Chapter 154: Can't afford it
"Admiral, what's next for you?" It was Veneto who spoke, and she took the steamed bun handed over by Chu Yang, and she ate it carefully. There's no way, because of her short stature, little Lori can't reach the steamed buns on the plate across the table.
Today's breakfast is not very rich, but it is purely Chinese. Thick porridge cooked with rice and red dates, steamed soft white steamed buns, and scrambled eggs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a plate of cold green bamboo shoots made by Cayo and Avier under Chu Yang's guidance.
Originally, Chu Yang was worried that they would not be used to eating Chinese food, but now that he looks at it, he is completely worried. Just by looking at their proficiency in chopsticks, we know that several people have not eaten less Chinese food in the past, and their eating habits are not purely Western.
"I'm going to hang out with Richelieu."
Although it is said that it is not suitable to go out on such a snowy day, since he had promised Richelieu to accompany her to go shopping yesterday, Chu Yang would never break his promise. Besides, this is a big city, not a rural mountain, and when the weather arrives, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow, and even if you want to figure it out, you can't get out. But in Blanca, there is no such worry, at least the snow on the street must be cleared by sanitation workers, so there is really nothing inconvenient except for the slippery spots on the road.
"I'll go, I'll go." Camicia taps the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks.
"Shut up, is there any etiquette, only beggars will knock on the bowl with chopsticks, what kind of etiquette." Veneto scolded.
The eldest sister is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette, excluding the contrasting Lori body type, every move reveals a trace of aristocratic elegance.
In fact, on the entire dining table, except for Chu Yang, who still retains a rough eating style, everyone else's eating movements are very elegant, even Camicia, who was reprimanded as a beggar by Veneto, does not know how many times stronger than Chu Yang.
"The Admiral also knocked the bowl with chopsticks, why don't you talk about him." Camicia pouted dissatisfied.
"The Admiral is the Admiral, and you are you." Veneto: This is a complete double standard. In her mind, Chu Yang was originally a waste material, so she didn't bother to say, let him go! But Camicia is different, as an Italian shipwive, she Veneto has the responsibility to teach them well, so as not to lose them in the future.
All right! He was also a beggar. Chu Yang stopped a little helplessly, and knocked on the bowl with chopsticks for a while. Compared with a group of ship girls who eat elegantly and chew slowly, he solves the battle in less than five minutes, and his movements are a little too fast, isn't this boring! Unconscious actions were despised by Veneto as a beggar.
"What do you have for today?"
"I don't know when you plan to return to the town guard, Commander?" The Prince of Wales did not answer Chu Yang's question directly, but asked rhetorically.
"I don't care, just return to the town guard mansion before Chinese New Year's Eve." Chu Yang Road. Before leaving, Lexington told him that no matter whether he found Tirpitz or not, he must go back before the Spring Festival, and everyone was still waiting for him to spend a reunion with him in the town guard's mansion!
Think about the first two years at the Rongcheng Naval Academy, every Spring Festival is the most difficult day for him. The academy will have a half-month holiday before the Spring Festival, whether it is a foreign or local student, they have already packed their bags and gone home for the New Year. The ship's branch is very lively, and he will also be invited to the Chinese New Year's Eve party. But the loneliness of the soul will not change because of the lively environment.
But this year is different, he has a wife and a family, even if Lexington doesn't ask him, he will rush back to celebrate the New Year with everyone.
"In that case, it's not in a hurry, but we have to speed up the process, Veneto, how are you doing there?" The Prince of Wales put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"No problem, the day-to-day affairs of the gang are themselves in charge of Edward and a few of them, just. After we left, we didn't know if they were going to live in town. Veneto thought for a moment and spoke.
When the gang was founded, neither she nor the Prince of Wales could have imagined that it would eventually grow so big that it would take the place of almost the entire government of Blanca to maintain order in the city.
Although they are not greedy for power, they are not greedy for power, but no matter how they say that the mafia and the Emperor Gang were also established by them, they don't want to see the whole gang fall into a leaderless chaos after they leave. The most important thing is that they don't want to cause the whole Blanca to fall into chaos again, after all, they have lived here for so long, and they still have some feelings.
Of course, if Chu Yang was in a hurry to leave, they would not hesitate to leave everything here and follow the admiral.
But since they had plenty of time, they still wanted to arrange everything before leaving.
"There shouldn't be any problem, let's arrange things in the gang as soon as possible in the next few days, and when New Year's Day passes, we have to leave, and the admiral wants to go to other cities to find out, to see if there are any of our shipwives in the town. And Akagi, since Bismarck said that Akagi worked for a restaurant company in Scarly, it would have taken a lot of time for us to find it, so there wasn't much time left for us. The Prince of Wales said.
"Well, that's all there is to it." Veneto looked down and thought about it, agreeing with the Prince of Wales.
After breakfast, Prince of Wales and Veneto took Cailliaud and Avière to deal with their respective gangs, while Chuyang and Richelieu, led by Camicia, drove straight to the Champs-Elysées in the center of the city.
As a world-renowned shopping destination, this European-style street is lined with large and small shops and shopping malls, and any luxury brand in the world can find corresponding specialty stores or counters here.
As a fashionista at the forefront of the times, Richelieu naturally knows very well about various brands.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived at Champs-Elysées, after asking passers-by, Richelieu took Chu Yang's hand and ran towards a shop not far away.
However, after arriving at the door of the store, Richelieu pulled Chu Yang and walked away.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yang said incomprehensibly. He could feel that Richelieu wanted to go into the store very much, and finally stopped abruptly.
"It's nothing, it's just that the clothes in that store are too expensive." Richelieu explained. In the past, she fed the whole family alone and was not hungry, and she spent as much as she earned, and she had no worries at all. But now it is different, the town guard is in the initial difficult stage, everything needs to spend money, and the economy is actually not rich. Don't look at the fact that they brought a lot of money with them on this trip, but they didn't really have much, and the clothes sold in that store were the top luxury brands, they might not really be able to afford it.
"Don't worry, Admiral, Sister Richelieu, I'll pay for everything you bought today." Camicia, who was holding Chu Yang's hand, patted her small chest and said extremely domineeringly.
