Daily life with the ship girl

"Admiral, if you want to salvage the ship, you have to rely on your charm. Although I can talk to them as a G-country ship girl, I can't directly tell them what you think, right? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"Okay, okay. I really envy that man. I finally found out the whereabouts of Tirpitz, but now it seems like there's no hope."

"Don't be discouraged, Admiral. I believe everything will be fine."

"Ah."

……

Li Ran went upstairs, took some casual clothes, then went into the bathroom to take a shower. After the shower, he felt much better.

After changing his clothes, he blew dry his hair, and then heard the noisy chirping sounds of fireflies downstairs. He looked out the window and it was completely dark.

"It's been almost two months since I came to this world. I never thought I would adapt to this kind of life so well."

With a sigh, Li Ran went downstairs, and looking at Shengyu wearing an apron, his face suddenly turned pale. It's bad!

"Master, you are done washing. Wait a moment. Leave the dinner to me. I will definitely finish it elegantly."

Li Ran looked at Shengyu with a serious expression and his face turned pale. No way, British food, is this thing really edible?

"Admiral, this big sister also likes potatoes, but why does she add salted fish?"

"Salted fish?" Li Ran's mouth twitched. No way, head maid, why do I feel a little uneasy if you cook like this?

"Well, there will be an English dinner tonight. I hope the host and guests will enjoy it."

"Well, let me take care of the reputation and cooking. You just need to entertain them."

"No, it's my job to help the master with housework. Guogan, have you cut the potatoes?"

Li Ran was almost in tears, but now she could only hope that Reputation would be better than her sister's cooking skills in Counterattack.

Bismarck and Nuremberg learned about the situation in the North Sea. Seeing Li Ran standing by the stairs and talking to Shengwang, her face turned a little ugly. She said to Nuremberg:

"excuse me."

Bismarck walked up to Li Ran, and then heard Li Ran muttering to himself:

"It's over, it's over."

"Admiral?" Bismarck asked curiously:

"What's over?"

"Ah, nothing, I said I'm done washing." Li Ran saw Bismarck's face full of concern. He glanced at Shengwang who was wearing an apron and closing the glass door of the kitchen, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Bismarck looked at Li Ran with a heavy face, and she asked quickly:

"Are you in any trouble?"

"No, don't think about it." Li Ran said this, and then added in his mind:

It's not just a trouble, it's a disaster. You'd better wish you good luck tonight.

Li Ran sat back at the tea table with a nervous mood. He looked at the noises coming from the kitchen from time to time and felt more and more uneasy.

Then he heard Nuremberg say to himself:

"The Admiral's head maid is very polite. We are all looking forward to dinner."

Li Ran's face suddenly froze. No way, you guys better not expect it. I don't even want to cook British cuisine. He smiled awkwardly and said:

"Really? That's good. I hope you'll like it then."

"Commander, you don't look well?" Lexington just came in from outside. She and Saratoga had just taken some time to go to the warehouse. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Li Ran and Nuremberg talking. However, she could see that the commander's face was not very good. She asked Jia Jia to take the sorted documents upstairs, then walked over and sat down next to Li Ran without avoiding suspicion, and then asked with concern:

"Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Li Ran sighed, then pulled himself together and said:

"Nothing, it's just maybe too hot lately."

"Oh, by the way, who will cook tonight?" Lexington asked subconsciously.

Bismarck said without thinking:

"Reputation said she was in charge of dinner tonight and was busy in the kitchen."

Rodney and Richelieu had a conversation in the corridor outside. When she walked into the garrison, she heard Bismarck say that Reputation was responsible for the dinner. A complex expression flashed across her face, and then she said to Richelieu:

"Shall we have a beach barbecue tonight?"

"Why? Didn't you say you wanted to try the admiral's cooking today?"

"But it's Reputation who's cooking today, and I don't feel like eating hometown food lately."

"This won't work. If the guests are here, we should not let the admiral do it. Let's go to the wine cellar. The dinner will start soon, and we need to prepare some red wine."

Rodney looked helpless as she was pulled away by Richelieu.

Except for Li Ran and Rodney, no one knew that this dinner was destined to be remembered by them for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 150: An Unforgettable Dinner (Fog)

Li Ran looked at the sky outside and it was getting completely dark. With a nervous mood, he watched Shengming carry out plates of food. It seemed that everything was fine.

However, he had a bad feeling, especially when looking at those British dishes. As an elite chef, he now didn't dare to sit in the main seat.

Reputation brought the last mysterious dish to the table, then took off her apron. Seeing Li Ran still sitting at the tea table, she walked over, performed a maid's etiquette and said:

"Master, the dinner can begin now."

"Oh, okay." Li Ran took a sip of water from the teacup. He was panicked. Oh my God, he heard Quincy said that London cuisine is dark cuisine. He didn't dare to have too high expectations for the cooking level of the E country's ship girl.

"Li Ran, what's wrong with you? You have such a nice head maid who personally cooks dinner for you, but you still have such a sullen face. Are all you men so ungrateful?" Bai Nuoyan looked at Li Ran's reluctant expression, and then at Shengyu in a maid outfit, she couldn't help but envy him.

You know, she also has a maid and housekeeper at home, but it is rare to have such a maid who can both be a lady in the living room and in the kitchen. More importantly, she is the ship girl of a battlecruiser, and one of the few battlecruiser girls with super firepower. If it were her, she would be very happy, but seeing Li Ran like this, she was very angry that she didn't know how lucky she was.

When Li Ran saw Bai Nuoyan say this, he was not angry, but said something meaningful:

"Today's dinner will be one you will never forget."

"Humph, you are a man who says one thing and means another. You may appear reluctant but you are actually very proud of yourself. Xixi, let's ignore her."

Rodney and Richelieu were just placing red wine on the dining table. She heard the conversation between Li Ran and Bai Nuoyan, and she was the only one who understood the meaning of Li Ran's words. She said to Richelieu with some trepidation:

"Why don't we have a beach barbecue tonight? By the way, I'm trying to lose weight recently."

Bismarck had just finished talking to Nuremberg at this time. When she heard the reputation, she knew that the banquet was about to begin. She said a few words to Nuremberg and the others, then took them to the dining table. She just happened to hear Rodney's words and said expressionlessly:

"According to the rules of the Admiral's Mansion, unless it is a special occasion, everyone must attend the dinner."

Rodney's face suddenly fell.

Richelieu didn't know why Rodney was so obsessed with the beach barbecue. She said in a strange way:

"Isn't British cuisine your hometown cuisine? Why do I feel like you don't like it very much?"

Rodney was about to speak, but when he saw Shengyu coming with Li Ran, he quickly changed the subject:

"Ha, Richelieu, of course English cuisine is the best cuisine in the world, let's take a seat."

Richelieu was a little confused, and Rodney pulled her to sit down.

Li Ran, accompanied by Reputation, took the main seat. It was Reputation's job to seat the guests, which the head maid did elegantly. After watching all the guests sit down, she returned to Li Ran, stood up and said:

"Master, the dinner party can begin now."

Li Ran felt that she couldn't say this. She looked at Shengwang and bowed, then looked at the table full of British cuisine. From the color alone, it seemed that there was nothing wrong? He announced the start of the dinner with the beautiful idea that Shengwang's cooking skills might be good.

"Everyone, I toast to you all." Li Ran thought it would be better not to pick up the chopsticks rashly. Oh, I forgot that this is a Western meal, there are no saucepans, ahem, this is not important. He stood up, then held up the goblet, shook the red wine in the glass and said:

"I would like to thank you all for visiting my humble home this time, and especially thank Bai Nuoyan and the Sihai Chamber of Commerce for their great help these days."

"You're welcome." Bai Nuoyan still knew some dining etiquette, so she stood up as well.

Everyone looked at the host standing up, feeling embarrassed to stay seated, and raised their glasses.

After the opening polite words were said, Li Ran finished the wine in his glass. Shengwang considerately refilled his glass, and then poured wine for others, acting like a perfect royal head maid to the fullest.

Li Ran held the knife and fork, looking at the steak in front of him. There was a layer of black stuff similar to fish roe on it, and he felt a little nervous.

"Master, this is the famous caviar. I found it in the refrigerator and prepared it especially for you."

What? Specially prepared.

Li Ran's hands were shaking a little, and he forced a smile:

"That's really hard on you."

However, Li Ran immediately remembered the order of eating Western food, and said:

"But let's follow the order of eating. You see everyone eats salad first."

"Oh, this is potato salad. I hope you like it. It has caviar on it. This is steamed goose liver. Please enjoy it."

Bai Nuoyan watched as Shengyu considerately served Li Ran the food. She fiercely used her knife and fork to pick up a large piece of beef, thinking:

What gentlemanly etiquette are you talking about? You are just showing off on purpose.

Li Ran looked at the plate of salad. It was indeed all mashed potatoes. However, this black layer was caviar?

Salad with caviar? Huh?

Li Ran was just about to take a bite when he saw Bai Nuoyan throwing a large piece of beef covered in black sauce into his mouth with a look of deep hatred.

Then, he saw Bai Nuoyan's expression suddenly changed.

"Admiral, are you okay?" Hipper looked at Bai Nuoyan's shocked expression, thinking it was because the food was too delicious, so she whispered:

"It's delicious but you should pay attention to your appearance. It's rude to just hold it in your mouth without swallowing it."

Rodney and Richelieu happened to be sitting opposite Bai Nuoyan and Hipper. She looked at Bai Nuoyan's expression and knew that something was going to happen.

"Why isn't anyone moving?" Guo Kang was a little puzzled. She had been helping Shengwang the whole time, and seeing that no one was moving their knife and fork, she asked curiously.

"Yes, let's all eat. Miss Bai can't wait, let's look forward to seeing Mingyu's cooking." Pinghai also felt that this was inappropriate, so she spoke up.

However, Pinghai didn't know that this might be an unforgettable dinner.

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Nuoyan had to swallow the "delicious steak", and then she finally understood what Li Ran had just said.

Others also started to eat. The salad for starters tasted surprisingly good. Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"This cold dish is well made. Who made it?"

"Admiral, I learned this. Sister Reputation taught it to me. Is it delicious?"

"Guo Kang, you did a great job. It's delicious." Li Ran had escaped a disaster. However, salad is just an appetizer after all. It's a bit weird to eat too much mashed potatoes. She looked at the foie gras and said:

"Who did this?"

"This is what Sister Shengyu made. I heard that I prepared it specially for the Admiral and Sister Richelieu. It's French food."

The corner of Li Ran's mouth twitched slightly. He was surprised that Mingming could make French steamed foie gras.

Then, before he could even pick up his knife and fork, Richelieu impatiently cut off a small piece of foie gras, put it between the pieces of bread, and put it into her mouth. Then, her expression changed.

Rodney looked at Richelieu's expression and whispered:

"Didn't I tell you about the beach barbecue?"

Richelieu's face was first in disbelief, then shock, and then he swallowed hard, forced a smile and said:

"Thank you, Your Excellency. This foie gras tastes good."

"Really?" Vauquelin, who was sitting next to Richelieu, heard her elder sister say this and eagerly cut off a piece of foie gras, rolled it with bread and was about to put it in her mouth. Richelieu quickly stopped her and said:

"You haven't finished your salad yet. You should finish it so as not to be disrespectful."

"Yes, I see, Sister Richelieu." Vauquelin didn't know that he had been spared a suffering.

Seeing that Li Ran was still slow to move his knife and fork, Shengyu asked with concern:

"Master, are you feeling unwell? Why are you eating?"

"Ah, no, I just came out. By the way, I don't particularly like foie gras. I'd better drink some soup first. After all, Pinghai knows my eating habits."

Pinghai looked at the inquiring gaze of the reputation, then nodded and said:

"Yes, the admiral is used to drinking some thick soup before meals."

"So the master has such a habit. The master is Chinese, right? Fortunately, I have considered it. This is a cream soup specially made for the master."

Creamy soup!
