Otherworldly recipes

The lively atmosphere in the small shop is quite different from the deserted atmosphere in the past.

Lin Huaimeng's invitation has been going on for a long time, but because time passes at different speeds in each world, it is a huge project to determine the exact date of New Year's Eve in each world. Fortunately, other enthusiastic guests helped her determine time.

Although Lin Huaimeng is the owner of the shop, she actually has very few abilities. She is just an ordinary person without special functions and unarmed. She doesn't know the exact origin of the shop, nor can she know what she can do as the shop owner. , Many people who secretly helped him, even couldn't know their respective identities.

Lin Huaimeng was also very uncomfortable at the beginning, but after receiving more help like this, he could only bite the bullet and adapt to himself on a completely unfamiliar road.

The guest who helped Lin Huaimeng determine the time was a bit mysterious. He called himself Mr. T, and he rarely showed up in the small shop. Even if he entered the shop, he would not eat any food. is responsive.

Mr. T always said to Lin Huaimeng with emotion: "You are the darling of time, the chosen one of the ruler."

Lin Huaimeng asked him what it meant, but the mysterious guest just laughed. He neither wanted to explain nor was he going to explain. Every time he happened to appear at the moment when the owner was in distress, he was like a kind person who gave charcoal in the snow, although the purpose was still unknown.

Of course, Lin Huaimeng invited Mr. T to the New Year's Eve party, but when the shop opened, a letter rushed in as if it had a life. It shuttled through the air until it fell into Lin Huaimeng's palm.

The shopkeeper opened the envelope, and there was only a simple sentence in it: Sorry, I am too busy to come, but I wish you a happy Chinese New Year.

The inscription is the mysterious Mr. T.

At this moment, Mr. T, who is in the dominant plane, is sorting out the collection, and the pages of the book that are exactly the same as the recipe in Lin Huaimeng's hand are being spread out on his desk. Mr. T is looking at the latest recipe sent by Lin Huaimeng with relish, and Xiao Ai is on the side. Add number.

Mr. T has accumulated a lot of recipes. One wall is full of delicacies from various worlds. They are constantly innovating and increasing in number. There are still a steady stream of recipes sent over every day. Mr. T keeps them all as a This trace of existence is a special civilization.

Small red lanterns are hung around, Spring Festival couplets in golden fonts, the Spring Festival Gala is on TV, several guests are watching intently, the New Year’s Eve dinner has been prepared a few days ago, and now the long table is put together, and the cold dishes are served one by one , Lin Huaimeng almost looped the single Good Luck.

The past few Spring Festivals in recent years have been uneventful. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t have much hope for the new year. She also held a reunion banquet last year. The people who participated have changed a lot from now. The old and new faces are replaced quickly. Sometimes when I think of this, I feel a little sad.After all, we are all in different worlds, and different things happen every day, and Lin Huaimeng can't know about those guests who never come again.

Once the portal is closed, they will become independent existences again. They can only know whether they are good or bad. It seems that there has never been a real intersection.

Bella, who was wrapped in a black robe, didn't say a word. She stayed not far from Heidi, her eye-catching wings were gathered on her back, and the holy light floated faintly around her. Her eyes fell on Heidi, and Bella La is currently under control, and her supervisor is Heidi Masefield.

This means that Bella must be in the same room with Heidi. They act in the same way and come and go in the same way. Although Heidi complains a lot about this, she can't disobey the order issued by the church. The identity of the person who entered the sky, but due to the serious crimes, she must have a supervisor to supervise the behavior. In this way, Heidi, who is similar to her age and has the same blood and breath, has become a good target.

Bella was as silent as a clay sculpture. Her delicate face was covered by a mask, and she couldn't see the fluctuations of her emotions. Only she knew how all kinds of emotions were surging in her heart. Before she stepped into the door, she struggled with how to say the opening remarks , or the origin of my pair of wings.

But Heidi didn't give her a chance to speak. She had already completely occupied the position next to the shopkeeper. Bella could only blink her eyes and wait idly. Heidi would glance at Bella occasionally. Still wary of this woman, although Bella behaved normally, and could even be called well-behaved during this time.

The teachers in the church praised Bella very much. She studied hard, mastered the use of divine power, and showed deep remorse for her mistakes. Heidi remembered that one day when she repented, Bella shed tears , her lips were pressed against the prayer beads, and she moved her lips soundlessly.

But Heidi still remembered the violence that had appeared in this person's eyes, she was really an existence that would rob people's lives.

No matter what species, what kind of life, once they lose their awe of death, such people will never be able to predict their bottom line. Bella broke the precept once, followed by countless recidivism, in Heidi's opinion , although Bella is now the sky is true, but she is still dangerous, disturbing.

Lin Huaimeng asked: "What's wrong?"

Heidi withdrew her gaze and said softly, "We cannot go back on our agreement."

Lin Huaimeng nodded. She had made an agreement with Heidi that she would distance herself from Bella. After all, she had asked Heidi to do too many difficult things. Heidi has always asked for this, to keep a safe distance from Bella. .

Heidi leaned next to the shopkeeper, complaining about her studies and time, even repeating the unworthy things several times. Lin Huaimeng smiled and comforted her, and brought out a bunch of melon seeds from nowhere, and asked Heidi to take them one by one. taste.

Heidi was assigned the task of tasting, so she had no choice but to settle down and sit on a chair. She was licking the melon seeds, spitting out the shells indistinctly. Lie down on the table.

The white wings fluttered lazily a few times, pointed to two kinds of melon seeds and commented: "This one is more delicious, this one is salty."

Lin Huaimeng glanced around. Heidi said that the former is cream, and the latter is five spices. Children really prefer sweet flavors, even melon seeds.

"I bought a lot of nuts this time, try them all, and you have never eaten any sugar."

Heidi frowned and criticized the five-flavored melon seeds, so Lin Huaimeng had to put more creamy melon seeds in her palm to block the dissatisfaction of the sky. Fruits and snacks.

Heidi likes peanut candy. The crispy taste made her unable to resist touching several pieces and stuffing them in her mouth. Maltose is very sweet. The taste of this kind of sliced ​​candy is completely different from that of fruit candy. Heidi would like to describe the difference between them , if you really want to say, it is probably peanuts that make her more satisfied.

Bella noticed that Heidi's childish side was fully revealed here, and her arrogance as a person in the sky was completely restrained. Heidi here is much more presumptuous than in Sky City, without restraint and identity barriers, Even so, Heidi should be a hard-to-serve celestial being.

It was too easy for her to compromise with Lin Huaimeng, which made Bella realize more clearly how much Heidi depended on the shopkeeper.

Bella hasn't been standing in this small restaurant for a long time. She looked around, feeling like a long-lost reunion but everything changed. She touched the edge of the table with her fingertips and wiped it clean. The wooden table top has uneven texture, which can only be felt by touching.

Bella remembered the last time she left and wiped the table with magic power, and now there is no mark of magic left, it is still the same here, and it seems to have changed completely, things and people are changing, nothing stays the same Something will exist somewhere whole.

She looked up at Lin Huaimeng, as well as the guests around her. The bustling sound made the shop full of excitement, and Bella swallowed her words, with a gentle smile still on her face.

"Long time no see, the owner."

Since she left last time, she has never appeared again. Lin Huaimeng once thought that Bella would never come back. The last time she heard Bella's name, it was through Heidi's nagging complaints. She told the shopkeeper angrily that the world has awakened The blood of the new sky, this new sky is Bella.

This news surprised Lin Huaimeng a little.

Bella awakened, her blood was revived in that dark cage, the huge wings grew out of the flesh, and the folded wings wrapped her until the Sky One rescued her.

Human beings and celestial beings are two completely different existences. The noble celestial beings are glorious and unworthy. No matter what mistakes she makes, as long as her blood is pure, she can save her fate once.

The awakening of the sky's bloodline will happen to a small number of human beings. The blood of this group of people should have the sky's gene. As time goes by, awakening occurs in some people, because it is a small probability event , It has been a long time since the awakening of the sky in the human body has happened.

Bella is not just an ordinary human being, she is a sinner imprisoned in a cage that does not see the light of day. When such an ordinary person who commits all kinds of crimes awakens his blood, it also triggers an internal conflict for Sky City. Bella is a human being. It needs redemption, but as a sky person, should she have the right to study and live.

After all, the awakening rate of the skymen has been getting lower and lower in recent years. Every skyman is an object that the sky city should protect. The skymen stationed in the dungeon found that Bella had awakened and reported it to the church. She was urgently removed from the underground overnight Taking away from the city, the holy doctor of the church accidentally noticed that her blood aura was very close to Masefield when checking the awakened state of Sky One.

Masefield was Heidi's family. As an ancient and powerful family, they had enough curiosity about this new bloodline.

Bella beside Heidi was very quiet, in stark contrast to Heidi's twittering, her gentle smile looked very soft, Lin Huaimeng responded to Heidi's words, but her eyes couldn't help but focus on her.
