"Liu Ye, why do you say that this barbecue restaurant is amazing?" Shi Lan asked, holding her cheek in her right hand, looking at the sparse pedestrians walking by on the street outside the window.

"You'll know when the food comes in. Liu Ye smiled faintly, his eyes drifted to the back kitchen, the kitchen of this store was just behind the counter, and the door was covered with a cloth curtain.

"Hmph, it's a mystery. Shilan gave him a blank look.

"Two, this is your meal, please use it slowly. A chubby uncle walked up to the two of them with a few plates, a beer belly slightly bulging under the white chef's suit, a big beard, which looked like a thick brush, bouncing and bouncing as soon as he spoke, and his hair was coated with shiny hairspray, and combed back one by one obediently. His eyebrow bones are slightly protruding, his eyes are big and round, and the most special thing is his eyebrows, one black and one white, all black and all white, no variegation at all.

"Wow!" Seeing the uncle's appearance, Shilan covered her mouth in surprise.

"Uncle, do you remember me?" asked Liu Ye, gently hammering his round belly with his elbow by the way.

"Oh roar, Liu Ye, you haven't been here for almost a year. The uncle blinked, looked at him, turned his head to look at Shi Lan again, and then slapped his stomach with a smile, "Oh roar, you've finally opened your mind! It's been ten years, it's been ten years, House, I've finally waited for the day when you stupid boy figured it out." ”

He wiped his tears as he spoke, although Liu Ye was unmoved, because there was no tear in the corner of his uncle's eyes, but Shi Lan was so frightened that she quickly pulled out two napkins and stood up, stammering: "Big uncle, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry......"

"Okay uncle, don't scare her. Liu Ye slapped his beer belly hard, pulled the panicked Shilan to sit down again, and said, "Shilan, let me introduce you, he is the owner and chef of this restaurant, his name is Milhouse, a Nordic." Uncle, her name is Mu Shilan, it's mine, ......"

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, what should I say, I can't say that she is a magician, right?

"Master!" Shi Lan said hurriedly.

"Yes, Master. Liu Ye cleared his throat and said.

"Oh roar, master, master, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a husband. The uncle laughed and held his stomach and said things with a strange accent.

"......" Liu Ye squinted at him, this chubby chef is in his early fifties this year, and a lot of people are still so improper.

"Why are you here at this time, the day hasn't come yet. Suddenly, the uncle leaned into Liu Ye's ear and whispered.

"No, I'm just here for dinner today. Liu Ye gave him a blank look.

"What are you talking about?" Shi Lan leaned over, staring at Liu Ye with a pair of eyes blinking.

"I'll tell you in a moment, eat it quickly, you won't be able to appreciate the magic of this barbecue when it's cold. ”

"Huh?" Shi Lan heard this, and quickly picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth and chewed it, Liu Ye and the uncle both looked at her with a smile.

"Wow! delicious!" Shi Lan's eyes sparkled, "Uncle, why can beef make a shrimp-like texture without losing its original chewiness! And the spicy taste of black pepper just sets off the fresh aroma of beef! It's perfect!"

"Oh roar, this is an exclusive secret recipe~" The uncle smiled from ear to ear, and the chef's hat on his head smiled crookedly.

"Wow, can you teach me!" Shilan approached her uncle like a child and looked at him with pleading eyes.

"How can there be any exclusive secret recipe," Liu Ye secretly pursed his lips, "Isn't it just roasting in a daze......"

"Oh roar, just because you can't learn doesn't mean she can't. The uncle smiled and patted the top of Liu Ye's head, "Liten jente, little girl, your name is Shilan, right? Come, let's go to the back kitchen, I'll bake it for you." ”

"Uh-huh!" Shi Lan nodded repeatedly, and the small furball attached to the top of the velvet hat swayed up and down.

She followed Uncle House into the back kitchen.

Liu Ye touched his nose, this scene is really familiar, eleven years ago when he was brought to this shop by Baili Ming for the first time, it was exactly the same as the current Shilan, but when he entered the back kitchen to observe the scene, he found that the uncle was completely blind roasting with his eyes closed, and he was turning over the meat on the grill board in a daze. Liu Ye thought that the uncle was unwilling to show the real exclusive secret recipe, but when he tasted it after baking, he found that the uncle's delicious taste was really baked in such a daze.

In the middle of the night, Shilan opened the curtain and walked out, with a small notebook in her hand, and said enthusiastically to the back kitchen while remembering: "Okay! I remember! Thank you, uncle!"

Liu Ye looked at her with his mouth wide open and said, "Have you learned? Is there really a secret recipe?

"Hmm!" Shilan nodded affirmatively, and then excitedly tucked the notebook into her coat pocket.

Liu Ye looked at her, and then at the curtain at the door of the back kitchen, and didn't know what to say for a while.

On the curtain, a cartoon big-eyed monkey is smiling and giving him a thumbs up.

"Ahh

After leaving the "Confused Barbecue", Liu Ye took Shilan to leave the West 10th District by subway, and came to the West 11th District, which is located at the extreme edge of the west of Boyun City, which is one of the two largest commercial districts in the city, and the other is the East 11th District, which is the easternmost part of the city.

The two walked a lot of roads in the city together, Liu Ye slowly had a few more large and small bags in his hands, and Shi Lan jumped and ran in front of him like a cheerful deer. In the fading night, the two of them got on the driverless city bus together, walked from dusk to night, and observed the lovely appearance of the city's lights, which is a unique scenery in the business district.

In front of the Liberty Island Seaside Park, the two got out of the car, Shi Lan's eyes sparkled at the 100-meter-high Ferris wheel by the sea, Liu Ye followed her with a smile carrying three or five bags, and couldn't help but sigh when she saw the long line at the door. It was almost twelve o'clock when he finally lined up to sit on the Ferris wheel, Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, put down the seven or eight bags he was carrying, and sat down face to face with Shilan. I saw her excitedly lying on the glass and looking at the boundless sea, the hot breath exhaled from her mouth condensed into fine small water droplets, forming a faint mist on the glass.

"Your first time riding the Ferris wheel?" Liu Ye asked softly.

"Yes, yes, yes. Shi Lan turned her head to look at him and said very seriously, "I have been staying in Century Dawn since I was a child, and it is rare for me to go to the city. But I've learned to be proficient in all kinds of electronic devices!"

Liu Ye smiled, she regarded this as something worth showing off.

"There's a question I've always wanted to ask, is the Century Dawn Headquarters in the same space as our current world?

"Yes, yes...... It can also be said that it is not. Shi Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "There is a layer of enchantment on the outside of the villa, so that ordinary people can't see the real situation inside, and they can't enter, and magicians all over the world gather to do this." As for potions, they all come with innate arrays, so most of the places where they grow have natural enchantments that ordinary people can't find. ”

"Oh, I see. Liu Ye nodded thoughtfully.

"Wow! what's that!" Shi Lan suddenly shouted.

Liu Ye followed her line of sight and looked out, and the grand fireworks show began, with all kinds of gorgeous flowers blooming in the dark night sky, like a skilled painter painting in watercolors on the curtain.

"Fireworks, every year, the fireworks show on New Year's Day, which lasts for ten minutes. Liu Ye glanced at his watch, eleven fifty, since the energy problem was solved sixty years ago, this kind of thing that was once thought to pollute the atmosphere has gradually flourished again.

"It's so beautiful...... Shi Lan's mouth opened slightly, colorful fireworks were reflected in her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Do you like it very much?" Liu Ye turned his head to look at her, his shoulder-length hair as bright as outside the window.

"I like it!" Shilan nodded vigorously.

"Then," Liu Ye looked out the window and said very lightly, "Let's do it again next year." ”

"Yes, yes. ”

"Hah-yawn. The fireworks had just ended when they got off the Ferris wheel, and the two of them stretched out in unison.

"Let's go back. ”

"Good. Shi Lan inadvertently glanced at Liu Ye's hands, "Eh, what about those bags?"

"Hmm......" Liu Ye was sleepy-eyed and looked at his empty hands in a daze.

"Ahh

"Hahaha. Shilan covered her mouth and smiled and bent over.

After the two got on the bus around the city, Liu Ye sighed, he finally recovered those packages, if he lost them, he really didn't have any extra money to buy them again for a while.

Liu Ye looked at the car, there were not many people, almost all of them were couples, or chatting quietly, or snuggling up to each other and falling asleep, which was a very unfriendly scene for single people.

"Hey, Shi Lan, what is Uncle's secret recipe?" Liu Ye leaned into Shi Lan's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Well, I won't tell you. Shi Lan rolled her eyes, twisted her neck, and said.

"Hey, tell me, I've known that uncle for eleven years, and I told him he wouldn't be angry. ”

"No, the uncle said that he could only tell the destined person. ”

"Destined people...... That guy is a Nordic and still engages in this ......" Liu Ye was a little speechless.

Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't take you to see the fireworks next year-"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Shi Lan immediately looked at Liu Ye pitifully when she heard it, and whispered: "Actually, actually...... It's not that I can't tell you ......"

"Uh-huh. Liu Ye nodded solemnly.

"It's about dividing the meat into layers and grilling it when grilling, and using magic to control the temperature of each layer so that the meat is just right tender, and when it's time to sprinkle the seasoning......"

"What are you talking about!" Liu Ye shouted, causing the whole car to look at the two of them.

Shi Lan was stunned by his reaction, and blinked at a loss.

Liu Ye apologized to the other passengers with a smile, and then lowered his voice and said to Shi Lan, "You just said, magic?"

"Yes, Uncle is a magician. Whew!" Shi Lan gasped, she remembered that Liu Ye had only been exposed to magic until three months ago.

Liu Ye only felt that the world was spinning, and the scenes from ten years ago appeared in front of him again......
