Chapter 722 New Year's Eve
The country is too big, and traveling across provinces means going abroad.
The English-German-French mixed race sounds very advanced, but if you think about it carefully, it is not as good as the combination of people from Northeastern China and Southern China.
Su Xia didn't know how other people celebrated the New Year. It was said that people in Northeast China eat dumplings during the New Year. Anyway, their family never ate dumplings during the New Year. It would be better to say that they never ate dumplings all year round. They must eat fish and meat. Meat is easy to understand, but fish is eaten for the meaning of "abundance every year". In short, they must set off firecrackers before eating the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Let me have some, let me have some." Scheer jumped up and down, and then she noticed that Bismarck was looking at her, so she quickly took the thing out of her mouth and said, "This is not a cigarette."
Bismarck looked away.
"Me, me, me." Willy squeezed in the crowd. There were hundreds of people in the garrison. The firecrackers were set off at the cafeteria entrance. Everyone wanted to watch, but the cafeteria entrance was so small that one had to go through one wall of people after another. He just managed to squeeze his head out, but was pushed back again.
Although many people signed up, including his beloved little house, Su Xia did not agree to anyone because he planned to do it himself.
A large roll of firecrackers was thrown at the entrance of the cafeteria, like a long winding snake. Su Xia squatted on the ground with a lighter and looked at the fuse of the firecrackers, feeling a little guilty. He was quite old, but this was his first time to light firecrackers. Of course, with so many people watching, he felt guilty rather than afraid. He smiled, lit the fuse, and ran back to the crowd in two or three steps.
Su Xia covered her ears.
Many people did not cover their ears. After all, as ship girls, they had heard countless booming cannon sounds, and the sound of firecrackers could be regarded as soft music.
Among them, Xiao Luo is a little princess of the British style. Nelson helped her cover her ears, and everyone protected her in the center to prevent the exploding firecrackers from hitting her face.
Thatcher is a husky and wanted to get closer to see the firecrackers, but Fletcher, who had to take care of nearly twenty sisters, couldn't hold her back, so she was lifted up by California.
The sound of firecrackers crackled for a long time , and finally it was time to eat.
There is no set seating arrangement for the New Year's Eve dinner; everyone can sit however they want. In fact, it has always been like this. Where Su Xia sat, there was Lexington on one side, Constellation on the other, then Saratoga, and Little Changchun on the other side. The admiral-con had already stuck to Su Xia's side early on.
It took quite a while to wait until everyone was seated. The children were the most troublesome. They suddenly wanted to sit in this seat, then suddenly wanted to sit in that seat. There was a lot of noise and fuss. Some people couldn't find a seat. Su Xia stood up first with a glass of wine in her hand.
When those whose cups were empty filled theirs with wine or drinks, everyone stood up. Su Xia raised his glass. He did not give a long speech summarizing the achievements of the garrison over the past year and the prospects for the new year. This was New Year's Eve, not an annual meeting. He shouted, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." A dignified voice, a gentle voice, a cold voice, a joyful voice, a childish voice...many voices gathered together.
"Cheers, cheers, Admiral." Changchun shouted, holding a large wine glass.
Su Xia looked at Changchun and saw that she was wearing a small red cheongsam. So was . Next to her was her sister Anshan, who had long ice-blue hair tied into a ponytail and was wearing a white cheongsam. The two little girls had white wine in their cups. He was a little embarrassed about the beer in his cup, but he clinked glasses with hers anyway. Of course, Anshan also had a lot of wine in her cup.
Su Xia noticed that Lexington was looking at him, and he reached out and clinked his cup with hers, with Constellation and Saratoga's, and with the cups of everyone within reach. Some people ran over with their cups, and finally he drank it all and sat down.
Su Xia saw Changchun and Anshan tasting only a little under Yixian's gaze, and looked at the Su family sitting far away from him without supervision, and drank a whole glass of white wine with some fear. It was New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve dinner, and it was hard to say anything, but I just hoped that they would not get drunk and fight.
It’s time to eat.
Even though the food in the garrison was usually quite good and they could eat whatever they wanted, it was still far from enough compared to the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner that Yixian and countless others had carefully prepared. The simplest dishes, boiled cabbage and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, were not dishes that could be eaten on a regular basis.
Faced with the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, everyone behaved completely differently.
Akagi's eyes lit up, but her sitting posture was still quite dignified, and her movements of picking up dishes were still so elegant. She held the chopsticks in her right hand to pick up the dishes, and her left hand supported the dishes underneath... As the big sister of the Japanese style, she couldn't lose face for the Japanese style. The problem was that with such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in front of her, how could she resist? She could only speed up the speed of adding dishes and the speed of chewing and swallowing.
Kaga drank slowly.
Mutsu loves the shrimp tempura she prepares.
Dafeng's movements were quite standard. She liked dim sum the most, but there was no dim sum on the New Year's Eve dinner. Her chopsticks frequently reached for the taro in the braised pork, ignoring the braised pork with just the right amount of fat and lean meat. She also loved the spareribs in the glutinous rice.
Zuikaku helped her sister Shokaku scoop a bowl of ginkgo and old duck soup.
Hood is a confused girl with glasses, but she is truly a British aristocratic lady. Her movements when eating are also very elegant. She uses the knife and fork to cut the steak in one go. When eating pasta, she skillfully uses the fork and spoon to put the food into her mouth perfectly. She seems to have noticed that someone is looking at her, and she pushes the frame of her glasses with her slender white fingers.
The Prince of Wales sat next to Hood, who loved red wine, eating a piece of shrimp and taking a sip from the red wine glass.
In London, people comment on every dish they eat, like gourmets.
Shropshire tasted all the dishes she could reach and said, "I don't think they are any better than your cooking. On the contrary, your cooking is more flavorful."
When York heard what Shropshire said, she wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything and held it in.
The Queen Elizabeth is a real gourmet and she is not particular about food or meals.
Jiling is from the Su family, but she originally belonged to Italian Camicia. She doesn't know how to drink, so why would she dare to join the Su family? This again shows that she is not qualified. In contrast, Xinli didn't know how to drink, but she stayed in the Su family every day and gradually drank a few glasses. Only she didn't know how to drink and went out every day. Now she can't drink at all.
Ji Ling sat with her big sister Veneto. Ji Ling looked around and helped Veneto pick up a piece of pig's trotter, scoop a spoonful of peanuts, and pour a glass of milk. The purpose was self-evident.
Today is New Year's Eve, and now it is time for the New Year's Eve dinner. Veneto resisted the urge to do anything and just ate the pig's trotters silently. I have to say that the pig's trotters tasted really good. He put the milk aside.
Roma saw the milk that Veneto had put aside, she picked it up and said, "Sister, if you don't drink it, I will. I want to grow bigger."
"Did I say I didn't want to drink?" Veneto asked.
Roman held the milk and blinked.
Scharnhorst was wearing a sexy porcelain white cheongsam and she used chopsticks with great skill.
Spey can drink as much beer as he wants.
Quincy ate heartily, including wood duck, rose oil chicken, pork with preserved vegetables, sweet and sour spareribs...
New Orleans is a good sister. Her main focus is not on eating and drinking, but on helping Quincy and reminding her not to eat too fast.
Missouri was trying the steak. She skillfully used the knife and fork to cut the steak into pieces, put a piece of steak into her mouth with the fork, then wiped her mouth gently with a napkin, lowered her head to sip a small sip of red wine, and continued to enjoy the steak. Her lips stained with butter looked particularly charming under the warm yellow light of the cafeteria. Then she put down the knife and fork, picked up a piece of bread with her slender fingers, elegantly dipped it in the steak sauce and put it into her mouth to chew carefully.
Wisconsin looked around. She never forgot to stir up trouble. She looked around and saw that there was no chance for the time being.
Su Xia ate a garlic scallop, looked at it for a long time, picked up a piece of roast duck skin, then another piece of roast duck skin, and then received the roast duck skin that Lexington helped to pick up.
"Admiral, let's have another drink." Little girl Changchun likes to drink.
Su Xia raised her glass and clinked it with hers.
That’s how the lively dinner ended.
Akagi, Dafeng, Quincy and others must have eaten last, and those Su-style people who were drinking and playing finger-guessing games must have eaten last as well. The lolis generally ate faster and finished early, and sat in their seats to play with their phones, chat, or sit in a row and watch TV together.
Su Xia glanced at Qiye and then left her seat. Qiye immediately took a red envelope and handed it over.
One very important thing on New Year’s Eve is to give everyone lucky money.
It is necessary to give everyone New Year's money during the New Year's Eve dinner. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find someone when everyone has finished the dinner and goes out to play.
Su Xia took the red envelopes and began to distribute New Year's money to everyone, distributing them in order of their seats, starting from the U-boat.
Leipzig knew that the garrison had ample funds, and Su Xia was rich now, and even had the money to buy a dress for Wu Di. It didn't matter whether the red envelope money came from the office or the admiral's own pocket. She watched him give red envelopes to U-boats, bully U81 casually, pinched the face of U96 who was still eating, and smiled, "Admiral, we have some too, right?"
"What do you think?" Su Xia asked back.
"I think so." Leipzig said that she believed him and he would not favor one over the other.
Su Xia noticed that L20 was looking at him eagerly. He thought that this girl followed Bei Zhai to play computer games, console games, and of course mobile games. How could she be superior to others without spending money? She must buy figures. Even if she worked as a model for Bei Zhai to earn some money in addition to her monthly pocket money, she could not afford to spend any money.
"Yes. Everyone has one." Su Xia said as she stretched out her hand and pinched L20's face. Even if she was not his marriage ship, the problem was that he did not regard her as a serious girl at all, but a silly pet.
L20 opened Su Xia's hand, turned his head away and said, "Don't pinch me."
"Then there is nothing." Su Xia said.
"Go ahead and pinch me." L20 has no moral integrity.
Bismarck saw that scene and took a deep breath.
Sigsby the Goblin gave Susha a big hug.
Murasame is also a little goblin. She gave Suxia a kiss on the face and smacked her lips.
Lafei watched Su Xia walk up to her and said happily, "Happy New Year! Here's the red envelope."
After a lot of effort, all the red envelopes were finally distributed. After walking around and returning to her seat, Su Xia felt exhausted and drank a glass of juice in one breath.
The New Year’s Eve dinner ended just like that.
Everyone is free to move around.
The Spring Festival Gala began at eight o'clock, and some people sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
You can play with computers and mobile phones at any time, but you don’t have much chance to play with fireworks.
Both adults and children came to the square, where all kinds of fireworks were set off. The big fireworks had to wait until midnight, but there was no requirement for the many kinds of small fireworks, so everyone could play however they wanted.
Firecracker throwing is very popular.
Fubuki likes sparklers.
I like incense sticks and fireworks.
Firefly also likes incense sticks, which are her magic wands.
Javelin likes the colorful chrysanthemum fireworks that spin on the ground when lit.
Willy has O'Bannon watching over him, but who is watching over Changchun?
Su Xia was playing with the Fireworks on the Hot Wheels when he felt someone tug at his clothes. He turned around and saw Savannah, who was pale. She was the third ship of the Brooklyn-class light cruiser. She mainly served in the Atlantic Ocean during the war. She had no modifications or skills in the game and was somewhat unknown. He asked, "What does Savannah want to talk to me about?"
"Admiral, please take a look at Changchun," said Savannah.
Su Xia found Changchun and discovered that she had turned on the missile launcher. No wonder Savannah turned pale. Savannah had once been attacked by missiles in history, causing serious damage to the hull. His voice trembled as he asked, "Changchun, what are you doing?"
"Playing with fireworks." Changchun said as a matter of course.
Su Xia quickly picked up Changchun. Are missiles also fireworks? At this time, he found Anshan staring at him.
Su Xia was an adult after all, so he just played with the fireworks and soon returned to the warm room. He saw Mutsu, Shinano, Fuso, and Yamashiro sitting together playing mahjong. Daiho sat in Shinano, who was not good at mahjong, to help her with advice, and Zuikaku tried to join in many times but failed.
Scharnhorst, Royal Ark, Constellation and Leon were also playing mahjong, but Su Xia couldn't understand the rules of their mahjong .
CV-16 was sitting in the corner. Perhaps because everyone was out playing, she was able to find an opportunity. She now monopolized Ginger, Fish Cake, Oscar, and the ferocious big tiger. She was greedy and stared at the three little wolves of U81.
Essex's bald eagle Belle McCann was standing on the booth, listless because of the night, and Hutten's three black eagles Ezio, Zikingen and Albrecht were standing next to it. This scene was particularly familiar to the eyes.
M planned to perform skateboarding and rarely fell.
Bumblebee slept on Northampton's lap.
Ibuki stood in the corner with flickering eyes until her sister Kurama tapped her shoulder.
Saratoga suddenly jumped on his back from behind.
Lexington was coming toward him.
The lively New Year's Eve is in progress.
