Chapter 57: A Feast of Deep-Sea Seafood
Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard North say that he was going, thinking to himself how could North be the king of this endangered mermaid race, how could he go out with a few strangers so rashly, not to mention personal safety, isn't she worried about others usurping power after she leaves? Could it be that their current regime is the same as the prime minister of a certain country on the planet? Anyone who wants to be can be it? When North said this, Yang Yang and Barbara were also surprised, but the two assistants around her didn't react much.
Cheng Shi scratched his head, smiled at North, and then said, "Aren't you the king?" How can you go out casually, this is the first time we have passed, even if we are fully prepared, it is also risky, I don't think it is suitable for you to go with us this time. Cheng Shi told the truth.
North was unimpressed, and explained: "First of all, thank you for your concern, and secondly, our mermaid race wanders the deep sea of the earth, and there is no concept of a kingdom for a long time, so I said that I am the main thing, and now we are not so complicated, and the entire mermaid race is only less than 1 million people, and the friction between those different mermaid races in the past does not exist now, and we now pay attention to making the best use of our talents, including me, if there is really a chance to return to our home planet, even if I have the past adventure, it is worth it." Before I leave with you, I will also arrange everything on our ship, and it will not make any difference. North looked sincere.
After listening to North's words, Cheng Shi felt that the other party still didn't fully believe in himself, which was clearly a fish or a fish to try to catch a net, but he also clearly knew that he couldn't promise too much, after all, they hadn't helped much, and the other party was more suspicious if he said more.
"Okay, now that you've thought about it, then please come with us, and by the way, is your mother the former king?" Cheng Shi said simply, the last sentence he asked was actually to know the king inheritance system of the mermaid kingdom, if it was a clear hereditary inheritance, the regime would generally not have much trouble in the short term, after all, it would only be a matter of a few days for them to travel to the mermaid home planet.
The mermaid trio were stunned for a moment when they heard Cheng Shi's words, and then North motioned to the mermaid Rita beside him.
"Our mermaid kingdom is a queen hereditary system, when you first entered the spaceship, you should have seen that statue, that is our queen, when the queen was in power, it was also the most prosperous time of our mermaid kingdom, although she fell in that catastrophe, she is still our queen, until now, in the history of our mermaid kingdom, there has never been a queen, she is our eternal queen." After Rita finished speaking, her face was proud and confident.
Cheng Shi was stunned again after hearing this, the logic in his mind now is confused, if the queen is hereditary, and his mermaid mother is their queen, then the North in front of him is the queen's daughter, what is the relationship between himself and North now? Half-sibling relationship? It doesn't seem right, the mermaid mother is his mother's previous life, but the fairy sister instilled in him the worldview of the real universe, and the soul is the core that drives the material world, so he and North are half-siblings, or half-siblings, but in an instant, he felt that he was thinking too much, and the top priority was to solve the survival problem of the mermaid race first, not to rush to recognize the mermaid queen or mermaid crown prince in front of him.
Cheng Shi nodded at Rita, then looked at North and said, "Oh, I see, your mother is the queen, then you can prepare, let's go as soon as possible." ”
North was very pleased to see Cheng Shi's efficient style of doing things, but as the head of the mermaid race, she still wanted to invite Cheng Shi and his party to have a lunch to make the best of the landlord's convenience.
"According to your local time, it should be noon now, let's have a lunch and then set off, we didn't invite you to eat last time you came, let's go, let's go over and eat first." After North finished speaking, he got up and wanted to come over and take Cheng Shi and the three of them to dinner.
On the way to the hall, she asked Cheng Shi where he and his party came from, and Yang Yang told her that she was from China, and then she deliberately inquired about the current time in China.
Yang Yang, who was sitting on Cheng Shi's right, heard that there was something to eat, so he shook Cheng Shi's arm vigorously, but Cheng Shi didn't pay much attention to her, thinking that her unproductive behavior would damage the face of the team, while Barbara basically kept smiling throughout the whole process, and occasionally smiled and surprised, but the two Superman ladies didn't speak during the whole meeting, and there was really no place for them to interject.
Cheng Shi saw that the other party was gracious, and the leader was suspected to be his long-lost sister, so he didn't refuse, and the three of them followed North to the banquet hall of the Provence spaceship, and the mermaid Pete and Rita went over to arrange the meal first.
Mermaid North led the trio of Cheng Shi to the corner of the spaceship's restaurant, saying that the spaceship restaurant of this mermaid race may be borrowed from the dining mode of the earth's human buffet, if you ignore those strange tableware, as well as dining tables and chairs, it looks no different from the independent restaurant of a five-star hotel in the human world, but this tableware is very special, it is clearly the development of the crab's corpse to the extreme, you see this crab claw is their dinner fork, and the crab shell is their dinner bowl, but the bowl is also made of turtle shell, In addition, the fork made of crab claws also has the function of scissors, so that the knife is saved, and it is not understood to eat with such a set of utensils, if it is the first time to come, it is estimated that the tableware will be eaten together while eating.
Cheng Shi and the three of them came to a round table and sat down, this look was specially arranged for them, for no other reason, next to them were bow-shaped dining tables, the kind of table used for the first negotiation between the two sides, I didn't expect it to be pulled from the dining room, this round table is placed here is particularly abrupt, around the dining table is still the kind of chair with a curved fishtail, it is estimated that in this spaceship, all the chairs are of this shape.
After a while, Cheng Shi's long-lost mermaid sister, the lunch dishes that specially entertained them were served one by one, you see that there are deep-sea prawns that I don't know what their names are, deep-sea cancers that don't know what their names are, deep-sea fish that don't know what their names are, and a series of seafood that I don't know what their names are, Yangyang looked at a table of gluttonous meals, and was instantly stupid, Sister Monkey was also stunned, only Cheng Shi could barely keep his composure, this table of lavish meals, if it was eaten on land, That's just to eat Cheng Shi's meal until before liberation, no, maybe a little further.
"You're welcome, it's all home-cooked food, just eat it." Mermaid North said lightly.
As soon as North's words fell, Cheng Shi's trio looked at her in unison, she didn't know what was going on for a while, so she subconsciously leaned back, thinking that there was something wrong with their hospitality, but in an instant, she felt that these meals were cooked according to human dining habits as much as possible, and there should be no major problems.
"Is there anything wrong with our cooking methods? This is already what our chefs who are best at cooking human diets do. North said sincerely, with a puzzled look on his face.
Cheng Shi hurriedly said: "No, no, it's just that it's not the same as what we usually eat, we only eat this when we go to the seaside for vacation, and we don't usually eat much at home." After saying that, he smiled at North.
Faced with Cheng Shi's sudden pretense, Yang Yang and Barbara couldn't help but turn their heads and cast disdainful glances at him, while Cheng Shi signaled that they could eat.
After receiving Cheng Shi's order to eat, Barbara's eating appearance was a little more reserved, Yang Yang was really eating, unceremoniously, Cheng Shi saw her eating too ugly several times, and poked her with his elbow, but he still couldn't stop this thing from eating Haisai, and finally even ate several sets of crab claw tableware, and the bowl made of turtle shells also ate two, the mermaid Pete and Rita on the opposite side saw Yang Yang's eating appearance, and once doubted whether Cheng Shi really had the ability to save their race, and the mermaid North didn't care, eating, she felt that each had its own way of eating, In fact, the more Cheng Shi and the others behaved, the more worried she was that they would have ulterior motives.
A deep-sea seafood feast ended after a while, although Yangyang was still a little unsatisfied, but he had already eaten until he was full of burps, and he really couldn't eat it anymore.
After the meal, North arranged for the mermaid Rita to take them back to the conference hall for a break, and he went to arrange the relevant matters after her left, and after a while, she came to the conference hall with a strange bag, and looked at her bag carefully, as if it was made of sea mussel shells, but it is estimated that none of the Cheng Shi trio has ever seen such a large sea mussel shell, anyway, it is a strange and original marine animal shell bag that can only be described as tall.
"I've arranged everything, let's go." Mermaid North said lightly.
Cheng Shi nodded, and was about to come over to help North carry his bag, but Pete, the mermaid standing on the side, took the lead in doing it.
The six of them came to the unmanned battleship garage in a blink of an eye, and the information bridge immediately turned into Wuling Hongguang, and North, the mermaid Pete and Rita muttered a few more words on the side, and then got into the car with Cheng Shi and the three of them.
"Xiaoqiao, can North's body withstand your teleportation high skill?" Cheng Shi asked in the spiritual connection.
