Chapter 220 Completion
Let’s not talk about small talk anymore. Anyway, Su Xia ended up surrendering, so let’s get down to business.
After Shengyu had fully expressed her ideas and opinions and everything was ready to be done, Su Xia began to call people.
First contact Leipzig. The girl is greedy for money, there is nothing wrong with that, as long as she gets it in a proper way, her work ability is top notch.
Su Xia originally planned to go to the supermarket. She didn't know who worked there, so she would just grab whoever she saw and conscript them. Not to mention that the work at the supermarket was more important than the work at the garrison. After thinking about it, she decided to call Akagi, the big sister of the Japanese, and ask her for someone.
Su Xia thought about it and thought that there shouldn't be anyone in the garrison who is proficient in Chinese, Western and Japanese food at the same time. Even Yixian might not be able to do it. Finally, he found Chongqing and Shokaku. He was very concerned about the candidate Chongqing. You know, Chongqing was originally from the British faction. Even if he joined the Fisheries Administration now, would there really be no problem?
Of course, it's not enough to have just a few people. If we want to be more efficient, we need more people to help. But we are not in a hurry to call them over for the time being. We are considering recruiting temporary personnel when needed.
While waiting for everyone to arrive, Su Xia exchanged ideas with Shengwang, discussing how to arrange it specifically, what to do first and what to do later, and try to get it done today.
Leipzig was wearing a loose T-shirt, the kind that allowed one to easily see through the collar and cuffs. She ran over in a pair of slippers with an ice cream in her mouth. One could imagine that her life must have been very enjoyable before she received the order. She was most likely lying on the sofa in her room watching TV series.
"Leipzig, go change your clothes and shoes before coming back."
Then she was ordered back by Reputation. When she ran over again, I don't know what was going on in her head, but she definitely changed into a maid outfit for fun, but it was slightly different from Reputation's maid outfit, a navy blue skirt with a white apron and knee-high white socks.
The person Akagi sent over was Haguro, who was said to have been the supermarket manager along with her sister Myoko. Myoko was in charge of the general direction, but Haguro knew more about what the supermarket had.
Haguro is the fourth ship of the Navy's Myoko-class heavy cruiser. In the game, when its skills were implemented, it sparked a discussion about forming a Japanese patrol team. There was even a saying that Haguro saved the Japanese patrol and that the Japanese patrol was destined to surpass the American patrol. However, it was proved that the Japanese patrol had too many shortcomings and was not strong enough to fight, so it eventually fell into silence.
It has been many days since I came to this world. I have been to the supermarket many times, but it is the first time that Su Xia has seen Yuhei. She is a tall and slender girl, tall compared to Japanese girls, with beautiful short black hair that just covers her ears.
I came to Chongqing alone.
Shokaku came with her sister Zuikaku. Suxia noticed that the sisters were always together.
Everyone was present, no one was dragging their feet.
In fact, it would be better to leave all the things to Shengwang. Su Xia mainly wanted to exercise himself, accumulate experience, and strive to handle all the things by himself next time. Although it is okay to be a gigolo admiral, it is not a matter of whether you want to or not and whether you can do it. In short, he took on the task of being the commander-in-chief, and Shengwang, as his assistant and staff officer, was responsible for checking and filling in the gaps.
Su Xia began to assign tasks, which had been discussed with Reputation earlier.
"Leipzig, you are responsible for taking inventory of the warehouse in this big cafeteria and making a table of what is there."
"Hakuro, make a list of what drinks your supermarket has, including alcohol and snacks. Mainly cola and beer. Given how many people we have in the tutelage, you might need to make a rough estimate and move some to the cafeteria first."
"Shokaku. And Chongqing. You two will be in charge of setting up the kitchen. Mainly... how should I put it, there's no need to make a big fuss for a cooking competition. Given the limited conditions, we can only do our best. London was originally in charge of the kitchen in this cafeteria. What does she know? You two can take a look and see what kitchen utensils need to be replenished. Make sure all the kitchen utensils needed for each stove are complete."
"Reputation and Counterattack, you two will be responsible for rearranging the hall, mainly dividing it into eight areas with a total of eight booths. There will also be a beverage area, a fruit area, a rest area, and a host desk."
"Zuihe, don't look around. You also have a task. Please help count how many bowls, chopsticks, and cups we have in the cafeteria."
"Finally, I am the commander-in-chief of this operation. I am not responsible for specific matters. I am mainly responsible for assigning tasks and contacting people for work. If you encounter any problems during work, please come to me... I cannot guarantee that I can help you."
As there were many things to do and they were in a hurry, Su Xia ended with a joke and didn't continue talking nonsense.
There was no need to worry about reputation and counterattack. After receiving the task, they immediately went to the hall and gestured how to arrange it. Several dining tables were put together to form a long table. The beverage area should be placed near the window.
Leipzig had been working as a warehouse manager for so long, and counting the food in the canteen warehouse was just a piece of cake for her. However, she had no tools at hand, so she had to leave and go to the warehouse to get paper and pen.
Just like what Akagi said, Yuguro is good at work and trustworthy. Su Xia still prefers her cool short hair.
Su Xia was a little worried about Shokaku and Chongqing. The reason was simple. One of them was a fisherman and the other was a Japanese. She soon realized that she was worrying for nothing. If you think about it, it is true. Chongqing was originally the goddess of dawn, and she is considered a British. She would not have too deep feelings for the Japanese. Shokaku is a serious Japanese. The Japanese only care about the American. How could they care about such a weak fisherman? Besides, Shokaku has such a gentle personality.
Seeing Zuikaku standing there motionless and everyone had left, but she was still there, Su Xia knew that something was wrong with her.
Sure enough, when everyone left, she spoke up and said she didn't know how to count as she had never done anything like this before.
Su Xia explained, but he didn't know if he had explained it clearly. After thinking for a while, he took Zuikaku to the cupboards, opened them, and said, "Your task... is very simple. Just open the cupboards like this, count how many bowls, plates, and dinner plates there are in total, and then report to me after you have counted them."
"So simple?" Zuikaku is not stupid, on the contrary she is quite smart, she actually knows what to do, but she is just worried and suspicious, afraid of doing something wrong. Because she cares about a lot of things, sometimes she is not as good as those fools who are brave enough to move forward.
"Let me take a look..." Su Xia took out a bowl. The bowl in the cupboard was almost not exposed to dust, and ceramics would not mold, so it looked very clean, but it still felt very dirty. "It looks okay, but it must be dirty after being there for a long time."
"Of course," Zuikaku said.
"So," Su Xia paused, "Zuihe, your job, in addition to counting these bowls, is to help wash these as well."
"So many, should I wash them all by myself?" Zuikaku couldn't help himself as he looked at the tall cupboard against the wall.
"Just rinse it off." Su Xia explained, "No need to bother."
"That's quite a lot," Zuikaku said.
"Didn't you just say the job was easy?"
“It’s easy to count, but this is too difficult.”
"Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you." Su Xia said. Even if it was Zuikaku, the girl he had always liked, as long as she was an easy-to-bully ship girl, he would bully her. There was no room for negotiation. He was a principled man. "You can find someone to help you do it together."
Zuikaku pouted. It was not that easy to call someone. The more familiar people were Taiho, Hiying, and Shunying?
No matter how Zuikaku complained, after explaining the work, Su Xia ran away immediately, mainly because she didn't want to give Zuikaku a chance to bargain.
Su Xia went to the kitchen and heard Chongqing complain that the kitchen had everything and yet lacked everything. It turned out that London was in charge, and her friends, who were all monsters and dark cooking masters, had no idea how to use the kitchen and kitchenware properly. There were not many proper tableware, but a lot of messy tableware.
Su Xia just played with the ceramic knives in the cabinet for a while. He had wanted to buy a set of ceramic knives before, and saw them online. They were said to be very useful, but no one around him had bought them, so he didn't buy them in the end.
Next to the kitchen was the warehouse, and Su Xia went to take a look. It was full of food... Actually, there weren't many. And those ingredients were all prepared by Victory when he planned to hold a cooking competition.
Leipzig was busy counting the amount of oil, flour and wheat flour. When he came to his senses, he found Su Xia standing behind him and secretly looking at her records.
"How is the inventory going in Leipzig?" Su Xia said, thinking that the kitchen was counting the needed kitchen utensils, and wondered if there were any in the warehouse of the garrison. Nine times out of ten, there were none.
"Almost done." Leipzig said, suddenly remembering something, he squinted his eyes at Su Xia and smiled cunningly, "Hey, Admiral, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask, I want to ask, does this count as overtime, is there overtime pay?"
Su Xia just asked: "Is today a day off?"
"No," Leipzig replied.
"That's it." Su Xia spread his hands.
Leipzig thought for a moment and said, "I was originally working in the warehouse, but now you've called me to the cafeteria. Does this count as a business trip?"
"Of course." Su Xia thought for a moment, "I'll ask Washington for travel expenses at the end of the month."
"Washington, peanut stew, who is afraid of who." Leipzig raised his chin.
The canteen began to set up the venue for the cooking competition. Su Xia never thought of hiding it from anyone, and of course he never thought of notifying everyone. He was sure that someone would come to join in the fun, but he never thought that the first person to come was Kirov, holding a camera and taking pictures everywhere, and even wanted to interview him.
"Admiral, I have a few questions for you..."
"Kirov, you're here at the right time. I just happened to need someone here. I was just about to call someone and you came." Plans cannot keep up with changes. Even with reputation, it is impossible to plan everything. When the arrangements began, it turned out that there were so many things that needed people. No matter whether Kirov had the photo of him without pants, Su Xia would still conscript him.
How could Saratoga miss such a great opportunity to join in the fun?
Wichita came running over quickly.
Then Xiao Zhai, Xiao Hua and Xiao Luo came to express their condolences. Everyone could pinch their faces and all the fatigue from work disappeared.
London brought her sister Shropshire into the hall, as the former head canteen manager, and things have changed in her words and deeds. In any case, Shropshire, the flower maid, is a good helper.
More and more people are coming.
A small number of people came and took the initiative to find Su Xia and asked him if he needed help.
Some people came and watched and worked, and seeing reputation and counterattack moving the tables, they hurried to lend a hand.
The little girl was playing and running around.
Many people came and didn't care about anything else, just chatting with their companions, and insisted on talking to those who were working.
Some people just took a quick look and left.
Some people are really annoying. They just watch, point fingers and interrupt, but never take any action.
What's more, the four chattering sisters came to watch. They didn't do anything, just lent a hand, but they didn't put in any effort. They took a few photos with their phones and sent them to the chat software, saying that they had worked so hard today.
There was no other way. Seeing that the cafeteria hall had turned into a vegetable market, it was difficult for everyone to work. Su Xia could only drive people away and persuaded most of them to leave in one go. So he would rather call people one by one to help, rather than @ all the people in the group and ask if they could help, just to avoid such a thing. Who would have thought that the inevitable would still happen.
It was almost noon and the work was really hard, so Su Xia was preparing lunch.
"Whatever you want for lunch, just order whatever you want. The office will reimburse you."
London kept lingering and her voice was loud.
"I heard that the Admiral can cook. Admiral, I want to eat the lunch you prepare ."
London made a good suggestion and others agreed.
"So do I."
"Admiral, just go and prepare lunch. We will do your work."
Everyone voted unanimously in favor, and the admiral no longer had to worry about arranging the work and doing the kitchen work.
Su Xia had no choice but to go to the kitchen. Of course, she needed help from others, such as Xianghe and Chongqing. Saratoga was responsible for making trouble. Otherwise, how could one person prepare lunch for so many people? There was not enough time.
Due to lack of time, the lunch dishes were relatively few and mixed, with Japanese food, Chinese food and everything else, but the oil tea was specially prepared by Su Xia. Because I had something else to do in the afternoon, I couldn't drink alcohol, but I could still drink a little beer.
The lively lunch is over.
After lunch, you need to take a break. Anyone who wants to take a lunch break can do so. It doesn't matter if you come back later . You can continue working at 2 o'clock on time. Since there are quite a lot of people helping, mainly prestigious projects, Missouri and Enterprise also came. They are reliable. It was not easy to finish the site layout work before night.
It’s time to start the cooking competition.
