[Comprehensive British and American] Those years when I opened a dessert shop on Baker Street

A woman's coquettish (panting) sound appeared in the quiet coffee shop, and everyone looked in the direction of John and Sherlock.

John took a sip of his coffee unnaturally, and smiled awkwardly at the gazes around him, but the person sitting opposite him didn't notice the strange gazes of the people around him at all.

Other people's eyes were never enough to disturb Sherlock. He picked up the phone calmly and saw the message from "that woman":

I like your girlfriend.

Sherlock replied to her: I like my girlfriend too.

After this message was sent out, a few seconds later, he replied with another message: Don't try to trick her.

"That woman, isn't she dead?" John is very familiar with this special mobile phone prompt tone, and only one person in this world will have this prompt tone when sending a message to Sherlock.

Sherlock looked at the inbox on the phone and answered John briefly: "She's not dead."

Before he went out, he clearly told his girlfriend to send him a text message when he received a flyer, but she didn't even notify him about such a big event as "that woman".

Sherlock's fingers kept sliding the phone page, waiting for new messages to pop up in the inbox.

John's face stiffened, and he tapped on the table, but Sherlock still didn't look up at him.

"Sherlock," John said gravely, "look at me."

Sherlock looked up.

"Do you understand what I just told you?"

John is an insider of the story between Sherlock and "that woman". He knew very well that some ambiguous feelings had grown between Sherlock and "that woman". He also thought that these two people would eventually come together, but when " When the woman" tried to get closer to Sherlock, Sherlock pushed her away.

In John's eyes, the door in Sherlock's heart has always been closed, and the love between men and women has been isolated from that door. John once thought that Sherlock would grow old with his case.But on the wedding day, Mrs. Hudson inadvertently revealed that Sherlock once had a girlfriend, and John knew that the door had been opened.

Still no new news, Sherlock put the phone back in his pocket.

"Of course I understand," he replied, "If you spend so much time worrying about things that will never happen, why don't you practice how to lie in front of the mirror so that you won't be detected."

Sherlock smiled at John.

John lured him into the coffee shop with a trumped-up case, and he couldn't stay for 3 minutes, but John just said, "I want to talk to you about your girlfriend, Winsty."

This actually aroused Sherlock's interest, and made him willing to waste time in the coffee shop listening to John speak the truth.

The married John is more and more like a house husband. Not only does he have a subtle smell of ingredients and seasoning powder, but he also speaks from the perspective of someone who has experienced it. He tried to persuade Sherlock for a long time, what? "Everyone is a unique existence", "Don't dwell on the past, embrace the present", and "Treasure the people in front of you", when the waiter passed by, he thought he was pouring chicken soup for Sherlock.

Looking at Sherlock's appearance, John sighed, "I don't think you understand."

He was going to tell Sherlock another way what he said just now.

"Of course I understand. What you mean is that I regard the current Wensti as a substitute for the previous Wensti. Let me not dwell on the past and treat her well."

"Correct."

"Mrs. Hudson and the others think so too?"

Sherlock understood what Wensty was talking about with that strange look. It turned out that Mrs. Hudson did not misunderstand that he and John were a couple, but that she was a substitute he had found.

"Yes," John replied, "it's hard for us not to think so, the same name, identity, and hobbies, even the same eye and hair color..."

Sherlock chuckled, but his cell phone didn't ring at all, it seemed that someone had really forgotten his request.

Sherlock raised his hand and called for the waiter.

Waiter: "Hello, sir. How can I help you?"

"Check out." He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to the waiter.

"I'm not looking for a replacement, she's unique."

Sherlock's blue eyes were full of seriousness, as if he was making a promise, and John was inexplicably moved by his emotions.

"You should consider my concern. I remember that you used to be very deceptive in acting and lying. Why did you retreat so much after you got married?"

John was silent, and Sherlock was still talking about his lie being exposed.

"I think it's perfectly normal for my lies to be caught by Sherlock Holmes."

"That's normal, but you haven't lied to Winsty."

"Am I not?"

Then she still agreed to him coming out with Sherlock?

"Not only did you not deceive her, but she deceived you."

John was silent again, she lied to me as soon as she lied to me, what are you so happy for?

After the waiter finished the settlement, he returned Sherlock's card to him.

The two walked out together, and the afternoon sun was refreshing.

"Do you still have money to take a taxi home?"

"Of course I do," John thought for a moment, feeling something was wrong, "Why do you ask that?"

"If you paid for the two cups of coffee with the last thirty pounds in your pocket, you will not only have no money to take a taxi, but you will have to stay there to wash the cups."

"You see? Well, it's not surprising. Mary controls the family's financial power. She gives me five pounds a day. Don't laugh at Sherlock. I use the pocket money I have saved for six days. I invite you to drink coffee!"

John now felt that Sherlock ordered the most expensive variety as soon as he walked into the coffee shop without saying a word, because he deliberately wanted to see him embarrassed.

"In the end, I paid the bill, no thanks."

John gave Sherlock an annoyed look.He walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi, but all the passing taxis were filled with people, and none of them was empty.

"Let's make a deal." Sherlock kept walking beside him.

Another passenger taxi passed John.

"What deal?"

"Go back and practice lying in front of the mirror, make up a lie every day and tell me, and you will get three thousand pounds as a reward."

John touched Sherlock's forehead, obviously he didn't have a fever, why did he just talk nonsense?

"Are you serious?"

Sherlock didn't mean to be joking at all, he held out his hand, and an empty taxi pulled up.

He opened the door, let John sit in, and said, "Goodbye."

After the taxi drove some distance away, Sherlock's phone finally rang and vibrated, well, his girlfriend finally sent him a message: I want to participate in this competition.

A picture was attached to the message, which was a colorful poster with various food patterns on it, and the words "British Good Food" were written in exaggerated colorful characters.

A gourmet competition, divided into three groups: staple food, dessert and drink, each group is divided into three rounds, and finally three winners will be selected to represent the UK to participate in the World Chef Competition.

Sherlock made a phone call, but no one answered. He searched for Wensty's location through the mobile phone information. She was still in the mall, so he hails a taxi and went to the mall.

The production team of "British Good Food" ambushed many staff members in major shopping malls, dessert shops, and restaurants. They wanted to shoot a set of material for the initial publicity of the program.

Wensty was spotted by the show's producers when she was checking out at the supermarket.Although not everyone has Sherlock's keen observation skills, the program producer also has 20 years of experience in food program production. After discovering that the ingredients in Wensty's shopping cart are comprehensive and plentiful, they guess that she is not a dessert chef. He is an expert in baking, so the director brought the photographer along to find him.

The editor explained the purpose of coming to Wensti, and after introducing the matters related to the competition, when she was asked if she would like to participate in the competition, Wensti readily agreed immediately, which made the editor and director overjoyed.To know whether a program can be popular, strength and production quality are one aspect, and whether there are popular contestants is another aspect.

The director with rich experience in program production saw the potential of the fire from Wensty, after all, who doesn't like a beautiful girl who can make desserts well.

This cooked duck can't let her fly away, the director dragged Wensti to the registration site without saying a word.

Not only the dessert group, but also the staple food group and drink group were present at the registration site. In addition to the seed players discovered by the program group, there were also many people who joined in the fun. Whoever participates in the registration can win a set of movie packages. Sign up The scene was very lively, so Wensty didn't receive Sherlock's call.

She received a registration form, and after filling out her personal information, she went to the end of the submission queue to confirm her identity. When she turned to leave, she bumped into the chest of the person behind.

Although the person behind her was standing too close to her, Wensti still apologized casually: "I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

Familiar deep voice.

She didn't need to apologize, because the person behind her deliberately got close to her!

"Why are you here?"

"Come to see you. Why don't you answer my call?"

"You called me? I didn't hear it. It's too noisy here."

"Are you going to hand in the registration form?" The staff member poked his head out.

Sherlock handed in a blank registration form, took Wensty's hand, and led her out.

"Why do you want to participate in this competition?"

"Because I think I will win, hehehe." Winsty replied without humility.

Sherlock glanced at her, and when she smiled, the arcs of her peach blossom-like eyes were particularly beautiful.

He shook her hand.

"You're sure to win."

No one in the world can make better and sweeter desserts than her.

"Your 'case' solved?"

"John suspects that I brought you in as a replacement for you before." There is no case, but people who are fascinated by appearances do not see through the essence," and Mrs. Hudson also thinks so, so she uses looking at you strangely."

Yeah?Both Mrs. Hudson and John misunderstood that she was her double, and Winsty suddenly found the whole thing very interesting, and even made up a double in her mind. story.

"gentlemen……"

Winsty found that Sherlock's expression seemed aggrieved for some reason, and his mouth even pouted slightly.

"what happened to you?"

"You met Irene Adler but didn't tell me," Sherlock recalled the message "that woman" sent him, with a sullen face, "She said she liked you."

"Really? I like her too."

Winsty obviously misunderstood the important point. She was very happy to hear the second part of Sherlock's words. Irene is elegant, smart and charming, so why don't people like it?

Winsty was very happy, but Sherlock was not happy, and he didn't want to hear this answer.

Well, leaving aside the fact that Wensty saw Irene but didn't inform him, why is Wensty not angry at all when she heard the name of someone who could be called a "rival in love"? !

"The Way of Love" - ​​Sherlock's memory palace still stores the knowledge in this type of book - it clearly says that when a girl meets a rival in love, she will double ask for her boyfriend's love.

He was already ready to be hugged and kissed by her, explain his relationship with Irene and express his heart again by the way, but she was not the reaction in the book at all.

"I can tell you about Irene." Sherlock decided to bring things back on track.

"Then can you give me her phone number?"

Wensti actually wanted to ask just now, but she didn't feel ashamed to ask. Irene's manicures are so beautiful, I really want to know where she got her manicures.

Sherlock: "..."

That day, Sherlock's face was dark all day long.
