Starting from the Possessed Shipgirl

Yingyong still didn't give up. He stretched out his hand to pull Huang Xi, and then cast his eyes to Manchester on the side, and ordered, "Go and prepare some snacks and tea? Send them to the garden next door immediately."

"Roger that!"

Manchester's eyes lit up and he accepted the task without hesitation.

"Oh, no, really."

Huang Xi greeted her twice, but the maid had no intention of listening to him and disappeared at the end of the path in a flash.

Yingyong still held him and said seriously and solemnly, "I know what you are worried about. This matter is Elizabeth's fault. There is no need for the servant to wait here all the time."

"Newcastle have gone to press."

"That doesn't stop you from coming over to drink some black tea and eat something delicious."

Now that the girl said so, Huang Xi could no longer find a reason to refuse.

He nodded and stood up.

A smile immediately appeared on the brave little face, and he said cheerfully, "Come with me, I will definitely do better than Elizabeth."

Elizabeth has not shown up yet.

Huang Xi thought so, but still followed the girl to the park next to him, which was the place where Newcastle had just suggested that he take a walk.

I didn't expect that he would come.

Thinking so, he followed Yingyong and sat down at a stone table.

The two chatted casually for a while, and Manchester, who had gone to prepare snacks and tea, came back with a cart and said happily, "This is the snack I specially prepared for the master."

As the girl spoke, she first placed some ornaments on the stone table, and then put a silver tray on it, making the originally plain stone table elegant.

Yingyong smiled and said, "Squire, this is much better than what Elizabeth did, right?"

"Um……"

Huang Xi did not comment, reached out and opened the lid of the tray, then his face changed and he covered it back in one thousandth of a second.

What did I just see?

Chapter 207: Manchester Snacks and Tea of ​​Resentment

"Servant?"

Yingyong sat opposite the stone table, blinked, and looked a little confused.

Huang Xi glanced at the girl, then turned his gaze to Manchester beside him and looked him up subconsciously.

Well-behaved, cute, enthusiastic and generous.

The short silver hair gives her a lively and playful charm, while the turquoise eyes make the girl look transparent and have a refreshing and gentle feeling.

Such a lovely maid wouldn't poison the commander the moment they meet.

Is it because I open the lid in the wrong way?

Huang Xi thought about it in confusion, then slowly reached out his hand and pinched the lid.

A crisp knocking sound was heard.

This time he didn't hesitate at all. He directly picked up the lid and put it aside, revealing the neatly arranged black unidentified objects inside.

It was as black as ink, yet it had a glittering, translucent glow, as if it was covered with a layer of syrup, and it had a variety of colors, more complex than the color of the hair in the cloth.

Exactly the same as before, no difference.

Huang Xi swallowed his saliva and looked up at Yingyong opposite him.

The girl's eyelids were trembling constantly. Although she still had a polite smile on her face, anyone could see that she was about to collapse.

"What's wrong? Master, eat it, why don't you eat it?"

Manchester tilted his head slightly and said in confusion.

Do you really want me to eat it? Is this edible?

He looked at the girl in shock, opened his mouth, and then said slowly, "Let me guess, this is actually a dark chocolate cake with rainbow syrup on it."

Manchester's eyes suddenly lit up.

A brilliant smile immediately appeared on the delicate little face, and the eyes curved like crescent moons, "Master's guess is very creative, but this is actually a fried locust cake."

Huang Xi's eyes widened.

The expression beneath the mask even looked a little panicked and unacceptable.

Fried locust cakes? This kind of thing... is this what Port Royal cuisine is all about?

Manchester went on to explain, "We specifically selected scattered, non-toxic locusts, but we didn't control the temperature well when frying them, which resulted in a slightly burnt brown appearance, but the taste became better as a result."

When talking about not controlling the temperature well, a little regret finally appeared on the girl's face.

But it was only a little bit, and then it became brighter. Huang Xi didn't know where to start complaining.

Does it start with non-toxic locusts, or with temperature control, or with the taste of locust cakes?

But no matter what, he didn't want to try this thing.

You have to know that even during the most difficult period of his life, he did go to the mountains and hills to pick up some broken bones, but it would never reach the point he is in now.

"As for the locust cake, it's not syrup on top, but a special dipping sauce, which theoretically has a very wonderful complex flavor."

Manchester said gently, looking at him expectantly, blinking his eyes, "Master, after listening to me for so long, don't you want to try it yourself?"

In no mood!

Huang Xi nodded stiffly, and then turned his gaze to Yingyong on the other side, wanting the girl to say something. As the leader of the fleet, let Manchester withdraw his magical powers!

Yingyong's eyelids kept twitching, and his eyes fell on the table. Then they fell on Manchester's face, and then fell on the table. Suddenly he asked, "Where's the tea? There can't be only snacks but no tea at the tea party, right?"

"This one……"

Manchester lowered his head slightly, with an embarrassed look on his face, "Well, because I put all my energy into the snacks, I didn't have time to prepare tea."

"How can this be done!"

Yingyong stood up immediately and said seriously, "Tea and snacks are both indispensable. Without either, it wouldn't be a complete tea party. Take the snacks back. My servant and I won't eat them!"

well said!

Huang Xi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Yingyong under the table.

As expected of the leader of the fleet, his words were truly extraordinary and he rejected Manchester's kindness from such a tricky angle.

He was relieved.

The maid's face was still filled with shame, and she whispered, "I'm sorry, Master, Miss Valiant, I didn't know the priorities."

"It's okay, just be prepared next time, but let's forget about it today."

Huang Xi waved his hand to comfort the girl and wanted to say something, but she raised her head and smiled, "But..."

But what? Can this be reversed?

"However, before I came here, I asked Miss Yuanchou to help prepare the black tea. It should be ready now."

The words just fell.

The sound of light footsteps came along the path.

Huang Xi turned his head subconsciously and saw only a few light yellow hair and a robe that was a mixture of black and white and looked a bit like a nun's uniform.

"Before the tea party started, he specially came here to have a tryst with someone. You are indeed a commander."

Yuanchou smiled gently, holding a light teapot in his hand, and walked slowly towards me, with an indescribable strange temperament.

"It's not a tryst, just helping Elizabeth make up for her mistake." Yingyong said with a frown.

Yuanchou just smiled, placed the teacup in front of Yingyong and Huang Xi, and said with a smile, "These are irrelevant. The key is how to deal with this emotion, whether to become a beast controlled by it, or to conquer it instead. What do you think, Commander..."

As she spoke, she slowly poured tea for Huang Xi and Yingyong.

Huang Xi was thinking about the girl's question seriously at first.

But then his attention was attracted by the clear sound of water, and his eyes fell on the teacup in front of him.

The pure white ancient porcelain teacup, inlaid with gold threads and flower patterns, looks quite beautiful.

The matching tray and spoon together actually have a subtle artistic feel.

If we ignore the unknown liquid in the teacup.

There is red in the white, black in the red, it is so black, so green, and so blue that one cannot tell the shape and depth of the liquid.

Huang Xi raised his head blankly, looked seriously at Ying Yong across the stone table, and then began to recall whether he had offended her at some point.

Maybe not now, but at some point in the past in the game...

"Wait, Rancho, what are these unknown liquids?"

Yingyong did not hesitate, he jumped up and pointed at the teacup, saying fiercely, "I can hear the sound of the teacup being corroded."

"This is the tea I made! Huh?"

Yuanchou was stunned when he heard this, and the teapot in his hand trembled. His face suddenly froze, "It shouldn't be, I tried it myself. Although it looks different from ordinary tea, it tastes very good."

This doesn't just look different.

Huang Xi opened his mouth but still didn't say anything.

Manchester also looked over curiously, then frowned and said softly, "Ms. Yuanchou, your tea is indeed a little too special."

Huang Xi and Yingyong immediately looked at Yuanchou deeply. The fact that this guy could say such words shows the power of your tea!

Chapter 208 The Tea Party Begins

Yuanchou's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

She pursed her lips and said nothing, holding the teapot in her hand with a very hesitant look, and murmured in a low voice, "This is my creative work, is it really so terrible?"

Yingyong's expression paused, then he relaxed a lot and said softly, "It's not unbearable, it's just that this thing can't be closely related to black tea for the time being."

Huang Xi also spoke to comfort him, "It's not about the tea. We really don't need much creativity at this time."

Although the girl can be said to be a master of creative tea art, the fact that she has tasted the tea herself shows that she is not deliberately playing a prank or being funny.

The cloudy liquid in the bone china teacup might actually be her confident creation.

Maybe it’s because her taste system is different from that of ordinary people.

"I see. It's a pity. Let the Commander try again next time there is a chance." Yuanchou silently put away the teacup, and there was a look of grievance in his every move.

Huang Xi sighed secretly, feeling a little reluctant, but didn't know what to say.

Manchester thought for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered, "Master and Miss Valiant, please wait a moment. I will immediately prepare the black tea suitable for frying locust cakes."

Yuanchou, who was cleaning up the teacups, blinked and his eyes fell on the silver tray, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

Huang Xi stared at the maid in a daze, and the slight bit of reluctance in his heart turned into complete shock.

Aren't you going to let me go?

Fortunately, Ying Yong, who was sitting opposite the stone table, couldn't help himself and waved his hand and said, "No, take this fried locust cake away as well. This thing has nothing to do with snacks."

"Ah, how could this happen!"

Manchester opened his mouth wide, his face filled with shock, his words full of grievance, "So the Master and Miss Valiant didn't want to try from the beginning?"

Huang Xi felt a little bit reluctant again.

But Yingyong couldn't bear it anymore and said directly, "That's right, take it down quickly."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Manchester's dejected expression, and her expression eased a lot, and added, "This is not suitable for a tea party."

Manchester said nothing, just nodded, slowly stretched out his little hand, and covered the fried locust cake that was glowing with colorful light.

Huang Xi sighed and said softly, "Maybe you can try more normal ingredients next time, like river shrimp or small crabs."

"I understand." The maid nodded and looked better.

Yuanchou, who had put away the teacups, smiled and consoled him, "It's just not suitable for this tea party. On the road to innovation, we will always encounter similar problems. This is normal."

Manchester nodded slightly, looked at the tray in his hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "How about we share this fried locust cake together?"
