Chapter 446 Idea
London is gone, the crowds are gone, it’s time to be busy and have fun.
Colorado was holding a basin with mooncake fillings prepared by London. London ran away shyly without taking her basin with her. Now she was a little embarrassed about what to do with those things. She asked, "Admiral, what should we do with this?"
"Just throw it aside." Su Xia said, shaking her head. "No, we can't throw it aside. What if someone accidentally eats it? It could be fatal."
Colorado stared at the ball of mooncake filling and frowned slightly, and said, "I don't think even children would eat such a strange thing casually."
"Unless you're an idiot... Even if you're an idiot..." Colorado turned to L20 and asked, "L20, when you see a strange thing like this lying around, would you just pick it up and eat it without asking?"
"No." L20 shook his head, and it took him a while to react, "Colorado, what did you say... What do you mean, am I stupid? You Grand Canyon, mule."
Su Xia looked at a ball of mooncake filling. The mooncake filling was colorful, and the colors it emitted were different from any colors in the known spectrum. Not only that, those colors were not fixed. The amorphous colors seemed to be flowing everywhere, entangled together and separated, and she couldn't help but reach out her hand.
“The color of this mooncake filling is amazing… How is it made in London?”
Colorado's attention was always focused on L20. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Su Xia's hand slowly reaching for the ball of mooncake filling in the basin in her arms. Seeing that his eyes seemed to be possessed, he quickly slapped his hand away and said, "Admiral, what do you want to do?"
Su Xia came to her senses and said to herself, "What was I just about to do... touch the mooncake filling."
"You can't touch it," Colorado said.
"Just touch it, don't eat it, it shouldn't be a problem."
"No means no," Colorado said. "When cooking in London, you can never be too careful. It's better to be safe than sorry."
"Okay." Su Xia nodded, "Anyway, let's put it aside for now. Otherwise, if London knows that she just left, we will just throw the mooncake fillings she made into the trash can... Speaking of which, let's get these colors out and give them to Yubari to study. Maybe we can find something that will shock the world."
"I think so."
"That's it," Su Xia said, "L20, send the mooncake filling to Yubari's laboratory."
"Why me?" L20 asked. She didn't want to go. The mooncake fillings made in London were dangerous, and Yubari's laboratory was also a dangerous place.
"Why not let me, the admiral, go?" Su Xia asked back.
L20 grumbled.
Su Xia was of course joking. There was no reason to study mooncake fillings.
Colorado still had work to do. L20 couldn't walk after seeing the dazzling array of food. Su Xia walked around the cafeteria alone and came to Lexington's side. National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and the celebration banquet for destroying the Deep Sea Eagle, and people like Ayla from the Ship Girl Headquarters, the dinner must be rich, so manpower is needed, even Lexington came to help.
Lexington was frying fish. He used long chopsticks to put the pre-cut fish into the oil pan. When both sides were browned, he took it out. He saw Su Xia coming over from the corner of his eye and said with a smile, "I heard that the admiral wanted to eat London?"
Su Xia smiled awkwardly. He did not explain, but retreated and said, "I would rather eat Lexington."
"Hasn't Lexington been completely eaten up by you?"
"Speak clearly," Su Xia said, "Who eats who?"
"I'll eat the admiral."
"Then it will be my turn to eat Lexington next time."
"What flavor of Lexington do you want, Admiral?"
"What flavors are there?"
"Wedding Lexington, Swimsuit Lexington, Red Dress Lexington, Cowboy Lexington, or," Lexington paused, "Constellation Lexington, Saratoga Lexington."
"I can understand the first part, but I can't understand the second part." Su Xia said, "Aren't the original Constellations and Saratoga good?"
"Compared to Constellation and Saratoga," Lexington said while blinking. The girl becoming a young woman is not an upgrade but an evolution. She is now a real wife. "Shouldn't Constellation Lexington and Saratoga Lexington be more exciting?"
Su Xia nodded subconsciously and said, "It seems so."
"I suddenly realized," Su Xia looked at Lexington and didn't know what adjective to use, "Lexington is becoming more and more... vixen."
"Shouldn't a perfect wife be..." Lexington said, "She can handle the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, and beat up hooligans?"
Su Xia agreed with this.
"Anyway, does the Admiral like Lexington like that?"
Su Xia raised her hand and said, "I think this world belongs to Lexington, and everyone should become Lexington's loyal servants."
Lexington glanced at Su Xia and whispered, "Lexington is the admiral's loyal servant."
Su Xia grabbed her chest and said, "No, I feel like I'm going to die."
"He looks dead," Lexington said. "Everyone is watching."
Su Xia looked around and saw that there were indeed many people looking at them.
After all, this is a busy kitchen, not a bedroom for two people to be alone.
"Who cares what they do?" Su Xia said. Even though she had grown up now, she still couldn't stand so many people watching, booing, and whistling, so she stood there for a while and then left.
"Akagi, you're helping in the kitchen too." After leaving Lexington, Su Xia walked around and found that Akagi was also in the kitchen.
"Are you so surprised, Admiral? What's so strange about me helping out in the kitchen?" Akagi said, "I remember telling the Admiral before that I'm a very good cook."
"I don't remember." Su Xia watched Akagi spread seaweed sheets on the sushi curtain, "Is this making sushi?"
"Yes." Akagi said as he carefully placed the cold rice he had prepared on the nori sheet, a thin layer, leaving a finger-wide space at one end of the nori sheet to make it easier to roll sushi later. "Admiral, do you like sushi?"
Su Xia replied: "It's just so-so."
"I like sushi." Akagi said as he put vegetables on the rice, such as cucumber strips, carrots, ham and pork floss, and squeezed salad dressing on it. "I like gunkan sushi the best."
"Gunkan sushi?" Su Xia said, "The oval-shaped sushi with fish roe on top."
"Um."
"The main reason I don't like fish roe is that it tastes weird." Su Xia said, and suddenly wondered if she was being a little self-indulgent. No one cares about what you like or dislike, especially criticizing other people's favorite food. Fortunately, seeing that Akagi didn't care at all, she didn't care either.
"The name of gunkan sushi comes from its oval shape. There is no rule that only fish roe can be used to put it. You can put any ingredients." Akagi started to roll the sushi.
"Hmm." Su Xia watched Akagi roll the sushi into a long strip, and recalled a scene often seen in anime, where a girl eats a large piece of sushi with both hands. "I remember there is a kind of large sushi, just like what you rolled up now, but not cut. What is the name of that kind of sushi?"
"The Eho Volume?" Akagi asked.
"Yes, that's the name." Su Xia repeated, "Eho-maki."
A relatively thick hand-rolled sushi.
"Does the Admiral like Ehota?" asked Akagi.
Su Xia just smiled.
Akagi didn't ask any more questions, she found , dipped it in some sushi vinegar and started cutting sushi. From her knife skills, we can see the big picture. The cut surface of the sushi is very smooth, not flat at all, and the size is uniform, which proves that what she said is true, she really has a high cooking skill.
Akagi picked up a sushi and asked, "Admiral, would you like to try it?"
"Eat." Su Xia took the small piece of sushi and started eating.
Akagi put the long sword away, picked up a piece of sushi and put it into her mouth, then picked up another piece of sushi and put it into her mouth, one after another, until she had eaten all the sushi on the sushi curtain. She found that Su Xia was staring at her in a daze and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that, Admiral? Is there something wrong?"
Su Xia hesitated to speak, and finally said with a smile: "Well, who asked Chicheng to help? It's really a treasure."
Akagi blinked and looked a little dazed. "What?"
After saying goodbye to Akagi, Su Xia walked over to Shokaku, who was frying tempura, and then walked over to Fuso, showing no interest in seeing what dish she was preparing.
Su Xia found Yixian. She had her long black hair tied up, and was wearing a white apron and sleeves over her cheongsam. She was preparing mooncakes.
"How many mooncakes did Yixian prepare?" Su Xia was a little curious.
Yixian thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember."
"How much do you plan to make?" Su Xia asked, "I think there should be a plan ."
"One thousand."
"So many?"
"There are several hundred people in the garrison, and if there are two people in each garrison, that's almost a thousand." It was Chongqing who answered Su Xia.
"That's a bit too much." Su Xia said, "There are so many things to eat now, and some people are eating mooncakes..."
Su Xia recalled that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, four people in her family shared a mooncake. It wasn't that there was no mooncake to eat, nor that the mooncake was not delicious, but that they ate too much on weekdays and had no interest in mooncakes, so they just wanted a sense of ritual.
Chongqing said: "Even if no one eats it, we still have to prepare so much."
"That's right."
"If there's a lot left, I can just make fried tomato mooncakes later."
"It's a bit of a dark dish." Su Xia smiled, "As expected of Chongqing, the former British department, the goddess of dawn, has abilities."
Chongqing raised his fist as if to hit someone.
Yixian spoke up. "Even if you can't finish it during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can just leave it aside and eat it later."
"Sure, you can. Just leave it there like those normal snacks for everyone to enjoy."
Su Xia thought about it and an idea came to her mind.
"I have an idea."
