Robot K

31. on the road

After everything was ready, the two finally set off. Kristen was driving the car, and Hailey was the co-pilot flipping through the map in his brain, which marked the places, scenery, specialty products and other information they would pass along the way.

The two of them didn't plan to fly there immediately, but traveled all the way there. On the one hand, treating the mission as a journey made them feel better. On the other hand, they would be in the state of tourists, and entering the town would reduce suspicion.

From Hailey's home to a small town on the southeast coast, the road will pass through three or four provinces. When Hailey encounters a place of interest, he will ask to stop and have a look. Of course, Kristen has no objection.

One evening, they came to Spring City, a city that was once civilized with spring water, although most of the springs here had already dried up.

The two drove into the city, wanting to find a place to have dinner first, when they smelled a fragrance, the two went there and found it was a small pie shop.

Hailey immediately directed Kristen to pull over, then got out of the car and rushed into the shop. When Kristen came in, she saw that Hailey was asking the robot at the counter to help her order. Looking at the posture, it meant to taste every kind of stuffing.She walked to Hailey with a smile and said, "If you order so much, you won't be able to eat."

"You can take it away, don't you think the smell is particularly fragrant?"

"It's very fragrant." Kristen agreed, and didn't say anything more.

But the robot on the opposite side didn't do what Hailey wished. It mechanically and politely pointed to the sign on the wall that they ignored and said, "Sorry, customers, this store has a limited purchase, and each person can order up to two cakes."

Hailey looked at the sign on the wall in surprise. She did not pay attention when she rushed in, but who would have thought that a cake shop would limit purchases?

"Can I ask why?" Hailey asked curiously.

"This has always been the rule in the store. It's been like this since the beginning of the store. Please forgive me." At this time, a chubby middle-aged man came from behind the counter and explained with a smile.

Hailey didn't go any further, obviously the other party didn't want to explain to her either.Fortunately, there are two of them, and they can order four pancakes, but Kristen doesn't eat them, she can't eat them herself, so she can take them away.

Kristen helped her order pies, side dishes and soup, and found a seat by the window. Hailey came back after washing her hands, picked up the pie and wanted to bite, but Kristen stopped her quickly and said, "Be careful."

She took the plate and cut the cake into several pieces so that it could dissipate heat as quickly as possible. Then she handed over the already filled soup and said, "Drink the soup first, the temperature is just right."

Hailey obediently took a sip of the soup, then stared at the pie.When Kristen handed her the plate, she couldn't wait to pick up the stuffed beef and green onion and eat it. After a few mouthfuls, she felt full, and then she said, "I don't know how to make this pancake, even The skins are delicious."

"You can ask the boss."

"How good is this? This is a commercial secret. They even limit the sales, let alone the formula."

Kristen smiled and said nothing, as long as it was something Hailey liked, she would always find a way to get it.

After Hailey had eaten and drank enough, the two found a nearby hotel to stay. While Hailey was taking a shower, Kristen said to go out and be back soon.She went back to the bakery, hacked into the optical brain to find the recipe, and she quickly found it.Then she observed the production process by the way, and then returned to the hotel.

Hailey came out wiping her hair just in time to see her enter the door.

"Did you go to that bakery?" Hailey asked slightly surprised.

"How do you know?" Kristen asked even more surprised.

"You have a strong cake aroma, stronger than before." Hailey replied naturally.

Kristen was speechless, a foodie with a keen sense of smell, no wonder she knew where she was going in an instant.She had no choice but to confess her crime. She thought Hailey would blame her, but Hailey just smiled and said to her, thank you.

"You don't think I did something wrong?" Hailey asked, taking the towel and drying her hair.

"Although it's not right, it can't be called wrong. You are making it for me, and you are only allowed to make it for me. This is not considered stealing trade secrets, and they will not suffer losses." Hailey replied with a smile, and at the same time Enjoy a delicate head massage.

Kristen smiled, combed Hailey's hair gently with her fingers, and said on the top of her head: "Of course it's only for you to eat."

The two laughed for a while, Kristen projected the recipe, pointed to one place and said, "Their other ingredients are nothing special, but the technique is more unique, except here."

Hailey took a closer look, there was an X symbol there, looked back at Kristen suspiciously, and said, "This is their secret weapon?"

"It should be, but I have observed their pie-making process, and I don't see any extra things added in that link."

Hailey looked at Kristen and said, "Let it be, if you can't find it, forget it, no matter how good it is, it's just a cake." She didn't really care about it, it was just the recipe that Kristen got back specially, and she didn't want to disappoint her.

Kristen also accepted with a smile, it wasn't a serious matter in the first place.She walked towards the bathroom with a towel, and Hailey said behind her: "There is water on the floor of the bathroom, it's not dry yet, be careful."

Kristen paused, turned around suddenly, looked at Hailey and said, "Water." Seeing Hailey's dazed look, she continued, "It's water, there is no water in the formula, it's too common and I ignored it, that X should represent water."

"Water? Their water is special?" Hailey asked suspiciously.

"Now that I think about it, it's a bit special. They don't get their water from a pipe, but from a container." Kristen became more and more sure that the secret of the bakery is water, and she decided to check it out again later.

In the early morning of the next day, Hailey dimly felt movement around her. She rubbed her eyes and woke up, and saw Kristen standing by the bed holding her clothes, and said with a smile, "Do you want to go on an adventure?"

"What adventure?" Hailey was still a little confused.

"I found that the people from the bakery went out with a jar of water. I have released a small flying saucer to follow. Do you want to go and have a look together?"

Hailey woke up immediately, got up and said, "Of course I'm going, even if it's not for making pancakes, I want to know why they are so mysterious." After speaking, she quickly rushed to the bathroom to wash up, and when she came out, her clothes were neatly arranged on the bed. Breakfast is on the table.
