The next day, when Conan passed by Xia Xi's house after school, he found that the door on the first floor was open.

Conan was a little curious about what kind of store Sister Xia Xi was going to open. The sign hadn't been hung up yet, and from the outside only four or five tables could be seen, with some vegetables blocking the door. It seemed to be a restaurant.

He walked into the open door and saw Sister Xia Xi, who was cleaning. In addition, there was another girl in the store, she was wearing a simple cheongsam, with short hair and two small braids tied at the back.

At this time, she noticed a child suddenly appeared in the store. She put down her work and ran to Conan, "Little brother, how did you come in? We are not open yet. If you want to eat, you can come the day after tomorrow. I guarantee you will be satisfied then."

"I know Sister Xia Xi. I saw the door was open and came in to take a look." Conan noticed the calluses on the girl's hands in front of him, "Sister, are you a chef?"

Xiangling: "Yes, sister, I am best at cooking all kinds of dishes. But how did you know this, little brother? Did Xia Xi tell you?"

Conan smiled confidently, "No, I knew it from the location of the callus on your left hand. The callus on a chef's hand is usually located on the inside of the left thumb, which is caused by frequently pinching the pot. I saw that you have calluses in the same position on your left hand, so I guessed that you might be a chef. I didn't expect that I guessed it right. Haha."

Conan tried to make up for it in the end, but... "Sister, the calluses on your right hand seem to be caused by holding something long. Can you tell me what it is?" Maybe he really couldn't think of what situation could cause such calluses on the right hand, so he could only ask the person himself directly.

Xiang Ling stretched out her hands and looked at them. She still didn't know how the little brother figured it out. But in response to his question, "It's a kitchen knife. I often use a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, which is why it looks like this."

"Oh~Is that so." Is that so? Conan was still a little confused, but he couldn't think of any other explanation.

When Xia Xi saw that Xiangling and Conan had finished their conversation, she stepped forward and gave a brief introduction.

"So you are the smart elementary school student that Xia Xi mentioned." So you really are the Death God elementary school student, and you look quite cute. Xiangling reached out and touched Conan's head.

"Hello, Sister Xiangling." Conan greeted her politely. He couldn't avoid Xiangling's hand and could only stand there and let Xiangling touch him enough before letting go.

As soon as he let go, Conan immediately took a few steps away from Xiangling and walked in front of Xia Xi, "Sister Xia Xi, are you going to open a restaurant?"

"Yes, Xiangling is my friend. She's a good cook, especially good at spicy dishes. She just came here and didn't know what to do. My first floor is empty, so I can open a restaurant for her." Then he thought of something, approached Conan and invited him with a smile, "Conan, we're about to open a store. Before we open the store, Xiangling has a few special dishes she wants to try. Can I invite you, Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and the others to come and taste them tomorrow? Of course, it's all free."

"Ah? Of course, I'll talk to Yuanta and the others tomorrow, they will definitely agree." Haha, they won't refuse the chance to taste delicious food for free. But Conan looked at Xia Xi's smile and felt that something was wrong.

After the agreement, Conan also said goodbye and left, and Xia Xi also breathed a sigh of relief - finally found someone to share Xiangling's special dishes with her. Xiangling's dishes are indeed delicious, but her innovative special dishes... well... can only be said to be too special, not everyone can accept them.

Although it is not nice to drag children into the water, if you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Alas, we can only sacrifice them.

The next day soon arrived. Yuantai and the others were very excited when they knew that Sister Xia Xi was going to treat them to a free food taste. Especially Yuantai, he kept talking about it the whole day.

As soon as school was over, they couldn't wait to get to the restaurant.

Yuan Tai looked at Conan's unhurried movements and urged him, "Conan, hurry up, delicious food is waiting for us."

Conan was puzzled: "There's no need to be so anxious, Sister Xia Xi and the others will definitely be waiting for us."

Yuan Tai: "I can't wait. I wonder what delicious food there is."

Mitsuhiko: "Yeah, I wonder what kind of special dishes they are."

When they arrived at the restaurant, Conan and his friends found a table against the wall and sat down.

They didn't have to wait too long, and soon Xiangling's dish was served.

Conan looked at the dishes and fell silent for a moment. Even Yuantai, a child who always talked about eating, didn't dare to eat the colorful dishes immediately.

Xiangling didn't notice their unusual silence and enthusiastically explained the names and methods of these special dishes to the little guests.

She first pointed to the only dish whose ingredients could be seen and introduced it - although Conan and the others would rather not see the ingredients, "This is a charcoal grilled lizard. Although it looks a bit ugly, the lizard was specially selected to be edible, and seasoned with pepper and salt, and slightly grilled on the charcoal fire to retain some of its original flavor.

Lu, cough, Xia Xi said after eating it that it tastes a bit like chicken, but I think it is still a little different from chicken, and it is chewier than chicken. (The taste is made up by myself)

"Oh, stop staring at it and try it." Xiangling urged.

Conan and the others knew that Sister Xia Xi had actually tasted this dish, and they looked at her with admiration. But this also made them feel relieved, at least this dish should taste okay. In addition, Sister Xiangling looked at them with expectation, Yuantai and the others really couldn't say no, and could only put the dishes into their mouths one by one with their eyes closed.

"How is it? How does it taste?" Xiangling asked expectantly.

Hey! It tastes pretty good. Conan found that the taste was not as terrible as he imagined, but it was quite delicious, and it did taste a bit like chicken. But when he opened his eyes and saw the ingredients, he still had no appetite for this dish.

"It tastes good!" Yuan Tai praised after tasting it.

Ayumi: "It's a little salty, but it goes well with the ingredients, and it doesn't taste fishy at all." She opened her eyes and looked at the food on the plate, her voice lowered, "It's just that the ingredients are a little scary."

Guangyan agreed, "It tastes good, but the appearance of the dish is indeed a problem. The terrible appearance of the ingredients will also reduce the customer's appetite." Guangyan tried to give some suggestions, "Sister Xiangling, you don't have to serve the whole lizard directly to the table. Instead, grill it and cut off some of the meat and serve it on a separate plate. This way, you can't see the raw ingredients."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Xiangling nodded, "I'll think of a solution later."

Then she began to introduce the second dish——

Colorful glazed pancakes.
