I conquer the daily life of the protagonist group with food

Following Eiji, Jiangcheng and him came to a store called Four Seasons.

Kikumaru did his homework in advance, and he pointed to the name.

"Ayutthaya, this is the store. It was established in 1707. I heard that the queen also likes the afternoon tea here."

As soon as they arrived at the door, the attendants inside opened the shop door for the guests from the inside.

With a very mellow London accent, he greeted Jiang Cheng and the other two with greetings.

Obviously, Kikumaru, whose English is relatively poor, especially at such a relatively fast speaking speed, he has only a half-knowledge of what the attendant said.

Oops, I don't seem to have done my homework in this area. After all, when making an appointment online, you can switch the language, but now when it's time to have a serious conversation in English, Kikumaru just stops eating.

Kikumaru rubbed his nose, and looked at Dashiro unnaturally, his eyes seemed to be asking what the attendant said?

Jiang Cheng chuckled, and leaned closer to Ying Er's ear.

"He's asking for your appointment information."

Kikumaru was stunned, and quickly showed the message on the mobile phone that the reservation was successful.

After confirming the information, the attendant led the two of them to the second floor, because this afternoon tea shop has a long history.

At the beginning, they made a fortune selling tea and gifts, so they have continued the tradition, selling their special black tea and some cup utensils with brand imprint on the first floor.

These were all Jiang Cheng saw in the introduction on the wall of the store, but soon he found a familiar figure.

It was a newspaper, which was framed and decorated on the wall. It was actually Lambert. The newspaper recorded the scene when Lambert won the World Dessert Championship. The competition was still in France. , no wonder he has been hailed by the French media as a rare dessert chef in a hundred years.

According to news reports, Lambert was brilliant at the time. He was originally unknown and became famous in the competition.

Seeing Jiang Cheng staring at Master Green's photo, the attendant briefly introduced him.

"This shop originally belonged to the Green family, but after Master Lambert won the dessert competition, he took over the shop. Although it still belongs to the Green family, the owner has changed to the name of Master Lambert. .”

Kikumaru leaned over to see the photos on the news.

"Ah, this person..."

Apparently he had the impression that before Dachengcheng participated in the cooking competition, this person was still Dachengcheng's opponent.

Jiang Cheng knew that Lambert had a good background, but he still didn't expect that he was the young master of the Green family. The Green family can be regarded as the most rich and ancient family in Britain.

Just as they opened their legs in Jiangcheng, an unexpected voice came from behind them.

"Jiang?"

Well, when I came to their shop, I met the person involved by such a coincidence.

Obviously the person who came was Lambert, and today he just decided to come to the store temporarily.

He didn't expect to see Jiang Cheng, he looked surprised and surprised, and Lambert walked over in two or three steps.

"It's been a long time, Jiang, why didn't you tell me when you came to England? Last time we agreed, I'll show you around London when you come. Have you forgotten it? It really makes me sad."

Hearing the little resentment in his tone, Jiang Cheng was slightly startled at first, and then quickly showed a helpless smile.

"Of course I remember, but I didn't come to London for travel, so I didn't tell you."

In fact, a certain city forgot, and besides, it didn't want to trouble Lambert.

However, Lambert stared at Jiangcheng for a moment with a suspicious look on his face, and opened his mouth tentatively.

"Jiang, you must not forget."

Oops, was seen through.

Jiang Cheng gave a dry laugh in embarrassment.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Lambert laughed at his frank admission.

"Jiang, you admitted too quickly."

Jiang Cheng scratched his head.

"Well, after all, I'm an honest person. The fact is that I forgot to tell you. I just found out that this store is yours after seeing your news in the store."

Lambert smiled and invited him and Kikumaru to take a seat, and ordered the attendant to serve some desserts unique to their shop, as well as the indispensable black tea.

In the UK, the traditional afternoon tea is not just drinking tea, but more specifically, it should be a light meal before dinner.

A long time ago, the dinner time in England was around eight o'clock in the evening, so at four o'clock in the afternoon, those nobles felt hungry, so they ordered their servants to bring cakes and tea trays to eat, and this new habit developed over time. It developed into a trend, so afternoon tea has been kept in Britain until now.

However, with the change of modern people's dining habits, afternoon tea has become an experience again. Of course, the traditional British people still have the habit of afternoon tea.

While the waiter was preparing, Lambert and Kikumaru also introduced each other, and in order to take care of Kikumaru's habits, he communicated proficiently in Japanese.

"Jiang, you just said that you didn't come to England to travel, but did you come for the dessert competition?"

Lambert is very clear about the quality of Jiangcheng's desserts. If Jiang comes to participate, he will definitely become famous in one fell swoop!

It's a pity, Jiang Cheng can only spread his hands in regret.

"I'm here to participate in the competition, Lambert, have you heard of the under17 World Cup?"

Hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Lambert was stunned. Of course he knew this, and his friend would also represent England.

"It turns out that Jiang is here to participate in this event, but I heard that there are three events..."

Speaking of which, Lambert took a look at Jiang Cheng's body shape. With Jiang's slender body, it seemed that it would not be a basketball game, but he did see the small tennis ball and the racket pendant on the Juwan bag.

"Jiang, are you and Kikumaru participating in the tennis team?"

Now he guessed wrong, Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

"Eiji plays tennis. As for me, I join the table tennis team."

"It seems that Jiang's table tennis is also very good. Then I will go to the scene to see it."

"welcome."

While talking, the waiter brought up the black tea.

Beautifully patterned white porcelain teacups are accented with small pale blue flowers that stand out.

Looking at the exquisite teacup, Lambert said that this is a special cup made in their shop, and it is the only one in the whole of the UK, which is a unique imprint of the brand.

Inside the cup is maroon tea, and there is a delicate little teaspoon on the tea tray for stirring.

In addition to black tea, snacks with tea were also served one after another.

Freshly baked English scones served with cream and fresh jam, white chocolate and macarons are also very popular desserts. The waiters also brought milk and sugar, which they can add to the tea cups according to their own preferences .

Lambert introduced the recipe and origin of each dessert to Jiang Cheng and Ju Wan.

"Give it a try. If you're hungry, you can have some more sandwiches. The sandwiches here are also delicious."

Although experiencing an afternoon tea here has a sense of atmosphere, Jiang Cheng and Kikumaru can't achieve the feeling of elegant gentlemen, but Lambert, like everyone else, enjoyed an afternoon tea very casually, although both Very relaxed, but obviously Lambert's strict and elegant etiquette since he was a child is still different.

After Kikumaru ate some snacks, he greeted Oshiro and the others.

My sister and her family all hope to bring some gifts back home, especially my sister specially asked him to post postcards at the post office over the Sherlock Holmes Museum, because there will be Sherlock Holmes’s postmark there, which is very commemorative, and there are some stories about Sherlock Holmes. A particular commodity that appears to be available only in the UK.

After a brief explanation, Kikumaru set off, because this street is Baker Street, which is very close, so he wanted to help his sister buy all the things she wanted today, so he wouldn't have to come here again in the days to come.

Lambert and Jiang Cheng were left chatting in the store.

"Jiang, don't you want to participate in the dessert competition? The gold content of this competition is quite good. I believe that if it is you, it will definitely shine."

Jiang Cheng was a little moved, but it was obvious that the competition was coming soon, and the registration had long since ended, so he could only speak regretfully, and reciprocated by the way.

"Thank you for being so confident in me, but I won't be in a hurry this year. I'll wait for the next time, and I will definitely do it next time."

"Okay, but I am very optimistic about Jiang. When the next competition is held, you will definitely be among the top three."

Regarding Lambert's confidence in himself, Jiang Cheng was a little bit dumbfounded.

Although he can't participate as a contestant, Jiangcheng still wants to watch the competition and learn about the world's most cutting-edge dessert making and creativity, which is also a compulsory course for every pastry chef.

But before Jiang Cheng could speak, Lambert invited him.

"I have an invitation letter, Jiang, would you like to go and have a look together?"

It is not a problem for the Green family to get a few more invitations.

"Thank you Lambert if you can."

On the other side, Kikumaru met a strange person just after he bought something from the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

He disguised himself very well, wearing a hat, his low-key brown hair was pressed into the hat, and the brim of his hat was pushed down so low that Kikumaru couldn't see his appearance clearly.

It’s just that the other party stopped him and said a bunch of things he didn’t understand. There were vaguely some deadly words, but there was only one sentence in English that he understood, and what the other party said was [If you have no clue, just ask Sherlock Holmes]

After saying that, he stuffed a card to Kikumaru and left.

When Kikumaru came back to the shop again.

"Ying Er, have you bought it?" Jiang Cheng casually took the bag from his hand and put it aside.

But Kikumaru handed the card to Oshiro with a wrinkled face.

"Souvenirs are good, but I met a strange person."

"Strange person?" Jiang Cheng and Lambert both asked curiously.

"Yes, just after coming out of the Sherlock Holmes Pavilion."

"Did something happen?"

Kikumaru shook his head as he recalled what happened just now.

"I didn't hear what he said clearly. I only understood the last sentence, which said that if I don't have any thoughts, I should ask Holmes."

Regarding this passage, Jiang Cheng and Lambert looked at each other, obviously they didn't understand it either.

Kikumaru was also confused, but he pointed to the card.

"The man gave me this and left. I haven't seen what he looks like yet."

Jiang Cheng turned over the card in his hand, and saw that it was a paragraph of English on it, and it was divided into several lines, typesetting like a poem.

Lambert also leaned over and read along with the writing.
