Chapter 481 Notting City Frontline
Standing at the dining table, all the senior officers were standing, and everyone looked at Qian Nawei, waiting for the commander to issue an order.
Qian Nawei glanced at the crowd, smiled softly, "Sit."
Everyone sat down at the same time.
Qian Nawei also sat down, and she opened the lid of a plate in front of her, and found that it was steamed fish belly!
Fish is one of the most precious ingredients in the northern part of the Wuhun Empire. There are few rivers in the northern part of the Wuhun Empire, and there are more plains. The meat eaten is beef and mutton as the main meat. Fish must be transported from distant seas or via trains or planes. Heaven Dou City only has food.
After being transported by such means of transportation, sometimes it has to be chilled, which makes the price of fish very high, which is two or three times that of beef!
In the northern part of the Spirit Empire, fish meat is often compared with bear's paws, the famous "fish I want, and bear's paws are what I want." It is used to describe the current situation of fish and meat in the northern part of the Spirit Empire.
It turned out to be fish meat. It seems that the train department attaches great importance to it!In this way, other dishes should also be made of fish.
Thinking to herself, Qian Nawei opened a few dinner plates next to her, and as expected, most of them were fish dishes, including fish with pickled cabbage, fish with rattan pepper, and stir-fried fish bubbles, etc.
Qian Nawei picked up a piece of sauerkraut fish with a colander, put it into the bowl in front of her, and then put the colander back into the original white ceramic basin.
The sauerkraut fish exudes an attractive smell of fish and oil, as well as a slightly pungent sour taste unique to sauerkraut.
Because the sauerkraut has been fermented, it has a stronger sour taste than the dried plums I ate before. It doesn't have that refreshing feeling, but it has changed a lot of flavors and becomes a bit sour.
Qian Nawei held the chopsticks in her right hand, picked up the sauerkraut fish, and put it into her mouth.
The pickled fish tastes sour and refreshing, with a strong fish aroma. The small fish bones have been shaved off, leaving only the large fish ribs, which can be easily removed.
Qian Nawei spit out the fish bones to the small ceramic plate next to which the residue was placed, and chewed the fish meat.
The flesh of the fish is a bit firm, not the type that breaks when you bite into it. The fishy smell is not strong, and the fragrance is very strong. Qiannawei can taste it. This is fish fished out of the reservoir, or fish caught in the river, not feed Feeding fish.
Because, if it is a feed-fed fish, the fish meat is fragile, not to mention chewing, it will be broken into pieces during cooking, and it cannot be shaped. Moreover, this fishy smell is strong and a bit smelly, even if it is ginger Pieces are difficult to remove.
The fish caught in rivers and reservoirs, because they are not fed with bad feed, have much better meat quality, are not brittle when cooked, and will not be broken when picked up by chopsticks. They are quite strong.
Moreover, the fish from the reservoir and the river will not have a strong fishy smell after being cooked.
Now, what Qian Nawei eats is the species caught in the reservoir or river.
She was quite satisfied. After eating one piece, she picked up another piece with a colander...
Not long after dinner, it was night.
Everyone returned to the original carriage, and the orange incandescent lamp was already lit on the roof of the carriage.
The incandescent lamp emits a little heat, which seems a bit hot on this summer night.
Qian Nawei glanced at the many officers, and found that many of them involuntarily tugged at the collars of the leaders with uncomfortable expressions.
She frowned, then turned her head to the direction of the dining car.
"Flight attendant? Flight attendant?"
"Come on!"
Before the person arrived, the voice of the flight attendant came first.
After a while, the former male flight attendant trotted into the carriage, came to Qian Nawei's seat, bowed respectfully, and saluted.
"Miss, what do you need?"
Just before, the male flight attendant already knew through the attitudes of Ge Long and other generals that Qian Nawei was the highest-ranking general on this train, so his attitude towards Qian Nawei became extremely cautious and respectful.
Qian Nawei looked at the male flight attendant and asked, "Do you have an ice-type soul master? Can you help me make two buckets of ice and put them here in the aisle."
Although Qian Nawei's words were inquiries, there was affirmation in her heart.
Because the dinner was fish, and it was unrealistic to preserve such perishable meat as fish without an ice-type soul master.
Sure enough, in the compartment, the male flight attendant nodded respectfully.
"Yes, just wait a moment, and I will deliver your words right away."
After the respectful response, the male steward took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out of the carriage.
After a while, the male flight attendant walked back, holding a large iron bucket in one hand, which was filled with cube-shaped ice cubes.
He put the ice cubes in the aisle of the carriage one by one, walked to the exit of the carriage, saluted all the senior officers including Qian Nawei, and finally walked out of the carriage.
After the male flight attendant left, the temperature in the compartment dropped rapidly due to the heat absorption and melting of the ice cubes, and it became much cooler soon.
The many senior officers in the carriage were no longer so irritable, some began to rest, and some were practicing meditation.
On Qian Nawei's side, Ling Lu, who was opposite, lay down directly on the leather sofa. She was not tall, only more than 1.5 meters tall, and she couldn't reach the bottom when lying on the entire 1.9-meter sofa.
Lie down, Linglu turned her body sideways, snoring lightly, the dumb hair on the top of her head rose and fell with her breath, it was really cute.
Qian Nawei saw it, smiled, sat up cross-legged, and began to practice.
And next to Qian Nawei, Zi Jin, like Ling Lu, did not choose to practice, but directly rested.
She put one hand under the leather sofa, touched it, pulled the sofa hidden at the bottom, and then exerted a little force.
"puff!"
A small piece of the sofa was flipped out, just enough to put your feet on.
Then, Zijin looked for a button next to the side of the sofa and pressed it.
"puff!"
There was another soft sound, and the back of the sofa fell back, allowing him to lie on his back more comfortably.
Zijin lay back on the back of the sofa, stretched, took out a blindfold from her soul tool, put it on, put her arms around her chest, and began to rest...
Time passed by, and in the middle of the night, Qian Nawei suddenly felt a heavy object pressing down on her back, and a hand hugged herself inexplicably.
She frowned slightly, woke up from her cultivation state, and looked to the side.
Beside the sofa, Zijin fell behind her at some point, with one arm still around her waist, and she yelled indistinctly: "Linjue... um..."
Talking in your sleep?
Qian Nawei smiled helplessly, then put her feet down, turned around, put her hands under Zijin's armpits, and with a little force, hugged the girl with two ponytails upright, and carried her back to her original position to lie down.
After putting it away, she sat cross-legged again, meditating and practicing...
For the next few days, Qian Nawei spent time on the train, and after several days of long journeys, she finally arrived in Notting City with an army of [-] and a large amount of weapons and equipment.
Notting City, evening, train platform.
An officer-like man in Chinese clothes, armor and cloak stood on the side of the train station platform, looking up to the north of the railway from time to time, with a look of anticipation and anxious waiting on his face.
Their faces were very haggard. They were exhausted after being chased by the army of the Star Luo Empire a few days ago. They fled all the way and finally retreated to Notting City. Camped not far from the city.
If Tiandou City didn't send reinforcements, they would have to continue fleeing after tomorrow's battle, heading straight north.
"Too-too-too!"
A siren sounded in the distance.
"coming!"
An officer's face was full of surprise.
After a while, a long train with orange lights on the front was speeding in from a distance.
It was very fast, much faster than the fastest horses, and it made a loud noise as it drove on the railway.
Soon, the train began to decelerate, and the speed dropped significantly. When the third carriage reached the officials, it just came to a steady stop.
"whispering sound……"
A stream of white gas with a little black smoke spewed out from under the train, which was the product of the combustion and decomposition of liquefied methane.
The carriage door opened, and an old man in a black cloak with a hood came out. He first checked the surrounding officers and scenery to make sure there was no danger, then walked out, bowed respectfully to the carriage door, and saluted.
"Miss Nawei, there is no danger outside."
"Thank you, Elder Iron Fist."
Qian Nawei's soft and pleasant voice came from inside the carriage door.
A few seconds later, a beautiful woman wearing a sapphire blue tube top dress, a combination of sexiness and elegance, stepped out of the carriage, led by a black old man with a hooded cloak, carefully crossed the gap between the train and the platform, and stood at On the platform ground.
The official on the platform hurried forward, bowed respectfully, put his right hand on his left chest, and saluted.
"May I ask, Miss is His Royal Highness Prince Wei?"
Qian Nawei smiled softly, "Exactly."
Hearing this, the officials and several surrounding officers hurriedly bowed and saluted Qian Nawei respectfully.
"See Prince Wei, His Royal Highness thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old."
Qian Nawei raised her hand, "Excuse me."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Only then did the officials and several surrounding officers get up.
Qian Nawei walked a little bit, let the door open, and a dozen officers walked out of the car, as well as Ling Lu, Zi Jin and others.
All the doors of the other carriages on the train were also opened at this time, and a large number of soldiers got off the train in an orderly manner under the leadership of their squad leaders and company commanders, and after gathering, they lined up outside the train station.
This is only the first train. There are many batches of trains in the [-] army, and there will be trains arriving later. They must move quickly to make room for the subsequent trains to stop.
On the platform, Qian Nawei also started to move towards the outside of the train station, surrounded by the official from Notting City and several military officers who had been defeated so far.
Qian Nawei asked while walking.
"City Lord Lin, how is the situation? What is the movement of Xingluo's army?"
Just now, the official had revealed his identity and name to Qian Nawei. Qian Nawei already knew that his surname was Lin, and he was the current city lord of Notting City.
Hearing this, City Lord Lin nodded and told the military situation respectfully.
"After several days of assembly, the Xingluo army has almost all reached the vicinity of Longxing City. Its vanguard has camped two miles outside our Notting City. According to the report from the spies, it will launch an attack tomorrow, trying to break through it in one fell swoop. I'm Notting City."
