Ning Hai frowned at the side, "Really, Commander, please stop messing around. You're already very busy."
Huang Chen laughed and said, "Come on, it's just a hug and it won't affect the cooking."
"Commander..." Ning Hai was stunned. He didn't expect the commander to say such a thing. He was a little confused for a moment. "It's not appropriate now. Besides, the apron is quite dirty."
"It's okay." Huang Chen smiled, walked over with Pinghai in his arms, and also took Ninghai into his arms.
The purple-haired girl blushed, "Okay, okay, we still have to steam the buns."
Chapter 503 Is this what a panda is called?
After hugging them for a while, Huang Chen put Ning Hai and Ping Hai down. This was mainly because Ning Hai was clamoring to work, and he was also a little embarrassed with a red face, and was not used to this kind of contact.
Pinghai didn't feel anything. He held Huang Chen for a long time and was unwilling to come down. Finally, Ninghai threatened that if he didn't come down, he would have no buns to eat, so he went down with a puffed mouth.
Huang Chen found the shy and busy little girl a little amusing. He looked around and saw that Hood and Sirius were talking to the goddess of the hearth on the other side and they didn't seem to have any intention of coming over for the time being. He simply leaned on an empty seat and watched the girl work.
With Pinghai's help, Ninghai felt a lot more relaxed.
Huang Chen watched from the side for a while and asked curiously, "Will we eat steamed buns at the dinner party later?"
Ning Hai looked back at Huang Chen in surprise, "Of course."
"I mean, wouldn't it be weird to eat buns at a dinner party?" Huang Chen wondered.
After all, although steamed buns are delicious, it would be inappropriate to eat them at a dinner party, right? Forget about the royal dinner planned by Elizabeth, even at the Donghuang banquet, steamed buns wouldn't be served, right?
"What's so strange about that?" Ning Hai shook his head. "There are steamed buns at the Manchu-Han banquet, so why can't we have steamed buns at the dinner party?"
"There are buns in the Manchu-Han banquet?" Huang Chen was a little surprised. Shouldn't a Manchu-Han banquet be filled with a plethora of meat and fish? Why are there buns?
"That's it." Ning Hai thought for a moment, "Well, steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, and then steamed buns."
"That's just nonsense." Huang Chen was speechless. Ping Hai said confidently, "Of course there is. How could there not be such delicious buns?"
The little girl was chopping meat. When she heard this, she raised her head. The confident look on her face made Huang Chen couldn't help but rub the little girl's head again.
Ning Hai was a little dissatisfied on the side, "Commander, stop making trouble, otherwise we will be too late for the dinner."
Huang Chen withdrew his hand angrily and leaned aside, not knowing what to say.
I looked back at Hood. She and Sirius were still talking over there and it didn't look like she was going to come over for a while.
He casually glanced around and saw Haitian and Haiqi busy at a stove not far away.
"Are you two the only ones coming this time?"
"Hmm?" Ning Hai had just divided the dough and hadn't started rolling it yet. He turned back in confusion and thought for a moment before he understood what the commander meant. "Commander, are you talking about Elizabeth's invitation?"
Huang Chen nodded.
Ning Hai smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. In the past, it was always Haitian and Haiqi who came out, but when Shengli came to give Sister Yixian the invitation this time, Haitian and Haiqi were not here."
The girl smiled and said, "A few days ago, when I heard Guanghui say that the Commander was coming back, I thought Haitian and Haiqi had just run away and missed the Commander. I didn't expect that they had already met the Commander."
"Is that so?" Huang Chen also smiled, and suddenly looked at Ning Hai's hesitant expression again, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just thought the commander would come back a few days later." Ning Hai explained.
"A few days later? Why?" Huang Chen was confused. In this kind of situation, shouldn't it be better to meet the commander as soon as possible? Why a few days later?
"Because Sister Yixian will be here in a few days." Ning Hai said.
"Yixian." A portrait of an oriental beauty suddenly emerged in Huang Chen's mind: elegant, indifferent, tough, quiet and transcendent.
Huang Chen always felt that Yixian’s original portrait was a little strange. He didn’t know how to describe it, but it always seemed a little inconsistent and average.
Until I saw Yixian's wedding dress.
Sorry, honey, I was just talking nonsense before.
When he heard Hu De ask him to guess who was in the kitchen, he subconsciously thought of Yixian.
Although I was a little confused as to why Yixian didn't come, but when I thought about it carefully, as the owner of a restaurant, it is generally not appropriate for her to travel far, right?
In short, I feel a little regretful, but I think that after I have dealt with the matters on Shabai's side, I can go find her.
I didn't expect to hear Ninghai say that Yixian would be here in a few days.
Ning Hai looked at Huang Chen's silence and continued, "Guanghui returned four days ago."
"Yeah." Huang Chen nodded. At that time, Guanghui thought that the commander would be delayed for some time in looking for Haitian and Haiqi, so he set off early.
But in fact, Huang Chen did not delay for long, which resulted in Guanghui arriving at the island only a few days earlier than Huang Chen and the others.
"I originally wanted to go back and tell Sister Yixian and the others, but time was running out," Ning Hai explained. "We're in Area C2, which is quite far from here. It takes over three days to get there, so the round trip is almost a week. Add in other things, and it's even longer."
The girl said this with a look of pain on her face, "So I went to Area C1 with Guanghui and the others to send a telegram. It only takes one day to get to Area C1. Then we sent the telegram and found out immediately."
Huang Chen smiled and rubbed the little girl's head. "This is money well spent. Don't worry about it."
The journey to Area C2 takes more than three days, and it is impossible for Yixian to come here immediately after receiving the news. It will take at least one day to pack up, so Yixian will be able to arrive in two days?
"So Commander, if you come two days later, Sister Yixian will be here, and by then the dinner she prepares will be much better than ours." Ning Hai said in a low voice.
"Do you want to eat Yixian's cooking or something else?" Huang Chen said helplessly, "Besides, Yixian won't be able to handle the food for so many people alone!"
"Of course, Sister Yixian is amazing," Ning Hai said. "As long as Pinghai and I help out, and Anshan and the others help out, as well as Haitian and Harbin, feeding a few hundred people won't be a problem at all."
Huang Chen pursed his lips and felt that if Yixian was here, he would say, "Don't bring me in when you brag."
As the two continued talking, Pinghai tugged at Ninghai's apron and said, "Sister, the stuffing is ready."
"Ah." Ning Hai came back to his senses. "Really, Commander, talking to you has delayed my work again."
The little girl pouted and glanced at Huang Chen, "Okay, Commander, don't disturb me while I'm working!"
Then he found a large bowl, put the minced meat in it, and told Pinghai to chop green onions and other ingredients.
Huang Chen stood aside and watched for a while, trying to strike up a conversation, but Ning Hai ignored him. Instead, Ping Hai said seriously, "Commander, stop talking. If my sister gets angry, we won't be able to eat our buns."
Huang Chen nodded, feeling both amused and helpless. However, Ping Hai pulled out a small black and white creature from somewhere and stuffed it into Huang Chen's hand. "Here's your Erbao to play with. Don't bother your sister anymore."
what is this?
Huang Chen looked at the giant panda in his hand and squeezed it subconsciously.
"Squeak!"
Is that what a panda is called?
Chapter 504: Is the way I open the door wrong?
Is this what pandas are called?
Huang Chen was holding the little guy in his hand, speechless. This is why the ship girl's ship-equipped pet was quite unreasonable.
Jiaozi and Enterprise's eagles are okay, at least they look like normal bald eagles from the outside, but the unicorn Yu-chan, Nagato's fox and the Erbao panda in front of him look magical.
It is slightly bigger than a palm and looks like a doll, but it can run and jump. When held in the hand, it will hold Huang Chen's fingers and resist. It has to be said that it is quite interesting.
Huang Chen was a little curious. He looked at the little creature's dark circles and black eyes in his hand and smiled, "Ninghai should have one too, right? Is his name Dabao?"
"Yeah." Pinghai nodded, ran to the busy Ninghai, pulled out a panda of similar size from the latter's apron, and stuffed it into Huang Chen's hand, "This is Dabao."
"Pinghai, stop it." Ning Hai felt helpless, but seeing his sister and the commander looking curious, he let it go.
"They look quite similar." Huang Chen held the two little guys in front of him and couldn't help pinching them. Immediately, the two little guys made chirping sounds.
"It's just that the sound is so weird," he commented. "The sound is weird and small."
Pinghai tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Maybe he didn't eat enough."
The little girl reached out and took Erbao back, squeezing it hard. In an instant, the panda's face turned red, and his voice became louder than before, "Squeak!"
Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Pinghai, you are really rude. Didn't you see that Erbao's eyes are about to bulge out?"
"It's not full, so it doesn't make any noise and has no strength." Pinghai was still a little dissatisfied. He studied Erbao for a long time and then looked around as if he wanted to find something for Erbao to eat.
"Forget it, just keep your voice down. After all, you're so small, it would be abnormal if you were to speak loudly." Huang Chen stopped Ping Hai from continuing. He pinched Dabao and placed it on the girl's head. "If you don't help, Ning Hai will be angry."
"I understand." Pinghai nodded, turned around and continued to help Ninghai with his work.
Huang Chen watched from the side for a while. It was actually quite interesting to watch people working, but they needed people who were quick at work. If a few African workers came and split one person's work into five workstations, it would be very frustrating.
After watching for a while, Huang Chen said goodbye to the girl and left. After all, he couldn't help, and it was inappropriate to stand by and watch others work like a supervisor.
I'm afraid that few people would like to have someone watching them calmly while they work, even if that person is the commander.
After leaving Pinghai Ninghai, Huang Chen did not leave the kitchen, but went to other stoves to say hello to the girls and casually see what everyone was doing.
The kitchen was bustling with activity, but apart from the London sisters, no other royal girls were seen, all of whom were chefs who had previously been on the Windward.
Huang Chen walked along and took a look, and found that the girls were all making the dishes they were good at.
For example, Pinghai and Ninghai were steaming buns over there, Haitian and Haiqi were roasting fish over here, Nuzhaoshen led Malani in making a kind of barbecue, Kumano and Suzuya were preparing a stew, and so on...
Huang Chen turned around and walked to the door. Hood was already standing there waiting for him. "The commander is coming out? I thought the commander would stay in the kitchen until the banquet started."
"How could that be?" Huang Chen shook his head. "I just had a few more words with everyone. By the way, aren't these dishes that everyone prepared a little strange?"
He raised his doubts. Not to mention steamed buns, even grilled meat, baked fish, stewed vegetables, etc., are not suitable, right?
Originally, he was a little nervous when he heard Hood talking about the dinner party to welcome everyone back after a long absence, and even specifically told him to change into something more formal.
But now, looking at the dishes being prepared in the kitchen, he suddenly relaxed. With just these dishes, how formal could it be? Wouldn't it be inappropriate to wear a suit and eat a big bun?
Hood also looked somewhat helpless. "If we only let the maid team come, there will be no problem with desserts and black tea, but everything else..."
Huang Chen nodded in understanding, "It's better to eat something strange than nothing. Even if it's just a bun, if you dress it up a little, it can be served at a banquet."
Hood chuckled, "That's what the Enterprise said."
"Enterprise?" Huang Chen was surprised. When did he and TTK become so in sync?
"Hmm... not exactly, but roughly the same idea." Hood thought for a moment. "As long as I can eat my fill, the Commander won't mind too much. That's about it, right?"
Huang Chen pursed his lips and didn't want to say anything. Am I just a good-for-nothing in your eyes?
Sirius looked at Huang Chen seriously. Is that how it is?
Huang Chen said nothing more and walked towards his room, followed by Hood and Sirius.
When they got to the elevator, he subconsciously introduced it to the two of them, "This elevator goes all the way to the top deck, but it can't go down to the area below the guest area. You have to take the stairs over there. But no one lives down there except Torricelli."
The elevator stopped at the fifth floor. Huang Chen walked in front and continued to introduce, "This is the functional area. Further inside are the rooms. There are twenty-four rooms on the fifth floor, twelve in the front and twelve in the back. They were originally suites, but they were separated in the back. But now they are full. You..."
As he spoke, he was stunned for a moment, then realized that they had already decided to build the port on the island, so there was no need to sail around in the Windward.
When I find the girls again in the future, I won’t need to introduce the layout of the Windward to them and let them choose a room they like on the Windward.
He looked at the aisle in front of him that was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and suddenly realized that the mission of the Windward was about to end?
"Commander?" Hood called softly.
"Ah, nothing, I just didn't expect the port area to be established so soon." He smiled and walked towards his room.
Hood chuckled behind him, "Commander, are you impatient? If you hurry up and go to the Kanmusu headquarters now, you can officially take the title of commander tomorrow."
"That's not necessary." Huang Chen smiled. He was just a little dazed for a moment, but he was not sad about it. After all, building a port area was a good thing.
The Windward has come to an end, a glorious retirement. Why bother with so much? If we can't introduce the Windward, how can we introduce the Grand Harbor Area in the future?
He strode to the door of the room, pushed it open and walked in, but suddenly he was stunned and stood there with his steps stiff.
"Commander?" Hood was a little confused. Fortunately, she was one step slower than the commander, otherwise she would have bumped into the commander, which was very unladylike.
"No, nothing." Huang Chen grinned and slowly closed the door. His mind was racing. What was going on? Was I opening the door wrong?
Chapter 505: Unyielding
"What's wrong?" Hood asked curiously as he saw the commander suddenly stop.
"No, nothing." Huang Chen waved his hand, then pushed the door open a crack as if he didn't believe it and looked inside.
I was not mistaken. There was a plump black-haired girl lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. Standing at the door, I could even hear the girl's light and even breathing.
He closed the door expressionlessly, turned around to look at Hood and Sirius, and said hesitantly, "I've thought about it carefully. Actually, Hood, your previous suggestion is quite reliable."
