Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

Cheng Lixue's performance could not be hidden from Alicia at all. She easily saw through Cheng Lixue's hesitation and pleading that he was thinking of something when he asked about the taste of the food sold in that store.

Alicia's words hit Cheng Lixue's heart accurately.

"Mr. Long, Mrs. Ai Li, can we go eat the wonton noodles from that store?"

Alicia looked at Long, who nodded in agreement.

That shop is a mom-and-pop shop, consisting of a middle-aged couple and their fourteen-year-old daughter.

The wife and daughter are responsible for collecting the bills, serving food, cleaning the store tables, etc., while the husband is also busy, constantly cooking their own pasta.

The group waited for more than ten minutes and finally took their seats.

They were very lucky. There was just enough wonton noodles left for seven of them that Cheng Lixue wanted to eat.

The delicious wonton noodles were served one by one by the shopkeeper's daughter, and a welcome signal served as a signal for them to start enjoying.

A moment after the entrance... Cheng Lixue actually started to tremble, speeded up his eating, and finished eating quickly.

She began to recite silently:

"The soup is made from earth fish and river shrimp. It's delicious and sweet."

"Duck eggs are added to the dough, and the kneaded dough is very tough."

“Wontons, fresh shrimp balls and perfectly fat pork...”

"In the end, this ratio...is Master's method..."

The last sentence was spoken so quietly that she didn't make a sound at all: "The wontons made by Master are the best in the world."

Long looked at Cheng Lixue who felt something was wrong: "Miss Lixue?"

Cheng Lixue did not answer Long. The husband who was in charge of the chef also finished his work. He happened to hear Cheng Lixue talking to himself and was stunned: "Eh? How do you know about this young lady..."

Cheng Lixue looked at the shopkeeper's husband expectantly and asked, "Boss, who did you get the recipe for wonton noodles?"

The boss was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a while... said with some vicissitudes:

"It was an older sister I met when I was a child. My family was in trouble at that time, and she made me a bowl. I wrote down the techniques, ingredients and taste..."

"I've tried it before, but it never felt that way... Then I slowly changed it, changed the techniques, materials, cooking time, etc... After more than ten years of work, I found the taste in my memory... .”

"Little girl, have you eaten it too? Then she shouldn't be young now... After all, more than 40 years have passed... She should be around 60 or [-] years old. I am the same now. ...Forty is quite a bit."

The boss shook his head, took out a pack of cigarettes from his apron pocket, took out one, and paused:

"What's her name...Hua Lai? It's been too long...I just remember the smell, even the name."

The boss lit a cigarette and felt very melancholy. The cigarette in his hand floated in front of his eyes, and he realized that there were still customers in the store. He quickly apologized and stayed away from them.

Cheng Lixue's excited expression slowly turned calm as the boss spoke, and finally she calmly sat on a chair and looked at some unfinished soup base in her bowl.

The bottom of the soup reflected her appearance...it's hard to describe, she looked very calm and deserted...but upon closer inspection, she looked full of sadness.

Long saw something in his eyes and understood something. He could sense that Cheng Lixue's panic-stricken mind was far from as calm as it seemed.

[It seems that the "big sister" the boss mentioned has a close relationship with Miss Lixue. 】

[The reason why her [Taixu Sword Heart] realm of practicing [Taixu Sword Qi] has been stuck at [Wuchen] may be because of that "big sister"]

[I gained a key piece of information. That person was most likely Miss Lixue's "master". He even left her under certain circumstances, so she immediately looked for that "master" when she smelled this smell.]

[And that person... is called x Hua... um... Hua]

[Is it really Hua? 】

[Hua was also a person from East Asia in the civilization of the previous generation... and she also implemented the Tinder Plan, so it seems that the immortal is really likely to be her... Has she changed her name to a certain Hua now...]

【It has been active until now...if that is true.Hua, I really want to see how you are living and how far you have progressed. You know, after reading those materials, I, like them, am full of expectations for your future. 】

Takashi and Alicia looked at each other, and Alicia blinked secretly to convey the message to Takashi to confirm her mood. She also understood these points based on the information.

The two of them were like little devils, exchanging their thoughts in a tacit understanding without knowing it, trying to dig out more information about Cheng Lixue.

Miss Cheng Lixue fell into a devil's cave!

In front of two big demons, there is no possibility of keeping the secret!

(just kidding)

Long and Alicia are both people who are full of love for human beings. How could they keep letting Cheng Lixue suffer so much in front of them? Of course they need to be comforted. As for the secret~hehe~

[Just think of it as the cost of psychological counseling?]

——Alicia said

Since the Old World: Chapter 50 Clothing

After finishing the meal.

A group of people went to a large shopping mall to stroll around.

Long took his daughters to play in the arcade in the mall.

Alicia took Cheng Lixue around the mall, looking at clothes, bags, cosmetics and the like.

Although Cheng Lixue said that she didn't need this, she couldn't resist it. Her character was learned from her master... and she wasn't used to such fiery enthusiasm.

Alicia's interest arose, she really wanted to dress up her figure like Cheng Lixue~

At the same time, Alicia was also visiting the mall with Cheng Lixue, asking her about possible things about her master.

Alicia's way of speaking is always very effective in gaining the trust of others.

While walking around, Cheng Lixue also told Alicia a lot of things, including her master, who taught her Taixu sword energy, and how the master who took care of her growth cared for her... but for some reason she suddenly Leave.

Alicia also planned to turn passive into active: "Miss Lixue...Actually, your master and we are comrades-in-arms."

"what?"

Under Cheng Lixue's surprised expression, Alicia didn't say much. Instead, she picked up a big-brimmed hat and covered Miss Lixue's head.

"No, Miss Ellie—"

This was the name Alicia told her. Alicia felt that calling her "ma'am" all the time made her look old-fashioned.

It can be done during first meeting and introduction and in some formal occasions.

"Shh - you will know later~" Alicia said with a smile and raised her fingers to make a silent gesture.

"Let's go and check out the next store. I haven't been so happy in a shopping mall in a long time."

Alicia bought the dress she was interested in, and the clerk packed it and handed it to her. Although it was a bit strange to buy a dress in this winter, Alicia liked it.

Cheng Lixue felt a little strange.

According to the intelligence she collected in the Destiny Intelligence Department.

Compared with ordinary people, the living standard of the Long family is very high. During the few months they lived in Vienna, it was not like they didn't go shopping and spend money in big shopping malls.

So what happened to what Alicia said about "I haven't had the pleasure of visiting a mall in a long time"?

Strange speculations formed in Cheng Lixue's mind.

[Miss Alicia just said that she and Mr. Long are both master’s comrades. 】

[But Master...she is an immortal!Could it be? 】

【……】

Cheng Lixue couldn't figure it out. As one of the few A-level Valkyries in Destiny, she had completely participated in the big alert at Destiny headquarters on June 6.

Naturally, they knew that Long Tian suddenly appeared from the airspace near Tianming Headquarters and then fell into Vienna.

The intelligence also showed that one day, Alicia suddenly appeared in his residence.

All the intelligence analysts found this strange, it was so sudden.

[But if it is true as Miss Ellie said...the two of them are Master's comrades-in-arms. 】

[Especially the fighting ability shown by Mr. Long...it doesn't seem impossible. 】

"Come on, Miss Lixue. I found a set of clothes that suits your temperament very well. Come and try it on."

"Come here~!" Alicia called at the door of another store, waking up Cheng Lixue who was deep in thought.

Cheng Lixue shook her head helplessly, throwing away the suspicion of lack of information from her mind, and walked towards Alicia, becoming her clothes rack again.

Cheng Lixue looked at herself in the mirror.

She subconsciously assumed a posture, which was a gesture from the fighting skills taught to her by her master.

Under this British-style detective element costume, he is indeed very handsome.

"Wait a moment."

"Well, what's the problem? Miss Ellie."

Alicia untied Cheng Lixue's hair and braided her blue to gray hair into a high ponytail.

Alicia looked at Cheng Lixue in the mirror and clapped her hands.

"The detective assistant from the East, the dashing Miss Watson, makes her debut."

"Miss Lixue, how do you feel?"

Cheng Lixue admired Alicia's aesthetics. This outfit was really nice and she looked very capable.

But that's it...

It feels a little tight.

"Huh? Miss Lixue, is there something wrong?" Alicia looked at Chen Lixue's unexplainable expression and asked the question proactively.

Cheng Lixue said a little embarrassedly: "This dress is good in every way, but it's a little tight..."

Then he looked down at his waist.

Alicia suddenly understood and said with a smile: "I'll go and ask the store clerk if they have larger sizes."

Finally, I got confirmation from the store clerk that it was available.

According to the store clerk, this dress is based on what people in the past saw with their own eyes, the clothes worn by the prototype characters of Sherlock Holmes and Watson in the novels written by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Those people drew it and passed it down to this day. Their store recently held a detective novel event, so they launched such a set of clothing.

However, for many years, everyone has been arguing about whether this suit of clothing was originally a prototype of Sherlock Holmes or a prototype of his assistant Watson.

The only thing everyone can be sure of is that this set of clothes is indeed not fictitious, but really exists, and the drawings at that time have been handed down.

Of course, there will be some changes to what is sold in the store, and they will be more suitable for going out.

Because of the influence of the clothing patterns passed down from the original version, the original style had a flatter bust. Therefore, the store's design of the popular model also followed the original version and was more unisex, so the bust was smaller.

However, there are also women's models specially modified for women.

Cheng Lixue put on her own clothes, picked up the dress and said, "Miss Aili, please let me pay for this dress myself."

"I seem to be able to feel a little connection from above."

"Okay!"

While agreeing to Cheng Lixue, Alicia also set her sights on an eye-catching dress.

That dress is also part of the detective series held by this store.

It mainly has purple and blue tones, which are more traditional and ancient than other groups, and appear gorgeous and mysterious.

The piece of clothing that Alicia was eyeing, she understood through the store clerk's introduction that it belonged to the only woman who defeated Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler.

Alicia said to herself: "Oh, this dress is really nice, if I wear it..."

"Hmm, if that's the case, then I'll buy the set that belongs to Sherlock Holmes and give it to Long."

In fact, Alicia asked the store clerk to pack not only the blue and purple dress, but also a white dress and a red dress from the Irene Adler series.

But these two clothes are not suitable for wearing outside now. She plans to wear them after returning home, or when spring and summer come, they will be more suitable for wearing outside, or for a night with Long.

After all, it's still winter.

However, the clothes in this series, Holmes's set, are relatively plain, consisting of more traditional nineteenth-century British-style suits, windbreakers, walking sticks, leather shoes, etc.

Although this is the case, the clothing materials used in this store are very good, and they have also adapted some of them to modifications.
