After working hard for a day, Lu Hong still couldn't rest on New Year's Eve because there were too many things in the port area that he had to do himself. After all, he was the only one who belonged to Donghuang.

"Jaberlin, take those two door gods over and I want to stick them to the door."

Lu Hong stood on the ladder, stretched out his hand back, waiting for the javelin to hand the door god to him.

"Come on, the commander will take it." What came from behind was not the sound of a javelin, but Z23's.

After sticking the door god, Lu Hong asked curiously: "Z23, where have the others gone? Why are you the only one staying here?"

Z23 closed his eyes and thought for a while, saying, "Jabernet went to play with the Bries, Rafi and Ayanami went to Kasin's dormitory."

"That's right, why don't you go with them Z23?" Lu Hong asked while carrying the ladder.

Hearing Lu Hong's words, Z23's expression suddenly became serious and said, "Because I want to know why I have to post door gods and Spring Festival couplets before the Spring Festival. Can you tell me, Commander?"

After Z23 said this, Lu Hong suddenly remembered that Z23 was a top student and his desire for knowledge was not just as strong as an ordinary person.

After taking the Spring Festival couplet, Lu Hong said while posting, "This is related to the legend of Donghuang, and it is a custom left by his ancestors."

"According to a book by a villain, there is a mountain of Dushuo in the vast plum blossoms. There is a big peach tree on the mountain, with branches winding for three thousand miles. There is a ghost gate with thousands of ghosts coming and going in and out in the northeast of the peach branch. There are two gods on the gate, one is Shentu and the other is Yulei. They guard the ghost gate and specifically monitor the ghosts that harm people. Once they find it, they tie up the ghosts with ropes made of reeds and throw them to the foot of the mountain to feed the tigers. So Huangdi respects them and worships them at the age of time. They paint the statues of Shentu, Yulei and tigers on the door, and hang reed ropes. If there are two evil spirits, they will catch them and feed them to the tigers."

"This is the origin of the door god, and the Spring Festival couplet evolved from the peach talisman. The door god is engraved on the peach talisman, and later it gradually turned into Spring Festival couplets."

Z23 nodded from time to time, and she was very interested in the legend of Donghuang.

After getting Lu Hong's explanation, Z23 looked unsatisfied, and then left Lu Hong alone and went online to search for information.

Lu Hong: "..."

Okay, now I am the only one left, not even a helper. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked for eviction to help.

If it were Akagi, I would definitely be inseparable from myself, but then again, I always feel Akagi is a little weird lately.

After completing the storefront work, Lu Hong hung a sign "Do not disturb" at the door to prevent anyone from visiting him and interrupting his plans.

When I arrived at the canteen, the ship girl inside was working very enthusiastically.

I told Belfast yesterday that she asked her to make dumplings at noon this day, cook by herself to make a good New Year’s Eve dinner.

However, it seems that the difference between my ideal situation is more than a little bit far away!

The pretty faces of the ship girls were covered with a layer of flour, and even Belfast, which has always been outstanding, was no exception.

"Beifa, how should you wrap this dumpling? You can't wrap the stuffing inside."

Guanghui held the dumpling skin full of pinch marks in his hand and looked at Belfast in despair.

Belfast wiped his sweat and said in a panic: "I always follow the methods given by the commander, and there will be no mistakes."

Although I said this, the facts were in front of me. No matter how I pinched it, the dumpling skin couldn't fit.

"What's going on with you? Every face is covered with flour."

Lu Hong came over with a tissue and handed it to everyone in trouble.

Hood pulled out a piece of tissue, wiped the flour from his face, and said, "We followed the instructions of Beifa, but the dumpling skin just couldn't wrap the filling."

"Yes, yes, I've been busy until now, but I haven't made a single dumpling." Akagi nodded quickly and said.

Looking at Belfast with a self-blame look, Lu Hong touched his skin with his hands in confusion and immediately knew what was going on.

"Befa, you're not adding water. Come over with some hot water and salt. I'll knead the dough again."

After receiving Lu Hong's instructions, Belfast hurriedly ran to get it. As a captain maid, he should not make such a mistake.

Lu Hong kneaded the dough again and then picked it up at will, and it was a perfect dumpling.

"The commander is really amazing. He actually solved the problem easily."

"Well, he is worthy of being the commander of Akagi, so worthy of relying on."

The dumpling skin was settled, and with everyone's concerted efforts, one dumpling after another was wrapped.

Lu Hong was cooking dumplings, one after another, and couldn't stop at all.

"Wow! It smells so good! Can the commander start eating?"

Towns' eyes were full of stars, and he wiped his saliva. After playing for the whole morning, his stomach was already so hungry that he was rumbling.

"If someone is hungry, you can eat this and you can instantly bulibuli." Zibuli said as she stared at the dumplings.

Lu Hong brought out the last plate of dumplings and said with a smile: "You can eat it. If you think it doesn't taste good enough, you can also dip it in sauce."

He was already hungry and expelled, regardless of his image, and he started eating one after another, and could not stop at all.

The more mature ship girl tasted it slowly, talking and laughing with the sisters around her, and discussing interesting things.

"Ah, the commander opens his mouth and Akagi is here to feed you."

Akagi had a dumpling in his arms, blocking it with his hands, and feeding Lu Hong.

Lu Hong was not good at saving Chicheng's face, so he could only open his mouth to eat it, but this action with the effect of mocking Lu Hong did not have to do anything at all, and dumplings came to him.

After saying 007, it must be 007. Lu Hong did not rest at noon, so he went out to buy ingredients and prepared for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening.

In the port area, the destroyers seemed to have endless vitality, and their laughter was everywhere, except for Kasin, Rafi and Ayanami who were staying at home.

Belfast led a group of maids to prepare refreshments, black tea, coffee and whiskey for the ship girls.

"I didn't expect that Royal afternoon tea was pretty good." St. Louis said with a sip of coffee and put it on the chair.

Hood picked up the black tea, took a sip, and said, "St. Louis, don't you taste the black tea I made with my own hands?"

Shaking his hand, St. Louis refused to say, "No, I can't drink black tea, or coffee."

Although it is winter now, the temperature in Baiyin City is not too low, and it is rare to see the sun, so you naturally have to have a good afternoon tea.

On weekdays, they are always busy making commissions, and the sisters often cannot find a good time to sit together and gather together.

"Akagi, you are the one who knows the commander best. Do you know what surprises are there tonight?" Guanghui looked at Akagi and asked.

Akagi put down his teacup, shook his head and said, "I don't know. If I can, it wouldn't be a surprise."
