Chapter 223 Small Changes
Su Xia was in charge of cooking the rice noodles. He mainly used a colander to blanch the rice noodles, then added oil and brine. Since there was not much braised beef and stewed beef prepared, he had to add as needed. Then the other side dishes were left to the guests, such as pickled beans, pickled bamboo shoots, stir-fried beans, chopped green onions, kelp, etc., which they could add as they pleased.
Xiao Zhai was responsible for attracting customers. No one expected that there would be so many customers, and they were all queuing up. There was no need for such a position , so he was responsible for maintaining order.
Xiao Luo is the tea specialist, responsible for pouring tea for guests and acting as a mascot. To be honest, she can't do anything else. Most of the ship girls are little and smart, but she is consistent inside and out, innocent from beginning to end.
Xiaohua is responsible for cleaning up the dishes and adding side dishes when necessary.
Everyone has a clear division of labor and runs the small stall by the window in an orderly manner.
Since they just wanted to join in the fun, they only prepared a few side dishes and one or two boxes of rice noodles. As the rice noodles ran out, the side dishes also ran out, and there was only a little bit of pot roast and braised beef left, which was saved by Su Xia's repeated stinginess. Their stall was inevitably closed.
The stall is closed.
Su Xia was in charge of closing the stall. She put away the colander and pot for boiling rice noodles, covered the big pot for beef bone soup, and put away the big bowls of vegetables one by one in the rice noodle box. Xiao Hua's task was to clean up the tables and benches, as well as the leftover bowls and chopsticks. Xiao Luo was in charge of wiping the table. Xiao Zhai was counting the money with great interest. I don't know how many coins he had earned.
When they had finished cleaning up the stall, Xiao Zhai had finished counting and said, "Ninety-one coins means ninety-one arcade games. Let's go play the arcade machines. Gachapon machines, claw machines. I want Dragonite, Frog, and Tiger Shark."
Xiaohua said: "These coins are not for you to play with, they have to be collected for statistics."
Xiao Zhai glanced at Xiao Hua and said, "Xiao Hua is always serious. Of course I know that I will put it away. I am just kidding."
Xiaohua gritted her teeth. She was so angry that she even wanted to take out an axe.
Only when she held the axe did Xiao Zhai know how to speak nicely.
Seeing Xiao Hua getting angry, Su Xia quickly stepped out to smooth things over and said, "Okay, stop making trouble. Let's hand in the coins for counting, and then go shopping together." How could they miss such a lively cooking competition?
"We have so many coins, we will definitely be able to enter the next game." Xiao Zhai said, "We are going to prepare lunch. I see Sister Yixian has gone to prepare lunch and left the stall to Sister Chongqing to take care of. Sister Mutsu has also left, and Sister Isuzu is taking her place to guard the stall."
Su Xia looked at Xiao Zhai. The little guy had taken off his chef's hat because he thought it was inconvenient to wear. With his lazy pink short hair, his shoulders drooped and he said, "Even for breakfast, the marinade and side dishes still rely on Yixian to help prepare them... For lunch, please spare me. I really can't do that."
Xiao Zhai looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to participate, then don't participate. The admiral has tried very hard."
Su Xia was stunned for a moment, then she picked up Xiao Zhai and bit the little Loli's cute face without saying anything.
They handed in all the coins so that lunch could be distributed, otherwise there might not be any, and then wandered around. At this time, there were fewer people in the cafeteria, and many people left after eating, but there were still quite a few people. You have to know that all the people in the garrison added up to several hundred.
Since they had already eaten, they exchanged rice noodles for a lot of food and just wandered around for a while. Of course, they had to try some more food. They had been busy since six o'clock and were a little hungry. Finally, they sat down in the rest area together.
She got up at four or five o'clock and has been busy until now. Su Xia is exhausted.
However, Xiao Zhai was still full of energy and said, "Admiral, did you find out?"
"What did you find?" Su Xia was puzzled.
"That's right," Xiao Zhai thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has come to the cafeteria. There are so many people. "
Su Xia looked around. It was the first time he saw so many people gathered together. He said, "Yes, there are so many people."
"Then, I saw Sister Yonggan and Sister Emden sitting together and eating breakfast and chatting at Sister Yixian's stall." Xiao Zhai said excitedly.
Su Xia really didn't know why Xiao Zhai was so excited, so she asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Admiral, you are such an idiot." Xiao Zhai said, "Sister Yongjia is from the British, and Sister Emden is from the German. The British and German are incompatible . They never spoke to each other when they met before, but now they are talking." The incompatible thing is of course an exaggeration.
"It's normal to chat casually while having breakfast together." Su Xia said, frowning subconsciously as he spoke. He thought of the key point.
"Even so, they finally spoke." Xiao Zhai sat on the bench, swinging his legs and said, "They spoke, which proves one thing. Even if it's the British and German factions, it doesn't matter. We are all Kanmusu now, sisters in a garrison, not battleships, and there is no deep hatred. We didn't talk before, mainly because we didn't have the opportunity to interact."
Xiao Zhai jumped up and said, "It turns out that our plan was successful, wasn't it? First, we reformed the cafeteria and asked everyone to eat in the cafeteria. This will give everyone a chance to interact with each other. Gradually, everyone will start talking and gradually become familiar with each other."
Xiao Zhai blinked, his big eyes full of longing.
“Let’s fill the port area with everyone’s laughter today.”
“I have a dream.”
"I dream that one day, on the beautiful sloping lawn of the tutelary fort, the Japanese and American families will sit together to watch the sunset, Lexington and Shokaku will hold hands, the German and British families will sit together for a picnic, Bismarck will pass a sandwich to Hude, and everyone will celebrate sisterhood together."
“It looks like it’s going to happen.”
Su Xia stared at the hall, watching everyone standing together. He couldn't hear what they were saying because he was too far away. He could imagine that they were definitely discussing which stall had the best food. Since they were eating together, they would inevitably say a few words. That was all. He said, "I don't mean to discourage you. Don't be too optimistic. It's still too early."
"But it's a good start, isn't it?" Xiao Zhai said.
"That's true." Su Xia nodded. He had the confidence.
"Thank you, Admiral." Xiao Zhai said suddenly, "I know you have been busy with this matter these days."
Su Xia was really stunned for a moment, and said: "It doesn't matter, this is also my responsibility as the admiral."
"But I want to remind the admiral to be modest and cautious." Xiao Zhai said seriously, "This is just the beginning. If we want to truly achieve our goal, we still need to continue working hard."
Su Xia leaned against the dining table, glanced at the little guy standing in front of him, smiled, and said lazily: "Do you want to work harder? To be honest, I'm a little tired." He was naturally not tired, but he had ulterior motives, and everything was self-evident.
Xiao Zhai pulled Xiao Luo over, the timid Xiao Luo, and said, "Xiao Luo asked you to rub your face, can you try harder?"
"Xiaohua is also okay." Xiaozhai pulled Xiaohua over again.
Without waiting for Xiaohua to resist, Xiaozhai took Xiaoluo's hand and Xiaohua's hand and said, "Xiaozhai can also let you rub my face."
Three cute little lolis stood in a row. Su Xia felt like she was going to die and couldn't help but cover her heart.
