“The braised prawns tasted pretty good, and the shredded potatoes had just the right amount of spiciness and sourness.”
"As for the other dishes, you can just practice more when you have time."
As he expected, when his sincere evaluation was given, the expectation in Elbin's eyes instantly turned into deep disappointment.
The confidence accumulated from the previous pleasant relationship disappeared in an instant, without a trace.
For a moment, everything seemed unchanged, and after all the efforts, I was still that good-for-nothing Cinderella.
Elbin lowered his head, looked at his confused and intertwined hands, and spoke tremblingly.
"I'm sorry... Commander, Elbin is weak and clumsy. Now he can't even cook a dish properly. He can't even give the commander a good meal."
"There is nothing I can do in this world."
"Have a good meal? Aren't we eating right now?" Pretending to be confused, Zhou Xuan glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the table and asked in surprise.
As if to add some powerful explanation to his words, Zhou Xuan put the peeled shrimp meat to Elbin's mouth.
"Come on, ah~"
Before her brain could react, her little mouth had already opened, allowing Zhou Xuan to put the shrimp into her mouth.
"what do you think?"
Elbin chewed it repeatedly and savored it carefully. He didn't know how to answer. He just felt that it tasted very sweet.
She couldn't figure out whether the sweetness came from the shrimp meat. Just as Elbin was hesitating, he heard another thing.
"You think cooking is easy? So I'm a burden if I don't even have such a simple skill? But I happen to think cooking is difficult."
"Every profession has its own unique characteristics, and the same is true for cooking. In my opinion, a cook must be proficient in every step and be attentive."
"With every bite of rice and every dish, I can deeply feel all of Elbing's intentions. Then all you need is to master every process."
Having said this, Zhou Xuan suddenly stopped talking.
His demeanor suddenly changed. He half-closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, pretended to be mysterious, and bluntly stated his prerequisites to the girl.
"Do you want the master to teach you everything he knows? If so, pick up your bowl and chopsticks and eat your meal."
Elbin, who was born into a family of iron and blood and had a simple mind, had never seen such a scene before and was immediately frightened by Zhou Xuan.
The girl nodded repeatedly, hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and bowl, and shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice, using it as a token of her allegiance to resolve her doubts.
After all this operation, Elbing no longer focused on the struggle with himself, just as he expected.
Her eyes were full of expectation and her face was full of admiration. She behaved like a crazy fangirl. Zhou Xuan couldn't help laughing.
As his constructive suggestions were expressed one after another, Elbing's eyes gradually regained their luster.
He quickly found paper and pen and carefully wrote down every word Zhou Xuan said, every dish and every step of the cooking.
Zhou Xuan provided too much relevant information, no matter how big or small, which was really difficult for the girl who considered herself clumsy.
what should I do?
At this moment, Elbin behaved like a poor student with poor grades, worrying about a bunch of knowledge points alone.
However, as she continued to feel Zhou Xuan's presence, the girl was not troubled for too long.
She had already made her decision on which was more important.
Trying to take a differentiated approach, Elbing wrote down the cooking instructions on paper and kept the careful instructions in mind.
The two of them ate and looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very uneasy.
After eating and drinking his fill, Elbing felt fulfilled and full of confidence.
"Next time, Commander, can you have dinner with me? Elbing promises to serve you a perfect meal."
The sincerity of the words was hard to ignore. Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand and gave his answer softly.
"it is good."
Just one short word could stir up a thousand waves in her heart. Elbin smiled sweetly.
She cooperated by sticking her head out and quietly enjoying his touch. At the same time, the initial idea was brewing bit by bit.
People are always greedy. Once they have tasted the sweetness, they will instinctively demand more. No one is an exception to this.
He lowered his head and took advantage of Zhou Xuan's inattention.
With a few rustling sounds, the girl quickly undressed and unbuttoned the last button.
Elbin's true intention along with her snow-white body were exposed in front of Zhou Xuan.
With a sudden kick, the girl opened her arms and threw herself and the ball into his arms.
A single man and a single woman, in the same room, naked, hugging each other tightly.
Zhou Xuan would naturally be happy to see Elbin change, but how could this timid girl have the courage to take the initiative to move to this step?
Zhou Xuan was a little confused by this, but there was more that surprised him.
At this moment, in addition to the cool touch in his ears, the girl's sincere words from the bottom of her heart were also echoing.
"Commander, I want you to...stay with me, even if you want me to do anything..."
Chapter 38: I, Zhou Xuan, send you money!
“I want to do something for everyone in Minato.”
After spending a wonderful and unforgettable night with Elbing, Zhou Xuan told Prince Eugen his thoughts the next day.
As the other person in charge of the East Port Area and his adjutant, Eugen's opinion is particularly important.
"Haven't we been doing this all along? Why did you think of this out of nowhere?"
Eugen's eyes slightly opened, with a rare flash of surprise in them. He turned his head to look at him and asked in confusion.
Clearly seeing her confusion, Zhou Xuan immediately left his seat, closed the distance between them, took her little hand, and went to the sofa together.
With hands clasped together and facing each other, Zhou Xuan began to express his thoughts.
"Here's the thing."
Although all signs indicate that Elbing's equipment was not damaged naturally, there was some of the girl's little thoughts involved.
But Zhou Xuan still gained a lot of insights from his time with her.
It was once the most stressful fortress among all the strategic points of Iron Blood, but later it gradually turned into a management center for managing problematic ship girls.
There are many reasons why the infrastructure in the East Line Port Area is not rich.
There are canteens, dormitories, bathhouses and nothing else except some necessary facilities for life.
In contrast, the entertainment options for the ship girls in the port area have become much scarcer.
You can only use communication equipment to connect to the Internet, and then use the Internet to communicate and have fun with other ship girls.
The means of entertainment are limited, although there seems to be no problem at present.
But no one can tell what the future will be like.
Being on the front line, with the constant threat from the Sirens in front and the determination to constantly improve themselves behind, the girls' mental state is always tense.
If the equipment is accidentally damaged seriously, they will be in a state of mind where their emotions cannot be effectively vented for a long time.
If the accumulated pressure exceeds their psychological tolerance, problems will arise sooner or later.
Therefore, in order to improve everyone's quality of life and enrich their spiritual world, Zhou Xuan came up with such an idea.
An idea to enrich the port area’s infrastructure and build a better home for everyone.
"I see." Eugen nodded and answered thoughtfully, then continued.
"Just do it if you want to. You are the commander, so of course I fully support you."
"Don't worry, Zhou Xuan. If everyone knew your feelings, I think they would agree with me."
Extremely gentle, every word and every look of Eugen conveyed his unreserved support to him.
In that case, Zhou Xuan felt relieved and let go to get to work.
Now that the initial idea has been implemented, the most important issue left is funding.
Zhou Xuan returned to his seat first, faced the computer, and began to think about the written content of the funding application.
For today's Iron Blood, applying for funding is not troublesome but difficult.
Advocating the use of technology to defeat the enemy and taking the development of technology as its main goal, the use of every penny of Tiexue's funds is extremely clear.
Whenever they have a research direction, they will invest most of the funds into the research and development of the corresponding project, and the remaining part will be distributed to various strategic units.
To sum it up with Zhou Xuan's words, today's Tiexue is calculating carefully and tightening its belt to make ends meet.
Therefore, relevant regulations have been put into place.
Each port area and each unit will receive regular funds for military use, and unless it is an important situation, they are not allowed to apply for it from a higher level.
After all, science and technology are the keys to national prosperity. When it comes to research and development, and the fight against the Sirens, everything else must be put aside.
Although he cares about the girls, and although he has a good relationship with the ship girls at the headquarters.
But whether it will have an impact on the war, everyone has different opinions based on emotion and reason.
Moreover, rebuilding the port area will inevitably require a large expenditure. Zhou Xuan still maintains a wait-and-see attitude as to whether the funds can be approved.
Zhou Xuan carefully considered the wording and deleted and typed, typed and deleted the words in the document, taking great pains.
After pondering for a long time, he could only squeeze out about a hundred words of fancy words.
Zhou Xuan chewed his fingertips and racked his brains, fearing that his words were not sincere enough to reach people's hearts.
Compared to the difficulty the boy faced in choosing words, Eugen on the side had a completely different view.
She smiled, then quietly came behind him, bent down, and leaned her delicate body against him.
The nimble hands went straight in, passed through the arm, and went all the way up to where his hands were placed.
With a gentle squeeze, she successfully replaced his hands on the keyboard and mouse, and then her light fingertips danced quickly on the keyboard.
With the touch of his fingertips, letters appeared on Zhou Xuan's computer screen and connected one by one.
On the screen, it was clearly written: I, Zhou Xuan, want to transfer money!
Before Zhou Xuan could react, Eugen took the initiative to press the Enter key and sent the email.
Then I heard her clapping her hands up and down as if she had accomplished something, and she raised her fair and delicate chin and said playfully.
"It's done!"
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself for the swift and decisive actions. He stared at the screen and asked weakly.
"Isn't that too straightforward? I think in order for the application to be approved, we still need to prepare sufficient evidence to explain it."
Zhou Xuan thought so. After all, the money used to build the port area was not a small amount.
But Eugen didn't think so. She bent down, put her beautiful face directly in front of Zhou Xuan, and said with a proud look on her face.
"Don't bother with that. We Ironbloods are always straightforward. We are not like you Donghuang people who think too much before doing anything."
"Besides, to them, no proof can be more convincing than your name."
"Don't worry, you will hear from them soon."
Eugen spoke with conviction, and seeing her confident look, Zhou Xuan temporarily suppressed his doubts.
Following her full devotion, Zhou Xuan took her into his arms and waited patiently with her.
And just as she said, it didn't take long for the response from the Iron Blood Headquarters to come.
Chapter 4: The wife under the desk is committing a crime (K)
With a ding-dong sound, he indeed received a letter in his inbox.
Just by looking at the title, Zhou Xuan could know the basic format of this iron-blooded official document reply.
As a commander, dealing with such letters was a common occurrence, but this time, he felt both excited and nervous.
He wanted to click but stopped himself until he heard a snickering sound in his ear. Then Zhou Xuan suppressed the throbbing in his heart and opened the envelope quickly.
As the mouse scrolled, the contents of the envelope gradually appeared in front of him and soon slid onto his reply to the funding application.
