806 Dinner
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of February in 2217, Chinese New Year's Eve.
The dining hall of the space base that the forward fleet has just delivered was full, and more than 1,000 officers and men selected from various ships represented more than 13,000 officers and men of the entire fleet to participate in this evening's dinner.
Except for the more than 1,000 people present, the others could only stay on their respective warships for dinner, and some special posts had to be left on duty; in fact, all the officers and men of the fleet could never sit down for a reunion dinner at the same time.
More than a thousand people sat at more than a hundred tables, and Ye Fei, as the commander of the fleet, made a brief speech, and after announcing the opening of the table, the restaurant immediately turned into a sea of joy.
Although far away from Earth and the base star, the entire forward fleet has suspended its never-ending busyness due to the advent of the Spring Festival, and only the robots are still working tirelessly.
In recent days, tens of thousands of officers and men of the whole fleet have enthusiastically devoted themselves to the pre-holiday preparations, dressed up all the warships and bases in a joyful manner, and huge red lanterns were hung in all corners of the bases.
Although the festival will bring most of the team's work to a standstill, even Duan Ping, a workaholic, has no reason to stop the soldiers from devoting themselves wholeheartedly, after all, everyone has been in a tense combat state or has to face heavy work in the past few years, and there is very little time to really relax.
Ye Fei and Hei Xiong and the others sat in an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant, and he specially called Duan Ping, Chi Hai and the others to his side and said, "Come on, come on, sit, let's talk while eating." ”
Duan Ping honestly and unceremoniously sat on Ye Fei's left hand, and Chi Hai hurriedly excused himself: "Commander." I'm a lieutenant colonel, so I'm not qualified to sit next to you! ”
"If you want to sit down, you can sit, what are you doing with so much nonsense, so many people are waiting to eat, don't delay everyone because of you, I'm really hungry." The black bear said with a disgruntled glare.
"It's just, don't be so hypocritical all day long, okay? You're not tired yourself, we're all tired of listening. The wolf cub immediately helped, and the sarcasm of the two made Chi Hai sit or stand, blushing and at a loss.
"Alright, alright. Just the two of you talk a lot. Ye Fei smiled and relieved Chi Hai. Sit down, you kid just has a lot of problems, I don't pay attention to those useless, what are you paying attention to? Sit! ”
"Yes!" Chi Hai hurriedly got off the donkey. Honestly sat beside Ye Fei.
Today's seating is interesting. If according to tradition. Sitting next to Ye Fei must be the most important officer in the fleet, but Ye Fei didn't do this, and the people around him were basically people who were usually closer. The captains of each ship did not sit together, but shared a drink with the people on their own warships, putting on a posture of not talking about identity but only about relationships.
However, in the eyes of those who care, all the people sitting next to Ye Fei are his descendants, and they belong to the gang to pull the mountain.
Ye Fei didn't want to do this originally, but there was a group of officers who were not usually familiar with him around him during the Chinese New Year, and he had to be careful with his words when he spoke, what was the meaning of this year?
So he simply disrupted all the sittings, and let everyone sit together with their familiar companions, so that everyone could eat freely, so as not to tie their hands and feet, and eat a good meal unpleasantly.
Seeing Chi Hai sit down, Ye Fei knocked twice with chopsticks: "Okay, Duxian pretend with me, you should eat, drink, eat!" One sentence detonated the whole restaurant, and the laughter and noise of the warriors were intertwined to form a lively symphony, the roar of toasts came and went, and the shouts of New Year's greetings continued, and everyone put aside all their worries and unhappiness and threw themselves into the battle to destroy the food.
In contrast, the atmosphere at Ye Fei's table was the most depressing.
Ye Fei casually took a bite of the tempting braised lion's head, chewed it twice, and nodded vigorously: "This dish is good, everyone can try it!" ”
More than a dozen pairs of chopsticks stretched out together, and even Chi Hai was unwilling to be left behind.
Just kidding, the commander let him eat, how dare he not eat?
The black bear and the wolf cub and the others were not as uneasy as Chi Hai, and the reason why they stretched out their chopsticks together was that they knew that Ye Fei's mouth was not good, and he could not say that there were many delicious things.
Scissors munched and praised: "It's good, this dish is made of pork, right?" Why didn't I taste this before? ”
"Idiot!" Jiang Xue gave the wolf cub a slap in the face, "When has the fleet ever raised pigs!" ”
"Huh? Isn't there frozen pork in the cold storage? You don't need to raise it! Scissors asked curiously.
The amount of training of the commandos far exceeds that of the brother troops, so they are all meatless and unhappy pot-bellied men, this habit has not been changed until now, fortunately, the battleship officers usually do not have basic training, and the nanorobots in the body also have the effect of burning fat and maintaining their figure, otherwise the scissors don't know what to look like if they are fat.
"When you think about it, when was the last time we restocked, and that bit of frozen meat was already gone." If it weren't for the wrong environment, Jiang Xue would have to grab the ears of the scissors and scold him.
Scissors was stunned: "Then what kind of meat is this?" ”
Duan Pingle, who knew the inside story, said: "This thing is a species on the Blue Light Star, the body shape is a bit similar to a pig, and the meat quality is good, so I asked the head of the bear group to get some and give everyone a taste." Not only this lion's head, but most of the ingredients in other dishes are also from the native products of the Blue Light Star. ”
Although it was only four months since the fleet arrived at the Blue Light Star, under Duan Ping's overall arrangement, the infrastructure of the Blue Light Star had undergone earth-shaking changes. Greenhouse gas generators have been in action for a few months, the average equatorial temperature of the blue star has risen to about 30 degrees, the huge ice caps at the poles are melting, the sea level is rising, the global rainfall has also increased qualitatively, and the whole planet is full of vitality, and it is no longer the same half-dead as before.
The next step is to clean up the world's deserts, and the construction of new cities can also be carried out simultaneously. At that time, the blue star can not only become a maintenance base for the fleet, but also serve as a supply point for the fleet after making use of the animal and plant resources on the blue star.
Scissors' eyes lit up, and his saliva almost didn't flow out: "Now there is a blessing!" ”
The black bear swallowed a piece of meat that I don't know what kind of meat it was fried, and said in admiration: "It's only now that this blessing is available, when there are no nanobots, how dare you eat like this?" I've heard that many soldiers eat poisonous mushrooms as a delicacy, it's really a good appetite, I see, I have to check the nanobots in their bodies when I go back, so as not to wear out too harshly, and poison myself to death one day.
