Chapter 134 134 The third watch on the sixth day of July
The next morning, when Lin Youde entered the restaurant, Isabella was sitting at the table and eating with relish.
Lin Youde looked at the things on the table and found that the content was very simple, a plate of spring rolls, a plate of salted fish, and a bowl of porridge. But Lin Youde knows that this simple menu will not be as simple as it seems.
Lin Youde's chefs are all top masters, and they dare to release such a simple menu, 100% because they are very confident in their own abilities, and believe that they can easily conquer the stomach of a foreign queen without any tricks.
At this time, Isabella saw Lin Youde coming in, and said, "This thing called spring rolls is more to my liking than everything yesterday, probably because this thing is closer to our Western food." In addition, this fish ...... Awesome, I simply doubt it's the fish we eat every day in England, anyway, I agree with your chef stationed at the Palace. β
"You've gotten my go-to to send a spy to you." Lin Youde deliberately raised the bar, but Isabella nodded and said, "That's right."
Lin Youde originally thought that she would be more special after meeting Isabella this morning, but he didn't expect the queen to look as usual, not at all like so many things happened yesterday.
In this case, Lin Youde also decided to act like nothing happened yesterday and eat breakfast normally.
His breakfast was different from Isabella's, and as a Cantonese he likes to eat Cantonese sausages and soup noodles, and the same is true today.
"What's that?" Isabella looked at the intestine that had just been placed in front of Lin Youde and asked, "Pizza?" β
Lin Youde stared at the intestine for a while, not understanding where it looked like pizza.
"Well, I haven't actually eaten pizza either, because the Royal General Service says it's what the poor of Italy eat."
That's right, in this era, it is estimated that there are no food magazines, and I don't know what Lu Dao looks like if I haven't eaten anything.
"This is called lasausage, a traditional breakfast in the Liangguang region of China, do you want one?"
Isabella nodded desperately.
At this time, Lin Youde believed a little bit in the joke he had read before the crossing, which said that a foreign teacher at a certain university who had just come to China stood in front of the fried fritter stall at the entrance of the school every morning. Lin Youde thought that this must be made up, but now it seems that there may really be foreigners who are so "****".
Lin Youde said to the guy to have another sausage, and the guy asked rhetorically: "My lord, do you want Chaoshan, Western Guangdong or Guangxi?" β
"Chaoshan's, just like me." Lin Youde thought about it and felt that if she threw this problem to Isabella, she might want them all, so at least a dozen sausages had to be placed on this table, because there were many variants and subspecies of sausages in each local flavor, which was too miscellaneous. The characteristic that Lin Youde is eating is that the sauce is not ready-made, but a boiled broth, which looks very viscous and yellow, and it is rare to eat this flavor of sausage in Guangzhou before Lin Youde traveled.
After pulling the intestines up, Isabella cut a small piece with a knife and fork like cutting a steak and put it in her mouth.
"Well, it's delicious, are there any particularly rare ingredients in it?"
"Nope." Lin Youde shook his head, "It's just ordinary pork and eggs, as well as rice milk." β
Of course, Lin Youde's chef skills are not ordinary, in the 21st century, these chefs are at least the strongest chefs in five-star hotels, and they can make you delicious dishes at home.
After Isabella finished her breakfast with satisfaction, she looked in a very good mood, and even smiled at Lin Youde.
"Mr. Lin, my chief of staff informed me of the revised itinerary before breakfast, and without further ado, let's start the rest of the outdoor tests."
**
After all the tests, the fox struck an OTL pose directly in front of Lin Youde.
"More than 60 percent of projects fail...... I don't have the shame to see Jiangdong's father, please give me a stronger rope......"
Lin Youde smiled heartlessly and leaned over to pat the fox on the shoulder.
"Miss Chihiro is a typical woman with more than enough strength and insufficient skills." Isabella walked slowly from the other side of the test site, commenting as she went, "If it's a life-and-death battle between the two sides, Miss Chihiro will probably be able to have a certain advantage with sheer strength." But in this kind of competitive competition, the lack of skill is the weakness. β
"Look at you!" The fox grabbed Lin Youde's trouser leg and pointed at Isabella with the other hand, "She's starting to drag me!" Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the slaves! β
The use of "drag" was learned by the fox from Lin Youde, but the use of such a "modern" word from the mouth of a person in this world still made Lin Youde feel strange. Lin Youde always felt that with the fox's personality and adaptability, if she crossed into Lin Youde's world, it would only take a few weeks for her to completely become a fashionable girl.
"Accepting the boast of the victor is also one of the obligations of the loser." Isabella's slightly ridiculous speech made Lin Youde refresh his perception of her again, saying that what about the good knight king?
"Alright, the final test is over. My scientists told me that Mr. Lin arranged for them to visit the factory yesterday afternoon, and I would like to express my gratitude for your trust. Isabella said as she took the handkerchief from the servant and began to wipe the sweat from her body.
Lin Youde looked down at the fox lying on the ground and pretending to cry, and once again confirmed that the queen was really sweating.
"Then, I will follow the plan and lead my delegation to the next stop."
Lin Youde pressed the clothes on his abdomen with his hand and bowed slightly to the queen: "Please let me send you on the special train." β
Originally, Lin Youde planned to let scientists and engineers visit his laboratories and factories yesterday, and then go directly to the next research site by train, and then send the queen and personal guards by plane today, but the British rejected Lin Youde's proposal.
If Lin Youde's plan can be carried out, the queen can stay in Potsdam for an extra afternoon.
Now, Lin Youde must say goodbye to Her Majesty the Queen.
"Before leaving, would Your Majesty be willing to take a picture with me?"
"Yes, no problem." Isabella readily agreed to Lin Youde's request, and smiled at Lin Youde.
I don't know if it's Lin Youde's delusion, he always feels that Isabella smiled at himself more this morning than before.
After the group photo, Lin Youde and the fox put the queen and her party on the special train, and watched the train leave the platform in Potsdam.
**
On the train, the chief of staff came to Isabella with a paperwork.
"Your Majesty, this is a summary of the information sent by the Army Intelligence Bureau in accordance with the request we made last night with the magic guide communication."
"Well," Isabella nodded, taking the paperwork from the chief of staff, "tell them that I'm very happy with their efficiency." β
The chief of staff nodded in understanding, and Isabella began to read the papers, the only sounds in the carriage were the roar of the rushing trains. After a minute, Isabella frowned, "This thing called the 'Iron Cloth Shirt' is just an unconfirmed legend?" β
"It seems so."
"'Perhaps the same superstitious statement as the mob of 1900 claimed invulnerability,'" Isabella said as she read the last words of the document, her brow furrowed as if it were twisted, "it can't be, he was ...... yesterday"
"Your Majesty," the chief of staff hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to continue asking, "I wanted to ask yesterday, why are you suddenly interested in these?" β
"Nothing," Isabella shook her head, "just curious, well, curious." β
Isabella put down the report and looked out the window at the rapidly receding landscape, the new buildings with unique shapes passing her eye one after anotherβit was clear that the train had not yet left the confines of Potsdam.
When all of these buildings were gone, Isabella said to the chief of staff, "I will issue orders with the Queen's authority." β
"Your Majesty, this will make the cabinet members unhappy."
"It doesn't matter, just keep the record in charge." Isabella said in a rare tough manner, the chief of staff nodded, took out a small notebook and fountain pen, and after seeing that the chief of staff was ready, Isabella continued, "The Army Intelligence Bureau immediately set out to establish a committee against Lin Youde and all his industries, which is responsible for intelligence work in this area and collects all possible useful information. β
Isabella paused, setting aside time for the chief of staff to take notes, before continuing, "Send spies to Lin Youde's hometown to collect everything from his birth to the present." The Navy and Army immediately set about demonstrating the military-related parts of Lin's published theories, and noted the prospects for military applications of all the products they introduced. β
The pen in the chief of staff's hand kept writing.
Isabella waited until the chief of staff had finished writing, and then she said, "It's over." β
"That's all?" The Chief of Staff looked a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, using the Queen's authority is a very troublesome matter, the Cabinet will be unhappy, the Parliament will think that you are flouting their authority, and the radical newspapers may even start to preach that your move will bring about a regression of the constitutional monarchy." If it were only to this extent, it could be implemented through the Parliament and the Cabinet. β
Isabella pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before sighing: "Okay, forget about it." I will do these things by convincing the parliament and the cabinet. β
The thought of having to go to great lengths about those obnoxious old stubborns in the future makes Isabella feel tired from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm a little tired." Isabella waved to the chief of staff, "Please let me be on my own for a moment." β
After the chief of staff left the carriage silently, Isabella lay on the table.
"It's troublesome." She whispered.
At this time, she suddenly remembered the conversation she had with the oriental fox yesterday.
"Love," Isabella muttered quietly, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "This kind of luxury that only normal girls are entitled to has nothing to do with me." β
