Battleships in the 2040 Strait
There was nothing to say all night, and everyone on the Zhiyuan basically didn't have a good rest, Xiao Letian and Wang Ju, as well as Sima Yun and Luo Huo, carried out the final strategic deliberations, hoping to make all the preparations before setting foot on British soil.
Jaechun was forced to lie in bed early to rest by the senior Xi, and Emperor Tongzhi must maintain sufficient energy at this critical moment.
But how could the little emperor sleep, he was in a state of excitement all day, and he tossed and turned the baked cakes again and again until two or three o'clock in the morning before falling asleep in a daze.
There is also Xiang Ying, the core members of this group of stormtroopers got together in the name of a tea party, and they only rested for about three hours for the whole night.
The next morning, when everyone walked out of the cabin with their front and back feet, they found that they were all staring at a pair of dark circles, and it turned out that none of the big guys slept for more than three hours all night.
"Hehe, master, you haven't slept well either......" Jae Chun said scratching his head.
Before Xiao Lotian could speak, Xiang Ying replied lightly from behind him, "Of course the master is busy, didn't you already know......?"
Listening to Xiang Ying's ridicule, Zai Chun's little face turned red and ignored him, and he smiled apologetically at Xiao Letian, "Master, I've been standing for a day, I'm really tired...... I heard that you and Wang Ju were meeting, so I didn't dare to disturb and went to rest first......"
"Hehe, let's rest, look at your little sallow face, you haven't rested well, do you still take care of your body bones......" Xiang Ying wiped Zaichun's body and walked into the restaurant, dropping the mocking words.
"You, master, look at him...... Why is he like this?" and he didn't know how to refute him.
Xiao Lotian waved his hand, "Let's go, it's not a big deal, I know how to fight every day, and I went to eat...... In a little while we will be able to enter the English Channel, and the scene will be more spectacular than yesterday, so remember to eat more in the morning!"
The big kitchen and know that the nobles stay up late, from two o'clock in the morning Liu Dadao led people to start boiling ginseng soup, the guinea fowl sent by the British supply ship, which is a rare breed in the Qing Dynasty.
The old ginseng brought from China is put together in a large casserole to make soup, and the low heat is enough to boil until the morning, and when the lid is lifted at this moment, the strong fragrance of the ingredients comes to the nose.
"Hooray, you can drink two more bowls today, why did you stay up late again......?" Slave, I'm distressed!" Liu Dadao actually wiped away his tears in front of everyone.
He is not afraid of revealing his identity, anyway, the identity he played is the imperial chef of the Forbidden City, even if he expresses his loyalty to the emperor in front of everyone, he should be shared.
It is strange to say, this is really dark under the lights, the more Liu Dadao shows his loyalty to the little emperor in front of everyone, the more the CIA feels that he is not harmful, and the degree of suspicion is getting lower and lower.
The breakfast is very hearty, silver silk rolls, gold and silver steamed buns, fried dough sticks, door nail bean buns, meat and vegetable buns...... There are more than 10 kinds of staple foods alone.
The side dishes are even more hearty, such as fruit salad for pastries, stewed sea fish, charcoal-grilled fish fillet, and even makeshift fish floss, plus a variety of vegetables, and a long table is full.
Of course, the highlight is the big casserole ginseng soup, which is a limited supply, only officers above the major can get a bowl, and only Xiao Letian, Zaichun and other big names can be supplied in unlimited quantities.
But this thing is too drunk and gets angry, Xiao Lotian hasn't touched a woman for three months, he doesn't dare to drink too much, in case his nose sprays blood again on a social occasion, it will be a joke.
This meal was not sweet, because he had something in his heart, and he ate the door nail bean bun and pushed it to the tip of his nose, and Xiao Letian, who was watching, pointed at his mouth with chopsticks.
The little four Xidu next to him were ashamed of His Majesty, and said in a low voice, "Long live Lord, you can be steady and drink some ginseng soup......"
Jae-chun knows that there must be a lot of things today, especially busy, and he may not be able to eat lunch and dinner, if he meets a VIP banquet temporarily, no matter how good the meal is at that time, he can only touch his lips, and he can't eat if he wants to be full.
So now I have to force myself to eat more, and I have to press down hard. After eating two bean buns, Zaichun set his sights on a cage of crab meat xiaolongbao, which is a filling made of pure crab meat, and the countries on the Mediterranean coast send a whole boatload of seafood to Zaichun every day, and the crabs have become a disaster.
But in diplomatic occasions, other people's gifts can't be ignored, so they can only let the chefs do their best to cook in different ways.
Pure crab meat xiaolongbao is Liu Dadao's idea, after Zaichun ate it, he made a decision on the spot to give him the first freshness in the world, and also supported Liu Dadao to open a special store like this in the future.
As a result, Xiao Letian sprayed indiscriminately, "Such an expensive bun, and you still open a store?" This can only be a precious product eaten by high-ranking officials and nobles, and the middle class can't afford to eat it, so you better keep him in the imperial dining room!"
Zaichun didn't dare to refute with the master, so he had to stuff it into his mouth, but as soon as he ate two buns, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the hatch, it was Wang Junlan, the personal clerk of the Wang Bureau and the leader of the living note group.
"Führer...... Your Majesty...... We have already rounded the Brittany Peninsula, we have left the Bay of Biscay and entered the Channel, the English ......Channel."
"What are you yelling about? I don't have any concentration at all, what's the strange ...... about entering the strait" Wang Huaiyuan became angry when he saw the rough appearance of his subordinates.
But today, Wang Junlan didn't care about any etiquette, he gasped and said, "Führer, the British fleet has all been on deck, and the formation has also changed...... They're greeting a warship in the strait!"
"Oh my God, the British have sent a sail battleship to welcome us......"
Xiao Letian was also anxious, "Don't gasp for breath, what the hell is going on? What's so great about a sail battleship?"
"Führer, it's the Victory! It's the Victory that General Nelson is on! The British have sent the Victory to meet us......"
There was a crisp crack, and everyone saw that the coffee cup in Xiang Ying's hand was smashed to the ground, and the expression on the young captain's face was already sluggish.
In less than three seconds, Xiang Ying jumped up and ran out!
Xiao Lotian also reacted, he grabbed Zaichun and said, "Go, hurry up!" This is the spiritual totem of the British Royal Navy, we must pay enough respect!"
"What a big deal, Nelson is the god of war of the British Navy!"
Jae-chun was dragged by the master and stumbled forward, shouting "What's going on, what's going on?Who is Nelson?What the hell is the Victory......
"Master, count it, it hurts......"
But when the two of them rushed to the foredeck, they were shocked by the scene on the sea!
