Hodden didn't expect to meet the dean of St. Cray's College, Professor Decimus, here.

But if you think about it, the deep impression of the first meeting at the beginning seems to be not so surprising at this time.

The bigger surprise should be that Professor Desimas actually remembers Hörden?

"Mr. Helo. Professor Desimas called out Holden's name again, blinked quickly, faintly hinting at a little panic, and put his hands behind his back in a lightning-fast gesture, trying to hide the two packets of candy in his hands.

"Remember to check out, Professor Decimas. A smile flowed from Heddon's eyes, and without hesitation, he directly punctured Professor Desimas's little trick.

Professor Desimas was slightly stunned, his eyes rolling as if he were thinking of a way out—as if he were a thief and had been caught by the shopkeeper. But the problem is that this is obviously not the case, and the professor is really hard to figure out.

"That's the latest fruit candy to be introduced, and you can taste real juice. Holden pretended not to see Professor Decimas's expression and continued to dismantle the diorama, "If you prefer to taste the flesh, you can try this, which is also a signature of Lady Joanna." ”

As he spoke, Hodden skillfully found his target, grabbed a few and put them in his palm, and showed them to Professor Decimas, "But personally, I still recommend the fruit juice candy, at the end of the tasting, the juice slowly seeps out, not only fresh but also rich, between the sugar cubes can suck those juices, and the rich layers open up layer by layer on the taste buds, as if opening the door to a whole new world." ”

Goo.

Professor Desimas couldn't hold back and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his slightly shaky beard revealing secrets, and his glowing eyes didn't help.

"Looks like you know a lot about this place, is this your shop?" Professor Desimas simply gave up covering up and took his hands out from behind his back, and could see the mint green packaging at a glance, "Is this really that delicious?"

"You can try it. It wasn't Hodden who spoke, but the real owner, Lady Joanna, whose voice came from behind.

Ms. Joanna is a middle-aged woman about forty years old, slightly fat, but her long, slightly curly burgundy hair is tied back with a [new] hair band, scattered and casually drooping over her shoulders, exuding a mature woman's charm, simple but moving, and her shallow smile is particularly infectious.

She always likes to wear dark long skirts, with wide sleeves and cumbersome coats, which are relatively light to work on, and are not afraid of getting dirty.

Today, Ms. Joanna chose a bright yellow clem tiara, with two crystal clear wings flapping gently with the movement of her footsteps, fluttering her wings, which can also make guests clearly feel the lightness and vitality of their steps.

Professor Desimas turned to look at Ms. Joanna, a shallow smile on her round face, "It's permissible to try a candy. ”

Ms. Joanna expertly gestured to Holden's jaw, "Here it comes." Then he looked at Professor Desimas and explained, "He's my partner." ”

"Ms. Joanna. Hodden shook his head a little helplessly—Lady Joanna always liked to make fun of him, because he visited so often.

Ms. Joanna didn't care, "I'm telling the truth. He's always coming to help me try new products and give me a lot of pertinent ideas to improve the taste of each product, isn't that a partner, or what?" Ms. Joanna winked at Hodden, a smile streaming down her eyes.

Professor Desimas was no longer inhibited, and looked at Hoden with curiosity, "So, can you really eat juice in it?"

Hadden nodded at the dean, "Each candy hides a different juice, but what it tastes like is something to test your luck." Personally, I like the astragalus fruit the most, after the sweet and sour taste seeps out, the most layered and three-dimensional. ”

As he spoke, Hodden swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Professor Desimas couldn't hold back, opening a piece of candy and throwing it into his mouth.

As he tasted, Professor Desimas looked at Ms. Joanna, "Can you tell me about it?

"No, that is my most loyal partner. Lady Joanna said heartily, and then added to Hoden, "Please help, I still have a batch of trolos to bake, please taste the first one later." "There is no way to see it.

Hoden didn't shirk either, "Is Professor Desimas here for the first time?"

"Yes, I tasted candy yesterday at a friend's place, which is what you just said, pulp candy. Professor Decimus's eyes lit up immediately.

That look was all too familiar to Hoden.

"So, what flavor did you taste yesterday??," asked Hoden, expertly.

There is no such thing as the most delicious food, only the most suitable, because everyone's tastes and preferences are different, some people like sweet and some prefer sour, that's the truth, so instead of directly recommending his favorite snacks, Hoden asked Professor Desimas about his taste.

But the small details can be seen that Hoden knows the kinds of sweets that Ms. Joanna has here, and his confidence can be felt in his easy words, as if there are no sweets in this little candy house that he doesn't know.

"Aha. Professor Desimus had a cheerful look on his face, and he immediately understood what Hoden meant, and began to describe it in a twitter, completely devoid of inhibitions and pretensions.

In just twenty minutes, Professor Desimas was holding eight different kinds of snacks in his arms, one full of arms, almost overflowing, and at the same time tasting a piece of preserved fruit in his mouth, chewing with relish, stretching out affectionately, like an old naughty boy, it was really very satisfying.

"Professor Decimus, Lady Joanna and I have been discussing how to preserve food for longer. Hodden asked curiously, "The refrigeration circles we use now will destroy the structure of the food itself, and then affect the taste." ”

It's a normal discussion, with a calm and comfortable look, as if it's just discussing the topic of snacks, and then it expands.

But...... Is that really all there is to it?
