She was wearing her usual clothes, a simple white shirt and a plaid skirt, but luckily she wasn't wearing pajamas.
Tianying was wearing a white dress that looked like a modified cheongsam, and a small lace-trimmed bonnet. After greeting Huang Chen, she began chatting over a cup of tea.
After waiting for a while, Giulio came over with the slightly wet Cavour. The girl with short silver hair seemed a little embarrassed and repeatedly emphasized that she was going to participate because Leonardo da Vinci asked her to, not because she wanted to go.
Huang Chen expressed his understanding of this.
Soon, the girls came over one after another and sat in their seats according to Newcastle's arrangements.
Most of the girls came in dresses, which made Huang Chen feel not so strange. In fact, he always felt that although his clothes were formal enough, they did not look like banquet attire. Instead, they looked like the attire of some big leaders in some weird meetings.
...some of them are very elegant.
After chatting with the Sardinian girls for a while, Huang Chen was arranged by Newcastle to sit on the side of the middle table, which was probably the main seat. Fortunately, the dinner was served in a separate dining system, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find food at the edge of the long table.
There was no one around him, and in front of him was a dinner plate with gold thread patterns and silver cutlery, including a knife, fork and chopsticks. He looked at each one for a while, and finally put the chopsticks on the dinner plate.
After waiting for a while, I saw Elizabeth coming over in a white dress, which was no different from her outfit this afternoon.
The dress has a puffy skirt with lace and golden patterns, lace cuffs and a collar with a black bow. Her long golden hair is softly and casually draped behind her. She wears a gold and red crown on her head and holds a scepter in her hand.
Her feet were wrapped in white tights decorated with small blue bows and stepped into black round-toed high heels, but this did not make Sha Bai look taller.
The girl came over with a smile on her face and sat down on his left. She looked at Huang Chen and said magnanimously, "Since this is a reunion banquet, I will allow you to sit here. But you must thank me, servant."
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Chen smiled and looked around. He only saw Beifa not far away, but did not see War-weary and Heroic. He was suddenly confused. "Where are they?"
Even if he was locked up, he wouldn't even skip the dinner, right?
At least for Huang Chen, he felt that it was a little inappropriate. He also felt that with his silly personality, he couldn't do such a thing.
Elizabeth snorted lightly and said nothing.
Huang Chen suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up at the end of another long table next to him. A blond dwarf with a helpless look on his face was sitting with a silver-haired dwarf, and they were waving at him.
So... these two guys were expelled?
Huang Chen suddenly understood, and felt a little amused and helpless, but he looked at the empty chair on the other side. If it wasn't War-weary or Brave, who could it be?
He was feeling somewhat puzzled when he saw Hood slowly walking towards him and sitting on his right.
"Greetings, Commander, Your Majesty." The girl greeted the two men.
Huang Chen waved his hand, "Where did you go just now?"
When he greeted Littorio and the others, Hood was still with him, but after chatting for a while, he noticed that Hood was gone.
"Some dinner arrangements." Hood chuckled. "I informed Enterprise and Amagi of the Commander's plans for the port construction, to prevent them from continuing to inspect the island."
Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had discussed the relevant issues with Enterprise and Tiancheng before, but the final conclusion was to investigate the island.
I didn't know how quickly I made the decision.
But I didn't have time to tell them. In fact, I didn't tell many people at all. After all, I made the decision in a hurry in the afternoon.
Elizabeth was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Hood and Huang Chen blankly, "What, what port area construction? Where are they going to build it?"
Yes, I didn’t tell Shabai either… Huang Chen grinned, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, and rebuilt the port area on Shabai’s island.
Although Shabai is our own ship girl, we should at least talk to Shabai about this matter first, right?
"The Commander intends to rebuild the port area here, Your Majesty," Hood explained.
"Oh, I see." Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said as a matter of course, "Of course. As my servant, do you have to go somewhere else to establish a port area?"
Huang Chen smiled and was about to say something when he saw Curacao and Curlew pushing a silver food cart with golden plates on it, serving food to everyone.
Although it was a dinner party, the order of serving the dishes was not strictly followed, such as appetizer, soup, side dish, main course, etc.
Instead, a large plate was brought over, which contained a lamb chop, a few prawns, some grilled fish, chicken nuggets, grilled meat, vegetables, a bowl of thick soup and a steamed bun.
At the same time, he poured half a glass of red wine into the highball glass next to him.
Hood watched the girls serve the meal and looked at Huang Chen, "Commander, would you please announce the start of the dinner?"
"Let's start, is it about to start?" Huang Chen subconsciously looked around and found that dinner had already been set on other tables.
The girls, including the maid team, have also found their own positions. Although many girls are still laughing and chatting, they look over here from time to time.
Huang Chen stood up, picked up the goblet and looked at everyone.
Everyone also noticed this and became quiet. Even the girl who loved to talk the most was staring at Huang Chen with shining eyes at this moment.
He slowly raised his wine glass, moved his lips for a long time, but said nothing.
He originally wanted to say, "I'm back," and wanted to invite everyone to enjoy the dinner. He wanted to say, "We are gathered here on this special day..."
But in the end I didn't say it.
Huang Chen looked at the girls' smiling faces and pursed his lips.
"Everyone, from now on, our port area has been revived, right under our feet."
Silence reigned for a long moment, until Mutsu raised his hand in confusion. "Commander, what do you mean by reviving the port? Does it mean rebuilding the port?"
"That's what I mean. Let's eat." Huang Chen was a little embarrassed and sat back in a hurry.
Chapter 512 Where does the commander stay at night?
The dinner begins.
In fact, Elizabeth was planning to say something to Huang Chen.
But in the end I gave up, after all, the commander had already said to start eating.
Although he is a servant, we still have to give him some face at this time.
Elizabeth thought so, picked up a piece of barbecue with a fork and chewed it slowly. Just as she put it in her mouth, the little girl's eyes lit up.
He subconsciously ruffled his blonde hair and then began to eat with big mouthfuls.
Huang Chen recovered from the embarrassment and looked at Sha Bai's face, which showed a happy expression because of the satisfaction of his appetite.
I couldn't help but start to think wildly.
Is it really hard to rely on the royal girls to take care of the canteen on a daily basis?
Silly Bai ate very quickly, and his brisk movements were obviously not in line with the queen's etiquette.
Of course, given her personality, she probably wouldn't be as fussy about details as Abruzzi. Even a lady like Hood couldn't do that in her gestures.
After all, he is essentially a little guy with a bit of tsundere attitude.
Fortunately, she still remembered her queen's name. After being stared at by Huang Chen with a strange look for a while, she quietly put down the knife and fork in her hand.
He picked up the napkin beside him and wiped his mouth gently, then picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine.
He more or less has the aura of a person in a high position, well, probably one-tenth of Marco Polo.
Then he smiled at Huang Chen and said, "This dinner is very good. Servant, you should try it quickly. Oh, and Hood should try it too."
"Okay." Huang Chen nodded, but didn't rush to eat. Instead, he looked elsewhere.
Rebuilding the port area is a big deal, and the girls are all discussing this topic to some extent, even the little ones who are drinking juice are talking about this topic.
Although it was a dinner party, the atmosphere was not overly serious or noble.
There were some left when I met Littorio and the others before, but they were gone when the set meal was served.
"Because we're a bit pressed for time, we can only prepare this much," Hood explained a little embarrassedly. "After a while, when Yixian, New Jersey, and Bismarck come over, we can hold a more grand dinner."
Hood said, winking at Huang Chen, "Including the dinner for the ball."
"Uh..." Huang Chen was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse. First of all, he felt that the banquet was time-consuming and laborious, and such an event needed to be held many times.
On second thought, it is natural to celebrate since we have been reunited after a long time.
Then he wanted to point out that a banquet like tonight's would be fine, and there would be no need for a dance.
But before she could say anything, Elizabeth beside her said with a hint of excitement and reserve, "Ball? I'm really looking forward to it. Will the servants dance? If you invite me then, I wouldn't be wrong to dance with you."
Huang Chen hesitated for a moment, looking at Sha Bai's expectant yet reserved expression, he finally nodded, "I'm looking forward to it too."
It’s just dancing. Didn’t I say before that I could learn from Guanghui?
Well, learn from Guanghui.
Huang Chen subconsciously glanced at Hood beside him. The girl was having a meal. Compared with Silly Bai, she looked much more ladylike, like a real noble lady.
She was wearing a white dress and eating juicy lamb chops with thick sauce, but she was still clean.
Even when eating that bun, she looked so elegant and natural.
Of course, that aristocratic lady's aura disappeared while she was eating the buns.
"What's wrong?" Hood asked puzzledly after taking a sip of red wine.
"Nothing." Huang Chen waved his hand and focused his attention on the food in front of him.
Although it was prepared in a hurry, it still tasted very good. He tasted the other foods and then focused his attention on the bun.
He couldn't help himself when he was in the kitchen before.
Although Mogami and Suzuya also know how to make dumplings, Huang Chen is not used to eating the dumplings made by Sakura Empire. Later, he met Haitian, Haiqi, and Harbin, but these three people also don't know how to do this skill.
After all, buns look simple, but in fact there are requirements for dough mixing, fillings, wrapping techniques, steaming time, etc.
He tried to pick up the bun with chopsticks, but gave up after half a minute and picked up the bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
It’s so delicious. No wonder Pinghai and Ninghai like buns so much.
Huang Chen thought with satisfaction and continued to deal with other dishes.
One after another, some lively little ones finished eating and began to run to the open space in the playground to play. At first they played quietly, but later they gradually became noisy and filled with lively laughter.
Soon, the dinner was almost over, but there were still many girls sitting at the table chatting. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time that they had too many topics to talk about, and it felt like they could never finish talking.
The same is true for Enterprise, holding a glass of wine and talking with Warspite. Although he looks like a destroyer, Warspite has amazing wisdom, wisdom accumulated over time.
"By the way, where will the Commander be staying today?"
As they chatted, War-weary suddenly became confused. "Should we stay on the Windward? Or should we go to the island? There are actually quite a few rooms on the island. Not only tonight, but also when the port area is rebuilt in the future."
This is a problem.
Enterprise thought that since they had already docked and there were available rooms, there was no need to let the commander live on the Windward.
But considering the Commander's personality...
"Should still be on the Windward tonight."
Enterprise thought for a moment and added, "We should be staying on the island tomorrow, right?"
……
Huang Chen had almost finished eating when he looked up. Shabai had already finished and was staring at him boredly. When he noticed his gaze, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Servant has finished eating too? Then let's go for a walk!"
With that, Shabai jumped off the chair, straightened his clothes, picked up his scepter and was about to leave.
Hu De said helplessly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should prepare to read, wash up, and rest."
"Do we have to read today too?" Elizabeth was stunned and looked at Hood blankly, feeling a little helpless.
"A good habit cannot be interrupted by accidents." Hood explained with a chuckle.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "Very well. Um... servant, let's take a walk tomorrow!"
Huang Chen wanted to say it was just one day, not a big deal, but he didn't say it in the end.
He only promised Elizabeth that they would be together tomorrow, and then watched her leave with Befa, who had already finished his meal and was waiting on the side.
He took a sip of red wine and wiped his mouth with a napkin beside him, but looked at Hood who was smiling at him. "Commander, would you like to go for a walk with me?"
it is as expected.
Even if I said no, you would invite me in another way.
Huang Chen thought about it, nodded, and watched Hood stand up, take his arm, and walk to the side with him.
Chapter 513 Commander, do you want to live in the castle?
"So, there is an abandoned offshore oil well more than a hundred nautical miles away from here?" Enterprise said in surprise, holding a glass of wine.
