they coughed when they were young, they often cooked a bowl at home.

However, generally speaking, rock sugar pears are more for cough relief, and not very helpful for treating wind and cold, because pears are sweet and cold in nature, but the rock sugar pears that Lanmeng prepared to make are somewhat different from ordinary ones. He ate them more than once when he had a cold when he was a child Once, it not only works but he likes to eat it very much.

In addition to the normal 'pear' and 'rock sugar', Lanmeng also prepared some white fungus, red dates and wolfberry as the ingredients.

Pear itself has the effect of promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, while red dates and wolfberry can nourish blood energy.

This improved rock sugar pear is not so much a cure for illness, but rather a way of strengthening resistance through tonic.

The production is not considered difficult, the biggest problem is the 'knife skills', but it is not a trouble for Lan Meng at this time.

The first step is to process the pears.

The rock sugar pears that are usually made at home are basically peeled directly, cut into small pieces and then stewed with rock sugar. When the pears are stewed, they can basically be eaten, but the production method of blue dream is still a little special.

First of all, the first step is the same. Clean the pear first, and then cut off the top piece together. However, it does not need to be discarded, but the inedible core residue inside is cleaned up.

The same is true for the remaining pears, and this step is also the time when the knife is most tested.

A person with good knife skills will feel as if they are natural, while a person with poor knife skills will cut them in tatters, and may even directly "disfigure" them.

In fact, there is also a tricky way to this step, that is, cut the fruit in half vertically, then clean out the core, and then seal it with a toothpick.

It is naturally much simpler to do so, but the effect is worse.

Now that he has the skills, he will naturally choose the most difficult and also the most suitable method.

Although Lan Meng looks stronger than ordinary people, he has a pair of flexible hands that are completely different from his appearance.

I saw Lan Meng holding a slender short knife in his hand and gently picked it up and then scraped it lightly, and soon the fruit core was pulled out very completely.

At this time, the small cup used to cook rock sugar pears is almost heated, put the processed pears into it, and then add red dates and rock sugar to the hollowed out pears, and cover the 'lid' on it , As for the white fungus, it is put in the cup in advance and heated with water.

However, it should be noted that the water in the cup should not be too much, at least not overflowing the opening at the top of the pear.

This is followed by a slow simmer.

With the sound of 'Puff', the water vapor in the pot continuously lifted the lid of the small cup, and at the same time, a strange sweet smell also spread.

Lan Meng knew that this was a sign that the rock sugar had begun to melt completely. When the sweetness in the air began to decrease, it meant that the stew was complete.

All he had to do next was wait.

But even waiting for Lan Meng still didn't waste time. Not only did he send Connor more than one barbecue, after all, if he didn't send the barbecue, Connor, who had already whetted his appetite, might be ready to go to the second floor to talk to Bond.

At the same time, Lan Meng also took advantage of this time to cook ginger soup.

The cooking of ginger soup is simpler, just cut the ginger into small pieces and boil it with water, but because pure ginger soup is too spicy for children, Lan Meng also added a little brown sugar, so that the taste of cooking better.

About half an hour later, the pears were basically stewed. Lan Meng also put the small cup and the ginger soup on the dinner plate and brought it to the second floor.

I don’t know whether it’s because I’ve eaten a lot in the morning, or because I’m interested in the rock sugar pear made by Lan Meng. After eating the last piece of barbecue on the plate, Connor wiped his mouth with the napkin on the table while walking With his short legs, he ran after Lan Meng to the second floor.

The 'da da' sound made by the small leather shoes colliding with the floor behind him was like knocking on a typewriter. Naturally, Lan Meng could not have heard it, but Lan Meng, who has always been more tolerant of children, did not stop the other party, but just put his index finger on his mouth Signal the other person to be quiet.

After seeing Lan Meng's gesture, Connor quickly covered his mouth, and nodded obediently.

Seeing the other party's cute expression, Lan Meng couldn't help but pat the other party's head as a reward.

And Connor narrowed his eyes with some enjoyment.

But fortunately, Lan Meng didn't forget his business. After briefly comforting Connor, Lan Meng walked towards his room again.

As the door of the room was pushed open, the first thing Lan Meng saw was Arnia lying by the window and Bond curled up beside each other silently.

Bond obviously raised his body when he heard footsteps, but after confirming that it was Lan Meng, he fell down again.

As for Ania, she sniffed her nose unconsciously, and the sweet smell behind her made her instantly aware of what seemed to be a change in the room.

But when she turned around and saw Lan Meng, she was obviously taken aback. After all, she was used to judging the location by eavesdropping on other people's voices, and she never thought that Lan Meng would suddenly appear behind her.

But when she saw the small cup Lan Meng was holding, her eyes lit up.

Obviously, for Ania, who likes to eat peanut butter, the sweet rock candy pear is also in the opponent's strike zone.

But she couldn't help but look back at the 'Miss Sister' who was still unconscious, and finally swallowed to suppress her desire.

It is obvious that she is sensible and knows that this is what Lan Meng prepared for the other party.

It's just that even though she has tried very hard to conceal her thoughts, but the other party's acting skills are really worrying, Lan Meng can almost see through the other party's desire at a glance, and can't help but laugh.

"There are two more in the kitchen, which are for Ania and Connor. I'll take you to eat later~"

"!!!"

As Lan Meng's voice fell, Ania's eyes lit up, who was still holding back her longing.

"Is it okay?! Can Arnia eat it too?!"

"Of course, this is Ania's reward for helping me take care of this young lady~"

"oh oh!!"

Arnia, who was affirmed and praised by Lan Meng, immediately let out a small cheer.

Looking at the other party's bright and carefree smile, Lan Meng seemed to feel a lot better.

But it was precisely because of this that the eyes he looked at the child on the bed became more profound.

Obviously children are treasures in this world, but why would anyone want to hurt them?

Lan Mengmeng couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to know. The only thing he could do at this moment was to wait, hoping that the other party would wake up soon.

While Lan Meng was communicating with Ania, the tea-haired girl lying on the bed on the other side frowned unconsciously.

Although Lan Meng's reasoning ability is worrying, her observation skills are obviously good. She didn't find any wounds on the other party's body before, and the other party was indeed not abused, because she had been imprisoned in one place before.

But the only thing that is special is that the other party is not an ordinary little girl, but an adult woman who has taken a special drug and turned into her current posture (Haibara is one year older than Conan), but she has become a little girl so much Not completely voluntary, but after learning that her sister was killed and trying to commit suicide by taking the medicine she made, she turned into a little girl because of the special effect of the medicine.

Finally, with the help of this petite body, he escaped from the place where he was imprisoned.

At the same time, it was precisely because of this that the other party only wore a white coat.

Fortunately, it was raining lightly that day, and there were no people in the afternoon, and she carefully avoided passers-by and finally walked all the way to the destination, but maybe because she was tired and hungry, she finally pushed Lan Meng's hand away unconsciously. shop door.

At this time, she who fell into a coma unconsciously resurfaced in her mind all the past.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang in her ear that woke her up completely.

Because she heard two key words.

'Knife' and ———————'Shirley (xueli)'

Chapter 11 A sudden hug

Because the girl on the bed hadn't woken up, coupled with Connor's longing expression, after much hesitation, Lan Meng finally chose to give up the rock candy Sydney to her.

Of course, Lan Meng didn't favor one over another, and after giving it to Connor, he also said that the kitchen still had to ask Ania to wait for a while.

Even though Ania, who has always been very sensible, still showed a surprised expression after listening to Lan Meng's words.

Undoubtedly, for little girls, this kind of sweetness suitable for dessert is far more attractive than ordinary food, especially when Ania heard that this kind of dessert has a certain effect on relieving cough from Lan Meng.

Although Ania is more mature than her peers due to some special reasons, she is still just a child after all, with limited body resistance, and colds and fevers are inevitable when the seasons change.

At this time, Dusk naturally gave the other party the medicine.

Thinking of those bitter medicines, Anya couldn't help shivering.

But it's different now. Not only does she not need to take those bitter medicines, but she also has delicious desserts to eat. When she thinks of this, she can't help but look forward to it.

And Lan Meng seemed to have guessed what Ania was thinking, and he did not forget to remind the other party that this thing can only relieve cough and prevent it, and cannot replace medicine.

Arnia, who was originally excited when she heard this, suddenly looked disappointed.

And Lan Meng just rubbed the other person's head and didn't say much, after all, who hasn't used the time of innocence?

It's not that Lan Meng didn't have this idea when he was a child.

But after the initial loss, Ania still enthusiastically asked Lan Meng about the method of making rock sugar pears. After all, in her opinion, although a cold and fever cannot be cured, it is also a good thing to eat such a delicious dessert during illness. nice thing.

Naturally, Lan Meng would not be stingy about this, but explained to the other party seriously.

However, while explaining, Lan Meng still did not forget to remind the other party not to touch the kitchen utensils casually. After all, unlike Connor, Ania's body is no different from that of ordinary children. Using kitchen utensils is still somewhat risky. Parents will relay the production method to each other's parents.

Of course, Lan Meng also knows that children are always hot-headed sometimes, so he is ready to write down the production method on paper for Bond to take back.

As for why Bond?

Although the other party doesn't look as smart as Yae Miko, he is obviously very human. It shouldn't be a big problem for the other party to bring a recipe to Ania's parents.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s lost, it’s just a recipe anyway.

So since Lan Meng already had a follow-up plan, why did he take the trouble to explain it to Ania?

It's very simple, one is because Lan Meng hopes that the other party can really remember, and it is also because Lan Meng believes that Ania should be able to reap more joy after remembering it and telling it to her parents. Retelling recipes on the sidelines is quite different from the engagement you get.

It's just that this warm scene was interrupted by a burst of exclamation.

Miyano Shiho, who heard words such as 'knife' and 'xueli' in a blur, saw a huge 'shadow' blocking in front of him the first time he woke up suddenly.
