Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1161 Don’t Let Drunk Long Wu Into the Kitchen
The noisy chase finally came to an end because Ying Rui seemed to have anticipated this situation and took out some spare flour.

Looking at Fushun and the three Beilian girls who were taken to the kitchen to help, Lin Lan also greeted Kirov and the two Mercury Memorials who were walking towards him.

After asking about the arrangements for the disaster victims in Nanzhou and receiving a reassuring reply from Kirov, Lin Lan asked curiously:
"Huh? Aren't Explorer, Langyuexi, and Little White Tiger here?"

"Lang Yuexi needs to stay in seclusion for a night to recuperate after taking the elixir, and the same goes for Little White Tiger, so the explorer took the initiative to stay and protect them."

Kirov smiled at him and said, Mercury Memorial Meta hummed proudly:
"Who told Anticus to grow such powerful elixirs in the medicinal fields infused with magic cube energy?

"That would be fine, but the local builders actually left behind a complete set of fully automated alchemy equipment. As long as you put the medicinal materials in, you can make any kind of elixir you want just like ordering a single machine."

Hearing what the Mercury Memorial meta said, Lin Lan immediately became interested.

"There is such a convenient alchemy equipment? Did you bring it with you when you left the base?"

"Of course, but if you want to use it, you have to pay a rental fee~"

What Lin Lan didn't expect was that Mercury Memorial Meta actually smiled at him with his hands on his hips shamelessly:

"After all, they did the dismantling and packing of the equipment, so it's not too much to charge a rental fee~"

"Then have you ever thought that this equipment originally belonged to our Antix, you thief!"

Miss D, who was standing next to Lin Lan, finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to grab the black collar of the Rossiya noble girl.

Even the Mercury Memorial of the Northern League hit this "other self" hard on the head with a knife, smiling evilly:

"You are very brave to steal the fruits of others' labor and dare to ask for the rent in front of the original owner~"

"How can that be called stealing?! I was the one who cleansed all the pollution and erosion in that base, and I don't think there's an Antix node in that base to stop me!"

"How dare you change the concept? I can't stand it! Street lights, where are the street lights?"

Amidst Mercury's words of disappointment, the group returned to the living room of the main building in the courtyard.

Lin Lan planned to have the explorers hand over Antiks's equipment for mass-refining pills and the magic cube energy field technology to the Donghuang ship girls.

Although the Mercury Memorial meta doesn't care about these technologies.

But in fact, these technologies are urgently needed by the Natlan people.

Taking pills that have not been contaminated by X to assist in practice can effectively prevent the Natlan limiters from being controlled by X in the future.

Of course, Lin Lan would definitely not mention these plans in such a relaxed atmosphere.

As the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen entered his nose, he could already feel his stomach growling.

"Commander, let's go help set the table."

Taiyuan, the only one who was not forced to help in the kitchen, invited him, and Lin Lan naturally agreed happily.

Not only Lin Lan, Mercury Memorial also forcibly pulled Mercury Memorial meta to come and help.

The dining room of this courtyard mansion is a spacious building adjacent to the kitchen with windows facing the river view.

He had been here before when he and Fushun were looking for the entrance to the underground secret room, and now this room had obviously been cleaned by Taiyuan.

Everyone set up the round revolving dining table against the wall, then went to the storage room to get the chairs and placed them next to the table.

After doing all this, Lin Lan followed Taiyuan into the kitchen.

As soon as the curtain was drawn, the steam mixed with the aroma of stew made Lin Lan feel refreshed.

"Ha, I just saw you moving chairs in the yard. Is the dining table set?"

The cheerful big sister Harbin was also wearing an apron at this time.

Seeing Lin Lan and Taiyuan coming, the black-haired light cruiser sister greeted him happily.

"Yeah, let's get the tableware first... Hey, is this stewed in an iron pot?" Lin Lan and Harbin greeted each other with a smile, and then her eyes were attracted by the large pot covered with a wooden lid on the stove behind Harbin.

"That's right! It has to be stewed in an iron pot! Commander, guess what ingredients are stewed in it based on the taste!"

At this time, Fushun was guarding a steamer on another stove that was emitting white mist with Lingmin and Xiongmeng.

Hearing that he was interested in iron pot stew, Fushun excitedly waved at him and asked a question.

Lin Lan tried to sniff it and said with a smile:
"I can only smell pork ribs, fish, and maybe vermicelli. I can't smell anything else."

Hearing his guess, Harbin smiled brightly:

"We have all of these, but in addition, there are more local ingredients from Natlan. You will be in for a treat soon."

After saying that, Harbin turned sideways and opened the wooden cover.

The fragrant aroma of stewed meat instantly drowned out the aroma of other dishes being cooked in the kitchen.

At this time, Ying Rui also smiled and handed two boxes of tableware to him and Taiyuan:

“Hehe~ Commander, since we came here in a hurry, let’s focus on stews and Northern Union dishes tonight.

"When Ding'an and Huajia arrive tomorrow, we will show you other cuisines."

Looking at the Donghuang girl in front of him who looked like a virtuous little cook, Lin Lan smiled and nodded:
"There's no need to be so grand now. The real Donghuang dinner should be enjoyed together with everyone after we return to the temporary port area."

Hearing his considerate words, Ying Rui also showed a happy smile on his face:

"Then I have to contact Long Wu in advance. She will definitely cook and prepare a banquet for you personally."

Long Wu is a little destroyer loli with top cooking skills in the entire Donghuang camp.

Although this cute blue-haired little dragon girl with horns on her head is small in size, she is a real culinary expert.

However, as a commander, Lin Lan knew that Long Wu had a fatal weakness.

"It's better not to contact her in advance. I'll cook with her in person when I get there."

He said this to Ying Rui in a joking tone, and couldn't help but look at Harbin a few more times.

"Pfft, as expected of the commander who knows everyone well."

Ying Rui also realized what he meant and couldn't help but chuckle.

It is true that Long Wu is a good cook and he is extremely demanding on the quality, color, aroma and taste of Donghuang dishes. He even has an obsessive-compulsive anxiety about cooking for his Donghuang companions.

But all this is based on the assumption that Long Wu has never come into contact with alcohol.

Whenever Long Wu gets drunk, the dishes he cooks become so spicy that they can be described as hellish.

This also made Zhenhai repeatedly emphasize to him that the drunk Long Wu must not be allowed into the kitchen.

The most difficult thing is that Long Wu seems to be the type of person who gets drunk when he smells alcohol.

He clearly remembered that in the plot of the Spring Festival event in a certain year in the game, in order to let the hard-working Donghuang chef Long Wu have a rest, the Donghuang ship girls let Long Wu accompany him to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

In order to divert Long Wu's anxiety about the kitchen, he invited Long Wu to eat some dishes on the table.

As a result, because there was drunken crab among the dishes, Long Wu slipped into the kitchen without him noticing and made the last dish and served it up.

As for the plate of spring rolls that was served, he realized, just by looking at the description in the game through the screen, that it was so spicy that it would definitely make a Sichuanese like him pass out on the spot.

That's why Lin Lan was so cautious and planned to wait until they arrived at the Donghuang temporary port area to personally accompany Long Wu to cook.

It would have been fine if it was just Harbin who loved drinking, but besides Harbin, he was accompanied by five other Northern Alliance ship girls who drank the water of life as if it were plain water.
