Chapter 152 Enemies
On the first day Su Xia arrived at the garrison, she was drunk by Mutsu. She woke up early the next day and walked around the Japanese residential area with Shengwang. Trees, water, pine and cypress, red maple, green lake, bamboo forest... I have to admit that the scenery there is very beautiful.
This time, following Yixian, Su Xia took a good walk in the residential area of Zhongxi for the first time. He walked through and saw all the pavilions around the pool, halls, pavilions, corridors and verandas. Outside the residential area, the trees are lush, the water is misty, simple and elegant, and it is a natural scenery.
As they walked and chatted, they passed the pavilion beside the pond, and Yixian suddenly asked, "Admiral, you said you have been to those Suzhou gardens before?"
"Yes." Su Xia replied. He had also been to some places, but only a few.
"Who did you go with?" Yixian asked.
"One person." Su Xia replied.
"Alone?" Yixian was puzzled. It would be strange to travel alone.
"Yes, alone." Su Xia laughed, "They were either friends, lovers, or families, and I was the only one traveling with a backpack. Really, after having such an experience, I never want to have it again. But I didn't go there for tourism, I mainly wanted to broaden my horizons."
Yixian recalled that from the time he joined the garrison until now, he had spent most of his time in the garrison, and only went out on an attack occasionally. He smiled with some emotion and said, "The farthest I've been is the city next to the garrison. I haven't been to a place that far away."
Su Xia didn't know whether Yixian was interested or not, anyway he said: "If Yixian wants to go, let's go together when we have time." He really wanted to go out for a walk, he didn't know what the difference was between this world and that world, it didn't seem like there was much difference from the Internet.
"Siberia, I haven't been to Siberia yet, I want to go to Siberia ." Changchun said. Although she always mentioned Siberia, she was a ship girl who was "salvaged" and joined the naval base, not the battleship that came from afar and changed from "Kogan" to "Changchun". "Admiral, take me to Siberia."
"Okay." Su Xia said, "If you have time."
"The admiral is really good at coaxing people." Chongqing held onto the vermilion column and looked down at the emerald green water of the pool.
"How did I try to coax you?" Su Xia was dissatisfied. He was sure that Chongqing had something against him.
"You keep saying you'll take Yixian on a trip and take Changchun to Siberia, but can you really do it?"
"How come it's impossible?"
"If you accompany this person, do you have to accompany that person? Otherwise, you are biased." Chongqing said, "There are hundreds of people in the garrison. Do you know how many days you can accompany? Unless you have sixty days in a month ... sixty days in a month may not be enough. You need ninety days in a month."
"No problem." Chongqing continued, "You are biased and always do whatever you want."
"Do I have that?" Su Xia said, he was sure he did.
Su Xia thought about it and decided that as an admiral, it would be best to be impartial. Of course, it was impossible to be completely fair, as long as there was no obvious difference in treatment. It was fine in the garrison, but if he went out traveling with someone, it would definitely cause jealousy from others.
It was just a casual remark, but now thinking about it carefully, Su Xia also felt that what he said just now was a bit irresponsible. Even so, he couldn't give up. He said, "We can organize a tour group. Besides, not everyone wants me to accompany them on the tour, right?"
Chongqing snorted, thought for a moment and teased: "Get an admiral to accompany the travel voucher?"
"That's fine." Su Xia said.
"Don't argue," Yixian interrupted, trying to smooth things over. "I never said I wanted to go out. I have no interest in traveling. It's better to stay in the garrison than to go out and take a quick look. If you really want to travel, transportation is so convenient now, you can go out in no time."
"I just want to be with the admiral. It doesn't matter whether we go to Siberia or anywhere else." Changchun said, "I like the admiral the most."
"I like Xiao Changchun the most, too." Su Xia said, rubbing the girl's head.
Chongqing glanced at Yixian and thought that Yixian was indeed a quiet person who didn't like to move. She didn't lie, she didn't like to travel. Even if she traveled with the admiral, the focus was on the admiral, not the travel.
"Admiral, you have been to those gardens. Would you find this place strange?" Yixian asked suddenly.
"I don't feel anything strange." Su Xia said, "Is there any problem?"
"This is an island in the south. The trees here are different from those over there," Yixian said. "It's not easy to plant trees. They need many years to grow. Even transplanting them won't work. And the climate is different so it's not suitable for planting."
Only then did Su Xia notice the difference between this place and the gardens he had seen before.
Regardless of the size, this place is definitely much smaller, after all, it is just a place where less than ten people live. There are not so many ponds, rockeries, and willow trees. Modern brick and stone buildings are mainly supplemented by wood materials. Most of the trees are subtropical magnolias, camphor trees, poinciana trees, banyan trees, eucalyptus trees, palm trees , coconut trees, etc.
"It doesn't have to be the same, as long as the artistic conception is there." Su Xia said, he really felt that way.
The garden is not big, so you can walk around it in a short time. After a round, you return to the residential building. The Chinese restaurant is in front of the residential building.
L20 has checked her phone several times. She has just joined the garrison and is a German. She doesn't interact with the Chinese, so she is more familiar with Su Xia. She checked her phone again and deliberately spoke loudly beside Su Xia: "It's so fast, it's almost twelve o'clock."
Yixian was undoubtedly very smart. As soon as she heard L20's words, she knew what L20 was thinking and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock. It's time to eat lunch. What would you like to eat, Admiral?" Even if it was a more complicated dish, the kitchen would always prepare the ingredients.
L20 has a lot to say.
"I'm not picky about food." Su Xia said, "Anything is fine."
Chongqing interrupted, "Stir-fried bitter melon with meat, Admiral, would you like some? Although it's a bit bitter, it's a good food to refresh your mind. It's best eaten on hot days in August and September."
"Uh... No, bitter melon is really not good. No matter how nutritious it is, it's too bitter." Su Xia shook his head. He would never eat bitter melon, not even the meat in bitter melon stuffed with meat.
"Celery and black fungus?" Chongqing said.
"Celery? Celery?" Su Xia waved her hand, "No, I don't eat celery."
"Then let's have mashed Chinese spinach with garlic." Chongqing suggested again.
"Chrysanthemum?" Su Xia thought for a moment and decided that it was the one. It looked decent, smelled like medicine, and tasted like medicine. It was hard to swallow anyway. "Let's change it."
"I'm not picky about food, anything is fine with me." Chongqing imitated what Su Xia said before, vividly, and then laughed, "Now let me ask you, you don't eat this, you don't eat that, are men such troublesome creatures?"
Su Xia was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said, "You are not being casual, you are specifically asking me about unpalatable dishes, I definitely won't eat them."
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "You are specifically asking me about the dishes I don't eat, right?"
"Who knows what you like and don't like to eat? Who do you think you are?" Chongqing said, "I just picked a few dishes at random, but when I asked, I refused to eat any of them."
"Even if that's the case..." Su Xia said, "Pick something more normal."
“I think it’s a normal dish.”
“That’s totally not normal.”
"normal."
"Think about it, you originally belong to the British system, then there will be no problem."
"Admiral, are you attacking people personally because you can't win the argument?"
"You were the one who started the argument. Is that a normal dish?"
"that is."
"I'll fry it for you."
“I don’t want your fried food.” Chongqing said, “I want Yixian’s fried food. I promise to eat it all.”
"If it's cooked by Yixian, then I can eat it too." Su Xia said, "I believe in Yixian."
"That's it."
"Yat-hsien's cooking is edible, that's because of his excellent cooking skills, not because there's nothing wrong with the dish."
"Since Yixian can do it, then it's not the food that has a problem, but someone else's problem, such as a certain person."
"Do you have any questions?" Su Xia was sure that Chongqing's cooking skills were not that good.
"Definitely better than you." Chongqing counterattacked.
Yixian stood nearby, watching the admiral and her good sister Chongqing confront each other, and she said, "What is there to argue about? Are you two children?"
Su Xia and Chongqing looked at each other, sneered almost at the same time, and turned away in disgust.
In any case, from now on, both of them can only do odd jobs in the kitchen. That is the stage for Yixian, Pinghai and Ninghai.
