When I turn back into a man [Western Fantasy]

Unaware that he saved the lives of a group of cute little pigeons, Tong Zhan followed Luo Sen into the house.

The room was indeed much warmer than the outside. Although Tong Zhan was not afraid of the cold, he couldn't help but relax after entering the comfortable environment.

He sat on the soft sofa and looked at the surrounding decorations, and it was indeed in Lawson's style as always.

"Hey, there is actually a fireplace?" Tong Zhan saw the warm heat source in the room, and couldn't help taking a second look. This was the first time he saw what a real fireplace looked like.

Luo Sen came over with a cup of hot milk, handed it to Tong Zhan, and reminded by the way, "Be careful of scalding your mouth."

Then he glanced at the fireplace, "You like it very much?"

"Who doesn't like the heat in winter?"

After Tong Zhan finished speaking, he turned his head and was taken aback by the milk he suddenly handed in front of him. Then he realized that he took it in his hand, and his palm immediately became warm.

"Ah, thanks."

Lawson sat down beside him, "You're welcome, I just asked the chef to prepare dinner, will you have dinner here later?"

Tong Zhan reflexively wanted to refuse, and then remembered the last time he had a very pleasant dining experience, he nodded hesitantly, "Okay, I'm bothering you again."

He put some hot milk on the table, and happily went to open the shopping basket.

"Come, come, let you taste—"

He lifted the lid of the rattan basket, revealing the delicate pastries wrapped in layers of clean parchment paper, and the originally blocked fragrance also wafted away.

Hawkeye, who was hiding in the dark corner, moved his nose.

Tong Zhan opened three paper bags one by one, each of which contained six different pastries, and he introduced them to Luo Sen one by one.

"These three are our family's characteristic small desserts, namely mung bean cake, coconut balls and matcha cakes. Do you like sweets? Considering everyone's taste, I made half of the sweet and slightly sweet ones."

After Tong Zhan continued to toss out seven or eight complete recipes in the afternoon, he almost scoured all the ingredients in the storage room.

For those formulas with missing ingredients, we can only continue to find ways to find them later.

When he was almost done packing, he looked up at the time, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing that there was still more than an hour before the skill cooldown, I decided to try making some pastries first.

There are a lot of raw materials in the storage room. Tong Zhan picked three recipes at random. After getting all the ingredients, he ran to the back kitchen and borrowed a small cubicle from Sangers to start making pastries.

He first used his skills to make mung bean cakes, and the finished product naturally had nothing to say.

Not only did the whole set of 5 pieces come out in 100 minutes, but the taste was not picky at all.Let Tong Zhan judge by himself, if he is not afraid of getting tired, he can kill half of them in one go.

But his pursuit is to get rid of skills and bring them into reality, so every step of the operation has to be done by himself.

such as--

The system only needs raw materials such as mung beans, water, and sugar, and then throw them in and wait for 5 minutes to finish.

But in reality, he has to manually mash the mung beans, mix them with powdered sugar, and then find something to replace the steamer to set the shape.It also needs to be steamed in a pan, and then cut into pieces...

Fortunately, there are steamers and ovens in this world, otherwise he would have to find ways to get these two necessary big tools.

Even so, he also found that in the process of making the three pastries himself, in addition to the lack of raw materials, he also lacked a lot of molds.

But this is a small problem, just go to a craftsman to customize it later.

Of course, the final result is still very gratifying.

The recipe produced by the system is very detailed. Tong Zhan concentrates on making it step by step according to the recipe steps. The mixing ratio is meticulous, and the steaming time is not less than one second.

Wait until the end of the pot, lightly put a touch of red on each piece of mung bean cake...

Then you're done.

Tong Zhan took a piece and tasted it. The taste was soft and sweet but not greasy. If the product produced by the system can score 100 points, then he should have 90 points for this one.

So he tried two other kinds, coconut balls and matcha cakes, and the finished products were also very satisfying to him.

But when Tong Zhan wanted to ask Sangers to try the food, Sangers was already busy for dinner.

He each left a copy in the kitchen and told Sangers to try it when he was free.

Then I found a shopping basket and packed three copies, and went to find Lawson at the point where the skill cooldown was on.

"Sweet or not, I can accept it."

Luo Sen looked at the three pastries spread out in front of him and found that there were no tableware, so he immediately ordered the attendant who had returned from letting the pigeons go, "Bring two tableware."

Tong Zhan, who just wanted to say that it would be good to just eat it with his hands: ...

Okay, he just came in with a basket and didn't wash his hands, it's not good to touch it directly with his hands...

He didn't realize that his carefree self had already begun to accept Lawson's attention from time to time, and he would subconsciously explain his behavior in his heart.

The waiter quickly brought over two small plates and two sets of knives and forks.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Tong Zhan took it and put two pieces of each of the three types of pastries with different sweetness on the plate, and then handed them to Luo Sen.

"Try it~"

His eyes were shining brightly, waiting for the compliment.

Luo Sen took the dinner plate, looked at his big and deep black pupils, and suddenly got a bad taste.

Teased him: "Speaking of which, your sister's cooking skills are also very superb. Your family still has cooking skills inherited? It doesn't mean that everyone in the clan is a chef."

Tong Zhan didn't expect him to say such a sentence suddenly, he was almost stunned, and quickly explained, "No, no."

He laughed dryly, "Maybe my sister and I have inherited stronger genes, but our culinary skills are better haha..."

Lawson complimented, "I see, it seems that your parents are very good people."

Tong Zhan was startled, and his mood dimmed.

He pursed his lips, "My parents...they are both dead."

Luo Sen didn't expect that Tong Zhan's words would suddenly pop up, the smile stopped at the corner of his mouth, and he said after a while: "Sorry, I mentioned your sadness."

But Tong Zhan has already adjusted, "It's okay, it all happened a long time ago."

And it's long gone.

Lawson wanted to touch his face, but felt that this would be inappropriate.

So he forked a piece of mung bean cake and held it in front of Tong Zhan in a gesture that was very inconsistent with his usual behavior.

"Take a bite of something sweet and you will feel better."

The mung bean cake suddenly appeared in front of him. Tong Zhan was stunned. He felt that it was too bold to swallow it in one bite, so he opened his mouth and bit half of it.

Just right the sweeter piece.

The sweet taste has been melting into the heart, it seems to really brighten the mood a lot.

The smile on Luo Sen's face spread again. He looked at the mung bean cake that Tong Zhan had bitten off in half, and Shi Shiran put the remaining half into his mouth.

Well, the taste is very different from the cakes you usually eat, and it's not bad.

And... really sweet.

Tong Zhan only chewed it twice, and saw that he then ate the mung bean cake he had bitten without paying attention.

His eyes widened, he almost choked to death, and immediately took a big gulp of the warm milk that had been set aside.

Suppressed.

Isn't this person fastidious and fuzzy?

How could he eat the rest of his food, he must be hallucinating, Tong Zhan tried very hard to convince himself.

Luo Sen didn't notice Tong Zhan's shock, but slowly tasted the delicate and long texture of mung bean cake, and then tried other cakes one by one.

This time, he evenly cut into small pieces with a knife and fork, and then put it in his mouth very elegantly.

After carefully feeling each pastry, he nodded and gave high praise without hesitation.

"Excellent, unique texture and perfect taste."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Tong Zhan, "Nowadays it is popular for nobles to drink afternoon tea. Your dim sum goes well with those overly bitter teas, especially those noble ladies and young ladies. I think they will like it very much."

"So if you guessed correctly, you plan to open a store using this new type of dim sum as a product?"

Tong Zhan immediately put his behavior behind him and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this kind of dim sum is called Chinese pastry, and it is a very ancient food handed down from our family."

"I know hundreds of recipes here, and I can innovate and add them later. Not only are they rich in variety, delicate in taste, but also very nutritious, suitable for all ages..."

He, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

How come this habit is still the same as when the little guy grew up?

After Tong Zhan introduced the various advantages of Chinese pastries, he changed the subject at the end and said that due to the shortage of ingredients, there are only less than forty kinds of all the recipes.

"Most of the remaining recipes are missing one or two important ingredients in the raw materials. This needs to be found in the market later, but I will try my best to get it together."

After Tong Zhan finished speaking, he showed him an incomplete formula as an example.

Lawson had never heard of the names of the missing ingredients he mentioned, and they did not belong to his knowledge.

So he said: "In terms of ingredients, I can help you buy all the plants and fruits sold in the market first. You can also issue mercenary missions according to the characteristics of other ingredients you need, and the collection will be faster."

"If you really can't find anything, then you can only take your time."

After all, the mainland is not small, and there are many sparsely populated places. There is no guarantee that there will be what Tong Zhan needs.

Tong Zhan said that there is no problem at all!

Sure enough, money can solve all difficulties hehehe~

He said confidently: "I have a hunch that after the pastry shop opens, it will definitely make a lot of money!"

It means that the boss, you can rest assured that you invest in the shares and guarantee that you will not lose money.

How could Luo Sen be worried about such things, but seeing Tong Zhan being so active, he also echoed: "Well, I believe you too."

Tong Zhan talked a lot and felt a little dry, so he took the remaining milk and drank it down.

When he put down the cup, the mark on his mouth became more obvious.

Lawson couldn't stand it anymore, and leaned over to hold his shoulder.

"do not move--"

Tong Zhan:?

A handkerchief suddenly appeared in Luo Sen's hand, and his thumb rubbed against the outer edge of Tong Zhan's lips through a thin layer of fabric, and wiped it down along the white edge.

Tong Zhan was suddenly touched by him on the mouth, subconsciously raised his head, and the tip of his nose swept to a soft spot.

Realizing that it was Luo Sen's mouth, he didn't dare to move for a moment, and let him move on his mouth.

"All right."

Luo Sen didn't mind at all that his lips touched Tong Zhan's nose just now, but he was satisfied that he was attached to the sweet and milky scent of the man in front of him.

He even felt that it would be better if he could spread his breath all over the opponent's body.

"You're such an adult, why don't you pay attention?"

Luo Sen's deep bass sounded in Tong Zhan's ears. He felt a little stuffy, so he moved his buttocks away from the fireplace.

Now that he has realized what Lawson was doing just now, he said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, just remind me, I can wipe it off myself."

Damn, it made him really look like a child who couldn't take care of himself.

Lawson smiled naturally, "It's just a matter of convenience."

At this time, the attendant who had consciously disappeared for a long time came forward cautiously to interrupt, "Sir, dinner is ready."

Luo Sen folded up the used handkerchiefs, stood up and said to Tong Zhan, "Then let's eat first, and then discuss how to open the store after eating."

Tong Zhan naturally had no objection.

Then the two had another pleasant dinner together, and Luo Sen, who was still full of gentleman, made Tong Zhan feel that the previous bully king was about to be different from him.

After dinner, the two moved to the study room to continue discussing and teaching.

Lawson didn't make any small moves, just maintaining a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.

Although he usually doesn't talk much, but he has a good grasp of chatting skills, and in front of him is the person he is willing to chat with, so the two chatted for a long time, and Tong Zhan was always in high spirits.

In the end, Luo Sen reminded him that it was getting late, and Tong Zhan came back to his senses.

This surprised him.

After all, he always felt that Lawson was a type of person who didn't talk too much. He didn't know that chatting could be so easy and fun.

But it was indeed late for the meeting, so Tong Zhan took the initiative to get up and leave.

He thought about the cooling time of his skills, so he explained to Lawson in advance that he had to research new pastries during the day, and he might not be able to come here until this point in the evening.

Lawson: "You're very welcome, I'll have the chef prepare dinner every day."

Tong Zhan: ...

Why does it sound like he's here for dinner?Although the chef Lawson hired is really good...

He coughed lightly, "Then see you tomorrow."

Lawson smiled slightly, "See you tomorrow."

So in the next few days, Tong Zhan tried to make several new pastries during the day, and when he was free, he went out to wander the streets to see if he could find any new ingredients.

In the afternoon, he changed back to a large size, happily ran to Lawson's place for a meal, oh no, to gain experience.

After tasting the pastries he made, Sangers praised them again and again, saying that the pastries made in a very different way taste very good.

This made Tong Zhan more confident and energetic.

Of course, what he doesn't know is that after several days of teaching, Lawson has already made a decision to open a store in the future, except for the process of product production, he will not be allowed to touch anything else.

If the store really wants to make money.

After almost a week like this, Tong Zhan has accumulated more than 150 complete recipes.

Moreover, the friendliness gradually climbed to the early 600s unconsciously, which made Tong Zhan feel better day by day.

These formulas were successfully collected, except for a small part that Tong Zhan found by wandering around, most of them were attributed to Luo Sen.

Sure enough, he ordered people to buy all kinds of vegetables, fruits and plants available in the market, and forcibly piled up the small garden into a vegetable market.

After Tong Zhan saw it, his heart was full of joy, and his impression of Luo Sen began to change greatly.

In this regard, Lawson, who is relentless in spending money, has only one feeling: he can spend more.

On this day, Tong Zhan came to Luosen with a pile of freshly made pastries as usual, because he rarely came early and the afternoon sun was still abundant.

Lawson then ordered someone to make a pot of tea and send it to the study, where he had afternoon tea with freshly baked pastries.

Regarding the opening of the pastry shop, Luo Sen already had a structure in mind. Unlike Tong Zhan's more down-to-earth ideas, he decided to directly push Tong Zhan's pastry shop to the upper-class aristocratic society headed by the capital.

At the same time, it is blooming everywhere in major cities in the mainland, and each city sets up a unique store, directly taking the high-end route.

But he hasn't explained this idea to Tong Zhan yet.

After all, Tong Zhan is still working towards the goal of getting 200 recipes, and he said that he will not consider opening a store if he is dissatisfied with 200 recipes.

Lawson naturally followed him in everything.

The sun at 03:30 in the afternoon is not so dazzling, but it is still warm and comfortable on the body.

Tong Zhan has apparently almost forgotten his identity as a mercenary these days, and is immersed in the role of Tong Da pastry chef and cannot extricate himself.

He lay on the lazy chair that Lawson had prepared for him, basking in the sun while researching how to add ingredients from this world to the already perfected formula.

At the desk less than one meter away, Luo Sen quietly looked at the sheepskin scroll in his hand, and from time to time glanced at Tong Zhan, who looked very relaxed in front of him, and the tenderness on his lips almost overflowed.

It is better to boil the frog in warm water slowly.

He lowered his head and chuckled, and was about to turn another page when a strange cry suddenly sounded in his heart.

The sound came out so urgently and abruptly that even Luo Sen, who has always been calm, was suddenly startled. The sheepskin scroll in his hand was lost for a moment, and fell to the table with a clatter, making a loud sound in the silent study. .

Still rocking the recliner, Tong Zhan, who was very relaxed and comfortable, was also startled suddenly, and immediately looked up.

Seeing that Lawson's face was not looking good, he asked vigilantly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Luo Sen frowned, and couldn't remember what it was calling for a moment. Before he could search for his memory, the second call came into his mind.

He had a flash of inspiration and remembered.

This is from the Forest of the Setting Sun!

Lawson immediately stood up, waved his right hand, and on the wall behind him, a huge space magic circle slowly emerged.

He said to Tong Zhan: "something unusual happened, you just wait here for me obediently, I will be back soon."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and strode into the magic circle shimmering with mysterious light.

"Oh, wait..."

Tong Zhan, who was still a little confused, stretched out his hand subconsciously, and happened to grab a corner of his clothes, and immediately felt a huge suction coming towards him.

He was led to stagger forward, but he didn't let go of his right hand, so he followed closely behind Luo Sen and passed through the magic circle at once.

However, because of the dazzling light and unstable center of gravity during the crossing process, he just came to another section of the magic circle when he fell to the ground with a snap.

Tong Zhan quickly stood up, patted the dirt and fallen leaves on his body, looked around awkwardly, and found that the surrounding environment looked familiar...

It turns out that this teleportation array is actually directly connected to the Sunset Forest?

When Luo Sen heard the sound, he looked back and saw that he was following. He was also taken aback for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows, "So you don't want to be separated from me so much?"

I told him to wait obediently, but he had to follow.

Tong Zhan:?

I am not I did not stop talking nonsense?

He was really unintentional, who knows that his body reaction was manipulated by some strange creature at that moment, and it was the correct operation to let go of his hand!

Luo Sen looked at his dumbfounded look and gave a low laugh, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "If that's the case, then go there with me and pay attention to your own safety."
