Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1376: Sardinian Ship Girls' Standards for Banquets

Passing through the theater area, Lin Lan and the girls arrived at the classroom on the cruise ship.

Don’t ask why there are classrooms on a vacation cruise ship. The reason is that the little girls on the destroyer also need to attend classes when traveling.

Looking at the cute children's posters drawn by Anchorage, Feiyun and Fushun that had not been erased from the blackboard, Lin Lan's lips curled up into a faint smile.

"Commander, there are many areas on the cruise ship that are not open yet."

Seeing him staring at the blackboard in a daze, Xibeifeng introduced him:
“After that trip, the zoning facilities designed by the partners from each faction were sealed and preserved.

"Unless the commander authenticates his identity on the bridge, even we can only open the section designed by the Sardinian camp."

Hearing this, Lin Lan also remembered that he did have an independent office area and cabin dormitory on the cruise ship.

His living and working area is connected to the bridge on the top floor of the cruise ship and is protected by a special explosion-proof door.

However, this explosion-proof door seems to be unable to stop the ship girls from attacking him at night.

To quote Shabai, it doesn't matter whether he can truly be protected or not. What matters is that other ship girls think he can be protected.

“It’s okay, I’ll unlock all these sections after we return to the Sardinian temporary port.

"Before heading to the Iris temporary port, we will do a thorough cleaning of the cruise ship and then depart on the cruise ship."

His arrangement was unanimously agreed by the girls around him.

After leaving the cruise ship classroom, they went down the stairwell to the banquet hall on the lower floor of the cruise ship.

At this time, the banquet hall was filled with bright royal-style lights.

The Kimbury sisters decorated the already magnificent banquet hall to be extremely luxurious and elegant. Red carpets and rose petals were of course decorated, and balloons and ribbons fell from the ceiling the moment they stepped into the banquet hall.

The little girl Xinanfeng, who was held in his arms, happily sighed:

"It really feels different coming back with the Commander! We always felt so lonely on the cruise ship before!"

"Haha, maybe this is the sense of happiness that the commander brings to everyone."

Andrea, the high-challenge cruiser lady with her beige hair tied into a long ponytail and an apron wrapped around her, had been waiting in the banquet hall for a long time and greeted them with a smile.

"Commander, we don't have much supplies left, so the variety of dishes tonight may be smaller.

"When we set out tomorrow and reach the city where the nearest lord's castle is located, I will prepare more delicious dishes for you."

Following the gaze of the elegant Sardinian elder sister, Lin Lan saw that the rectangular dining table in the banquet hall was filled with sumptuous dishes covered with metal plates.

"Andrea, you don't have to be modest. This many dishes are already a rare feast for me."

Looking at the dishes, which numbered at least a dozen kinds, cooked by Andrea himself, Lin Lan smiled happily.

But Marco Polo sighed and said to him very seriously:

"I'm not being modest. The first welcoming banquet you've had since you returned safely is so simple. It's really our poor hospitality."

Before Lin Lan could say anything more, Xia Fei beside him smiled and explained to him:
"Commander, have you forgotten that our comrades in the Sardinian camp are very particular about their daily lives, especially their diets?

"Miss Andrea and Mr. Marco Polo are both right. By the standards of the Sardinian Empire, this is indeed a very simple meal."

Well, Lin Lan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. After all, the Sardinians on Blue Star would never lower their dietary standards even during a war.

Therefore, for the Sardinian ship girls, this sumptuous dinner, which was definitely up to banquet standards in the eyes of other camps, could only be regarded as their ordinary three meals a day.

"It's okay, it's okay. You don't know that when I first arrived in Natland, I ate steamed buns, pickles and water with the good man Richard every day.

"Please sit down first. I will tell you about my experience when I first arrived in Natland."

Lin Lan smiled easily and told the Sardinian ship girls not to blame themselves, and invited the girls to sit together at the dining table.

However, his smiling expression suddenly froze when he saw the metal lid covering the plate in front of him.

The reason was simple: seeing the dinner plate with the metal lid up close reminded him of some painful memories from his time in the Royal Camp.

Fortunately, through the appetizing aroma of the food that entered his nose, he was sure that Sardinian cuisine was by no means a delicacy that could be compared to royal cuisine.

Sure enough, after he opened the metal lid, what appeared before his eyes was a classic Sardinian dish - pizza, baked to golden brown and made of mozzarella, feta cheese, green peppers, onions, sausage and ham slices.

When he was on Blue Star, he had eaten a lot of pizza takeout, and he also went to a Western restaurant to eat real pizza.

But this soft and baked pizza that whets one's appetite just by looking at it was the first time he had seen it.

The several ship girls around him also opened the lids of their plates, and various Sardinian dishes that could be called works of art were presented to him one by one.

Seafood pasta made of oysters and fish, marinated steak fried to 70% doneness, Sardinian dumplings similar to Donghuang dumplings, mixed vegetable soup with herbs...

These were still the Sardinian dishes he could name.

Most of the dishes were traditional Sardinian delicacies that he had only seen in Blue Star short videos and food documentaries.

Coupled with the new products that Andrea made by combining some local ingredients from the Teaching Country, Lin Lan felt that his eyes were dazzled.

Just like Donghuang cuisine has thousands of years of civilization heritage, Sardinian cuisine, as the mother of Western cuisine, is also the epitome of European food culture.

Although he had already seen and tasted Longwu's Manchu and Han banquets as well as the feasts of Sakura Empire, Iron Blood and White Eagle.

But the sumptuous Sardinian cuisine in front of him still kept him from recovering for a long time.

"Don't just stand there and watch, Commander."

Seeing the dull look on his face, Andrea, who was sitting next to him, smiled and cut a piece of pizza for him with a dinner knife and handed it to his plate.

"The children are still waiting to hear your story, and I also want to hear more of the commander's voice~"

Hearing the gentle battleship sister say this, he smiled and put the pizza into his mouth.

Feeling the rich aroma of barbecue and cheese exploding in his mouth, he began to describe his experience in Natlan in detail.

Of course, while he was talking, he did not stop to taste the delicious Sardinian cuisine.

Marco Polo, like a magician, produced a bottle of wine from his napkin and poured it for him and Joffre.

Listening to his interesting stories in Natlan, the three little girls, Northwest Wind, Southwest Wind and Dragon Cavalry, were all very interested and laughed out loud at his amusing moments.

The Bri sisters turned on the music broadcast in the banquet hall, and the melodious violin music echoed in the banquet hall, filling this magnificent hall with a warm feeling.
