Chapter 112: Mirage
Stepping on the deck, Xing Zeyuan came to the banquet today, and before coming, Duan Qin specially made his hair for him.
Luo Tian said: "If a man wants to mix well, his hair must fall back. ”
He wore a black suit today, which was just bought, and it was also tailor-made, so it was very comfortable to wear. In the past ten days, they have helped Fan Ao move, and they have also registered Fan Ao's name on the Red Shield Mercenary Regiment, and now she has her own brooch. At first, she was worried that she would have a record if she was caught by the world government forces, but there didn't seem to be any risk.
The No. 31 compound on Qinghe Road, which is very close to the mercenary's home, will be the base camp of their Red Shield mercenary group in the future, in fact, this is fine, they will not have to carry everything with them in the future.
The happiest are still Fischis and Fanmu, who play with this and that every day, and they are very happy. When you have nothing to do, you can help everyone do the laundry, or go out shopping to buy groceries and cook. Life suddenly took a turn for the worse, and when Van'o didn't come back, Fischim was still desperately trying his best to go fishing, but now he even gave away his fishing nets. After all, everyone doesn't mind a comfortable life!
"Captain Xing Zeyuan!"
"Hello Captain!"
This gathering is a banquet for only two people, Cook has been busy with everything a few days ago, and today he has to make the final preparations, and tomorrow he can set sail.
"You may be seated!"
Cook's large ship, the Commander, was 230 meters long, longer than an ordinary government warship. On the foredeck, a white jade table sits delicate silver cutlery with fine graining, and an iron shelf sits a bottle of red wine.
Cook is the world's largest navigator, and his taste is really high. When Xing Zeyuan thought so, the sailor on the side held the wine bottle and poured it at an angle.
"Thank you. ”
Cook's eyes were vicious, and he understood Xing Zeyuan's eyes at a glance.
The pale wine was poured into the glass, and Cook said with a smile:
"Don't worry, it's just an aperitif. Abegan is filtered from distilled spirits soaked in quinine, gentian, etc., and has a very low alcohol content. ”
"I don't know much about alcohol, but thank you Captain Cook for your kindness. ”
The goblet that was dragged up was pinched between the index and middle fingers, and on the delicate open-air deck, Xing Zeyuan was actually quite panicked. He had only met Captain Cook once, but he invited himself to such a good lunch in a harbor without waves, and the atmosphere of the whole ship was stirred up by him.
"Actually, I don't really understand, just casually talking. Cheers!"
Crisp clinking glasses, Cook's braided beard is very handsome, his head is raised to expose the Adam's apple, and the light wine, which only accounts for one-third of the wine glass, is swallowed in one gulp. Xing Zeyuan is not very good at drinking, but today Cook is so solemn, he has to respect others no matter what he says. I also drank it in one sip and felt fine.
"How's it going? It's not strong, is it?"
"It's not strong. ”
"You're still young, and drinking is all done slowly, and you can't become fat in one go. I wanted to invite you to dinner in the evening, but only at noon ate the most, so I changed it to noon. ”
"I'm a little flattered that Captain Cook has prepared so much today. ”
Xing Zeyuan's tone of voice was a little nervous, Cook smiled, today he was also dressed in a formal suit, his tie was very straight, and his long hair was behind his head, handsome and handsome.
"The wine is in the cabin, the table is on the ship, and the cook and sailor are my crew, and it's not grand. ”
Cook has a high emotional intelligence and will give people a step down.
"Captain Xing Zeyuan, please use it slowly!"
The main food and side dishes brought by the sailor were served on a large plate, and the steak with crystal clear soup was flanked with just the right amount of wheat-colored noodles, and the foie gras stuck to the side dishes, which looked very luxurious and immediately made Xing Zeyuan salivate.
"Red meat with red wine. ”
Cook smiled and poured red wine for the sailor when he changed the glass, Xing Zeyuan couldn't tell what it was like, he just felt that Cook was too good to him, he was just completing his task.
"You're welcome, Captain Xing Zeyuan, you can eat enough, and then there will be grilled sausages and desserts!"
When Xing Zeyuan was about to say thank you, Cook stuffed a cut piece of beef into his mouth, and then squinted his eyes and said exaggeratedly:
"Quick, try it!"
"Okay. ”
Xing Zeyuan's left hand silver fork lightly inserted into the meat, the fragrant grilled steak is very caring for people's seven medium rare, after the knife is cut, the side of the brown steak reveals a little pink, but this kind of meat tastes no different from cooked meat.
"Filet mignon, the tenderest meat on the tenderloin. Do you like it?"
"I like it!"
Cook is very unrestrained, and his big gulps make Xing Zeyuan enjoy this kind of food even more. Ordinary beef is very woody, but this steak is different, the taste of spices is delicious, and the slightly hot temperature keeps the food at the best time of 10 minutes.
"I started running boats at the age of twelve, and by the time I was thirty I was just an ordinary sailor, and then I met my co-captain, so I've always admired talent, and whoever it is, needs an opportunity to get to a higher stage. ”
Cook took a sip of wine and said comfortably:
"You're all talented, and there's going to be very good news waiting for you in May. ”
"I left home in May last year to become a mercenary, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and it was May again in the blink of an eye. ”
"Time is always a lie. ”
"Captain Cook, what good news did you say?"
"It wouldn't be fun to tell you in advance, you'll have to wait for yourself. ”
"That's right. ”
"And oh, if you don't mind, call Uncle Sheng?"
Xing Zeyuan hesitated, and Cook called him directly:
"Xing Zeyuan, I'm more optimistic about you, I think you will definitely make a name for yourself in the mercenary world in the future. ”
"Lend you good words, Uncle Cook. ”
Smiling happily, they clinked glasses, the wheat noodles and steak were delicious, followed by two sausages, the dark sausages didn't look special, but the moment the knife cut it, the aroma of the sausages spread to the entire deck. Putting half a sausage into his mouth, Cook pointed to the sea and said:
"Know the mirage of May?"
"I don't know. ”
Xing Zeyuan thought that Cook would let him go to sea to be careful, but he didn't expect that he was telling himself a big thing.
"In May, there is a lot of fog on the sea, and there will be a mirage in the fog, and although many people know that it is fake, there will still be a lot of people who will be happy to sail there, and maybe you can try it too. ”
"Is there anything on the island?"
"I don't know, but people have been going for more than ten years, and if it weren't for the rush, there would be good things. I also went there once last year, but before I could get to the island, the island disappeared. ”
"So amazing?"
The grilled sausage is followed by an omelette, which has a salty taste, but the unpleasant taste satisfies his taste buds.
"Do you want to check it out?"
"Go back and talk to the group, what about those who went in?"
Because there was not much red wine in the goblet, Xing Zeyuan was embarrassed not to finish it, so he picked up the glass and drank it all. The mellow aroma of the wine is different from that of the Eastern Realm, but the satisfaction between the teeth is very suitable for this scene. The two had lunch on the deck under the blue sky, and although they were a bit like father and son in age, they got along well.
The after-dinner wine is a dessert blend served in a hypo glass, with a delicate dessert on the side of the glass, and a sprinkle of mint leaves and lemon juice that adds a lot of beauty to the petit four.
"No, no one knows where they went. But this pattern needs to be broken by young people, and to put it bluntly, I think you will definitely be able to discover the secrets there. ”
"I'm not that confident yet. ”
Xing Zeyuan smiled bitterly, since he came out of the City of the Ten Days, he didn't dare to go to other places casually, some places are magical beyond our imagination, but we have to believe because it will really appear in front of us.
"Young people, you should always try, for example, the four contemporary Luo gods, who hasn't experienced a desperate situation, right?"
"Makes sense. ”
"How's this meal going today?"
"Thank you Uncle Cook for your hospitality, whether it's the wine or the steak and dessert, I love it all. ”
"Would you like to visit the ship?"
"If you can......"
"Absolutely!"
A very gentlemanly took Xing Zeyuan into the cabin.
"The boat is a big one when you have the chance, the small cabin is small, and the hull is not stable, so you have to remember it if you go to sea in the future. ”
"Good!"
After two hours of shaking, the "Commander" was actually not as cumbersome as it appeared, and the advanced artillery in the cabin could be ready to be refilled in just one minute, and the power of firing fifty guns together should not be underestimated. Cook, like the other captains, relish his own ship with relish.
As navigators, all their stories are related to their own ships. Cook laughed heartily and told Xing Zeyuan a lot of stories about his youth, when he was a sailor and did not have his own ship, but he had been to many places. What Captain Magellan saw and heard during the years when he led them on a parade was the most precious treasure of his life.
"I won't send you. ”
In mid-April, it's not too hot, but it's not cold either. Standing on the deck, Cook smiled and waved at Xing Zeyuan, who walked down the wooden ladder and waved at him.
"Goodbye!"
"Bye-bye!"
"Spend an afternoon with a child?
"Dagang, you are the man with the honor of 'the world's most intelligent IQ', you should know why I did this, right?"
"Humph!"
The nose exhaled a little, and Dagang smiled.
"Whether it's eating with the Lord of Arthur's City or celebrities from all walks of life, you only have two hours, but you spend four hours on him. Double the time, proving your recognition of him. You are the same for the female Lu Xue and Yin Lingzi, why, the nine mercenary groups that will be announced this time only look at these three?"
"That's how my vision is, now I can only guess that these three are the second-generation mercenary group that will be announced in May, and I don't know the others. I feel that the potential of these six mercenary groups is also good, such as Cloud Sun, Astrology, Deep Sea, Thirteen Moons, Heavenly Soldiers, and Fire God. It's up to May to be announced. ”
"The results announced this time are expected to shock half the world. Since the appearance of Beichen Xihe, the mercenary group has become more and more prosperous, in addition to the current king mercenary group and the sixteen supernova mercenary groups, the nine second-generation mercenary groups this time have the most potential. ”
Dagang said, those star mercenary groups and superstar mercenary groups are objects to be surpassed. If they don't advance, someone will pounce on them, which is one of the reasons why these mercenary groups with the name of "Dai" were set up in the first place.
"This Red Shield Mercenary Group has not been established for a year, and it has become a Star Mercenary Group, which is enough for them to obtain this name. ”
"Maybe!"
Da Hong smiled, the tall man in short sleeves, sitting next to Cook, as the co-captain he looked out to sea.
"Today's sea is really flat~ I just don't know what kind of monster is hidden underneath. ”
