Chapter 2456 Stingray
Everyone was astonished, especially Elder Scyna, followed by the Elf Queen. The Fairy Queen only twitched her eyebrows, but did not have any superfluous reaction.
The head waiter came close to my ear and whispered: "Sir, this is not good. Your Majesty did not give orders and the guests did not arrive."
"Does His Majesty object?"
"Huh?" The head waiter looked confused.
"Did Your Majesty criticize me?"
"Well"
"Nothing, right?" I looked at him with a smile and said, "Since His Majesty neither objected nor accused me of being rude, what is there to worry about?"
"This" the head waiter's expression was tangled, with a confused expression on his brows. He carefully glanced at the two majesties a few meters away. After making sure that he did not detect any displeasure, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Subordinates, I obey. !”
Then he turned around and left, gathering people in a very short time to set up a barbecue.
Nodding with satisfaction, I walked towards the tent with a smile. As soon as I stepped into the tent, the elf queen's slightly reproachful words sounded in my ears: "Why are you preparing the grill so early?"
"Of course it's for barbecue." He walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, took a breath, felt refreshed and energetic, and couldn't help blurting out: "Good tea! The tea from Blue Crystal Town is indeed A must-have!"
"Really?" the Elf Queen muttered in a low voice, and expressed her dissatisfaction to me with her mouth: You are so rude to do this.
I smiled and didn't care at all.
On the other side, Elder Scyna was also looking at me with a strange look. The curiosity and strangeness in her eyes seemed like she was meeting me for the first time.
I chuckled and said, "Your Excellency, what kind of seafood do you like? Is it crabs? Shrimps? Or fish? Or undersea plants?"
".Fish" Elder Scyna pondered for a moment and murmured: "Stingray."
"Stingray. Oh, I remembered. It's a fish that looks like a Frisbee, with a short and thin tail behind it?"
The elder nodded.
"Okay." I waved my hand and called the head waiter over: "Are there any stingrays among the goods we prepared?"
"Replying to your lord, no."
"No? How do you work?" I frowned and said solemnly: "Hurry up and prepare the manpower to catch the stingrays!"
The head waiter responded and left in a hurry.
Turning to look at Elder Scyna, I said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Elder, our people didn't treat you well, which made you laugh."
Elder Scyna seemed to have come back to her senses. She waved her hand and whispered: "That's okay, but Elder, why are you in such a hurry to set up the barbecue grill? You didn't even wait for our majesty to come over?"
"Well, there is a reason for this." I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time. I thought while saying, "Look, it's almost noon. It's the time to prepare dinner on weekdays. Look at how hard we work day and night for national affairs. Your Majesty, the Fairy Queen, is already so old, and she is still waiting hard for your Majesty to come. She is even prepared to wait without lunch. A young man like me, who is in the prime of life, can only eat two meals a day. She feels uncomfortable even if she doesn’t eat, let alone an old person of her age, wouldn’t that kill half of her life!”
"Besides, I'm still her grandson-in-law. I can't watch an old man starve because of my emotions. Besides, I'm also hungry. From early morning to now, I've only eaten a bowl of porridge, an egg, two fried dough sticks, and four... Bottles of grape juice, those things are not good for hunger at all, you can't ask us to meet His Majesty on an empty stomach, that would be rude!"
"Finally, and most importantly, although it's rude to say this, I still have to say it. Your Excellency, Elder Scyna, I think it is indeed rude to set up a barbecue and prepare food without waiting for Your Majesty. However, your Majesty has not shown up for a long time. This is also disrespectful, and it was your country that was disrespectful first, and I was just reciprocating the favor."
Elder Scyna frowned, but did not refute.
The grill was assembled and the charcoal fire was lit. Waves of black and gray smoke continued to dance and twist with the rising heat wave, and finally dissipated in the air.
I found a lot of large pieces of meat skewers, fresh shrimps, sea crabs, shells, and various types of sea fish from the storage box I prepared in advance. Hey, there are really no stingrays.
Put these seafood and meats with serial numbers on the grill and grill them over a uniform fire.
I was enjoying the grilling here, and the head waiter over there had already ran over with a basin of fresh stingray: "Sir, do you think these are enough?"
After a cursory inspection, there were more than a dozen. Considering Elder Scyna's tall figure, it was probably barely enough for her to eat a meal. So she nodded and said: "Put it down and gather more people in the town." Search the surrounding area to see if there are any seamen who have caught stingrays, and if so, buy them at the original price.”
"As commanded."
The head waiter hurried away again.
The aroma of barbecue soon overflowed. I smeared some oil and didn't even sprinkle on the seasonings, so I put it on the plate and served it, ready for a feast.
First, he gave the Fairy Queen a bunch of grilled beef skewers, a bunch of grilled shrimps, and a grilled crab, and brought them to her, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, please use them."
The Fairy Queen nodded with satisfaction, put on the gloves she had prepared in advance, peeled the shrimps, smashed the crabs, and chewed them carefully. Even though he eats slowly, he eats with relish.
Then, I prepared a grilled stingray for Elder Scyna.
This elder of the Naga tribe seems to have never eaten grilled stingray once since he was born. Seeing that she is not as gentle and elegant as usual when eating, it is clear that the grilled stingray is very lethal to her.
Then, I prepared a lot of seafood and handed it to the Elf Queen. However, since she was my fiancée, I had already removed the shrimp heads and smashed the crab shells in advance, which saved her a lot of effort.
The Elf Queen's cheeks were slightly red, she shyly glared at me, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat happily.
Compared with the Fairy Queen, her eating appearance is slightly embarrassing, but compared to Elder Scyna, she is very elegant.
Finally, I picked up a bunch of grilled beef skewers and took a big bite of a sizzling piece of beef. The heat and butter kept hitting my mouth. It was tender and delicious. It was worthy of my grilled beef skewers!
Secretly, I gave myself a thumbs up.
Just as I was about to bite the second piece of beef, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Look, there's a wave!"
Making waves?
I was dumbfounded.
How could the calm and windless sea have waves?
Even if you talk nonsense, there must be a limit, wait! A sudden wave rises on a calm sea. Does this mean that
I quickly turned my head and looked at the three of them, and found that the three of them were also looking at me, and their eyes met. After a while, we put down the food in our hands, straightened our clothes, and strode towards the seaside.
