Daily life with the ship girl

"Hey, Pinghai, didn't you just have dinner?"

Pinghai made a face, then held Yixian's hand tightly:

"Luo, eating Western food every day is too unhealthy. I want to eat the food cooked by Sister Yixian."

Li Ran sighed, and then noticed that Yixian's eyes were as calm as water. She did not feel fear or wariness towards him like other ship girls did when they first met him. Instead, she felt very comfortable.

Li Ran secretly held his forehead, then smiled apologetically to Yixian:

"Pinghai hasn't been so willful for a long time. Will it cause you trouble?"

"Admiral, you're joking. The shipgirls of our C country are different from those of other countries. Only a few of us sisters can wake up, so we cherish each other even more. I feel much more at ease with Pinghai's actions. I was originally worried that the admiral would be a difficult person to talk to, but now it seems that the admiral is gentler than I thought."

"Gentle?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Li Ran's eyes, then he pulled himself together and said:

"Let's not talk about this for now. After all, this is not the place to have a conversation. Let's go back to the garrison."

"It's my honor!" Yixian nodded slightly and responded with her red lips.

Li Ran watched Yixian being pulled to the front by Pinghai. He looked at Yixian's long black hair, which was like a waterfall. Although her back was slender, she exuded a very reassuring aura. He felt the pressure and irritability of the past few days subsided. He came to his senses when he heard Pinghai's call, took a step, and followed him.

When Li Ran walked to Yixian's side, he saw Yixian suddenly looking over, looking at him calmly. She watched Pinghai run to the front, and then she said softly to Li Ran:

"Admiral, Ping Hai said you would help her realize her dream of becoming a navy, right?"

“Well, it will definitely happen.”

"She's still as willful as ever, even after waking up."

"It's okay. The navy dream is also my dream."

"Then Admiral, don't become indecisive because of your gentleness. I see confusion in your eyes."

Yixian said this, then turned her gaze back, staring at Pinghai's jumping back, and continued:

Admiral, sometimes you have to learn to be as optimistic as Pinghai. Your eyes are actually very sad. "

After saying that, Yixian's footsteps faded away, leaving Li Ran with a confused look on his face.

Chapter 238: Maid and Bun

When Li Ran brought Yixian back to the garrison, Lexington and Saratoga just came downstairs to drink tea. After all, handling paperwork is a tiring job.

"You are all here."

"Admiral, what is this?" Saratoga looked at Pinghai intimately holding the arm of a woman in cheongsam, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Although Pinghai had told them about the beauty of cheongsam, they could not wear it to look like a classical Chinese girl no matter what. But the black-haired woman in front of her, standing there quietly, made her lose some confidence.

Instead, Lexington came forward and asked Li Ran:

"Admiral? Is this the ship girl you summoned?"

Li Ran scratched his head and said:

"Yes, she is Yixian, and Pinghai are both ship girls from Country C."

Yixian looked at the pair of sisters in front of her with a calm look in her eyes and a gentle tone:

"Hello, I am a warship developed by Country C, the Yixian light cruiser. Please give me your guidance in the future."

"Light cruiser?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lexington's eyes. After all, such a graceful ship girl, she subconsciously thought that the other party was at least a heavy cruiser girl or something like that.

Yixian also noticed Lexington's flash of surprise, and then said softly to Li Ran:

"Who are these two?"

Li Ran heard Yixian ask this and then said:

"She is the current secretary ship, the aircraft carrier ship mother Lexington. This is her sister Saratoga, also an aircraft carrier ship mother. Are they both from the First Ship Mother Academy?"

"College?" A trace of confusion flashed across Yixian's face.

Pinghai saw Yixian was so confused and quickly explained:

"They were not summoned by Admiral Daiken, but the ship girls who graduated from the academy after the natural awakening of this world. They are very powerful."

"I see. No wonder I felt something strange when I just woke up." Yixian said this, and then saw Mingwang in a maid outfit coming out from the corner of the stairs. She asked:

"Who is this?"

"Hello, I am the master's maid, the battlecruiser Renown."

"Maid?" Yixian looked at Li Ran with a smile.

Li Ran felt a little guilty, he smiled awkwardly:

"Reputation, didn't I tell you not to think of yourself as a maid?"

"Master, would you like to introduce this elegant lady?"

Li Ran looked at Mingyu, who was still as respectful as ever, but completely ignored his words. He patted his forehead and thought, forget it. Mingyu's maid soul was burning brightly, so his orders were useless. Of course, he meant the order to make her forget that she was a maid.

Since there was no way to make Reputation give up, it would be better to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible. After all, Reputation had said something like "If the admiral dares to bring an unclear girl back to the garrison to spend the night, he will bear the consequences himself." It was really scary to think about it. He sighed:

"Didn't I go to the research department? This is the new ship girl I created today, Yixian."

"Hello, I am the master's head maid, Renown."

Pinghai added:

"It's the head maid, don't forget your dream, sister Renown."

Li Ran's forehead was covered with sweat. He looked at Yixian, whose smile was still peaceful, but he always felt that there was something dangerous. He smiled awkwardly, coughed, and then said:

"Pinghai, why don't you go and make tea for your sister Yixian."

"Yes, Sister Yixian, please sit down quickly. I will make you some tea."

Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Yixian and nodded to the reputation, and then said:

"I see, Miss Reputation, please give me your guidance in the future."

"Miss Yixian is too polite. Pinghai, please take a seat. Let the head maid make tea, and I will prepare the evening snacks."

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

"no!"

Yixian stared blankly at Li Ran and the other ship girls shouting like this. She was a little surprised:

"If Miss Reputation wants to prepare snacks, would that be too much trouble? How about I help?"

Li Ran secretly held his forehead, then looked at Lexington and Saratoga and shook his head firmly. Seeing his reputation suddenly drop, he sighed and said:

"Let me do it. You've all worked hard. Yixian, you just got here, so talk to everyone first. Reputation, please assist me."

"Really?" Shengyu raised his head with anticipation. The kitchen, the holy place, could he finally enter again?

Getting closer and closer to becoming the best head maid!

Li Ran didn't know how deep Shengwang's obsession was. After all, he hadn't cooked for a long time since he had more things to do in the port area, and he had also promised to teach Shengwang cooking.

"Really, really, I'll ask you to make French dessert today."

"I will definitely work hard!" Shengming said this, and then a fire called fighting spirit emanated from his whole body, making Yixian feel even more confused.

After Li Ran and Sheng Wang entered the kitchen, she asked in a low voice:

"Reputation seems to be related to liking cooking?"

"Yes, I like it very much." Lexington affirmed heavily.

Saratoga nodded solemnly, Pinghai's face was also tense, and then he said:

"Sister Yixian, please don't let Sister Shengwang get close to the kitchen from now on. It's too dangerous!"

"Dangerous?" Yixian looked at everyone and said this, then showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Pinghai saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull. After all, everyone was unfamiliar with each other. She didn't want her sister Yixian to be embarrassed, so she said:

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Admiral, go prepare some snacks. Leave the tea making to me. Sister Yixian, my tea art has improved a lot."

"Tea art, I miss it so much. If there is a chance, I would also like to exchange ideas with Pinghai." Saratoga immediately became excited. After all, Li Ran had talked about the Chinese tea ceremony, and she and her sister were also practicing tea art at the same time. So when she heard Pinghai say that, her fighting spirit was burning.

Yixian looked at Saratoga and said this, then nodded slightly to Lexington and said:

"Your sister is cute."

"I'm sorry to embarrass you. Gaga is like this sometimes when she's too serious."

Lexington looked at Pinghai and Saratoga who were absorbed in the tea art competition and gave Yixian a helpless smile.

As an older sister, you best understand the hardship of having a younger sister.

……

Li Ran and Sheng Wang entered the kitchen, and looked at Sheng Wang, who was very excited but still hesitant to start. He smiled and said,

"Why don't you do it? Have you forgotten how to knead the dough?"

"Ah, no, Master, I'm just too excited."

"I know that Reputation really likes cooking. Sorry, the previous rule was a bit too much. I will declare it invalid, but before that, you have to show some results."

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely work hard to improve my reputation!"

Reputation nodded in a very serious tone, and then began to prepare to knead the dough.

Li Ran looked at Shengwang's slightly clumsy appearance, he sighed, and then began to instruct him. He walked behind Shengwang and said:

"When kneading dough..."

About fifteen minutes later, Li Ran watched as Reputation gradually became familiar with the operation. Everything was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good. Now start kneading the dough into the shape you like. Remember not to make it too big. The essence of small bread lies in the word small. And if you like jam, you can add it. These are the diced fruits I have cut up. Just add the appropriate amount."

"Oh." Shengyu was not as carefree as usual at this moment. Instead, he treated the dough in front of him very seriously.

Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw how serious Shengwang was. If he let Shengwang do it himself next time, there should be no problem making the buns.

Unfortunately, Li Ran didn’t understand at all that it was Xiaomianbao’s success this time, entirely because of his presence.

Li Ran was a little confused as he watched Shengyu take so long to put the dough into the oven:

“Why not put it in the oven?”

"Well, Admiral, how long will it take to set it up?"

"About ten minutes, just put it in. You can do it."

"Oh, then I put it in, Master. I'm so nervous."

"Don't be nervous, be steady, and don't shake. You're too nervous. Relax."

……

It seems that the lines are a bit bad. Lexington and Yixian smiled at each other, and then Yixian said:

"The Admiral is teaching Renown how to bake bread."

"Yeah, no problem." Lexington said this, and then he and Yixian smiled at each other, knowing that they were both overthinking.

Chapter 239: Fish and Chips

Li Ran found it a little funny to see Shengyu staring at the oven nervously, but her serious attitude made him feel her love.

Reputation is a lover of cooking, but...

Li Ran remembered a sentence his father once said:

"Excessive passion can sometimes turn into stubbornness. No matter what you do, some things require skills, and some things require guidance."

Reputation is exactly that of someone who has certain skills but lacks sufficient guidance.

Of course, skills refer to housekeeping abilities other than cooking. Without considering her identity as a ship girl, her reputation can be said to be that of a perfect maid.

However, due to her excessive obsession with reputation, her cooking skills, which were already poor to begin with, became even worse after she lost guidance.

Li Ran then realized that blindly prohibiting Shengwang from entering the kitchen not only failed to dispel her obsession with cooking, but instead led to her current state.

fanaticism!

That's right, the look in which Reputation was staring at the oven was extremely fanatical.

Li Ran could already see that the maid soul in Mingyu was burning even hotter, and it was also mixed with an unusual caution towards cooking.
