Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 456 06.0455: "Very fresh, very delicious!"

That night, the captain's office was bustling with people.

Everyone on the Epic was discussing what kind of feast Horatio had prepared.

This young captain kept the secret completely secret and didn't let any information leak out.

The confidentiality was so good that even his partner didn't know what kind of delicacy he had prepared with such painstaking efforts.

His girlfriends even secretly got together and asked each other if anyone had received any information about the dinner.

"Welcome, everyone on the Epic." As the captain, he finally appeared in the chief position. People looked at him and raised their glasses to greet him.

The captain's office of the Epic is not very big, but fortunately there are not many officers on board, so it does not seem crowded. The size of the space provided is just right, giving a cozy feeling of dining in the restaurant of one's own mansion.

Captain Horatio sat at the narrow front end of the long curved table.

The right is the most honorable. On his right sat the 'Agent of the God-Emperor', the ship-based alien Inquisitor Thei.

Next to Thei is Louise.

Because most of the officers are young people and most of them are classmates, the seating arrangement on the Epic does not appear to be strictly hierarchical. Compared with normal Imperial Navy banquets, everyone's seating arrangement can be described as casual.

And on his left side.

The first position was reserved for Chief Technical Priest Ratti.

To everyone's surprise, a plump mature woman actually sat on the seat of the technical priest who was almost never seen and was always absent from meals.

No doubt most people had never seen the Mechanical Priest come to dine in the Hall.

The technical priest of the ship was personally invited by the captain to dine this time. This scene did not conform to the stereotype and surprised many officers.

Father Latti sat calmly and gracefully in her place, chatting and laughing with Horatio.

Her words and actions were more like those of a noble lady than a technical priest.

The seat to the left of Lati was supposed to be reserved for the head of the state church or the nuns, but because Sister Arabella had to escort the pilgrimage ship and was unable to board the ship, her position was replaced by Military Supervisor Farida.

She was obviously not satisfied that there was a beautiful mature woman whom she had never met between herself and Horatio.

Especially her "Fufu" laughter that was full of mature charm and seduction, and the way she looked very familiar with Horatio.

In Farida's vigilant eyes, this was just another vixen seducing her lover, and she was not a traditional technical priest.

As diners arrived one after another, the long table gradually became lively.

The diners were whispering, wondering what kind of surprise the captain had planned since he was so tight-lipped.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"

As Horatio tapped his fork, the elevator began to creak.

The diligent chef Yin Yuanshan appeared first. He pushed out several large copper pots, each of which had a blazing fire burning with refined liquid promethium.

The copper pot was filled with red oil, and the spicy aroma spread throughout the captain's office in an instant.

"A-choo!" Fasha couldn't help sneezing when he smelled the spicy smell. He blew his nose quickly, then looked at the captain with a complaining expression and questioning eyes.

Louise has received some training in dealing with harsh environments or tear gas since she was a child, so she is relatively calm.

But she didn't understand what the connection was between this pot and food. The first thing that came to her mind was to pour this liquid into the prisoner's nose during interrogation to force him to confess.

"What kind of dish is this? It looks like it only contains chili peppers." The knowledgeable and well-informed Inquisitor Thei asked Horatio the question that everyone present was thinking.

"Of course not, Miss Inquisitor."

Horatio also deliberately raised his voice when answering: "This is a Chinese dish called 'hot pot'. Don't worry, we are not going to eat chili."

He snapped his fingers, and the kitchen helper and the boat boy brought in the thawed, cleaned and processed meat and vegetables from the kitchen.

Of course, Horatio didn’t make this dish available only to the officer class.

As a celebratory banquet, all the people on the ship can enjoy this meal with a strong Aurora flavor before setting sail.

However, having so much hot pot ignited with promethium is definitely inappropriate in a cabin full of torpedoes, and it poses a considerable safety hazard.

To avoid fire accidents, the sailors and soldiers enjoyed a "self-service" meal that was cooked in a hot pot and placed on heated plates by the chef.

Although it lacks the essence of hot pot, it still has all the meat and vegetables you need, but it is presented in another form of hot pot - 'Maocai'.

The officers were very surprised when plates of rich raw vegetables were neatly arranged on carts.

This was the first time they saw raw food being served on the table, which should have been cooked in the kitchen.

In most cultures of the empire, this is an act that has nothing to do with civilization.

"Captain, what does this mean?" Farida turned her head to look at Horatio in confusion.

She had seen a Chinese delicacy in the morning and guessed that this must be another trick of her dear.

She kept smiling calmly. Her previous question was just a starting point. She wanted to see how he would handle the job.

Seeing that most people were staring blankly at the raw dishes on the table, I wondered secretly whether the captain was going to hold a banquet in a rather primitive and barbaric style. There seems to be such a trend in Shangchao recently.

Veronica, confused by the situation, crawled stealthily on the table with her left hand. Using the cover of the plate and water cup, she slowly moved to the vegetables in front of her, then quietly scooped a leaf into her arms.

Just as she coughed and took the trophy, which she thought no one had noticed, into her mouth, she awkwardly met Horatio's eyes the next second, and a green leaf peeped out from between her fingers.

Veronica's almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, and she quickly signaled to Horatio with her eyes not to say anything, without caring whether her silly look with a vegetable leaf in her mouth and squinting could effectively convey the message. Fortunately, Horatio did not expose her plan.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Veronica, who had received tacit consent, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly ate the leaves like a rabbit.

The lettuce leaves tasted fresh but were not very tasty, so she frowned in confusion.

She originally thought that the leaves produced by Zhendan would have some special taste.

At the same time, she turned her head and quietly chewed the juicy leaves while asking Fasha incoherently whether this was the diet meal she had asked the captain to prepare for her.

After some teasing from Fasha, Veronica immediately expressed her protest.

She claimed that her thighs and buttocks had developed better recently, and that was not fat! She was plump and voluptuous!

Faced with the whispers at the table and more and more questions, the captain just kept a smile on his face, as steady as a rock, as if waiting for something.

Only after hot bubbles began to rise from the bottom of the pot did he say, "Sorry for the long wait, please allow me to introduce to you a local specialty food with a long history in Aurora called 'hot pot'.

Because of its spicy taste, a lot of spices are needed to cook it, so in the vast universe of the Emperor of Gods, you rarely see such a 'complex yet convenient' delicacy. "

He picked up a pair of long chopsticks and demonstrated to everyone the correct way to use them.

The female accountant corrected the way people held chopsticks among the diners.

After almost everyone was able to use this uncommon tableware in a relatively correct way, Horatio moved on to the next step of the explanation.

"Use the bread clips on the plate and put whatever food you want into the pot.

The cooking time can be based on the suggestions on the menu or your own taste, but it is best not to exceed the maximum cooking time written above, otherwise the texture of the dish will make your dining experience very bad.

But it should not be lower than the minimum recommended time, as that may lead to possible food poisoning. I don’t want people who survived the battle to go to the doctor for a celebration banquet.”

After these words were spoken, everyone hesitated.

"Then I won't be polite."

Horatio took the lead and first put the sliced ​​chilled Grox meat into the boiling pot in front of him. After the bright red meat slices were put in, they were quickly blanched in the hot and boiling red oil and turned white, dancing up and down with the rolling heat.

Soon the meat slices were cooked to perfect doneness. He picked up the paper-thin slices of cooked meat, put them into the dish of sesame soy sauce, dipped them once, and put them directly into his mouth without caring whether it was hot or not.

"Hmm! Very fresh and very delicious!" He couldn't help but exclaimed after chewing and swallowing carefully under the watch of the crowd.

On both sides of the table, a group of officers who didn't know how to eat watched the captain eat with gusto, and many of them couldn't help but move their Adam's apples.

"I'm starting." Anya Fasha was the first to try. Taran himself had a lot of spicy food, so even though she hadn't eaten spicy food for a long time after joining the flight team after serving, the irritation to her nasal cavity was a bit too strong at first, making her feel a little uncomfortable at first.

But the new way of dining before her was not enough to discourage her from trying new things, just like her radical air combat tactics.

"Then I'll do it too!" Veronica followed the captain's lead and put another plate of Grox meat slices with evenly distributed fat patterns into the soup pot.

The female pilots followed the captain's lead and started eating, thus marking the beginning of the celebration banquet.

Seeing that someone had already taken action, others also began to get excited due to the tempting spicy aroma.

Among the naval officers, Louise swallowed her saliva, took the lead in picking up a plate of meat slices, and put it into the boiling pot in front of her.
