Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

The plan seemed to be progressing too smoothly. After a moment's hesitation, Christina agreed to Alex's proposal. Of course, Alex did not forget to say goodbye to Osarino:

"Sir Osarino, I have to go and take care of the little problem Christina is having. However, if you encounter any difficulties in the future and I can help you, I will be happy to do so."

Osarino also politely responded to Alex's farewell remarks.

So Alex and Christina went to the bar together and asked the person in charge of drinks and mixing for specific materials and utensils, which included a cup of ice cubes, a stack of sliced ​​lemons, a small cup of sparkling wine and light cream. Egg yolks and egg whites were not prepared here, so these ingredients were omitted. Finally, Alex also asked for two small wine glasses, a shaker and a strainer.

He laid out the ingredients in front of Christina and said, "Try it. I'll see what's wrong."

So Christina picked up the sparkling wine and was about to pour it into the shaker. Alex saw this and quickly stopped her: "Wait, wait...Okay, I think I know why you always fail."

Christina looked confused and asked, "What's wrong? Uncle Alex, is there anything wrong with me doing this?"

"Well... Christina, how about I instruct you to do it once first, and if you succeed, you can do it again on your own, how about that?"

If Howard or Cecil were here, they would have noticed something was wrong. The progress was too smooth, so smooth that it seemed as if this man named Alex knew the entire plan and was deliberately cooperating.

But unfortunately, Howard could only watch the two of them from a distance of about 20 meters. He could not hear the content of their conversation at all, so he could not warn Christina.

Just then, Howard felt a slight vibration from the stair railing he was leaning on. He looked in the direction of the vibration and found that it was Cecil. He came back and brought him a plate of food.

Cecil also leaned casually next to Howard, putting a bread stick dipped in garlic butter into his mouth and said:

"Oh? Christina has already led that guy to the drinks counter. Looks like the plan went well?"

Howard just nodded to Cecil and continued looking in the original direction, because he had to respond to possible emergencies at any time.

In front of Alex, Christina didn't notice any problems at all. She might even be feeling happy about the smooth progress of the plan, so of course she agreed to Alex's suggestion to guide her.

"First, put half a cup of ice cubes in the shaker... Okay, that's great. Then, use a wine glass to pour three cups of liqueur into it, and then use another wine glass to pour two cups of light cream into it. If you like coffee, you can add another cup of coffee when you mix it later... Very good. Then, cover the shaker and shake it thoroughly for about fifteen seconds."

After opening the shaker and putting on the strainer, Christina finally poured out a perfectly uniform milky white liquid.

"Really? It worked!" Christina's eyes lit up, and she unconsciously rubbed the ring on her hand. "I didn't expect it to be so simple. It seems I've been doing it wrong all along."

"Oh! I remember, there is one last step, which is to add a few drops of lemon juice and put in a pickled olive. Uncle Alex, am I right this time?" Christina said again.

Alex: "Of course."

So Christina picked up a slice of lemon, squeezed a few drops of juice into the liqueur, and then used a skewer to pick up the pickled olives on the plate next to her and put them into the wine.

Then Alex asked the bartender for new utensils and said to Christina, "Now, try it yourself."

So two minutes later, the second glass of wine was ready.

"Uncle Alex." Christina pushed the second glass of wine to Alex. "This glass of wine is for your health."

Alex picked up the wine, first put it to his nose and sniffed it, then commented, "The smell is very soft. I believe it must taste good."

But then he put the wine down again, gave Christina a slightly apologetic smile and said, "But I'm sorry, Christina, I can't drink this glass of wine now."

"Ah? Why?" Christina showed a puzzled expression.

"Because today is the last day of my fast," Alex replied. "What a coincidence, Christina. To demonstrate my piety to the Emperor, I fast at this time of year. I only eat one meal a day, and that's limited to minimally baked bread and water... But don't despair, can't we meet again in three days? Then I'll be sure to carefully taste your work, and I also have new dishes to teach you."

"But...but..." Christina was even more confused: "But when you were talking to Osarino before, you were clearly holding a glass of wine in your hand, and you spilled it on yourself and Osarino."

"That's just for ambiance. Otherwise, I'd look a bit weird showing up here without any wine in my hand." Alex smiled and continued to explain, "Think back, I've never actually drunk wine from a glass, right?"

If Howard heard this, he would probably reply: Well, it turns out that all the wine in your glass is just for spilling.

After being rejected by Alex, Christina knew that she couldn't get him to drink the wine, but she still raised her glass and said, "I know, you can't drink, but I can toast to you. I wish you good health, Uncle Alex."

As she spoke, she slowly hid one hand behind her back.

"Wait a minute, Christina." But Alex still stopped her: "I don't recommend you drink the glass of wine in your hand."

Christina was startled, then managed to remain calm and asked, "Why is that?"

"Look." Alex took the wine glass from Christina while she was still stunned, shaking it slightly. "This is the wine you first made. It's been a while now, and you can see it's already showing some slight stratification and sedimentation. This is also a point where mistakes can easily go wrong. It must be consumed as soon as possible after making it, otherwise it will go bad. Not only will the taste be greatly reduced, but drinking it may also cause physical discomfort."

On the other side, although Howard and Cecil could not hear the specific content of the conversation between Alex and Christina, they guessed that something might have happened from their actions and expressions. Especially Howard, he saw Christina hiding her hands behind her back, at an angle that Alex could not see but he could see clearly. This was clearly a preview of the backup plan.

Now, as long as Christina makes the agreed gesture, Howard will cut off the power and help Christina complete the assassination.
