Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 477: Some small preparations

Chapter 477 Some Small Preparations
"Good morning, Miss Lexington!" Lexington strolled down the streets of Gloria Island.

This is not very far from the Deacon's Mansion. It is an old street that existed before Huang Jiang came to Jialan Island.There are not many pedestrians on the road, and most of them are elderly people.Lexington has a certain amount of respect for them. Almost all residents here are natives of Jia Lan, and they are the most solid supporters of Huangjiang.

Compared with when I first came here, the changes here are either big or not.The biggest change is that all the houses have been renovated.After the Huangjiang River launched a plan to promote the livestock industry on Jialan Island, almost all the residents here participated in the sheep raising movement. During the subsequent establishment of Jiagang and the construction of Beigang, they also contributed a considerable part of their efforts. At the call of the elders, young people who were wandering around returned to their hometowns one after another, injecting precious vitality into Gloria Island, which was originally short of labor.

With the continuous development of Gloria, especially after Iris Island and Wutou Island were included in Gloria, people's lives on Gloria began to advance with each passing day. Most of the old houses were renovated during that time. .However, this old street still retains a bit of its original flavor.

On the bluestone, last night's drizzle left a thin layer of water stains. Green moss had already covered the bumpy bluestone, and the air was filled with a scent that couldn't be described as fragrant but refreshing.

This is the smell after the rain.

The sun is high in the sky, and the sunlight is scattered, passing through the eaves of the house, leaving a light and shadow on the road made of bluestone slabs.This road was built the year Huang Jiang first arrived. At that time, local materials were used. All the stones were mined from the rocky hills in the south.

Now that Jialan roads are built, it is probably impossible to use such primitive stone slabs anymore. All roads are paved with cement, sand and gravel, and sometimes asphalt is also used.

Lexington still prefers the old streets.

Because Huang Jiang likes this kind of scenery.

Although he never said it, Lexington still knew it very well.

Children born in a land of plenty will always miss the old streets. The damp alleys and the moss on the walls on both sides can always arouse their feelings.This was what Yixian told her, and it was also the first step for the young Lexington to understand her commander.

Lexington could not understand this feeling, but it did not prevent this girl who was accustomed to modernity and industry from appreciating this unique and natural scenery.

Lexington took a breath of cool air and felt that the rain was really good.

The heat that had lasted for many days had been swept away, but the temperature did not drop sharply, disrupting Lexington's plans.

Walking on the stone road, there are many European-style buildings on both sides. Lexington is not sure about the local term for Azure. These buildings always give her the impression that they are like the buildings on both sides of the old streets of Venice, with the occasional dessert shop. , further deepening the impression of Lexington.

Should I buy some cake?

Lexington hesitated, preferring to make her own cake instead of buying it.

And Huang Jiang also liked the cakes she made more.The only regret is that Huang Jiang doesn't like eating pie very much. Whether it's apple pie, pineapple pie or pudding pie, Huang Jiang doesn't like it very much, because according to the most traditional method of American ship girls, the pie made is too delicious. It's so sweet that Huang Jiang can't get used to it.

Lexington's pie has actually been improved and is completely in line with Huangjiang's taste. This was improved together with the fishery officials when he, Yixian, Shuanghai and the others were learning cooking in the port area.All dishes have no fixed taste. They are sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and sweet. Everyone's tastes are endless. Just like Chinese food will add sugar desperately when it comes to American cuisine, fast food will continue to evolve when it comes to Huangjiang's hometown. , it no longer feels like cheap fast food, and the menu is so rich that it doesn’t look like high-energy fast food like fried chicken burgers.

But on such a day, Chinese food is more suitable, right?
Lexington walked into a roadside store, which was the place she visited most often. No matter how many people came to the deacon's house, Lexington still preferred to go out to buy groceries by herself, rather than leaving the shopping to outsiders. This way it feels like home rather than an institution.

You still have to buy the ingredients for the cake, just use it as a dessert after the meal.

Lexington is not very confident in her Chinese pastry skills. She can never make Huang Jiang's favorite golden cake, so she might as well make the small cakes that she is best at.

Lexington skillfully picked up a few of Huang Jiang's favorite foods. Three dishes and one soup were enough for the two of them to have a small reunion.

The clerk recognized Lexington and knew that she was the sea spirit from Garland Territory.However, Lexington didn't like other people's respectful looks, and the clerk gradually got used to this gentle housewife-like sea spirit, and told Lexington small stories about the neighborhood as if it were commonplace.

Ah, really, I'm more like a full-time wife than a ship's wife.

Lexington smiled brightly.

She didn't hate the feeling.Lexington was no longer the Lexington she had been during the war, and the desire for victory had dissipated from her heart.

Woo~ No, I’m still a little willful.Lexington picked up some beautiful tomatoes and grabbed some eggs.It is estimated that the Deacon Mansion will be the time of the two of them for a long time, and buying more would be a waste.

She picked a few more eggs.

Huang Jiang likes tomato egg drop soup the most.

I still have a little bit of a competitive mind.

Lexington suddenly thought.

At least he couldn't lose to Xianghe.

There are other wedding ships.

Lexington deftly paid the bill, despite the clerk's repeated refusals.

The cake doesn’t require too many ingredients. The milk is ready-made. The farm on Gloria Island will send fresh milk every month. Lexington can’t refuse it. As for the flour, there is still some leftover from the last time I made the cake. …

Well, let’s buy some more fruit...

When Lexington came back, the sun had passed through the haze of the morning and gradually gained a little warmth.Lexington is wearing new clothes today, but there is no need for her to pay attention to them. As a ship girl, the clothes themselves can actually be attached to the ship's uniform. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if they were damaged during battle.

In fact, most of the self-damage control abilities after the war were used to repair clothes. Although the ship girls probably wouldn't care if the admiral saw such a scene, they still need to guard against outsiders.

"Sister Lexington!" When passing by the Old Port, Lexington heard the voice of the big mackerel.

"Here we come." Lexington put the things into the ship's suit and then came up.

"Hehe, I always handle your matters quickly!" The big mackerel looked ambiguous, "Especially this time!"

"Go!" Lexington flicked the big mackerel's forehead.

The big mackerel took out a big net from behind, and the net was full of lively seafood: "I just caught it, the archer fish and I pulled a big net."

"That's a lot." Lexington smiled helplessly, "It's not a big party for the ship girls, so there's no need for so many."

"You can eat them as you like. If there are too many, just keep them or freeze them." The big mackerel said nonchalantly, "Everyone likes to eat fish anyway."

"That will take a long time." Lexington still accepted it, but there was a sudden pause.

"Are some of them highly poisonous?" Lexington pointed.

"I didn't pick it. I pulled it over as soon as it was caught in the net." The big mackerel scratched his head, "But if the commander eats it, he will be fine."

"Even if it's the Yellow River, your mouth will be numb." Lexington cleaned up and picked out the poisonous fish, "Be careful next time."

"I know!" said the big mackerel.

"Bye, sister Lexington, I'm going to play with Dafeng." The big mackerel turned over and jumped into the sea, floating on the surface, and said to Lexington.

"Don't go too crazy," Lexington urged.
