In June 1941, through the relationship between Zhongfa Bai, Le Yuan finally came to London, England after several turns, and was picked up by Zhongfa Bai's business friend Randolph Kemp to his manor in London after getting off the plane.
Along the way, Le Yuan looked at the people who were marching and asked, "Mr.
Kemp, did something big happen today, why did people come out to march?"
Randolph Kemp pointed to the parade flag and explained: "Dear Yuan, these people are protesting against the government's inaction, since the damn German Hitler's strategic bombing of London, the capital of the United Kingdom, this London has been bombed many times in most of the year, you see that even those buildings have not had time to be repaired" said and pointed at the bombed buildings around him.
"Hey, this German plane is so cruel, bombing for more than 76 days and nights, more than 430,000 citizens died, about 100,000 houses were destroyed, even my manor was affected, fortunately not in the center of the city, otherwise the damage would have been heavy."
Randolph Kemp's tone was gloomy.
Looking at the excited marchers outside the window, Le Yuan couldn't help asking: "What is the situation in the European battlefield now, is it a fierce fight?"
"The situation is not optimistic, since the German invasion of Poland began in 1939, this war has not stopped, Britain.
After France, Australia, and New Zealand declared war on Germany, Germany's aggression against Western Europe became even more brazen.
"We merchants hate war, but in the face of the German invasion, we strongly support the British in sending them back."
The current European theater of war needs a victory too much to break the myth of the invincibility of the German army and improve morale. ” As the car passed through the bustling city and the procession of the marchers drifted away, Randolph Kamp's voice grew louder in the carriage: "Last year was a year of shame, the Netherlands surrendered, Belgium surrendered, Norway surrendered, Paris was occupied by the Germans, and France had to hold its nose and sign an armistice.
Randolph Kemp said with a slap on the thigh, an indescribable anger in his tone.
"The successive defeats of Western Europe led Germany to target Britain.
This is how the German bombing of Britain began, and you can see the current situation of Britain now," Randolph Kamp asked, and then continued without waiting for Le Yuan's answer, "Just a few days ago this year, Yugoslavia and Greece also surrendered to Germany, and now the latest news indicates that Germany seems to be preparing for war against the Soviet Union, and I wonder if the Soviet Union can stop the German attack. ” The speed of the car slowed down a little, and gradually drove into an English-style manor.
As soon as Le Yuan got out of the car, he saw Randolph Camp enthusiastically introducing everyone in the family to Le Yuan, and then there was a not very delicious but good dinner for people in the middle of the war.
At night, in the slightly dimly lit study, Randolph Kemp was sitting on a chair and talking to Le Yuan face to face, "Dear Yuan, with all due respect, Europe is no more peaceful than China now, how could you have thought of coming to this foreign land thousands of miles away?"
Le Yuan replied: "Mr.
Kemp, I am also a semi-professional adventurer, and I have been very interested in Norse mythology recently, so after I got some news, I want to explore the truth of myths and legends myself."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be an adventurer like Indiana Jones, I really didn't see it.
But coming to Europe right now is really not a good choice.
"Although Germany now places the center of its attack on Britain and the Soviet Union, it is still very martial law in the occupied areas, and you may have a lot of trouble there." ” "It's alright, don't worry, Mr.
Kemp."
Le Yuan comforted, "I'm not a person who can play with my life for the sake of risk, I always try to do things with certainty, and besides, I'm not a spy or a rebel, I don't think the Germans will come to capture a harmless traveler like me for no reason." ” "Regarding the matter of adventure, I still hope you can think about it, as a friend of Shiro, you are also my friend, I don't want you to have an accident."
Randolph Kemp concluded.
Le Yuan stayed in Randolph Camp Manor for the time being, and usually went to the British Library to borrow books to find materials, and Randolph Camp couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Le Yuan didn't leave immediately.
One day, when Le Yuan borrowed the kitchen to make a special milk pudding for Randolph Camp to taste, Randolph Camp had the idea of opening a pastry shop with Le Yuan.
"Yuan, oh you are so versatile, I didn't expect you to be such a good cooker in addition to being an adventurer, the deliciousness of this pudding really intoxicates me.
I don't know if you'll be able to make other delicious pastries, but if we open a pastry shop together, it will be a big hit, maybe we can open it all over Europe.
Randolph Kemp said excitedly.
"Mr.
Kemp's goal is a bit small, and if I want to do it, I want to make it big, and if I want to do it, I want to open the pastry shop all over the world."
Le Yuan said with a smile.
"Na Yuan, you agreed to work with me."
Randolph Kemp's voice inevitably raised, only after eating the pastries made by Le Yuan, did he understand that there was such a delicious food in the world, if it wasn't for watching Le Yuan make it, he would even think that Le Yuan had put something in it.
"This store is not something that can be opened casually, the pastry chef, the store location, the store layout, the type and style of dim sum, and even the development direction plan, these are not something that can be decided in a while."
Le Yuan snapped his fingers and said.
"That's right, that's right, how can something so good start in a hurry, we have to have a plan first."
Randolph Kemp clapped his hands and said.
"Then I'll do the planning, after the plan is completed, Mr.
Kemp, you will be responsible for helping to implement the plan, but about the division of the store, when we have the plan finalized, how about it" Le Yuan looked into Randolph Kemp's eyes and said.
"Okay, if you can complete the planning of the pastry shop, then the shares and the like are slowly talking."
Randolph Kemp grinned and left.
Le Yuan, on the other hand, connected the relevant enterprise development model in his mind, and the planner was most suitable for the current development model.
Just when Le Yuan was looking up mythological materials and writing about the plan, the Soviet-German war broke out.
Although Britain was far from the Soviet-German battlefield, Britain was also affected by the war, and the faces of pedestrians in the city showed a sad face.

Mr.
Camp was shocked by Le Yuan's novel idea, from the training of pastry chefs to the maintenance of employee loyalty, to the confidentiality of key seasonings of dim sum recipes, as well as the development plan, if this detailed development plan is successfully implemented, then he will be able to become the king of dim sum in the United Kingdom and even Europe in one fell swoop, and it is not impossible to expand the brand to the world in the future.
After that, it was the discussion of share sharing, and originally Randolph Kemp people should have contributed the majority of their shares, but Le Yuan's detailed development direction plan made him not know how to speak.
Who knew that Le Yuan only said a number, he was stunned by this number "30", that's right, it is 30, originally Randolph Kemp thought that Le Yuan would report more than half of the shares, but he didn't expect it to be so little.
Randolph Camp was about to speak, but Le Yuan shook his finger and said, "I just provide a project and a snack recipe for this pastry shop, and it is up to you to really develop and grow it, Mr.
Camp, so this 30 is enough."
I will teach the first pastry chefs myself, and I think soon the pastry shop will be famous all over the world. ” Soon the pastry shop called "Cui Xing" opened in London, and it was visited by many celebrities on the first day, setting off a craze throughout London.
And on the day of its opening, Le Yuan also met the protagonist couple of a story, the explorer O'Connor and his wife, or the protagonist couple of the legendary trilogy of gods and ghosts.
Evelyn, who was dressed as a noblewoman, tasted a bite of the snack and said to O'Connor with an intoxicated face: "Well, this is so delicious, don't you want to have a little dear?"
"Oh, that's not necessary, you know I don't like sweets."
O'Connor shook his head and refused, then saw that Evelyn didn't seem to have tasted enough, and couldn't help but persuade: "Honey, such an obsession will make you fat, you have to be tempered." ” "Rest assured, this beautiful lady has introduced low-calorie pastries in this pastry shop, and Madame will definitely like it."
Le Yuan took the opportunity to answer.
"I don't know, well, what is this gentleman's name," Evelyn asked, looking at Le Yuan, who was dressed in a suit.
"Madame can call me Yuanle, I am one of the shareholders of this dim sum shop, and I designed the dim sum here."
Leyuan introduced Evelyn.
"Oh, are you from China, Nale is your surname, I didn't expect such a delicious dim sum to come from your hands, you are really young and promising."
Looking at Le Yuan, who was a round younger than herself, Evelyn couldn't help but admire.
"Where, there, Madame, is the legendary adventure of you and Mr.
O'Connor that I truly admire," complimented Le Yuan.
"Excuse me, Evelyn, we have another date later" Seeing that his wife had been communicating with Le Yuan, O'Connor couldn't help but interrupt.
"I don't know, madam, do you know the ark of the covenant," Le Yuan threw out a shocking word.
"The Ark of the Covenant, you mean that the sacred object of the ancient nation of Israel contains the covenant between God and the Israelites, and the two tablets of the Ten Commandments," Evelyn covered her mouth in surprise, afraid to call out the news.
"That's right, wasn't Hitler obsessed with the power of mythology, he was sending people to dig in the Cairo desert in Egypt, but unfortunately he didn't know that in order to find the exact whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant, he had to find the lost solar staff.
And Professor Indiana Jones has a clue, and I think he's going to set out to find the Ark of the Covenant.
Le Yuan said to Evelyn.
Looking at Evelyn, who was gradually getting excited, O'Connor shook his head and said loudly: "No, no, no, No, Evelyn, you promised me not to get involved in the mystery again, our children are already thirteen years old, and they can't take the same risks as when they were younger." ” "But this is not an opportunity to meet Professor Indiana Jones in the search for the Ark of the Covenant, what a precious opportunity."
After saying that, without waiting for O'Connor to refute, he pulled him out of the snack room. t1706231537:
