Chapter 406 Assists
By the time CV-16 finished washing up, it was already after 8:30.
It's already working hours outside at this time, but the pace of life in the garrison is relatively slow.
Of course, if something happens, everyone has to work overnight.
Anyway, everyone went to the tutelary fort cafeteria together.
As usual, Su Xia took some steamed buns, meat buns, fried dumplings, pot stickers, egg tarts, etc., then carried the tray to the dining area in the hall and sat opposite Hancock, who had already picked up the food.
CV-16 also came over with breakfast, including sandwiches, fried eggs, crispy bacon and bagels, and sat next to Su Xia.
Essex had to help her pet and companion bald eagle get food. A bald eagle only has wings and its claws are inconvenient, so it cannot use food tongs, so it takes a long time. Seeing Su Xia and CV-16 sitting together, Hancock sat alone opposite, hesitating and not knowing where to sit.
Bald eagle Bear McCann has now figured it out and the focus is on Essex's happiness.
Because the girl 's shoulders were not broad and she was rather strong, she could not stand on Essex's shoulders at all. Essex did not stretch out his arms, so he could only walk on the ground. His walking posture was like an old man wearing woolen trousers. He said, "There is a seat next to the admiral. Sit next to the admiral."
Essex didn't say anything. Of course she wanted to sit next to the admiral, but she was embarrassed.
"There is a seat next to the admiral. Sit next to the admiral." Bald Eagle Bell McCann repeated in an exceptionally loud voice.
"I heard that."
"Then go ahead."
"but……"
"No buts." Bald Eagle Bell McCann's voice became louder. "You can't be so shy. There are so many ship girls, but only one admiral. If you don't take the initiative, you will be a widow."
It was breakfast time. There were quite a few people in the cafeteria, and the bald eagle Bell McCann was particularly loud. Essex noticed that many people were looking at them, and some even stopped walking. He quickly said, "Okay, I'll go now, Bell, stop talking."
Essex walked to Su Xia's right with a tray in his hand. CV-16 sat on his left. He asked cautiously, "Admiral, can I sit here?"
Su Xia was eating steamed buns and looking at Essex. She saw the white-haired girl with her head down and her face flushed.
These are fried dumplings.
Of course he would not refuse, and said, "Sure, I'd love to."
Ticonderoga was the slowest, mainly because he wanted to eat this and that, and kept hesitating. When he arrived at the dining table, he could only sit next to Hancock.
Suxia was particularly curious about what the bald eagle Bear McCann ate. It wasn't raw meat, but steak, bacon, and fish that Essex helped to chop up.
The bald eagle Bear McCann was very fast and ate all the meat on the plate in just a few bites. After all, it was a bald eagle and did not need to chew like a human. It just picked up a piece of meat, threw it into its mouth, and swallowed it directly.
The bald eagle Bell McCann finished his breakfast early. He stood on the dining table and smacked his lips. Essex found a tissue to wipe off all the sauce on his beak. He said, "Admiral, have you ever had pancakes?"
"I have eaten it." Su Xia replied. The breakfast provided by the cafeteria is no more than a dozen or dozens of kinds. If you eat a few kinds every day, you can eat them all. It is said that London has been seeking a large dinner plate to put the breakfast she carefully prepared. Even though Yixian decisively rejected her proposal, she never gave up.
"Do you eat it with jam?"
"No," Su Xia said. He was used to it. He was not so particular about food and was more casual. Unless Lexington and others prepared it for him, he was often too lazy to bother. He had always done that, even if he wanted to eat some fruit, he was too lazy to peel it, so he simply didn't eat it. Because it was troublesome to peel shrimp shells, he didn't eat shrimp.
"I won't eat it." said Bell McCann, the bald eagle. "Spread jam on the muffin, it's the best in the world."
"Have you eaten it?" Su Xia said, "Don't you only eat meat?"
"I only eat meat," said Bear McCann, the bald eagle. "Essex likes to eat that way, so it must be delicious."
Su Xia looked at Essex. Her breakfast today was muffins . Of course, there were other things, but muffins were the main thing. She was eating muffins with jam on them. He asked, "Do muffins taste good with jam on them?"
"Yeah." Essex nodded.
Bald Eagle Bell McCann said: "Essex, why don't you prepare a muffin with jam for the admiral?"
Essex finally reacted and quickly finished the remaining muffins. He hurriedly picked up a muffin and spread jam on it.
"I've heard there are several ways to eat pancakes besides spreading jam on them," said Bear McCann, the bald eagle.
"Um."
"What is it?" said Bald Eagle Bell McCann, "Essex, why don't you tell me and tell the admiral."
"In addition to the jam, you can also put a stick of butter, molasses, cream and fruit, bananas, blueberries and strawberries," said Essex.
As Essex
Su Xia tasted it and noticed Essex's expectant look. She nodded and said, "Not bad. It's much better with jam than eating it alone."
Su Xia took another bite of the pancake and said, "I saw on TV that they stacked a lot of pancakes together, poured syrup on them, cut them with a knife, and then picked them up with a fork to eat."
"Yes," said Essex, "but I like to eat them with jam."
"What's the difference?"
"It makes no difference," Essex thought for a moment and said, "It's a habit. Just like those kids like to stuff meat into their pancakes."
Su Xia said: "That's almost the same as a sandwich or a hamburger."
Essex said: "And there are also ones with hot pepper sauce."
Su Xia finished her pancake and said, "It looks really interesting."
"Let me help the admiral spread the chili sauce." Essex picked up another muffin .
"No." Su Xia just said it casually. He didn't expect Essex to be so proactive. Essex looked uneasy because of his refusal. "I feel that putting chili sauce on the pancake is a bit dark... But it tastes really good with jam. Jiaozi, give me another piece."
"good."
Essex picked up another muffin.
Bald Eagle Belle McCann said: "Essex doesn't just spread jam on muffins, she makes muffins."
"Can Jiaozi also make pancakes?" Su Xia said, "That's amazing."
"No," said Essex. "It's easy to make pancakes."
Essex explained the method of making pancakes, which is to beat the eggs into a bowl, separate the egg yolk and white, then add sugar, milk, salt, etc., and then beat them with an electric whisk... and finally fry them in a frying pan. It's really easy.
Essex said, and suddenly realized that she had talked a lot with the Admiral. All because of Bell's help. She looked at the bald eagle with full gratitude.
Bald eagle Bear McCann just felt sad.
Essex really likes the Admiral.
